Aim: To describe differences in the deep lateral orbital wall (specifically, trigone) between Chinese, Malay, Indian and Caucasian subjects
Methods: Single-centre retrospective Computed Tomogram (CT)-based study; 20 subjects of each ethnicity were used from existing databases, matched for gender, average age and laterality. Subjects below 16 years of age were excluded. DICOM image viewing software CARESTREAM Vue PACS (Carestream Health Inc., USA) and OsiriX version 7.5 (Pixmeo., Switzerland) were used to measure deep lateral wall length, thickness and volume, as well as orbital depth and statistical analyses performed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 21 (IBM, USA).
Results: In each group, there were 12 males (60%) and average age was not significantly different (p = 0.682–0.987). Using Chinese subjects as a reference, in Chinese, Malay, Indian and Caucasian subjects, mean trigone thickness was 13.68, 14.02, 11.60 (p < 0.001) and 13.80 mm, curved total wall length 45.23, 42.29 (p = 0.048), 41.91 (p = 0.020) and 45.00 mm, curved trigone length 23.03, 22.61, 17.19 (p = 0.011) and 18.76 mm (p = 0.030) and trigone volume 3120.97, 3221.01, 1613.66 (p < 0.001), 2498.46 mm3 (p = 0.059) respectively. Similarly, perpendicular orbital depth was 27.54, 24.97, 22.12 (p = 0.001) and 25.93 mm and diagonal orbital depth was 34.19, 33.27, 29.48 (p = 0.01) and 34.63 mm respectively.
Conclusions: Indian and, to a lesser extent, Caucasian subjects have smaller trigones compared to their Chinese and Malay counterparts. Indian subjects also have shallower orbits and due care should be taken during decompression surgery. 相似文献
背景与目的:甲状腺乳头状癌(papillary thyroid carcinoma,PTC)和桥本甲状腺炎(Hashimoto’s thyroiditis,HT)的发病率均呈上升趋势,两者之间的关系已成为目前研究的热点。探讨PTC和HT之间的关系。方法:回顾性分析2014—2015年期间在中国科学院大学附属肿瘤医院头颈肿瘤外科行甲状腺癌手术治疗的首诊患者306例,术后病理学检查均明确诊断为PTC,其中术后病理学确诊伴发HT者42例,比较伴发HT与未伴发HT患者的临床病理学特征。结果:PTC患者女性发病年龄高于男性(46.2岁 vs 41.9岁)。相较于与未伴发HT的PTC患者,伴发HT的患者中女性比例更高(93% vs77%),中央区淋巴结数目较多[(5.0±3.4)枚 vs (2.5±2.7)枚],术前促甲状腺激素(thyroid-stimulating hormone,TSH)水平较高[(3.28±1.91)μU/mL vs (2.12±1.29)μU/mL],术前抗甲状腺过氧化物酶抗体(thyroid peroxidaseantibody,TPOAb)阳性率较高(55% vs 14%),术前甲状腺球蛋白抗体(thyroglobulin antibodies,TgAb)阳性率较高(69% vs 13%)。发生中央区淋巴结转移的患者中,中央区淋巴结转移数目与中央区淋巴结总数显著相关(Pearson相关系数=0.582)。多因素logistic回归分析发现,男性、低龄、被膜侵犯是PTC患者中央区淋巴结转移的独立危险因素。结论:伴发HT对PTC患者的预后无显著影响。伴发HT的PTC患者TSH水平显著偏高,提示HT可能是PTC发病风险因素之一。中央区淋巴结转移数目与中央区淋巴结总数相关,推测PTC淋巴结转移可能与淋巴结炎症反应相关。 相似文献
