4.Progress of temporomandibular joint prosthesis.
West China Journal of Stomatology 2014;32(4):422-425
The anatomically and functionally complex nature of the temporomandibularjoint (TMJ) makes its reconstruction one of the most challenging tasks faced by surgeons who operate in the head and neck. TMJ prosthesis is one of the important techniques in the reconstruction of TMJ. The main indications for TMJ prosthesis include ankylosis, fractures of condylar that can't be fixed, trauma or tumor, end-stage TMJ disturbance, and TMJ dysplasia caused by Hallermann-Streiff syndrome. TMJ replacement aims to enhance the function of TMJ, alleviate pain, and prevent serious complications. TMJ prosthesis is advantageous in oral and maxillofacial surgery because it can imitate normal anatomic morphology and adhere to the host. Moreover, the use of other materials is no longer necessary and functional training can be started postoperatively at once, among others. Prosthetic materials have leading and promoting functions in the development of joint prosthesis. Good design, fit shape, and fixation are the necessary conditions for prosthesis to serve its function. Investigation of joint biomechanics is also necessary. With the rapid developments in material science, joint biomechanics, and other related subjects, TMJ prosthesis has been significantly improved in terms of its materials, design, fit shape, and fixation techniques. In addition, the development of TMJ prosthesis would expand its applications. This review intends to provide an overview about the progress and clinical application of TMJ prosthesis.

Objective To explone the therapeutic effect and mechanism of Quyuhuatan decoction in treating type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with abnormal metabolism of lipid. Methods 85 cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with abnormal metabolism of lipid were recruited into a control group and a treatment group randomly. The treatment group (45cases) was treated with Quyuhuatan decoction and subcutaneous insulin injection while the control group(40cases) was treated with subcutaneous insulin injection exclusively. Both groups received the treatment for for 8 weeks. The result of TC, TG, LDL-C, and HDT-C were observed before and after the treatment. Results The improvement of blood lipid in the treatment group was superior to that in the control group (t=0.011, P<0.05) . Conclusion Quyuhuatan decoction is effective in treating type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with abnormal metabolism of lipid. The mechanism might be related with its cutting off pathological paths of hyperlipidemia.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (rhGM-CSF) combined with traditional medicine retention enema for treatment of chronic radiation proctitis.Methods:A total of 128 patients pathologically diagnosed as cervical cancer and endometrial cancer with grade 1-2 chronic radiation proctitis at Xiangyang Central Hospital from October 2017 to October 2019 were enrolled in a random, single-blind, control trial. The patients were divided into the control group and the experiment group according to the random number table, and the control group was given the treatment regimen of gentamicin + dexamethasone + Yunnan Baiyao retention enema, and the experimental group was given the treatment regimen of rhGM-CSF + gentamicin + dexamethasone + Yunnan Baiyao retention enema; both regimens treated twice daily for three weeks. The clinical symptom before and after enema treatment based on the subjective, objective, management and analytic (SOMA) scale was scored and the efficacy was evaluated by combining with stool routine and rectoscopy.Results:According to the SOMA scale, the scores of hematochezia, diarrhea, tenesmus, abdominal pain after enema were lower than those before enema, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05); however, the scores of all symptoms before treatment of both groups were not statistically significant different (all P>0.05). The score of hematochezia in the experimental group after enema was lower than that in the control group [(0.33±0.15) scores vs. (0.48±0.32) scores, t=2.045, P=0.022], and the scores of other symptoms in both groups were not statistically significant different (all P>0.05). The overall effective rate was 79.69% (51/64) in the control group and 90.63% (58/64) in the experimental group, and difference was statistically significant (χ 2=6.485, P=0.026). All patients had no obvious adverse reactions. Conclusions:rhGM-CSF combined with traditional medicine retention enema for treatment of chronic radiation proctitis in patients with cervical cancer and endometrial cancer is highly effective and easy to operate, and patients are well tolerated, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristic of vernier acuity in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) patients. Methods The vernier acuity test soft wear system was developed to detect the 23 cases (39 eyes) of AMD patients. Tweenty-one eyes were atrophic type and 17 eyes were exudative type. Two fixed targets and a movable target are shown on the computer screen. The examinee was asked to adjust the position of the central target and the relationship between it and align them by using a track ball. The computer automatically recorded the deviations of distances between the movable target and the specific one, and then computed and analysed the results of average threshold and variance. Results Both the atrophic and exudative AMD had higher vernier acuity threshold and its variance than normal subjects, and the differences were significant (P

Objective To discuss the clinical value of 18 F-FDG PET imaging in postoperative and postradiotherapeutic intracranial glioma during follow up study. Methods 18F-FDG PET imaging in 16 cases of postoperative and postradiotherapeutic intracranial glioma was compared with CT and/or MRI. Results Contrast CT or MRI showed prominent irregular circular or nodular enhancement in 14 of 16 cases (64%),can not distinguished from postopertative changes, radioinjury, tumor residue or recurrence.Among them, 9 cases showed tumor residue or recurrence based on significantly increased FDG uptake, 5 were confirmed by pathologic study. The other 5 cases of cerebral necrosis and 2 cases with postoperative cerebral malacia demonstrated FDG uptake defects. Conclusions 18F-FDG PET imaging has significant dominance in characterizing lesions for differentiating residue or recurrent disease from radioinjury in intracranial glioma. Combined with CT and MRI can provide both anatomical and functional informations.
