Objective:To explore whether multi-parametric MRI (mpMRI) combined with 68Ga-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT can improve the detection efficiency of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). Methods:Clinical and imaging data of 152 patients (age (68.5±8.5) years) who underwent mpMRI and 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT examination for suspected prostate cancer in the First Affiliated Hospital of the Air Force Medical University from January 2021 to November 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, with the histopathological results from transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy as reference. Lesions with Gleason scores (GS) ≥3+ 4 from the biopsy were diagnosed with csPCa, and lesions with negative biopsy or GS 6 were diagnosed with non-csPCa. MpMRI was evaluated independently by two radiologists according to the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) version 2.1. The radioactive uptake of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT in prostate lesions was evaluated by SUV max. The independent-sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test and χ2 test were used to compare differences between the two groups, and then multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed. ROC curves analysis was used to analyze the diagnostic efficacies of individual and combined factors and Delong test was used. Results:There were 85 csPCa and 67 non-csPCa confirmed. Prostate specific antigen (PSA), PI-RADS score and SUV max were significantly different between the csPCa group and the non-csPCa group ( χ2=68.06, U values: -7.66, -8.98, all P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that PI-RADS score (odds ratio ( OR)=3.424, 95% CI: 1.651-7.100) and SUV max ( OR=1.931, 95% CI: 1.403-2.658) were independent predictors of csPCa (both P<0.001). ROC curves analysis revealed that the cut-off value for diagnosing csPCa was 4 for PI-RADS score and 5.6 for SUV max. The accuracy of mpMRI and PET/CT alone in csPCa diagnosis was 80%(122/152) (AUC of 0.789(95% CI: 0.711-0.866) with the sensitivity and specificity of 91%(77/85) and 67%(45/67)), and 87%(132/152) (AUC of 0.876(95% CI: 0.817-0.936) with the sensitivity and specificity of 81%(69/85) and 94%(63/67)), respectively. Several joint models incorporating 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT with mpMRI data were investigated, the model of PI-RADS 5 or PI-RADS 3-4 and SUV max>5.6 showed better performance than mpMRI and PET/CT alone and other joint models ( z values: 2.01-3.64, all P<0.05), with the accuracy of 91%(138/152) (AUC of 0.910(95% CI: 0.857-0.962) with the sensitivity and specificity of 89%(76/85) and 93%(62/67)). Conclusion:MpMRI combined with 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT can significantly improve the detection efficiency of csPCa, with the principal effect being improved in risk stratification of PI-RADS 3-4 lesions in mpMRI.

Infectious bone defect is bone defect with infection or as a result of treatment of bone infection. It requires surgical intervention, and the treatment processes are complex and long, which include bone infection control,bone defect repair and even complex soft tissue reconstructions in some cases. Failure to achieve the goals in any step may lead to the failure of the overall treatment. Therefore, infectious bone defect has been a worldwide challenge in the field of orthopedics. Conventionally, sequestrectomy, bone grafting, bone transport, and systemic/local antibiotic treatment are standard therapies. Radical debridement remains one of the cornerstones for the management of bone infection. However, the scale of debridement and the timing and method of bone defect reconstruction remain controversial. With the clinical application of induced membrane technique, effective infection control and rapid bone reconstruction have been achieved in the management of infectious bone defect. The induced membrane technique has attracted more interests and attention, but the lack of understanding the basic principles of infection control and technical details may hamper the clinical outcomes of induced membrane technique and complications can possibly occur. Therefore, the Chinese Orthopedic Association organized domestic orthopedic experts to formulate An evidence-based clinical guideline for the treatment of infectious bone defect with induced membrane technique ( version 2023) according to the evidence-based method and put forward recommendations on infectious bone defect from the aspects of precise diagnosis, preoperative evaluation, operation procedure, postoperative management and rehabilitation, so as to provide useful references for the treatment of infectious bone defect with induced membrane technique.

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.
