Clinical course of masticatory function recovery following arthrocentesis in patients with unilateral mandibular condyle head fracture

The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical course of masticatory function recovery following arthrocentesis. Patients with a unilateral condylar head fracture who underwent arthrocentesis for therapeutic reasons were evaluated and compared with patients with a unilateral condylar head fracture who did not undergo arthrocentesis. At 3 months after treatment, the occlusal contact area and maximum bite force in patients with a fracture treated with arthrocentesis were greater than in those who did not receive arthrocentesis at the same time points, although the differences were not significant. Moreover, at 1 and 3 months following arthrocentesis, mean (±SD) occlusal contact area (1 month: 1.99 ± 0.55 mm², p = 0.01; 3 months: 2.90 ± 1.36 mm², p = 0.03) and maximum bite force (1 month: 82.45 ± 15.04 N, p = 0.01; 3 months: 101.11 ± 14.53 N, p = 0.01) on the fractured side in patients who underwent that treatment were significantly reduced when compared with those on the non-fractured side. The authors conclude that if the priority is to avoid open reduction and internal fixation, then the arthrocentesis approach might be a less invasive alternative, albeit with the price of a prolonged healing interval.     

平面导板在深覆(牙合)矫治中的临床应用研究

目的：探讨平面导板矫治重度深覆[牙合]患者的作用机制及临床作用要点。方法：对18名生长发育期的重度深覆[牙合]患者,用平面导板来打开咬合,并对咬合打开前后的硬软组织变化进行分析。结果：①上下后牙及牙槽高度均增加,下后牙及牙槽高度的增加值大于上后牙及牙槽高度的增加值,而对前牙及牙槽高度的影响无统计学差异;②上下颌骨在水平方向上无改变,但下颌平面角与下面高/全面高治疗后较治疗前增大,后面高/前面高治疗后较治疗前减小;③覆[牙合]减小,Spee氏曲线得到整平;④松弛的下唇肌肉得到紧张,从而改善了侧貌外形。结论：平面导板使覆[牙合]减小主要是后牙及后牙齿槽突高度增加的结果,对生长发育期的低角重度深覆[牙合]患者治疗效果较好。     

带蒂胸腹轴型皮瓣早期修复上肢深度蛇伤溃疡

总结胸腹轴型皮瓣早期修复上肢不同部位的深度蛇伤溃疡的经验，评价其应用价值。本组１６例，胸脐皮瓣２例，侧胸腹皮瓣１例，髂腰皮瓣５例，下腹皮瓣６例，下腹分叶皮瓣１例，髂腰加下腹Ｙ形皮瓣１例。术后１例皮瓣远端坏死，３例轻度感染，１６例断蒂后全部成活。随访３个月～７年，皮瓣质地和弹性均好，手功能基本恢复。认为，带蒂胸腹轴型皮瓣是修复上肢深度蛇伤溃疡理想的方法。     

开（牙合）患者舌位置变化研究

目的：研究开He患者的舌位置有无特征性变异。方法：利用舌背碘油造影方法，增加头颅侧位定位X线片上舌背的显影效果，在头颅侧位定位X线片上以舌体在固有口腔内的相对位置确定舌体的位置，通过开He与正常He者知位置的团体t检验比较，找出开He患者的舌位置变异特性。结果：开He患者与正常He者比较，舌根部与悬雍垂之间的间隙增大，舌背部与腭表面之间的间隙减小，舌尖部更靠近牙齿，结论：开He个体相对于正常He个体舌位置有向前，向上的变化特点，这可能是开He的病因之一。

Failure of intramuscular antivenom in Red‐back spider envenoming

Four cases of Red‐back spider envenoming are reported in which there was minimal response to intramuscular antivenom. Intravenous antivenom was then administered in each case with almost complete resolution of symptoms. All cases were followed up to confirm the effect of treatment. This failure of intramuscular Red‐back antivenom raises the question of its efficacy. There has been no controlled trial to prove that intramuscular Red‐back antivenom is effective and animal work with other antivenoms has demonstrated the intramuscular formulation to have delayed and incomplete effects. Controlled studies should be undertaken to establish the effectiveness of intravenous and intramuscular Red‐back antivenom.

Oral function in patients wearing fixed prosthesis on osseointegrated implants in the maxilla: 3-year follow-up study

Seventeen consecutive selected patients rehabilitated by means of a full maxillary bridge on osseointegrated implants ad modem Brånemark were evaluated over a 3-yr period. Besides a subjective evaluation by means of a questionnaire an examination of the occlusal relationship, chewing force, chewing efficiency and interocclusal threshold level was performed before, immediately after, 3–6 months after, and finally 3 yr after bridge installation. All subjects were very pleased with the oral rehabilitation. The chewing force and the chewing efficiency development increased over time, while the threshold level for interocclusal detection remained unchanged. The clinical dysfunction index according to Helkimo indicated that there was no marked change in signs of dysfunction of the patients' masticatory systems during the observation period. From the present longitudinal investigation one can conclude that the replacement of a full maxillary denture with a fixed prosthesis on osseointegrated implants, facing a natural dentition or an osseointegrated implant supported bridge in the opposite jaw, leads to a progressive increase of chewing efficiency and chewing force, and a constant subjective improvement of jaw function, while no masticatory dysfunction seems to occur during the observation period.
