Skeletal C...Class III malocclusion associated with posterior crossbite, anterior open bite pattern with asymmetric occlusion in adults can be a challenging orthodontic problem, especially for the nonsurgical treatment. Skeletal Class III anteroposterior discrepancies in adult patients are generally managed either by surgical-orthodontic treatment or by orthodontic camouflage through dentoalveolar compensation. Although correction with surgery may be the most effective and stable way, many patients refuse surgical treatment plan because of the costs and traumas it may bring. This case report describes the successful use of TADs with expansion auxiliary wire to treat a 24-year-old man with skeletal class III malocclusion, posterior crossbite, anterior open-bite and asymmetric occlusion, mild upper and lower dental spacing and a chief manifestation of anterior crossbite. The patient refused surgery. A treatment plan was formulated consisting of using auxiliary expansion wire to expand the maxillary arch, 8 mm mini-screws between the roots of the mandibular canines and first premolars, preadjusted edgewise brackets to align the teeth, Class III and asymmetric elastics to correct the canines, premolars, and molars relationship and midline deviation, reverse curve of the nickel-titanium wire combined with anterior vertical elastics to intrude molars and correct the anterior open-bite. In this case, without going through surgery, the posterior cross-bite was corrected, and ideal overjet and overbite relationships, midline coincidence and functional occlusion were all achieved. Satisfactory occlusal, functional, esthetic and stable results were obtained.展开更多

This form of ROP typically presents in very low birth weight babies of early gestational age. Historically, anatomical and functional outcomes have been poor with standard treatment. This review is designed to discuss current knowledge and treatment regarding this aggressive form of ROP. Recommendations regarding management of these difficult cases are detailed.展开更多

文摘目的探讨影响急性后循环缺血性卒中(PCIS)患者血管内治疗(EVT)的预后因素。方法回顾性收集2020年1月至2023年8月在中国人民解放军联勤保障部队第九六〇医院行EVT的71例急性PCIS患者的病例资料。术后90 d根据改良Rankin量表(mRS)评分分为预后良好组43例(mRS评分≤2分)和预后不良组28例(mRS评分>2分),比较两组患者的年龄、性别、高血压及糖尿病等一般情况,以及血尿酸(BUA)、血肌酐(Scr)及血尿素氮(BUN)等临床资料。结果共纳入71例发病24 h内入院接受EVT的急性PCIS患者,其中预后良好组43例,预后不良组28例。两组患者在性别、年龄、BUA、总胆固醇(TC)、甘油三酯(TG)、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)、是否有高血压、糖尿病、冠心病、是否吸烟及饮酒等方面比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);单因素分析提示,预后不良组患者的Scr、BUN、术前美国国立卫生研究院卒中量表(NIHSS)评分及14 d NIHSS评分均高于预后良好组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。经多元logistic回归显示,Scr(OR=3.414,P=0.041)、BUN(OR=4.265,P=0.035)是影响急性PCIS患者EVT治疗效果的独立危险因素。所有患者均未发生颅内出血及死亡。结论急性PCIS患者EVT后能部分获益,Scr及BUN升高是影响急性PCIS患者EVT后预后不良的独立危险因素。
