BCOR-CCNB3 sarcoma arising in the pharynx
Reports on BCOR-CCNB3 sarcoma in the head and neck region are scarce, given their unknown etiology. An 18-year-old male patient presented a rapidly enlarging tumor extending from the right nasopharynx to the oropharynx. Histological examination showed a spindle cell sarcoma with BCOR-CCNB3 fusion detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization, and BCOR-CCNB3 was diagnosed. After three courses of alternating VDC-IE therapy, the patient underwent tumor resection based on the original tumor range with a minimal margin, using the mandibular swing technique.

Vocal fold fibroblasts promote angiogenesis in vocal fold leukoplakia by secreting pro-angiogenic factors
In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of vocal fold leukoplakia-associated fibroblasts (VFLFs) on the angiogenesis process in vocal fold leukoplakia (VFL) and their potential secretions of proangiogenic factors. (Source: Auris, Nasus, Larynx)

Investigation of the diversity of human papillomavirus 16 variants and L1 antigenic regions relevant for the prevention of human papillomavirus-related oropharyngeal cancer in Japan
This study aimed to investigate the distribution of human papillomavirus 16 (HPV16) variants that contribute to the development of HPV-related oropharyngeal carcinoma (HPV-OPC) in the Japanese population and to evaluate genetic variations in the sequence encoding the L1 antigen region of the viral outer shell that is targeted by existing vaccines and is relevant for designing a prevention strategy to combat the exponential increase in HPV-OPC cases in Japan.

Discrepancies in the caloric testing and video Head Impulse Test results in a case with bilateral lateral semicircular canal malformations
We present a case with bilateral LSCC malformations for whom the function of each vestibular organ was evaluated by caloric testing, video Head Impulse Test (vHIT) and vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP). Caloric testing showed canal paresis of the left side, whereas vHIT showed bilateral normal semicircular canal function. (Source: Auris, Nasus, Larynx)

Authors ’ reply to: Comment on the article by Dr. Jérôme R. LECHIEN: Laryngopharyngeal reflux, chronic rhinosinusitis and nasopharyngeal pH monitoring
We would like to thank Lechien et al. for reading our paper and providing valuable opinions with regard to our study. As they mentioned, the detection of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) with reflux symptom index (RSI) and reflux finding score (RFS) remains controversial. Especially, LPR is associated with nonspecific symptoms and s inonasal outcome test (SNOT-22) and RSI have overlapping items such as cough and postnasal discharge. Multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH monitoring is ideal for patients with suspected LPR, but not always practical [1]. (Source: Auris, Nasus, Larynx)

Patterns of velopharyngeal closure during speech in individuals with normal habitual resonance: A nasoendoscopic analysis
Velopharyngeal valve closure is essential for adequate speech intelligibility as well as for other activities. The variations in the contribution of different components of the velopharyngeal port walls produce different closure patterns. The aim of this cross-sectional study is to identify the prevalence of the different velopharyngeal closure patterns in Arabic-speaking individuals with no perceived hypernasality or velopharyngeal dysfunction.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease with dizziness initially presenting to the otolaryngology department
We report the case of a 56-year-old woman with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease who initially presented with dizziness as an emergency patient to the otolaryngology department. Primary position upbeat nystagmus was identified using a charge-coupled device camera with infrared illumination. (Source: Auris, Nasus, Larynx)

Recent progress in endoscopic skull base surgery: Functional preservation and multiportal approaches
Over the past couple of decades, endoscopic skull base surgery (ESBS) has significantly evolved and is applied to a broad range of skull base pathologies, including sinonasal malignancies. Recent studies have demonstrated remarkable progress of ESBS in complete resection with low morbidity and extension of its application to larger and more complex lesions. In this review, we focus on the evolution of functional preservation and multiportal approaches. Progress in preoperative assessments and surgical techniques improved the preservation of olfactory function after ESBS. (Source: Auris, Nasus, Larynx)

The characteristics of dysphagia and the incidence of pneumonia in Myotonic dystrophy type 1 patients especially concerning swallowing function evaluated by endoscopy
The objectives of the study were to clarify the characteristics of dysphagia and the incidence of pneumonia in Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) patients, and to investigate the relationship between the development of pneumonia and the DM1 patient's background, especially concerning swallowing function evaluated by endoscopy.

Hsa_circ_0081534 facilitates malignant phenotypes by sequestering miR-874-3p and upregulating FMNL3 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Objective: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are connected to nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) development and progression. CircRNA hsa_circ_0081534 (circ_0081534) has been reported to be associated with NPC progression, but its underlying regulatory mechanisms are largely unknown. Thus, the study aims to investigate the mechanism by which circ_0081534 regulates NPC progression. Methods: Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction was conducted to detect circ_0081534 expression. Loss-of-function assays were conducted to evaluate the role of circ_0081534, including 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazoliu...
