Treatment of skeletal open bite using a navigation system: CAD/CAM osteotomy and drilling guides combined with pre-bent titanium plates

Severe skeletal open bite associated with posterior vertical maxillary excess and mandibular deformity is considered a difficult problem in orthodontic and surgical treatment. This study used a navigation system for the correction of severe skeletal open bite in order to accurately transfer the virtual plan to the actual operation and achieve precise rigid internal fixation in bimaxillary osteotomies of the jaws. Twelve patients with a severe skeletal open bite associated with vertical maxillary excess and mandibular deformity were recruited. All patients underwent Le Fort I osteotomy and bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy with the guidance of this navigation system. Computed tomography and cephalometric examinations were performed to evaluate the correction of the deformity. Deviations between the simulated plan and actual postoperative outcome were measured to determine the precision of the surgery. Satisfactory and stable results were achieved in all patients postoperatively, without complications or relapse during follow-up. Photographs and cephalometric evaluations showed that the facial profile and occlusion were improved. Assessment of the deviations between the simulated plan and actual postoperative outcome showed that the navigation system can precisely transfer the virtual plan to the actual operation. The results suggest that the navigation system can accurately transfer the virtual plan to the actual operation during bimaxillary jaw osteotomies, without relapse, in patients with a severe skeletal open bite.     

Pathological classification and prognosis of renal damage caused by antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody associated vasculitis

Objective To analyze the pathological characteristics and prognostic factors of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV). Methods A retrospective analysis of AAV patients with renal biopsy results admitted to Kidney Disease Center of the First Affiliated Hospital from January 2004 to February 2017 was performed. The patients were divided into 4 types according to Berden classification, and their clinical, pathological characteristics and prognosis were compared. The survival curves of each type of patients were plotted by Kaplan-Meier method, and the difference of survival curves was compared using Log-rank test. With entering the maintenance dialysis as the endpoint, Cox regression was used to analyze the prognostic factors. Results A total of 175 patients with AAV, including 59 cases (33.7%) of focal type, 39 cases (22.3%) of crescent type, 32 cases (18.3%) of sclerosis type, 45 cases (25.7%) of mixed type. The basal serum creatinine levels in crescent type group and sclerosis type group were significantly higher than those in the focal type group or mixed type group (all P＜0.05), and loop necrosis rate in sclerosis type group was significantly lower than chat in the focal type group or crescent type group (both P＜0.05). The median follow-up period was 11.8 (0.5-86.7) months. The event-free survival rates were 83.1%, 77.8%, 64.1% and 50.0% in the focal type, mixed type, crescent type and sclerotic type groups (Log-rank χ2=11.537, P=0.009). Cox regression analysis showed higher parathyroid hormone (HR=1.013, 95%CI 1.007-1.019, P＜0.001), glomerular sclerosis ≥50% (HR=10.532, 95%CI 2.903-38.203, P＜0.001) were independent risk factors for AAV patients entering maintenance dialysis, and higher estimated glomerular filtration rate (HR=0.943, 95%CI 0.896-0.993, P=0.025) was protective factor. Conclusion The prognosis of AAV renal damage is worsened according to focal, mixed, crescent and sclerosis types. Lower estimated glomerular filtration rate, higher parathyroid hormone and glomerular sclerosis ≥50% are independent risk factors for AAV patients entering maintenance dialysis.

Dysregulation in nucleic acid‐sensing pathway genes is associated with cancer patients’ prognosis

The innate immune system, the first line of defense against pathogens, is activated by nucleic acids from microbial invaders that are recognized by nucleic acid‐sensing receptors. Recent evidence affirms the ability of these receptors to respond to nucleic acids released by damaged cancer cells. The innate immune system is also involved in cancer immunosurveillance, and could be modulated for devising effective antitumor therapies by targeting nucleic acid‐sensing pathways. A systematic, comprehensive analysis of dysregulation in nucleic acid‐sensing pathways in cancer is required to fully understand its role. Based on multidimensional data of The Cancer Genome Atlas pan‐cancer cohort, we revealed that upregulation of cytosolic DNA‐sensing genes like AIM2 and CGAS was common in tumor tissues. We used 15 genes in the nucleic acid‐sensing pathway to cluster all tumor patients into 2 subgroups and found that the subgroup with higher expression of nucleic acid‐sensing pathway genes was associated with poorer prognosis across cancer types. However, in homologous recombination deficient patients, the nucleic acid recognition activated subgroup was associated with better prognosis, which confirms the therapeutic effect of nucleic acid recognition. This study contributes to a better understanding of the functions and mechanisms of nucleic acid recognition in cancer, lays the foundation for new therapeutic strategies, and enlarges the scope of development of new drugs.
