Reconstruction of palatomaxillary defects following cancer ablation with temporalis muscle flap in medically compromised patients: a 15-year single institutional experience

Objectives

Successful reconstruction of palatomaxillary defects following cancer ablation represents a formidable challenge for surgeons to achieve consistently favorable outcomes. The purpose of this article is to present our experience in oncologic palatomaxillary repair with temporalis muscle flap (TMF) for medically compromised patients who are not ideal candidates for microvascular reconstruction at a Chinese tertiary referral hospital over a 15-year period (1998–2012).

Method

A retrospective chart review was performed to identify patients with compromised medical conditions who underwent oncologic palatomaxillary reconstruction using TMF. Patients’ demographics, clinicopathological variables, and surgical techniques were presented. Postoperative functional and aesthetic outcomes were assessed by measurements and patients self-evaluations.

Results

Sixty-nine TMFs were successfully harvested and used for immediate oncologic palatomaxillary reconstruction in 67 patients (31 males and 36 females, mean age 60.4 years) with diverse primary malignancies. These patients’ co-morbidities included systemic diseases, preoperative chemotherapy/radiotherapy, and elder over 65 years which precluded the ideal utility of free flaps. Fifty-one patients remained alive without disease, while nine had recurrences/metastases and seven died during the follow-up (0.5–10.4 years, mean 3.7 years). All flaps survived with only partial necroses in four cases. Complications and donor-site morbidities were minimal with five transient facial paralysis and four mild diplopia and enophthalmos. Unrestricted diet and mouth opening, intelligible speech, and satisfactory temporal aesthetics were obtained in most patients.

Conclusion

The TMF is a reliable, versatile, and alternative option for oncologic palatomaxillary reconstruction with satisfactory functional and aesthetic outcomes and minimal complications, especially when appropriately selected for those medically compromised patients.     

Increased frequency of CD4+ CD25+ FOXP3+ cells correlates with the progression of 4-nitroquinoline1-oxide-induced rat tongue carcinogenesis

Objectives

CD4+ CD25+ FoxP3+ T cells (Tregs) play an essential role in sustaining self-tolerance by negatively regulating immune responses. Increased frequencies of Tregs have been reported in a variety of human cancers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of Tregs infiltration in the peripheral blood and regional lymph nodes during rat tongue carcinogenesis induced by 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide (4NQO).

Materials and methods

Forty-eight Sprague–Dawley rats were divided into the control (n?=?16) and experimental groups (n?=?32) to which 4NQO in drinking water was administered. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the prevalence of Tregs in lymphocytes of peripheral blood and regional lymph nodes during 4NQO-induced rat tongue carcinogenesis. CD4+ CD25+ FoxP3+ cells were expressed as a percentage of the total CD4+ cells.

Results

The frequency of Tregs in peripheral blood from squamous cell carcinoma rats was significantly higher than controls (3.82?±?0.62 versus 1.40?±?0.31 %, P?P?Conclusion and clinical relevance Tregs in peripheral blood and lymph nodes were associated with disease progression during 4NQO-induced rat tongue carcinogenesis. This study indicated that the upregulation of Tregs might play important role during oral mucosa malignant transformation.     

Biomechanical evaluation of maxillary Lefort Ι fracture with bioabsorbable osteosynthesis internal fixation

The aim of this study was to apply biomechanical analysis model to evaluate the effects of bioabsorbable internal fixation devices on maxillary Lefort Ι fracture. CT scan technology and the finite element software (ansys ) were used to establish three‐dimensional finite element models of five resorbable internal fixation devices in maxillary Lefort Ι fractures. We used the model to calculate the stress of the upper jaw and internal fixation. We further analyzed the stability of fixation under four occlusions. The fixation using two bioabsorbable plates was not stable. The zygomaticomaxillary pillars fixation is more stable than other fixations. The stability of fracture fixation was influenced with the molar occlusion. The current study developed a functional three‐dimensional finite element model of bioabsorbable internal fixation and compared the stability of five fixation methods for maxillary Lefort Ι fractures. The results would facilitate the application of bioabsorbable materials in dental clinic.

Apoptosis of human tongue squamous cell carcinoma cell (CAL-27) induced by Lactobacillus sp. A-2 metabolites

Objective

To study the effect of Lactobacillus sp. A-2 metabolites on viability of CAL-27 cells and apoptosis in CAL-27 cells.

Methods

Lactobacillus sp. A-2 metabolites 1 and 2 (LM1 and LM2) were obtained by culturing Lactobacillus sp. A-2 in reconstituted whey medium and whey-inulin medium; the cultured CAL-27 cells were treated with different concentrations of LM1 and LM2 (0, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 mg/mL) and assayed by methyl thiazolyltetrazolium (MTT) method; morphological changes of apoptotic cell were observed under fluorescence microscopy by acridine orange (Ao) fluorescent staining; flow cytometry method (FCM) and agarose gel electrophoresis were used to detect the apoptosis of CAL-27 cells treated LM1 and LM2.

Results

The different concentrations of LM1 and LM2 could restrain the growth of CAL-27 cells, and in a dose-dependent manner; the apoptosis of CAL-27 cells was obviously induced and was time-dependent.

Conclusions

Viability of CAL-27 cells was inhibited by Lactobacillus sp. A-2 metabolites; Lactobacillus sp. A-2 metabolites could induce CAL-27 cells apoptosis; study on the bioactive compounds in the Lactobacillus sp. A-2 metabolites and their molecular mechanism is in progress.
