Methods： The lateral cephalogram and speech intelligibility were detected in 19 cases with the operations of repairing defects of maxilla and palate by temporalis muscle flap, and their recovery of the speech function were analyzed. Results： Among the 19 patients, there were 15 cases （78.00%） with complete velopharynx, 3 cases （15.80%） with mafiginal velopharynx, and 1 case （5.26%） with insufficient velopharynx. The average speech intelligibility was 94.3%, close to the normal speech intelligibility. Conclusion： The operation of repairing defects of maxilla and palate with temporalis muscle flap can reconstruct the phonatory structure, preserve the palate function and restore the speech function after operation.展开更多

Methods： MIR was studied in 21 sex matched to the study cohort. Median age of patients was reflex （MIR） and its eventual changes in patients with episodic patients with episodic TTH and 30 healthy subjects, with age and 17.0 years （ranged 16-49 years）, median duration of disease 12 months （1-5 years）, and median frequency of headache 7.5 d per month. Results： The second period of suppression （$2） of MIR was reduced in intensity and duration in 10% of controls and 66.7% （confidence interval （CI） 45.3%-85%; P〈0.05） of patients with episodic TTH （X2=74.9; P〈0.001）. In 3 （14.3%） of patients with episodic TTH, S2 was completely absent. No significant correlation between the duration of disease and headache frequency was found. Conclusion： Our results confirm the link between episodic TTH and reduction or absence of S2. Teenage patients with episodic TTH may exhibit marked pathological changes in S2 in contrast to older individuals.展开更多
