成人骨性下颌偏斜患者与正常人下颌骨及颞下颌关节单光子发射型CT/CT同机融合骨显像的比较研究

目的 采用单光子发射型(single-photo Emission CT,SPECT)CT/CT同机融合骨显像技术对成人骨性下颌偏斜患者与正常人下颌骨及颞下颌关节的生长差异进行比较研究.方法 选取成人骨性下颌偏斜患者20例和正常成人志愿者15例,进行SPECT/CT同机融合骨扫描检查,以分析比较下颌偏斜患者与正常人两侧下颌骨及颞下颌关节骨血流和骨代谢的差异性.结果 成人骨性下颌偏斜患者下颌骨不同部位的骨血流和骨代谢存在特定性差异,正常人下颌骨不同部位的骨血流和骨代谢存在特定性差异;正常人下颌骨不同部位左右两侧放射性计数值比值均接近于1,对称性较好;与正常对照组相比,骨性下颌偏斜患者放射性强度均为对侧高于偏斜侧;髁状突差异最大(P＜0.01),其次为下颌角(P＜0.01),下颌升支中份差异最小(P＜0.05);不同部位两侧差异均有统计学意义.结论 SPECT/CT同机融合骨显像在精确解剖定位的基础上,能更加准确显示颞下颌关节的功能变化.

Abstract：

Objective To investigate mandible and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in adults with and without mandible deviation using SPECT/CT fusion imaging. Methods SPECT/CT fusion imaging over bilateral mandible and TMJ was performed in 20 adult patients with mandibular deviation and 15 adult volunteers without mandibular deviation. Results Compared with the control group, the radioactive intensity of contralateral side was higher than that of the deviated side in patients with mandibular deviation. The biggest difference was found in the condyle process (P＜0. 01) and the mandibular angle (P＜0. 01). Conclusions Based on accurate anatomical localization, SPECT/CT fusion imaging was very sensitive in detecting functional alteration in TMJ.

Objective To measure the bone mineral density(BMD)of mandible and investigate the relationship between mandible and the whole body skeleton BMD.Methods Healthy volunteers were recruited in north China,which were divided into 6 groups by age:≥20,≥30,≥40,≥50,≥60 and ≥70 years older,10 male and 10 female in each group.Dual-energy X-ray absoptiometery(DXA)was used to measure the BMD of the lumbar spine,the mentum of mandible and the mandibular angle.The results were analyzed statistically.Results The mineral density(MD )of the mentum was(1.310 9 ±0.035 5)g/cm2,the left mandibular angle(1.048 9 ± 0.013 7)g/cm2,the right mandibular angle (1.0547 ±0.014 1)g/cm2,the lumbar spine(L2-L4)(1.121 1±0.017 2)g/cm2.There was a significant difference in mandibular angle and lumbar MD between men and women(P＜0.05).The MD of mandibular angle and lumbar spine decreased significantly after 50 years of age.Conclusions The normal BMD of the mandibular mentum,mandibular angles and lumbar spine is obtained.The BMD of the mandibular angles is closely related to that of the lumbar spine.Mandible can be an appropriate measurement site in the evaluation of skeleton BMD status for the forecast of osteoporosis.

Mood and malignancy: head and neck cancer and depression

Head and neck cancer patients have been reported to show high rates of depression. However, it is important to differentiate between depressive symptoms and a depressive disorder. This review critically examines the relationship between head and neck cancer and depression. There appears to be little evidence for depression leading to an increased risk of developing cancer and although depressive symptoms in head and neck cancer patients are common, very few studies have investigated depressive disorders. The studies that investigated the incidence of a comorbid depressive disorder report a prevalence very close to that of the general population, implying that major depression is not a normal response to cancer. Finally, the evidence suggests that comorbidity of depression with cancer has a negative impact on morbidity and mortality. Both psychosocial and biological factors could account for this. Dysregulation of the stress hormone axis and increased inflammation are common in depressive disorders and have been suggested as underlying pathological mechanisms and are both markers of poor prognosis in cancer. This evidence suggests that a relatively small number of patients develop a depressive disorder following a diagnosis of cancer, but for those that do it may have a substantial impact on their prognosis.     

低氧和自噬与肿瘤的发生发展

自噬作为真核生物的一种应激调控机制,既可以促进肿瘤的发生发展,又可以抑制肿瘤的增殖。在肿瘤局部低氧的微环境下,低氧诱导因子-1α、哺乳动物雷帕霉素靶蛋白信号转导通路抑制、内质网应激均可促进自噬的发生。在肿瘤快速地发生发展过程中,肿瘤的糖代谢功能增强、活性氧族增多、窖蛋白1下调以及上皮间质转化的激活均诱导了自噬的发生并促进肿瘤的局部浸润、侵袭转移和耐药,因此,抑制自噬可能为肿瘤治疗提供一种新的策略。     

Survey of Australian and New Zealand Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery trainees and recent specialists--education and experience

This study examined the demographic characteristics, educational background and attitudes toward training of all recent OMS specialists and all current trainees in Australia and New Zealand in 1996. The early nineties is a key period as it marks the transition from an essentially dentally based speciality (85% dental degree in 1990); to recent specialists with an increasing number with both medical and dental degrees (33% dual degree 1990-1996); to predominantly dual degree training (84.4% dual in 1996). Current trainees had more extensive experience in pathology, preprosthetic and reconstructive surgery. They were also strongly critical of the length and cost of training.     

Open bite and and therapeutic strategy

Anterior open bites can be divided into two categories: skeletal and dento-alveolar. The etiology, basically affecting dento-alveolar structures, is functional or mechanical such as the rotation of the first higher molars, the exaggerated curve of Spee and the incisor supraclusion and the simple orthodontic treatment can bring a therapeutic success but functional rehabilitation remains the guaranty of such a stability of our treatment. The purpose of this work is to make a teaching article which puts the point on the interest of the elements of the diagnosis and the orthodontic treatment indicated in certain clinical situations of anterior open-bite; this by detailing biomechanics of correction of this anomaly requiring various therapeutic strategies. Functional rehabilitation remains always the guaranty of such a therapeutic stability. For the teaching aspect, we want to attach stereotypic forms and also to present clinical cases treated in the service of consultation and dental treatment in order to answer such a request.
