Abstract: Objective The aim of this study was to observe the expression levels and clinical significance of peripheral blood interferon γ-inducible protein-10 (IP-10) and various cytokines in patients with different infection statuses of tuberculosis and to assess the efficacy of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in the progression to active tuberculosis (ATB). Methods Seventy-six outpatient and inpatient cases from the Third People's Hospital of Kunming were collected and analyzed from March 2023 to February 2024. The patients were divided into three groups: ATB group (31 cases, 17 males, median age 33 years), LTBI group (27 cases, 17 males, median age 29 years), and healthy control (HC) group (18 cases, 11 males, median age 25 years). Peripheral blood samples from the three groups were taken and the expression levels of IP-10 and cytokines IL-6, IL-4, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12, IL-2, and TNF-α were detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods. The t-test was used for normally distributed samples, while the Mann-Whitney U test was used for skewed distributions. For comparisons between multiple groups, the Kruskal-Wallis H test was first employed, followed by Dunn's multiple comparison test for pairwise comparisons. Finally, the effectiveness of each cytokine in distinguishing different population groups was analyzed. Results The expression levels of peripheral blood IP-10 were higher in the LTBI and ATB groups than in the HC group, but the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) of the subjects showed moderate sensitivity (AUC:0.7-0.9) and low specificity (AUC:0.5-0.7). The IL-6 expression levels were in the order of high to low in the ATB group, LTBI group, and HC group, where the HC group was significantly lower than the ATB and LTBI groups (F=12.15, P<0.001). The sensitivity and specificity of the ATB group were higher than those in the HC group. Conclusions IP-10 exhibits unique advantages in distinguishing different tuberculosis statuses. The predictive efficacy of a single cytokine is limited. Combining multiple cytokines such as IL-6 with clinical manifestations, a more accurate and comprehensive prediction model can be established.

Objective:To investigate the condylar resorption and influencing factors in post mandibular distraction osteogenesis of the hemifacial microsomia patients.Methods:This retrospective study investigated the clinical data of hemifacial microsomia patients who underwent mandibular distraction osteogenesis in the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from October 2008 to August 2021. Three-dimensional models of pre-operation and pre-distractor extraction were created by the analysis of CT data via ProPlan CMF 3.0. The height and volume of the condyle were measured. Data were analyzed statistically. According to the changes of condylar height and volume pre- and post-operation, the condylar height resorption rate and volume resorption rate could be calculated. The volume resorption rate of the affected side between Type-Ⅱa and Type-Ⅱb hemifacial microsomia patients, hemifacial microsomia patients whether wearing a bite plate, prereproductive and adolescent hemifacial microsomia patients were compared with the Mann-Whitney U test. The Spearman correlation coefficient analysis was used to determine the correlations of the condylar volume resorption rate and condylar height resorption rate in the affected side with measurements of elogation distance, preoperative condylar height, patient age, and distractor remaining time in mandible. P<0.05 indicates that the difference was statistically significant. Results:Forty-seven Type-Ⅱa hemifacial microsomia patients(36 male patients, 11 female patients) were included, patient age ranged from 5 to 20 years and the mean age was (8.49±2.60) years, 36 patients were in the prereproductive age(5-<10 years old), and 11 patients were in the adolescent age(10-20 years old). Forty-six Type-Ⅱb hemifacial microsomia patients(34 male patients, 12 female patients) were included, patient age ranged from 5 to 20 years and the mean age was (8.93±3.43) years. Thirty-six patients were in the prereproductive age(5-<10 years-old), and ten patients were in the adolescent age(10-20 years-old). The follow-up period of Type-Ⅱa hemifacial microsomia patients was (8.49±2.60) months, and the follow-up period of Type-Ⅱb hemifacial microsomia patients was (9.79±2.59) months. Facial asymmetry was improved effectively. Surgical part of the bone had good osteogenesis. Mouth opening and closing, speech, and eating were all normal. The condylar volume resorption rate 34.8%(19.1%, 54.3%) in the affected side of Type-Ⅱa hemifacial microsomia was significantly associated with the elogation distance ( r=0.46, P=0.001), and it had no correlation with the height of the affected condyle ( r=-0.12, P=0.421), age of patients ( r=-0.06, P=0.691), and distractor remaining time in mandible ( r=-0.10, P=0.517). The condylar volume resorption rate 61.0%(11.2%, 95.0%) in the affected side of Type-Ⅱb hemifacial microsomia was significantly associated with the height of the affected condyle ( r=-0.45, P=0.002) and had weak correlation with the elogation distance ( r=0.29, P=0.049), and it had no correlation with age of patients ( r=0.06, P=0.705), and distractor remaining time in mandible ( r=0.21, P=0.157). However, there was no significant difference in terms of the condylar volume resorption rate of the affected side between Type-Ⅱa and Type-Ⅱb hemifacial microsomia ( z=-1.90, P=0.058). Whether the hemifacial microsomia patients wearing a bite plate following mandibular distraction osteogenesis did not affect the condylar volume resorption rate of the affected side ( z=-1.17, P=0.242 in Type-Ⅱa hemifacial microsomia, z=-0.17, P=0.869 in Type-Ⅱb hemifacial microsomia). The condylar volume resorption rate of the affected side had no significant difference between prereproductive and adolescent hemifacial microsomia patients ( z=-0.18, P=0.860 in Type Ⅱa hemifacial microsomia, z=-1.50, P=0.134 in Type-Ⅱb hemifacial microsomia). Conclusion:Condylar resorption of the affected side would happen in post mandibular distraction osteogenesis of the hemifacial microsomia patients, and the condylar resorption rate of the affected side has relationship with the elogation distance and affected preoperative condylar height.

Objective:Analyzing the morphological and functional changes of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) post L-shaped reduction malarplasty. And evaluating the surgical safety.Methods:The female cosmetic patients who underwent L-shaped reduction malarplasty in the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from December 2015 to March 2019 were recruited as the study object. Three-dimension models of pre-operation and post-operation were created by the analysis of computed tomography (CT) data via Materialise ProPlan CMF 3.0. Seventeen groups of data relating to the length and angle of the TMJ were measured in the axial plane, coronal plane and sagittal plane. These measurements included condylar anteroposterior diameter in the axial plane and condylar anterior space, superior space and posterior space in the sagittal plane. Data were analyzed via SPSS 22.0 statistical software.Results:Thirty female cosmetic patients who underwent L-shaped reduction malarplasty were included. Patient age ranged from 21 to 36 years and the mean age was (26.19±4.08) years. Fifteen patients were less than 25 years old, and other fifteen patients were more than or at least 25 years old. The condylar anteroposterior diameter post-operation was significantly longer than pre-operation in the axial plane [(9.406±1.241) mm vs.(9.259±1.276) mm], and the difference was (0.146±0.388) mm. The condylar anterior space, superior space and posterior space post-operation were all significantly smaller than pre-operation in the sagittal plane [(1.080±0.537) mm vs.(1.193±0.533) mm/(1.598±0.591) mm vs.(1.907±0.755) mm/(1.239±0.568) mm vs.(1.670±0.926)mm], and the differences were (0.113±0.409) mm, (0.309±0.711) mm, and(0.431±0.786) mm, respectively. Other thirteen measurements showed none significant differences when compared to pre-operation and post-operation ( P>0.05). Conclusions:L-shaped reduction malarplasty could trigger slight morphological changes to the TMJ. However the TMJ could adapt these changes and reach to a new balance due to compensated adaptation. The normal physiological function would not be impacted. Surgery itself could be considered as a safe contour cosmetic surgery.

Objective:To investigate the morphological characteristics of skull base in children with hemifacial microsomia (HFM) by three-dimensional reconstruction and measurement of skull base.Methods:Three-dimensional spiral CT data of HFM children with unilateral involvement who had not received any treatment from the First Center of Maxillofacial Plastic Surgery, Plastic Surgery Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from February 2010 to December 2020 were collected. The patients were divided into four groups according to the Pruzansky-Kaban classification standard: Ⅰ, Ⅱa, Ⅱb and Ⅲ. The three-dimensional reconstruction and measurement of the skull base were performed using Mimics 17.0 software. Linear measurements of the skull base included the distance from tuberculum sellae to optic canal (OT), foramen rotundum (FrT), foramen ovale (FT), internal acoustic meatus (IT), hypoglossal canal (HT), and the distance from anterior clinoid process to the lesser wing of the sphenoid bone (ClS) and the petrous ridge of the temporal bone (ClP). The measurement indexes of skull base angle included anterior cranial angle (ACA), middle cranial angle (MCA), posterior cranial angle (PCA), and petrous ridge angle (PRA). SPSS 26.0 software was used for statistical analysis of the measurement result. Paired t-test was used for comparison within each group, and one-way ANOVA was used for comparison between different types. P<0.05 was statistically significant. Results:A total of 40 children with HFM were collected, with 10 cases in each group. The result of skull base angle measurement showed that the MCA of the healthy side of typeⅠHFM was significantly larger than that of the affected side, and the MCA and PRA of the healthy side of type Ⅲ HFM were larger than those of the affected side ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the angle of skull base between the healthy side and the affected side of typeⅡa andⅡb HFM ( P>0.05). In terms of linear distance measurement of skull base, FrT and HT on the healthy side of typeⅠHFM were longer than those on the affected side; FrT, IT, HT and ClP on the healthy side of typeⅡa HFM were significantly longer than those on the affected side; IT, HT and ClP on the healthy side of typeⅡb HFM were longer than those on the affected side; and HT on the healthy side of type Ⅲ HFM was longer than those on the affected side ( P<0.05). The difference between FrT and ClP (affected / healthy) of four types of HFM was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The morphology of HFM is different between the affected side and the healthy side. As for the angle of skull base, MCA was obvious smaller in the affected side than that in the healthy side in the type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ HFM. As for the linear measurement, the distance from the hypoglossal canal to the tuberculum sellae on the affected side is shorter than that on the healthy side in each type HFM, indicating that the growth and development of the cranial base on the affected side is affected in a certain degree.

5th and 14th day after the first stage operation respectively.Tumor necrosis volume was 635 mL and 500 mL at the 5th and 14th day after the first stage operation respectively.At the 5th and 14th day after the first stage operation,the liver CT examination showed that HARO was successfully underwent and the blood supply of remnant liver was good.Preoperative CT aothgraphy (CTA) examination showed that the right hepatic tumor had rich arterial blood supply.At the 5th day after the first stage operation,the CTA examination confirmed the ringed site of right hepatic artery,and the blood supply of the tumor gradually decreased.At the 14th day after the first stage operation,CTA examination showed significant decrease in the blood supply of liver tumors.Liver CT examination showed rich supply of the remnant liver and the liver volume of 829 mL at the 7th day after the second stage operation.(5) Perioperative hemodynamic changes of the right hepatic artery,proper hepatic artery and left hepatic artery.① Blood flow of right hepatic artery was 224.3,574.7,827.5,222.7,153.0,282.5,279.1,247.9 and 150.2 mL/min before the first stage operation,before right portal vein ligation,after right portal vein ligation and before right hepatic artery ringed and restriction,after right portal vein ligation and right hepatic artery ringed and restriction,at the 1st,3th,5th and 7th day after the first stage operation.Blood flow of right hepatic artery in the second stage operation was 505.0 mL/min.② Blood flow of proper hepatic artery was 399.7,793.5,830.5,1 075.4,784.7.5,821.2,722.8,467.4 and 555.4 mL/min before the first stage operation,before right portal vein ligation,after right portal vein ligation and before right hepatic artery ringed and restriction,after right portal vein ligation and right hepatic artery ringed and restriction,at the 1st,3th,5th and 7th day after the first stage operation.Blood flow of proper hepatic artery was 505.0,473.3,158.5,627.0,103.8 and 139.8 mL/min before right hepatectomy in the second stage operation,after right hepatectomy,at the 1st,3th and 5th day after the second operation,respectively.③ Blood flow of left hepatic artery was 147.5,13.8,19.4,16.2,62.1,93.9,67.1,30.8 and 106.1 mL/min before the first stage operation,before right portal vein ligation,after right portal vein ligation and before right hepatic artery ringed and restriction,after right portal vein ligation and right hepatic artery ringed and restriction,at the 1st,3th,5th,7th and 10th day after the first stage operation.Blood flow ot left hepatic artery was 52.0,43.2,112.4,103.6,80.7 and 56.1 mL/min before right hepatectomy in the second stage operation,after right hepatectomy,at the 1st,3th and 5th day after the second operation,respectively.(6) Perioperative hemodynamic changes of left-portal vein and main portal vein.① Blood flow of left portal vein was 552.6,181.2,412.2,320.0,1 777.7,1 284.7,749.5 and 484.2 mL/min before the first stage operation,before right portal vein ligation,after right portal vein ligation and right hepatic artery ringed and restriction,at the 1st,3th,5th,7th and 10th day after the first stage operation,respectively.Blood flow of left portal vein was 793.3,979.0,485.2,1 042.5,803.5 and 548.3 mL/min before right hepatectomy in the second stage operation,after right hepatectomy,at the 1st,3th,5th and 7th day after the second operation respectively.② Blood flow of main portal vein was 1 186.0,696.7,833.7,431.7,1 319.1,668.4,890.7,550.8 mL/min before the first stage operation,before right portal vein ligation,after right portal vein ligation and right hepatic artery ringed and restriction,at the 1st,3th,5th,7th and 10th day after the first stage operation,respectively.Blood flow of main portal vein was 846.4,937.4,891.2,1 671.0,2 697.8,and 1 230.0 mL/min before right hepatotectomy in the second stage operation,after right hepatectomy,at the 1st,3th,5th and 7th day after the second stage operation,respectively.(7) Follow up:the patient was followed up for 6 months and survived well,with Child A of liver function and normal alpha fetoprotein level.Liver contrast CT examination showed increase in the remnant liver,good blood supply,and no tumor recurrence.The FLR was 727 mL at the 2 months after operation.Conclusion For patients with giant hepatocellular carcinoma,HARO-ALPPS can be performed to decrease blood supply of tumor,increase tumor necrosis area,and reduce the incidence of intrahepatic arteriovenous fistula,which ensure blood supply of remnant liver hyperplasia.
