Objective To investigate the causal association of liver function and lipid metabolism levels with sleep disorders based on the Mendelian randomization analysis.Methods The analysis was conducted using the data from genome-wide association studies,with the exposure factors of liver function and lipid metabolism levels(alanine aminotransferase[ALT],aspartate aminotransferase[AST],gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase[GGT],albumin[Alb],serum total protein[TP],total bilirubin[TBil],alkaline phosphatase[ALP],triglyceride[TG],triglyceride-to-glycerol-3-phosphate[TG/G3P]ratio,total cholesterol[TC],high-density lipoprotein cholesterol[HDL-C],low-density lipoprotein cholesterol[LDL-C],poly-unsaturated fatty acids[PUFA],total fatty acids[TFA],PUFA/TFA ratio)and the outcome factor of sleep disorders(nonorganic).The regression models including inverse variance weighted,MR-Egger,Simple mode,weighted median,and Weighted mode were used to perform the Mendelian randomization analysis.Results Serum Alb(odds ratio[OR]=0.728,95%confidence interval[CI]:0.535-0.989,P＜0.05),HDL-C(OR=0.879,95%CI:0.784-0.986,P＜0.05),and PUFA/TFA ratio(OR=0.800,95%CI:0.642-0.998,P＜0.05)were negatively associated with sleep disorders,while TG/G3P ratio(OR=1.222,95%CI:1.044-1.431,P＜0.05)was positively associated with sleep disorders.The results of Mendelian randomization did not show a causal association of ALT,AST,GGT,TP,TBil,ALP,TG,TC,LDL-C,PUFA,and TFA with sleep disorders(all P＞0.05).The results of the MR-Egger intercept test showed no pleiotropy(P＞0.05),and Mendelian randomization was a valid method for causal inference in this study.Conclusion According to the results of the Mendelian randomization analysis,liver function and lipid metabolism show significant association with sleep disorders.Liver function and lipid metabolism can be used as indicators for predicting the risk of sleep disorders and performing intervention.

Objective:To evaluate the advantages of cortical perichondrium retention of costal cartilage in tip plasty.Methods:A total of 618 female cases were retrospectively analyzed from July 2017 to July 2018 in Zhengzhou Meilai Medical Beauty Hospital that underwent comprehensive line of rib cartilage rhinoplasty for beauty, aged 18-52 years with mean 27±6 years. According to different modification graft used in plasty, the cases were divided into reserve costal perichondrium cortex group (experimental group) and simple rib cartilage cortex group (control group). Statistical analyses were carried out 1 month and 12 months after operation. The tip displacement visualization was compared between the two groups and the advantages and disadvantages were evaluated in both.Results:After the surgery of the 618 patients, the rate of displacement in the experimental group was 3.6%, and that in the control group was 7.9% (χ 2=4.95, P<0.05). The rate of the implant exposure in the experimental group was 4.7%, and that in the control group was 9.1% (χ 2=4.38, P<0.05). The reserve costal perichondrium cortex used in the nasoplasty kept the prominent and stable nasal tip after the operation, and longterm follow-up showed there were no displacement and deformation occured in the patients. Conclusions:The application of costal cartilaginous cortex retaining costal perichondrium in tip plasty can obtain good nasal tip protrusion and stable rotation. It is an ideal nasal tip shaping material and worthy of clinical application.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical effect of remodeling the dense dermal fiber structure in the suprapical region on the correction of nasal hypertrophy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was carried out in beauty-seeking patients who underwent comprehensive costal cartilage rhinoplasty with nasal hypertrophy in our hospital from September 2016 to February 2018. The technique of horizontal scratch reconstruction and deep dermal suture fixation at the tip of the nose was used to fix the dense fibrous dermal fiber structure in the suprapical area. Photos were followed up 12 months after the operation to observe whether the suprapical area had arch and upward displacement of the nasal tip.Results:All patients healed primarily, and the patients were satisfied with the effects. Follow-up results showed that only one female patient showed upshift of nasal tip after surgery among the 57 patients with hypertrophy of nasal tip for beauty. The remaining 56 patients had no upward movement of the nose tip and arching of the upper turning area.Conclusions:By reshaping the dense dermal fiber structure of the suprapical area, the suprapical area of the patients who seek beauty after the operation will have a natural transition, beautiful shape and stable nasal structure.

Objective To observe multimodal imaging characteristics in eyes with focal choroidal excavation (FCE) and preliminarily analyze the risk factors in FCE with complications correlated with RPE.Methods A retrospective case series.Thirty-one patients (31 eyes) with monocular FCE,first identified by spectral-domain (SD)-OCT in the Eye Center of The Second People's Hospital of Foshan from December 2014 to December 2018,were involved in this study.There were 14 males and 17 females,with the mean age of 45.84± 13.57 years.All patients underwent BCVA,optometry,and SD-OCT examinations.FFA and ICGA were simultaneously performed in 3 FCE patients with RPE complications.The subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) and excavation width were measured with enhanced depth imaging OCT (EDI-OCT).The eyes with FCE were divided into two groups (FCE alone group 17 eyes vs.FCE complication group 14 eyes),based on whether complicated by RPE dysfunction.Among 14 eyes of FCE complication group,7 (22.6％) with choroidal neovascularization,4 (12.9％) with central serous chorioretinopathy,1 (3.2％) with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy,and 2 (6.5％) with RPE detachment.No significant difference was found in the mean age (t=0.87),gender composition (x2=0.06),ocular laterality (x2=2.58),and spherical equivalent (t=-0.81) between two groups,respectively (P＞0.05),except that the BCVA was significantly different (t=-2.11,P＜0.05).The SFCT and excavation width of eyes in both groups and the ICGA imaging characteristics of eyes in FCE complication group were analyzed.Risk factors of FCE with RPE complications were analyzed by logistic regression analysis.Results Thirty-three excavations were identified in 31 eyes with FCE.The mean SFCT was 167.00± 85.18 μm in FCE alone group vs.228.36± 67.95 μm in FCE complication group,while the excavation width was 645.00 ± 231.93 μm vs.901.00± 420.55 μm and they were both significantly different (P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed the SFCT (OR=1.016,P=0.026) and excavation width (OR=1.004,P=0.034) were risk factors for RPE complications of FCE.EDI-OCT showed the RPE at the excavation was impaired or vulnerable in all eyes of the FCE alone group,especially at the boundary area of excavation.The RPE damages were located at the boundary area of excavation in 10 eyes (71.4％) of FCE complication group.Constant choroidal hypofluorescence and filling defect were observed under the excavation in 3 eyes with ICGA imaging.Conclusions SFCT and excavation width may be risk factors for RPE complications of FCE.Impairment of RPE at boundary area of excavation and focal choroidal ischemia or aberrant circulation under the excavation may correlate with the development of FCE complications.
