Objective: To explore the application effect of tarso-conjunctival flap for one-stage repairing eyelid posterior defect after resection of eyelid tumors. Methods: From June 2014 to December 2016, 33 patients with 33 cases of eyelid posterior tumors were treated, including 21 cases of Pigmented nevus of eyelid, 7 cases of eyelid basal cell carcinoma, 3 cases of eyelid adenocarcinoma and 2 cases of eyelid squamous cell carcinoma. Direct resection was performed for eyelid nevus, Mohs method (intraoperative delivery of frozen sections to control the cut edge) resection was performed for malignant tumors. According to the scope and location of the defect, the tarso-conjunctival flap was used to repair the posterior defect of the eyelid, and the eyelid anterior defect was treated with local flap transfer. Results: All 33 patients were followed up for 3 to 24 months. In addition to the absence of eyelashes in the defect area, one case had mild blepharoptomy (1 mm) and recovered after self-recovery. The remaining cases had recovered in appearance and function of eyelid with no serious complications. Conclusions The flexible application of tarso-conjunctival flap can basically solve the problem of repairing eyelid posterior defect after resection of eyelid tumors. The operation method has clinical practical value.

Objective: To explore the effect of the mandibular flap application on one-stage repairing facial large defects after resection of skin tumors. Methods: Thirteen patients with malignant facial skin tumors were treated from June 2016 to June 2018 in Taizhou First Hospital department of Plastic Surgery. The lesion included zygomatic in 3 cases (including 2 cases of non-adjacent defects in zygomatic area), buccal area area in 2 cases, parotid masseter in 6 cases and compound area in 2 cases. Pathological findings included 8 cases of squamous cell carcinoma, 4 cases of basal cell carcinoma and 1 case of fibrosarcoma. Using Mohs method resect the skin tumor (Rapid pathology intraoperatively to ensure lesion was all removed ). According to the diameter and location of the defect, the mandibular Flap was used to repair the large scale defects in a one-stage operation. Results: All mandibular Flap survived. During a follow-up period from 6 to 24 months, all patients obtained excellent functional and aesthetic result, and none had local recurrence. Conclusions The flexible application of mandibular Flap can basically solve the problem of repairing a large area of facial skin and soft tissue defect in zygomatic, buccal and parotid masseter of the face, which is one of the ideal methods to repair the tissue defects after resection of facial malignant tumor for the middle and old age.

Objective : This article explores the relationship between congenital tooth agenesis and related gene mutations, providing a reference for early diagnosis of the disease. Methods : Clinical and radiographic examinations of a rare case of congenital tooth agenesis were conducted to evaluate the abnormal morphology and quantity of the teeth, as well as the overall health of the patient. Bidirectional sequencing of the PAX9 and MSX1 genes and whole-exome sequencing were conducted to identify potential genetic abnormalities. Sanger sequencing of the newly discovered mutation site was performed on the proband's son. Subsequently, the impacts of the mutations were evaluated through computational tools and a cell-based gene transfection assay. Results : This is a rare case of tooth agenesis characterized by a congenitally missing first molar, a second molar with one single root and a supernumerary second premolar in the right mandibular dentition. The c.717 C>C/T in PAX9 is synonymous. The c.119C>G in MSX1 is a missense mutation predicted to be “benign” by Polyphen. Through whole-exome sequencing, we found a novel mutation, c.637-7 C>A in intron 3 of the WNT6 gene, which is predicted by MAXENT to influence the splicing of mRNA. Both the proband and his son carry this mutation. A cell-based gene transfection assay demonstrated that it did not alter the mRNA splicing of WNT6. Conclusion The interaction between single nucleotide polymorphisms may contribute to congenital tooth agenesis.
