Comparing Modified with Conventional Parotidectomy for Benign Parotid Tumors
This study retrospectively analyzed 99 patients who had benign parotid lesions and underwent parotidectomy using either conventional or modified parotidectomy. The operation time, cosmetic outcome, great auricular nerve anesthesia, incidence of Frey syndrome, and secretory function with the two techniques were compared.Results: The mean operation time was shorter and the total complication rate was obviously lower in the modified surgery group (p (Source: ORL)

A Retrospective Analysis of & #x03B3; δ T Cell Expression in Chronic Rhinosinusitis and Its Association with Recurrence of Nasal Polyps
Background/Aims: To examine whether #x03B3; δ T cell is expressed in the nasal mucosa of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients and its potential association with recurrence of nasal polyps.Methods: Thirty-six patients with CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and 25 patients with CRS without nasal polyps (CRSsNP) were recruited. Twenty-six patients with other nasal diseases served as controls. The CRSwNP group was divided into the eosinophilic CRSwNP and noneosinophilic CRSwNP groups. The expression of #x03B3; δ T cells was detected by immunohistochemistry. The expression of each subtype of #x03B3;δ T cells was detected by us...
