Objective To evaluate the postoperative related aesthetic parameters and satisfactory degree between CT 3D reconstruction augmentation rhinoplasty with silicone and augmentation rhinoplasty with silicone in adult Han women.Methods Totally 60 adult healthy Han women voluntarily subjected to augmentation rhinoplasty with silicone were randomly divided into groups A and B,30 people each group;Row CT 3D reconstruction augmentation rhinoplasty with silicone was performed in group A,and the augmentation rhinoplasty with silicone in group B;6 months after surgery related data measurement and questionnaire collected,we compared the objective and subjective indicators for the nasal root,dorsum and ministry,respectively.Results There was a difference between group A and group B in the nasorostral angle,the nasal facial angle,the asofrontal angle and the height of the nasal root (89.50±1.40)°,(28.85±2.20)°,(136.26±1.92)°,(6.45±0.27) mm in group A,and (85.40±3.70)°,(26.43±4.39)°,(138.88±4.78)°,(5.28±0.34) mm in group B (all P<0.05).There was a difference between group A and group B in operation time (51.77 ± 5.35) min vs (29.83±5.76) min (P<0.05).Conclusions Owing to its preoperative prosthesis design purpose and avoiding local swelling,CT 3D reconstruction augmentation rhinoplasty with silicone has better effects than that of augmentation rhinoplasty with silicone,especially on the nasal dorsum and the nasal root),which can obviously shorten the operation time,and therefore it is more suitable for the defects of the nasal root and dorsum.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of lenalidomide plus dexamethasone (LD) in patients with proliferative glomerulonephritis with monoclonal immunoglobulin deposits (PGNMID).Methods:The clinicopathological data of PGNMID patients who were treated with LD protocol from January 2010 to October 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:All of 6 patients received LD treatment for≥3 months after renal biopsy in Jinling Hospital. During the follow-up period of 6 to 19 months, 3 patients achieved renal remission, and the renal remission rate was 50%(3/6). Light microscopy showed membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis and immunofluorescence showed single kappa type IgG3 was deposited in the mesangial region and the vascular loop. Before taking LD scheme, the median urinary protein were 7.76(1.27, 14.57) g/24 h, the median serum creatinine was 118.5(70.7, 289.1) μmol/L, and the median albumin was 34.5(22.4, 37.5) g/L. The concentration of serum free kappa and lambda light chain was increased in 5 patients, but the serum free light chain ratio was normal. Hypocomplementemia was detected in two cases. Six patients underwent bone marrow flow cytometry, and 2 patients had elevated monoclonal plasma cells, accounting for 0.7% and 0.5%, respectively. Immunofixation electrophoresis suggested that 1 patient had positive serum M protein for kappa type IgG3. At the last follow-up, median urine protein was 3.33(0.33, 11.23) g/24 h, median serum creatinine was 108.7(80.4, 160.9) μmol/L, and median albumin was 35.9(24.5, 45.6) g/L. The concentration of serum free light chain in 4 patients from 5 patients with elevated serum free light chain was lower than that before taking the drug. Decreased level of serum complement in two cases returned to normal after treatment. The M spike did not turn negative during the follow-up in one patient. Adverse events included anemia, neutropenia, limb numbness and upper respiratory tract infection.Conclusion:This study reports for the first time that LD protocol may be effective in treating PGNMID, but more attention should be paid to the hematological adverse events of lenalidomide.
