Objective:To evaluate the clinical outcomes of endoscopic-assisted polyether ether ketone (PEEK) patient-specific implant (PSI) revision for over-resected mandibles caused by the mandibular angle osteotomy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 24 patients [8 males, 16 females, aged 19-57 (32.5±9.5) years] with 39 over-resected mandibles that underwent PEEK-PSI mandibular angle revision surgery at the Affiliated Friendship Plastic Surgery Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2019 to December 2023. Preoperative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) data were used to design and fabricate customized PEEK PSIs based on individual anatomical requirements. An intraoral incision approach with endoscopic assistance was employed to meticulously dissect soft tissue attachment around the angle region, followed by the implantation of a customized PEEK PSI. Postoperative CBCT scans were performed for 3D reconstruction, with root mean square error (RMSE) and maximum deviation (MaxD) as accuracy metrics. Patients′ satisfaction was assessed preoperatively and ≥6 months postoperatively using the face questionnaire (FACE-Q) scores, which included overall facial appearance, lower face and jawline, appearance distress, psychological health and social function.Results:All 24 patients achieved satisfactory recovery with primary healing of intraoral incisions. No complications such as infection, nerve injury, or implant rejection occurred during follow-up period. Patients′ facial appearance and jaw line contouring were significantly improved. Fine anatomical fitting between PEEK-PSI and defect areas was observed: RMSE ranged from 0.117 to 0.315 mm, and MaxD was (5.485±1.300) mm. FACE-Q scores demonstrated significant improvements after surgery in overall facial appearance [(49.8±5.4) vs (65.0±5.3) scores], lower face and jawline [(42.5±5.3) vs (56.1±4.6) scores], appearance distress [(60.0±6.9) vs (70.6±6.5) scores], psychological health [(62.0±5.0) vs (70.8±5.3) scores], and social function [(60.3±4.3) vs (69.3±5.8) scores] (all P<0.001). Conclusion:Endoscopic-assisted PEEK-PSI revision for over-resected mandibles following mandibular angle osteotomy exhibits high surgical precision and safety, effectively restoring mandibular contour and significantly enhancing patients′ satisfaction.

Objective:To explore the risk factors for in-hospital death after complete recanalization by mechanical thrombectomy and establish a risk prediction model in patients with acute large vessel occlusion stroke of the anterior circulation.Methods:A total of 468 patients with anterior circulation acute large vessel occlusion stroke who underwent mechanical thrombectomy in Stroke Center (Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University), Department of Interventional Therapy (First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University), and Department of Neurointervention and Neurocritical Care (Central Hospital Affiliated to Dalian University of Technology) from January 2016 to November 2023 were selected. All patients achieved complete recanalization (modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction: grading 3) immediately after thrombectomy. The clinical data, laboratory and imaging results of the patients were collected, and these patients were divided into in-hospital death group ( n=52) and in-hospital survival group ( n=416) according to occurrence of in-hospital death (all-cause death). Univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to screen the risk factors for in-hospital death, and a risk prediction model was constructed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of the model, calibration curve and Hosmer-Lemeshow test were used to evaluate the accuracy of the model, and decision curve was used to evaluate the clinical utility of the model. Results:Univariate analysis showed that the in-hospital death group had significantly higher proportions of female patients, patients with atrial fibrillation, and patients with symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage compared with the in-hospital survival group (50.0% vs. 31.3%; 57.7% vs. 41.6%; 38.5% vs.11.8%), and significantly higher baseline blood glucose, and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, neutrophil count, and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio within 24 hours of thrombectomy (8.10 [7.05, 11.79] vs. 7.31[6.46, 9.25], 20 [16, 32] vs. 15 [10, 22], 10.09 [7.87, 13.19] vs. 8.47 [6.73, 10.32], 10.63 [5.87, 15.69] vs. 7.13 [5.16, 10.91], P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that female ( OR=2.533, 95% CI: 1.306-4.910, P=0.006), atrial fibrillation history ( OR=1.999, 95% CI: 1.044-3.827, P=0.037), neutrophil count within 24 hours of thrombectomy ( OR=1.162, 95% CI: 1.055-1.279, P=0.002), and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage ( OR=4.066, 95% CI: 1.897-8.718, P<0.001) were independent risk factors for in-hospital death after complete recanalization; risk prediction model, accordingly, was 0.929×female+0.692×atrial fibrillation history+0.150×neutrophil count+1.403×symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage-5.349 ( P: probability of event occurrence). Area under ROC curve of the model was 0.765 (95% CI: 0.689-0.842, P<0.001); calibration curve and Hosmer-Lemeshow test of the model showed good accuracy ( χ2=7.656, P=0.468); decision curve of the model showed good clinical utility at threshold probability of 0.05-0.90. Conclusion:For patients with acute large vessel occlusion stroke at the anterior circulation complicated with atrial fibrillation, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage or elevated neutrophil count within 24 hours of thrombectomy, or female patients with acute large vessel occlusion stroke at the anterior circulation, in-hospital death still needs to be highly alert after complete recanalization by mechanical thrombectomy.

Objective:To compare the active respiratory circulation technique (ACBT) with the oscillatory positive pressure expiration technique (OPEP) in terms of their ability to improve pulmonary function and minimize complications after cardiac surgery, seeking to define an airway management strategy for such patients.Methods:A total of 101 patients who had undergone cardiac surgery were randomly divided into an ACBT group ( n=50) and an OPEP group ( n=51). On the 1st day after the operation, in addition to conventional medical treatment and early rehabilitation, the subjects were additionally provided with daily 20-minute sessions of ACBT or OPEP training for seven consecutive days. Before the operation, and on the 3rd and 7th day afterward, lung function was assessed using a pulmonary edema imaging assessment system (RALE), computed tomography and pulmonary function indexes. Any complications were also noted. Six-minute walking distance and the Barthel index quantified exercise endurance and ability in the activities of daily living, respectively. Turbidimetry was used to determine the levels of C-reactive protein in the blood. The duration of mechanical ventilation required, ICU stay time, length of postoperative and total hospital stays were also recorded. Results:On day seven after the operation, the average RALE scores of the ACBT and OPEP groups were (12.40±4.37) and (10.20±4.66), respectively—a significant difference. At the same time point, the incidence of atelectasis in the OPEP group was significantly lower than in the ACBT group. The OPEP group′s average maximum inspiratory pressure was a greater percentage of the predicted value, and its average 6-minute walk and BI score were also better. On the 3rd day after the operation, the incidence of lung consolidation in the ACBT group was significantly lower than that in the OPEP group, on average.Conclusions:The curative effect of ACBT is better than that of OPEP in the first few days after such an operation, but after a week OPEP more effectively restores respiratory muscle strength and relieves pulmonary complications. It is recommended to apply these two techniques in stages to optimize postoperative airway management. RALE scoring is an ideal tool for dynamic monitoring of pulmonary complications after cardiac surgery.

Objective:To investigate the clinical outcomes of using autologous mandibular outer cortex "sandwich" grafting to augment mandible for correcting lower facial asymmetry with normal occlusal relationships.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of patients with lower facial asymmetry treated at the Department of Plastic Surgery, the Affiliated Friendship Plastic Surgery Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, from January 2016 to December 2019. Preoperative cone-beam CT (CBCT) scans of the maxillofacial region were obtained to acquire three-dimensional data of the maxillofacial skeleton. Computer-aided design was used to determine the osteotomy range of the mandibular outer cortex and design osteotomy guide template. The outer cortex of the larger mandibular side (donor site) was harvested according to the osteotomy guide template and sectioned. The segmented mandibular outer cortex was then contoured to match the arc of the recipient side’s mandibular outer cortex and fixed to the inner side of the recipient mandibular outer cortex, thus increasing the width and thickness of the expanded mandible. Follow-up was conducted at 7th day and 6 months postoperatively, CBCT scan was performed to measure the changes in ramus height (Co-Go), mandibular body length (Go-Me), and mandibular outer cortex thickness, and volume, and the patient satisfaction with facial appearance (1 to 5 points, with higher scores indicating higher satisfaction), were assessed to evaluate surgical outcomes. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 12.0 software. Paired t-tests were used to compare patient satisfaction scores preoperatively and six months postoperatively. Repeated measurement ANOVA was used to compare Co-Go and Go-Me measurements preoperatively, 7th day, and 6 months postoperatively. If a statistically significant difference is found, further analysis using post-hoc testing(Tukey’s HSD test) will be conducted to examine the data. Results:Sixteen patients with lower facial asymmetry were included, comprising of 5 males and 11 females, aged 18 to 40 years, with an average age of 25.2 years. Surgical method included contralateral mandibular outer cortex "sandwich" grafting to the expanded mandible in 9 cases and simultaneous genioplasty in 7 cases. Follow-up ranged from 6 months to 5 years, with an average follow-up of 18.6 months. All patients experienced numbness of the lower lip postoperatively, which resolved within six months, and no severe complications occurred. The symmetry of lower facial contour improved significantly and remained stable. Patient satisfaction score for facial appearance increased from (1.63±0.62) points preoperatively to (4.19±0.75) points six months postoperatively( P<0.01). The differences in Co-Go on the donor side and Go-Me on the recipient side across the three time points(preoperatively, 7th day and 6 months postoperatively) were not statistically significant(all P>0.05). However, the differences in Go-Me on the donor side and Co-Go on the recipient side across the three time points were statistically significant(all P<0.05). On the donor side, the mandibular outer cortex thickness decreased by a maximum of 6 mm on 7th day postoperatively and increased by a maximum of 2 mm at 6 months postoperatively compared to 7th day. On the recipient side, mandibular outer cortex thickness increased by a maximum of 6 mm on 7th day postoperatively and decreased by a maximum of 2 mm at six months postoperatively compared to 7th day. The volume of the mandibular outer cortex on the recipient side increased by (4 415.94±1 017.21)mm 3 at 7th day postoperatively compared to preoperatively, and decreased by (202.63±300.85)mm 3 at 6 months postoperatively. Conclusion:For lower facial asymmetrical with normal occlusal relationships and no occlusal plane deviation, contralateral mandibular outer cortex "sandwich" bone grafting can effectively increase the width and volume of the mandible on the grafted side, achieving favorable clinical outcomes.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of correcting breast ptosis using the rotational filling of an inferolaterally pedicled tongue-shaped parenchymal flap via a double periareolar incision.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 34 female patients (68 breasts) with breast ptosis treated at the Department of Plastic Surgery at the Affiliated Friendship Plastic Surgery Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2016 to June 2023. The patients＇ ages ranged from 23 to 53 years, with an average of (37.4±7.9) years. All patients underwent correction of breast ptosis using an inferolaterally pedicled tongue-shaped parenchymal flap via a double periareolar incision. Pre-operative and post-operative measurements were taken to assess the corrective outcomes, including mammary base width (MBW), areola diameter (AD), nipple-to-nipple distance (NN), suprasternal notch-to-nipple distance (SSN-N), nipple-to-inframammary fold distance (N-IMF), and thoracic circumference at the nipple level (TN). Patients＇ satisfaction was assessed using the BREAST-questionnaire (BREAST-Q) module.Results:Postoperative first-stage wound healing was achieved in all 34 patients without complications such as hematoma, infection, or nipple necrosis. The follow-up period ranged from 6 to 60 months, with a median of 12 months. Early postoperative observations showed periareolar folds, which disappeared within 3 to 6 months in 31 cases, while mild periareolar folds, persisted for up to 12 months in 3 cases. Four patients reported reduced nipple sensation postoperatively. Measurements showed a statistically significant increase in TN and a reduction in NN, SSN-N, AD, N-IMF, and MBW compared to preoperative values (all P<0.001). BREAST-Q scores indicated significant improvements in satisfaction with breasts, psychosocial well-being and physical well-being, with preoperative scores of (21.6±8.9), (42.4±11.9) and (49.7±12.9) scores increasing to (82.3±8.5), (81.9±8.1) and (81.2±8.3) scores, respectively (all P<0.001). Conclusions:The double periareolar incision technique with rotational filling of an inferolaterally pedicled tongue-shaped glandular flap is a safe and effective method for correcting breast ptosis.

Aiming at the problem of low recognition accuracy of motor imagery electroencephalogram signal due to individual differences of subjects, an individual adaptive feature representation method of motor imagery electroencephalogram signal is proposed in this paper. Firstly, based on the individual differences and signal characteristics in different frequency bands, an adaptive channel selection method based on expansive relevant features with label F (ReliefF) was proposed. By extracting five time-frequency domain observation features of each frequency band signal, ReliefF algorithm was employed to evaluate the effectiveness of the frequency band signal in each channel, and then the corresponding signal channel was selected for each frequency band. Secondly, a feature representation method of common space pattern (CSP) based on fast correlation-based filter (FCBF) was proposed (CSP-FCBF). The features of electroencephalogram signal were extracted by CSP, and the best feature sets were obtained by using FCBF to optimize the features, so as to realize the effective state representation of motor imagery electroencephalogram signal. Finally, support vector machine (SVM) was adopted as a classifier to realize identification. Experimental results show that the proposed method in this research can effectively represent the states of motor imagery electroencephalogram signal, with an average identification accuracy of (83.0±5.5)% for four types of states, which is 6.6% higher than the traditional CSP feature representation method. The research results obtained in the feature representation of motor imagery electroencephalogram signal lay the foundation for the realization of adaptive electroencephalogram signal decoding and its application.
