Objective To discuss the 3D printing modeling used to assist minimally invasive fixation with hollow screws for unstable pelvic fractures.Methods From January 2014 to January 2016,137 patients with unstable pelvic fracture received minimally invasive fixation with hollow screws and obtained complete follow-up at our department.In 65 of them,the fixation was assisted by 3D printing modeling;they were 37 men and 28 women,with an average age of 33.1 ± 4.9 years.In the other 72 cases,conventional fixation was performed without assistance of 3D printing modeling;they were 45 men and 27 women,with an average age of 32.6 ±4.7 years.The 2 groups were compared in terms of operation time,frequency of intraoperative fluoroscopy,reduction quality and curative effect.Results This cohort were followed up for 6 to 15 months (average,9 months).The 3D printing modeling group needed significantly less operation time (58.6 ± 13.4 min) and intraoperative fluoroscopy (29.3 ± 3.6 frequencies) than the conventional group (72.4 ± 12.4 min and 36.6 ± 2.8 frequencies) (P < 0.05).According to the Matta scoring criteria,the quality of pelvic reduction was evaluated as excellent in 21 cases,as good in 30 cases,as fair in 13 cases and as poor in one in the 3D printing group,yielding an excellent and good rate of 78.5% while as excellent in 22 cases,as good in 36 cases,as fair in 12 cases and as poor in 2 cases in the conventional group,yielding an excellent and good rate of 80.6%.According to the Majeed scoring criteria,the curative effect was evaluated at the last follow-up as excellent in 27 cases,as good in 26 cases,as fair in 11 cases and poor in one in the 3D printing group,giving an excellent and good rate of 81.5% while as excellent in 30 cases,as good in 28 cases,as fair in 13 cases and as poor in one in the conventional group,giving an excellent and good rate of 80.6%.There were no statistically significant differences between the 2 groups in reduction quality or curative effect (P > 0.05).No nonunion or iatrogenic neurovascular lesions happened during the follow-up period.Conclusion 3D-printing modeling is helpful for a good reduction and minimally invasive fixation with hollow screws for unstable pelvic fractures by reducing operation time and intraoperative fluoroscopy.

Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of laboratory examination in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) for interstitial lung disease (ILD) and its application value in assessing the degree of fibrosis in the disease.Methods:Retrospective analysis. The clinical data of ILD patients treated in Shanghai First People′s Hospital from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023[104 cases, male︰female=48︰56, (62.79±1.24) years] were collected. According to the imaging scores, they were divided into a mild fibrosis ILD group [53 cases, male︰female=26︰27, (61.32±1.71) years] and a moderate to severe ILD fibrosis group [51 cases, male︰female=22︰29, (64.31±1.88) years]. Patients with community-acquired pneumonia without fibrotic lesions by HRCTduring the same period were selected as the control group [49 cases, male︰female=25︰24, (65.37±1.65)years]. The clinical information of all study subjects, as well as BALF lymphocyte subset analysis, cytokine and cytology count detection results were collected. Furthermore, the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to screen the differential indexes, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the differential indexes to assess the degree of ILD pulmonary fibrosis.Results:Compared with the non-fibrotic pneumonia group, IL-6, IL-8, CD4+CD45RO+cells and macrophages (M%) were significantly upregulated in the mild fibrosis ILD group (P<0.05), and significantly higher in the moderate to severe fibrosis ILD group ( P<0.05). Compared with the non-fibrotic pneumonia group, IL-1β and white blood cell (WBC) count were significantly upregulated only in the moderate to severe fibrotic ILD group ( P<0.05). The correction model was constructed by stepwise logistic regression analysis, and the differential indexes were combined, and the proportion of IL-1β+IL-6+IL-8+CD4+CD45RO+cells+macrophages was finally screened as the optimal combined diagnostic mode, with an area under the curve of 0.925, sensitivity of 92.3%, and specificity of 80.0%. Conclusion:Compared with the non-fibrotic pneumonia group, BALF-derived IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, CD4+CD45RO+cells, WBC count and M% can be used as potential biomarkers to assess the degree of fibrosis, and the combination of IL-1β+IL-6+IL-8+CD4+CD45RO+cells+macrophages has a better diagnostic efficacy for moderate to severe fibrotic ILD.

Important anatomical structures such as mandibular incisive canal,tongue foramen,and mouth floor vessels may be damaged during implant surgery in the mandibular anterior region,which may lead to mouth floor hematoma,asphyxia,pain,paresthesia and other symptoms.In severe cases,this can be life-threatening.The insufficient alveolar bone space and the anatomical variation of blood vessels and nerves in the mandibular anterior region increase the risk of blood vessel and nerve injury during implant surgery.In case of vascular injury,airway control and hemostasis should be performed,and in case of nerve injury,implant removal and early medical treatment should be performed.To avoid vascular and nerve injury during implant surgery in the mandibular anterior region,it is necessary to be familiar with the anatomical structure,take cone-beam computed tomography,design properly before surgery,and use digital technology during surgery to achieve accurate implant placement.This article summarizes the anatomical structure of the mandibular anterior region,discusses the prevention strategies of vascular and nerve injuries in this region,and discusses the treatment methods after the occurrence of vascular and nerve injuries,to provide clinical reference.

The canalis sinuosus,a canal containing the anterior superior alveolar nerve bundle,originates from the infraorbital canal and extends along the maxillary sinus and nasal cavity edges to the anterior maxilla.It was once regarded as an anatomical variation.However,with the widespread application of cone beam computed tomography(CBCT),the detection rate of canalis sinuosus in the population has increased.The canalis sinuosus exhibits diverse courses,branching into multiple accessory canals and terminating at the nasal floor or the anterior tooth region,with the majority traversing the palatal side of the central incisor.The anterior superior alveolar nerve bundle within the canalis sinuosus not only innervates and nourishes the maxillary anterior teeth and the corresponding soft tissues,and the maxillary sinus mucosa,but also relates to the nasal septum,lateral nasal wall,and parts of the palatal mucosa.To minimize surgical complications,strategies for preventing and treating canalis sinuosus injuries need to be investigated.Preoperatively,CBCT is used to identify the canalis sinuosus and to virtually design implant placement at a distance of more than 2 mm from the canalis sinuosus.Intraoperatively,assessing bleeding and patient comfort,complemented by precision surgical techniques such as the use of implant surgical guide plates.Postoperatively,CBCT is used to examine the relationship between the implant and the canalis sinuosus,and treatment of canalis sinuosus injuries can be tailored based on the patient's symptoms.This review summarizes the detection of canalis sinuosus in the population,its anatomical characteristics,and the physiological functions in the anterior maxilla,and discusses strategies for avoiding canalis sinuosus injuries during implant surgery,thereby enhancing clinical awareness and providing references for clinical decision-making.
