??Objective To compare the short-term clinical effect of different degrees of wear in the posterior area of the implant denture. Methods From January 2009 to December 2013??469 patients??the average age was 50.9??with partial loss of posterior teeth were followed up for 6 - 72 months. According to the degree of wear of natural teeth??they were divided into three groups??the non-wear group of 201 cases??457 implants????163 cases in mild-wear group??289 implants????105 cases in severe-wear group??235 implants??. The five-year cumulative survival rates of implants in the three groups were counted and the numerical values of bone resorption around the implants were measured. Results Three groups of patients had no implant loss??the 5-year retention rate was 100%??there was no significant difference in bone resorption at the end of 3 months??6 months??1 year and 2 years after the repair??P > 0.05????there was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications??P > 0.05??. Conclusion In short time??the patients with mild wear and severe wear can have good clinical effect??whereas long-term effect need to be followed up. 相似文献
ObjectiveThis study was performed to investigate the baseline serum titanium levels in patients with short-segment titanium alloy posterior instrumentation and to assess patient-, implant-, and surgery-related factors that might affect the serum titanium level.MethodTwo groups of patients were included in the study. The study group comprised 39 patients who had undergone short-segment posterior instrumentation from January 2013 to June 2016. The control group comprised 11 randomly selected patients who presented to the outpatient clinic with no history of orthopedic surgery. The serum titanium levels and inter-group differences were analyzed.ResultsThe mean serum titanium level was significantly higher in the study group than in the control group. No significant difference was observed between patients with different etiologies, implants used for fusion, numbers of instrumented segments, or postoperative durations.ConclusionThe serum titanium levels of patients with posterior lumbar spinal instrumentation are significantly higher than those of the normal population even after achievement of solid fusion. These levels are not affected by the use of transverse connectors, the use of cages, the operated segments, or the duration of implants. 相似文献
The aim of the review is to describe the different techniques and materials available to reconstruct the tarsoconjunctival layer of the eyelid; to analyze their indications, advantages, and disadvantages.
We searched the Cochrane, PubMed, and Ovid MEDLINE databases for English articles published between January 1990 and January 2017 using variations of the following key words: “posterior lamella,” “eyelid reconstruction,” “tarsoconjunctival,” “flap,” and “graft.” Two reviewers checked the abstracts of the articles found to eliminate redundant or not relevant articles. The references of the identified articles were screened manually to include relevant works not found through the initial search.
The search identified 174 articles. Only a few articles with a therapeutic level of evidence were found. Techniques for the posterior lamellar reconstruction can be categorized as local, regional, and distant flaps; tarsoconjunctival, heterotopic, homologous, and heterologous grafts. Several techniques and variations on the techniques exist to reconstruct the posterior lamella, and, for similar indications, there’s no evidence of the primacy of one over the other. Defect size and location as well as patient features must guide the oculoplastic surgeon’s choice. The use of biomaterials can avoid possible complications of the donor site. 相似文献
The present study examined the activity levels of the thoracic and lumbar extensor muscles during different extension exercise modalities in healthy individuals. Therefore, 14 subjects performed four different types of extension exercises in prone position: dynamic trunk extension, dynamic–static trunk extension, dynamic leg extension, and dynamic–static leg extension. Pre‐ and post‐exercise muscle functional magnetic resonance imaging scans from the latissimus dorsi, the thoracic and lumbar parts of the longissimus, iliocostalis, and multifidus were performed. Differences in water relaxation values (T2‐relaxation) before and after exercise were calculated (T2‐shift) as a measure of muscle activity and compared between extension modalities. Linear mixed‐model analysis revealed higher lumbar extensor activity during trunk extension compared with leg extension (T2‐shift of 5.01 ms and 3.55 ms, respectively) and during the dynamic–static exercise performance compared with the dynamic exercise performance (T2‐shift of 4.77 ms and 3.55 ms, respectively). No significant differences in the thoracic extensor activity between the exercises could be demonstrated. During all extension exercises, the latissimus dorsi was the least activated compared with the paraspinal muscles. While all extension exercises are equivalent effective to train the thoracic muscles, trunk extension exercises performed in a dynamic–static way are the most appropriate to enhance lumbar muscle strength. 相似文献
Minimally invasive approaches to total hip arthroplasty have received much attention from both the lay press as well as the orthopaedic community. The potential for enhanced recovery and improved pain control in the perioperative period are in high demand from patients. We present a transgluteal approach to total hip arthroplasty as an alternative to the direct anterior approach that has the potential to maintain all of the possible benefits of a soft tissue sparing approach with a lower risk profile. 相似文献
