Quantitative efficacy of external and internal browpexy performed in conjunction with blepharoplasty
Ali Mokhtarzadeh Guy G. Massry Elena Bitrian Andrew R. Harrison 《Orbit (Amsterdam, Netherlands)》2017,36(2):102-109
Browpexy surgery is a minimally invasive surgical adjunct to upper blepharoplasty. The traditional internal (IB) approach is well documented, while the newer external (EB) variant has only recently been described. To date, there is little quantitative data to evaluate the efficacy of either procedure, and no data to compare results between the two. We determine the efficacy of, and compare surgical results between, internal and external browpexy surgery in lifting the central and lateral brow. A 3.5-year retrospective review of patients undergoing internal and external browpexy surgery to assess the amount of central and lateral lift to the brow was performed. Patients undergoing blepharoplasty without brow lift were used as a control group. The Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary FACE-gram program was used to quantify surgical outcome. Ninety-eight patients are included for review, with an average follow-up of 4–5 months. The average elevation in lateral/central brow position was 2.29 mm and 1.47 mm in the IB group, and 2.97 mm and 1.90 mm in the EB group. These were not statistically significant (p = 0.164, and p = 0.507, respectively). There was a statistically significant elevation in central and lateral brow height for both browpexy techniques and the control group (p < 0.001). External and internal browpexy surgery afford a similar, and non-statistically different, elevation of the central and lateral brow at 4–5 months. When compared to standalone blepharoplasty (control) the amount of lift for both procedures is statistically significant. 相似文献

MurG is an essential glycosyltransferase that forms the glycosidic linkage between N-acetyl muramyl pentapeptide and N-acetyl glucosamine in the biosynthesis of the bacterial cell wall. This enzyme is a member of a major superfamily of NDP-glycosyltransferases for which no x-ray structures containing intact substrates have been reported. Here we present the 2.5-A crystal structure of Escherichia coli MurG in complex with its donor substrate, UDP-GlcNAc. Combined with genomic analysis of other superfamily members and site-specific mutagenesis of E. coli MurG, this structure sheds light on the molecular basis for both donor and acceptor selectivity for the superfamily. This structural analysis suggests that it will be possible to evolve new glycosyltransferases from prototypical superfamily members by varying two key loops while maintaining the overall architecture of the family and preserving key residues. 相似文献

Objectives To determine the toxicity window for the continuous intrathecal administration of dextrorphan, dextromethorphan, and memantine via an implanted delivery pump. Materials and Methods Using 48 sheep with programmable continuous intrathecal infusion systems we determined the behavioral, motor, neurological, and histopathological changes produced by a 43-day continuous infusion study of dextrorphan, dextromethorphan, and memantine dissolved in 0.9% NaCl. Daily doses of each N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonist were 0.013, 0.051, 0.203, 0.510, 0.811, and 2.533 mg/kg/day, flow rates ranged from 13.25 ml/day to 0.051 ml/day at a concentration of 10 mg/ml. Control animals received saline in the range of 7.9985 ml/day to 1 ml/day. Conclusions Infusion of saline in the control animals produced no behavioral or motor changes. However, infusion of dextrorphan, dextromethorphan, and memantine at the higher doses (> 0.051 mg/kg/day) produced dose-dependent negative behavioral, motor, and histopathologic changes as indicated by a series of nonparametric statistical analyses. The minimal toxic doses were dextrorphan dose 3, dextromethorphan dose 1 and memantine dose 1. This study suggests that continuous intrathecal infusion of dextrorphan, dextromethorphan, and memantine via an implantable pump system can cause significant toxicities at the higher doses studied. 相似文献

The clinico-anatomic explanation for tibial intraneural ganglion cysts arising from the superior tibiofibular joint 总被引:4,自引:4,他引:0

OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate that tibial intraneural ganglia in the popliteal fossa are derived from the posterior portion of the superior tibiofibular joint, in a mechanism similar to that of peroneal intraneural ganglia, which have recently been shown to arise from the anterior portion of the same joint. DESIGN: Retrospective clinical study and prospective anatomic study. MATERIALS: The clinical records and MRI findings of three patients with tibial intraneural ganglion cysts were analyzed and compared with those of one patient with a tibial extraneural ganglion cyst and one volunteer. Seven cadaveric limbs were dissected to define the articular anatomy of the posterior aspect of the superior tibiofibular joint. RESULTS: The condition of the three patients with intraneural ganglia recurred because their joint connections were not identified initially. In two patients there was no cyst recurrence when the joint connection was treated at revision surgery; the third patient did not wish to undergo additional surgery. The one patient with an extraneural ganglion had the joint connection identified at initial assessment and had successful surgery addressing the cyst and the joint connection. Retrospective evaluation of the tibial intraneural ganglion cysts revealed stereotypic features, which allowed their accurate diagnosis and distinction from extraneural cases. The intraneural cysts had tubular (rather than globular) appearances. They derived from the postero-inferior portion of the superior tibiofibular joint and followed the expected course of the articular branch on the posterior surface of the popliteus muscle. The cysts then extended intra-epineurially into the parent tibial nerves, where they contained displaced nerve fascicles. The extraneural cyst extrinsically compressed the tibial nerve but did not directly involve it. All cadaveric specimens demonstrated a small single articular branch, which derived from the tibial nerve to the popliteus. The branch coursed obliquely across the posterior surface of the popliteus muscle before innervating the postero-inferior aspect of the superior tibiofibular joint. CONCLUSIONS: The clinical, MRI and anatomic features of tibial intraneural ganglion cysts are the posterior counterpart of the peroneal intraneural ganglion cysts arising from the anterior portion of the superior tibiofibular joint. These predictable features can be exploited and have implications for the pathogenesis of these intraneural cysts and treatment outcomes. These ganglion cysts are joint-related and provide further evidence to support the unifying articular theory. In each case the joint connection needs to be identified preoperatively, and the articular branches and the superior tibiofibular joint should be addressed operatively to prevent cyst recurrence. 相似文献

The post-traumatic changes of leukotrienes LTC4, LTD4, LTE4, and LTB4 in cerebrospinal fluid of rats from 10 min to 7 days were investigated after controlled cortical impact in relation to brain edema and cellular inflammatory response. LTC4 increased five-fold at 4 h, normalized at 24 h, and showed another four-fold increase at 7 days. The same pattern was observed for LTD4 and LTE4. LTB4 however, behaved differently: concentrations were lower and levels peaked two-fold at 24 h. Edema in the injured hemisphere increased continuously up to 24 h without change contralaterally. Leukocyte infiltration, macrophage presence and microglia activation were most prominent at 24 h, 7 days and 24 h respectively. Leukotriene changes in CSF seem to reflect those in the affected tissue, with a time delay and in lower concentrations, and were not linearly correlated to brain edema. The initially high leukotriene levels are rather likely to contribute to the cytotoxic edema than to enhance a vasogenic edema component. The profile of LTB4 was parallel to the time course of leukocyte infiltration, indicating initiation of infiltration as well as prolonged production by leukocytes themselves. The second leukotriene peak at 7 days is likely to follow a different pathway and might be related to a production in macrophages or activated glia. 相似文献
