OBJECTIVEAttending to observe the bony healing on hard palate after palatal repair, and to discuss the factors affecting on it.
METHODS52 patients with repaired cleft palate over 5 years postoperatively were examined, the CT scan of head was taken. The incidence of the bone regeneration among the patients examined was calculated, the position and quality of bone tissue were measured according to the CT images. After all, analysis was applied to evaluate the factors affecting on the bone tissue formation.
RESULTSFormation of bone bridge was found in the 37 cleft gaps out of 52 patients (71%), the ratio of the sex among the patients who had bone bridge was 1:1, there was no obvious difference between unilateral and bilateral cleft palate. Considering the operation age with the bone formation, the highest percentage of bone bridge formation fell into the group of 4-7 years old, and the most occurring region were in premolar and anterior part of molar area.
CONCLUSIONThere could be bony healing(regeneration bone tissue RBT) after palatal repair on cleft palate patients. The operation age could be an important affecting factor to RBT, but the sex and the clinical type of cleft palate make no difference on the bone tissue formation.

OBJECTIVETo compare the transverse growth of the dental cast following palatal surgery with or without osteogenesis in palatal gap.
METHODS31 patients at 13 - 28 years old with repaired palate were selected to take the dental cast, the width of the dental arch, alveolar base and the matching degree between arches were measured and the average was calculated. After the length of the bone bridge in palate was measured through CT scan, the relationship between the osteogenesis in palatal gap and the transfers growth of dental cast was studied.
RESULTSThe critical length of the bone regeneration in palatal gap to affect the dental growth is 4 mm, mean while the sufficient length is 8 mm. The group of sufficient bone bridge has a better development in both the width of dental alveolar base and that of dental arch and the matching degree than the group of unsurficience. And this intendance was more obvious in premolar region than in molar region.
CONCLUSIONSThe osteogenesis in palatal gap following palatal surgery can strongly support the transfers growth in the width of dental arch, the width of alveolar base and the matching degree between upper and lower dental arch.

OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the efficacy of Chinese medicine acupoint application (CMAA) combined with Western medicine for perennial allergic rhinitis (PAR) in children.
METHODS:
In this prospective, parallel, randomized, placebo-controlled and single-blind trial from August to September, 2017, 180 children with PAR were randomly assigned to an integrative group (CMAA and Montelukast), CMAA group (CMAA and placebo tablet), or Montelukast group (placebo CMAA and Montelukast). Participants were applied with CMAA for 6 sessions over 2 weeks, and/or Montelukast Chewable Tablet orally once daily for 12 weeks. The changes in severity of symptoms were measured by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and rhinitis control assessment test (RCAT) at 0, 2, 4 and 12 weeks of treatment. Blood samples were collected for serum interleukin-4, interferon gamma γ and T helper type 1 (Th1)/Th2 flow cytometric analysis at the time points of 0, 4 and 12 weeks.
RESULTS:
Eight cases dropped out from the trial, 3 in the integrative group, 2 in the CMAA group and 3 in the Montelukast group. The VAS scores decreased significantly while the RCAT scores increased significantly in all three groups at 4 and 12 weeks compared with baseline (P<0.01 or P<0.05). The VAS scores were significantly lower while the RCAT scores were significantly higher in the integrative and CMAA groups than the Montelukast group at 2 and 4 weeks (P<0.01 or P<0.05). At 2, 4 and 12 weeks, the scores of nasal congestion, sneezing, sleep problem, and rhinitis symptom control in the integrative and CMAA groups increased significantly compared with baseline (P<0.01 or P<0.05). The least percentages of Th2 and the most alleviated Th2 shift (highest Th1/Th2) were observed in the integrative group at 12 weeks compared with the other two groups (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
The combination of CMAA with Montelukast might be more effective and appropriate than either option alone for children with PAR. (Registered at Chinese Clinical Trial Register, registration No. ChiCTR-IOR-17012434).

Malocclusion is one of the three most common oral diseases reported by World Health Organization(WHO). In China, its incidence rate is rising. Malocclusion seriously affects the dental and maxillofacial function, facial appearance and growth development of nearly 260 million children in China, and what is more, it affects their physical and mental health development. Malocclusion occurrence is related to genetic and environmental factors. Early treatment of malocclusion can create a good dental and maxillofacial development environment, correct abnormal growth and control the adverse effects of abnormal genetic factors. It can effectively reduce the prevalence of children's malocclusion and enhance their physical and mental health. This is an urgent need from the economic perspective of our society, so it has great practical and social significance. Experts from the project group "standard diagnose and treatment protocols for early orthodontic intervention of malocclusions of children" which initiated by China National Health Institute of Hospital Administration wrote the "China Experts' Consensus on Preventive and Interceptive Orthodontic Treatments of Malocclusions of Children", which aims to guide and popularize the clinical practice, improve the clinical theory and practice level, and accelerate the disciplinary development of early treatment of children's malocclusion in China. The consensus elaborates the harmfulness of malocclusion and the necessity of early treatment, and brings up the principles and fundamental contents. Based on the law of dental and maxillofacial development, this paper puts forward the guiding suggestions of preventive and interceptive treatments in different stages of dental development ranging from fetus to early permanent dentition. It is a systematic project to promote and standardize the early treatment of malocclusion. Through scientific and comprehensive stratified clinical practice and professional training, the clinical system of early treatment of malocclusion in China will eventually be perfected, so as to comprehensively care for children's dental and maxillofacial health, and improve their oral and physical health in China.
