To revise GBZ 188 Technical Specification for Occupational Health Surveillance based on national laws, regulations, standards, specifications and legal documents of occupational disease, and combination with the actual situation in China. The main modifications are as follows: the occupational health surveillance for workers exposed to toluene (xylene may implement by reference), bromopropane, methyl iodide, ethylene oxide, chloroacetic acid, indium and its compounds, coal tar, coal tarasphalt, asphalt, β-naphthylamine, dust of metal and its compounds(tin, iron, antimony, barium and its compounds), hard metal dust, erionite dust, low temperature, laser, tick-borne encephalitis virus, Borrelia burgdorferi, and human immunodeficiency virus, for scraper or grind operators, and underground workers using squatting or kneeling position, crawling position, side-lying position, or shoulder position for a long period of time are included. The emergency health screening for workers exposed to arsenic, fluorine and its inorganic compounds, and acrylamide are included. The occupational medical examination (OME) for workers exposed to amino and nitro compounds of benzene, phosgene, monomethylamine, organic fluorine and dimethyl sulfate has been adjusted and made mandatory, with corresponding assessments required upon leaving the job. The special occupational health surveillance for workers exposed to mycobacterium tuberculosis and hepatitis virus is removed. The OME conclusion of reexamination is removed, and standardize recheck/additional inspection requirements. The optional items in OME performed before, during and after leaving post are removed, but the optional items in emergency medical examination are retained. Additional OME items are added. The Guideline for OME Summary Reports is added as informative appendix, and so on. The revised GBZ 188 Technical Specification for Occupational Health Surveillance is more scientific and practical.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of digital orthognathic surgery in the surgical treatment of patients with hemifacial microsomia (HFM) and patients’ satisfaction.Methods:The clinical data of HFM patients admitted to the Department of Orthognathic & Cleft Lip and Palate Plastic Surgery, Hospital of Stomatology, Wuhan University, from January 2017 to May 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The digital orthognathic surgery was used to design surgical protocols before surgery. The intermediate wafer and terminal wafer by three-dimensional printing were applied to determine the position of maxillary and mandible bone blocks. The distance change between landmarks in maxillary and chin and the reference planes was measured. The skull CT and face photographs were taken 5 days after surgery to compare the distance between the actual position and the designed position. Data were expressed as the Mean±SD and analyzed by the pairing t-test with P<0.05 considered statistically. The patients’ satisfaction was investigated by interval scale method on day 7 and 6 months after operation. Results:There were 9 HFM patients in this study, included 5 men and 4 women, and the average age was 25.8±3.8 years old. 6 patients were affected on the left side and 3 patients was affected on the right side. All the operations were processed successfully. The wafers were in good position that the maxillary and mandible blocks were moved precisely according to the digital design. There were no accidental fractures of the jaw during the operation. The post-operative photographs and CT showed the stomatognathic system recovered well without serious postoperative complications. The errors between postoperative situation and preoperative designed situation in maxillary and chin were no statistically difference ( P>0.05). The maximum movement error of the maxillary bone block was the mark point of the first molar on the left, with an average error of (0.92 ± 0.34) mm. The patients’ satisfaction scores were averaged 83.2±2.7 points on day 7 after surgery, while the score dropped to 73.8±2.5 points after 6 months. Conclusions:The digital orthognathic surgery technology can satisfy the accuracy requirement of the surgical plan design for HFM patients in correcting the deflect of dental middle line, occlusal plane and chin point. High postoperative satisfaction can be achieved, which may decrease slightly 6 months after operation.

BACKGROUND: The goal of this study was to create a biomaterial which combines concentrated growth factor (CGF) with an adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC) sheet to promote the repair of skull defects in rats. METHODS: We determined the optimal concentration of CGF extract by investigating the effects of different concentrations (0, 5%, 10%, and 20%) on the proliferation and differentiation of ADSCs. Then we created a complex combining CGF with an ADSC sheet, and tested the effects on bone repair in four experimental rat groups: (A) control; (B) ADSC sheet; (C) CGF particles; (D) combination of CGF ? ADSCs. Eight weeks after the procedure, osteogenesis was assessed by micro-CT and hematoxylin and eosin staining. RESULTS: We found that the concentration of CGF extract that promoted optimal ADSC proliferation and differentiation in vitro was 20%. In turn, bone regeneration was promoted the most by the combination of CGF and ADSCs. CONCLUSION In this study, we determined the optimal ratio of CGF and ADSCs to be used in a biomaterial for bone regeneration. The resulting CGF/ADSCs complex promotes maxillofacial bone defect repair in rats.

Oral and maxillofacial space infections (OMSI) are common diseases of the facial region involving fascial spaces. Recently, OMSI shows trends of multi drug-resistance, severe symptoms, and increased mortality. OMSI treatment principles need to be updated to improve the cure rate. Based on the clinical experiences of Chinese experts and with the incorporation of international counterparts′ expertise, the principles of preoperative checklist, interpretation of examination results, empirical medication principles, surgical treatment principles, postoperative drainage principles, prevention strategies of wisdom teeth pericoronitis-related OMSI, blood glucose management, physiotherapy principles, Ludwig′s angina treatment and perioperative care were systematically summarized and an expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of OMSI was reached. The consensus aims to provide criteria for the diagnosis and treatment of OMSI in China so as to improve the level of OMSI treatment.

Objective:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of computer-assisted navigation in the removal of foreign bodies in the oral and maxillofacial regions.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the patients who suffered from oral and maxillofacial foreign bodies and were treated with computer-aided navigation technology in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Hospital of Stomatology, Wuhan University from January 2014 to December 2018. All patients received the examination of spiral CT, and the CT data were imported into the computer navigation workstation to complete the presurgical planning. The surgical approach was through the original wound or local small incision, and the computer navigation system was used to accurately locate the foreign body and perform the foreign body removal. All patients underwent postoperative follow-up, and the oral and maxillofacial appearance and functional recovery were evaluated.Results:A total of 35 patients were involved in this study, including 29 males and 6 females, aged 2 to 77 years old(average age: 38.3±20.2 years). Foreign bodies included metals, fish bones, and broken glass. The operation time was 30-90 min [average time: (50.6±16.5) min]. The operation proceeded well in these patients. The foreign bodies were removed successfully. There was no infection in the wound or surgical incision, and the healing was normal. All patients recovered well in the oral and maxillofacial appearance and function during the one-to-twelve-month follow-ups after operation.Conclusions:Computer-assisted navigation is an effective technique that can be applied in the removal of oral and maxillofacial foreign bodies. It can accurately locate the foreign bodies and perform minimally invasive surgery, thereby reducing the impact on facial appearance.

Objective:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of computer-assisted surgical navigation in the reduction and fixation of unilateral zygomatic complex fractures.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the patients suffering from unilateral zygomatic complex fractures treated by computer-aided surgical navigation technology in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Hospital of Stomatology, Wuhan University from January 2013 to December 2017. Spiral CT was used before surgery, the data was imported into BrainLAB navigation workstation or AccuNavi—a navigation workstation to design the surgery plan, and then the surgery plan was imported into the surgical navigation workstation to assist the reduction and fixation of the zygomatic complex fracture. Three-dimensional CT was used within 1 week after surgery to measure the reference values of the postoperative healthy and affected zygomatic prominence, which were analyzed by the paired t-test. At the same time, the reduction of the fracture was evaluated by the difference of the bilateral reference values of the zygomatic prominence, and the absolute value of the difference less than 2 mm was judged as exact reduction. All patients underwent postoperative follow-up, and wound healing and facial appearance and functional recovery were evaluated. Results:A total of 45 patients were involved in this study, including 39 males and 6 females, aged 21-68 years old. The postoperative zygomatic prominence values of the healthy side and affected side were (80.78±6.14) mm and (80.85±6.10) mm, respectively. There was no statistical significance ( t=0.362, P=0.719) between the reference values of the bilateral zygomatic prominence after operation. The absolute value of the difference between the zygomatic prominence of the healthy and the affected sides after operation was (0.92±0.68) mm. Fourty-three cases achieved exact reduction of the fracture. In the other 2 cases, the absolute value of the zygomatic prominence difference was 2.3 mm and 2.2 mm, respectively. The surgical incisions of all patients healed well without complications such as infection, accompanying with satisfactory facial appearance and function recovery. Conclusions:The application of computer-aided surgical navigation in unilateral zygomatic complex fracture surgery can effectively ensure the accuracy of fracture reduction, and it is a valued application.
