Three-dimensional evaluation of the mandibular condyle in adults with various skeletal patterns / 대한치과교정학회지

Objective@#Morphometric and morphological evaluation of the mandibular condyle in adults and to identify its correlation with skeletal malocclusion patterns. @*Methods@#Cone-beam computed tomography scans of 135 adult patients were used in this study and classified into groups according to four criteria: (1) sex (male and female); (2) sagittal skeletal discrepancy (Class I, Class II, and Class III); (3) vertical skeletal discrepancy (hyperdivergent, normodivergent, and hypodivergent); and age (group 1 ≤ 20 years, 21 ≤ group 2 < 30, and group 3 ≥ 30 years). The morphometrical variables were mandibular condyle height and width, and the morphological variable was the mandibular condyle shape in coronal and sagittal sections. Three-dimensional standard tessellation language files were created using itk-snap (open-source software), and measurements were performed using Meshmixer (open-source software). @*Results@#The mandibular condyle height was significantly greater (p < 0.05) in patients with class III malocclusion than in those with class I or II malocclusion;the mandibular condyle width was not significantly different among different sexes, age groups, and sagittal and vertical malocclusions. There were no statistical associations between various mandibular condyle shapes and the sexes, age groups, and skeletal malocclusions. @*Conclusions@#The condylar height was greatest in patients with class III malocclusion. The condylar height and width were greater among males than in females. The mandibular condyle shapes observed in sagittal and coronal sections did not affect the skeletal malocclusion patterns.

Progress in diagnosis and treatment of ciliary body lymphoma / 中华实验眼科杂志

Intraocular lymphoma with ciliary body involvement is extremely rare, which can be divided into primary and secondary types.The common pathological patterns are mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue B-cell lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and T-cell lymphoma is relatively rare.The clinical manifestations of ciliary body lymphoma are similar to anterior uveitis.Hypopyon and secondary glaucoma can result from the disease, and the differentiating features include iris patches, iris neovascularization, and hyphema.Diffuse infiltration or space-occupying lesions of ciliary body lymphoma can be found by ultrasound biomicroscopy.Cytological and/or histopathological examination is the gold standard for its diagnosis.Immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, cytokine analysis, and gene rearrangement are often used in combination to improve the diagnosis rate.Radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or combination therapy can achieve a better prognosis.This paper reviewed classification, pathological types, ocular manifestations, examinations, diagnosis, and treatment of ciliary body lymphoma to provide a reference for clinical practice.

Research advances on anti-vascular endothelial growth factor in the treatment of intraocular tumors and its complications / 中华眼底病杂志

Intraocular tumors is a serious blinding eye disease, which has a serious impact on patients' vision and even life. At present, the main treatments include surgical treatment, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, laser therapy and combination therapy. In recent years, with the wide application of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the treatment of ocular diseases, many studies have confirmed that anti-VEGF drugs play an important auxiliary role in the treatment of intraocular tumors and its complications. In terms of the therapeutic effect, intravitreal anti-VEGF combined with other methods have a good prognosis in the treatment of choroidal metastatic carcinoma and retinoblastoma, while the therapeutic effect of uveal melanoma is still controversial. In the treatment of intraocular tumor complications, intravitreal anti-VEGF also has a good effect on the secondary lesions of choroidal osteoma and radiation retinopathy. As for drug safety, intravitreal anti-VEGF can significantly reduce the toxic and side effects of systemic chemotherapeutic therapy. However, the dosage and medication regimen of anti-VEGF drugs in the treatment of intraocular tumors and their complications have not been unified in current studies, and further basic and clinical trials are still needed to explore in the future.

Objective:To investigate effects of implantation of pectoralis major fascia combined with serratus anterior fatty fascia flap prosthesis on breast reconstruction after early breast cancer surgery.Methods:A total of 62 patients with early breast cancer undergoing breast reconstruction in Dongguan People's Hospital of Guangdong Province from July 2017 to December 2019 were selected and randomly divided into two groups, 31 cases in each group. The control group was treated with pectoralis major fascia covering prosthesis for breast reconstruction, and the observation group was treated with pectoralis major fascia combined with serratus anterior fatty fascia flap covering prosthesis for breast reconstruction. The clinical data of the two groups were recorded, the postoperative aesthetic appearance of breast was evaluated. According to the function assessment of cancer therapy-breast cancer (FACT-B) was used to evaluate the score of quality of life before and after operation, and postoperative complications were also observed.Results:In the control group and the observation group, the intraoperative blood loss was (82.61±12.38) ml, (88.76±13.57) ml, respectively; and drainage tube extubation time was (3.51±0.62) d and (3.64±0.58) d, respectively; there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups ( t value was 1.864, 0.853, respectively, all P > 0.05). The operation time of the observation group was longer than that of the control group [(2.59±0.29) h vs. (1.72±0.32) h, t = 11.217, P < 0.001]. The amount of drainage of the control group was higher than that of the observation group [(215.45±47.69) ml vs. (151.36±31.67) ml, t = 6.233, P < 0.001]; the length of hospital stay of the control group was longer than that of the observation group [(14.51±2.32) d vs. (10.79±1.86) d, t = 6.965, P < 0.001]. The excellent and good rate of postoperative breast appearance of the observation group was higher than that of the control group [96.77% (30/31) vs. 74.19% (23/31), χ 2adjusted=4.679, P = 0.031]. There were no statistical differences in all items including health, emotion, function, society/family and other conditions scores of FACT-B and total scores in both groups before the operation (all P > 0.05); all items scores and total scores of both groups after the operation were higher than those before the operation (all P < 0.001), and the sores after the operation of the observation group were higher than those of the control group (all P < 0.001). The total incidence of postoperative complications was 6.45% (2/31) of the observation group, 22.58% (7/31) of the control group, and the difference was not statistically significant (χ 2adjusted=2.080, P = 0.149). Conclusion:Breast reconstruction with implantation of pectoralis major fascia combined with serratus anterior fatty fascia flap prosthesis after early breast cancer surgery can shorten the postoperative hospital stay, improve the aesthetic appearance of breast, improve the long-term quality of life, and has a high safety.

Analysis of null alleles for 17 Y chromosome-short tandem repeat loci in infertile males / 中华医学遗传学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the characteristics of null allele for 17 Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y-STR) loci in a group of infertile males.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Two hundred thirty six infertile males featuring non-obstructive azoospermia and severe oligozoospermia were analyzed with an AmpFISTR ((R)) Yfiler (TM) kit. Deletions of azoospermia factor (AZF) fragments were confirmed with Y chromosome sequence-tagged sites (STSs) analysis using modified multiplex PCR.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The overall prevalence of AZF microdeletions was 16.95% (40/236). In the non-obstructive azoospermia group, 13 cases had AZFc deletion, 6 cases had AZFb+c deletion, 2 cases had AZFa deletion, 1 case had AZFb deletion. In the severe oligozoospermia group, 17 cases had AZFc deletion and 1 had AZFb deletion. No AZFa+b+c deletion was detected. Forty cases showed null alleles by scanning of the 17 STR loci. Deletions of DYS438, DYS439, DYS437, DYS389I and DYS389II were found in the 2 cases with AZFa deletion. In patients with AZFb deletion, DYS392 and DYS385a/b were found deleted. Deletions of DYS448 were detected in all of the 30 cases with AZFc deletion. Deletions of DYS392, DYS385a/b, and DYS448 were found in 6 cases with AZFb+c deletion.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Deletions of the Y chromosome AZF regions are associated with azoospermia and severe oligozoospermia. Null allele due to complete absence of AZFa, AZFb and AZFc regions may lead to misinterpretation in the sexual assault cases. Revealing the locus heterogeneity in male infertility population can enrich the Y-STR database and facilitate interpretation STR data in forensic DNA testing.</p>

Objective To establish an universal primer-multiplex PCR system for diagnosis of Y chromosome AZF region microdeletions in 262 patients with non-obstructive azoospermic and severe oligozoospermic male infertility. Methods In each panel of multiplex PCR, YUP and YCP containing a fragment of non-human DNA sequence at their 5' ends were designed. The universal primers and chimiric primers were employed for the amplification at the same multiplex PCR system to screen for the Y chromosome AZF region ( a, b and c) microdeletions in 262 non-obstructive azoospermic and severe oligozoospermic male infertility patients. Results Thirty-three out of 262 patients (12. 60% ) were detected with Y chromosome AZF microdeletions. Among them, 27 cases were AZF c microdeletions and 6 ones were AZF b + c microdeletions. These results were in agreement with the results from EMQN method. There was no false-positivity. The gel electrophoresis for detection of multiple STS from both methods showed that the sY84,sY86, sY127, sY134, sY254, sY255, SRY bands were homogeneous and clear with similar brightness. Conclusion The modified multiplex PCR is suitable for screening of Y chromosome AZF microdeletions in non-obstructive azoospermic and severe digozoospermic male infertility patients.

Background Takayasu arteritis is a non specificity inflammation of aorta and its branch.The incidence of Takayasu arteritis is low and its ocular secondary disease is rare.The correct diagnosis of Takayasu arteritis is very important for its early treatment in clinic.Objective This study is to analyze the fundus findings and characteristic of fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) of Takayasu retinopathy.Methods The FFA and clinical data of 12 patients (24 eyes) with Takayasu arteritis were retrospectively reviewed.Written informed consent was obtained from all the patients before and initiation of any study protocol.Results In 12 patients,chronic ischemic retinopathy was found in 15 eyes of 9 patients.The arm to retina circulation time(A RCT) prolonged to (19.20±2.95) s in 5 eyes,and the retinal circulation time (RCT) delayed to 10.62±6.15 s in 5 eyes.Peripapillary arteriovenous anastomosis was found in 2 eyes of 2 patients.Macular arch ring was incomplete in 6 eyes of 4 patients.Eight patients (14 eyes) had telangiectasis and microaneurysm,and 2 eyes of 2 patients presented neovascularization on the disc or elsewhere.In 12 patients,hypertensive retinopathy was found in 4 eyes of 3 patients,showing narrow retinal artery,arteriosclerosis,hemorrhage,cotton wool spots and hard exudates.Ten patients were diagnosed as Takayasu arteritis before FFA examination,and 2 patients were determinedly diagnosed after FFA was performed.Conclusion The main features of Takayasu retinopathy are hypertensive retinopathy and chronic ischemic retinopathy.It is important for ophthalmologist to correctly recognize the clinical features of TA.

Twenty-three cases of cytomegalovirus infection in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome / 中华内科杂志

Objective To investigate the clinical features, therapeutic approaches, outcomes and alterations of peripheral lymphecytos subsets in cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections in patients with AIDS.Methods Ninety-six cases of AIDS were treated in Peking Union Medical College Hospital and 23 of them had CMV infection. We analyzed the clinical features, peripheral lymphocytes subsets, outcomes, CMV pp65 antigen and/or specific anti-CMV lgM. Results In the 23 CMV patients, nonspacific symptoms including fever,cough,chest distress and diarrhea occurred in 18, 11,9 and 8 patients, respectively. Thirteen patients had retinitis identified by ophthalmofundoscepy, 7 of them had blurred vision or floating as primary symptoms. Pneumocystis pneumonia, tuberculosis infection and other infection appeared in 18 patients.Fifteen(65. 2% )of the patients had positive serum tests. The positive rates for CMV pp65 and specific anti-CMV-IgM were 43.5% and 30. 4%, respectively. CD4+T cell count in CMV patients was remarkably decreased than that in non-CMV patients [14 (4,39) cells/μl vs (48 ( 12,128 ) cells/p J, P = 0. 005] and the proportion of CD8+ CD38+ T cells in CMV patients was higher than that in non-CMV patients,whereas the difference of CD8+T cell was not statistically different between the 2 groups. Conclusions CMV infection often occurrs in advanced AIDS patients. In HIV/AIDS patients with CD4+ T cell count ≤ 100 cells/μl,routine check for CMV pp65 antigen, specific anti-CMV IgM and ophthalmofundoscopy are recommended.Whenever encountering a young patient presenting with fever, blurred vision or floating, CMV complicating AIDS should be considered.

Experimental study of limited macular translocation / 中华眼底病杂志

Objective By using a newly developed animal model of limited macular translocation (LMT) in rabbit eyes, to explore the complications,indications and predictability of LMT. Methods LMT models were performed in 15 rabbit eyes, and were divided into 4.5 mm group and 3.5 mm group by the length of scleral shortening.The effect of retinal translocation (distance and direction) and its complications were analyzed. In a separated group, postoperative corneal astigmatism was studied after release of scleral shortening suture 1 month after LMT. In order to study the impact of neuroretina retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) adhesion on LMT, retinas and choroids in 4 pigmented rabbit eyes were pretreated with photocoagulation. Results Success rate of LMT was 86 7%. In these cases, retinal translocations were achieved [(distance of 610 to 2 690 ?m, [AKx-]?s =(1 395?636) ?m; translocation angle ? of 10 38?, ?s =(22.7?8.3) ?]. The difference in scleral shortening between 4.5 mm and 3.5 mm groups did not significantly influence the final translocation. Major complications of LMT included intraocular bleeding, retinal break, and corneal astigmatism. Release of scleral shortening suture reduced corneal astigmatism and made it more regular, meanwhile, retinal translocation did not regress. The neuroretina RPE adhesion induced by retinal photocoagulation made neuroretinal hydrodissection difficult, and led to retinal break readily. . The difference in scleral shortening between 4.5 mm and 3.5 mm groups did not significantly influence the final translocation. Major complications of LMT included intraocular bleeding, retinal break, and corneal astigmatism. Release of scleral shortening suture reduced corneal astigmatism and made it more regular, meanwhile, retinal translocation did not regress. The neuroretina RPE adhesion induced by retinal photocoagulation made neuroretinal hydrodissection difficult, and led to retinal break readily. Conclusion Sufficient LMT models in rabbit eye were obtained with few postoperative complications. Direction of retinal translocation is an important factor influencing the effect of LMT, except for distance. Release of scleral shortening suture can effectively reduce corneal astigmatism without causing regression of retinal translocation. For the patients with a history of macular or para macular photocoagulation, LMT should be performed carefully.
