Abstract
BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding regulatory molecules 18-25 nucleotides in length that act as post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression. MiRNAs affect various biological processes including carcinogenesis. Deregulation of miRNAa expression has been described in a variety of tumors including papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of selected miRNAs in PTC and find associations between miRNA expression and the BRAF (V600E) mutation. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study group comprised a total of 62 patients with surgically treated PTC. The control group consisted of 30 patients with nodular goitre that were surgically treated in the same time period. The expression status of miR-146b, miR-181a, miR-187, miR-221 and miR-222 was determined using quantitative real-time PCR. BRAF mutation analysis was performed by PCR with reverse hybridization. RESULTS MiR-146b, miR-181a, miR-187, miR-221 and miR-222 were up-regulated in PTC compared to normal thyroid gland tissue of the same patient. MiR-146b, miR-187, miR-221 and miR-222 were also up-regulated in PTC compared to nodular goitre. The recurrent tumors were statistically significantly associated with up-regulation of miR-221. The mutation V600E of BRAF gene was significantly associated with up-regulation of miR-146b and with down-regulation of miR-187. CONCLUSION Over-expression of selected miRNAs in PTC compared to normal thyroid gland tissue and nodular goitre was found. Moreover, miR-221 may serve as a prognostic marker as its over-expression was significantly associated with recurrent tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM The aim of this study was to analyze the pretreatment cytokeratin serum levels in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) by three assays in relation to selected clinicopathological characteristics in an effort to find diagnostic/prognostic biomarkers for HNSCC and determine the best assay. PATIENTS AND METHODS In total, 46 patients with HNSCC with different subsite (oropharyngeal-21 cases, hypopharyngeal-4 and laryngeal-21) were included in this prospective study. MonoTotal, Cyfra 21-1, and TPS radioimmunoassay kits were used to analyze cytokeratin fragments serum levels. RESULTS Statistically significant differences in serum levels of TPS and Cyfra 21-1 were found between low (stage I-II)- and high-stage (stage III-IV) tumors (p=0.0057; p=0.0138 respectively). Cyfra21-1 assay showed significant differences between tumors of different sites with prominent elevation being found in oropharyngeal carcinomas and between patients with p16 positive and p16 negative HNSCC (p=0.0242), being elevated in p16 positive tumors. CONCLUSION The present study is the first to compare cytokeratin serum levels between various subgroups of HNSCC using three different assays. Cyfra 21-1 seems to be the most useful for clinical practice. The relation between elevated Cyfra 21-1 serum levels and p16 expression requires further investigation.

Abstract
The aim of this study was a detailed clinicopathological investigation of sinonasal NUT midline carcinoma (NMC), including analysis of DNA methylation and microRNA (miRNA) expression. Three (5%) cases of NMC were detected among 56 sinonasal carcinomas using immunohistochemical screening and confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization. The series comprised 2 males and 1 female, aged 46, 60, and 65 years. Two tumors arose in the nasal cavity and one in the maxillary sinus. The neoplasms were staged pT1, pT3, and pT4a (all cN0M0). All patients were treated by radical resection with adjuvant radiotherapy. Two patients died 3 and 8 months after operation, but one patient (pT1 stage; R0 resection) experienced no evidence of disease at 108 months. Microscopically, all tumors consisted of infiltrating nests of polygonal cells with vesicular nuclei, prominent nucleoli and basophilic cytoplasm. Abrupt keratinization was present in only one case. Immunohistochemically, there was a diffuse expression of cytokeratin (CK) cocktail, CK7, p40, p63, and SMARCB1/INI1. All NMCs tested negative for EBV and HPV infection. Two NMCs showed methylation of RASSF1 gene. All other genes (APC, ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2, CADM1, CASP8, CD44, CDH13, CDKN1B, CDKN2A, CDKN2B, CHFR, DAPK1, ESR1, FHIT, GSTP1, HIC1, KLLN, MLH1a, MLH1b, RARB, TIMP3, and VHL) were unmethylated. All NMCs showed upregulation of miR-9 and downregulation of miR-99a and miR-145 and two cases featured also upregulation of miR-21, miR-143, and miR-484. In summary, we described three cases of sinonasal NMCs with novel findings on DNA methylation and miRNA expression, which might be important for new therapeutic strategies in the future.

Abstract
A standard procedure for continuous intraoperative monitoring of the integrity of the corticospinal tracts by eliciting muscle responses is the electric stimulation mapping (ESM). However, standard ESM protocols are ineffective in 20% of young children. We have developed a novel, highly efficient paradigm consisting of short-time burst (30 ms) of high frequency (500 Hz) and high peak current (≤100 mA), which may cause local tissue overheating. The presented safety control study was therefore designed. The infrared thermography camera captured to-be-resected cortex of 13 patients in vivo during ESM. Thermograms were image processed to reveal discrete ESM thermal effect of currents from 10 to 100 mA. Peak 100 mA currents induced a maximal increase in temperature of 3.1 °C, 1.23±0.72 °C in average. The warming correlated with stimulating electrode resistance ( ). The measurement uncertainty was estimated ± 1.01 ºC for the most skeptical conditions. The histopathological evaluation of stimulated tissue (performed in all cases) did not show any destructive changes. Our study demonstrates the ability of the thermographic camera to measure the discrete thermal effect of the ESM. The results provide evidence for the safety of the proposed protocol for full range currents with minimal risk of brain tissue damage.

Abstract
CONCLUSION Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) more frequently suffer from nasal symptoms as well as upper respiratory tract obstruction compared with the healthy population. OBJECTIVE The relationship between chronic rhinosinusitis and bronchial asthma has been studied in detail in the past. In recent years, a limited number of authors have also studied involvement of the nose and paranasal sinuses in patients with COPD. METHODS This was an observational cross-sectional study with subsequent prospective assessment; 42 patients with COPD were included. The control group consisted of 12 healthy subjects. All patients with a history of rhinitis or rhinosinusitis and patients with previous surgery of the nose and sinuses were excluded from the study. Clinical variables evaluated were nasal symptoms (SNAQ-11 questionnaire), nasal endoscopy, nasal patency (active rhinomanometry), and computed tomography of paranasal sinuses. RESULTS In the COPD group, there was a higher occurrence of nasal symptoms and pathological findings on nasal endoscopy compared with the control group. The overall nasal airflow was higher in the control group (compared with COPD patients) and the overall nasal resistance was higher in the COPD group (compared with controls). Pathological opacity of one or more sinuses was confirmed in 38% of COPD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM MicroRNAs (miRs) are non-coding RNA molecules regulating diverse cellular processes essential in carcinogenesis. Little is known regarding miRs in head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC). The aim of the present study was to investigate miRs in relation to the clinico pathological features of site-specific HNSCC. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study comprised of 51 patients with HNSCC (23 oropharyngeal, 24 laryngeal and 4 hypopharyngeal carcinomas). Total RNA was extracted from tumor tissue and normal squamous epithelium using the miRNeasy FFPE Kit. A quantitative estimation of let-7a, miR-21, miR-200c, miR-34a, miR-375 was performed by a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method using the TagMan® MicroRNA assay. Additionally, p16 expression was detected by immuno histo chemistry. RESULTS Significant differences of let-7a, miR-200c, miR-34a levels between oropharyngeal and laryngeal cancers were found (p<0.05). Compared to non-neoplastic tissues, miR-21, miR-200c, miR-34a were up-regulated and miR-375 was down-regulated in tumors of all sites. MiR-34a tumor levels significantly correlated with oropharyngeal origin (p=0.0284) and p16 positivity (p=0.0218). CONCLUSION The microRNA profile seems to play a potential role in the pathobiology of oropharyngeal and laryngeal HNSCC. Up-regulation of miR34a in p16-positive oropharyngeal cancer has not been so far described and additional studies are warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) includes tumors of various anatomical sites sharing common etiological factors. Serum levels of MMP1, MMP2, and MMP9 were analyzed in patients with oropharyngeal, laryngeal, and hypopharyngeal carcinomas in an effort to elucidate the pathobiology and in order to find useful biomarkers of site-specific HNSCC. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study group comprised of 46 patients with HNSCC (21 with oropharyngeal, 21 with laryngeal and 4 with hypopharyngeal cancer). Serum levels of MMP1, -2, and -9 were determined by the MAGPIX multiplex method. P16 protein was detected by immunohistochemistry. Serum levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) were correlated with clinicopathological features of carcinomas and were compared with respect to tumor site. RESULTS Significant correlations were confirmed between p16 positivity and oropharyngeal cancer, MMP1 and p16 positivity, and recurrence and smoking. Statistically significant differences in serum levels of MMPs between cancer of different locations were not found. CONCLUSION MMP1 expression is significantly affected by smoking habit and by p16 and might mediate etiopathogenetical process in cancerogenesis of HNSCC. Our pilot study did not establish any utility of MMP1, -2, or -9 in clinical practice as diagnostic/prognostic markers.

Abstract
The goal of the study was to find out the risk factors for the development of mediastinitis in patients with deep neck infections (DNI) and describe the differences in symptoms and clinical image between uncomplicated DNI and infections with mediastinal spread. Our study represents the retrospective analysis of 634 patients with DNI. The file was divided into two groups. There were 619 patients (97.6%) in the first group who had an uncomplicated course of DNI without spread of infection into mediastinum (DNI group). The second group included 15 patients (2.4%) with descending mediastinitis as a complication of DNI (mediastinitis group). The most frequent comorbidities were cardiac and pulmonary diseases, which were more frequent in the mediastinitis group comparing to DNI group. Dental origin of the infection was more frequent in DNI group than in the mediastinitis group. On the other hand, tonsillar origin of the infection was more frequent in the mediastinitis group than in DNI group. In both mediastinitis and DNI groups, the typical presenting symptoms were pain, oedema and dysphagia. Furthermore, dysphagia, dyspnoea, dysphonia and restriction of neck movements were more significant in the mediastinitis group than in DNI group. The incidence of airway obstruction, sepsis, pneumonia and death was significantly higher in the mediastinitis group than in DNI group. Due to our results, the predisposing factors for mediastinal extension of DNI are cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. Mediastinitis is associated with higher morbidity and mortality than DNI. The most common complications are airway obstruction, pneumonia and sepsis.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the biologic importance and prognostic significance of selected clinicopathological parameters in patients with oral (OSCC) and oropharyngeal (OPSCC) squamous cell carcinoma, with emphasis on smoking, protein p16(INK4a) (p16) expression, and human papillomavirus (HPV) status.The study sample consisted of 48 patients with OSCC and 44 patients with OPSCC. Half of the patients were nonsmokers and the other half were gender-, age- and tumor localization-matched smokers. p16 expression was detected in 17/48 (35 %) OSCCs and in 36/44 (82 %) OPSCCs and HPV DNA was present in 7/48 (15 %) OSCCs and in 35/44 (80 %) OPSCCs. The sensitivity and specificity of p16 expression for HPV DNA presence were 0.74 and 0.88, respectively. The OPSCCs were more frequently basaloid (p < 0.001) while the OSCCs were more frequently conventional (p < 0.000001). The OSCCs were more likely to recur locally and to be the cause of death (p = 0.009 in both parameters).The HPV-positive tumors were more frequently localized in oropharynx, were basaloid SCCs and were p16- and HPV-positive (p < 0.000001 in all 4 parameters). The HPV-negative tumors were more frequently localized in oral cavity (p < 0.000001), more frequently asociated with local, regional and locoregional recurence (p = 0.011, p = 0.019 and p = 0.030, respectively) and with tumor-related death (p = 0.003). There was no significant difference with regard to smoking history (p > 0.05). The survival of patients with HPV-positive tumors was significantly longer (median 112 months; 95% CI 54 - 112 months) than that of patients with HPV-negative tumors (median 17 months; 95% CI 12 - 39 months) (p < 0.001). The HPV status of OSCC/OPSCC is an important biological and prognostic parameter and should be examined in all cases, using PCR or immunohistochemical detection of surrogate marker p16.

Abstract
AIMS Chronic sclerosing sialadenitis (CSS) has been proposed recently to be a member of the group of IgG4-related diseases in Japanese and American series. The aim of our study was to validate these results in a cohort of European patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Our CSS series included four females and two males, aged 32-76 years, all presenting with unilateral swelling of submandibular gland. Microscopically, all CSS-cases showed similar morphology with preservation of lobular architecture accentuated by cellular fibrous bands, dense lymphoplasmacytic inflammation and varied acinar atrophy. Ductal lymphocytes were detected in three cases. In five cases, the presence of intraductal secretory material accompanied by parenchymal neutrophils was observed. Obliterative phlebitis was seen in three cases. The inflammatory infiltrate was composed of T and B lymphocytes and polyclonal plasma cells. The median number of IgG-positive plasma cells per high-power field (HPF) was 157; median number of IgG4-positive plasma cells per HPF was 133. Median value of the IgG4:IgG ratio was 0.84. CONCLUSIONS This is the first European series to demonstrate that CSS belongs to the family of IgG4-related disease. Unlike previous studies, in CSS we found rarely described ductal lymphocytes and parenchymal neutrophils. CSS displays consistent morphology with increased numbers of IgG4-positive plasma cells, and should be regarded as a member of the IgG4-related disease group.

Abstract
CONCLUSION This study demonstrates morphological changes in the nasal mucosa as a consequence of functional changes of the nasal cavity after total laryngectomy (TLE). OBJECTIVE Observation of the changes of the nasal mucosa in patients after TLE. PATIENTS AND METHODS A cohort observational study contained 30 patients after TLE. These patients underwent nasal endoscopy and cytological and microbiological examination of the nasal mucosa. The control group comprised 30 patients. RESULTS In patients who underwent TLE, morphological changes occurred in the nasal mucosa. The hyperplasia of the cells in the basal zone was the most remarkable change after TLE. The difference was statistically significant (p=0.0002) in comparison with the control group. No statistically significant difference was shown in the incidence of squamous cell metaplasia. The inflammatory changes in the nasal mucosa were found in only 10% of patients after TLE; in comparison with the control group the statistically significant decrease was proven (p=0.003). The presence of bacteria in the nasal mucosa without any signs of inflammation was demonstrated in 27% of the patients who underwent TLE. That finding was not seen in the control group. The statistically significant difference was demonstrated (p=0.0046).

Abstract
Tumor-to-tumor metastasis is an exceedingly rare event with only about 100 cases reported in the English written literature. We report two cases of a 65-year-old man with duplicity of colonic and lung adenocarcinomas who presented with swelling of the left parotid gland, and of a 75-year-old man who presented with swelling of the right parotid gland. Microscopical and immunohistochemical examination showed metastasis of lung carcinoma and of renal carcinoma, respectively, to Warthin tumor as the first clinical manifestation of the malignancy in the latter case. To the best of our knowledge, such a phenomenon has not been reported so far.
