Objective:To evaluate the effect of digital design combined with 3D printing technology in the repair of mandibular defects with fibular myocutaneous flap.Methods:From July 2017 to August 2022, 25 patients with mandibular defects repaired by fibular musculocutaneous flap after oral tumor surgery were retrospectively analyzed. The cohort consisted of 25 patients (16 male, 9 female) aged 19-68 (42.5±5.3) years. The patients were divided into two groups according to different fibula shaping methods: Study group (11 cases): digital design combined with 3D printing technology was used for fibula shaping; Control group (14 cases): conventional fibula shaping was performed based on the surgeon's experience.Results:The fibula shaping time in the study group was (51.2±4.2) min, which was shorter than that in the control group (79.1±8.0) min ( P<0.001). The study group showed higher satisfaction scores for facial appearance compared to the control group [(8.3±0.8) vs (6.9±0.6) points, P<0.001]. The survival rates were 11/11 in the study group and 13/14 in the control group, with a significantly higher survival rate observed in the study group ( P<0.001). At 3 months postoperatively, the mouth opening measurements were (3.5±0.2) cm in the study group and (3.5±0.1) cm in the control group, showed no statistically significant difference ( P=0.334). Conclusion:The application of digital design combined with 3D printing technology in fibula musculocutaneous flap reconstruction of mandibular defects reduces fibula shaping time, improves flap survival rates, and yields higher patient satisfaction with facial aesthetics.

Objective:To evaluate the nutritional status of children with aplastic anemia(AA)using the children's nutritional risk index(CNRI),prognostic nutritional index(PNI),controlling nutritional status(CONUT),instant nutritional assessment(INA),and combined index(CI),in order to provide scientific evidence to support clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of pediatric AA patients treated in the Department of Pediatrics,Ward 1,First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from January 1st,2019 to April 30st,2024.Nutritional status was assessed using CNRI,PNI,CONUT,and INA,and integrated into CI.The agreement between different nutritional screening tools was evaluated using Kappa statistics. Results:A total of 68 pediatric AA patients were included,with an overall malnutrition prevalence of 44.1%.The malnutrition rates were 39.4% in the body mass index(BMI)normal group and 48.6% in the BMI abnormal group.Across disease severity groups,malnutrition was observed in 66.67% of very severe AA(VSAA)patients,54.17% of severe AA(SAA)patients,and 28.13% of non-severe AA(NSAA)patients,and the difference was statistically significant( χ2=6.778, P=0.034). Kappa analysis demonstrated the highest concordance between CONUT,INA,and CI,with Kappa values of 0.882( P<0.001). Conclusion:Pediatric AA patients have a high prevalence of malnutrition,and their nutritional status decline significantly with increasing disease severity.CONUT and INA are effective tools for assessing nutritional status in children with AA,providing reliable evidence for clinical evaluation.
