From October 1987 to March 1988, 25 cases (15 males and 10 females) with the globus hystericus were evaluated at 804 Army General Hospital. All patients underwent complete physical examination, routine laboratory work-up, roentgenographic examination of paranasal sinuses, cervical region and chest, upper G-I series, fiberoptic endoscopy and esophagoscopy. 2.3% of the patients in this study had the globus hystericus, the male to female ratio was 1.5:1, the mean ages were 51 years, the average educational level was low, the endoscopic findings were vallecular cyst in 3 cases (12%), epiglottic cyst in 2 cases (8%), the roentgenographic findings were maxillary sinusitis in 3 cases (12%), cervical osteophytes in 9 cases (36%) gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer and diverticulum in 1 cases (4%) respectively. We analyzed the positive findings and reviewed the literature.

Lesion of optic disc may appear also with coherence to myeloid leukaemia. Authors introduce a case report of a patient, who found out help of an ophthalmologist with very indefinite difficulties (visual acuity deterioration of her left eye in connection with long-lasting sinusitis). Due to changes in orbit and the optic disc the status was evaluated as retrobulbar neuritis. During the indicated therapy by corticosteroids (Prednison) a steroid gastric ulcer was unfolded. During the additional therapy and after the sternal punction the acute monocytic leukaemia (AML) was diagnosed. On that base the aimed therapy at the Clinic of Haematology was realised. The patient died 27 months since the diagnose of AML was determined.

Patulous eustachian tube is a pathological condition which exists more often than we make a diagnosis, and a patient is not often aware of his disease. This disease can be manifested with various symptoms: respiratory synchrony noises in the ear, because of the penetration of the air current through the eustachian tube and with the movement of the eardrum outwards and inside, with autophony, reduction of the hearing, the buzzing, dizziness and disturbance of the balance. Two patients are presented. The first one was sick for many years from various chronics exhausted diseases: Jackson's epilepsy, temporary vascular brain disturbances, tuberculosis of lung, stomach ulcer, heart diseases, the patient is from low class, on one side, and also suffers from some local diseases: a paralysis of soft palate and palatal arcs, a chronic catarrhal rhinitis and sinusitis, a deviation of nasal dividing wall and hindered breathing through the nose, on the other side. Many years the patient didn't know for patological condition in the ears and in the eustachian tubes. After improving the hygienic conditions, the physical condition and local therapy, the patient felt much better. The second patient, with considerable shorter evolution of the disease and mild symptomatology, showed the amplified symptoms of the disease of the Eustachian tube in the course of the acute otitis. It is attained a satisfying calming of the manifestative symptoms by remedy therapie. Man must thing about possibility of the appearance of this pathology condition in various disease or conditions, which can take to the fast lost of the weight and physical and moral exhaustion of the patient, i.e. an adult, first as the protection of the appearance of the disease (condition) and afterwards, eventually early and regulary treatment in order to prevent various possible, above mentioned complications.

Xanthium strumarium L. (Asteraceae) is a common and well-known traditional Chinese herbal medicine usually named Cang-Er-Zi, and has been used for thousands of years in China. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the progress of modern research, and provide a systematic review on the traditional usages, botany, phytochemistry, pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, and toxicology of the X. strumarium. Moreover, an in-depth discussion of some valuable issues and possible development for future research on this plant is also given. X. strumarium, as a traditional herbal medicine, has been extensively applied to treat many diseases, such as rhinitis, nasal sinusitis, headache, gastric ulcer, urticaria, rheumatism bacterial, fungal infections and arthritis. Up to now, more than 170 chemical constituents have been isolated and identified from X. strumarium, including sesquiterpenoids, phenylpropenoids, lignanoids, coumarins, steroids, glycosides, flavonoids, thiazides, anthraquinones, naphthoquinones and other compounds. Modern research shows that the extracts and compounds from X. strumarium possess wide-ranging pharmacological effects, including anti- allergic rhinitis (AR) effects, anti-tumor effects, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, insecticide and antiparasitic effects, antioxidant effects, antibacterial and antifungal effects, antidiabetic effects, antilipidemic effects and antiviral effects. However, further research should focus on investigating bioactive compounds and demonstrate the mechanism of its detoxification, and more reasonable quality control standards for X. strumarium should also be established.
