Objective:To analyze the clinical manifestations, radiographic features, and pathological classification of the juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) of the jaws and discuss its clinical management and prognosis. Methods: From January 2005 to December 2014, 15 patients with JOF who underwent surgery were retrospectively investigated with regard to clinical and radiologic data. On the basis of the standards of the World Health Organization in 2005, JOF was divided into juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma (JPOF) and juvenile trabecular ossifying fibroma (JTOF). Results:Among the 15 patients, 10 were female and 5 were male. Patient age ranged from 7 years old to 18 years old with a mean of 10.93 years old. Nine cases were located in the mandible and 6 in the maxilla. The clinical manifestation was painless swelling of the jaw, but 20%of the cases showed jaw swelling with pain. Various JOF radiolog-ic appearances, such as radiolucent, mixed radiopaque-radiolucent, or ground-glass pattern, were observed. Ten of the 15 patients were JTOF and 5 were JPOF With regard to treatment, 4 patients underwent conservative surgery, 3 patients lived with tumors, and 11 pa-tients underwent radical surgery during the follow-up period; no lesion recurrence occurred. Nine patients underwent reconstruction, that is, 5 cases with fibula flap graft, 3 cases with free iliac graft, and 1 case with costal cartilage graft. Conclusion:JOF is a rare form of benign fibro-osseous lesions and occurs in adolescents. Mandible and maxilla are two of the most common locations. Early diagnosis and treatment and strict clinical and radiological follow-up is important in the clinic because of the aggressiveness and high recurrence rate of JOF. Operation time and treatment options should be selected according to the patients' specific situation.

In view of the difficulties and blind spots of western medicine, how to make scientific decisions to standardize the treatment of breast cancer in traditional Chinese medicine and improve the participation of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of breast cancer is an important focus of innovative breakthroughs in breast cancer treatment. Based on the clinical experience of Professor LIN Yi, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, and on the basis of "disease identification and syndrome differentiation", this paper summarizes and refines the status of qi and blood imbalance, accumulation of phlegm and blood stasis, viscera deficiency, and cold heat cementation in breast cancer, and further proposes the "six views" of breast cancer balanced treatment: the pathogenesis view focuses on "evil invasion due to vital qi deficiency, and the proliferation of tumors", and the pathogenesis view focuses on "cancer toxin and imbalance of yin and yang", the diagnostic view focuses on "examining the underlying factors and understanding the causes and effects", the differentiation view focuses on "balancing qi, blood, yin, and yang to achieve harmony", the therapeutic view focuses on "supporting vital qi and eliminating evil, and considering the root cause and syndromes", and the rehabilitation view focuses on "adjusting balance to maintain a stable state". We are committed to holistic syndrome differentiation and treatment, balancing yin, yang, qi, and blood, thereby harmonizing the internal environment of the human body, and mobilizing the immune and rehabilitation functions of the body.
