The Journal of Practical Medicine 2017;33(5):762-766
Objective To establish a histological classification system for osteophytes by Masson staining and immunohistochemical staining for collagen type II. Methods Osteophytes were collected from knee joints in os?teoarthritis patients after joint replacement surgery. To develop an osteophyte classification ,serial tissue sections were identified using histological(hematoxylin and eosin,Masson ' s trichrome,toluidine blue)and immunohisto?chemical staining(collagen typeⅡ). Joint function was assessed by WOMAC score and radiological findings was measured by Kellgren?Lawrence grading. The consistency between the osteophyte classification and WOMAC/Kell?gren?Lawrence grading were evaluated. Results 31 patients and 101 osteophyte samples were included in this study. Based on the histological and immunohistochemical evaluation,osteophytes can be divided into type A (4.9%),type B(4.0%),type C(26.7%)and type D(64.4%). This histological classification system had better consistency with joint function score(χ2 = 0.108,P = 0.947)and Kellgren?Lawrence grading(χ2 = 3.205,P =0.201). Conclusions This trial establishes a histological classification system for osteoarthritis osteophytes ,types A and B indicating early osteophyte and types C and D indicating advanced osteophyte. The system is helpful in clini?cal and basic research on osteoarthritis.

BACKGROUND:It is confirmed that the characteristics of soft and hard tissue development vary largely in different vertical facial types, which reflect the development trend of the patients and the control ing degree on anchorage.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the influence of different vertical facial types on the aesthetic evaluation of facial profiles in young females, and analyze the perception of facial attractiveness from different people.
METHODS:Three beautiful females, with high, average and low mandibular angle, respectively were selected according to the measurement data of projection and the orthodontist’s aesthetic appreciation. They were yel ow race, bilateral facial appearance was basical y symmetrical, and no other maxil ofacial disease was found. They also received no orthodontic or orthognathic treatment. The profile digital photographs and cephalograms of three females were col ected. The positions of soft tissue lip and soft tissue chin were altered incremental y with Dolphin Imaging and Management software. Twenty-five new pictures were generated by the smal scale (2 mm per unit) modification in the sagittal direction. By using“acceptable facial appearance”as a filter, 15 orthodontists selected 11 from 25 pictures. Fifty parents of orthodontic patients, 50 orthodontic patients, and 50 amateurs were taken as the evaluators for subjective aesthetic ratings and for the assessment of the influence of vertical facial types on the facial profile attractiveness.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:With low and average angle, straight profile, slightly protrude chin was perceived to be beautiful. With high angle, straight profile, slightly protrude profile was perceived to be beautiful, and evaluation results are consistent between men and women. Evaluators are in agreement when it comes to evaluating the perception of facial attractiveness of three different vertical facial types profile in young females. They also have certain difference in aesthetic tendencies, but when it comes to straight profile they share the same preference. Although different vertical facial types profile has an impact on the profile of lip and chin, but it can’t represent the aesthetic preference of al evaluators.
