OBJECITVE: To investigate the effectiveness of three-dimensional (3D) printing-assisted vascularized fibular graft for repairing metatarsal defects. METHODS: Between November 2021 and February 2024, 11 patients with varying degrees of metatarsal defects caused by trauma were treated. There were 10 males and 1 female, aged 22-67 years, with a mean age of 51.2 years. The defect locations were as follows: the first metatarsal in 4 cases, the fifth metatarsal in 2 cases, the first and the second metatarsals in 1 case, the first to third metatarsals in 1 case, the third and the fourth metatarsals in 1 case, the third to fifth metatarsals in 1 case, and the first to fifth metatarsals in 1 case. The preoperative American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) score was 67.0 (48.5, 72.5). Based on 3D-printed bilateral feet models and mirrored healthy-side foot arch angles for preoperative planning and design, the vascularized fibular graft was performed to repair the metatarsal defects. At last follow-up, the medial and lateral longitudinal arches of bilateral feet were measured on weight-bearing X-ray films, and functional assessment was conducted using the AOFAS score. RESULTS: All operations were successfully completed, with an operation time ranging from 180 to 465 minutes (mean, 246.8 minutes). All incisions healed by first intention, with no occurrence of osteomyelitis. All patients were followed up 6-22 months (mean, 10 months). X-ray film reviews showed bone graft healing in all cases, with a healing time of 3-6 months (mean, 5 months). All patients underwent internal fixator removal at 6-12 months after operation. At last follow-up, no significant difference was observed in the medial and lateral longitudinal arches between the healthy and affected feet ( P>0.05). The AOFAS score of the affected foot was 78.0 (73.5, 84.0), showing a significant improvement compared to the preoperative score ( P<0.05). The effectiveness was rated as excellent in 1 case, good in 7 cases, fair in 2 cases, and poor in 1 case. Linear scarring remained at the donor site, with no functional impairment in adjacent joint movement. CONCLUSION 3D printing-assisted vascularized fibular graft for repairing metatarsal defects can effectively restore the physiological angle of the foot arch, facilitate the recovery of weight-bearing alignment, promote good bone healing, and yield satisfactory clinical outcomes.

Allergen-specific immunotherapy（AIT） remains the only therapeutic approach with the potential to modify the natural course of allergic rhinitis（AR）. Nevertheless, considerable inter-individual variability exists in patients'responses to AIT. To facilitate more reliable assessment of treatment efficacy, the China Rhinopathy Research Cooperation Group（CRRCG） convened young and middle-aged nasal experts in China to formulate the present consensus. The recommended subjective outcome measures for AIT comprise symptom scores, medication scores, combined symptom and medication scores, quality-of-life assessments, evaluation of disease control, and assessment of comorbidities. Objective indicators may supplement these measures. Currently available objective approaches include skin prick testing, nasal provocation testing, and allergen exposure chambers. However, these methods remain constrained by practical limitations and are not yet appropriate for routine implementation in clinical efficacy evaluation. In addition, several biomarkers, including sIgE and the sIgE/tIgE ratio, sIgG4, serum IgE-blocking activity, IgA, cytokines and chemokines, as well as immune cell surface molecules and their functional activity, have been shown to have associations with AIT outcomes. While these biomarkers may complement subjective assessments, they are subject to significant limitations. Consequently, large-scale multicenter trials and real-world evidence are required to strengthen the evidence base. The present consensus underscores the necessity of integrating patients'subjective experiences with objective testing throughout the treatment process, thereby providing a more comprehensive and accurate framework for efficacy evaluation. Looking forward, future investigations should prioritize the incorporation of multi-omics data and artificial intelligence methodologies, which hold promise for overcoming current limitations in assessment strategies and for advancing both the standardization and personalization of AIT.

Objective:To investigate the diagnosis and strategy of individualized functional rhinoplasty based on the overall evaluation of the nasal cavity as a integration.Methods:A prospective study was carried out in the patients who underwent endoscopic functional rhinoplasty at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from February 2018 to August 2021. The overall evaluation of the internal and external structure and function of the nasal cavity was performed before surgery, and the individualized surgical strategies were developed. According to the surgical strategy, nasal septum correction, inferior turbinate ablation, inferior turbinate fracture displacement, inferior turbinate submucous resection, dorsal extended cartilage graft, crooked nose correction, prosthesis or autologous cartilage implantation, hump reduction and osteotomy were performed to adjust the nasal function and aesthetics. Internal nasal valve (INV) angle, INV collapse grade, INV cross-sectional area, and external nasal valve effectiveness (ENVE) index were used to evaluate the structure of nasal valve area. Nasal obstruction symptom assessment (NOSE) scale and nasal resistance [including total nasal resistance (RT), nasal resistance differential ratio (R 1r)] was used to evaluate nasal ventilation function. Facial clinimetric evaluation questionnaire rhinoplasty module (FACE-Q RM), rhinoplasty outcome evaluation (ROE) scale, external nasal subunit measurement was used to evaluate nasal appearance, and self-rating depression scale (SDS) and self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) was used to evaluate psychological status. Finally, the correlation between patient satisfaction and subjective and objective parameters were analyzed. The data before and after operation were compared by paired t-test. Correlation was tested by Pearson analysis. Results:A total of 50 patients were included, including 18 males and 32 females, ranging in age from 23 to 52 years, mean age 35.7 years. All patients had symptoms of nasal congestion, of which 28 cases with crooked nose deformity, 12 cases with nasal valve stenosis, 6 cases with saddle nose deformity, and 4 cases with hump nose. Compared with preoperative, postoperative INV angle was significantly increased, INV collapse grade was decreased, INV cross-sectional area was increased, ENVE index was increased ( P<0.05). After operation, the NOSE score decreased, and nasal resistance showed that RT and R 1r decreased, indicating that nasal congestion symptoms were relieved significantly ( P<0.05). The postoperative FACE-Q RM and ROE scores increased, indicating that patients’ nasal appearance satisfaction increased ( P<0.05), external nasal subunit measurement showed that the upper nasal alar width and lower nasal alar angle were reduced ( P<0.05), the measured value of residual structure has no significant change. Postoperative SDS and SAS scores were significantly lower than preoperative ones, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05).Overall satisfaction was improved( P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that patient satisfaction was positively correlated with INV angle, INV cross-sectional area, ENVE index, and subjective nasal shape score (FACE-Q RM, ROE), and negatively correlated with INV collapse grade, NOSE score, and nasal resistance measurement, but had no correlation with external nasal subunit measurement. Conclusion:Combined with the overall evaluation of nasal structure, nasal ventilation function and external nasal aesthetics, it is beneficial to develop the diagnosis and treatment strategy of individualized functional rhinoplasty, so as to improve patient satisfaction.

the Piezo1-mediated Ca2+influx-induced apoptosis.

Objective:To discuss the repair technique of complicated sunken upper eyelid deformation, caused by postoperative extensive adhesion within upper eyelid, by using adipose tissue transplantation or reset, and to introduce the outcomes of our clinical practice.Methods:From January 2020 to January 2022, 40 female patients (76 eyes) with complicated sunken upper eyelid deformity after double eyelid surgery were repaired in the Comprehensive Ward of Plastic Surgery, Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, with an average age of 34 years (19-49 years). For the sunken upper eyelid with the extensive adhesion after blepharoplasty, reasonably choosing the method of orbital septum fat redistribution, free adipose tissue clump transplantation, and dermo-fat tissue clump transplantation were of great importance. The effectiveness of surgical methods were observed.Results:The repairing surgeries, performed in 40 patients (76 eyelids), were all successful and without severe complications. 98.7% of surgeries got good outcomes appraised by other doctors, and 88.2% of patients were satisfied after follow-up for 4-28 months.Conclusions:The thorough lysis of adhesion and fat clumps distribution or transplantation could not only recover the function, but also improve the appearance of upper eyelid. The surgical method introduced in the present study is a relative ideal approach for repairing the complicated sunken upper eyelid deformation.

in HT22 cell survival rate among the 6 groups was statistically significant(F=5.54,P＜0.05).Compared with the negative control group,HT22 cell survival was decreased in the siMALAT1,siNEAT1,siMALAT1+OGD/R and siNEAT1+OGD/R groups([0.65±0.40],[0.76±0.35],[0.24±0.17],[0.23±0.16]vs.[0.84±0.04],all P＜0.05);cell viability was reduced in the siMALAT1+OGD/R group compared with the siMALAT1 group([0.24±0.17]vs.[0.65±0.40],P＜0.05);and cell viability was reduced in the siNEAT1+OGD/R group compared with the siNEAT1 group([0.23±0.16]vs.[0.76±0.35],P＜0.05).Conclusion HPC increased the expression of MALAT1 and NEAT1 in the hippocampus of mice,and MALAT1 and NEAT1 may participate in the neuroprotective effect of mice after ischemia and hypoxia by affecting the expression of NR2B.
