Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of mixed reality combined with surgical navigation (MRSN) in the resection of parotid micro- and mini-tumors. METHODS Eighteen patients who underwent parotid tumor resection between December 2020 and November 2022 were included. Six patients were enrolled in MRSN group, and the surgeons performed the surgery with the help of MRSN technology. The surgical procedures include virtual planning, data transfer between mixed reality and surgical navigation, tumor localization and resection assisted by surgical navigation under mixed reality environment. Twelve patients were enrolled in control group, and intraoperative tumor localization and resection were performed according to the experience of the surgeon. Total surgery time and intraoperative bleeding were recorded. Perioperative complications were recorded during follow-up. RESULTS The mean surgery time of MRSN group (76.7 ± 14.0 min) and control group (65.4 ± 21.3 min) showed no significant difference (p = 0.220), so did the intraoperative bleeding of MRSN group (16.0 ± 8.0 mL) and control group (16.7 ± 6.6 mL) (p = 0.825). None of the patient in MRSN group underwent any complication, although one patient in control group suffered temporary facial paralysis. The mean deviation between the virtually marked and the intraoperative actual outermost point of tumor was 3.03 ± 0.83 mm. CONCLUSION MRSN technology can realize real-time three-dimensional visualization of the tumor, and it has the potential of enhancing the safety and accuracy of resection of micro- and mini-tumors of parotid gland. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4 Laryngoscope, 134:1670-1678, 2024.

Abstract
Precise recognition of the intraparotid facial nerve (IFN) is crucial during parotid tumor resection. We aimed to explore the application effect of direct visualization of the IFN in parotid tumor resection. Fifteen patients with parotid tumors were enrolled in this study and underwent specific radiological scanning in which the IFNs were displayed as high-intensity images. After image segmentation, IFN could be preoperatively directly visualized. Mixed reality combined with surgical navigation were applied to intraoperatively directly visualize the segmentation results as real-time three-dimensional holograms, guiding the surgeons in IFN dissection and tumor resection. Radiological visibility of the IFN, accuracy of image segmentation and postoperative facial nerve function were analyzed. The trunks of IFN were directly visible in radiological images for all patients. Of 37 landmark points on the IFN, 36 were accurately segmented. Four patients were classified as House-Brackmann Grade I postoperatively. Two patients with malignancies had postoperative long-standing facial paralysis. Direct visualization of IFN was a feasible novel method with high accuracy that could assist in recognition of IFN and therefore potentially improve the treatment outcome of parotid tumor resection.

Abstract
As a recently discovered waste removal system in the brain, cerebral lymphatic system is thought to play an important role in regulating the homeostasis of the central nervous system. Currently, more and more attention is being focused on the cerebral lymphatic system. Further understanding of the structural and functional characteristics of cerebral lymphatic system is essential to better understand the pathogenesis of diseases and to explore therapeutic approaches. In this review, we summarize the structural components and functional characteristics of cerebral lymphatic system. More importantly, it is closely associated with peripheral system diseases in the gastrointestinal tract, liver, and kidney. However, there is still a gap in the study of the cerebral lymphatic system. However, we believe that it is a critical mediator of the interactions between the central nervous system and the peripheral system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcomes of mandibular reconstruction with vascularized free fibula flap in pediatric patients. METHODS Consecutive cases of mandibular reconstruction with vascularized free fibula flaps in pediatric patients at Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology between 1999 and 2019 were reviewed. Postoperative computed tomography (CT) data of all patients were collected at each postoperative follow-up point, and after the age of 18 years. The length and height of the grafted fibula and the length of the remaining mandible were evaluated by measuring the three-dimensional CT data using ProPlan CMF 3.0 software. Lower limb function was evaluated using the Enneking evaluation scale. Facial symmetry was self-evaluated and scored. Statistical analysis was performed on the data obtained. RESULTS Fourteen patients were included in this study. All flaps were successful. The CT measurement results showed growth in the length of the grafted fibula that reconstructed the mandibular ramus and the residual mandible ( P < 0.05). The height of the grafted fibula remained stable ( P > 0.05). Eight patients were followed up until they were older than 18 years, and the CT measurement results after 18 years showed an essentially symmetric mandible profile ( P > 0.05). All patients were satisfied with their postoperative facial symmetry. Enneking evaluation scores showed good recovery of lower limb functions. CONCLUSIONS The vascularized free fibula flap for mandibular reconstruction in pediatric patients is safe and reliable. It also provides good cosmetic and functional outcomes, as it demonstrated positive growth. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic, IV.

Abstract
We aimed to explore the effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in tropoelastin gene on tropoelastin mRNA and elastin expressions in human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMCs). Two SNP loci, rs2071307 (G/A) and rs1785598 (G/C), were selected to construct recombinant lentivirus vectors carrying wild-type and mutant tropoelastin gene. Recombinant plasmids including pWSLV-02-ELN, pWSLV-02-ELN-mut1, and pWSLV-02-ELN-mut2 were constructed, before being amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequenced. The prepared plasmids and the packaging plasmids (pVSV-G and psPAX2) were cotransfected into HEK293T cells to obtain recombinant lentiviruses carrying tropoelastin gene. Afterward, HASMCs were infected with recombinant lentiviruses, and the positive cells sorted by flow cytometry were amplified. Four stable HASMCs cell lines including pWSLV-02-ELN, pWSLV-02-ELN-mut1, pWSLV-02-ELN-mut2, and pWSLV-02 vector were constructed. The expressions of tropoelastin mRNA and elastin in HASMCs were detected by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-PCR and western blot, respectively. Recombinant plasmids including pWSLV-02-ELN-mut1, pWSLV-02-ELN-mut2, and pWSLV-02-ELN were successfully constructed. Recombinant lentiviruses carrying tropoelastin gene were obtained via lentivirus packaging. After infection for 24 h, 3 days and 5 days in HASMCs, tropoelastin mRNA expressions in pWSLV-02-ELN-mut1 and pWSLV-02-ELN-mut2 groups were significantly lower than that of pWSLV-02-ELN group. Besides, after infection for 24 h, 3 days, and 5 days, elastin levels in pWSLV-02-ELN-mut1 and pWSLV-02-ELN-mut2 groups were significantly lower than that in pWSLV-02-ELN group. In conclusion, SNPs mutation of tropoelastin gene affected the expression of tropoelastin mRNA and elastin, suggesting that the polymorphisms of rs2071307 and rs17855988 in tropoelastin gene might be important factors for AD development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Free fibula is the workhorse flap for mandibular reconstruction and is increasingly being used in pediatric patients. However, craniomaxillofacial growth and development involve interdependent processes, and it remains unknown whether mandibular reconstruction with free fibula allows symmetric growth of the midface. PURPOSE The study evaluated midfacial symmetry after pediatric mandibular defect reconstruction. STUDY DESIGN, SETTING, SAMPLE This retrospective cohort study included pediatric patients aged ≤14 years who underwent mandibular reconstruction with free fibula flap. Postoperative computed tomography data were obtained at predefined follow-up time points. Midfacial symmetry was evaluated based on 3-dimensional (3D) cephalometry. PREDICTOR VARIABLE The predictor variable was the side of the midface (affected or healthy side relative to the mandibular defect). MAIN OUTCOME VARIABLES The primary outcome variable was postoperative midfacial symmetry (at 1 week, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, and >3 years, or after the age of 18 years), assessed in horizontal, vertical, and anteroposterior dimensions using 3D cephalometry. Another outcome variable was patient satisfaction based on a self-evaluation using visual analog scoring. COVARIATES Sex, age, diagnosis, and type of denture restoration. ANALYSES Paired t tests were performed to assess the relationship between the predictor and outcome variables, with the significance level of P < .05. RESULTS A total of 13 patients were included in this study (9 males and 4 females; mean age: 12.23 ± 2.39 years). The average distance from upper first molar point (U6) to the horizontal plane on the affected side became greater than on the healthy side (difference: 0.7 ± 0.5 mm to 1.6 ± 1.4 mm, P < .05), while the average distance from pterygomaxillary fissure to coronal plane on affected side became shorter than that on the healthy side (difference: 0.6 ± 0.6 mm to 1.2 ± 1.1 mm, P < .05) from 1 year after the surgery. There were no statistically significant differences in the remaining measurements between the 2 sides (P > .05). All the patients were satisfied with their postoperative facial symmetry. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE There were no severe midface deformities after pediatric mandibular reconstruction with free fibula flap. Meanwhile, pediatric mandibular reconstruction and proper occlusion could promote midfacial growth and symmetry.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate the biomechanical behavior of three-dimensionally (3D)-printed surgical plates used for mandibular defect reconstruction, compare them with conventional surgical plates, and provide experimental evidence for their clinical application. Three-dimensional models were created for the normal mandible and for mandibular body defects reconstructed using free fibula and deep circumflex iliac artery flaps. Three-dimensional finite element models of reconstructed mandibles fixed using 3D-printed and conventional surgical plates were established. Vertical occlusal forces were applied to the remaining teeth and the displacement and Von Mises stress distributions were studied using finite element analysis. The normal and reconstructed mandibles had similar biomechanical behaviors. The displacement distributions for the surgical plates were similar, and the maximum total deformation occurred at the screw hole of the anterior segment of the surgical plates. However, there were differences in the Von Mises stress distributions for the surgical plates. In reconstructed mandibles fixed using 3D-printed surgical plates, the maximum equivalent Von Mises stress occurred at the screw hole of the posterior segment, while in those fixed using conventional surgical plates, the maximum equivalent Von Mises stress was at the screw hole of the anterior segment. In the mandible models reconstructed with the same free flap but fixed with different surgical plates, the plates had similar biomechanical behaviors. The biomechanical behavior of 3D-printed surgical plates was similar to conventional surgical plates, suggesting that 3D-printed surgical plates used to reconstruct mandibular body defects with vascularized autogenous bone grafts could lead to secure and stable fixation.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effectiveness and safety of endovascular treatment (EVT) for patients with acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke with symptom onset exceeding 24 h. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, data were extracted from patients who underwent endovascular treatment for acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke at the First Hospital of Jilin University from February 2019 to April 2022. A total of 569 patients were included, with a mean age of 63 (54-70) years. Among them, 398 (69.9%) were male. The patients were divided into two groups based on symptom onset time:>24 h group and≤24 h group. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to match the patients in a 1︰1 ratio between the>24 h group and the≤24 h group. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the impact of symptom onset time on outcome events. Results: Before PSM, compared with≤24 h group, the>24 h group had a younger age [56 (48, 64) vs. 64 (55, 70), Z=-3. 60, P<0.001]; lower proportion of prior atrial fibrillation [1.8% (1/57) vs. 21.1% (108/512), χ2=12.39, P<0.001]; lower proportion of wake-up stroke [7.0% (4/57) vs. 27.7% (142/512), χ2=11.54, P<0.001]; lower baseline NIHSS score [11.0 (7.5, 14.0) vs. 13.0 (10.0, 16.0), Z=-3.22, P<0.001]; and a higher American Society of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology/Society of Interventional Radiology(ASITN/SIR) grading (P<0.001). After PSM, there were no significant differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups. There was no significant difference in the proportion of patients with a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score≤2 at 90 days after surgery between the two groups (before matching: 42.0% vs. 40.4%, OR=0.745, 95%CI 0.407-1.362, P=0.339; after matching: 51.8% vs. 39.3%, OR=0.511, 95%CI 0.212-1.236, P=0.136). No significant differences were observed in the incidence of any safety outcomes between the>24 h group and the≤24 h group. Conclusion: For patients with acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke with symptom onset exceeding 24 h, EVT is feasible after strict radiological screening and has similar safety and effectiveness as for patients with symptom onset under 24 h.

Abstract
This research delineates the energy dissipation characteristics in coal crushing under impact loads, leveraging the capabilities of Separated Hopkinson Pressure Bar experimental system. A meticulous examination of both burst-prone and non-burst-prone coal samples during destruction processes was undertaken to decipher the dynamic compression mechanical attributes from perspectives of energy and fragmentatio's fractal dimensions. Burst-prone coal showcases a more pronounced escalation in fragmentation work in comparison to non-burst-prone samples, thereby illustrating a perceptible strain-rate dependent effect correlating with enhanced strain rates. Additionally, it was observed that incident, reflected, and transmitted energy trajectories for both sample categories follow an approximately linear ascendancy, albeit exhibiting diverse magnitudes. Burst-prone coal manifests a more rapid and focused energy growth compared to its non-burst-prone counterpart. When subjected to impact loads, a notable trend was discerned where the fragmentation's fractional dimension escalated persistently with both the incident energy and the crushing work, portraying a prominent growth effect. The insights garnered from this study pave the way for distinguishing between impacted and unimpacted coal samples using energy perspectives and fragmentation's fractal dimensions.

Abstract
Echocardiography is an essential examination for cardiac disease diagnosis, from which anatomical structures segmentation is the key to assessing various cardiac functions. However, the obscure boundaries and large shape deformations due to cardiac motion make it challenging to accurately identify the anatomical structures in echocardiography, especially for automatic segmentation. In this study, we propose a dual-branch shape-aware network (DSANet) to segment the left ventricle, left atrium, and myocardium from the echocardiography. Specifically, the elaborate dual-branch architecture integrating shape-aware modules boosts the corresponding feature representation and segmentation performance, which guides the model to explore shape priors and anatomical dependence using an anisotropic strip attention mechanism and cross-branch skip connections. Moreover, we develop a boundary-aware rectification module together with a boundary loss to regulate boundary consistency, adaptively rectifying the estimation errors nearby the ambiguous pixels. We evaluate our proposed method on the publicly available and in-house echocardiography dataset. Comparative experiments with other state-of-the-art methods demonstrate the superiority of DSANet, which suggests its potential in advancing echocardiography segmentation.

Abstract
Voltage-gated sodium channel 1.7 (Nav1.7) remains one of the most promising drug targets for pain relief. In the current study, we conducted a high-throughput screening of natural products in our in-house compound library to discover novel Nav1.7 inhibitors, then characterized their pharmacological properties. We identified 25 naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids (NIQs) from Ancistrocladus tectorius to be a novel type of Nav1.7 channel inhibitors. Their stereostructures including the linkage modes of the naphthalene group at the isoquinoline core were revealed by a comprehensive analysis of HRESIMS, 1D, and 2D NMR spectra as well as ECD spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis with Cu Kα radiation. All the NIQs showed inhibitory activities against the Nav1.7 channel stably expressed in HEK293 cells, and the naphthalene ring in the C-7 position displayed a more important role in the inhibitory activity than that in the C-5 site. Among the NIQs tested, compound 2 was the most potent with an IC50 of 0.73 ± 0.03 µM. We demonstrated that compound 2 (3 µM) caused dramatical shift of steady-state slow inactivation toward the hyperpolarizing direction (V1/2 values were changed from -39.54 ± 2.77 mV to -65.53 ± 4.39 mV, which might contribute to the inhibition of compound 2 against the Nav1.7 channel. In acutely isolated dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, compound 2 (10 μM) dramatically suppressed native sodium currents and action potential firing. In the formalin-induced mouse inflammatory pain model, local intraplantar administration of compound 2 (2, 20, 200 nmol) dose-dependently attenuated the nociceptive behaviors. In summary, NIQs represent a new type of Nav1.7 channel inhibitors and may act as structural templates for the following analgesic drug development.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the features of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEHE) in order to improve the preoperative diagnosis rate. Methods: CEUS images of 32 pathologically-proven cases of hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma from January 2004 to August 2021 were collected. Lesions were analyzed to observe the features of enhancement mode, enhancement intensity, and distinct enhancement phases. Results: Among the 32 cases, one had a solitary lesion, 29 had multiple lesions, and two had diffuse-type lesions. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound revealed a total of 42 lesions in 32 cases. In terms of arterial phase enhancement, 18 lesions had overall enhancement, six lesions had uneven dendritic enhancement, 16 lesions had rim-like enhancement, and two lesions had just slight peripheral spot enhancement around the lesions. Among the three cases, there were multiple lesions that had overall enhancement and ring enhancement. In terms of the enhancement phase, 20 lesions showed "fast progression", 20 lesions showed "same progression", and two lesions showed "slow progression". During the late arterial or early portal venous phases with rapid washout, all lesions manifested as hypoechoic. With peaked enhanced intensity, 11 lesions had a lower enhancement intensity than the surrounding normal liver parenchyma; 11 lesions had the same enhancement degree as the surrounding normal liver parenchyma; and 20 lesions had a higher enhancement degree than the surrounding normal liver parenchyma. All 16 ring-enhancing lesions had marked hyperenhancement. In the typical enhancing lesions, four showed hyperenhancement, five showed low enhancement, and nine showed isoenhancement. In the dendrite-enhancing lesions, there were two isoenhancing and four hypoenhancing. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound delineated the boundaries of all lesions more clearly than two-dimensional ultrasound. Conclusion: Contrast-enhanced ultrasound has certain value in the diagnosis of hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sclerosing odontogenic carcinoma is a rare primary intraosseous neoplasm that was featured recently as a single entity in the World Health Organization classification of Head and Neck Tumors 2017, with only 14 cases published to date. The biological characteristics of sclerosing odontogenic carcinoma remain indistinct because of its rarity; however, it appears to be locally aggressive, with no regional or distant metastasis reported to date.
CASE SUMMARY We reported a case of sclerosing odontogenic carcinoma of the maxilla in a 62-year-old woman, who presented with an indolent right palatal swelling, which progressively increased in size over 7 years. Right subtotal maxillectomy with surgical margins of approximately 1.5 cm was performed. The patient remained disease free for 4 years following the ablation surgery. Diagnostic workups, treatment, and therapeutic outcomes were discussed.
CONCLUSION More cases are needed to further characterize this entity, understand its biological behavior, and justify the treatment protocols. Resection with wide margins of approximately 1.0 to 1.5 cm is proposed, while neck dissection, post-operative radiotherapy, or chemotherapy are deemed unnecessary.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) has been found as a common complication in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. Large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) infarct is a major subtype of AIS. This study aimed to build a clinical prediction model for SAP of LAA type AIS patients. METHODS This study included 295 patients with LAA type AIS. Univariate analyses and logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine the independent predictors for the modeling purpose. Nomogram used receiver operating characteristics to assess the accuracy of the model, and the calibration plots were employed to assess the fitting degree between the model and the practical scenario. One hundred and five patients were employed for the external validation to test the stability of the model. RESULTS From the univariate analysis, patients' ages, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratios, National Institute of Health Stroke scale (NIHSS) scores, red blood cell, sex, history of coronary artery disease, stroke location and volume-viscosity swallow test showed statistical difference in the development group for the occurrence of SAP. By incorporating the factors above into a multivariate logistic regression analysis, patients' ages, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratios, NIHSS, and volume-viscosity swallow test emerged as the independent risk factors of the development of SAP. The nomogram based on the mentioned 4 variables above achieved a receiver operating characteristic of 0.951 and a validation group of 0.946. CONCLUSIONS The proposed nomogram is capable of predicting predict the occurrence of SAP in LAA type AIS patients, and it may identify high-risk patients in time and present information for in-depth treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ensuring high accuracy in multimodal image fusion for oral and maxillofacial tumors is crucial before further application. The aim of this study was to explore the factors influencing the accuracy of multimodal image fusion for oral and maxillofacial tumors. METHODS Pairs of single-modality images were obtained from oral and maxillofacial tumor patients, and were fused using a proprietary navigation system by using three algorithms (automatic fusion, manual fusion, and registration point-based fusion). Fusion accuracy was evaluated including two aspects-overall fusion accuracy and tumor volume fusion accuracy-and were indicated by mean deviation and fusion index, respectively. Image modality, fusion algorithm, and other characteristics of multimodal images that may have potential influence on fusion accuracy were recorded. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to identify relevant affecting factors. RESULTS Ninety-three multimodal images were generated by fusing 31 pairs of single-modality images. The interaction effect of image modality and fusion algorithm (P = 0.02, P = 0.003) and thinner slice thickness (P = 0.006) were shown to significantly influence the overall fusion accuracy. The tumor volume (P < 0.001), tumor location (P = 0.007), and image modality (P = 0.01) were significant influencing factors for tumor volume fusion accuracy. CONCLUSIONS To ensure high overall fusion accuracy, manual fusion was not preferred in CT/MRI image fusion, and neither was automatic fusion in image fusion containing PET modality. Using image sets with thinner slice thickness could increase overall fusion accuracy. CT/MRI fusion yielded higher tumor volume fusion accuracy than fusion containing PET modality. The tumor volume fusion accuracy should be taken into consideration during image fusion when the tumor volume is small and the tumor is located in the mandible.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is the most common arterial disease and is closely related to vascular calcification. CircHIPK3 has been implicated in atherosclerosis development, but the possible downstream regulatory mechanisms remain unclear. The levels of circHIPK3, miR-106a and MFN2 in tissues and blood samples of patients with atherosclerosis were detected by RT-qPCR. The levels of circHIPK3, miR-106a and MFN2 were detected by RT-qPCR and the expression levels of MFN2, osteogenic and cartilage differentiation marker proteins were detected by western blot in vitro. ALP staining, Alizarin Red staining, and calcium content detection evaluated the degree of osteogenic differentiation of cells. Alcian blue staining detected the level of cell cartilage differentiation. Luciferase detected the targeting relationship between circHIPK3 and miR-106a-5p, as well as miR-106a-5p and MFN2. CircHIPK3 and MFN2 were low expressed and miR-106a-5p was highly expressed in tissues and blood samples of patients with atherosclerosis, as well as vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) with osteogenic and cartilage differentiation. Overexpression of circHIPK3 reduced the cell mineralization and calcium content. Overexpression of circHIPK3 inhibited osteogenic differentiation by decreasing ALP activity, RUNX2, and OPG expression, and increasing SM22α and SMA level. What's more, overexpression of circHIPK3 decreased the chondrogenic differentiation by inhibiting the protein level of SOX9, aggrecan, and collagen II. CircHIPK3 targeted miR-106a-5p and miR-106a-5p targeted MFN2. MiR-106a-5p overexpression or MFN2 depletion repressed the effect of circHIPK3 overexpression on VSMC calcification. CircHIPK3 regulated osteogenic and cartilage differentiation of VSMC via miR-106a-5p/MFN2 axis, indicating a target for treating vascular calcification.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Loss of motor function in the trapezius muscle is one complication of radical neck dissection after cutting the accessory nerve (AN) during surgery. Nerve repair is an effective method to restore trapezius muscle function, and includes neurolysis, direct suture, and nerve grafting. The suprascapular nerve (SCN) and AN are next to each other in position. The function of the AN and SCN in shoulder elevation and abduction movement is synergistic. SCN might be considered by surgeons for AN reanimation.
AIM To obtain anatomical and clinical data for partial suprascapular nerve-to-AN transfer.
METHODS Ten sides of cadavers perfused with formalin were obtained from the Department of Human Anatomy, Histology and Embryology, Peking University Health Science Center. The SCN (n = 10) and AN (n = 10) were carefully dissected in the posterior triangle of the neck, and the trapezius muscle was dissected to fully display the accessory nerve. The length of the SCN from the origin of the brachial plexus (a point) to the scapular notch (b point) and the distance of the SCN from the origin point (a point) to the point (c point) where the AN entered the border of the trapezius muscle were measured. The length and branches of the AN in the trapezius muscle were measured. A female patient aged 55 years underwent surgery for partial SCN to AN transfer at Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology. The patient suffered from recurrent upper gingival cancer. Radical neck dissection was performed on the right side, and the right AN was removed at the intersection between the nerve and the posterior border of the SCM muscle. One-third of the diameter of the SCN was cut off, and combined epineurial and perineurial sutures were applied between the distal end of the cut-off fascicles of the SCN and the proximal end of the AN without tension. Both subjective and objective evaluations were performed before, three months after, and nine months after surgery. For the subjective evaluation, the questionnaire included the Neck Dissection Impairment Index (NDII) and the Constant Shoulder Scale. Electromyography was used for the objective examination. Data were analyzed using t tests with SPSS 19.0 software to determine the relationship between the length of the SCN and the linear distance. A P value of < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
RESULTS The whole length of the AN in the trapezius muscle was 16.89 cm. The average numbers of branches distributed in the descending, horizontal and ascending portions were 3.8, 2.6 and 2.2, respectively. The diameter of the AN was 1.94 mm at the anterior border of the trapezius. The length of the suprascapular nerve from the origin of the brachial plexus to the scapular notch was longer than the distance of the suprascapular nerve from the origin point to the point where the accessory nerve entered the upper edge of the trapezius muscle. The amplitude of trapezius muscle electromyography indicated that both the horizontal and ascending portions of the trapezius muscle on the right side had better function than the left side nine months after surgery. The results showed that the right-sided supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles did not lose more function than the left side.
CONCLUSION Based on anatomical data and clinical application, partial suprascapular nerve-to-AN transfer could be achieved and may improve innervation of the affected trapezius muscle after radical neck dissection.

Abstract
PURPOSE Ewing sarcoma (EwS) is an aggressive malignant neoplasm composed of small round cells. The heterogeneity and developmental trajectories of EwS are uncertain. METHODS Single-cell RNA sequencing was performed on 4 EwS tumor tissue samples, and 3 transcriptional atlases were generated. K-nearest neighbor algorithm was used to predict the origin of tumor cells at single-cell resolution. Monocle2 package was used to perform pseudotime trajectory analysis in tumor cells. Differentially expressed genes were compared against those in all other clusters via the FindMarkers function, and then they were subjected to GO analysis using clusterProfiler package. RESULTS Combined with the results of k-nearest neighbor algorithm and pseudotime trajectory analysis in tumor cells, we thought meningeal EwS originated from neural crest cells during epithelial to mesenchymal transition and simulated the process of neural crest cell lineage differentiation. But for perirenal EwS and spinal EwS, we hypothesized that after the neural crest cell lineage mutated into them, the tumor cells did not maintain the differentiation trajectory of neural crest cell lineage, and the development trajectory of tumor cells became chaotic. GO analysis results showed that interferon signaling pathway-related biological processes play an essential role in the tumorigenesis and tumor progression process of EwS, and among these biological processes genes, JAK1 gene up-regulated most significantly and highly expressed in all tumor cells. Ruxolitinib was used to explore the function of JAK1. Targeting JAK1 can promote apoptosis of EwS tumor cells, inhibit the migration and invasion of EwS tumor cells, and inhibit cell proliferation by inducing cell cycle S phase arrest. CONCLUSION EwS was derived from neural crest cell lineage with variable developmental timing of oncogenic conversion, and the JAK1 might be a candidate for therapeutic targets of EwS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vascular calcification (VC), as a prevalent feature of atherosclerosis (AS), is a life-threatening pathological change. Mitofusin 2 (MFN2) has been reported to be down-regulated and participate in the pathogenesis of AS. Here, we explored the feasible impacts of MFN2 on VC in AS. METHODS Atherosclerotic lesion was evaluated by Oil Red O staining. The VC was detected by Alizarin Red S staining, ALP staining, and calcium content in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) or atherosclerotic mice. The chondrocyte differentiation of VSMCs was measured by Alcian blue staining. Western blotting and qRT-PCR were used to determine the protein and mRNA expression of associated molecules. Intermolecular interaction was measured by ChIP and dual luciferase assays. RESULTS The expression of MFN2 and E2F1 was reduced in the aorta tissues of AS patients and mice. Silencing of MFN2 drove calcification in VSMCs and aortas of atherosclerotic mice as confirmed by up-regulating RUNX2, OPG levels, and down-regulating SM22α, α-SMA levels. The chondrocyte differentiation of VSMCs was accelerated by MFN2 knockdown through inducing the expression of Aggrecan, Collagen II, and SOX9. In addition, E2F1 promoted the transcription and expression of MFN2 in VSMCs. Overexpression of MFN2 or E2F1 suppressed ox-LDL-induced VSMC calcification. Finally, MFN2 depletion enhanced VSMC calcification via activating RAS-RAF-ERK1/2 pathway. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that silencing of MFN2 drives VC via activating RAS-RAF-ERK1/2 pathway in the progression of AS, thus MFN2 may be a therapeutic target for AS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of mixed reality combined with surgical navigation in oral and maxillofacial tumor surgery. METHODS Retrospective analysis of data of seven patients with oral and maxillofacial tumors who underwent surgery between January 2019 and January 2021 using a combination of mixed reality and surgical navigation. Virtual surgical planning and navigation plan were based on preoperative CT datasets. Through IGT-Link port, mixed reality workstation was synchronized with surgical navigation, and surgical planning data were transferred to the mixed reality workstation. Osteotomy lines were marked with the aid of both surgical navigation and mixed reality images visualized through HoloLens. Frozen section examination was used to ensure negative surgical margins. Postoperative CT datasets were obtained 1 week after the surgery, and chromatographic analysis of virtual osteotomies and actual osteotomies was carried out. Patients received standard oncological postoperative follow-up. RESULTS Of the seven patients, four had maxillary tumors and three had mandibular tumors. There were total of 13 osteotomy planes. Mean deviation between the planned osteotomy plane and the actual osteotomy plane was 1.68 ± 0.92 mm; the maximum deviation was 3.46 mm. Chromatographic analysis showed error of ≤3 mm for 80.16% of the points. Mean deviations of maxillary and mandibular osteotomy lines were approximate (1.60 ± 0.93 mm vs. 1.86 ± 0.93 mm). While five patients had benign tumors, two had malignant tumors. Mean deviations of osteotomy lines was comparable between patients with benign and malignant tumors (1.48 ± 0.74 mm vs. 2.18 ± 0.77 mm). Intraoperative frozen pathology confirmed negative resection margins in all cases. No tumor recurrence or complications occurred during mean follow-up of 15.7 months (range, 6-26 months). CONCLUSION The combination of mixed reality technology and surgical navigation appears to be feasible, safe, and effective for tumor resection in the oral and maxillofacial region.

Abstract
This study was a prospective single arm trial conducted in Zhejiang Jinhua Guangfu hospital from February 2018 to June 2020. A total of 39 patients (32 males and 7 females) with esophageal cancer, aged from 44 to 82 (69±9) years were enrolled. Diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging(MR-DWI) was implemented to evaluate the changes of apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC) value before and after chemoradiotherapy. The results showed that the ADC value after chemoradiotherapy was higher than that before treatment[(2.03±0.42)×10⁻³ mm 2/s vs (1.60±0.28)×10⁻³ mm2/s], and there was a positive correlation between the increase of ADC value and the prognosis of patients.

Abstract
This retrospective case-series study aimed to elucidate the three-dimensional attachment morphometric features and to quantify the volumetric changes of the masticatory muscles following free fibular flap reconstruction of the mandibular condyle. Navigation software (iPlan, version 3.0; Brainlab) was used to perform delineation and volumetric measurement of the masticatory muscles using DICOM data. In total, 30 patients were included in this retrospective case series. In 25 cases (83.33%), the lateral pterygoid muscle achieved reattachment within 6 months postoperatively. The medial pterygoid muscles on the affected side achieved ectopic attachment in all cases. However, masseter reattachment on the affected side was achieved in only three cases. On the normal side, the volumes of lateral pterygoid muscle, medial pterygoid muscle, and masseter had recovered to almost preoperative levels at 1 year postoperatively. On the affected side, the volume of medial pterygoid muscle had decreased significantly (p = 2.4e-04) at 3 months postoperatively. The volumes of lateral pterygoid muscle and masseter showed mild decreases at 3 months postoperatively, but these were not significant (p = 0.52 and p = 0.05 for the pterygoid muscle and masseter, respectively). At 6 months after surgery, with the exception of the volume of the lateral pterygoid muscle (p = 0.06), the total volume of the masticatory muscles decreased significantly on the affected side. The volumes of lateral pterygoid muscle, medial pterygoid muscle, and masseter showed significant decreases at 1 year postoperatively (p = 0.03, p = 4.7e-08, and p = 1.1e-05, respectively) on the affected side. The postoperative volumes of the masseter, medial pterygoid, and lateral pterygoid muscles showed significant decreases due to the loss of reattachment. The results of this study may not help to ascertain whether reattachment of masticatory muscles will lead to better function. As a consequence, clinical trials of higher quality are needed.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the osteogenic effect of nano-grade pearl powder(NPP)/chitosan-hyaluronic acid (C-HA)/recombinant human bone morphology protein-2 (rhBMP-2) artificial bone. METHODS A bone defect model with a diameter of 7 mm and a height of 10 mm was made at the distal end of the femur. NPP/C-HA stent containing rhBMP-2 was prepared according to the shape of the defect. No material was implanted in the defect as blank group. NPP/C-HA was used as the control group, NPP/C-HA/rhBMP-2 was implanted into the experimental group. At 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks, the bone effects of each component were detected by cone-beam CT(CBCT), H-E and Masson staining. Serum ALP activity and OCN in tissues to determine the osteogenic differentiation and osteogenesis maturity were detected. SPSS 18.0 software package was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS At 12 weeks, the defect was completely repaired in the experimental group. No immunological side effects such as inflammation and rejection were observed. At 8 and 12 weeks, CBCT showed that the experimental group had a higher CT value (Hounsfield units, HU) compared with the control group and the blank group(P<0.05). H-E and Masson staining showed that the experimental group had obvious new bone formation compared with the control group and the blank group at 8 weeks and 12 weeks, and ALP activity of the experimental group was significantly different from the control group and the blank group at 8 weeks. OCN immunohistochemical scoring of the experimental group was significantly different from the control group and the blank group(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS NPP/C-HA/rhBMP-2 has good tissue fusion, osteoinductivity, osteoconductivity and osteogenicity, which is expected to provide more effective treatment for bone repair.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effect of perioperative chemotherapy on the prognosis of gastric cancer patients under real-world condition. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was carried out. Real world data of gastric cancer patients receiving perioperative chemotherapy and surgery + adjuvant chemotherapy in 33 domestic hospitals from January 1, 2014 to January 31, 2016 were collected. Inclusion criteria: (1) gastric adenocarcinoma was confirmed by histopathology, and clinical stage was cT2-4aN0-3M0 (AJCC 8th edition); (2) D2 radical gastric cancer surgery was performed; (3) at least one cycle of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) was completed; (4) at least 4 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) [SOX (S-1+oxaliplatin) or CapeOX (capecitabine + oxaliplatin)] were completed. Exclusion criteria: (1) complicated with other malignant tumors; (2) radiotherapy received; (3) patients with incomplete data. The enrolled patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy were included in the perioperative chemotherapy group, and those who received only postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy were included in the surgery + adjuvant chemotherapy group. Propensity score matching (PSM) method was used to control selection bias. The primary outcome were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) after PSM. OS was defined as the time from the first neoadjuvant chemotherapy (operation + adjuvant chemotherapy group: from the date of operation) to the last effective follow-up or death. PFS was defined as the time from the first neoadjuvant chemotherapy (operation + adjuvant chemotherapy group: from the date of operation) to the first imaging diagnosis of tumor progression or death. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the survival rate, and the Cox proportional hazards model was used to evaluate the independent effect of perioperative chemo therapy on OS and PFS. Results: 2 045 cases were included, including 1 293 cases in the surgery+adjuvant chemotherapy group and 752 cases in the perioperative chemotherapy group. After PSM, 492 pairs were included in the analysis. There were no statistically significant differences in gender, age, body mass index, tumor stage before treatment, and tumor location between the two groups (all P>0.05). Compared with the surgery + adjuvant chemotherapy group, patients in the perioperative chemotherapy group had higher proportion of total gastrectomy (χ(2)=40.526, P<0.001), smaller maximum tumor diameter (t=3.969, P<0.001), less number of metastatic lymph nodes (t=1.343, P<0.001), lower ratio of vessel invasion (χ(2)=11.897, P=0.001) and nerve invasion (χ(2)=12.338, P<0.001). In the perioperative chemotherapy group and surgery + adjuvant chemotherapy group, 24 cases (4.9%) and 17 cases (3.4%) developed postoperative complications, respectively, and no significant difference was found between two groups (χ(2)=0.815, P=0.367). The median OS of the perioperative chemotherapy group was longer than that of the surgery + adjuvant chemotherapy group (65 months vs. 45 months, HR: 0.74, 95% CI: 0.62-0.89, P=0.001); the median PFS of the perioperative chemotherapy group was also longer than that of the surgery+adjuvant chemotherapy group (56 months vs. 36 months, HR=0.72, 95% CI:0.61-0.85, P<0.001). The forest plot results of subgroup analysis showed that both men and women could benefit from perioperative chemotherapy (all P<0.05); patients over 45 years of age (P<0.05) and with normal body mass (P<0.01) could benefit significantly; patients with cTNM stage II and III presented a trend of benefit or could benefit significantly (P<0.05); patients with signet ring cell carcinoma benefited little (P>0.05); tumors in the gastric body and gastric antrum benefited more significantly (P<0.05). Conclusion: Perioperative chemotherapy can improve the prognosis of gastric cancer patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the clinical outcomes and long-term stability of individualized titanium mesh combined with free flap for orbital floor reconstruction after maxillectomy and to identify the risk factors for titanium mesh exposure. MATERIAL AND METHODS The data of 66 patients who underwent maxillectomy and orbital floor defect reconstruction by individualized titanium mesh in Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology between 2011 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Postoperative ophthalmic function and success of aesthetic restoration were assessed. Titanium mesh exposure was recorded and the risk factors were identified. RESULTS Mean follow-up was for 24.8 months (range, 6-92 months). Ophthalmic function was successfully restored in 63/66 patients. Aesthetic restoration was not considered satisfactory by 10 patients. Titanium mesh exposure occurred in six patients (exposure rate, 9.1%). Preoperative radiotherapy was identified as an independent risk factor for mesh exposure (OR = 28.8, P = 0.006). Previous surgery, postoperative radiotherapy, pathological type of the primary lesion, the type of tissue flap applied, and the use of intraoperative navigation were not significant risk factors. Six patients with titanium mesh exposure underwent second surgery, but mesh exposure recurred in two patients due to insufficient soft tissue coverage. CONCLUSION Individualized titanium mesh with free flap can effectively restore maxilla-orbital defects. Preoperative radiotherapy is an independent predictor of postoperative titanium mesh exposure. Adequate soft tissue coverage of the mesh may reduce the risk of mesh exposure. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 4 (case-control study) Laryngoscope, 2021.

Abstract
The smoking cessation rate of 1 314 people at high risk of lung cancer in the area of lung cancer screening and early diagnosis and early treatment in Sichuan Province increased from 22.37% at baseline to 41.78% after screening (χ²=227.97, P<0.001), and the smoking amount of persistent smokers decreased from 20 cigarettes per day to 15 cigarettes per day (t=11.76, P<0.001). Those with positive results in lung cancer screening were more likely to quit smoking or continue to quit smoking. Male, younger age or lower education level would increase the risk of continuous smoking or relapse (P<0.05).

Abstract
Background: Lactate greatly contributes to the regulation of intracellular communication within the tumor microenvironment (TME). However, the role of lactate in pituitary adenoma (PA) invasion is unclear. In this study, we aimed to clarify the effects of lactate on the TME and the effects of TME on PA invasion. Methods: To explore the correlation between TME acidosis and tumor invasion, LDHA and LAMP2 expression levels were quantified in invasive (n = 32) and noninvasive (n = 32) PA samples. The correlation between immune cell infiltration and tumor invasion was evaluated in 64 PAs. Critical chemokine and key signaling pathway components were detected by qPCR, Western blotting, siRNA knockdown, and specific inhibitors. The functional consequences of CCR4 signaling inhibition were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Results: Lactate was positively associated with PA invasion. Of the 64 PA tissues, invasive PAs were related to high infiltration of M2-like tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) (P < 0.05). Moreover, lactate secreted from PA cells facilitated M2 polarization via the mTORC2 and ERK signaling pathways, while activated TAMs secreted CCL17 to promote PA invasion via the CCL17/CCR4/mTORC1 axis. According to univariate analysis of clinical data, high CCL17 expression was associated with larger tumor size (P = 0.0438), greater invasion (P = 0.0334), and higher susceptibility to postoperative recurrence (P = 0.0195) in human PAs. Conclusion: This study illustrates the dynamics between PA cells and immune TME in promoting PA invasion via M2 polarization. CCL17 levels in the TME are related to the PA invasiveness and clinical prognosis, and the CCL17/CCR4/mTOCR1 axis may serve as potential therapeutic targets for Pas.

Abstract
Reconstruction of Brown's Class III maxillary defect can be challenging due to the complex geometry of maxilla. We aimed to introduce an improved method for maxillary reconstruction with a composite deep circumflex iliac artery (DCIA) flap aided by virtual surgical planning and intraoperative navigation. A 27-year-old woman diagnosed with left maxillary fibromyxoma was admitted to our institution in December 2018. Pre-operative facial and iliac computed tomography data were obtained for virtual surgical planning. Personalized cutting template, tooth-supported surgical guide, and rapid prototype model with reconstructed orbital floor were printed for pre-operative preparation. Surgery was completely guided by the intraoperative navigation system. The root mean square estimate of the reconstructed area was 3.68 mm. The average errors measured on the lateral and medial DCIA segments were 0.61 and 0.85 mm, respectively. Application of virtual surgical planning and intraoperative navigation could potentially enhance the reconstruction outcomes.

Abstract
Since 2008, oral propranolol has evolved as the first-line therapy for infantile hemangiomas (IHs). Meanwhile, oral atenolol gradually shows comparative effectiveness versus oral propranolol with few side effects. Here, we conducted a mobile internal survey among a group of Chinese clinicians about how they choose the dosage, dose regimen, and dose escalation methods of propranolol and atenolol for the treatment of IH.A mobile-ready internal survey on the application of oral propranolol and oral atenolol for IH in mainland China was performed and distributed to 333 potential clinicians from different levels of healthcare institutions in mainland China. Eighty-one doctors responded to the survey. All the respondents had the experience of treating IH with oral propranolol and 32 had the experience with oral atenolol.Most of the doctors from tertiary hospitals chose 2 mg/kg/d twice daily, while most of those with the experience of propranolol from private hospitals chose 1 mg/kg/d once daily. More doctors from tertiary hospitals had the experience of atenolol than those from private hospitals.Oral atenolol has become another medication intervention option for IH in mainland China. This survey is helpful to standardize and develop a guideline of oral atenolol therapy for IH.

Abstract
Background Although large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) is the most common type of cerebral infarction, non-LAA is not uncommon. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the prognosis of patients with non-LAA and to establish a corresponding nomogram. Patients and methods Between June 2016 and June 2017, we had 1101 admissions for acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Of these, 848 were LAA and 253 were non-LAA. Patients were followed up every 3 months with a minimum of 1 year of follow-up. After excluding patients who were lost follow-up and patients who did not meet the inclusion criteria, a total of 152 non-LAA patients were included in this cohort study. After single-factor analysis and multifactor logistic regression analysis, the risk factors associated with prognosis were derived and different nomograms were developed based on these risk factors. After comparison, the best model is derived. Results Logistics regression found that the patient’s National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, ejection fraction (EF), creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), age, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and serum albumin were independently related to the patient’s prognosis. We thus developed three models: model 1: single NIHSS score, AUC = 0.8534; model 2, NIHSS + cardiac parameters (CK-MB, EF), AUC = 0.9325; model 3, NIHSS + CK−MB + EF + age + AST + NLR + albumin, AUC = 0.9598. We compare the three models: model 1 vs model 2, z = − 2.85, p = 0.004; model 2 vs model 3, z = − 1.58, p = 0.122. Therefore, model 2 is considered to be the accurate and convenient model. Conclusions Predicting the prognosis of patients with non-LAA is important, and our nomogram, built on the NIHSS and cardiac parameters, can predict the prognosis accurately and provide a powerful reference for clinical decision making.

Abstract
Objective: To establish and validate a radiomics nomogram based on MR for predicting cervical lymph node metastasis in laryngeal cancer. Methods: One hundred and seventeen patients with laryngeal cancer who underwent MR examinations and received open surgery and neck dissection between January 2016 and December 2019 were included in this study. All patients were randomly divided into a training cohort (n=89) and test cohort (n=28) using computer-generated random numbers. Clinical characteristics and MR were collected. Radiological features were extracted from the MR images. Enhanced T1 and T2WI were selected for radiomics analysis, and the volume of interest was manually segmented from the Huiyihuiying radiomics cloud platform. The variance analysis (ANOVA) and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm were used to reduce the dimensionality of the radiomics features in the training cohort. Then, a radiomic signature was established. The clinical risk factors were screened by using ANOVA and multivariate logistic regression. A nomogram was generated using clinical risk factors and the radiomic signature. The calibration curve and receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve were used to confirm the nomogram's performance in the training and test sets. The clinical usefulness of the nomogram was evaluated by decision curve analysis (DCA). Furthermore, a testing cohort was used to validate the model. Results: The radiomics signature consisted of 21 features, and the nomogram model included the radiomics signature and the MR-reported lymph node status. The model showed good calibration and discrimination. The model yielded areas under the ROC curve (AUC) in the training cohort, specificity, and sensitivity of 0.930, 0.930 and 0.875. In the test cohort, the model yielded AUC, specificity and sensitivity of 0.883, 0.889 and 0.800. DCA indicated that the nomogram model was clinically useful. Conclusion: The MR-based radiomics nomogram model may be used to predict cervical lymph node metastasis of laryngeal cancer preoperatively. MR-based radiomics could serve as a potential tool to help clinicians make an optimal clinical decision.

Abstract
PURPOSE Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a benign condition in which normal cancellous bone is replaced by immature woven bone and fibrous tissue. The present study aimed to estimate and compare the 3-dimensional (3D) accuracy of bone contouring surgery for zygomaticomaxillary FD performed using virtual planning and surgical navigation versus surgeon's intraoperative assessment. PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a retrospective cross-sectional study. Patients with zygomaticomaxillary FD who underwent bone contouring surgery between 2012 and 2019 were reviewed. They were divided into 2 groups: group A underwent bone contouring surgery using virtual planning and surgical navigation, and group B underwent bone contouring surgery by surgeon's intraoperative assessment. The predictor variable was surgical technique. The other variables were gender, age, and operative region. The primary outcome variable was 3D accuracy, which was indicated by root mean square, calculated as a measure of the deviation of the postoperative computed tomography from the preoperative virtual plan. The other outcome variables were patient satisfaction with the outcome by self-evaluation score and operative times. Correlation analysis between the predictor variables and outcome variables was performed. RESULTS The sample comprised 24 patients (17 males and 7 females, mean age, 25.7 ± 10.45 years), 13 patients in group A and 11 patients in group B. The mean root mean square was significantly lower in group A than in group B (P = .007). Patient satisfaction with facial symmetry was significantly better in group A (P = .015). Mean operative time was comparable between the 2 groups (P = .918). Surgical technique (P = .011) and operative region (P = .01) were significant influence factors in 3D accuracy of surgery. CONCLUSIONS Virtual planning and surgical navigation can significantly improve the 3D accuracy and patient satisfaction of bone contouring surgery for zygomaticomaxillary FD, without prolonging operative time.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop a revised evaluation method for accuracy of multimodal image fusion for oral and maxillofacial tumors and explore its application for comparing the accuracy of three commonly used fusion algorithms, automatic fusion, manual fusion, and registration point-based fusion. MATERIALS AND METHODS Image sets of patients with oral and maxillofacial tumor were fused using the iPlan 3.0 navigation system. Fusion accuracy included two aspects: (1) overall fusion accuracy: represented by the mean value of the coordinate differences along the x-, y-, and z- axes (Δx, Δy, and Δz), mean deviation (MD), and root mean square (RMS) of six pairs of landmarks on the two image sets; (2) tumor volume fusion accuracy: represented by Fusion Index (FI), which was calculated based on the volume of tumor delineated on the two image sets. RESULTS Eighteen pairs of image sets of 17 patients were enrolled in this study. The Δx and Δy values for the three algorithms were less than 1.5 mm. The Δz values for automatic fusion, manual fusion and registration point-based fusion was 1.049 mm, 1.864 mm and 1.254 mm. The MD for automatic fusion, manual fusion and registration point-based fusion was 1.978 mm, 2.788 mm and 1.926 mm. Significant differences existed in Δz for manual fusion and that for automatic fusion (P = 0.058), in MD for manual fusion and that for automatic fusion (P = 0.087), and in MD for manual fusion and that for registration point-based fusion (P = 0.069). The FI for automatic fusion, manual fusion, and registration point-based fusion was 0.594, 0.520, and 0.549; the inter-algorithm differences were not significant (P = 0.290). CONCLUSION The automatic fusion and the registration point-based fusion were more accurate than manual fusion, and therefore were recommended to be used in multimodal image fusion for oral and maxillofacial tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND DNA methylation of paired box gene 1 (PAX1) and zinc finger 582 (ZNF582) is promising cancer biomarkers for oral squamous cell carcinoma detection. This study aims to investigate the correlation between PAX1 or ZNF582 methylation and the progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 135 OSCC cases from Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology were enrolled in this study. Tissue specimens were collected from the lesion site and corresponding adjacent normal site. The methylation level of these two genes was evaluated in primary and recurrent OSCC group. RESULTS Hypermethylation of PAX1 or ZNF582 was observed in lesion sites among primary and recurrent OSCC cases. In the lesion site of primary cases, promoter methylation was observed in T3/T4 (PAX1: P = .02; ZNF582: P = .01), stage III/IV (PAX1: P = .03; ZNF582: P = .01), and bone invasion cases (PAX1: P = .02; ZNF582: P = .047). In the subgroup analysis, the correlation between hypermethylation and OSCC severity remains significant with exposure to smoking/alcohol consumption. CONCLUSIONS Hypermethylated PAX1 and ZNF582 can sufficiently act as biomarkers to reflect the severity or progression of OSCC.

Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests that inflammation is associated with the development of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (N/L) is an important marker of inflammation and is highly correlated with mortality in stroke patients in recent studies. The N/L of patients who experience hemorrhagic transformation (HT) after AIS is know, but any relationship between N/L and large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) remains unclear, this is our present topic. We enrolled 185 patients with LAA-type HT in the development cohort from a prospective, consecutive, hospital-based stroke registry to this end. We matched these patients to 213 LAA patients who did not develop HT as controls. The incidence of HT after LAA was significantly greater (P<0.01) in patients with higher N/L. We developed a predictive nomogram (incorporating age, systolic blood pressure, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, and the N/L) for LAA patients. The predictive power was good (area under the curve, AUC: 0.832, 95%CI: 0.791–0.872). Our findings were further validated in a validation cohort of 202 patients with AIS attributable to LAA (AUC:0.836, 95%CI:0.781–0.891). In summary, a high N/L is associated with an increased risk for HT after LAA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Xp22.11 locus that encompasses PTCHD1, DDX53, and the long noncoding RNA PTCHD1-AS is frequently disrupted in male subjects with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but the functional consequences of these genetic risk factors for ASD are unknown. METHODS To evaluate the functional consequences of PTCHD1 locus deletions, we generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from unaffected control subjects and 3 subjects with ASD with microdeletions affecting PTCHD1-AS/PTCHD1, PTCHD1-AS/DDX53, or PTCHD1-AS alone. Function of iPSC-derived cortical neurons was assessed using molecular approaches and electrophysiology. We also compiled novel and known genetic variants of the PTCHD1 locus to explore the roles of PTCHD1 and PTCHD1-AS in genetic risk for ASD and other neurodevelopmental disorders. Finally, genome editing was used to explore the functional consequences of deleting a single conserved exon of PTCHD1-AS. RESULTS iPSC-derived neurons from subjects with ASD exhibited reduced miniature excitatory postsynaptic current frequency and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor hypofunction. We found that 35 ASD-associated deletions mapping to the PTCHD1 locus disrupted exons of PTCHD1-AS. We also found a novel ASD-associated deletion of PTCHD1-AS exon 3 and showed that exon 3 loss altered PTCHD1-AS splicing without affecting expression of the neighboring PTCHD1 coding gene. Finally, targeted disruption of PTCHD1-AS exon 3 recapitulated diminished miniature excitatory postsynaptic current frequency, supporting a role for the long noncoding RNA in the etiology of ASD. CONCLUSIONS Our genetic findings provide strong evidence that PTCHD1-AS deletions are risk factors for ASD, and human iPSC-derived neurons implicate these deletions in the neurophysiology of excitatory synapses and in ASD-associated synaptic impairment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Selective tracheostomy is an effective but invasive airway management method for patients undergoing head and neck free flap reconstruction. Studies have shown that not all patients need tracheostomy. Several systems evaluating the need for tracheostomy have been proposed, but none is used clinically. METHODS A total of 533 cases underwent head and neck free flap reconstruction at Peking University School of Stomatology were reviewed for system development. Another 131 cases undergone the same surgery were included for system verification. Patients' demographic and surgical-related information were analyzed. RESULT A total of 321 cases in the development cohort and 68 cases in the system cohort underwent tracheostomy. The score was estimated: score = ∑(|log2 OR|). Patients scoring >3 required tracheostomy, those scoring <2 should avoid tracheostomy, and those scoring 2 or 3 need further evaluation. CONCLUSION This scoring system can help determine the need for selective tracheostomy in patients undergoing head and neck free flap reconstruction.

Abstract
Self-interacting proteins (SIPs) is of paramount importance in current molecular biology. There have been developed a number of traditional biological experiment methods for predicting SIPs in the past few years. However, these methods are costly, time-consuming and inefficient, and often limit their usage for predicting SIPs. Therefore, the development of computational method emerges at the times require. In this paper, we for the first time proposed a novel deep learning model which combined natural language processing (NLP) method for potential SIPs prediction from the protein sequence information. More specifically, the protein sequence is de novo assembled by k-mers. Then, we obtained the global vectors representation for each protein sequences by using natural language processing (NLP) technique. Finally, based on the knowledge of known self-interacting and non-interacting proteins, a multi-grained cascade forest model is trained to predict SIPs. Comprehensive experiments were performed on yeast and human datasets, which obtained an accuracy rate of 91.45% and 93.12%, respectively. From our evaluations, the experimental results show that the use of amino acid semantics information is very helpful for addressing the problem of sequences containing both self-interacting and non-interacting pairs of proteins. This work would have potential applications for various biological classification problems.

Abstract
Background At present, gastric cancer (GC) is a serious threat to human life and health. Non‐coding circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been found abnormal expression in multiple tumors. However, circRNAs remain largely unknown in tumor progression. In the present study, we mainly examined the expression, function, and molecular mechanisms of a new circRNAs (hsa_circ_101882) in GC. Materials and methods The expression of hsa_circ_101882 in GC tissue, corresponding adjacent normal tissues, and GC cell lines was examined by RT‐PCR. The function of hsa_circ_101882 in GC was evaluated by MTT assay, cell migration, and invasion assay, colony formation assay, and flow cytometric assay. The effect of hsa_circ_101882 on epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EMT)‐related gene expression was detected by RT‐PCR and Western blot. Results Hsa_circ_101882 expression levels were significantly increased in GC tissue and GC cell lines. Functionally, low expression of hsa_circ_101882 revealed anti‐tumor effects via inhibiting cell growth, migration, and invasion and promoting cell apoptosis. Mechanically, the dysregulated expression of hsa_circ_101882 affects EMT signaling pathway, which was examined by detecting E‐cadherin, N‐cadherin, vimentin, and Snail expression levels. Conclusions Therefore, our research reveals that hsa_circ_101882 is considered a metastasis promoter by activating EMT and may serve as a critical oncogene and potential new biomarker in GC.

Abstract
PURPOSE Zygomatic complex defects after extensive maxillectomy can cause severe esthetic and functional deformities. Patient-specific titanium mesh fabricated using a computer-assisted technique is a promising method for such midface reconstruction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the application and clinical outcomes of this technique. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a retrospective study that included 9 patients with zygomatic complex defects after extensive maxillectomy from 2015 through 2017 at the authors' institution. A 3-dimensional stereo model was obtained based on mirror images of the unaffected side to fabricate a patient-specific titanium mesh using computer-assisted design and manufacturing. Titanium mesh was used to restore the contour of the zygomatic complex with free flap reconstruction after tumor resection. Anterolateral thigh flaps were used in 8 cases and a myocutaneous fibula flap was used in 1 case. Symmetry of the zygomatic complex was evaluated by measuring the zygomatic eminence on the postoperative computed tomogram, and complications were recorded during follow-up visits. Facial symmetry was self-evaluated and scored. RESULTS Mean duration for follow-up was 27.3 months (range, 15 to 39 months). Mean deviation of the zygomatic eminence between the reconstructed and unaffected sides was 1.4 ± 0.5 mm. No significant difference was noted in the zygomatic eminence between the reconstructed and unaffected sides (P = .591). Titanium mesh exposure occurred in only 1 patient after radiotherapy. There were no other remarkable complications. All patients were satisfied with their postoperative facial symmetry. CONCLUSION Patient-specific titanium mesh fabricated using a computer-assisted technique was an alternative option for extensive zygomatic complex reconstruction, resulting in acceptable clinical outcomes. A study with a larger sample and long-term follow-up is needed for the observation of long-term outcomes and risk of titanium mesh-related complications.

Abstract
Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations are performed to investigate the atomic structures and dynamics of Ni64Zr36 and Ni65Hf35 metallic liquids in a temperature range of 1400-2500 K. Calculated results are in good agreement with recently reported high temperature experimental data. Local atomic structures are analyzed and compared for Ni64Zr36 and Ni65Hf35 metallic liquids in terms of average bond length, coordination number, Honey-Andersen index, Bond-orientation order, spatial correlation and Voronoi tessellation methods. It is found that Zr-Zr bonds have larger average length of 3.32 Å than 3.22 Å for Hf-Hf bonds, causing sluggish diffusion in Ni65Hf35 liquids. Zr and Hf atom-centered clusters with higher coordination numbers are inclined to aggregate with high-coordinated clusters, while Ni atom-centered clusters with lower coordination numbers prefer to avoiding to be the nearest neighbor with each other. Temperature dependent diffusion coefficients reveal the decoupled diffusion in both liquids, which are related with different spatial correlations for Ni- and Zr- (or Hf-) centered clusters.
