Abstract
Introduction Second primary tumor (SPT) is a major factor that affects the survival of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients, and the esophagus is a common site. Detection of SPT is essential for optimal HNSCC treatment planning and follow-up. Mutation of the NOTCH1 gene is common in head and neck cancer. However, details relating to Notch signaling and clinical outcomes among different primary tumors are still inconclusive. This study aimed to identify the role of the Notch signaling pathway in HNSCC, and to compare NOTCH1 expression in HNSCC compared between those with and without SPT at esophagus while focusing on the Notch intracellular domain (NICD). Methods Twenty-three cases of esophageal SPT and 47 non-SPT controls that were treated at Siriraj Hospital during 2006–2017 were included. Patient information and clinical outcomes were analyzed. NICD expression demonstrated by immunohistochemistry technique in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded specimens was studied. Results Mean age of SPT and non-SPT was 55.13 and 62.09 years, respectively, and 94.3% of patients were male. Regarding SPT detection, 82.6% were synchronous and 17.4% were metachronous. There was significantly more active smoking among SPT than among non-SPT (87.0% vs 51.1%, p=0.01). Active alcohol use was also significantly greater among SPT than among non-SPT (87.0% vs 61.7%; p=0.04). Hypopharynx was the most common primary tumor site among SPT. Three-year and 5-year survival among SPT patients was 38.0% and 25.3%, respectively. NICD expression was absent in 52.2% of SPT, and in 53.3% of non-SPT. NICD expression intensity was mostly weak or moderate. Conclusion Active smoking and alcohol use were found to be significantly associated with SPT development. A high percentage of NICD inactivation was noted in HNSCC with no significant difference between groups. The Notch signaling pathway is involved in HNSCC tumorigenesis, but may not be a suitable molecular marker for SPT development.

Abstract
Background The prognoses of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) are poor, especially when both tumors occur at the same time. We examined the clonal relatedness of HNSCCs with synchronous ESCCs to confirm whether the second tumors were metastasis or separate second primary malignancies (SPMs) using loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analysis. Methods Twenty-one pairs of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue from HNSCC patients with synchronous esophageal cancer were analyzed by single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array using the Illumina HumanCytoSNP FFPE-12 BeadChip (San Diego, CA), which contains approximately 300,000 probes. LOH was identified using Nexus Copy Number software (El Segundo, CA). Results Comparing the LOH pattern between HNSCC and paired ESCC, we found that 20 out of 21 paired tissues had a high number of discordant LOHs (LOH identified solely in the primary HNSCC but not in synchronous ESCC at the same genomic location) and a low number of concordant LOHs (LOH at the same genomic location in both HNSCC and ESCC). Only one case fell into the undetermined category. Therefore, these 20 ESCCs were classified as SPMs or second field tumors (SFTs). Moreover, the HNSCC patients with molecularly confirmed esophageal SPM had significantly poorer survival than the other patients. Conclusions We propose the use of a genome-wide SNP array as a tool to differentiate metastatic tumors from SPM/SFT. The SNP array offers genome-wide LOH information that earlier microsatellite analysis studies lack. The ability to accurately identify SPM should contribute to a better treatment plan and follow-up care of these patients.

Abstract
With the wealth of data accumulated from completely sequenced genomes and other high-throughput experiments, global studies of biological systems, by simultaneously investigating multiple biological entities (e.g. genes, transcripts, proteins), has become a routine. Network representation is frequently used to capture the presence of these molecules as well as their relationship. Network biology has been widely used in molecular biology and genetics, where several network properties have been shown to be functionally important. Here, we discuss how such methodology can be useful to translational biomedical research, where scientists traditionally focus on one or a small set of genes, diseases, and drug candidates at any one time. We first give an overview of network representation frequently used in biology: what nodes and edges represent, and review its application in preclinical research to date. Using cancer as an example, we review how network biology can facilitate system-wide approaches to identify targeted small molecule inhibitors. These types of inhibitors have the potential to be more specific, resulting in high efficacy treatments with less side effects, compared to the conventional treatments such as chemotherapy. Global analysis may provide better insight into the overall picture of human diseases, as well as identify previously overlooked problems, leading to rapid advances in medicine. From the clinicians’ point of view, it is necessary to bridge the gap between theoretical network biology and practical biomedical research, in order to improve the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of the world’s major diseases.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Irradiation resistance is a major obstacle of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) therapy, limiting treatment success and patient survival. The aim of our experiments was to identify irradiation-regulated proteins as potential drug targets. Two established HNSCC cell lines (HNSCCUM-01T and HNSCCUM-02T) were treated with a single 8Gy (Gray) fraction of irradiation. Changes in cellular protein expression were studied after 24h by means of 2D-electrophoresis and MALDI-TOF-mass spectrometry. Ninety-four differentially expressed proteins were identified. The expression levels of four proteins were regulated similarly in both cell lines after irradiation treatment, i.e., GRP78, PRDX, ACTC, and the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNPK), suggesting a relevant role during irradiation response. hnRNPK as a p53 interacting protein was verified by Western blotting and immunocytochemical staining as well as functionally analyzed. Knock-down by the use of siRNA resulted in only slightly reduced viability, however, migratory activity was strongly reduced. Combined application of siRNA against hnRNPK and irradiation reduced migration almost completely. We conclude that hnRNPK is potentially implicated in the radiogenic response of HNSCC. The inhibition of hnRNPK might reduce the metastasizing potential of HNSCC especially in combination with irradiation and suggest that this molecule should be further evaluated in this context. BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE We showed completely impaired migration of irradiated hnRNPK-knock-out HNSCC cells, suggesting this molecule as a potential drug target in combined treatment schedules.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Review clinical manifestations, investigation, and treatment of tuberculosis of the middle ear. MATERIAL AND METHOD A retrospective review of six cases diagnosed as tuberculosis of the middle ear at a tertiary referral center was included in the present study. The outcome measures were history, clinical manifestations, investigation, and treatment were reviewed in the medical records. RESULTS The authors retrospectively reviewed data of our patients diagnosed as tuberculosis of the middle ear. It has been found that the most common manifestation is chronic otorrhea. Investigations are variable such as histopathology, tissue culture, or polymerase chain reaction for identification of tuberculosis. Treatment is mainly medication, however, surgery is considered for histopathology in selected cases. CONCLUSION Tuberculosis of the middle ear is a rare disease that requires high index of suspicion for diagnosis due to the variety of clinical manifestations. Identification of tuberculosis is a key for diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
The purpose of this research is to study the causes of vertigo in the patients at Otoneurology Clinic, Thammasat Hospital. The data of these patients, collected from the medical records between January 2010 and January 2011, were reviewed and analyzed. From one hundred and forty-nine cases, 49 cases (33%) were men and 100 cases (67%) were women, which yielded the male-to-female ratio of 1:2. The average age of patients was 55 year olds. The most common diagnostic category was peripheral vestibular disorders (80.5%). Other causes were central vestibular disorders (4.7%) and non-vestibular related (4%), whereas the remaining (10.1%) was undiagnosed. The causes of vertigo included benign paroxysmal positional vertigo: BPPV (53%), Meniere's disease (10.1%) and recurrent vestibulopathy (8.1%), while the underlying diseases found were diabetes mellitus (11.4%), hypertension (32.2%) and dyslipidemia (34.2%). In Otoneurology Clinic, Thammasat Hospital, the peripheral vestibular disorders was the main etiology of vertigo, while the three most common causes were BPPV Meniere's disease, and recurrent vestibulopathy respectively.
