Background: Skin graft involves removing a part of the skin and using it in another part of the body. One of the most common reasons for using a graft is burns. We aimed to compare the effect of Colactive plus Ag dressing with Vaseline gauze dressing in donor sites of split-thickness skin grafts of burned patients.
Methods: The present study was conducted as a randomized clinical trial (RCT) in the Motahari burn Hospital, Tehran, Iran in 1401. The sampling method was done using Cochran's formula and available patients so 15 people were enrolled. The findings of the study were collected using a researcher-made form.
Results: The average duration of recovery, the amount and intensity of pain, and the amount of itching between the two types of Colative plus Ag plus Ag dressing with Vaseline gauze are statistically significant at the 95% confidence level. (P-value<0.05). In addition, the findings showed that the average amount of scar left by the wound in the two types of dressings examined is not statistically significant at the 95% confidence level (P-value > 0.05).
Conclusion: The use of Colactive silver dressing has less pain, less itching in the donor area, and a shorter average recovery time than Vaseline gauze. The use of the Colactive plus Ag will be more effective than Vaseline gauze.
背景:皮肤移植是指切除部分皮肤,然后将其用于身体的另一部分。使用植皮的最常见原因之一是烧伤。我们的目的是比较 Colactive 加 Ag 敷料与凡士林纱布敷料在烧伤患者分层厚皮移植供体部位的效果:本研究是一项随机临床试验(RCT),于 1401 年在伊朗德黑兰的莫塔哈里烧伤医院进行。抽样方法采用科克兰公式和可用患者,因此有 15 人被纳入研究。研究结果通过研究人员自制的表格收集:在 95% 的置信水平下,两种类型的 Colative 加 Ag 加 Ag 敷料与凡士林纱布之间的平均恢复时间、疼痛量和强度以及瘙痒量均有统计学意义(P 值 0.05)。(P值为0.05):与凡士林纱布相比,使用 Colactive 银敷料的供体区疼痛更轻、瘙痒更少,平均恢复时间更短。使用 Colactive plus Ag 比凡士林纱布更有效。

Background: Trauma is a leading cause of death and disability in developing countries, with maxillofacial fractures being a significant part of such cases. This study focuses on maxillofacial traumas among insured patients in Razavi Khorasan province (2016-2021), exploring the impact of gender, age, and trauma causes on injury prevalence and treatment approaches.
Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study utilized the records of the patients who were treated for maxillofacial fractures in Mashhad Shahid Kamyab Hospital or a Private Trauma Center, from 2016 to 2021. Demographic characteristics of the patients (age and gender), educational backgrounds of surgeons, accident causes, year and location of the fractures, and reasons for referrals were recorded. The data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 20, and the significance level was set at 0.05.
Results: We examined the records of 60 patients (44 males, 16 females). Males (73.4%) exhibited a significantly higher prevalence of maxillofacial traumas compared to females (26%) (P Value < 0.05). Falling was identified as the most common cause of fractures (51.7%), followed by impacts from hard objects and motor vehicle accidents (MVA) (P Value = 0.63). Mandible fractures were observed in 48% of patients, followed by zygomaticomaxillary and panfacial fractures, subsequently (P Value < 0.05).
Conclusion: The study findings highlight the impact of age, gender, and trauma causes on maxillofacial fractures and treatments among patients with certain insurance. Understanding the origins and patterns of these fractures offers crucial insights for shaping effective health policies, providing valuable guidance for addressing such injuries in this population.

Background: In Flexor Pollicis Longus (FPL) injuries, primary repair with end-to-end suture is the treatment of choice. In cases where primary repair is not possible, tendon transfer or tendon grafting is used, each of which has its strengths and weaknesses. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of each of the above two methods in patients.
Methods: Patients with FPL injury who referred to Hazrat Fatemeh Hospital, Tehran, Iran late in 2020 to 2021, if primary tendon repair was not possible, were randomly repaired with tendon transfer or tendon graft. After the appropriate time, the splint was opened and physiotherapy was performed for the patients. Then, at least three months after the repair, the range of motion of the IP and MP joints of the patients thumb was measured and compared in two groups.
Results: Ten patients in the tendon transfer group and 10 patients in the tendon graft group were studied. In the secondary repair of FPL with tendon grafting, the range of motion of both IP and MP joints of the thumb was not significantly different compared to repair with tendon transfer.
Conclusion: The findings of this research confirm controversies in this field. In order to obtain more accurate results, it is suggested to carry out a research with a larger number of patients and with strict control over the surgical technique and post-operative care, as well as taking into account the morbidities caused by donor tendon removal and examining the overall satisfaction of the patients.

Background: Burn injuries are amongst the most devastating causes of trauma worldwide. Preventive measures can be of great value in decreasing burn incidents. Increasing the knowledge and education of patients is a crucial step in this process.
Methods: In this prospective cross-sectional study, we evaluated 82 patients with burn injuries who were divided into two groups randomly during the 2018 to 2019 at Shahid Motahari Hospital, Tehran, Iran. The first group received an e-Book, and the second group a paperback booklet to read before visiting their primary care. Besides, both groups received a questionnaire on their knowledge of burn injuries and prevention before and after the visit. The e-Book and paperback booklet included basic information about burn injuries and preventive measures. We compared the questionnaire results in both groups before and after reading the e-book and booklet using a paired t-test analysis.
Results: There was a significant improvement in self-reported knowledge of burn prevention (P < 0.05; CI: 95%). Subjects receiving the eBook performed significantly had better post-survey (P < .01, 95% CI), despite equivalent pre-survey scores compared to those receiving the booklet.
Conclusion: Increased use of interactive educational modalities, such as an e-book, can benefit patients with knowledge of their disease and improve the quality of care. These modalities may increase compliance with the physician's recommendations regarding their disease states and treatments.

Mucocele is a benign soft tissue mass that could occur in all accessory glands. Mucocele can also occur in paranasal sinuses. It is mostly placed in the frontal sinus and barely grows larger than 1.5 centimeters(cm). Based on the affected site, it could cause facial pain and headache. Analgesics like opioids could relieve and potentially make patients ignore the headache and cause giant frontal mucocele. This article discusses a patient with giant frontal sinus mucocele (7×8×8 cm) and opium addiction that presented with severe and intolerable pain. A 32 yr old man came to Rajaee Trauma Hospital, Shiraz, Iran with a severe headache and a large swelling of the face frontal region that developed gradually. In physical examination, the mass was non-tender, non-pulsatile, and free from the overlying normal skin. Computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a frontal sinus mucocele. The operation was planned, and the patient was discharged after two days. Subsequently, the 6-month follow-up of the patient was normal. Two different hypotheses are declared in this article. First, the potential role of opium addiction as a risk factor for giant mucoceles was noted, then the analgesic non-responsiveness of sinus mucoceles was described. The latter hypothesis is more likely. So, we should consider that if the patient had an analgesic-resistant headache, one differential diagnosis could be sinus mucocele. Moreover, the pos sible psychological effect of addiction on discounting face beauty was acknowledged.

The right hand of a 35-year-old man trapped in a roller machine and sustained an entire degloving injury of the right hand involving fingers, thumb and a part of palmar and dorsal surfaces of the hand. The denuded hand and fingers were covered with two anteriorly based random paired flaps, forming a hand sandwich, from the opposing surfaces of medial left arm and adjacent left lateral chest wall. The denuded thumb was covered with a separate pocket of paired random vis-à-vis flaps. Finally, the right hand was turned to a functional mitten hand with a 15x13 cm flap on the dorsal surface, 10x10 cm flap on the palm surface. The thumb's covered surface with flaps was 7x 6 cm.

Background: Maxillofacial fractures are a common type of injury that can result in significant morbidity and mortality. We aimed to systematically review the literature on the prevalence and causes of maxillofacial fractures in Iran to estimate the overall prevalence of maxillofacial fractures and the most common causes.
Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science (WS) and Google Scholar (GS) electronic databases was conducted to identify relevant articles published up to January 2023. Studies reporting the prevalence and causes of maxillofacial fractures in Iran were included in the analysis. MOOSE guidelines were adopted for the current systematic review. No data or language restriction were applied. Risk of bias across the articles was assessed.
Results: A total of 32 studies comprising 35,720 patients were included in the analysis. The most common cause of maxillofacial fractures was road traffic accidents (RTAs), accounting for 68.97% of all cases, followed by falls (12.62%) and interpersonal violence (9.03%). The prevalence of maxillofacial fractures was higher in males (81.04%) and in the age group of 21-30 years (43.23%). Risk of bias across studies was considered low.
Conclusion: Maxillofacial fractures are a significant public health problem in Iran, with a high prevalence and RTAs being the leading cause. These results highlight the need for increased efforts to prevent maxillofacial fractures in Iran, especially through measures to reduce the incidence of RTAs.

Background: Hand zone II flexor tendon repair had been associated with many complications thereby it was previously called no man's land. Although there is some agreement on the primary repair of flexor tendons in this area, it is challenging due to certain complications. We compared the six and four-strand techniques in the repair of flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) tendons of zone II.
Methods: This randomized controlled clinical trial was registered with the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT20130812014333N139). Fifty patients with damaged FDP in zone II of the hand who were referred to Taleghani Hospital, Kermanshah, Iran in 2020 were included and divided into two groups (n=25). In group 1, the damaged tendons were repaired using the four-strand technique and prolene suture while in group 2, the six-strand technique was used. Postoperatively, the patients were examined every week for the first three weeks. In the second and third weeks, sutures were removed. At the end of 3rd month, the outcomes of surgery were compared in the groups.
Results: Fifty patients (74% male) with 85 damaged fingers were investigated. Based on Buck-Gramcko criteria, the outcomes of surgery were excellent in 78%, good in 16%, fair in 4%, and bad in 2%. Complications after surgery were adhesion (8%) and 2 cases of rupture. There was no significant difference between 4 and 6-strand sutures regarding tendon adhesion and range of motion.
Conclusion: Both 4 and 6-strand sutures were associated with favorable outcomes in patients with damaged FDP in zone II of the hand.
背景:手部 II 区屈肌腱修复术与许多并发症有关,因此以前被称为 "无人区"。尽管人们对该区域屈肌腱的主要修复方法已达成一定共识,但由于某些并发症的存在,该区域的修复仍具有挑战性。我们比较了修复 II 区屈指肌腱的六股和四股技术:这项随机对照临床试验已在伊朗临床试验注册中心注册(IRCT20130812014333N139)。纳入 2020 年转诊至伊朗克尔曼沙阿 Taleghani 医院的 50 名手部 II 区肌腱受损患者,并将其分为两组(n=25)。第一组使用四线技术和 prolene 缝合线修复受损肌腱,第二组使用六线技术。术后前三周,每周对患者进行检查。第二周和第三周,拆除缝线。第三个月结束时,比较各组的手术效果:共调查了 50 名患者(74% 为男性)的 85 根受损手指。根据 Buck-Gramcko 标准,78% 的患者手术效果极佳,16% 的患者手术效果良好,4% 的患者手术效果一般,2% 的患者手术效果不佳。术后并发症为粘连(8%)和 2 例断裂。在肌腱粘连和活动范围方面,4股缝合线和6股缝合线没有明显差异:结论:对于手部II区FDP受损的患者来说,4股缝合线和6股缝合线都能带来良好的疗效。

Background: Pericoronitis is a common pathological condition related to mandibular third molar teeth (wisdom teeth). It is an inflammation of the soft tissue surrounding the crown of an erupted or partially erupted tooth that causes pain and discomfort. We aimed to investigate the relation between third molar impaction types and pericoronitis.
Methods: This cross-sectional study assessed 60 patients referred to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department of Mashhad Dental School, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran in 2022 for totally and partially impacted mandibular third molar tooth surgery with pericoronitis. Their demographic data, including age and gender, was recorded. The impacted tooth's side and the symptoms of pericoronitis were identified using clinical examination and panoramic radiography imaging, based on the Pell & Gregory criteria and Peterson's classification. Third-molar tooth surgery was performed according to standard protocol. Patients' data were recorded and were analyzed using Excel 2019 and SPSS ver 21.
Results: The prevalence of pericoronitis symptoms in women was higher than in men (P< 0.001). The Class B type of third molar teeth impaction had a relation with the majority of pericoronitis cases (P< 0.001). Pericoronitis and systemic symptoms were more likely to occur in Class II than in Class I type of third molar teeth impaction (P< 0.001). The most frequent kind of impaction linked to pericoronitis and systemic symptoms such as malaise was mesio-angular (P< 0.001). The symptoms of pericoronitis were substantially correlated with smoking (P< 0.001).
Conclusion: Class B, Class II, and mesio-angular types of third molar impaction are linked with a higher risk of pericoronitis. This information might help in the early diagnosis and management of pericoronitis in patients with impacted third molar teeth.

This study aims to explain microscopic replantation in a rare case of a wholly amputated penis after prolonged ischemia. A 36-year-old patient underwent microscopic replantation of the penis after 9 hours. The penis was completely amputated due to self-mutilation. Microvascular replantation was performed after pre-operative preparation. On the second day after surgery, congestion was observed in the penis, and three sessions of leech therapy were conducted each time the leeches were placed for 30 minutes and then detached by themselves. The patient was referred to a psychiatrist to continue treatment after discharge from the hospital. Penile amputation is a rare situation and has different causes. There are various treatments to repair the amputated penis, which are both microvascular and microvascular. The microsurgery methods have shown the best results. In the present case, due to microsurgical artery repair and the early start of leech therapy, there was limited and predictable necrosis in the area of the penoscrotal junction flap, which underwent debridement and skin graft. Complete amputation of the penis is a rare phenomenon. Efforts should be made to perform the replantation surgery as soon as possible. The venous outflow is an essential factor in the success of penile re-implantation, and completely restored vascular and sensory function in this case. Early initiation of psychological care to control underlying disease leads to further cooperation of the patient to handle complications and avoid the recurrence of self-injury.
