These results were statisticly highly significant (p < 0.01). Our research clearly showed that anti-EA IgA EBV marker could be useful in diagnosing, differential diagnosing and prognosing as well.
Malignant tumors of nasopharyngeal epithelium differ clinically depending on the course of disease and applied therapy. They are presented in regard to the sex, age, smoking habits, alcohol usage and nutrition factors. Various studies already showed various etiological-causal links with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). This leads to diversity of various morphological and histological types of diseases belonging to various classifications. In this work we presented 60 diagnosed and treated cases with malignant tumor of nasopharyngeal epithelium in the Institute for Otorynolaringology and maxillofacial surgery of Clinical Center of Serbia. All of them were pato-histologicaly examined and 24 of them received serological examination in regard to the concept of association between malignant epithelial tumour and EBV. An important correlation between histopathology and serology was found. Finally, the terminology used by WHO classification is not optimal for further histological determination of nasopharyngeal malignancy; therefore we recommend the French classification of C. Micheaua.
From September 2001. to February 2004. in the Institute for ENT and Maxillofacial Surgery were investigated 107 patients with the inflammatory diseases of the maxillary sinuses. Patients with sinusitis were separated into group of patients with rhinogenic (72) and patients with odontogenic maxillary sinusitis (35). We found that the etiology of odontogenic sinusitis was mostly artificial caused after some dental surgery (88%), what is totally opposite to the spontaneous etiology of rhinogenic sinusitis. Surgical treatment of rhinogenic sinusitis mostly was endonasal polypectomy with operation by Caldwell-Luc or FESS. Odontogenic sinusitises were mostly treated by FESS and surgical "closing" of oral-antral fistula by local mucogingival flap (51%).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
