<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the clinical application of mandibular-driven simultaneous maxillo-mandihular distraction to correct hemifacial microsomia with rapid prototyping technology.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The patient' s skull resin model was manufactured with rapid prototyping technology. The osteotomy was designed on skull resin model. According to the preoperative design, the patients underwent Le Fort I osteotomy and mandibular ramus osteotomy. The internal mandible distractor was embedded onto the osteotomy position. The occlusal titanium pin was implanted. Distraction were carried out by mandibular-driven simultaneous maxillo-mandihular distraction 5 days after operation.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The distraction in five patients was complete as designed. No infection and dysosteogenesis happened. The longest distance of distraction was 28 mm, and the shortest distance was 16 mm. The facial asymmetry deformity was significantly improved at the end of distraction. The ocelusal plane of patients obviously improved.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Rapid prototyping technology is helpful to design precisely osteotomy before operation. Mandibular-driven simultaneous maxillo-mandibular distraction can correct hemifacial microsomia. It is worth to clinical application.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the effect of different concentration of Tamoxifen ointment on the fibroblasts and transforming growth factor (TGF-beta2) of hypertrophic scar at rabbit ears, so as to explore the possibility of treatment of hypertrophic scar with Tamoxifen.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The hypertrophic scar model was established in 96 New Zealand rabbits' ears. The wounds were divided into four groups (A, B, C and D), with 144 wounds in each group. Different concentration of tamoxifen ointment (0.5%, 1%, 2%) was topically administered in groups A, B and C respectively, and blank ointment in group D. On postoperative day 30, 60 and 90, the scar samples were harvested. The scar thickness, scar histological change and the content of TGF-beta2 were detected.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>(1) On the 30th day after operation, the difference of scar tissue thickness among groups A, D and B, C reached statistical significance (group A, D < group B < group C). However, there was a contrary tendency in fibroblasts density and TGF-beta2 content of the scar tissue simultaneously. (2) On 60th, 90th day after injury, there was statistical difference in scar thickness, fibroblasts density and the content of TGF-beta2 in scar of four groups (P < 0.05). The content of TGF-beta2 in group A, B, C, D was (43.97 +/- 3.63) microg/L, (41.92 +/- 3.91) microg/L, (36.69 +/- 4.15) microg/L, (54.90 +/- 4.71) microg/L, respectively, on 60th day; and (45.69 +/- 2.63) microg/L, (40.43 +/- 3.87) microg/L, (38.76 +/- 3.24) microg/L, (52.59 +/- 4.92) microg/L, respectively, on 90th day. The fibroblasts density of scar in groups A, B, C, D was (4392.07 +/- 327.84) point/mm2, (4208.57 +/- 329.76) point/mm2 (4 033.44 +/- 427.91) point/mm2, (4863.03 +/- 387.98) point/mm2, respectively, on 60th day; and (4418.41 +/- 432.52) point/mm2, (4077.65 +/- 386.70) point/mm2, (3844.53 +/- 354.29) point/mm2, (4838.64 +/- 390.52) point/mm2, respectively, on 90th day. The content of TGF-beta2 and fibroblasts density of scar were lined up as group D > group A > group B > group C (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Topical Tamoxifen can reduce the content of TGF-beta2 and fibroblast, decrease fibroblasts density and the formation of hypertrophic scar at rabbit ears. It offers a new way for the treatment of the hypertrophic scar.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the ultrastructure of the palate-maxillary sutures under tensile forces by transmission electron microscope (TEM).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The Suture expanders were made in NiTi-Shape memory alloy (NiTi-SMA). The maximum force was 3.5 N. Fourteen 8-month old mongrel dogs were used in the study. They were divided into three groups, (1) experimental group, (2) control group, (3) sham group. In the experiment and control groups, an 8 mm wide cleft was made by surgery. The suture expanders were fixed onto the palatine bones of the experimental group. The dogs of the experimental group were executed after 3, 7, 14, 28, 56 days of suture expansion. The change of suture tissue was examined by TEM.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The cleft of the experiment group were closed at the ninth day of expansion. At the beginning, tissue rupture, exudation, death of fibroblasts, disruption of collagen and tear vessels were seen at the early stage of suture expansion. Then highly active functional manifestations were seen in both osteocytic and fibrocytic populations. At last, normal structure restored.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Cell types and functional condition could be distinguished clearly by TEM. It suggests that the suture expansion should be the process of tissue repair and regeneration. The suture cells response, especially, the osteogenic response were the major factor of increasing suture width.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To construct of tissue engineering skin including active composite dermal matrix.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The human fibroblasts and bovine collagen with type I were inoculated on the surface of porcine acellular dermal matrix (PADM) for construction of active dermal substitute, then epidermal cells were inoculated on the dermal matrix for gas-liquid interface culture. The tissue-engineering skin was observed by histological examinations.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The structure of fibroblasts in collagen was intact, which was used to construct composite dermal matrix with PADM. The epithelial structure of tissue-engineering skin was similar to that of normal skin with good cell differentiation. Some phenomena were showed in epidermis: basic layer, stratum spinosum, granular layer and stratum corneum, desmosomes.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Fibroblasts-Collagen-PADM can be an optimal dermal matrix for construction of tissue-engineering skin.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of reconstruction of lower eyelid ectropion with expanded flap.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Fourty patients with lower eyelid ectropion were reconstructed using tissue expander. The volume of the smallest expander was 30 ml, and that of the biggest one was 150 ml. The expand time was from 2-months to 3-months, then advancement or transposition flaps were created and employed in the defected lesion where the scar was removed just in one operation.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>All patients have been followed up for 2-year with satisfactory results and no recurrences was appearance.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Application of expander reasonable may get satisfactory result in reconstruction of lower eyelid ectropion. The incision in donor site is hidden and the symptom seldom recurs.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the effects of carbon fiber dressing on burn wounds.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Two hundreds and seventy seven burn patients were randomly divided into treatment group (group T) and control group (group C). The burn wounds were covered with carbon fiber dressing in T group, and with povidone iodine gauze in C group, respectively. The absorption capability of the dressing, inflammatory reaction and bacteria quantitation of wound tissues and wound healing time were observed, and biopsy of wounds were performed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The absorption capability of the dressing was higher, the wound inflammatory reaction was milder, and bacteria quantitation of wound tissues was lower in the group T than that in group C. The wound healing time in the group T was shorter than that in group C.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Carbon fiber dressing is a new model dressing, it can absorb wound exudation, lessen inflammatory reaction and improve wound healing.</p>
