Insulin-like growth factor-1 as predictive factor of difficult laryngoscopy in patients with GH-producing pituitary adenoma: A pilot study

BackgroundGrowth hormone (GH)-producing pituitary tumors account for 10 to 15% of pituitary tumors. The hypersecretion of GH may induce changes in the airway anatomy through the activation of Insulin-like Growth factor 1(IGF-1) pathway. We sought investigate the role IGF-1 as a potential predictive factor of difficult laryngoscopy in patients with GH-producing pituitary adenoma.MethodsThis study was a single center retrospective study. We included 33 patients undergoing transsphenoidal resection of GH-producing pituitary. We recorded demographic data, el-Ganzouri risk index (EGRI) and modified Look-Evaluate-Mallampati-Obstruction-Neck mobility (mLEMON) score, and pituitary hormone plasma levels. We performed ordinal logistic regression to analyze the relationship between IGF-1 and EGRI, mLEMON, and Cormack-Lehane Grade score and a multiple logistic regression to test the capability of EGRI, mLEMON and IGF-1 levels to predict Cormack-Lehane score. Receiver operating curve (ROC), area under the curve (AUC), and cut-off value of IGF-1 were calculated.ResultsOnly 14 (42.8%) and 12 (36.36%) patients showed predictive factors of difficult intubation according to EGRI and mLEMON score, respectively. IGF-1 significantly correlated with Cormack-Lehane (p = 0.005879) but not with mLEMON and EGRI (p = 0.3080 and 0.4146, respectively). In multiple regression model IGF-1 correlated only with Cormack-Lehane grade (p = 0.0089). Area under ROC was 0.8571 and cut-off value of IGF-1 was 186.15 ng/ml.ConclusionHigher IGF-1 levels correlate with the probability of having a higher Cormack-Lehane score; classical bedside scores, such as mLEMON and EGRI, were not able to predict difficult laryngoscopy in our population.     

电子鼻咽喉镜下声带息肉切除术疗效分析(附128例报告)

目的探讨电子鼻咽喉镜下声带息肉切除术的临床疗效。方法应用Dr．Speech4．0嗓音分析软件，对128例在电子鼻咽喉镜下切除声带息肉患者的嗓音声学参数进行分析比较。结果128例声带息肉患者术后7～15天Jitter、Shimmer、NNE、HNR、SNR恢复正常，与术前相比，差异有非常显著性意义(P＜O．01)；而FD与术前相比，差异无显著,Sk(P＞O．05)。结论电子鼻咽喉镜下声带息肉切除术具有操作简单、安全、费用低、疗效好的优点。     

He—Ne激光治疗声带小结的机理研究

我院应用He－Ne激光治疗551例声带小结，取得较好疗效。为研究作用机理，我们进行了免疫功能测定、测温试验、He－Ne激光照射前后的间接喉镜检查、显微结构研究、抑菌试验和过氧化脂质测定。结果提示He－Ne激光照射治疗声带小结的机理为照射后喉部温度升高、血管扩张、血循环加快，从而增强局部营养，促进喉部粘膜生长、消除组织水肿，加速炎性渗出物和毒素的排泄。而He－Ne激光本身没有杀菌和抑菌作用。     

动态喉镜下咬检性切除早期声带癌

目的：利用动态喉镜观察声带振动及黏膜波动,以早期诊断声带癌,并在图象放大屏幕下活检性切除病变组织;术后动态观察手术侧声带振动及黏膜波的恢复情况,以冀早期发现声带癌复发。方法：对12例早期声带癌,利用动态喉镜活检性切除病变组织。经病理检查其中2例为原位癌,10例为表浅浸润癌。结果：术后11例恢复声带振动及黏膜波动;1例未恢复,予以预防性放疗。术后随访2年以上无肿瘤复发。结论：利用动态喉镜活检性切除早期声带癌并术后动态观察,于表麻下施术,患者痛苦小,治疗时间短,术后发声良好。     

颈部粗短或颈椎病患者的喉动态内镜直视法声带息肉摘除术

目的：探讨喉动态内镜直视下声带息肉摘除术对体胖颈部粗短或颈椎病患者的疗效。方法：对42例体胖颈部粗短或颈椎病患者在喉动态内镜直视下，以弯形声带息肉钳经口咽部行声带息肉摘除术，术中并以喉动态镜观察其声带的对称性、规律性、黏膜波动度及声带闭合度，若发现残留息肉，即时可再次修整摘除。结果：手术均一次成功，无一例发生并发症。术后随访未见复发，音声恢复良好。结论：该术式对体胖颈部粗短或颈椎病患者的声带息肉摘除具有临床应用价值。     

纤维喉镜下气管食管穿刺术及Provox发音钮植入的体会

目的 探讨采用纤维喉镜监察替代硬管食管镜或颈外径路进行气管食管穿刺及植入Provox发音钮的效果。方法 本文引述2例在纤维喉镜下进行二期气管食管穿刺术，2例分别在全麻及局麻下进行，植入Provox发音钮后，再以纤维喉镜检定位置。结果 2例术后能实时使用Provox发音钮发声，音色响亮清澈，并无不良反应。结论 纤维喉镜监察下进行气管食管穿刺术，准确性高，手术创伤小，对因手术或放疗引起颈项不能后仰的病人特别有利。     

纤维喉镜与核磁共振（MRI）在喉癌诊断中的应用

将２５例喉癌的术前纤维喉镜检查和喉部ＭＲＩ与手术、病理进行比较，结果提示：纤维喉镜是喉癌诊断的最基本和最重要手段，能对Ｔ１、Ｔ２声门癌作出准确分期；ＭＲＩ对显示粘膜面肿瘤虽然并不重要，但能准确判断肿瘤对会厌前隙、声门旁隙、喉软骨及喉外的侵犯；两者作用互补，对喉癌的诊断、术前分期及手术方法的选择具有重要意义。     

利多卡因喉部表面浸润麻醉在支撑喉镜下声带息肉摘除术中的临床观察

目的 探讨利多卡因喉部表面浸润麻醉在支撑喉镜下声带息肉摘除术中的心血管效应及术后苏醒躁动情况。方法 2013年6～9月选择20-50岁、美国麻醉医师协会分级Ⅰ-Ⅱ级,在全身麻醉下行支撑喉镜下声带息肉摘除术的患者40例,随机分为对照组和观察组各20例。对照组患者在诱导后3min进行气管插管;观察组患者在诱导后2min用喉麻管向会厌、气管内喷注5mL2%利多卡因,再经过2min进行气管插管。观察和比较两组患者围术期血流动力学指标变化情况及麻醉苏醒期的躁动情况。结果 观察组患者血流动力学指标变化情况明显优于对照组,且躁动评分明显低于对照组,差异均有统计学意义（P〈0.05）。结论 利多卡因喉部表面浸润能有效地减轻支撑喉镜下全身麻醉患者的心血管反应,减少术后躁动,可以良好地应用到支撑喉镜下声带息肉摘除术中。
