    Abstract Backgroud: Pneumatosis in the cervical fascial space is a common imaging manifestation of cervical necrotizing fasciitis. At present, although there are some literature reports on pneumatosis in the cervical necrotizing fasciitis, there are few comparative reports.
    Objective: To compare the imaging findings of necrotizing fasciitis of the neck and other cervical space infections, and explore the relationship between pneumatosis in cervical fascial space and necrotizing fasciitis of the neck.
    Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 56 cases of cervical fascia space infection in our department from May 2015 to March 2021, including 22 cases of necrotizing fasciitis and 34 cases of non-necrotizing fasciitis. 22 cases underwent incision, debridement and catheter drainage in the necrotizing fasciitis group. 26 cases underwent incision, debridement and catheter drainage, and 8 cases underwent ultrasound-guided puncture biopsy and catheter drainage in the non-necrotizing fasciitis group. All cases were confirmed by operation or pathological biopsy and took purulent secretions for bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test during or after operation. All cases were examined by neck CT or MRI before operation. The previous history of surgical incision or puncture and the rupture of cervical space infection were excluded.
    Results: In 22 cases of necrotizing fasciitis, there were 19 cases had air accumulation in the fascial space (86.4%); In 34 cases of non necrotizing fasciitis, 2 cases had air accumulation in the fascial space (5.9%). There was significant difference between the two groups (χ
    Conclusions and significance: The pneumatosis of necrotizing fasciitis in the neck is dramatically more than that of other infectious diseases. It is suggested that pneumatosis in cervical fascial space is of great significance in the diagnosis of cervical necrosis, the gas production of bacteria may be closely related to the pathogenesis and development of necrotizing fasciitis of the neck, and early measures to block the generation and dissemination of gas is of great significance for treatment.

    Abstract Atypical Ramsay-Hunt syndrome is caused by varicella zoster viruses (VZV), without herpes, herpes is not around the ear, or posterior cranial nerve palsy is the first clinical manifestation. In this case, a 60-year-old male patient with VZV invades the branches of the vagus nerve alone. The initial symptoms were in the pharynx and larynx, which presented as mucosal ulcers and voice disorders. The ear symptoms were only otalgia and auricular herpes, without deafness, tinnitus, or peripheral facial palsy. Herpes and ulcers healed with medication, but voice disorders caused by vocal cord paralysis did not return. Voice correction treatment has been implemented to help restore the movement and closure of the vocal cords, with ultimately good results. After voice correction treatment, the patient recovered without residual nerve palsy complications. Voice correction treatment has been shown to be potentially effective and promising in shortening the recovery period and improving the recovery rate for vocal cord paralysis caused by viral infection.

    Abstract Necroptosis is generally considered as an inflammatory cell death form. The core regulators of necroptotic signaling are receptor‐interacting serine–threonine protein kinases 1 (RIPK1) and RIPK3, and the executioner, mixed lineage kinase domain‐like pseudokinase (MLKL). Evidence demonstrates that necroptosis contributes profoundly to inflammatory respiratory diseases that are common public health problem. Necroptosis occurs in nearly all pulmonary cell types in the settings of inflammatory respiratory diseases. The influence of necroptosis on cells varies depending upon the type of cells, tissues, organs, etc., which is an important factor to consider. Thus, in this review, we briefly summarize the current state of knowledge regarding the biology of necroptosis, and focus on the key molecular mechanisms that define the necroptosis status of specific cell types in inflammatory respiratory diseases. We also discuss the clinical potential of small molecular inhibitors of necroptosis in treating inflammatory respiratory diseases, and describe the pathological processes that engage cross talk between necroptosis and other cell death pathways in the context of respiratory inflammation. The rapid advancement of single‐cell technologies will help understand the key mechanisms underlying cell type‐specific necroptosis that are critical to effectively treat pathogenic lung infections and inflammatory respiratory diseases.

    Abstract Objective: The purpose of this study is to study the in-vitro effects of multitarget inhibitor anlotinib on hypopharyngeal cancer cell proliferation and cell migration, and the underlying mechanism, which will provide new drug choices for hypopharyngeal cancer treatment.
    Methods: The Hypopharyngeal cancer Fadu cells were treated with anlotinib at a concentration of 0, 5, and 10 μmoL/L, respectively. Cell counting kit-8 and the colony-forming assay were used to detect the inhibition of cell proliferation. Wound-healing assay and transwell assay were used to detect the migration and invasion ability of cells. Flow cytometry was used to detect the effects of anlotinib on cell cycle and apoptosis. RT-qPCR and Western blot were used to measure gene expression levels.
    Results: CCK-8 and colony-forming assay showed that anlotinib could significantly inhibit cell proliferative activity. Wound-healing assay and transwell assay showed that anlotinib could inhibit cell migration and scratch. These results showed that anlotinib has obvious antitumor activity. Flow cell cycle experiment showed that anlotinib could promote Fadu cell apoptosis and block the G2/M phase for inhibiting cell proliferation. In addition, anlotinib decreased the expression of HIF-1α.
    Conclusions: Anlotinib has an excellent suppressing effect on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of hypopharyngeal cancer Fadu cells in-vitro. Moreover, it can play an anti-tumor role through blocking cell cycle G2/M and promoting apoptosis, which may be related to the decrease of HIF-1a expression. Our study would provide a potential treatment method for patients with hypopharyngeal cancer.
    Level of evidence: Level 3.

    Abstract Objective: To study the predictive value of systemic immune index (SII) and systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) in the prognosis of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
    Methods: Two researchers independently searched PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, and Web of Science databases (until March 18, 2022) for all studies on SII, SIRI, and prognosis in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Quality assessment of included studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). In addition, a bivariate mixed-effects model was used to explore predictive value.
    Results: A total of 9 studies that satisfied the requirements were included, involving, 3187 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The results of the meta-analysis showed that SII could be an independent predictor of OS (HR=1.78, 95%CI [1.44-2.20], Z=5.28, P<0.05), and SII could also be an independent predictor of PFS (HR=1.66, 95%CI [1.36-2.03], Z=4.94, P<0.05). In addition, SIRI could also serve as an independent predictor of OS (HR=2.88, 95%CI [1.97-4.19], Z=5.51, P<0.05). The ROC area was 0.63, the sensitivity was 0.68 (95%CI [0.55-0.78]), and the specificity was 0.55 (95%CI [0.47-0.62]), all of which indicated that SII had a certain predictive value for OS.
    Conclusion: SII and SIRI can be used as independent predictors to predict the prognosis and survival status of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma and have certain predictive accuracy. Therefore, SII and SIRI should be considered in studies that update survival risk assessment systems.

    Abstract Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) can exert their immunosuppressive effects by secreting various effectors that are involved in the regulation of tumor-infiltrating immune cells as well as other immune components in the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), thereby promoting tumorigenesis, progression, metastasis, and drug resistance. Although a large number of studies suggest that CAF plays a key regulatory role in the development of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), there are limited studies on the relevance of CAF to the prognosis of HNSCC. In this study, we identified a prognostic signature containing eight CAF related genes for HNSCC by univariate Cox analysis, lasso regression, stepwise regression, and multivariate Cox analysis. Our validation in primary cultures of CAFs from human HNSCC and four human head and neck squamous carcinoma cell lines confirmed that these eight genes are indeed characteristic markers of CAFs. Immune cell infiltration differences analysis between high-risk and low-risk groups according to the eight CAF-related genes signature hinted at CAF regulatory roles in the TIME, further revealing its potential role on prognosis. The signature of the eight CAF-related genes was validated in different independent validation cohorts and all showed that it was a valid marker for prognosis. The significantly higher overall survival in the low-risk group compared to the high-risk group was confirmed by Kaplan-Meier analysis, suggesting that the signature of CAF-related genes can be used as a non-invasive predictive tool for HNSCC prognosis. The low-risk group had significantly higher levels of tumor-killing immune cell infiltration, as confirmed by CIBERSORT analysis, such as CD8⁺ T cells, follicular helper T cells, and Dendritic cells (DC) in the low-risk group. In contrast, the level of infiltration of pro-tumor cells such as M0 macrophages and activated Mast cells (MCs) was lower. It is crucial to delve into the complex mechanisms between CAFs and immune cells to find potential regulatory targets and may provide new evidence for subsequently targeted immunotherapy. These results suggest that the signature of the eight CAF-related genes is a powerful indicator for the assessment of the TIME of HNSCC. It may provide a new and reliable potential indicator for clinicians to predict the prognosis of HNSCC, which may be used to guide treatment and clinical decision-making in HNSCC patients. Meanwhile, CAF-related genes are expected to become tumor biomarkers and effective targets for HNSCC.

    Abstract Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), the most common head and neck malignant tumor, with only monotherapy, is characterized by poor prognosis, and low 5-year survival rate. Due to the lack of therapeutic targets, the targeted drugs for HNSCC are rare. Therefore, exploring the regulation mechanism of HNSCC and identifying effective therapeutic targets will be beneficial to its treatment of. Circular RNA (CircRNA) is a class of RNA molecules with a circular structure, which is widely expressed in human body. CircRNAs regulate gene expression by exerting the function as a miRNA sponge, thereby mediating the occurrence and development of HNSCC cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion, and other processes. In addition, circRNAs are also involved in the regulation of tumor sensitivity to chemical drugs and other biological functions. In this review, we systematically listed the functions of circRNAs and explored the regulatory mechanisms of circRNAs in HNSCC from the aspects of tumor growth, cell death, angiogenesis, tumor invasion and metastasis, tumor stem cell regulation, tumor drug resistance, immune escape, and tumor microenvironment. It will assist us in discovering new diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets, while encourage new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of HNSCC.
