Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic resection of infratemporal fossa mass and to determine the indications for surgery. Methods: A retrospective case series study was conducted, including a total of 29 patients who underwent endoscopic surgery to treat infratemporal fossa mass in the Department of Rhinology of Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, from April 2008 to December 2021. Ten males and 19 females were included in the study, with age of (46.5±13.7) years. Pre-and post-operative sinus CT, sinus or nasopharyngeal enhanced MRI were evaluated, respectively. The main outcome measurements were the total resection of mass and the incidence of surgery-related complications. Results: Among the 29 cases of infratemporal fossa mass, 22 were schwannomas, 3 were cysts, 2 were neurofibromas, 1 was pleomorphic adenoma and 1 was basal cell adenoma. Preoperative imaging showed well-defined lesion boundaries, and postoperative pathology confirmed the benign nature of all cases. The endoscopic transnasal approach was used in 28 patients, while the combination of the transnasal approach and the transoral approach was used in 1 patient. Complete tumor removal was achieved in all cases with a 100% resection rate. The average follow-up time was 38 months (7-168 months), and no tumor recurrence was observed. Conclusions: The Endoscopic transnasal approach is a safe and effective surgical approach for the treatment of benign tumors or masses in the infratemporal fossa.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in the treatment of locally advanced olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB), and to explore the factors related to the efficacy of NACT. Methods: A total of 25 patients with ONB who underwent NACT in Beijing TongRen Hospital from April 2017 to July 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 16 males and 9 females, with an average age of 44.9 years (ranged 26-72 years). There were 22 cases of Kadish stage C and 3 cases of stage D. After multiple disciplinary team(MDT) discussion, all patients were treated sequentially with NACT-surgery-radiotherapy. Among them, 17 cases were treated with taxol, cis-platinum and etoposide (TEP), 4 cases with taxol, nedaplatin and ifosfamide (TPI), 3 cases with TP, while 1 case with EP. SPSS 25.0 software was used for statistical analysis, and survival analyses were calculated based on the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: The overall response rate of NACT was 32% (8/25). Subsequently, 21 patients underwent extended endoscopic surgery and 4 patients underwent combined cranial-nasal approach. Three patients with stage D disease underwent cervical lymph node dissection. All patients received postoperative radiotherapy. The mean follow-up time was 44.2 months (ranged 6-67 months). The 5-year overall survival rate was 100.0%, and the 5-year disease-free survival rates was 94.4%. Before NACT, Ki-67 index was 60% (50%, 90%), while Ki-67 index was 20% (3%, 30%) after chemotherapy [M (Q1, Q3)]. The change of Ki-67 before and after NACT was statistically significant (Z=-24.24, P<0.05). The effects of age, gender, history of surgery, Hyams grade, Ki-67 index and chemotherapy regimen to NACT were analyzed. Ki-67 index≥25% and high Hyams grade were related to the efficacy of NACT (all P<0.05). Conclusions: NACT could reduce Ki-67 index in ONBs. High Ki-67 index and Hyams grade are clinical indicators sensitive to the efficacy of NACT. NACT-surgery-radiotherapy is effective for patients with locally advanced ONB.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize the follow-up outcomes of frontal drill out procedures (draf Ⅱb, extended draf Ⅱb and draf Ⅲ) using mucosal flaps, and discuss the surgical indications of different mucosal flaps and their potential benefits to the opening of the frontal neo-ostium. Methods: A total of 48 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis or frontal mucoceles treated by draf Ⅱb, extended draf Ⅱb and draf Ⅲ between 2013 and 2019 in Beijing TongRen Hospital were enrolled in this study. Twenty-four patients who were treated with mucosal flaps were considered as mucosal flap group (including 19 males and 5 females, aging from 19 to 71 years), and the other 24 patients who didn't have neo-ostium reconstruction were considered as control group (including 18 males and 6 females, aging from 21 to 63 years). The frontal neo-ostium crosssectional area was measured with osiriX® 7 days and 1 year postoperatively. Lund-Kennedy score (LKS) was also completed to analyze the difference of therapeutic effect between mucosal flap group and control group. SPSS 23.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results: The postoperative follow-up time was 18 to 102 months. The postoperative epithelialization time in the mucosal flap group and the control group was (2.5±0.9) months and (3.0±0.7) months (Mean±SD), respectively, with statistically significant (t=1.97, P=0.024). At the end of follow-up, 23 cases (95.8%) had well opened frontal neo-ostium, 1 case (4.2%) was re-stenosed, and there was no revision surgery in the mucosal flap group. In the control group, 16 cases (66.7%) had well opened frontal neo-ostium, 8 cases (33.3%) were re-stenosed, 4 cases (16.7%) had revision surgery. The mucosal flap group had much fewer stenosis cases than control group (χ2=4.92, P=0.027). The neo-ostium area in the mucosal flap group and the control group was reduced by (0.87±0.58) cm2 and (1.54±1.15) cm2 1 year after operation respectively, with statistically significant (t=1.72, P=0.046). There was no case of frontal sinus atresia and no surgical complication in both groups. The two-factor repeated measurement analysis of variance after surgery showed that the average LKS of the mucosal flap group was 0.78 points lower than that of the control group. In other words, the influence of grafting technique on LKS was statistically significant (F=5.33, P=0.035). Conclusions: The application of mucosal flaps to cover the denuded bone during frontal drill out procedures can prohibit mucosal scar and new bone formation, and significantly reduce the stenosis rate of frontal neo-ostium.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore the effect and mechanism of chondrocyte apoptosis on the chemotaxis of osteoclast precursors (OCPs) during bone destruction. DESIGN The relationship between cartilage and bone destruction was verified with a rat temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) model. The pan-caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK (ZVAD) was applied to confirm the chemotactic effect of chondrocyte apoptosis on OCPs. Synthesis and release of the key chemokine CX3CL1 in apoptotic and non-apoptotic chondrocytes was assessed with IHC, IF, WB, and ELISA. The function of CX3CL1-CX3CR1 axis in the chemotaxis of OCPs was examined by CX3XR1 inhibitor AZD8797 (AZD) and si-CX3CL1. The regulatory effect of p38 MAPK on CX3CL1 release was verified by p38 inhibitor PH-797804. RESULTS A temporal and spatial association between cartilage degradation and bone resorption was found in the TMJOA model. The caspase-dependent chondrocyte apoptosis promoted chemotaxis of OCPs, which can be restrained by ZVAD. CX3CL1 was significantly upregulated when chondrocytes underwent apoptosis, and it played a critical role in the recruitment of OCPs, blockage of CX3CL1-CX3CR1 axis resulted in less bone resorption in TMJOA. P38 MAPK was activated in apoptotic chondrocytes, and had a regulatory effect on the synthesis and release of CX3CL1. After inhibition of p38 by PH-797804, the chemotactic effect of apoptotic chondrocytes on OCPs was limited. CONCLUSIONS This study indicates that apoptosis of chondrocytes in TMJOA enhances chemotaxis of OCPs toward osteoclast precursors through upregulation of the p38-CX3CL1 axis, thereby promoting the activation of local osteoclasts.

Abstract
To investigate the characteristics and molecular events of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) for tissue regeneration with aging, we isolated and analyzed the stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) and permanent teeth of young (Y-DPSCs) and old (A-DPSCs) adults. Results showed that the stemness and osteogenic differentiation capacity of DPSCs decreased with aging. The RNA sequencing results showed that glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism was one of the most enriched gene clusters among SHED, Y-DPSCs, and A-DPSCs, according to analysis based on the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes. The expression of serine metabolism-related enzymes phosphoserine aminotransferase 1 (PSAT1) and phosphoglycerate (PHGDH) decreased in A-DPSCs and provided less methyl donor S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) for DNA methylation, leading to the hypomethylation of the senescence marker p16 (CDNK2A). Furthermore, the proliferation and differentiation capacity of Y-DPSCs and SHED decreased after PHGDH siRNA treatment, which reduced the level of SAM. Convincingly, the ratios of PSAT1-, PHGDH-, or proliferating cell nuclear antigen-positive cells in the dental pulp of old permanent teeth were less than those in the dental pulp of deciduous teeth and young permanent teeth. In summary, the stemness and differentiation capacity of DPSCs decreased with aging. The decreased serine metabolism in A-DPSCs upregulated the expression of p16 via attenuating its DNA methylation, resulting in DPSC aging. Our finding indicated that serine metabolism and 1 carbon unit participated in stem cell aging, which provided new direction for stem cell aging study and intervention.

Abstract
Severe inflammation, progressive cartilage, and bone destruction are typical pathologic changes in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthritis and lead to great difficulty for treatment. However, current therapy is inefficient to improve degenerative changes in progressive TMJ arthritis. This study investigated the therapeutic effects of human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) on severe inflammatory TMJ diseases. Progressive TMJ arthritis in rats was induced by intra-articular injection of complete Freund's adjuvant and monosodium iodoacetate. DPSCs were injected into the articular cavity to treat rat TMJ arthritis, with normal saline injection as control. Measurement of head withdrawal threshold, micro-computed tomography scanning, and histologic staining were applied to evaluate the severity of TMJ arthritis. Results showed that local injection of DPSCs in rats with TMJ arthritis relieved hyperalgesia and synovial inflammation, attenuated cartilage matrix degradation, and induced bone regeneration. Inflammatory factors TNF-α and IFN-γ were elevated in progressive TMJ arthritis and partially decreased by local injection of DPSCs. MMP3 and MMP13 were elevated in the arthritis + normal saline group and decreased in the arthritis + DPSCs group, which indicated amelioration of matrix degradation. The isolated primary synoviocytes were cocultured with DPSCs after inflammatory factors stimulated to explore the possible biological mechanisms. The expression of MMP3 and MMP13 in synoviocytes was elevated after TNF-α and IFN-γ stimulation and partially reversed by DPSC treatment in the in vitro study. The signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) was activated by inflammatory stimulation and suppressed by DPSC coculture. The upregulation of MMP3 and MMP13 triggered by inflammation was blocked by STAT1-specific inhibitor, suggesting that STAT1 regulated the expression of MMP3 and MMP13. In conclusion, this study demonstrated the possible therapeutic effects of local injection of DPSCs on progressive TMJ arthritis by inhibiting the expression of MMP3 and MMP13 through the STAT1 pathway.

Abstract
Objective: To describe the influence of post-operative anatomical structure changes on nasal airflow characteristics by 3D reconstruction and numerical simulation in real cases after nasalisation with Draf Ⅲ so as to explore the correlation between the changes of anatomical structure and subjective symptoms as well as airflow characteristics. Methods: Ten patients underwent nasalization with Draf Ⅲ in Department of Rhinology in Beijing Tongren Hospital from 2006 to 2018 were selected retrospectively. Postoperative follow-up of all patients was more than 1 year. All patients had no abnormalities in their paranasal sinus CT scans and Lund-Kennedy scores were 0 except scar. VAS scores including nasal obstruction, stimulation in frontal sinus, and headache were collected at the same period. The control model was a normal person. Numerical simulation was used for calculating airflow characteristics in deep inspiratory period of both models. Independent sample Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman correlation test were used by software SPSS 22.0. Results: The airflow pressure in frontal sinus ostium was (7.21±1.39)×10(4) Pa (Mean±SD), which was lower than that in normal subjects (8.99×10(4) Pa) under deep inspiratory simulation. But, the velocities in frontal sinus ostium and frontal sinus were (40.10±2.46) m/s and (28.19±1.73) m/s respectively, which were higher than those in normal one (2.70 m/s, 0.73 m/s). The airflow patterns of the two models were basically similar. There was no significant difference in the opening size and volume of frontal sinus between different groups after grouped by three symptoms respectively. No correlation could be found between the opening size and volume of the frontal sinus with the appearance and severity of three subjective symptoms. Conclusions: The airflow pattern and distribution after nasalisation with Draf Ⅲ are like those of normal person. There is no correlation between the changes of anatomy in frontal recess and frontal sinus and nasal airflow characteristics as well as subjective symptoms.

Abstract
Objectives: To discuss the clinical and radiological features of IgG4-related rhinosinusitis. Methods: In this retrospective research, the clinical data of 16 patients diagnosed with IgG4 related rhinosinusitis, who were enrolled in Beijing Tongren Hospital from November 2013 to September 2017, were collected. The clinical features, laboratory findings, radiological findings, histological features, treatment and prognosis were all summarized. Results: There were 12 males and 4 females among 16 patients, and male-to-female ratio was 3︰1. The age was between 30 to 70 years old, with median age of 52 years old. The chief nasal complaints were nasal obstruction and hyposmia, complicated with proptosis and eyelid swelling in 11 patients (11/16). Serum IgG4 levels were elevated in all patients and the value was over 1.44 g/L, and one patient serum IgG4 level was up to 49.70 g/L. Computed tomography (CT) showed the mainly affected sinuses were bilateral ethmoid sinus and olfactory cleft. The classic feature of CT scans was thickening of the involved bilateral ethmoid sinus mucous membrane with ethmoid bone absorption, which was mainly at midline. Histological features were severe inflammation of the mucosal tissue with mass of neutrophils and plasma cell infiltration. All patients were treated by methylprednisolone combined with cyclophosphamide or methotrexate. Remission of symptoms was detected in all patients. Conclusion: The clinical features of IgG4-related rhinosinusitis are often accompanied by orbital tissue involvement, elevated IgG4 serum concentration, associated sinus imaging changes, and sensitive glucocorticoid and immunosuppressive therapy.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the imaging features of unilateral maxillary sinus nasal lesions and the selection of treatment strategies based on imaging findings for these lesions. Method: The CT and enhanced MRI data of 64 cases of unilateral maxillary sinus and nasal lesions were selected. The imaging findings and surgery approach were observed and recorded. To summarize the imaging characteristics and analyze the choice of treatment strategy. Result: All 64 Unilateral maxillary sinus nasal lesions presented a roughly uniform soft tissue density shadow on CT. In all benign lesions, there were 9 cases manifested maxillary sinus wall bone destruction and bone discontinuity(18.4%,9/49); There were 17 cases of bone hyperplasia (34.7%,17/49).Bone destruction was observed in 14 cases of all malignant lesions (93.3%, 14/15). The appearance is approximately uniform signal shadow on MRI T1WI images. The lesions with different properties of the enhanced T1 images showed the imaging manifestations with their own characteristics. According to the CT and enhanced MRI images, the designed treatment plan was divided into 5 types. The coincidence rate of operation and plan was 90.5%,there were 4 cases of temporary modification in operation. Conclusion: For unilateral lesions, preoperative enhanced MRI and CT scan should be included as routine examination. CT is clear for bone observation, and can be the nature of tumor and germinal center. Enhanced MRI can provide more accurate information on the lesion scope, blood supply and the relationship between mass and surrounding tissues. Combined with the preoperative imaging data, it can provide the basis for the operation plan and treatment strategy of unilateral lesions.

Abstract
Objective:To study the surgical outcomes of functional endoscopic sinus surgery and radical sinus surgery for refractory rhinosinusitis.Method:A retrospective analysis of 56 cases with refractory rhinosinusitis was performed, who were enrolled in Beijing Tongren hospital from January 2011 to April 2013. According to different surgical methods, all patients were classified into functional endoscopic surgery group (FESS group) and radical sinus surgery group (RSS group). All patients were followed up for more than one year after surgery. Symptom visual analog scale (VAS), peripheral blood eosinophil percentage, serum total IgE, skin prick test (SPT), olfactory function, Lund-Kennedy score and Lund-Mackay score were all examined and analyzed in two groups before and after surgery. SPSS 17.0 was used to do data statistic analysis.Result:There was no significant difference between two groups in age, gender, complicated with allergic rhinitis and asthma (P> 0.05). However, there was significant difference between two groups in the number of patients with previous surgery (P< 0.05). Pre-operative VAS symptom score, Lund-Kennedy score and Lund-Mackay score were higher in RSS group than in FESS group. All patients were followed up for at least one year. VAS symptom score, Lund-Kennedy score and Lund-Mackay score in two groups were compared before and after surgery respectively. VAS symptom score (P< 0.01; P< 0.01), Lund-Kennedy score (P< 0.01; P< 0.01), Lund-Mackay score (P< 0.01; P< 0.01) were significantly lower after surgery. There was no significant difference in VAS symptom scores between two groups postoperatively (P> 0.05). However, Lund-Kennedy score (P< 0.01) and Lund-Mackay score (P< 0.01) were lower in RSS group postoperatively. Among patients with surgery history, Lund-Kennedy score (P< 0.01) and Lund-Mackay score (P< 0.01) were also lower in RSS group at one year follow-up. Conclusion:Radical sinus surgery was more effective in relieving symptoms and reducing inflammation of sinus, compared with functional sinus surgery, especially in refractory sinusitis patients with previous surgery.

Abstract
Objective:The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical features of different subtypes of fungal ball sinusitis. Method:Four hundred and forty-nine cases with fungal ball rhinosinusitis (FBS) were involved in this retrospective analysis. The clinical features including symptoms, signs, and imaging scans, pathological results were all collected for each patient and the patients were classified into different subtypes according to these clinical features and the follow-up treatment. Result:In this retrospective study, 449 patients who diagnosed with fungal ball sinusitis were involved. According to clinical features, these patients were divided into 5 subtypes respectively: ①Subtype 1 simple FBS: there were 299 patients in this subtype. Main symptoms were one side headache, purulent rhinorrhea, nasal obstruction. CT scans showed the classical features of FBS. ②Subtype 2 FBS with nasal polyps: there were 78 patients in this subtype. Main symptoms were bilateral or unilateral nasal obstruction, purulent rhinorrhea. Histopathologic results showed nasal polyps with acute or chronic inflammation by inflammatory cell infiltration. Eosinophils infiltration was the most common phenomenon. Postoperative therapy was as same as the treatment to chronic rhinosinusitis. ③Subtype 3 FBS with allergic rhinitis:there were 51 patients in this subtype. During the operation, infected nasal sinus mucosa with serious edema could be found, often with asubmucosa cyst. Postoperative medical therapy with antihistamines during follow-up. ④Subtype 4 FBS with purulent cyst: there were 6 cases. Main symptoms were nasal obstruction, purulent rhinorrhea and facial pain. Sinus CT scans showed that the typical features of both fungal ball sinusitis and mucous cyst. Antibiotic saline nasal irrigation should be used intraoperatively and postoperatively, other than systemic antibiotic treatment. ⑤Subtype 5 mixed type: there were 15 cases. All of these patients were diagnosed with fungal ball sinusitis with nasal polyps combined with allergic rhinitis. The clinical features of diagnosis and treatment were combination of the two types. Conclusion:According to the different clinical features, fungal ball sinusitis could be classified with five different clinical features. This classification would help to standardize the treatment, reduce the postoperative recurrence rate, and improve the prognosis.

Abstract
Our ability to predict how temperature modifies phenology at the community scale is limited by our lack of understanding of responses by functional groups of flowering plants. These responses differ among species with different life histories. We performed a reciprocal transplant experiment along four elevation gradients (e.g., 3,200, 3,400, 3,600 and 3,800 m) to investigate the effects of warming (transferred downward) and cooling (transferred upward) on plant flowering functional groups (FFGs) and community phenological sequences (i.e., seven phenological events). Warming significantly decreased early-spring-flowering (ESF) plant coverage and increased mid-summer-flowering plant (MSF) coverage, while cooling had the opposite effect. All community phenological events were advanced by warming and delayed by cooling except for the date of complete leaf-coloring, which showed the opposite response. Warming and cooling could cause greater advance or delay in early-season phenological events of the community through increased coverage of MSF species, and warming could delay late-season phenological events of the community by increased coverage of ESF species. These results suggested that coverage change of FFGs in the community induced by temperature change could mediate the responses of the community phenological events to temperature change in the future. The response of phenological events to temperature change at the species level may not be sufficient to predict phenological responses at the community-level due to phenological compensation between species in the community.

Abstract
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) discs frequently undergo degenerative changes in arthritis. However, the biomechanical properties of pathogenic discs remain to be explored. In this study, we evaluated the effects of chronic inflammation on the biomechanical properties of TMJ discs in rats. Chronic inflammation of TMJs was induced by double intra-articular injections of complete Freund's adjuvant for 5 weeks, and biomechanical properties and ultrastructure of the discs were examined by mechanical testing, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The instantaneous compressive moduli of the anterior and posterior bands of discs in inflamed TMJs were decreased significantly compared with those in the control group. The instantaneous tensile moduli of the discs of inflamed TMJs also showed significant decreases in both the anterior-posterior and mesial-lateral directions. The relaxation moduli of the discs of inflamed TMJs showed nearly the same tendency as the instantaneous moduli. The surfaces of the discs of inflamed TMJs became rough and porous due to the loss of the superficial gel-like stratum, with many collagen fibers exposed and degradation of the sub-superficial collagen fibrils. Our results suggested that chronic inflammation of TMJ could lead to deterioration of mechanical properties and alteration of disc ultrastructure, which might contribute to TMJ disc displacement.

Abstract
The mechanism by which chronic alcohol abuse induces widespread cell and tissue damage is unknown. Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) is an important inhibitor of apoptosis in many cell types, in addition to its ability to stimulate proliferation. We have demonstrated previously (J. Biol. Chem. 268:21777-21782, 1993; Lab. Invest. 71:657-662, 1994) that ethanol in low concentrations inhibits the tyrosine autophosphorylation of the IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR) and IGF-I-mediated cell proliferation. We now demonstrate that ethanol reverses the antiapoptotic action of the IGF-IR in a tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) model of apoptosis. In serum-depleted medium, IGF-I markedly protected BALB/c3T3 cells from TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis. Ethanol reversed the protective action of IGF-I, but did not enhance TNF-alpha killing in the absence of IGF-I. Half-maximal effective concentrations of ethanol were 5 to 10 mM. In the presence of 5 to 10% fetal bovine serum, TNF-alpha was cytotoxic for 3T3 cells only in the presence of ethanol. Mouse embryo fibroblasts with targeted knockout of the IGF-IR were completely insensitive to ethanol, in contrast with the ethanol-induced potentiation of apoptosis in wild-type cells. These results indicate that ethanol directly interacts with cellular factors that inhibit apoptosis and could provide a novel mechanism for ethanol-induced cytotoxicity in general.

Abstract
Although intrahepatic bile duct injury following bone marrow transplantation is considered to be one feature of graft-versus-host disease, its developmental mechanism has not been clarified. In order to elucidate this aspect, an immunohistochemical study of the liver following human allogeneic bone marrow transplantation was made. Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (Tc) and natural killer cells (NK) were found in contact with intrahepatic bile duct epithelial cells showing degeneration and necrotic changes. These findings suggested a cytotoxic effect of these cells on bile duct epithelial cells. Abnormal expression of HLA class II (DR) antigen was recognized in intrahepatic bile duct epithelial cells following bone marrow transplantation. Cell injury was prominent in cells with weak DR antigen expression, whereas the cells demonstrating conspicuous expression appeared almost normal. There results suggest that abnormal expression of DR antigen plays an important role in the development of GVHD of the intrahepatic bile duct.
