[Selected immunological studies of chronic purulent and hypertrophic otolaryngological diseases].

The aim of this work was the comparison of selected immunological parameters in patients with chronic purulent and hypertrophic otorhinolaryngological diseases who were to be operated on. The patients were divided into two groups: 1-31 patients aged 17-58 with chronic purulent otorhinolaryngological diseases. The following immunological parameters were carried out: rheumatoid factor (RF), immunoglobulins IgG, IgM, IgA, proteinogram including the level of albumin, globulin alpha1, alpha2, beta and gamma. In chronic purulent otorhinolaryngological diseases the characteristic features are the reduction of the level of globulin alpha1 (67.7%) and gamma (35.5%), while in hypertrophic cases globulin alpha1, and beta--91.7% each.

[The evaluation of granulocyte function before and after surgical treatment in patients with chronic inflammation of the middle ear and palatine tonsils].

The aim examinations was the evaluation of granulocytes (PMNL) pre- and postsurgical treatment in patients with chronic inflammation of middle ear and palatine tonsils. The examined 40 persons and divided into three groups: I--18 patients with chronic inflammation of middle ear, II--10 ones with chronic tonsillitis and III--12 healthy persons. There were evaluated: "in vivo" and "in vitro" migration, bactericidal index and absorption of S. aureus labeled 14C isotope (phagocytic index) in the own modification. Preoperative treatment in patients with chronic inflammation of middle ear and palatine tonsils in comparison to the healthy were noticed: characteristic increase of the migration area, the MIF liberation and the phagocytic index, decrease in the bactericidal index (but more in group II). After a year postsurgical treatment the function of granulocytes in patients of group II was more similar to the healthy than in group I.

[Clinical studies of Olbas oil tolerance and its effect on nasal mucosa in healthy volunteers].

The aim of the study was the clinical examinations of the tolerance and effect of Olbas oil on nasal mucosa in healthy volunteers during permanent 4 weeks administration. 23 healthy volunteers both sexes in the age between 20-50 were investigated. This investigations consisted of: history data, general and otorhinolaryngological examination, with particular evaluation of nasal mucosa, anterior rhinomanometry, olfactometry, saccharin translocation time, microbiological cultures, histamine nasal provocation test. Besides, each patient has follow up self evaluating chart of symptoms and adverse effect from the eyes, nose, pharynx and others. All the examined persons showed a very good tolerance of Olbas oil after 28 days of inhalation.

[Aeroacoustic and pneumotachometric studies in the evaluation of vicarious voice in laryngectomy patients].

The aim the study was showed some spirometric and aerodynamic parameters of the respiratory system and of vicarious voice at laryngectomized patients, which were performed in plethysmographic cabin and by using of pneumotachometer. Clinical material stated 20 laryngectomized men, aged 45-77 years, who were divided into two groups (by Pruszewicz): A-well or very well speaking and B-bad speaking. The obtained results showed that laryngectomized well or very well speaking made bigger work of the respiratory system during vicarious voice than bad speaking ones. The well and very well speaking patients used twice (in case of consonants) and three times (in case of vowels) the volume of oesophageal-throat's air greater than bad speaking patients. Aerodynamic examinations in plethysmographic cabin allows for monitoring of vicarious voice at laryngectomized after operation and qualification some of ones for voice prosthetization in the aim of voice amplification.

[Spirometric examinations at laryngectomized patients and healthy subjects].

Spirometric studies were conducted at 40 patients, divided into on basic group (20 laryngectomized men, aged 48-77 years) and comparative group (20 healthy men, aged 20-57 years). The results obtained showed that the mean value of airways resistance was about 5-times higher than at healthy subjects. The large resistance of airways influence for considerable decreasing of the maximum ventilation volume. Tracheitis and bronchitis chronic in cause of increase resistance of airways at laryngectomized patients and it can influence for quality and understanding of vicarious voice.

[Administration of the cervical torsion test by the examination of Doppler's blood flows in vertebral arteries and basilar artery in patients with degenerative cervical spine changes].

Using the neck rotation test during examination of Doppler's blood flows in vertebral arteries and basilar artery, the authors examined 60 subjects aged 16-60 years, including 20 healthy ones and 40 with cervical spondylarthrosis. The Transpect-TCD was used. Half the patients with cervical spine changes had also receptive hearing damage of low degree. The study demonstrated that neck rotation affected of patological Doppler's blood flows in one or in both vertebral arteries at 50% patients with cervical spondylarthrosis, but without clinical symptoms, and at 70% patients with cervical spondylarthrosis and clinical symptoms. The neck rotation test can have diagnostic significance by examination of sufficiency in vertebrobasilar system, or qualitative significance to microsurgical treatment.

[Diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties in tumors of neck and pharynx encountered in clinical cases].

The authors show case of lateral cervical cyst and carcinoma of the tonsil in woman 50 years, paying attention to large diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties. After operation of the lateral cervical cyst on the left side, metastasis of tumor followed, which was operated (after negative result of the thin-needle biopsy method) and histopathological examination of the tumor didn't prove atypical cells. In a few month after operation there followed tumorous infiltration in region angle of mandibula and in tonsillar region on the side and performed the thin-needle biopsy method showed planoepithelial carcinoma of the tonsil with transitional cells, which infiltrated the lingua, fundus of the oris and lymphonodes of the neck. Next the patient was sent to further treatment in the Oncological Hospital in Lodz. In connexion with advanced of the carcinoma, the using treatment (radiotherapy Co--60 and chemotherapy) was only the palliative treatment and prolongated life of the patient about 3 years.
