Optimal Arytenoid Position in Laryngeal Framework Surgery: An Anatomic Human Larynx Study

Spasmodic dysphonia continues to be a management problem for otolaryngologists. Selective lysis of the recurrent laryngeal nerve has been useful in the management of this disease. Reported long-term results, however, reveal that spasm recurs in approximately 40% to 50% of initially successful patients in spite of persistence of the unilateral vocal fold paralysis. Although some of these failures can be recaptured with subsequent laser surgery, the overall “cure” rate does not exceed 70%, even in the best hands. The contributions of Isshiki, LeJeune, and Tucker have demonstrated that tension in the vocal folds can be adjusted by laryngeal framework surgery. Experience with 16 patients suffering from adductor spasmodic dysphonia suggests that laryngeal framework surgery is useful in the management of this disorder.

Preceding Cell

The combination of hydroxocobalamin (vitamin B12b) and ascorbicacid (vitamin C) can cause the death of tumor cells at the concentrationsof the components at which they are nontoxic when administeredseparately. This cytotoxic action on epidermoid human larynx carcinomacells HEp-2 in vitro is shown to be due to the hydrogen peroxidegenerated by the combination of vitamins B12b and C. The drop inthe glutathione level preceding cell death was found to be the result ofcombined action of the vitamins. It is supposed that the induction of celldeath by combined action of vitamins B12b and C is connected to the damageof the cell redox system.
