OBJECTIVETo evaluate the predictive accuracy of the SurgiCase CMF software in surgical simulation and prediction for mandibular asymmetry with 3-dimensional simulation and measurement.

METHODSCBCT data of 27 patients with mandibular asymmetry were observed in CMF, and postoperative soft tissue physiognomy were predicted by simulating sagittal ramus osteotomy with or without genioplasty. The measurement parameters representing the symmetry of soft tissue were selected and the horizontal, coronal and sagittal planes were established. The results were analyzed by SPSS 19. 0. The overlap compared color grading charts were observed.

RESULTSAngles between cheilions and the horizonta plane (Ch-Ch-FH) in the simulation and postoperative soft tissues are (2. 35 ± 1. 81)° and (1. 44 ± 1. 13)°. The angles constructed among subnasale, upper lip and lower lip (Sn-UL-LL) are (4. 02 ± 3. 05)° and (2. 59 ± 1. 64)°, showing statistically different (P < 0. 01, P < 0. 05), which means that predictive accuracy of the lip canting and lip vertical deviation is relatively low. Distance between gonioi and sagittal plane (Go'-MS), distance between gonion and pogonion (Go'-Pog') and angle betweer subnasale to menton and the horizontal plane (Sn-Me'-MS) are not statistically different, which mean! high predictive accuracy of mandibular angle and chin. By observing the overlap compared color gradin-) charts, the predictive accuracy is not good in the cheek, especially in the deviate side.

CONCLUSIONSThe predictive accuracy of CMF system for patients with mandibular asymmetry is relatively high, but it is not good in the lip and cheek. The software improvement is still necessary.

Objective To evaluate the effect of proper nutritional therapy guided by indirect caloimetry . Methods According to the digitaltable ,70 critically ill patients whose APACHE II >5 were randomly divided into oberserving ( nutritional therapy guided by indirect caloimetry ) and control groups ( nutritional therapy guided by harris-benedict formula),each group 35 cases.The results of nutrition support were analysed .Results TP,MAMC,ALB were higher than that before treatment in oberserving group (all P<0.05),the MAMC was also higher than that in control groups(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in Hb and TSF after treatment IN oberserving group (all P>0.05).Conclusion The nutritional therapy guided by indirect caloimetry by harris-benedict formula have the some nutritional effect in critically ill patients .
