Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of W-shaped genioplasty in the correction of broad and short chin deformity.Methods:Thirty-eight patients (5 males, 33 females, aged 20 to 41 years, mean 27.3 years) complained with broad and short chin were admitted to the Affiliated Friendship Plastic Surgery Hospitalof Nanjing Medical University from January 2019 to December 2021. CBCT scan and three-dimensional reconstruction were performed to design osteotomy line and determine the distance of chin lengthening, narrowing and advancing or retrocession preoperatively. Under general anesthesia, the W-shaped osteotomy was performed using an intraoral incision, and the angle between the bilateral free bone fragments, the distance of downward and forward movement were adjusted to change the curvature, width, length and prominence of the lower edge of the chin according to the preoperative designs. The results were evaluated by clinical appearances and image analyses at a follow-up of 3-24 months.Results:The amount of vertical lengthening of the chin in 38 cases were 2 mm to 5 mm, with an average of 3.02 mm. The horizontal narrowing width distances were 3-7 mm, with an average of 5.6 mm. The patients were followed up for 3-24 months, with an average of 10.6 months. There were no complications such as hematoma, wound dehiscence, accidental fracture, surgical area infection and permanent neurosensory disorder. 38 patients had transient sensory loss in the lower lip region of varying degrees, but all recovered spontaneously during routine follow-up period. All patients were satisfied with the improvement of facial contour.Conclusions:W-shaped geinoplasty preserves the central bone of the chin and the attachment of genioglossus muscle, which does not affect the normal anatomy and physiological function of the oral cavity. After osteotomy, the bone is removed and the bilateral bone fragments move flexibly. It can effectively change the radian, width, length and protrusion of the lower edge of the chin in three dimensions, so as to correct the wide and short deformity of the chin.

OBJECTIVE: To carry out prenatal diagnosis and genetic analysis for a fetus with disorders of sex development (DSDs). METHODS: A fetus with DSDs who was identified at the Shenzhen People's Hospital in September 2021 was selected as the study subject. Combined molecular genetic techniques including quantitative fluorescence PCR (QF-PCR), multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA), chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA), quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR), as well as cytogenetic techniques such as karyotyping analysis and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) were applied. Ultrasonography was used to observe the phenotype of sex development. RESULTS: Molecular genetic testing suggested that the fetus had mosaicism of Yq11.222qter deletion and X monosomy. Combined with the result of cytogenetic testing, its karyotype was determined as mos 45,X[34]/46,X,del(Y)(q11.222)[61]/47,X,del(Y)(q11.222),del(Y)(q11.222)[5]. Ultrasound examination suggested hypospadia, which was confirmed after elective abortion. Combined the results of genetic testing and phenotypic analysis, the fetus was ultimately diagnosed with DSDs. CONCLUSION This study has applied a variety of genetic techniques and ultrasonography to diagnose a fetus with DSDs with a complex karyotype.

OBJECTIVE To report the analysis and treatment of liver function injury caused by heparin sodium injection in the positive control group in an early clinical study of new drugs, in order to provide reference for the clinical use of heparin sodium injection and provide ideas for the treatment of adverse reactions. METHODS Analyzed and summarized one case of liver injury in a tolerance and pharmacokinetics study of a new anticoagulant drug with both placebo and heparin sodium as control, described the case process, analyzed the cause, and discussed the enlightenment for treatment of adverse event in early clinical research and the safety of heparin sodium in clinical use. RESULTS Three cases occurred different degrees increasing of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase after 4 healthy subjects were infused with heparin sodium for 5 consecutive days. It was considered that those were adverse reactions caused by heparin sodium. Timely treatment was performed by strengthening monitoring and administrating liver protective drugs. Protocol was revised to avoid further injury to the follow-up subjects. CONCLUSION Continuous infusion of heparin sodium injection can easily cause liver function damage, and should be given sufficient attention during clinical use. Early clinical research should promptly analyze and handle adverse reactions to ensure the safety of subjects.

Objective:To investigate the effect of electroporation-mediated local gene therapy on the expression of Wnt3a and β-catenin in callus of distraction gap during mandibular distraction osteogenesis of rabbits.Methods:The experiments were conducted in the laboratory of the Affiliated Friendship Plastic Surgery Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from September 2019 to December 2019. Forty eight New-Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into control group (group A), gene therapy group (group B) and normal saline group (group C), with 16 rabbits in each group. After bilateral mandible osteotomy and distractors were implanted, the distractors were activated at a speed of 0.8 mm/d on 4th day, postoperatively, and lasted for 7 days, followed by consolidation period. Group A distracted only, group B was subject to local injection of recombinant plasmid pIRES-hBMP2-hVEGF165 in the distraction gap and electroporation stimulation at the beginning of activation distractors; and group C local injection of the same dose of normal saline in the distraction gap and electroporation stimulation at the beginning of activation distractors. Four animals in each group were sacrificed on the day at the end of distraction, 7th, 14th, 28th days of consolidation period, respectively. The callus in the distraction gap was taken for immunohistochemical staining and RT-PCR to detect the expression of Wnt3a and β-catenin, and image analysis was performed. SPSS 22.0 statistical software was used for data analysis.Results:Immunohistochemical staining showed that Wnt3a and β-catenin were mainly located in the cytoplasm and nuclei of fibroblasts, chondrocytes and osteoblasts in callus tissue. Immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR showed that the expression of Wnt3a and β-catenin reached a peak at the end of distraction. With the disappearance of distraction tension, the expression of Wnt3a and β-catenin gradually decreased. After gene therapy intervention, the expression of Wnt3a and β-catenin was significantly increased, and the expression of Wnt3a and β-catenin in group B was the highest at each time point, with statistically significant difference compared with groups A and C ( F=96.3, P<0.01). Conclusions:Gene therapy promotes the expression of Wnt3a and β-catenin in the callus of distraction gap, regulating the balance of the bone reconstruction system and thus promoting the formation of new bone in the distraction gap.

Neural crest-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are known to play an essential function during tooth and skeletal development. PRX1⁺ cells constitute an important MSC subtype that is implicated in osteogenesis. However, their potential function in tooth development and regeneration remains elusive. In the present study, we first assessed the cell fate of PRX1⁺ cells during molar development and periodontal ligament (PDL) formation in mice. Furthermore, single-cell RNA sequencing analysis was performed to study the distribution of PRX1⁺ cells in PDL cells. The behavior of PRX1⁺ cells during PDL reconstruction was investigated using an allogeneic transplanted tooth model. Although PRX1⁺ cells are spatial specific and can differentiate into almost all types of mesenchymal cells in first molars, their distribution in third molars is highly limited. The PDL formation is associated with a high number of PRX1⁺ cells; during transplanted teeth PDL reconstruction, PRX1⁺ cells from the recipient alveolar bone participate in angiogenesis as pericytes. Overall, PRX1⁺ cells are a key subtype of dental MSCs involved in the formation of mouse molar and PDL and participate in angiogenesis as pericytes during PDL reconstruction after tooth transplantation.

Objective:To evaluate the accuracy and clinical outcomes of two different three-dimensional(3D) printed digital mandibular angle osteotomy templates.Methods:Female patients with a prominent mandibular angle(PMA) admitted to the same surgical team in the Friendship Plastic Surgery Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from March 2019 to July 2020 were selected as the research subjects. They were allocated into Group A and Group B alternately according to the order of admission. Group A was the conventional digital osteotomy template(CDOT) group, and Group B was the novel digital osteotomy template(NDOT) group. All patients underwent cone-beam computed tomography(CBCT) scan and 3D reconstruction before surgery. Preoperative CT data were imported into Mimics 19.0, and personalized mandibular angle osteotomy(MAO) line and digital osteotomy template(DOT) were designed according to patients’ conditions and requirements. In Group A, the DOTs were designed according to the part of mandibular angle to be removed(CDOT). And in Group B, the DOTs were designed according to to the part of reserved mandible(NDOT). The DOTs were created with a 3D printer. All patients were underwent bilateral MAO under the guidance of these DOTs through an intraoral approach. CBCT scan was also performed on all patients within 1 week after surgery, and incision healing, complications and lower facial contouring were observed. The mean time taken for positioning DOT and performing curved osteotomy, the volume of postoperative drainage on one side within 24 hours after surgery, and the deviations between the preoperative design and 3D reconstruction mode lower mandibular margin within 1 week after surgery were compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 20 female patients with PMA were included, including 10 patients in Group A, aged 20-31 years, with an average of 24.3±2.3 years. Group B consisted of 10 patients aged 22-30 years, with an average of 24.6±2.2 years. There was no significant difference in age between 2 groups ( P>0.05). All patients were successfully performed MAO without fracture, massive bleeding, infection and other complications, and the postoperative result were satisfactory. The mean time taken to position the DOT and perform MAO one side in Group A was (18.1±1.0) min, significantly longer than that in Group B (14.2±1.4) min ( P<0.05). The volume of postoperative drainage on one side within 24 hours in Group A and Group B was (107.9±12.5) ml and (112.1±13.8) ml, respectively ( P>0.05). The deviations between preoperative design and postoperative mandibular margin, at the anterior part was (2.7±1.2) mm in Group A, which was significantly larger than that of Group B[(1.6±0.9) mm]( P<0.05), the middle part deviation of Group A and B was (1.9±0.7) mm and (1.8±0.8) mm, respectively ( P>0.05), and the posterior part deviation of Group A was (2.8±1.1) mm, which was significantly higher than that of Group B (1.8±0.8 mm)( P<0.05). Conclusions:DOT assisted MAO can achieve accurate osteotomy and reduce the operative difficulty. The NDOT is easier to be located in the operation with more stable fixation, and the surgical efficiency and accuracy of osteotomy are higher than that of CDOT.

Objective:To investigate the effect of eyebrow arch augmentation with personalized polyether ether ketone (PEEK) implant assisted by endoscope.Methods:From January 2019 to August 2021, 9 patients with low and flat eyebrow arch requiring eyebrow arch augmentation were treated in the plastic surgery department of the Friendship Plastic Surgery Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University. The cranial and maxillofacial CT scanning data were obtained before operation, the eyebrow arch elevation range and height were designed according to the patient's requirements, and personalized peek implants were manufactured. During the operation, a small temporal hairline incision was used to accurately separate the implantation cavity of individualized peek implants under the periosteum of the eyebrow arch implantation area with the aid of endoscope. Personalized PEEK implants were implanted under endoscope to make them fully fit with the eyebrow arch bone and fixed with titanium nails. Photos were taken and analyzed before and after operation.Results:All patients were followed up for 3 months to 2 years. Their facial expressions were normal, and there were no motor nerve injury, rejection and iatrogenic infection. The patients were satisfied with the postoperative effect. Compared with before operation, the low level of orbital bone in eyebrow area was improved, and the facial contour was three-dimensional and harmonious.Conclusions:The eyebrow arch augmentation with individualized peek implant assisted by endoscope is safe and effective. It can greatly reshape the upper contour of the face, deepen the upper eyelid fossa and improve the convex eye phenomenon, so as to achieve the cosmetic effect of enhancing the three-dimensional sense of the eyebrow orbital area, which is worthy of clinical application.
