sPD-L1 is potential predictive biomarker for differentiation of malignant lesions in head and neck region.
- •
Significantly higher levels of sPD-L1 are detected in malignant tumors.
- •
Higher levels of sPD-L1 proves reliable prognostic biomarker in predicting early recurrence of laryngeal cancer.
- •
Increased sPD-L1 correlates with poor disease-free survival in head and neck cancer.
- •
The associated oral manifestations in HIV patients remain present even in the HAART era.
- •
Periodontal disease with or without mobility were the predominant oral lesions in the patients of this study.
- •
No relationship was found between oral lesions, TCD4+ and TCD8+ cell count, TCD4:TCD8 ratio, or viral load.
- •
There is a protective effect of duration of treatment with relation to periodontal disease with mobility.
- •
For the first time, a rat rhinosinusitis model was established using LPS and Merocel sponge.
- •
LPS can induce nasal inflammation through TLR4 signaling pathway.
- •
LPS can reduce AQP5, occludin protein expression.
- •
The safety and efficacy of alternating chemoradiotherapy using cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil were retrospectively examined in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients.
- •
The overall comlete response rate was 93% with preserving renal function.
- •
The 5-year overall survival and progression-free survival rates were 83.7% and 88.9%, respectively.
- •
Treatment compliance, the 5-year overall survival rate and the 5-year overall survival rate are comparable to that of previous reports.
- •
Alternating chemoradiotherapy using cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients was well tolerated with acceptable efficacy.
- •
Develop a treatment algorithm for pediatric orbital blowout fractures.
- •
Findings to consider urgent release for linear type of pediatric orbital blowout fractures: missing rectus and OCR.
- •
Present the results using the Hess area ratio, an objective measure of treatment outcome.
- •
Simple algorithm easily used even for physicians who do not specialize in orbital care.
- •
Algorithm producing successful treatment outcomes.
- •
The total number of diagnostic exams and surgical procedures had decreased significantly.
- •
Surgery for head and neck cancer treatment increased in the total surgical logbook.
- •
Most residents faced reduction in surgical logbook and deployment to COVID-19 facilities.
- •
Tinnitus is a common disorder that affects hearing and social interactions.
- •
Patients with tinnitus have reported hearing difficulties in noisy environments.
- •
Tinnitus negatively impacts sound source localization in those with normal hearing.
- •
It might also affect the processing of brain cues for sound source discrimination.
- •
This work aims to explore whether cAMP-Epac1 signaling is also activated.
- •
We verified the differential expression of Epac1 and Epac2 in the inner ear of guinea pigs with endolymphatic hydrops.
- •
The results of this study showed DDAVP upregulated Epac1 protein expression in the guinea pig cochlea.
