OBJECTIVEThis study aimed to explore the differences of membrane thickness and pressure on the paranasal sinus membrane in goats and analyze their causes. The results can provide theoretical basis and guidance for the issues of the maxillary sinus floor augmentation related to the membrane.
METHODSThe membrane was cut into two sizes from every sinus membrane. The membrane was fixed in formalin to obtain tissue specimens for the membrane thickness study and pressure study. The correlation between the two parameters was then analyzed, and appropriate statistical methods and software were selected.
RESULTSThe top of maxillary sinus, the bottom of maxillary sinus and the frontal sinus membrane thickness were (410.03 ± 65.97), (461.33 ± 91.37), (216.90 ± 46.47) µm. The pressure were (260.08 ± 80.12), (306.90 ± 94.37), (121.72 ± 31.72) kPa. The mean differences of the membrane thickness between the top of the maxillary sinus and the frontal sinus, bottom and frontal, and top and bottom were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The mean differences in membrane pressure were also statistically significant (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe membrane thickness and pressure of the top and bottom of the maxillary sinus are higher than those of the frontal sinus membrane. However, the thickness and pressure of the bottom membrane are slightly higher than those of the top membrane. Pressure and membrane thickness are positively correlated in the sinus membrane.

Objective: To observe the effect of needling Hegu (LI 4) on functions of the prefrontal cortex using the functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Methods: A total of 12 healthy volunteers were randomly assigned to an acupuncture group (n=6) and a control group (n=6). The control group received no intervention. The acupuncture group received needling Hegu (LI 4) on the right side. The real-time concentration changes of oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO2), deoxygenated hemoglobin (d-Hb) and total hemoglobin (t-Hb) in the prefrontal cortex were recorded using the fNIRS, allowing for effect analysis of needling Hegu (LI 4) on the functions of the prefrontal cortex. Results: Compared with the control group, the HbO2 and t-Hb concentrations were increased in the acupuncture group and there were between-group statistical significances (bothP<0.05). There was no between-group statistical significance in d-Hb concentration (P>0.05). Conclusion: Needling Hegu (LI 4) can extensively activate the prefrontal cortex and therefore has significant effect on the functions of the brain's prefrontal cortex.

Objective:To study the correction of nasal septum deviation.Methods:From August 2016 to August 2018, a total of 47 patients with nasal septum deviation were treated in Shanghai Mei-gui Medical Cosmetology Hospital, including 11 males and 36 females, aged from 18 to 43 years old, with an average age of 23 years old. After the L-shaped stent was retained during the operation, the nasal septum cartilage was cut off. Firstly, stress and volumetric correction of the dorsal deviation of nasal septum was done by nicked and grafted on the opposite side of the deviation of the nasal septum cartilage, then deviation of caudal of the nasal septum was corrected according to different cases.(1)CategoriesⅠ: The anterior nasal crest is centered. The posterior septum angle is attached to the anterior nasal crest. Caudal septum is arc curved to one side. The concave surface of the bent cartilage was scratched and a cartilage slat was placed on one side to form a unilateral splint and correct the bending.(2) CategoriesⅡ: The anterior nasal crest is centered. The posterior septum angle is attached to the anterior nasal crest and the nasal septum is tilted in a straight line in the forward direction. Volume correction was done by placing the graft forward from the anterior nasal crest on the opposite side of the caudal deflection to ensure that the anterior angle is centered.(3) CategoriesⅢ: The anterior nasal crest is centered. The posterior septum angle emerges from the anterior nasal crest and is tilted to one side. The nasal septum is curved or deviated in a straight line. The posterior angle was detached from the dislocation point and repositioned on the anterior nasal crest. The caudal length should be excised appropriately. Cartilage strengthening transplantation was performed according to the strength and deviating tendency of the caudal cartilage.(4) CategoriesⅣ: The anterior nasal crest is tilted to one side, and the posterior septum angle is connected to the misplaced anterior nasal crest, about 2 mm of cartilage remains above the anterior nasal crest. The anterior nasal crest is detached from the posterior end and repositioned toward the midline. When the displacement distance is large, small cartilage is filled in the gap between the broken ends. If the original anterior nasal crest is too prominent, it can be chiselled out. Then cartilage augmentation grafts were performed according to the strength and inclination of the caudal end. Postoperative effects were observed.Results:A total of 47 cases were included. 8 cases wereⅠ class, 13 cases were Ⅱ class, 5 cases were Ⅲ class and 21 cases were Ⅳ class. The average follow-up period was 3 months to 1 year. Deviation recurrence occurred within 1-3 months after surgery in 1 case of Ⅱ class and 2 case of Ⅳ class. The second adjustment half a year after operation was satisfactory. One side of the nasal cavity was obstructed postoperatively in one case of Ⅲ class. Examination revealed hypertrophy of the inferior turbinate on this side. Nasal congestion is relieved after correction of hypertrophy of inferior turbinate. The other 43 cases recovered well after operation. Dorsal of the nose and the tip and columellar are basically centered. Both nostrils are basically symmetrical, and no other complications occurred.Conclusions:According to different circumstances of dorsal and caudal deviation of the nasal septum L-shaped stent and carry out targeted correction , nasal deformity caused by nasal septum deviation can be effectively treated.
