Objective:
The purpose is to explore the method and clinical effects of total nasal reconstruction with the assistance of three-dimensional (3D) scanning, 3D printing and monitoring the blood circulation after operation.
Methods:
3D scanning: Artex Eva 3D scanner was used to record the nose data of 500 volunteers from Xuzhou Medical University and its affiliated hospital from September 2016 to February 2017. A nose database of normal individuals was established, of which male was 138 and female was 362. In addition, 3D facial scanning was performed in patients wish to total nasal reconstruction. 3D printing: The individualized nasal structure was designed, with the assistant of patients′facial characteristics, combined with the normal nose database and the opinion of the patients. Anactual nose model was used as guidance during the operation. Postoperative monitoring: The blood flow and the retraction rate of forehead flap after surgery were measured using Laser Doppler Flowmeter and Geomagic Qualify software. The blood flow values, the temperature and the surface area of the flap were recorded and analyzed.
Results:
The nasal database of normal people in the Huaihai region successfully established. Overall, the width of the nose takes up a quarter of the width of the faces, and the length is 1/3 of the distance from the hairline to the chin. From February 2017 to June 2018, 7 cases underwent total nasal reconstruction operations were performed by this procedure. The nasal models were all successfully printed out, as the guide of flap taken during the operation. The mean operation time of the cases was (2.45±0.75) h, and the follow-up time was 5-15 months, with an average of 12.5 months. After the operations, the retraction rate of the forehead flap were (21.8±2.72)% in one month, and (29.1±1.82)% in six months. All patients are satisfied with the nasal appearance.
Conclusions
Nasal reconstruction with forehead flap based on 3D scanning and 3D printing, provides objective targets for nasal fine-structure in a noninvasive way. The postoperative monitoring of the blood flow promotes the successful completion of the total nose reconstruction.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics and influencing factors of vascular involvement in Beh?et′s Disease (BD) to improve and provideunderstanding of insights for clinicians to better understand this condition.Methods:Clinical data from 220 BD patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from January 2012 to May 2022 were collected. Clinical manifestations and laboratory findings were compared between BD patients with and without vascular involvement, as well as between those with improved conditions and those with progressive conditions. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors.Results:①The average age of the 220 BD patients was 36.5±15.3 years. Among them, 23 patients (10.5%) had vascular involvement, including 20 males (87.0%).②Compared to BD patients without vascular involvement, those with vascular involvement had significantly higher rates of smoking [6.1%(12/197) vs.34.8%(8/23), χ2=17.19, P<0.001], cardiac involvement [1.5%(3/197) vs. 13.0%(9/23), χ2=6.42, P=0.011], and elevated C-reactive protein(CRP) levels (78.3% vs. 56.3%, χ2=4.08, P=0.043).③ Among BD patients with vascular involvement, 11 cases (47.8%) had venous lesions, and 20 cases (87.0%) had arterial lesions, with 8 cases (34.8%) having both venous and arterial involvement. The most common type of vascular involvement was arterial dilatation (11 cases), mainly aneurysms (10 cases), and deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremities (7 cases).④The 23 BD patients with vascular involvement were followed up for an average of 18.3 months. Among them, 16 patients (69.6%) showed stable improvement, while 7 patients (30.4%) experienced disease progression, including 4 deaths (1 male and 3 females). A total of 91.3% (21/23) of the patients received glucocorticoid therapy. Immunosuppressive therapy was administered to 82.6% (19/23) of the patients, with 65.2% (10/23) receiving with cyclophosphamide and 43.5% receiving with thalidomide. Additionally, 13% (3/23) of the patients were treated with cyclosporine and methotrexate, respectively, and 8.7% (2/23) were treated with received mycophenolate mofetil. Anticoagulant therapy was given to 21.7% (5/23) of the patients, using either warfarin or low molecular weight heparin. Biologic therapy was administered to 17.4% (4/23) of the patients, and surgical intervention was performed in 43.5% (10/23) of the patients. ⑤Binary logistic regression analysis identified male gender [ OR(95% CI)=5.70(1.60, 20.90), P=0.009] as an indepe-ndent risk factor for vascular involvement in BD. Conclusion:The incidence of vascular involvement in BD is 10.5%, with a higher prevalence in males. Arterial involvement is more common than venous involvement, with arterial aneurysms being the most common manifestation. Clinicians should pay attention to CRP and total cholesterol levels in BD patients.
