Conclusion: The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation is rare in patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) in China.

Objective: To determine the incidence of EGFR mutations in patients with LSCC who underwent surgical resection in mainland China.

Methods: xTAG technology was used to detect the EGFR exon 19, exon 20, and exon 21 mutations in 132 patients with LSCC who underwent surgical treatment in our hospital from 2010 to 2013.

Background: This study explores effects of budesonide on the proliferation of nasal polyp epithelial cells and expression of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) alpha in nasal polyp epithelial cells.

Methods: Primary cultured, purified, and identified the epithelial cells collected from nasal polyps. The proliferation of nasal polyp epithelial cells was examined by a cell counting kit, and expression of GR-alpha mRNA in nasal polyp epithelial cells was examined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, after training nasal polyp epithelial cells in budesonide solution.

Conclusion: The overexpression of HMGA1 or Ezrin may contribute to the carcinogenesis, development, and metastasis of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC).

Objective: To investigate the expression of HMGA1 and Ezrin in LSCC and analyze their clinical significance.

Methods: The expression of HMGA1 and Ezrin was analyzed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in 50 cases of LSCC.
