[Laryngeal and tracheal stenosis caused by Wegener's granulomatosis].
Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) is a multisystem disease characterized by necrotizing granulomatous inflammation and vasculitis. WG classically involves the upper airway, lung and kidneys. Otolaryngologic manifestations are often the presenting symptoms in WG, Subglottic stenosis is a less common, but a life-threatening manifestation of WG, This paper studies about the laryngeal and tracheal stenosis diagnosis and surgical treatment of Wegener's granulomatosis in the past 20 years.

Randomized Controlled Trial[Correlative study of the metabolic disorder of hippocampus and cerebral cortex and cognitive impairment in moderate to severe OSAHS patients].
To research the serum levels of BDNF, H2S and S-100β as metabolic product of hippocampus and cerebral cortex in moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS) patients before and after surgery, and to analyze their correlations with cognitive impairment. ⋯ OSAHS patients with sleep disorder and nocturnal hypoxemia might suffer from cognitive dysfunction in which attention and memory predominates. Serum BNDF, H2S and S-100β levels, which could indirectly reflect the metabolic abnormalities degree of hippocampus and cerebral cortex, are sensitive indicators of early cognitive dysfunction in OSAHS patients.

[Diagnosis and treatment of sleep disordered breathing: an update].
The sleep breathing disorders (SDB) include obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), central sleep apnea disorders, sleep related hypoventilation disorders, and sleep related hypoxemia disorder in international classification of sleep diseases 3rd edition (ICSD-3). Latest diagnosis criteria are introduced. Treatments, which target to Individual contributors, should be applied. ⋯ The methods of evaluation patients' arousal thresholds, loop gain as well as neuromyopathy in clinical setting are reported. Several new treatment strategies are developed and applied for OSA. Long term follow up and more data are needed for evaluation the outcomes of hypoglossal nerve stimulation, bariatric surgery as well as medicine as treatments for OSA.

Review[The research progress of relationship between the obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome and asthma].
Obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is characterized by repeated episodes of upper airway obstruction that results in brief periods of breathing cessation (apnea) or a marked reduction in airflow (hypopnea) during sleep. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways characterized by revesible air-flow obstruction and bronchial hyperresponsiveness. This article reviewed related reseaches progress of relationship between the obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrom and asthma in the vascular endothelial growth factor, systemic inflammation, leptin, obesity, gastroesophageal reflux disease and upper airway diseases, excessive daytime sleepiness and asthma control.

[Analysis of clinical features with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in elderly patients and precautions for canalith repositioning procedure treatment].
To analyze clinical features with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and discuss the attentions in the canalith repositioning procedures. ⋯ There are various precipitating factors in elderly patients with BPPV, the most frequent precipitating factors were related to psychological factor and overfatigue. The symptoms of the patients attack BPPV was always mask with other diseases, but do not impact on the efficacy of Canalith repositioning at the first time; Even the efficacy of repositioning is poor at the first time, it's effective and safety after multiple treatments of repositioning; It prolonged the symptoms including carenaria, dizziness and nausea after treatment.
