Introduction: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a prevalent and lethal malignancy, accounting for 95% of head and neck cancers. Tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activating protein ZETA (14-3-3ζ) is central to various signalling pathways and is pivotal in tumour progression.
Methods: Cancerous and corresponding non-cancerous tissue samples were collected from five patients diagnosed with HNSCC. circRNA and mRNA expression profiles were analyzed using high-throughput sequencing techniques. Potential circRNA-microRNA (miRNA)-mRNA interactions were predicted using bioinformatics tools.
Results: The study found that CircRNA_036186 regulates the expression of 14-3-3ζ in HNSCC through miR-193b-5p.
Discussion: These findings suggest that CircRNA_036186 has the potential to be a biomarker and therapeutic target for HNSCC and provide some theoretical basis for further research on the role of circRNA in HNSCC.

An Oropharyngeal Accessory Tragus in a Young Patient With Conductive Hearing Loss.
Clin Case Rep
January 2025
Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) San Francisco California USA.
In this report, we describe the first reported case of an oropharyngeal accessory tragus in a 20-year-old female presenting with moderate to severe left-sided conductive hearing loss. This case shares rare developmental anomalies to consider when diagnosing oropharyngeal masses that highlight the intricate embryological development of the head and neck region.

Thus, templating methods typically use size of the intact contralateral hip to estimate length. Common reference points include the distance from the lesser trochanter to the center of the femoral head (LTC) and femoral head diameter (FHD).

The transcriptional regulatory factors binding to the polymorphic site C-1888T in the promoter region of the palate, lung, and nasal epithelium clone (PLUNC) gene were identified to investigate whether the C-1888T polymorphic site affects the transcriptional regulation and function of PLUNC gene. Three genotypes of C-1888T polymorphic locus were screened from established nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells, and the mRNA expression levels of PLUNC gene in different genotypes were detected. The respective transcription factors that were more likely to bind with A or G in SNP were predicted by biological information and preliminarily verified in vitro by gel electrophoresis migration rate analysis.

Department of Anaesthesiology, Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan.
Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in the head and neck present significant challenges due to airway management complexities and hemorrhage risks. This case report describes a 15-year-old female with a congenital facial AVM causing dyspnea and obstructive symptoms. The patient required angioembolization of the AVM, but many hospitals deferred the procedure due to the anticipated difficult airway and severe bleeding risks.
