RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the value of quantitative contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in assessing and predicting early therapy response of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). METHODS: Fifty-six cases of NHL were studied using CEUS before and after three cycles of R-CHOP / CHOP. Quantitative parameters such as arrival time (ATM), time to peak (TTP), â³T = TTP-ATM, area under the gamma curve (Area), curve gradient (Grad), wash-out time (WT), base intensity (BI), peak intensity (PI) and ΔI = PI-BI were compared between the lymphoma and normal lymph nodes before and at mid-treatment, respectively. Changes in quantitative CEUS parameters were also compared between complete response (CR) and incomplete response(non-CR) groups. Besides, the correlation analysis was performed between pretreatment PI and changes in quantitative parameters. RESULTS: After three cycles of R-CHOP/CHOP, S/L (P < 0.001), PI (P = 0.002), ΔI (P < 0.001), Grad (P < 0.001), and Area (P < 0.001) of NHL were significantly decreased. The CR group and non-CR group only differed in ATM before treatment. In contrast, there was no statistical difference in any of the parameters between the two groups at mid-treatment. Finally, a significant correlation was observed between pre-treatment PI and PIâ³% (r = 0.736, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: CEUS is promising for the assessment of response of NHL to R-CHOP/CHOP. Intra-lesion perfusion changes take precedence over morphological changes suggesting treatment efficacy. Pre-treatment ATM values may help to suggest efficacy outcomes and pre-treatment PI values may be a valid predictor of lymphoma perfusion response.

PURPOSE: To observe the effect of orthodontics combined with restoration on masticatory function in deep overbite patients with severe lower anterior teeth attrition. METHODS: From January 2018 to January 2022, a total of 164 deep overbite patients with severe lower anterior teeth attrition were collected and divided into two groups according to different treatment plans: control group(72 patients, with restoration treatment) and experimental group(92 patients, with orthodontics combined with restoration treatment). The chewing efficiency of the two groups was evaluated, temporomandibular joint dysfunction index (DI), muscle palpation index (PI) and cranio-mandibular index (CMI) were calculated. The satisfaction with facial esthetic, the Chinese version of Oral Health Impact Scale-14(OHIP-14) and the repair satisfaction score were evaluated, the occurrence of adverse events between the two groups was compared. SPSS 23.0 software package was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: After treatment, the chewing efficiency of the experimental group was significantly improved compared to the control group, while the DI, PI, and CMI were significantly reduced compared to the control group(Pï¼0.05). Compared with the control group, the satisfaction degree with facial esthetic and restoration in the experimental group was significantly higher, while the OHIP-14 score was significantly lower after treatment(Pï¼0.05). The incidence of adverse events in the experimental group was significantly decreased compared with the control group (6.52% vs 25.00%, Pï¼0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Combination of orthodontics and restoration treatment can enhance the effectiveness of restoration treatment for deep overbite with severe lower anterior teeth attrition, improve the mastication function and temporomandibular joint balance,satisfaction and quality of life of patients, as well as reduce the risk of adverse events.

PURPOSE: To investigate the effectiveness of combined orthodontic and restoration treatment for introverted deep overbite patients with severe wear. METHODS: A total of 86 introverted deep overbite patients with severe wear admitted to Cangzhou People's Hospital from December 2020 to June 2022 were collected and divided into the control group and the experimental group by gender, age, degree of wear and tear, with 43 cases in each group. The control group received orthodontic treatment, while the experimental group received combined orthodontic and restoration treatment. The gingival index (GI), periodontal index(PI), smile index, temporomandibular joint space [anterior space, superior space, posterior space and In (P/A)], tooth function (chewing function, pronunciation function, dental occlusal function) and chewing efficiency of 2 groups before and after treatment were compared. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 22.0 software package. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, the orthodontic treatment time of the experimental group patients was significantly reduced(Pï¼0.05). Before treatment, there was no significant difference in GI, PI, smile index, buccal gap rate, temporomandibular joint space, swallowing function and chewing efficiency between 2 groups(Pï¼0.05). After treatment, compared with the control group, the GI, PI, anterior space were significantly reduced(Pï¼0.05); the smile index, posterior space and In (P/A), chewing function, pronunciation function, tooth occlusion and chewing efficiency significantly increased (Pï¼0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Both orthodontic treatment and combined orthodontic and restoration treatment can be used to treat introverted deep overbite patients with severe wear. However, combination of orthodontic and restoration treatment has significant advantages.
