One patient (0.23%) had recurrence after endoscopic resection, while no cases of malignant degeneration were seen (mean follow-up103.3 ± 93months). Seventy-six patients (14%) had associated lung cancer, synchronous in 9 (12%) and metachronous in 67 (88%). Only age > 70-year-old (p = 0.0059) and smokers > 20 cigarettes/day (p < 0.0001) were the significant risk factors for lung cancer. PH was a benign tumor, with no evidence of recurrence and/or of malignant degeneration after resection. The association between hamartoma and lung cancer was a spurious phenomenon due to common risk factors.

The association between hamartoma and lung cancer was a spurious phenomenon due to common risk factors. To investigate the asymmetry of the inferior turbinate (IT) in patients with nasal septum deviation (NSD). The paranasal sinus computed tomography (CT) of 100 patients with NSD were retrospectively investigated from February 2018 to December 2019. The thickness of IT, IT mucosa and IT bone, the distance between the IT and the midline were measured on both the concave and convex sides, and which correlation with NSD was analyzed. The widths of the IT, IT bone and IT medial mucosa on the concave side were larger than those on the convex side (all P < 0.05). The distance from the IT and IT bone to the midline on the concave side was smaller than those on the convex side (P < 0.05, respectively). The degree of NSD had a negative correlation with the widths of the IT and IT bone on the convex side, and the distance between the IT and the midline on the concave side; and a positive correlation with the distance from IT and IT bone to the midline on the convex side, and IT mucosa thickness on the concave side (all P < 0.05). The asymmetric IT width is mainly caused by both hypertrophies of the IT mucosa on the concave side and atrophy of the IT bone on the convex side. Therefore, during the surgery of nasal ventilation reconstruction, the IT on the convex side are suggested to be protected from intervention. In contrast, it is necessary to lateralize the IT bone and reduce the IT submucosal tissue on the concave side. However, routine excision of the IT bone is not recommended.

In these microdomains, the variations in the composition of total lipids, sterols, and fatty acids were observed. These variations differed under hypo- and hyperosmotic types of stress. We presumed that such variations were bound up with different strategies, which are probably related to protecting the cell from osmotic stress. One of the protection tendencies might be related, in our opinion, to credible growth of the content of such lipids as sterols and sterol esters, which are considered as raft-forming. Under osmotic stress, these lipids can contribute to the formation of both new raft structures and new membrane contacts of plasmalemma with intracellular organelles. Another protection tendency may be bound up with the redistribution of membrane phospholipids and phosphoglycerolipids possibly to stabilize the membrane's lamellar structure, which is ensured by credible growth of the content of such lipids as phosphatidylcholines, phosphatidylinositols, and digalactosyldiac
