OBJECTIVE: To investigate the application of autogenous cartilage transplantation in rhinoplasty. METHOD: We chose three kinds of treatment according to the shape of nasal tip and thickness of local soft tissue. Autogenous auricular cartilage transplantation combined with "L" type artificial prosthesis rhinoplasty was executed in 57 cases. Nasal alar cartilage transplantation combined with "L" type artificial prosthesis rhinoplasty was executed in 33 cases and septal cartilage transplantation combined with "willow leaf" type artificial prosthesis rhinoplasty was executed in 29 cases. RESULT: Improved nasal aesthetic effects were observed after operation in all of 119 cases, 64 cases were follow-up visited for 3 to 12 months. Both surgeons and patients were satisfied with the nasal shape. CONCLUSION Autogenous cartilage transplantation combining with artificial prosthesis rhinoplasty could effectively rebuild the nasorostral shape. We chose different kinds of cartilage according to the nasorostral condition. We can ensure that the whole nasal shape according to aesthetic requirement.

Objective To investigate the factors influencing the image quality of prostate magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS),and to put forward quality control measures to improve MRS in success ratio and image quality.Methods Totally 1 255 patients with prostate diseases confirmed pathologically from October 2009 to December 2015 had their MRS data analyzed retrospectively.MRS was executed with multi-voxel 3D chemical shift imaging technique,and special-purpose software was involved in for post processing.Re-scanning would be performed in case of baseline clutter,low SNR and etc.Results There were 1 218 patients had MRS executed well in preparedness,positioning,parameters setup,post processing,baseline and chemical shift,one patient underwent unsuccessful MRS due to incorrect bed mode,9 ones due to unstable baseline resulting from unsatisfactory preparedness,26 ones due to unstable baseline resulting from bad shimming and 1 case due to non-standard post processing.Conclusion Prostate SRS depends on patient preparedness,positioning,parameters setup,shimming and post processing.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the quantitative classification and measuring method of nasal deviation and effectiveness of Septo-rhinoplasty for nasal deviation. METHOD: Fourteen selected cases of nasal deviation were rectified by Septo-rhinoplasty. The deviated parameters were measured both before and after operation. RESULT: The deviated parameter after operation was (2.75 +/- 1.67) mm in 14 cases. The preoperative parameter was (5.05 +/- 2.03) mm. The difference in changes of deviated parameters before and after operation was significant (P < 0.01). Satisfactory results were achieved after operation in 12 cases. The rate of good cosmetic outcome was 85.71%. CONCLUSION Both quantitative grading standard of nasal deviation and measurement of deviation value contribute to clinical diagnosis and medical records. The Septo-rhinoplasty is effective for nasal deviation.
