Objective: To explore the prevention of complications during the the paralaryngeal space (PPS) neoplasms surgery.
Method: A retrospect study was carried out from 41 patients, suffering from paralaryngeal space neoplasms and recerving surgery from 1990 to 2002. The surgical procedures included oral approach in 6 cases, parotid approach in 6 cases, cervical approach in 25 cases, cervical approach with mandibular swing in 2 cases and lateral skull-base approach 2 in cases. Eight cases got the tracheodectomy during the operations. The tumor in 37 cases were resected throughly, except for 4 cases with partial resection.
Result: The patients were followed up for 11 months to 6 years. The surgical complications consists of surgical cavity infections in 2 cases, a massive bleeding in 1 case with huge nerve sheath tumor and permanent nerves damage in 7 cases, including Horner's syndrome (2 cases) and nerves damage (5 cases), such as VII, IX, X and XI. Six cases relapsed: 1 case with benign tumor through oral approach and 5 cases with malignant neoplasms.
Conclusion: Familiarity with PPS anatomy, preoperational evaluation in detail, proper surgery approach and perfect treatment during the operation are vital important to avoid the complications in PPS neoplasms.

Introduction: Sarcomas are rare cancers originating from mesenchymal tissues, manifesting in diverse anatomical locations, but notably in connective tissue, muscles and the skeleton. Thoracic sarcomas present a unique diagnostic and surgical challenge attributable to their rarity and pathoanatomy. Standard practice currently comprises wide surgical excision, often accompanied by adjuvant chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy.

Syphilis, a chronic infection caused by Treponema pallidum, is experiencing a global resurgence, posing significant public health challenges. This study examined the escalating trends of syphilis in the United States, China, and some other countries highlighting the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, changes in sexual behavior, coinfection with the other infectious diseases such as AIDs, and the role of public health funding. The analysis revealed a stark increase in syphilis cases, particularly among high-risk groups such as men who have sex with men (MSM).

Aneurysms of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) account for up to 40% of all unruptured intracranial aneurysms [1-3] and 14% to 20% of ruptured ones. [4-5] Giant MCA aneurysms are rare, representing 10% of cases [6], but carry an aggressive natural history, with the UCAS Japan study reporting an annual rupture rate of ∼ 17%. [7].
