Objective To investigate the classification,clinical manifestations,diagnosis,differential diagnosis and treatment of oral lichenoid lesions and provide a reference for clinical practice.Methods Hospital ethical approval and patient informed consent were obtained.We report a case of oral lichenoid lesion in children and review the diagno-sis and treatment of oral lichenoid damage in the literature.Results The patient experienced repeated rupture of the dorsal surface of the tongue with pain for more than 3 years.There was a large area of tongue back surface erosion with an irregular shape,surrounded by pearly-white lines.The left erosive area was accompanied by tissue hyperplasia,which was approximately 1.5 cm × 2.0 cm,with tough texture and broad masses.The pathological diagnosis of the pa-tient was oral lichenoid lesion.After biopsy of the dorsal surface of the tongue,the pathological diagnosis of the patient was granulomatous inflammation.The final diagnosis of lichenoid granulomatous stomatitis was made on the basis of the patient's intraoral damage features,systemic history,medication history and histopathological findings.A review of the literature suggests that oral lichenoid lesions have an unknown etiology and need to be clinically differentiated from oral lichen planus,oral lichenoid drug reactions,oral lichenoid contact damage and chronic ulcerative stomatitis.The clini-cal treatment of oral lichen planus is based on the topical and/or systemic use of glucocorticoids.Conclusion There are still no uniform criteria for the classification and diagnosis of oral lichenoid lesions.They rely mainly on history tak-ing,clinical manifestations and histopathological findings,and the treatment is mainly based on the topical and/or sys-temic use of glucocorticoids.

BACKGROUND:
Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) is still a refractory disease in children’s orthopedics. With the introduction of the concept of ‘‘osteoimmunology’’, the immune-inflammatory mechanisms between bone and immune system have become a research focus of LCPD. However, few studies have reported on the pathological role of inflammation-related receptors such as toll-like receptors (TLRs) as well as immune cells such as macrophages in LCPD. This study was for investigating the mechanism of TLR4 signaling pathway on the direction of macrophage polarization and the repair of avascular necrosis of femoral epiphysis in LCPD.
METHODS:
With GSE57614 and GSE74089, differentially expressed genes were screened. Through enrichment analysis and protein–protein interaction network, the functions of TLR4 were explored. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) staining, micro-CT, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) dyeing and western blotting were performed for determining the influences of TAK-242 (a TLR4 inhibitor) on the repair of avascular necrosis of femoral epiphysis in rat models.
RESULTS:
Totally 40 co-expression genes were screened as well as enriched in TLR4 signaling pathway. Immunohistochemistry and ELISA analyses certified that TLR4 facilitated macrophage polarization toward the M1 phenotype and prevented macrophage polarization toward the M2 phenotype. Besides, the results of H&E and TRAP staining, micro-CT, and western blotting showed that TAK-242 can inhibit osteoclastogenesis and promote osteogenesis.
CONCLUSION
Inhibition of TLR4 signaling pathway accelerated the repair of avascular necrosis of femoral epiphysis by regulating macrophage polarization in LCPD.

Obiective:
To explore the method and clinical effect of epicanthal plasty.
Methods:
Transverse incision of epicanthus was applied on the horizontal line of the epicanthus to separate and release the orbicularis oculi muscle and the fibrous tissue and moderately remove the abnormal orbicularis oculi muscle. The redundant triangular flap under the incision was removed, and the superficial ligament of epicanthus was sutured and fixed to the dorsal nasal fascia with 1 stitch, so as to achieve correcting the epicanthus.
Results:
The epicanthus of the 121 patients was corrected after the surgery with their lacrimal caruncle exposed. The appearance of the endocanthion is pleasing, the skin of the endocanthion is smooth, the scar is invisible, and the oculi rimae is lengthened 1 to 3 mm.
Conclusions
The operation has achieved a satisfactory effect. Therefore, the horizontal transection to remove the triangular flap is applicable for most epicanthus due to its simplicity and practicality, as well as the invisible scar and simultaneous manipulation with other operations. These features might be significant for a wider clinical application.

Objective To investigate the regularity and predictors of weight loss during concurrent chemo-radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients. Methods A retrospective study was carried out on 82 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma ,with average age of 45 years ,who received concurrent chemoradiotherapy at the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University. Paired t-test was used to analyze the weight loss pattern during chemoradiotherapy. The Spearman′s rank correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation between high weight loss(HWL)and the clinical factors. Results The paired t-test showed that the weight of the patients decreased continuously every week during chemoradiotherapy(P < 0.05),and the value dropped most significantly during the 4th week. Among these 82 patients,32 were determined as HWL(weight loss > 10%). Spearman′s rank correlation analysis showed that HWL was associated with older age,female,higher T and TNM stage,3D-CRT technology,the higher dose of radiotherapy in nasopharynx and in neck lymph node,and decreases of leukopenia and hemoglobin over degree Ⅱ(P<0.05). Conlousions Weight may decrease continuously every week during chemoradiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients. Age,gender,T stage,TNM stage,radio-therapy dose,and leukopenia and hemoglobin decreases may be predictors for weight loss degree during concurrent chemoradiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients.
