Histopathological Changes of Chorda Tympani in Chronic Otitis Media

Objective To investigate whether histopathological changes of chorda tympani might exist in patients with chronic otitis media without facial paralysis.

Chondrosarcoma of the thyroid cartilage

Sarcomas of the larynx are extremely rare neoplasms that account for approximately one per cent of all tumours of this organ. We present a case of laryngeal chondrosarcoma originating from thyroid cartilage, characterized by an unusual long clinical course over 15 years without laryngeal symptoms or duplication of metastases, treated at the Süleyman Demirel University Medical Faculty, Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) department.

Amyloidosis of the tongue with kappa light chain disease

A 70‐year‐old woman presented with a painful, red tongue with papules associated with xerostomia and systemic symptoms including weight loss, difficulty in swallowing and breathing, haemochezia and leg swelling. Biopsy from the tongue demonstrated amyloid deposits and, on further investigation, kappa chain disease was diagnosed. Primary systemic amyloidosis was diagnosed and the patient died within weeks of presentation.

The Effect of G-CSF in an Experimental MRSA Graft Infection in Mice

Wound infection after prosthetic material implantation is a troublesome complication with an incidence of 2% to 10%. The effect of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) was studied in an experimental methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) graft infection model. Eighty adult mice were used. Under general anesthesia an abdominal incision of 2 cm in length was performed. A subcutaneous cavity of 2 × 2 cm in size was created. Polypropylene mesh pieces of 2 × 1 cm and MRSA solution of 0.1ml of 108 CFU/mL were used. G-CSF was applied systemically or locally in a dosage of 0.02 MU/30 g body weight. There were 8 groups: group I, wound + MRSA; group II, wound + mesh + MRSA; group III, wound + mesh + MRSA + G-CSF (ip, 48 h before operation); group IV, wound + mesh + MRSA + G-CSF (ip, 24 h before operation); group V, wound + mesh + MRSA + G-CSF (locally, into the cavity); group VI, wound + mesh (incubated in G-CSF solution for 4 h) + MRSA; group VII, wound + mesh + MRSA + G-CSF, ip, 24 h from operation; and group VIII (positive control group), wound + mesh + MRSA + Teicoplanin (0.03 mg/30 g body weight, ip, 1/2 h before operation). Three days after, animals were killed and incisions were examined for possible infection or abscess formation and wound failure. Meshes were removed; after vortexing and dilution, samples were incubated with 5% agar media. Results of bacterial incubation were evaluated 24 h and 48 h later. There were symptoms of wound infection and abscess formation in all groups except group VIII. In group VIII, MRSA was isolated in 7 events with a colony count below 103. Bacterial counts were above 106 (106–108) in all other groups. Thus, it was observed that wound infection could be created with this model, but G-CSF could not prevent the development of wound infection, whether it was administered systemically or locally. Teicoplanin decreased the number of colony-forming units of MRSA, and prevents wound infection in this MRSA wound infection model.
