Purpose: The Dysphonia Severity Index (DSI) is an objective multiparameter index of voice quality that measures and describes overall voice quality. Some studies have suggested that the reliability of devices for DSI measurement should be examined. We explored the feasibility of DSI measurements using the Dr.

Studies indicate that DSI may be influenced by vocal pathology, age and geographical factors, whereas gender does not significantly affect DSI. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of gender and age on the DSI and related parameters in a Shanghainese population.

Background: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer with an increasing incidence worldwide that imposes a considerable burden on public health. C-X-C chemokine receptor (CXCR4) plays a vital role in initiation, progression and metastasis of several types of cancers. The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression and clinical significance of CXCR4 in BCC.

Article Synopsis
- Paclitaxel is effective for treating head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), but about 20-40% of patients don't respond, making it crucial to identify biomarkers for improving treatment outcomes in hypopharynx cancer (HPC).
- In this study, Fadu cells were treated with low doses of paclitaxel, leading to an analysis of differentially expressed mRNAs and microRNAs (miRs), revealing key pathways associated with tumor growth and resistance to chemotherapy.
- Results indicated that pathways related to cholesterol biosynthesis, complement system, interferon, and mTOR signaling were predominantly affected, suggesting that combining mTOR inhibitors with paclitaxel could be more effective than using either treatment alone.

Objective: To explore the new classification and marking method for traumatic deviated nose treated by septo-rhinoplasty.
Methods: Twenty-six selected cases of traumatic deviated nose were analysed. There were 5 C-type cases, 12 O-type cases and 9 S-type cases.
