Application of an augmented reality tool for maxillary positioning in orthognathic surgery – A feasibility study

BACKGROUND: An augmented reality tool for computer assisted surgery named X-Scope allows visual tracking of real anatomical structures in superposition with volume rendered CT or MRI scans and thus can be used for navigated translocation of bony segments. METHODS: In a feasibility study X-Scope was used in orthognathic surgery to control the translocation of the maxilla after Le Fort I osteotomy within a bimaxillary procedure. The situation achieved was compared with the pre-operative situation by means of cephalometric analysis on lateral and frontal cephalograms. RESULTS: The technique was successfully utilized in 5 patients. Maxillary positioning using X-Scope was accomplished accurately within a range of 1mm. The tool was used in all cases in addition to the usual intra-operative splints. A stand-alone application without conventional control does not yet seem reasonable. CONCLUSION: Augmented reality tools like X-Scope may be helpful for controlling maxillary translocation in orthognathic surgery. The application to other interventions in cranio-maxillofacial surgery such as Le Fort III osteotomy, fronto-orbital advancement, and cranial vault reshaping or repair may also be considered.     

An etiological and clinicopathological study of early syphilis in oropharynx]

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the characteristics of the early stage treponema pallidum infected tissue in ear, nose, oropharynx and larynx and to raise relevance ratio of syphilis in nose and oropharynx and enhance doctor's self-protection awareness. METHODS: The histopathologic characteristics were studied by using HE staining, Warthin-Starry (W-S) staining was adopted to examine the treponema pallidum(TP) in lesion issue and its exudates smear for 12 cases biopsy tissues of suspicious syphilis. The diagnosis was confirmed by venereal disease research laboratory (VDRL), rapid plasma reagin circle test(RPR), treponema pallidum hemagglutination test(TPHA) and fluorescent treponemal antibody-absorption test (FTA-ABS). Treat with curing syphilis methods which published by nation. RESULTS: In the 12 cases mucous membrane specimen, the squamous epithelium proliferated, neutrophilic granulocyte infiltrated, within inherent membrane generous plasmacyte and lymphocyte infiltrated. W-S staining: plenty of treponema pallidum were found inside mucous membrane epithelium and exudate smear. Serology examination: 11 cases VDRL(++++), 7 cases RPR (+), 11 cases TPHA(+), 1 case FTA-ABS(+). After systemic treatment, 11 cases are clinically recovered. All patients serology become negative. CONCLUSION: W-S staining method can directly demonstrate histopathologic characteristics in early syphilis, in intrinsic membrane numerous plasmacyte infiltration. Combining with specific syphilis serology examination could increase diagnosis rate of syphilis in nose and oropharynx.

硫酸锌对大鼠移植胰腺再灌注损伤的保护作用

Objective:To study the protective effects of the heat shock protein 70 （HSP70）induced by zinc sulfate on reperfusion injury following pancreaticoduodenal transplantation in rats.Methods :The homologous male Wistar rat model of heterotopic total pancreaticoduodenal transplantation was used. The ZnSO4 treated rats received the intravenous injection of Zn2+5 mins before and after operation at a dose of 5 mg/kg (Zn 1 group),10 mg/kg(Zn 2 group) and 15 mg/kg(Zn 3 group), and the control group with the same volume of saline. The tissue concentration of HSP70 was determined using Western Blot. In addition，blood sugar (BG) and serum concentration of amylase and lipase were examined 24h after transplantation, and the activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) in the pancrease graft was measured at the same time. Histological observation was performed.Results:Light microscopic studies showed that histomorphological changes of pancreas in Zn 2 group and Zn 1 group were much less than those in control group and Zn 3 group. The value of BG and serum lipase and MPO in Zn 2 group ＜ Zn 1 group 相似文献

氟马西尼造成的脑弥散成像改变对癫痫灶的定位研究

目的探讨癫痫患者应用氟马西尼之后,用磁共振弥散成像(diffusion-weighted magnetic imaging,DWI)检测脑组织发生的改变,从而确定癫痫灶的位置。方法选择准备手术的癫痫患者20例,其中检查前2个月内服用过苯二氮卓类药物(benzodiazepine,BZD)有9人,另取17位未发做过癫痫的健康者作为对照。在患者清醒和完全的发作间期进行磁共振弥散成像基线扫描,然后静脉推注氟马西尼(flumazenil,FMZ),注射10min后,再次进行DWI检查。所有的病人测量下列双侧结构的表观弥散系数(apparent diffusion coefficient,ADC):海马、海马旁回、丘脑、中央白质、与癫痫灶相连的皮质。健康对照者进行了DWI检查,测量了上述结构。我们还对20位患者进行了注射FMZ前后的视频脑电图比较。结果与健康对照者对比,颞叶癫痫患者发病侧海马的发作间期ADC基线明显升高(P<0.05)。在注射氟马西尼后,不同感兴趣区的平均ADC变化如下:近期服用过BZD的患者癫痫发作侧的海马ADC下降(P<0.05);癫痫发作侧的海马旁回ADC下降(P<0.05),而近期没有服用过BZD的患者,未发现上述变化。在视频脑电监测中,服用BZD的患者也更易用FMZ诱发出癫痫波。在颞叶以外癫痫我们没有观察到统一的变化模式。结论近期服用过BZD药物的颞叶癫痫患者中,注射氟马西尼引起的ADC改变和癫痫灶的位置密切相关。核磁共振弥散成像清楚地表明了颢叶癫痫患者潜在癫痫灶的位置,是一个有效检测方法。     

Study of pathological morphology in chronic sinusitis]

OBJECTIVE: To study the pathological characteristics and regularity of chronic sinusitis (CS) in different clinical types, tc estimate the reliability and feasibility of CS classification on the pathologic basis. METHODS: HE, Van Gieson's, alcian blue-periodic acid-schiff(AB-PAS) staining was used to observe the changes of epithelium, to measure the thickness of basement membrane and the area of mucous glands. The ultrastructural changes of pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium were observed under transmission electron microscope (TEM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). RESULTS: The epithelial fiber tissue was increased, the basement membrane was thickened, and the mucous glands were obviously increased in CS under the light microscope. Subepithelial fibrosis and thickened basement membrane were most obviously seen in type III of CS and the hyperplasia of mucous glands was most distinct in type II. Under the TEM, abnormal structure of cilia, decrease of ciliated cells, increase of goblet cells were detected in all three CS types. Under the SEM, the cilia of every types showed the ingravescenced process of pathological changes from slight cilium disorder, disorientation, to desquamation of most cilia and replacement of microvilli. CONCLUSION: There is significant distinction of mucous membrane structure among three types. The Chinese classification of CS has pathological basis, it represents the occurrence, development and regularity of CS, and it can be used as basis in further study, communication and evaluation for surgical effect of CS.
