laryngeal neoplasms/potassium

Evidence indicates that human ether à-go-go-related gene 1 (HERG1) voltage-gated potassium channels could represent new valuable membrane therapeutic targets and diagnostic/prognostic biomarkers in various cancers. This study is the first to investigate the expression pattern of HERG1 potassium

Accumulating evidence has shown that aberrant lncRNA expression plays an oncogenic or tumor-suppressive role in the tumorigenesis of laryngeal cancer. However, the prognostic roles of lncRNAs in laryngeal cancer recurrence are still poorly understood. In this study, we obtained lncRNA expression

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relative factors of pharyngo cutaneou fistulas after larynx cancer and lower pharynx cancer surgery. METHODS The clinical datas of 87 larynx cancer patients and lower pharynx cancer patients admitted were retrospectively analyzed. According to the type of postoperative

The concept of ion channels as membrane therapeutic targets and diagnostic/prognostic biomarkers has attracted growing attention. We therefore investigated the expression pattern and clinical significance of the Kv3.4 potassium channel subunit during the development and progression of head and neck

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relation between various micronutrients and laryngeal cancer risk. METHODS A case-control study was conducted in Italy and Switzerland between 1992 and 2000. Cases were 527 patients with incident cancer of larynx, admitted to the major teaching and general hospitals of

At present, there is a shortage of detailed data on head and neck cancer treatment in acute care hospitals in Japan. We conducted an analysis of the care process for laryngeal cancer inpatients in Japan using a national administrative database based on the case-mix system known as the Diagnosis

Local control rate (LCR) of early glottic cancer is high after radiation therapy or transoral laser microsurgery (TLM). The aim of this study was to investigate functional voice outcome after TLM using a microvessel-ablative potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser in

Objectives: The primary objectives were to report oncologic outcomes of transoral laser microsurgery with potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser (TLM-KTP) ablation of early glottic cancer (EGC). The secondary objectives were to report

A new technique for endolaryngeal microsurgery is proposed. It based on the irradiation of benign laryngeal tumours using Ho:YAG and potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) lasers. A total of 198 patients of either sex aged from 2 to 77 years with a variety of benign laryngeal neoplasms were treated by

Total potassium was assayed in 101 patients (58--laryngeal cancer and 43--stomach cancer) on the basis of natural background radiation of 40K in a low background chamber. Both cellular and extracellular mass of the body was determined. Control group included 260 healthy subjects. Deficiency in

Transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) for treatment of laryngeal cancer has reduced temporary tracheotomies, increased organ preservation rates, and improved functional results. Gold standard for laser-based transoral resection of laryngeal cancer is the application of CO₂ lasers.

The high incidence of oropharyngeal, esophageal, and laryngeal cancers in certain parts of the world has been ascribed to conjugated tannins found in certain folk medicinal herbs. We extracted miang leaf and betel nut with phosphate-buffered saline (0.14 M NaCl, 0.15 M potassium phosphate buffer, pH

BACKGROUND Since the death of the Emperor Friedrich III in June 1888, there are still controversial discussions whether the Crown Prince could have been healed from his laryngeal cancer by a thyrotomy planned by his German physicians for May 21, 1887. METHODS In order to find an answer to this
