objective: To observe the changes in the bilateral condyles after unilateral mandibular lengthening with distraction osteogenesis. Methods: Unilateral mandibular osteodistraction (DO) was performed in 8 goats. 4 animals were sacrificed at 8 and 16 weeks after completion of distraction respectively. The TMJ specimens were harvested and processed for histologic, histomorphometric and scanning electron microscopic (SEM) examinations. Results: Reversible adaptive remodeling in the condyles was observed following mandibular distraction at a rate of 1 mm/d. No degenerative changes in the TMJs were found after mandibular lengthening. Conclusion: Gradual distraction at a rate of 1 mm/day may not lead to degenerative change in condylar cartilage.

Objective To explore the effects of the cervical vertebra rehabilitation gymnastics on patients with different types of cervical spondylosis (CS). Methods 203 patients with different types of CS were selected. They were trained with rehabilitation gymnastics. The electrophysiological examination of neck-shoulder muscles were used to evaluate the effects 3 and 6 months after training. Results The peak of electrophysiological action potential of neck- shoulder muscles was significantly different in all the types of CS patients (P<0.001), as well as the conduction velocity of action potential (P<0.05) before and 3, 6 months after training. There was significantly different in scores of subjective symptoms in sympathetic cervical spondylosis and cervical spondylotic radiculopathy patients (P<0.001), but was not in the other types (P>0.05) before and 3, 6 months after training. Conclusion The cervical vertebra rehabilitation gymnastics can promote blood circulation of neck-shoulder muscles, relieve muscle spasm and ease the symptoms, especially for patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy and sympathetic cervical spondylosis.

Objective To evaluate the effect of transitional care intervention on quality of life for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods The Cochrane library, PubMed, Embase, Chinese biomedical literature database(CBM), Chinese scientific journals full-text database, Wanfang data were searched up to June 2015 to identify randomized controlled trials(RCTs) comparing continuity of patient care with conventional treatment.The data were analyzed using Revman 5.2 software. Results 26 RCTs involving 2 443 participants were included.The results of Meta-analysis showed continuity of care couldreduce the scores of The COPD Assessment Test [ SMD=-2.24, 95%CI=(-3.52--0.96), P<0.01],and St George′s Respiratory Questionnaire [SMD=-0.26, 95%CI(-0.50--0.02), P≤0.05], and could improve the scores of Chronic Respiratory Disease Questionnaires [SMD=0.46, 95%CI(0.08-0.84), P≤0.05]. Conclusions Transitional care can improve the quality of life of patients with COPD.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility of predicting lateral cervical lymph node metastasis (LLNM) in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) based on the nomogram constructed by dual-energy CT data.Methods:In total 417 patients with PTC confirmed by pathology in Tianjin First Central Hospital from January 2015 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed as a training group. Internal validation was conducted, including 139 patients in the LLNM group and 278 patients in the non-LLNM group. A total of 169 PTC patients from January 2019 to June 2020 were included as an external validation group, including 58 patients in the LLNM group and 111 patients in the non-LLNM group. The morphological characteristics of the primary thyroid lesions on dual-energy CT iodine maps were analyzed, including tumor location, maximum diameter, calcification, and extrathyroidal extension (ETE). Iodine concentration (IC) of the PTC parenchyma and the internal carotid artery on the same level in the arterial and venous phases were measured, and normalized iodine concentration (NIC) was calculated. The independent risk factors for LLNM were obtained by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Base on the results, a prediction model was constructed and expressed in the form of a nomogram. The internal and external validation of the model was carried out using ROC curve.Results:Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis showed that the lesion location in the upper polar of the thyroid, the presence of ETE, IC in arterial phase>2.9 mg/ml, IC in the venous phase>3.2 mg/ml, and NIC in the arterial phase>0.21 were independent risk factors for LLNM prediction. The nomogram based on the above factors was constructed with an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.895 (95%CI 0.862-0.923). With a cut-off value of 0.79, the sensitivity and specificity were 86.3% and 75.2%, respectively. As for the external validation group, the AUC of the model was 0.887 (95%CI 0.830-0.931), with the sensitivity of 82.8%, and the specificity of 81.1%.Conclusion:The application values of the nomogram model based on dual-energy CT data in preoperative evaluation of the possibility of LLNM of PTC patients has been verified. The model constructed in this study might be helpful with the individualized treatment in a certain degree.
