RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the effect of ship-shaped expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE) nasal prosthesis in rhinoplasty.Methods:From February 2016 to June 2021, 86 patients, including 9 males and 77 females, aged 18-47 (24±5) years old, were admitted to Chengdu High-tech Zone Xinyuerong Medical Aesthetic Clinic for cosmetic treatment of rhinoplasty. All patients underwent rhinoplasty with the application of ship-shaped e-PTFE and autologous cartilage. The postoperative complications, glabellar fullness, inverted brow triangle, nasal polygon aesthetic shape and patient satisfaction were evaluated. These data were measured and analyzed, including the nasal length, nasal tip height, nasal frontal angle and nasal facial angle before and after the operation.Results:In 86 patients, the incision healed in one stage after surgery, and 8 cases had nasal vestibular scar hyperplasia. All patients were followed up for 1-5 years: 84 cases obtained satisfactory nasal morphology, and 2 cases recovered naturally after adjusting and lowering the prosthesis height half a year after surgery because the interbrow area was too full. 74 patients (86%) were very satisfied, 10 cases (11.6%) were satisfied. The nasal length was (4.07±0.20) cm, the nasal tip height was (2.66±0.36) cm, the nasal frontal angle was (106.42±8.04)°, and the nasal face angle was (15.90±0.85)°before operation. The nasal length was (4.23±0.20) cm, the nasal tip height was (2.59±0.26) cm, the naso-frontal angle was (113.69±6.34)°, and the naso-facial angle was (21.57±0.78)° at eighteen months after operation. There were statistically significant differences in nasal length, naso-frontal angle and naso-facial angle ( t=-5.51, -5.96, -52.31, P<0.01), but no statistically significant differences in nasal tip height ( t=1.47, P=0.146). Conclusions:The ship-shaped e-PTFE can be shaped to reflect the aesthetic of the nose dorsum, which is similar to the anatomical structure of the nose dorsum, increase the stability and authenticity of the prosthesis, and is worthy of clinical application.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the efficacy of floating acupuncture therapy in the treatment of chronic refractory pressure ulcers and its effects on serum levels of superoxide dismutase, malondialdehyde and insulin-like growth factor-1.Methods:A total of 60 patients with chronic refractory pressure ulcers who received treatment in The Second Hospital of Jiaxing from October 2019 to October 2021 were included in this study. They were randomly divided into observation and control groups, with 30 patients in each group. The patients in the control group were given routine treatment, while the patients in the observation group were given floating acupuncture therapy based on routine treatment. Clinical efficacy, wound healing rate after 7, 14 and 21 days of treatment, the time of emerging granulation tissue, the time of shedding rotten meat, and the time of wound healing, changes in serum levels of superoxide dismutase, malondialdehyde and insulin-like growth factor-1 after 21 days of treatment relative to those before treatment were compared between the two groups.Results:Total response rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [90.0% (27/30) vs. 66.7% (20/30), χ2 = 4.81, P < 0.05]. Wound healing rate after 7, 14 and 21 days of treatment in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( t = -5.45, -7.77, -7.51, all P < 0.001). The time of emerging granulation tissue, the time of shedding rotten meat, and the time of wound healing in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group ( t = 5.69, 9.26, 8.91, all P < 0.001). After 21 days of treatment, serum levels of superoxide dismutase, malondialdehyde and insulin-like growth factor-1 in the observation group were (96.52 ± 10.43) U/mL, (4.32 ± 0.78) μmol/L, (43.52 ± 8.29) μg/L, respectively, which were significantly different from (83.76 ± 6.81) U/mL, (5.48 ± 0.92) μmol/L, (36.78 ± 9.18) ng/mL, in the control group ( t = 5.61, 5.27, 2.98, all P < 0.05). Conclusion:Floating acupuncture therapy is effective in the treatment of refractory pressure ulcer. It can accelerate wound healing, increase serum superoxide dismutase and insulin-like growth factor-1 levels, and decrease serum malondialdehyde level.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the application of auricular cartilage in nasal plastic surgery and its clinical effects of the different tip graft and reconstructed domal graft (RDG).Methods From October 2009 to May 2015,the surgical procedure was performed on 286 patients,through the application of cymba and conchae cartilages into various tip graft and RDG in nasal tip plasty.Results A total of 286 patients were followed up post-operatively for 3 months to 5 years,245 patients (85.7％ achieved expected stability tip,the tip down to 1-2 mm after one year.Tip skin thinning was observed in 10 patients after one year,nasal tip down occurred in 89 patients;the columella skew and asymmetric nostrils occurred in 31 patients.Conclusions The ear cartilage can be made into various tip graft for rhinoplasty,with satisfactory clinical outcomes.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the influence of triple anti-tumor therapy which bases on sirolimus combined huaier granule and thymosin α-1 on T lymphocyte of rat model with liver cancer recurrence after transplantation.Methods Seventy-two Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were randomly divided into triple therapy group,sirolimus group,huaier-granule group,thymosin α-1 group,positive-control group and blank group (n=1 2 in each group).Except the blank group,rats in all the other groups were established the simulation animal model of liver cancer recurrence after liver transplantation by chemical-induced method.After the model was established,rats in the positive control group were executed to appraise whether the model was successful.The proportion of regulatory T cells (Treg)of CD4 + T lymphocytes in peripheral blood (Treg%),the percentage of CD4 + T lymphocyte of total lymphocyte(CD4 +T%)and the percentage of CD8 + T lymphocyte of total lymphocyte (CD8 +T%),were detected by the flow cytometry respectively.The relationship between Treg% and CD4 + T %,CD8 + T %,the ratio of CD4 +/CD8 + T lymphocytes(CD4 +/CD8 +)was analyzed by the method of Spearman rank correlation.Results Pathological section of rat liver tissue suggested that the rat model was established successfully.Treg % of positive control group was higher than that of blank group,the difference had statistical significance(P <0.05).Treg% of triple therapy group was significantly lower than that of the positive control group,huaier-granule group,thymosin α-1 group,and significantly higher than the blank group (all in P <0.05 ).Compared with positive-control group,CD4 +T% and CD8 +T% of triple therapy group,sirolimus group and thymosin α-1 group were significantly higher (all in P <0.05).CD4 +T%and CD8 +T% of triple therapy group were significantly higher than those of thymosin α-1 group,sirolimus group and huaier-granule group(all in P <0.05).The relationship between Treg% and CD4 +T%,CD8 +T%, CD4 +/CD8 + in peripheral blood were negatively correlated for rats in each group.In addition,the triple anti-tumor therapy decreased the negative correlation between Treg% and CD4 +/CD8 +.Conclusions Sirolimus based triple anti-tumor therapy can decrease the peripheral blood Treg level of the liver cancer rat,increase the number of T lymphocyte and CD4 +/CD8 +,and play the role of anti tumor cell growth and proliferation.
