RESUMO
Owing to complex surgical planning and procedures, orthognathic surgery requires surgeons to possess a high level of clinical expertise. However, traditional teaching methods are difficult to meet the requirements for complex training on orthognathic surgical planning and operation. Virtual reality (VR) technology provides a new solution, but it is limited by problems like imprecise modeling, complex surgical design, single-simulated surgical contents, inability to integrate real time and simulation, and a lack of automatic evaluation function. Artificial intelligence (AI) is potent in data mining and image processing, which can address the limitations of traditional VR teaching, bringing multiple potential for clinical and educational application in orthognathic surgery. With research in personalized model construction, intelligent diagnostics, post-operative prediction, virtual surgical simulation, and personalized feedback and guidance, the fusion of "VR plus AI" holds promise for advancing orthognathic surgical teaching in a more precise and efficient direction, promoting the integration of medicine and technology, and speeding up the transformation of clinical applications.
RESUMO
【Objective】 To report a case of testicular infarction due to polyarteritis nodosa (PAN), and to discuss its clinical diagnosis and treatment based on relevant literatures at home and abroad, so as to have a better understanding of this rare disease. 【Methods】 Clinical data of a case complaining of scrotal pain who was initially diagnosed as testicular torsion and later confirmed to be testicular infarction due to PAN were retrospectively analyzed, and relevant literatures were reviewed. 【Results】 With glucocorticoid, vasodilator and antioxidant treatment, the patient’s testicular blood flow was improved. 【Conclusion】 Testicular infarction due to PAN is a rare disease which is difficult to diagnose timely. The diagnosis depends on biopsy and the standards formulated by American College of Rheumatology (ACR). Good prognosis can be achieved with timely diagnosis and correct treatment.
RESUMO
【Objective】 To investigate the predictive value of non-invasive parameters in assessing detrusor function in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). 【Methods】 Clinical data of 384 BPH patients to undergo surgery were enrolled and retrospectively analyzed. The patients’ age and medical history time (MHT) were recorded. The free urinary flow rate was measured and maximum flow rate (Qmax) was recorded. Post-void residual (PVR) and voiding volume (VV) were measured with Bladder Scan, and bladder voiding efficiency (BVE) was calculated. Parameters including detrusor pressure (Pdet@Qmax) and Watts factor (WFmax) were collected in invasive urodynamic examination. Patients were grouped as detrusor underactivity (DU) group and non detrusor underactivity (NDU) group according to the results of WFmax, and the factors influencing detrusor function were analyzed with Logistic regression. The optimal cut-off values were confirmed with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. 【Results】 Significant differences were observed in patients’ age, MHT, Qmax, PVR, BVE, Pdet@Qmax between the DU and NDU groups. Logistic regression showed that the overall prediction accuracy was higher when MHT, Qmax and BVE were included. The model prediction formula was Y=6.020-0.451XMHT+0.554XQmax-0.074XBVE. ROC curve showed when age ≥70.5 years and MHT≥ 7.5 years, there was a greater possibility of DU. When Qmax ≥5.7 mL/s and BVE ≥75.5%, the contractile function of detrusor was normal. Model prediction formula Y≥0.72 showed that detrusor contractility was normal. 【Conclusion】 Age, MHT, Qmax and BVE have certain predictive value for assessing detrusor function in BPH patients.
RESUMO
Objective:To compare the accuracy of different stone scoring systems for predicting the stone-free rate (SFR) after retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS).Methods:The clinical data of 227 patients with lithiasis undergoing RIRS from June 2017 to December 2020 in Affiliated Benq Hospital of Nanjing Medical University and Qingdao Fuwai Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. There were 152 males and 75 females. The average age was (53.0±10.4) years old. The average body mass index was (26.9±2.1)kg/m 2. The maximum diameter of the stone was (22.7±12.8)mm. The stone is located in left side in 133 cases and in right side in 94 cases. The stones of 44 cases were located in upper ureter, upper calyceal or renal pelvis, that of 23 cases were in medium calyceal, 157 cases in lower calyceal, and 3 cases in calyceal diverticulum.The average CT value of stone was (778.3±350.4)HU. American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA)scores: 86 cases of grade Ⅰ, 129 cases of grade Ⅱ, 12 cases of grade Ⅲ. Preoperative non-contrast CT was conducted and three-dimensional data were constructed. A single observer reviewed and entered the modified S.T.O.N.E., RUSS, modified S-ReSC, R. I.R.S., SHA.LIN, Ito nomogram, S. O.L.V.E., stone free index (SFI) scores. Logistic analysis were performed between every score and SFR. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to detect sensitivity and specificity of every score in predicting the SFR. The predictive accuracies of all scores were compared. Results:The SFR was 83.0%(189/227). There were statistically significant differences in modified S. T.O.N.E.(10.5±1.9 vs. 12.7±1.8), RUSS[1(0, 4) vs. 3(0, 6)], modified S-ReSC (8.2±5.6 vs. 11.8±6.0), R.I.R.S.(6.2±1.4 vs. 8.1±1.2), SHA.LIN (9.9±2.4 vs. 13.0±2.1), Ito nomogram (12.1±5.8 vs. 4.3±3.3), S. O.L.V.E. (6.8±1.6 vs. 8.7±1.2), SFI score (7.9±1.1 vs. 6.3±0.9) between the stone-free group and the stone remaining group ( P <0.05). Logistic regression revealed that modified S.T.O.N.E., RUSS, modified S-ReSC, R. I.R.S., SHA.LIN, Ito nomogram, S. O.L.V.E. and SFI score were significantly associated with SFR( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the area under the curve (AUC) between the modified S. T.O.N.E., RUSS, R. I.R.S., SHA.LIN, Ito nomogram, S. O.L.V.E. and SFI score( P>0.05), but there were significant differences in the AUC between modified S-ReSC score and other score ( P<0.05). When the cutoff of SHA.LIN, SFI and R. I.R.S. score was determined as 10, 6 and 6 scores, the specificity of SHA.LIN, SFI and R. I.R.S. score was 94.7%, 92.6% and 89.5%, respectively. Conclusions:All score could predict the postoperative SFR of RIRS, while the SHA.LIN, SFI and R.I.R.S. score were more accurate than the other scores. The accuracy of the modified S-ReSC in predicting SFR after RIRS was slightly worse than other scores.
RESUMO
Type A (AOSpine type) thoracolumbar fractures are the most common. There has long been controversy over their treatment, especially for type A3N0/1, those without neurological injury. Although the fixation with pedicle screws via the anterior and posterior approaches has been widely carried out in clinical practice, such problems as unsatisfactory reduction, kyphosis recurrence and postoperative disc degeneration have not been resolved. In recent years, various attempts have been made to improve the prognosis of type A3 thoracolumbar fractures. This paper reviews the progress in researches on treatment of type A3N0/1 thoracolumbar fractures.
RESUMO
The present study investigated the detailed in vitro osteogenic differentiation process and in vivo bone regenerative property of human amniotic epithelial cells (hAECs). The in vitro osteogenic differentiation process of hAECs was evaluated by biochemical staining, real-time polymerase chain reaction, and immunofluorescence. Next, ß-tricalcium phosphate (ß-TCP) scaffolds alone or loaded with hAECs were implanted into the alveolar defects of rats. Micro-computed tomography evaluation and histologic studies were conducted. Our results validated the in vitro osteogenic capacity of hAECs by upregulation of Runx2, osterix, alkaline phosphatase, collagen I, and osteopontin, with positive biochemical staining for osteoblasts. An epithelial-mesenchymal transformation process might be involved in the osteogenic differentiation of hAECs by increased expression of transforming growth factor-ß1. Our data also demonstrated that in vivo implantation of hAECs loaded on ß-TCP scaffolds, not only improved bone regeneration by direct participation, but also reduced the early host immune response to the scaffolds. The presented data indicate that hAECs possess proper osteogenic differentiation potential and a modulatory influence on the early tissue remodeling process, making these cells a potential source of progenitor cells for clinical restoration of the alveolar defect.

RESUMO
We evaluated the effect of biological pretreatment with white rot fungus Trametes vesicolor on the enzymatic hydrolysis of two wood species, Chinese willow (Salix babylonica, hardwood) and China-fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata, softwood). The result indicated that the pretreated woods showed significant increases in the final conversion ratios of enzymatic hydrolysis (4.78-fold for hardwood and 4.02-fold for softwood). In order to understand the role of biological pretreatment we investigated the enzyme-substrate interactions. Biological pretreatment enhanced the substrate accessibility to cellulase but not always correlated with the initial conversion rate. However, the change of the conversion rate decreased dramatically with increased desorption values after biological pretreatment. Thus, the biological pretreatment slowed down the declines in conversion rates during enzymatic hydrolysis by reducing the irreversible adsorption of cellulase and then improved the enzymatic hydrolysis. Moreover, the decreases of the irreversible adsorption may be attributed to the partial lignin degradation and alteration in lignin structure after biological pretreatment.

BACKGROUND: Cryopreservation can decrease tissue and organ immunogenicity. The effects of cryopreservation on cell immunogenicity are disputed.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of liquid nitrogen cryopreservation on osteoblast immunogenicity. DESIGN: Randomized,controlled ,paired-sample experiment. SETTING: This study was performed in the Laboratory Center, Qilu Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University between July 2003 and March 2004. MATERIALS: Four New Zealand rabbits of either gender were included for this study. 3H-TdR was provided by Nuclear Medicine Institute of Shandong University. METHODS: Osteoblasts were cultured from the tibial periosteum of New Zealand rabbits and then cryopreservated in the liquid nitrogen for 3 months and defrosted. Cryopreservated and thawn osteoblasts were set as cryopreserved group and freshly cultured osteoblasts were set as non-cyropreserved group. Major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-I positive rate was examined by flow cytometry assay prior to and after cryopreservation. Simultaneously, mixed lymphocyte-osteoblast cultures were established. Lymphocyte stimulation index was calculated after counting the flares using β liquid scintilloscope. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: MHI-I antigen positive rate and lymphocyte stimulation index prior to and after cryopreservation of osteoblasts. RESULTS: MHI-I antigen positive rate and lymphocyte stimulation index of osteoblasts was significantly higher in the non-cryopreserved group than in the cryopreserved group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The immunogenicity of cryopreserved osteoblasts was significantly decreased. Liquid nitrogen cryopreservation is an ideal method to decrease the immunogenicity of osteoblasts.
