The function of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in the metastasis and development of hypopharyngeal carcinoma
ConclusionThe expression of matrix metalloproteinases-2 and 9 in hypopharyngeal carcinoma was significantly higher than that in pericarcinoma tissue, and it was enhanced with the increase of clinical stage. The expression level was related to lymph node metastasis and tumor pathological stage. Thus, matrix metalloproteinases-2 and 9 may be involved in the occurrence, development, invasion and metastasis of hypopharyngeal carcinoma through a variety of mechanisms.ResumoIntroduçãoA função da metaloproteinase da matriz 2 e9 nas metástases e no desenvolvimento de carcinoma hipofaríngeo ainda não foi esclarecida.Objetivo...

The characteristic of otoacoustic emissions in full-term neonates with ABO blood groups
ConclusionFemale individuals with blood group O have lower otoacoustic emissions values than individuals with the other three blood groups. We need to further investigate the possible relationships between ABO blood group and cochlear function, including the potential influences of noise damage on cochlear outer hair cells.ResumoIntroduçãoPesquisas anteriores sugeriram que indivíduos de diferentes grupos sanguíneos apresentam incidências distintas de perda auditiva induzida por ruído. As amplitudes reduzidas das emissões otoacústicas indicaram maiores ou menores possibilidades de danos às células ciliadas por exp...

Neurotology: definitions and evidence-based therapies – Results of the I Brazilian Forum of neurotology
ConclusionThis text rationally grouped the main topics of knowledge regarding the definitions and therapies of Neurotology, allowing the reader a broad view of the approach of neurotological patients based on scientific evidence and national experience, which should assist them in clinical decision-making, and show the most evidence-lacking topics to stimulate further study.ResumoIntroduçãoA otoneurologia é uma área de conhecimento que vem se expandindo muito rapidamente. O estudo do sistema vestibular tem avançado tanto, que mesmo definições básicas, como o significado dos sintomas vestibulares, foram apenas recen...

Diagnostic assessment of patients with Meniere's disease through caloric testing and the video-head-impulse test
ConclusionMost patients with definite Meniere's disease showed hyporeflexia at the Caloric Test and video-Head-Impulse Test with normal function in the symptomatic ear. Vestibular hyporeflexia at the Caloric Test was more frequent in the symptomatic and asymptomatic ears of patients with Meniere's disease than in the control group. The video-Head-Impulse Test showed more alterations in the lateral SCCs.ResumoIntroduçãoDoença de Ménière é uma labirintopatia que geralmente se manifesta com episódios de vertigem espontânea, associada à perda auditiva neurossensorial, ao zumbido e à plenitude aural ipsi e unilateral,...
