Objective:To investigate the long-term outcomes of using 3D-printed preformed titanium meshes in repair and reconstruction of orbital region.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with tumors invading the naso-orbito-maxillary region who underwent surgical resection and repair/reconstruction with 3D-printed preformed titanium meshes. The patients were collected at three medical centers (the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, Xijing Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University, and Shenzhen Longgang District Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital) from 2016 to 2023. Tumor extent was evaluated radiologically, and the surgical approaches, reconstruction outcomes, surgical complications, and long-term follow-up results were analyzed.Results:A total of 46 patients from the three centers were included in this study, comprising 27 males and 19 females, with an average age of 51 years (range: from 13 to 86 years). Among them, 4 patients had benign tumors, while the remaining 42 had malignant tumors. The median follow-up duration was 60.7 months (range: from 19.0 to 75.0 months). Postoperatively, symmetrical globe position was achieved in 38 cases without significant diplopia; 4 cases exhibited enophthalmos without diplopia, and 4 cases had enophthalmos with diplopia. Twelve patients received preoperative radiotherapy, and 30 patients received postoperative radiotherapy. Six patients developed enophthalmos, and 6 experienced titanium mesh exposure after radiotherapy. Following treatment completion, 3 patients underwent repair using frontal flaps, 1 using a superficial temporal artery island flap, and 2 using free flaps. All remaining patients showed no postoperative infections, and their wounds healed normally.Conclusion:The application of 3D-printed preformed titanium mesh enables precise repair of postoperative defects in patients with naso-orbital tumors, facilitating reliable reconstruction of the orbital and facial contours with straightforward operation and dependable outcomes.

consecutive patients with acute basilar artery occlusion stroke within 4.5 h of onset admitted to five centers from January 2018 to August 2024 were included and divided into a bridging therapy(intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase given prior to emergency endovascular treatment)group and a direct thrombectomy group according to the treatment modality.Baseline and clinical data were collected from patients,including age,sex,systolic and diastolic blood pressure on admission,past history(including history of hypertension,diabetes mellitus,coronary artery disease,atrial fibrillation,hyperlipidemia,and history of stroke),history of smoking,pre-morbid modified Rankin scale(mRS)scores,National Institutes of Health stroke scale(NIHSS)score on admission,posterior circulation Alberta stroke program early CT score on admission,basilar artery CT angiography score,history of pre-procedural antiplatelet aggregation medications,history of pre-procedural anticoagulant medications,choice of arterial puncture access(via femoral or radial artery),site of vascular occlusion(proximal basilar artery,mid-basilar artery,distal basilar artery),trial of Org 10172 in acute stroke treatment(TOAST)classification,American Society of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology/Society of Interventional Radiology collateral circulation classification,time

combined),immediate post-procedure extended thrombolysis in cerebral infarction(eTICI)classification,and intra-procedural related complications(arterial entrapment,distal occlusion and arterial perforation).The main efficacy indicators(good prognosis[mRS score 0-3 90 d postoperatively],death[mRS score 6 90 d postoperatively],and good recanalisation[eTICI grade ≥2b50]within the immediate postoperative period)and safety indicators(incidence of symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage[sICH]within 7 days post-procedure)were compared between the two groups.The two groups were matched 1∶1 using propensity score matching(PSM)to compare differences in effectiveness and safety indices before and after PSM.Variables with P<0.05 in the baseline and clinical data comparison between the two groups were included in multifactorial Logistic regression analysis for correction,the differences in safety and efficacy between the two groups were compared before and after correction.Results A total of 206 patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by basilar artery occlusion within 4.5 h of onset were included,comprising 151 males and 55 females.The age ranged from 26 to 93 years old,with an average of(65±13)years old.Among them,101 patients(49.0%)were in the bridging therapy group and 105(51.0%)in the direct thrombectomy group.After 1∶1 PSM,each group consisted of 69 patients.(1)The differences in the proportion of patients with atrial fibrillation between the bridging therapy group and the direct thrombectomy group(16.8%[17/101]vs.28.6%[30/105]),the distribution of pre-morbid mRS scores,and the distribution of TOAST subtypes were statistically significant(all P<0.05);the differences in the residual baseline and clinical data of the two groups were not statistically significant(all P>0.05).After 1∶1 PSM,the differences in all baseline and clinical data between the two groups were not statistically significant(all P>0.05).(2)No statistically significant differences were observed between the bridging therapy group and direct thrombectomy group in the good prognosis rate at 90 d postoperatively,morbidity and mortality rates at 90 d postoperatively,or good revascularization rate in the immediate postoperative period(all P>0.05).However,the risk of sICH at 7 d postoperatively was higher in the bridging therapy group(9.5%[10/105]vs.19.8%[20/101];OR,2.346,95%CI 1.038-5.299,P=0.037).After correcting for variables with statistically significant differences in baseline and clinical data between the direct thrombectomy group and bridging therapy groups(atrial fibrillation,pre-onset mRS score,and TOAST classification)using a multifactorial Logistic regression model,the results showed no statistically significant differences in the effectiveness and safety metrics between the two groups(all P>0.05).(3)The results after 1∶1 PSM showed that the bridging therapy group had a higher risk of sICH(11.6%[8/69]vs.26.1%[18/69];OR,2.691,95%CI 1.081-6.700,P=0.033).No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of good prognosis rate at 90 d postoperatively,disease-related mortality rate at 90 d postoperatively,or rate of good revascularization in the immediate postoperative period(all P>0.05).Conclusions In patients with acute basilar artery occlusion stroke within 4.5 h of onset,the effectiveness of bridging therapy and direct thrombectomy was similar,but the incidence of sICH was higher with bridging therapy.The results of this study still need further validation through prospective studies with larger sample sizes.

OBJECTIVE To develop a magnetic resonance(MRI) imaging radiomics and clinical factor model to predict recurrence and metastasis in patients with primary stage Ⅱ-Ⅳa nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) and to validate its predictive effect on adjuvant chemotherapy(AC) outcomes. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on 135 patients with stage Ⅱ to Ⅳa NPC diagnosed in Longgang Otolaryngology Hospital of Shenzhen City from February 2018 to October 2021. After receiving standard synchronous radiotherapy and chemotherapy at our hospital,some patients received induction chemotherapy and/or AC based on cisplatin/nedaplatin. The imaging features of enhanced MRI sequences were extracted using PyRadiomics platform. Using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO) algorithm to filter features associated with recurrence or metastasis,a clinical radiomics model(CRM) was constructed by Cox multivariate analysis in a training cohort and validated in a validation cohort. All patients were divided into high-risk and low-risk groups based on the model's median Rad score. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to compare 3-year recurrence or metastasis free survival(RMFS) in patients with AC in high-risk group and low risk-group. RESULTS A total of 960 imaging features were extracted. The CRM consists of 9 features(6 imaging features and 3 clinical factors). In the training cohort,the area under the CRM curve(AUC) of 3-year RMFS was 0.867(P<0.001),and the sensitivity and specificity were 90.32% and 79.66%,respectively. In the validation cohort,the AUC was 0.836(P<0.001) and the sensitivity and specificity were 100.0% and 71.43%,respectively. The 3-year RMFS in high-risk and low-risk groups was 42.86%(27/63) and 94.44%(68/72)(log rank=50.818,P<0.001),respectively. Among CRM high-risk patients,3-year RMFS was significantly better in patients who received AC than those who did not(log rank=6.204,P=0.013). CONCLUSION CRM based on 3 clinical factors and 6 MRI features provides a non-invasive method for predicting the prognosis of NPC,which may help guide treatment decisions for clinical adjuvant chemotherapy,but further external verification is needed.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the prognostic value of pre-treatment serum lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)levels in patients with locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC)treated with salvage intensity-modulated radiotherapy(IMRT)and to determine its association with rT staging.METHODS The records of 97 patients with locally relapsed and non-metastatic NPC who received salvage IMRT treatment in our center from January 2018 to April 2022 were collected,including 51 patients who died,18 patients with distant metastases,30 patients with local failure,and 67 patients with prognostic adverse events(death,distant tumors/local metastases).Clinical data,local failure-free survival(LFFS),distant metastasis-free survival(DMFS)and overall survival(OS)were obtained from all patients,and the relationship between LDH and the prognosis of salvage IMRT therapy in NPC patients was analyzed.RESULTS The serum LDH level before salvage IMRT was significantly higher in the death[221.25(178.24,339.13)U/L vs.124.82(79.0,159.50)U/L,Z=-5.122],local failure[230.75(170.89,394.50)U/L vs.157.85(91.78,216.95)U/L,Z=-3.442],distant metastasis[261.62(153.55,465.50)U/L vs.168.98(101.75,237.75)U/L,Z=-2.478]and poor prognosis group[220.05(167.20,506.16)U/L vs.93.45(69.95,154.35)U/L,Z=-6.018],and all P<0.05.Serum LDH levels were divided into dichotomous variables according to median values(≥177.50 U/L vs.<177.50 U/L),the Cox univariate model found that the hazard ratios of LDH affecting LFFS,DMFS,OS and toxic-related death(TRD)were 3.759(1.660-8.558),4.217(1.383-12.861),3.226(1.715-6.069),3.363(1.750-6.463),P<0.05.LDH remained an independent prognostic factor for LFFS,DMFS,OS,and TRD in multivariate regression analysis(P<0.05).Compared with patients with LDH<177.50 U/L,more patients in the LDH≥177.50 U/L group had local progression-related death,and the no LFFS stage,no DMFS stage and OS were shorter in the LDH≥177.50 U/L group(log rank=11.624,7.559,14.758),P<0.05.In predicting overall survival,adding LDH to the rT stage is preferable to the rT stage alone.CONCLUSION LDH is an important factor in predicting LFFS,DMFS,OS,and TRD after saving IMRT in patients with locally relapsed,non-metastatic NPC,and the value of LDH combined with rT staging in predicting overall survival is high.

ObjectiveTo investigate the principle and scientific connotation of Euodiae Fructus(EF) processed with Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma(Gly) by comparing the effects of unprocessed products of EF(UEF) and processed products of EF with the different proportions of Gly(GEFs) at toxic doses on oxidative stress and autophagy in the liver of mice. MethodSeventy mice were randomly divided into 7 groups, namely the control group, the UEF group, the group of the processed products of EF without Gly(PEF) and 4 groups of GEFs(the mass ratios of EF to Gly were 100∶3, 100∶6, 100∶12 and 100∶24, respectively, hereinafter referred to as the processed products of EF with the mass ratios of 100∶3, 100∶6, 100∶12 and 100∶24 of Gly). The mice were given purified water, the decoction of UEF, PEF and GEFs by gavage at a dose of 30 g·kg-1. PEF and GEFs were prepared according to the method under EF in the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Levels of alanine aminotransferase(ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase(AST) were determined by ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining was used to evaluate the pathological changes of liver tissue, the level of reactive oxygen species(ROS) was detected by fluorescence method, the mRNA expression of heme oxygenase-1(HO-1), quinone oxidoreductase-1(NQO1), glutathione-S-transferase 1(GSTA1), Kelch-like epichlorohydrin-associated protein 1(Keap1) and p62 were measured by Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(Real-time PCR), western blot was used to detect the protein expression of phosphorylated mammal target of rapamycin(p-mTOR), phosphorylated ribosomal p70 S6 protein kinase(p-p70S6K), p62, microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3Ⅰ(LC3Ⅰ) and LC3Ⅱ. ResultCompared with the control group, after 7 d of administration, the increase in body mass of mice in the UEF group began to slow down and the difference gradually increased, and the liver body index significantly increased(P<0.01), pathomorphological observation showed that the structure of hepatic lobules was disordered, and local hepatic sinuses were narrowed or disappeared, and there were inflammatory infiltration and local bleeding, the levels of ALT and AST in serum and ROS in liver tissue were significantly increased(P<0.01), and the expressions of Keap1, HO-1, NQO1, GSTA1, p62 mRNA and p-mTOR, p-p70S6K, p62 protein in liver tissue were significantly decreased(P<0.01), and LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ was significantly increased(P<0.01). Compared with the UEF group, the body mass of mice increased, and the liver body index, the levels of ALT and AST in serum, and the level of ROS in liver tissue all decreased in the groups of PEF and GEFs. Among these groups, only the liver lobules in GEF(100∶6) group were intact, and the size of liver sinuses was close to that in the control group. The mRNA expressions of Keap1, HO-1, NQO1, GSTA1 and p62 in liver tissue showed an overall upward trend in the groups of PEF and GEFs. Among these groups, only the ones of the above mRNA in the GEF(100∶6) group had a significant increase(P<0.05, P<0.01). The protein expressions of p-mTOR, p-p70S6K, p62 and LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ had a callback in the groups of PEF and GEFs, of which the protein expressions of p-mTOR, p-p70S6K and LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ in the GEF(100∶6) group and the expression of p62 protein in the GEF(100∶24) group had the largest callback. Except for p-mTOR protein, other protein expressions were statistically significant(P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionThe hepatotoxicity of EF is closely related to its ability to induce oxidative stress, which leads to pathological autophagy and hepatocyte damage. This ability can be reduced by the processing with different proportions of Gly, especially the ratio of 100∶6.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and clinical effect of the surgical approach and method of transnasal fenestration under nasal endoscope for the treatment of maxillary odontogenic cyst. Methods:The clinical data of 23 cases with maxillary odontogenic cysts treated by nasal endoscopy through nasal fenestration were retrospectively analyzed. All cases underwent nasal endoscopy and CT examination before the operation. The mucosal membrane of the parietal wall of the cyst was excised through fenestration of the nasal base. The cyst fluid was removed by decompression, and the bony opening of the nasal base was trimmed and enlarged to the edge of the cyst. The intraoperative and postoperative effects were observed. Results:All cases were well exposed under the direct vision of nasal endoscope. The top wall of the cyst was removed to maximize the communication between the cyst cavity and the nasal floor. There were no complications such as nasolacrimal duct injury, turbinate atrophy, necrosis, and facial numbness. All patients were followed up for 6-12 months, and the clinical symptoms gradually disappeared after surgery. The inferior turbinate was in good shape, the cyst cavity was smooth, the cyst wall was determined, and no cyst recurrence was observed. Conclusion:The treatment of odontogenic cyst of maxilla under nasal endoscope through nasal fenestration is convenient. It has less trauma, fewer complications and a satisfactory curative effect, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2023;30(11):1689-1692
Objective:To analyze the risk factors of Henoch-Schonlein purpura complicated by renal injury.Methods:Ninety patients with Henoch-Schonlein purpura admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from May 2019 to March 2022 were included in this study. A retrospective cohort study was conducted, and patients were divided into a non-renal injury group and a renal injury group based on whether they were complicated by renal injury. Clinical data were collected from the two groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the relevant risk factors for Henoch-Schonlein purpura complicated by renal injury.Results:There were no significant differences in sex, infection history, abdominal pain, arthralgia, gastrointestinal bleeding, prothrombin time, hemoglobin, albumin, activated partial thromboplastin, fibrinogen, blood lipids, and immunoglobulin levels between the two groups (all P > 0.05). The age of patients in the renal injury group was 49.5 (25, 65.25) years, which was significantly higher than 19 (10, 30.75) in the non-renal injury group ( Z = -4.17, P < 0.05). The incidence of previous purpura in the renal injury group was 36.2% (21/58), which was significantly higher than 9.4% (3/32) in the non-renal injury group ( χ2 = 7.59, P < 0.05). The white blood cell count in the renal injury group was 9.66 (6.80, 14.21) × 10 9/L, which was significantly higher than 7.78 (6.01, 10.53) × 10 9/L in the non-renal injury group ( Z = -2.00, P < 0.05). The platelet count in the renal injury group was 222.50 (189.75, 291.75) × 10 9/L, which was significantly lower than 274.50 (233.00, 322.50) × 10 9/L in the non-renal injury group ( Z = -2.71, P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age ( OR = 1.055, 95% CI: 1.026-1.084) and previous purpura ( OR = 6.610, 95% CI: 1.653-26.428) were independent risk factors for Henoch-Schonlein purpura complicated by renal injury ( P < 0.05). Conclusion:The occurrence of Henoch-Schonlein purpura complicated by renal injury is associated with patient age, history of purpura, white blood cell count, and platelet level.

ObjectiveTo explain the scientific connotation of Morindae Officinalis Radix (MOR) processed by Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gly) by comparing the effect of raw products of MOR and processed products of MOR with different proportions of Gly (GMOs) on the improvement of renal function and hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, the protein expression of Wnt/β-catenin and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)/Smad signal pathways in kidney Yang deficiency model rats induced by adenine. MethodGMOs were prepared according to method under MOR in 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Rat model of kidney Yang deficiency was established by intragastrical administration of adenine, levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol (E2) and testosterone (T) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Levels of urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (SCr) were measured by spectrophotometry, hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to evaluate the pathological changes of kidney, testis and epididymis. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to analyze the protein expression of E-cadherin, α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), Wnt2b, β-catenin, Smad1 and Smad4. ResultMOR processed with 100∶6 and 100∶12 proportions of Gly (short for GMO/100∶6 and GMO/100∶12) had the most obvious improvement on the body posture of kidney Yang deficiency model rats. GMO/100∶12 had the best effect on reducing the levels of BUN, SCr, FSH, LH and the ratio of E2/T. GMO/100∶6 and GMO/100∶12 had the best effect on regulating the protein expression of E-cadherin, α-SMA, Wnt2b, β-catenin, Smad1 and Smad4. ConclusionGMO/100∶6 and GMO/100∶12 have the a good effect on the improvement of renal function and HPG axis in kidney Yang deficiency model rats induced by adenine, which is related with the fact that they can regulate Wnt/β-catenin pathway in renal and testicular tissue and TGF-β1/Smads pathway in testicular tissue.
