Objective:To explore the effect of digital technology and 3D printing technology combined with non-vascularized ilium bone in repairing post-traumatic bone defect in maxillary anterior area.Methods:A retrospective case series study was performed to analyze clinical data of 8 patients with severe bone defect in maxillary anterior area after trauma admitted to First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June 2013 to January 2018. There were 6 males and 2 females, with the age of 18-43 years [(31.9±9.0)years]. The maxillary bone was reconstructed before surgery by employing digital technology. The intercept range of ilium was determined according to the best form of defect to be recovered. Then the model and guide plate was printed out by employing 3D print technology. The titanium mesh was prebended on the model. The bone was extracted and Onlay bone grafting was performed according to the guide plate. The implant restoration was performed 6 to 9 months after operation, and porcelain crown restoration was performed 4 to 6 months later. The iliac bone survival and postoperative complications were detected 6 months after bone grafting. The near-middle-far and vertical bone elevation of the alveolar ridge as well as bone elevation of lip palatal were measured before implantation. The condition around the implants was observed 6 months after porcelain crown restoration. The visual analogue score (VAS) was used to evaluate the pain after iliac bone transplantation and implantation. The implant stability coefficient (ISQ) was applied to assess the stability of the implants on the day and 4 months after operation.Results:All the patients were followed up for 24-48 months [(33.3±9.7)months]. Eight patients with non-vascularized iliums were all survived. There was one patient with mild infection after bone grafting and one patient with gingival inflammatory hyperplasia after implantation, both of whom were healed after treatment. There was no obvious peri-implant inflammation or absorption of the grafted bone. The increase in height of the alveolar on the mesial and distal bone, vertical bone and labial-palatal bone was 30.28-39.67 mm, 9.58-11.32 mm and 2.06-7.41 mm, respectively. All the implants showed good osseointegration. The VAS after implantation was (3.4±0.7)points, significantly alleviated compared with the preoperational level [(7.3±2.0)points] ( P<0.05). The ISQ was 84.4±1.9 at postoperative 4 months, showing no significant difference from that on the day after operation (72.9±1.4) ( P>0.05). Conclusions:In repair of severe bone defect in maxillary anterior area after trauma, the digital and 3D printing technology combined with non-vascularized ilium can improve the survival rate of bone grafts. The implant restoration after operation can reduce pain, restore the patients' facial appearance and achieve satisfactory oral physiological function.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical effects on incomplete intestinal obstruction treated with the adjuvant therapy of acupuncture and moxibustion.

METHODSUsing the retrospective analysis, 80 patients of incomplete intestinal obstruction were divided into an observation group and a control group, 40 cases in each one. In the control group, the routine treatment was given, such as fasting, gastrointestinal decompression, parenteral nutrition, infection prevention with antibiotics and enema laxative. In the observation group, on the basis of the treatment as the control group, acupuncture was applied at bilateral Zusanli (ST 36), Shangjuxu (ST 37) and Xiajuxu (ST 39); moxibustion was used at left Yangchi (TE 4), Zhongwan (CV 12), Qihai (CV 6) and Guanyuan (CV 4). The treatment was given once a day, 30 min each time. The average days of treatment, the surgical transfer rate, the time to first flatus, the recovery time of defecation and the time of solid food intake were observed in the patients of the two groups.

RESULTSThe average days of treatment in the observation group was obviously less than that in the control group (<0.05). The surgical transfer rate in the observation group was obviously lower than that in the control group (<0.05). The time to first flatus, the recovery time of defecation and the time of solid food intake were all obviously earlier than those in the control group (all <0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe adjuvant therapy of acupuncture and moxibustion achieves the significant therapeutic effects on incomplete intestinal obstruction, shortens the treatment duration and reduces the surgical transfer rate and the patient's economic burden.

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), also known as the multifactorial erythematous drug eruption, is a class of adverse reactions of the skin and mucous membranes primarily caused by drug allergy often involving the oral cavity, eyes, and external genital mucosa, generally accompanied by fever, and can be life-threatening in severe cases. In February 2022, the Department of Stomatology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University admitted a patient with huge inflammatory hyperplasia of bilateral lingual margins secondary to SJS. Upon admission, no other obvious symptoms were observed except for tongue hyperplasia. The patient suffered from a severe adverse drug reaction caused by acetaminophen 2 months ago and was complicated by liver dysfunction and pulmonary infection. After 1 month of treatment and rehabilitation, he developed a secondary tongue mass and was subsequently admitted to Dept. of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Ward 2, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. After completing the examination, the tongue mass was surgically removed. After a follow-up of 11 months, the patient's condition was satisfactory and no temporary discomfort was observed. The case of tongue mass secondary to SJS is extremely rare. If a stomatologist encounters a similar case, we should carefully inquire about the drug allergy history and recent medication history, and be alert to whether or not they had adverse drug reactions recently.

Objective: To explore the costs and other information of two different treatment plans for pediatric acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL): one is the traditional intravenous drip arsenic (arsenic trioxide) combined with chemotherapy treatment, and the other is a medication family treatment program based on oral arsenic (Realgar-Indigo naturalis formula), in order to provide a reference for the promotion of pediatric APL family treatment mode and the formulation of medical insurance policies. Methods: The medical record homepage data and drug using of pediatric APL from 2010 to 2018 in Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College were retrospectively analyzed, and the newly diagnosed pediatric patients (≤14 years old) with APL were included. The hospitalization expenses and hospitalization time of two treatment options were compared. One treatment option was Chinese children APL treatment plan 2010 (CCAPL 2010), which was based on intravenous drip arsenic trioxide. The other was Chinese Children Cancer Group APL treatment plan 2017 (CCCG-APL 2017), which was based on oral Realgar-Indigo naturalis formula. Results: A total of 79 pediatric APL patients were included and grouped according to the treatment plans, 56 patients were treated with CCAPL 2010 plan, and 23 patients were treated with CCCG-APL 2017 plan. The median costs of one single pediatric APL patient in CCAPL 2010 plan was 167 700 yuan (95 800-386 600 yuan), and the median hospital stay time of one single pediatric APL patient was 102 days (14-157 days). The median costs of one single pediatric APL patient in CCCG-APL 2017 plan group was 118 700 yuan(50 800-270 600 yuan), and the median hospital stay time of one single pediatric APL patient was 37 days(5-96 days). The costs and hospital stay time of one single pediatric APL patient with CCCG-APL 2017 plan were remarkably less than those of one single pediatric APL patient with CCAPL 2010 plan (U = 178, P < 0.01; U = 66, P < 0.01). Conclusions The CCCG-APL 2017 plan simplifies the treatment plan compared with the CCAPL 2010 plan and significantly reduces the patient's medical expenses and shortens the hospitalization days. The CCCG-APL 2017 plan is suitable for family therapy and has good social and economic benefits, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
