BACKGROUND:Aclassical orthognathic schemefor mandibular prognathism includespreoperative cephalometric analysis,acquiring modulus, facebow transfer, modelsurgery, making occlusion plate.This process is cumbersome,complex,andproneto have bias. Moreover, orthognathic effects are difficult to be predicted, which is a majordifficultyindoctor-patientcommunication.
OBJECTIVE:To summarize and analyze the use of three-dimensional scanning techniques in the treatmentand diagnosisof mandibular prognathism, including principle, application and relative merits, thusprovidingreference forapplying to theclinic.
METHODS:Papers addressing the use of three-dimensional scanning techniques in thediagnosisand treatment of mandibular prognathism were retrieved by computer in Wanfang and PubMed databases with the key words of “three-dimensional scanning, class III,orthognathic, mandibular prognathism” in Chinese and English, respectively. A total of 48papers were included for review.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the traditional technology,the three-dimensional scanning technology has high accuracy and efficiency in the diagnosis and treatment of mandibular prognathism, and candirectlycapture the 3D geometry of objects for modeling, colection and measurement of biological data, which provides a reliable monitoring method for postoperative assessment andfolow-up. Compared with the CT,thethree-dimensional scanning technology cannot show the internal structure and separate hard and soft tissues, which should be reasonably chosen according to practical data.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of Lugol solution staining combined with nar-row band imaging (NBI)for esophageal cancer and precancerous lesions.Methods From December 201 3 to December 2014,1 87 patients who were with suspicious esophageal lesions and stained with Lugol solution under endoscopy were selected as control group,while from January 2015 to June 2015,124 patients who were with sus-picious esophageal lesions and examined with Lugol solution staining and NBI under endoscopy were selected as observation group.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy between the two groups were compared and analyzed. Results One hundred and four cases (75.0%)were found among observation group,which was higher than 93 cases (55.6%)among control group (χ2 =12.07,P <0.01 ).The total detection rates of esophageal cancer and high grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGN)were 29.0% and 17.7% in observation group respectively,which were higher than 1 8.2% and 6.4% in control group (χ2 =4.15,P =0.04;χ2 =8.54,P <0.01 ).The Kappa value in observation group was 0.55,which was higher than 0.36 in control group.The sensitivity and accuracy in observation group were 89.9% and 82.3% respectively,which were significantly higher than 71 .8% and 68.4% in control group (χ2 =9.79,P <0.01 ;χ2 =7.38,P <0.01 ).Conclusion The sensitivity and accuracy of endoscopic Lugol solution staining combined with NBI for esophageal cancer and precancerous lesions are higher than Lugol solution staining,and it is worthy to popularize the application of Lugol solution staining com-bined with NBI in diagnosing esophageal cancer and precancerous lesions.

Mitochondrial calcium homeostasis plays a key role in maintaining various cellular characteristics and mediating cellular physiological function and pathological processes .Although it has long been known that mitochondria takes up Ca2+, the molecular identities of the channels and transporters involved in this process are revealed only recently . Here, we review the structure and function of the channel-forming subunit, mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) and its regulators, which include MICU1, MICU2, and MCUR1.

BACKGROUND:Brain-derived neurotrophic factor has been detected in bone and tooth, and its role in development and metabolism of bone and tooth tissue as wel as its clinical application has become a hot spot. OBJECTIVE: To summarize and analyze the effect and mechanism of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in development and metabolism of bone and tooth tissues. METHODS: Papers addressing the effect of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in bone and tooth tissue were retrieved by computer in Wanfang and PubMed databases with the key words of “brain-derived neurotrophic factor, TrkB, p75NTR, signaling, bone, tooth, osteoblasts, osteoclasts” in Chinese and English, respectively. A total of 53 papers were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Brain-derived neurotrophic factor can be detected in various tissuesin vivo, and can regulate cel survival and apoptosis through binding its two receptors. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor in bone and tooth tissue can bind to target cels, induce or inhibit cel proliferation and differentiation, indicating that brain-derived neurotrophic factor is closely linked to bone and tooth tissue, and may play a role in growth and reconstruction of bone and tooth. Its mechanism of action is mainly through binding to TrkB receptor, to activate downstream pathways and affect differentiation and proliferation of mesenchymal stem cels, osteoblasts, chondrocytes, and periodontal ligament cels. Interaction between p75NTR receptor and TrkB receptor may be one of the factors affecting cel differentiation or proliferation.

Objective The increased use of high-resolution ultrasound (US) for thyroid disease has markedly increased the detection rate of nonpalpable thyroid nodules .The objective of this study was to investigate the diagnostic value of conventional ultrasonography, ultrasonic elastography(UE) and combined application of both in the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules. Methods A retrospective analysis was made on 105 patients with 160 histologically proved thyroid nodules from September 2014 and August 2015 in our hospital.The receiver operating characteristic ( ROC) curve analysis was made on Thyroid Imaging Repor-ting and Data System ( TI-RADS) score, elastography score and the score of combined application.The area under curve ( AUC) was calculated and compared to select the best cut-off value in order to work out the respective diagnostic efficacy of 3 methods and Kappa consistence check with pathologic results . Results In ROC curve analysis, AUC of combination score(0.930, 95%CI:0.890-0.969) was higher than those of TI-RADS score(0.855, 95%CI:0.794-0.915) and elasticity score(0.845, 95%CI:0.780-0.909), and the difference was statistically significant (Z=2.20, 2.03, P<0.05) .Taking TI-RADS score≥4, elastography score≥3, and combination score≥7 as the limitation to diagnose ma-lignant thyroid nodules, the specificity and PPV of combination score(94.3%, 95%CI:0.867-0.979;91.7%, 95%CI:0.809-0.969) were higher than those of TI-RADS score(78.4%, 95%CI:0.681-0.862;84.7%, 95%CI:0.692-0.886) and e-lasticity score(81.8%, 95%CI:0.719-0.889;78.7%,95%CI:0.674-0.870).Kappa value of combination score(0.718, 95%CI:0.610-0.826) was higher than that of TI-RADS score(0.586, 95%CI:0.461-0.711) and elasticity score(0.635, 95%CI:0.515-0.755). Conclusion Conventional ultrasonography and UE are mutual complementation, and the application of conventional ultrasonography combined with UE has higher value than single examination in the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules.
