Objective:To evaluate the effect of mixed reality (MR) in the standardized resident training on oral and maxillofacial-head and neck tumor surgery.Methods:Twenty resident doctors, who received standardized training in the department of maxillofacial oncology of our hospital, were randomly divided into experimental group and control group. The MR teaching method was used in the experimental group, while the traditional teaching method was used in the control group. The teaching effect was evaluated by theoretical and operational tests and a questionnaire survey. Statistical analysis was performed with the SPSS 24.0 software. Statistical comparisons were performed by the Students' t-test or the Wilcoxon rank correlation test. Results:The theoretical test results showed that the scores of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group (85.30±3.59 vs. 80.20±5.63, t = 2.41, P = 0.027). The operational test results showed that the scores of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group (89.20±5.07 vs. 82.30±6.36, t = 2.68, P = 0.015). The questionnaire survey results showed that the MR teaching helped to easily acquire the knowledge of head and neck anatomy and operation skills. Besides, the doctors in the experimental group were more active and glad to communicate with others than those in the control group. In addition, the MR teaching method improved the learning interest of doctors. The doctors in the experimental group were more satisfied with the teaching effect than those in the control group, and they recommended that the MR teaching method be used in clinical training and teaching on oral and maxillofacial-head and neck tumor surgery. Conclusion:MR teaching can help doctors understand and master the knowledge of head and neck anatomy and operation skills and improve their learning interest, achieving a good teaching effect, so it has important application value in the standardized resident training on oral and maxillofacial-head and neck tumor surgery.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy and adverse reactions of albumin-bound paclitaxel (Nab-P) and conventional paclitaxel combined with cisplatin and concurrent radiotherapy for the treatment of patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.Methods:Forty-nine patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma admitted to the First People's Hospital of Suqian from November 2016 to May 2020 were included. Of the 49 patients, 23 cases were treated with Nab-P combined with cisplatin and concurrent radiotherapy (NP group), 26 cases were treated with conventional paclitaxel combined with cisplatin and concurrent radiotherapy (TP group). All patients received 2 cycles of chemotherapy. The curative efficacy was evaluated one month after the end of radiotherapy, and the curative effect and adverse reactions of the two treatment regimens were compared.Results:The objective remission rate in NP group was 78.3% (18/23), and the disease control rate was 100.0% (23/23). The objective response rate in TP group was 61.5% (16/26), and the disease control rate was 92.3% (24/26). The objective response rate and disease control rate in NP group were higher than those in TP group, but the differences were not statistically significant (both P > 0.05). The common adverse reactions were mainly hair loss, loss of appetite, bone marrow suppression, radiation esophagitis, radiation pneumonia, malaise and myalgia. The incidence rate of grade 3-4 acute bone marrow suppression in NP group (8.7%, 2/23) was lower than that in TP group (38.5%, 10/26), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 4.35, P = 0.037). The incidence rate of myalgia in NP group (26.1%, 6/23) was lower than that in TP group (61.5%, 16/26), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 4.85, P = 0.028). Conclusions:Nab-P combined with cisplatin and concurrent radiotherapy has good efficacy in the treatment of patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, and the incidence rate of adverse reactions is lower than that of conventional paclitaxel combined with cisplatin and concurrent radiotherapy, so that the regimen is safe.

Objective:To compare the effect of three-dimensional CT angiography (CTA) and color Doppler ultrasound (CDU) in reconstruction of soft tissue defects after oral cancer surgery with anterolateral thigh flap (ALTF).Methods:Patients who underwent reconstruction of postoperative defects with ALTF in Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, the Affiliated Stomatological Hospital of Southwest Medical University from January 2013 to January 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. According to the imaging method used for examining perforating artery, all patients were divided into two groups. In group A, CTA and three-dimensional vascular reconstruction were used to locate the lateral femoral circumflex artery and its perforating vessels, and the individualized ALTF was designed. In group B, the lateral circumflex femoral artery and its perforating vessels were located by CDU. The clinical features, operation time, flap survival rate, postoperative complication rate, image quality of angiography, difference of superficial skin points of perforating vessels before and during operation, and diameter of perforators were compared between the two groups. The measurement data were expressed by Mean±SD, and the differences between the two groups were compared by independent sample t-test; paired sample t-test was used to compare the intra-group differences; patients’ clinical features and other enumeration data were expressed in the number of cases (%), and analyzed by chi-square test; reliability analysis was adopted for the image quality score of two doctors at different times, taking Cronbach’s α value; correlations between body mass index (BMI) and flap survival rate were tested by Pearson correlation, whereas the correlation between flap survival rate and underlying diseases, drug combination, bad smoking and drinking habits, and surgical complications were tested by Spearman correlation, which were all performed using SPSS version 20.0 at significance level P<0.05. Results:A total of 50 patients with oral cancer were collected, 25 patients in each group. There were no significant differences between the two groups in clinical features such as sex distribution, age, TNM stage, BMI, underlying diseases, drug combination, bad smoking and drinking habits, tumor location and so on ( P>0.05). The mean operation time of group A was significantly shorter than that of group B[(67.64±5.94) min vs. (70.88±4.88) min, P<0.05]. All flaps in group A survived; one case in group B had complete flap necrosis. There was no significant difference in flap survival rate between the two groups(100% vs. 96%, P>0.05). One case in group A and two cases in group B had complications such as effusion of donor site wound, and there was no significant difference ( P>0.05). Compared with the image quality of the two groups, the angiographic quality score of group A was significantly higher than that of group B, the difference was statistically significant [(3.08±0.64) scores vs. (2.56±0.65) scores, P<0.05]. In group A, the distance difference between the position of the skin superficial point of perforator vessel positioned before operation and during operation was significantly shorter than that in group B, and the difference was statistically significant [(1.32±0.50) mm vs. (1.75±0.84) mm, P<0.05]. In group A, the diameter of perforating artery measured by imaging before operation was (1.68±0.17) mm, which had no significant difference with the actual value[(1.70±0.18) mm] ( P>0.05); whereas, in group B, the diameter of perforating artery measured by imaging before operation was (1.77±0.14) mm. The actual measured value during operation was (1.66±0.15) mm, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). A significant correlation emerged between surgical complications and flap survival rate ( r=0.57, P<0.001), however, there were no significant correlations between BMI, combined with basic diseases, combined medication, bad smoking and drinking habits and flap survival ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Compared with CDU, CTA combined with three-dimensional vascular reconstruction is a feasible and reliable method for preoperative evaluation, flap design. The flap preparation time is shorter. Therefore, it is a good method of preoperative vascular localization.
