Objective:To evaluate the treatment strategies and outcomes for contracted nasal deformity.Methods:A retrospective review was conducted of the patients with contracted noses who underwent surgery at the Department of Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery, the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, between January 2021 and January 2024. Based on the pathologic-anatomic features and severity of the deformity, patients were categorized as having mild, moderate or severe contraction. Mild cases received extensive subcutaneous dissection and framework reconstruction with various grafts. Moderate cases underwent preoperative nasal-skin distraction and intra-operative reconstruction with lower lateral or septal cartilage. Severe cases, in addition to reconstruction of the lower lateral cartilage and nasal septum, underwent individualized repair, including mucosal or cutaneous defect resurfacing. Postoperative follow-up assessed nasal appearance, complications and recurrence of contraction. Nasal aesthetics were quantified with visual analogue scale (VAS, 0-10 points; higher scores = less deformity), and patient satisfaction with the rhinoplasty outcome evaluation (ROE) questionnaire (0 = very dissatisfied, 100 = very satisfied) before surgery and at final follow-up. Paired t-test was used for VAS and ROE comparisons; categorical variables were analyzed with the χ2 test. A P-value < 0.05 denoted statistical significance. Results:A total of 96 patients were included, comprising 7 males and 89 females, aged (27.4 ± 8.0) years (19-58 years). There were 64 cases of mild, 19 cases of moderate, and 13 cases of severe contracted nose deformities. Postoperative follow-up(14.0 ± 4.6) months (6-19 months). No cases of abnormal nasal appearance, infection, necrosis, scar hyperplasia, or recurrence of contracted nose were observed during follow-up. Significant improvements in nasal aesthetic outcomes were observed. The VAS scores for mild, moderate, and severe contracted noses increased significantly from preoperative values of 4.7 ± 1.0, 3.0 ± 1.2, and 2.2± 1.1 to postoperative values of 8.6 ± 0.7, 8.9 ± 0.7, and 8.2 ± 0.9, respectively (all P < 0.01). Similarly, the ROE scores improved significantly from 59.1 ± 10.0, 34.2 ± 12.1, and 28.5± 6.3 preoperatively to 90.2 ± 9.5, 91.5 ± 7.5, and 93.3 ± 5.8 postoperatively (all P < 0.01). Conclusion:Selecting appropriate surgical methods based on the pathological and anatomical characteristics and severity of contracted nose deformities can achieve favorable outcomes. Postoperative nasal aesthetic appearance is significantly improved, and patient satisfaction is high.

Objective:To explore the current situation of fear of progression among parents of school-age children with asthma, and to analyze the latent profile categories and influencing factors, so as to provide the reference for the formulation of prevention and intervention.Methods:Using convenient sampling method, school-age children with asthma and their parents treated in the Affiliated Children's Hospital of Xiangya School of Medicine, Central South University from March to August 2023 were selected as the study objects. The General Data Questionnaire, Parent Fear of Progression Scale, Childhood Asthma Control Test, and Social Support Rating Scale were used to investigate school-age children with asthma and their parents. Latent profile analysis was performed on the fear of disease progression among parents of school-age children with asthma, and χ2 test and binary Logistic regression were used to explore the influencing factors. Results:A total of 210 parents of the children were included with 51 fathers and 159 mothers.The age distribution was 20-30 years old with 42 parents, 31-40 years old with 112 parents, 41-50 years old with 56 parents. In 210 children with asthma, there were 123 males and 87 females, with 141 cases aged<10 years old and 69 cases aged ≥10 years old. The fear of progression among parents of school-age children with asthma could be divided into two potential profile categories: "psychological dysfunction group (46.7%, 98/210)" and "psychological health good group (53.3%, 112/210)". The results of binary Logistic regression analysis showed that asthma family history, combined allergic rhinitis, child-parent relationship, marital status, asthma symptom control level, and social support level were the influencing factors of fear of progression among parents of school-age children with asthma( OR values were 0.925-10.010, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The fear of progression among parents of school-age children with asthma is at a moderate level, and there are obvious different classification characteristics. In the future, targeted and precise prevention and intervention should be implemented according to the category characteristics of fear of progression among parents of school-age children with asthma.
