Open rhinoplasty for treatment of nasal tip haemangioma

Haemangiomas are the most common tumours of infancy. They typically proliferate then involute with considerable variation as regards to their rates of proliferation and involution. Haemangioma of the nasal tip is a lesion of special characteristics. During proliferation, it expands, contracts and deviates the nasal cartilages. Particularly, it regresses slowly and frequently involutes incompletely. That is why excision of the lesion is frequently suggested. The present study was conducted to evaluate open rhinoplasty after initial non-excision treatment modalities namely, intra-lesional corticosteroid injections and laser treatment, as a protocol of treatment for nasal tip haemangiomas. Twelve patients with nasal tip haemangiomas were included in the present study. Patients of both sexes, of different ages, with deep and mixed haemangiomas were studied. Disfigurement was the constant presenting symptom. Initial non-excision treatment reported different responses as denoted by the regression of the lesions’ size. Haemangiomas constantly extended between the medial crura of the alar cartilages as noted by the constant widening of the columella pre-operatively and the obvious separation of the nasal cartilages intra-operatively. This separation was constantly found to require approximation by sutures. The results of the present study concluded that whenever an early presentation with nasal tip haemangioma could be established, initial non-excision treatment followed by open rhinoplasty could be a useful protocol of treatment. Within the limitations of the present study, this protocol could achieve an early, safe and effective treatment for nasal tip haemangiomas with provisionally acceptable cosmetic outcomes so far.

花生凝集素受体在鼻息肉组织中的表达及意义

目的 :探讨花生凝集素受体在鼻息肉组织中的表达及意义。方法 :将 2 4例鼻息肉标本及 15例正常鼻窦黏膜标本行凝集素亲合组织化学ABC法染色。结果 :正常鼻息肉黏膜染色基本阴性 ,鼻息肉呈弱染色。N -PNA(预先经神经氨酸酶处理后再进行PNA染色 )染色均显著加深。结论 :从正常鼻窦黏膜到鼻息肉 ,花生凝集素受体的表达发生改变 ,该种改变在鼻息肉的病理机制中可能起着重要作用

Acoustic rhinometry in nasal provocation test in perennial allergic rhinitis

Acoustic rhinometry is one method to evaluate nasal geometry by an acoustic reflection technique. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in acoustic rhinometry after nasal provocation in patients with exclusively perennial allergic rhinitis. In 19 patients, acoustic rhinometry and active anterior rhinomanometry were performed before and after nasal provocation test. There was a statistically significant nasal flow reduction measured by active anterior rhinomanometry after nasal provocation (p < 0.05) and a median symptom score of four points, both indicating a positive response to nasal provocation. On the other hand, there was no statistically significant change in the values of acoustic rhinometry after nasal provocation (p > 0.05). In patients with exclusively perennial allergic rhinitis, acoustic rhinometry does not seem to significantly change after nasal provocation. In contrast, active anterior rhinomanometry values decreased significantly after nasal provocation. The presented results indicate that acoustic rhinometry does not seem to be a diagnostic method superior to active anterior rhinomanometry in this context.     

埋没导引缝合法矫治鹰钩鼻鼻尖畸形

目的介绍一种较新的矫治鹰钩鼻鼻尖畸形的手术方法。方法自1995年2月至2005年5月,采用埋没导引缝合技术对18例鹰钩鼻鼻尖畸形患者进行手术矫治,术后结合鼻管支撑的鼻孔悬吊法外固定7~10d。结果术后经14个月至3年的随访,18例患者的鼻尖外形良好,形态满意。其中1例患者因鼻腔内悬吊线穿透引起轻度炎症,术后3周剪除缝线,5d自愈。结论采用埋没导引缝合的手术方法对鹰钩鼻鼻尖畸形患者进行矫治,并结合缝合、悬吊和固定,获得了良好的术后效果。此方法是一种较理想的手术方法,值得推广应用。

鼻腔粘膜吸收庆大霉素功能的研究

用静脉内、肌肉内及鼻腔内三种给药途径给１０只狗按５ｍｇ／ｋｇ用４０ｍｇ／ｍｌ的庆大霉素，并使用双波长色谱扫描法测定０～１８０分钟血清庆大霉素的浓度，比较其生物利用度。发现鼻内给药的生物利用度为静脉注射的８０．５％，肌肉注时为４２％。鼻腔用药后１０～３０分钟血清浓度达到高峰，范围在３．７～６．６μｇ／ｍｌ，半衰期长达３小时左右，表明鼻粘膜对庆大霉素有良好的通透性，可使其迅速吸收入血，并能在血中长时间维持有效浓度。     

Bilateral reverse U incisions and separately placed columella relaxation incision for correction of bilateral cleft lip nose deformity

The reverse U incision method has been employed for the correction of the unilateral cleft lip nose deformity for more than twenty years with satisfactory results. It has some columella lengthening effect and thus has proved to be useful for the correction of nasal deformities of bilateral cleft lip. To augment its columella lengthening effect a columella relaxation incision is added to the bilateral reverse U incision for the correction of the bilateral cleft lip nose deformity. This results in a reconstructed columella of satisfactory length and width.
