Objectives

The Cupid’s peak triangle theory was established to reveal the aesthetics essence of the Cupid’s peak through golden ratio deviation to provide quantitative theoretical basis for lip plastic and cosmetic surgery.

Materials and methods

Model the Cupid’s peak line on the lip bow ridge and construct expressions for Cupid’s peak parameters and their associated triangle theory using the angle circle (AC) and radius circle (RC) of the Cupid’s peak line. Calculate and establish functional relationships for Cupid’s peak parameters and the concept of the Cupid’s peak index (CPI) golden ratio deviation (GRD).

Results

In the Cupid’s peak triangle theory, important parameters describing Cupid’s peak morphology include Cupid’s peak angle (ACp), arc (RCp), the smooth connection point (SI) of the Cupid’s peak arc and line, and the CPI. The parameters are interrelated in their functional relationships. ACp determines RCp, the SI point determines the proportion of the Cupid’s peak arc to the line, and CPI determines GRD. Cupid’s peak parameter ranges in the normal population are as follows: ACp is 109°−160°, RCp is 1.24–0.35 rad, CPI is 0.614–0.508, and GRD is 0.62%−17.85%.

Conclusions

The Cupid’s peak triangle theory reveals the functional relationship between the Cupid’s peak parameters and quantifies the aesthetics essence of lip shape.

Clinical relevance

The morphology of the Cupid’s peak serves as a tangible manifestation of lip shape aesthetics. This study aims to elucidate the aesthetic essence and general principles of Cupid’s peak morphology, offering a quantitative theoretical foundation for lip plastic and cosmetic surgery.

Introduction

Open lower limb fractures are severe injuries with long-lasting consequences. Limited research has been conducted on the impact of these injuries on quality of life (QoL), internationally.

Methods

The Quality of Life after Open Extremity Trauma (QUINTET) study was designed as an international, multicentric, observational, cohort study of patients presented with open lower limb fractures. Demographic and clinical information was collected, along with repeated validated QoL measures. Primary outcomes were SF-12 and EQ-5D-3L, and secondary outcomes were soft tissue infection, deep infection, non-union and amputation.

Results

A total of 92 patients were enrolled in 8 centres, based in the UK, Spain, Chile and Sudan. The mean age at presentation was 54 years, 47 years for males and 64 years for females. Males presented a higher proportion of road traffic accidents as the underlying mechanism, whereas for females, this was the case of low-energy falls. Participant retention was 71.7% and 73.9% for the 3- and 12-month assessments, respectively. There was a substantial reduction in QoL after open fracture, which only partially recovered at 12 months. Participants recruited in the UK presented lower QoL scores compared with patients treated in Spain and Chile.

Discussion

For this study, international patient recruitment proved challenging, leading to most patients being recruited in the UK. Despite this limitation, we found a statistically significant detriment in self-reported QoL, which did not recover after a year. This study highlights differences in quality-of-life outcomes from a gender and international perspective.

简介开放性下肢骨折是一种严重的损伤，会造成长期的后果。目前，国际上关于这些损伤对生活质量（QoL）影响的研究十分有限：开放性四肢创伤后生活质量（QUINTET）研究是一项国际性、多中心、观察性、队列研究，研究对象为开放性下肢骨折患者。该研究收集了患者的人口统计学和临床信息，并反复采用了经过验证的 QoL 测量方法。主要结果为 SF-12 和 EQ-5D-3L，次要结果为软组织感染、深部感染、不愈合和截肢：英国、西班牙、智利和苏丹的 8 个中心共招募了 92 名患者。患者的平均年龄为 54 岁，其中男性 47 岁，女性 64 岁。男性以道路交通事故为根本原因的比例较高，而女性则以低能量跌倒为根本原因。在 3 个月和 12 个月的评估中，参与者的保留率分别为 71.7% 和 73.9%。开放性骨折后，患者的生活质量大幅下降，12个月后才部分恢复。与在西班牙和智利接受治疗的患者相比，在英国招募的参与者的 QoL 分数较低：讨论：在这项研究中，国际患者招募具有挑战性，导致大多数患者在英国招募。尽管存在这一局限性，但我们发现自我报告的 QoL 在统计学上有显著下降，一年后仍未恢复。这项研究从性别和国际角度强调了生活质量结果的差异。

Background

The free fibula flap (FFF) is acknowledged as the primary choice for reconstructing composite oromandibular defects (COMDs), yet the impact of donor leg selection remains inadequately explored. This study aims to investigate the correlation between flap failure and the choice of donor leg and recipient vessel side.

Materials and methods

In a retrospective analysis spanning 2011 to 2020, FFFs for COMD were examined using electronic records. Patient data, comorbidities, radiation history, FFF details, and intraoperative variables were considered. Laterality was categorized into “Cis” and “Trans” groups, further subclassified based on blood supply. Analyses involved logistic regression, bivariate analysis, and propensity score matching.

Results

A total of 155 subjects with intraoral mucosal defects repaired only by the skin paddle of FFF were included. Cases were categorized into “Cis” (n = 65; 42%) and “Trans” (n = 90; 58%) groups based on COMD side and donor leg selection. No significant baseline differences emerged. Logistic regression found no laterality impact on total FFF failure. Initially, gender correlated with flap failure, but adjustment diminished the association. Partial skin paddle necrosis correlated with diabetes, not laterality. Propensity score matching revealed no significant differences between right and left legs in laterality or total flap failure risk. Subgroup analysis found no differences in parameters or flap failure rates within “Cis” and “Trans” groups.

Conclusion

Donor leg selection in COMD reconstruction with FFFs does not exhibit specificity. Furthermore, despite potential limitations in vessel anastomosis due to pedicle length or trauma history, recipient vessel side selection does not evidently affect flap failure.

背景游离腓骨瓣（FFF）被认为是重建复合下颌缺损（COMD）的首选，但供体腿选择的影响仍未得到充分探讨。本研究旨在探讨皮瓣失败与供体腿和受体血管侧的选择之间的相关性。材料和方法在2011年至2020年的回顾性分析中，我们使用电子记录检查了用于COMD的FFF。研究考虑了患者数据、合并症、放射史、FFF细节和术中变量。侧位分为 "顺式 "和 "反式 "两组，并根据供血情况进一步细分。分析包括逻辑回归、双变量分析和倾向评分匹配。结果共纳入 155 例仅通过 FFF 皮瓣修复口内粘膜缺损的受试者。根据 COMD 侧和供体腿的选择，病例被分为 "顺式 "组（n = 65；42%）和 "反式 "组（n = 90；58%）。没有出现明显的基线差异。逻辑回归发现，侧位对 FFF 的总失败率没有影响。最初，性别与皮瓣失败有关联，但调整后关联性减弱。部分皮瓣坏死与糖尿病有关，与侧位无关。倾向评分匹配显示，左右腿在侧位或皮瓣总失败风险方面没有明显差异。亚组分析发现，"顺式 "组和 "反式 "组在参数或皮瓣失败率方面没有差异。此外，尽管血管吻合可能会因血管蒂长度或创伤史而受到限制，但受体血管侧的选择显然不会影响皮瓣失败。

Background

Objective assessment of facial movements remains pivotal for diagnosis, treatment, and long-term monitoring of patients with facial palsy (FP). This study aims to utilize curvature analysis in pediatric patients with and without FP to define facial contours and to quantify three-dimensional (3D) excursion during smile.

Methods

Pediatric patients with and without FP had 3D motion capture acquired from rest to maximum smile positions. 3D curvature analysis was performed with a custom MATLAB algorithm. A 40-vertex “smile curve” along the nasolabial fold-cheek-orbit contour was extracted from each patient-specific 3D mesh hemiface. This allowed the quantification of excursion and asymmetry for affected vs. unaffected sides in FP patients, and comparison with controls.

Results

Twelve FP (mean 12.5 yr, range 5–18) and 12 control (mean 12.1 yr, range 5–18) patients were analyzed. Differences in facial contour are intensified during animation, especially in the nasolabial fold, cheek, and periorbital regions of interest and the smile curve that links them. Mean excursion differed significantly between the FP and control groups in all regions of interest (p < 0.0001).

Conclusions

Curvature analysis provides insight into the unexplored relationship of the 3D morphological dynamics of the concavity and convexity of the face, to add to the understanding of this complex condition. The magnitude of asymmetry between an FP patient’s affected vs. unaffected smile curve excursion, and comparison to the control group, could allow surgical treatment to be tailored to an individual patient’s dynamic anatomy by identifying and quantifying facial region-specific asymmetry.

背景：面部运动的客观评估对于面瘫（FP）患者的诊断、治疗和长期监测至关重要。本研究旨在对患有和未患有面瘫的儿科患者进行曲率分析，以确定面部轮廓并量化微笑时的三维（3D）偏移：方法：对患有和未患有 FP 的儿科患者从静止到最大微笑位置进行三维运动捕捉。采用定制的 MATLAB 算法进行三维曲率分析。从每个患者特定的三维网格半面提取了沿鼻唇沟-颊-眶轮廓的 40 个矢量的 "微笑曲线"。这样就可以量化 FP 患者患侧与非患侧的偏移和不对称情况，并与对照组进行比较：分析了 12 名 FP 患者（平均 12.5 岁，5-18 岁不等）和 12 名对照组患者（平均 12.1 岁，5-18 岁不等）。在动画过程中，面部轮廓的差异会加剧，尤其是在鼻唇沟、脸颊和眶周等相关区域以及连接这些区域的微笑曲线上。FP 组和对照组在所有相关区域的平均偏移量都有显著差异（p 结论：FP 组和对照组在所有相关区域的平均偏移量都有显著差异（p）：曲率分析有助于深入了解面部凹凸的三维形态动态关系，从而加深对这一复杂情况的理解。FP 患者受影响与未受影响的微笑曲线偏移之间的不对称程度，以及与对照组的比较，可以通过识别和量化面部特定区域的不对称，使手术治疗符合患者的动态解剖结构。

Introduction

Lipoedema is a congenital fat distribution disorder. It leads to a pathological increase in adipose tissue due to a hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the adipocytes. Currently, the disease affects approximately 10% of women. A common treatment of the disease is liposuction to remove the pathologic fat cells.

Patients and Methods

A total of 47 patients (mean age: 62.00 ± 12.96 years) were treated with the conventional tumescent liposuction and 25 patients (mean age of 45.16 ± 12.87 years) with waterjet-assisted liposuction (WAL), a gentle, tissue-conserving method that washes out fat cells. WAL is thought to cause less damage to surrounding tissue than tumescent liposuction and thus, less trauma.

Results

At the postoperative level, the C-reactive protein was significantly (p* = 0.0195) lower after WAL treatment, implying a lower inflammation level than after tumescent liposuction. Also, a decrease of electrolytes such as potassium in the blood serum was observed in some cases. The postoperative potassium level dropped by 0.30 ± 0.24 mmol/l, a value that was significantly lower in WAL-treated patients where the level dropped by 0.47 ± 0.31 mmol/l. The mean fat aspirate using the conventional tumescent method was 3302.13 ± 1345.89 ml and 3727.08 ± 151.96 ml with the WAL treatment.

Conclusions

WAL is a tissue-conserving method that washes out fat cells with less trauma to surrounding tissue as observed with conventional tumescent liposuction. WAL causes a lower inflammation level but higher loss of potassium ions. This latter aspect needs attention after the liposuction treatment.

Trial registration

Waterjet-assisted liposuction reduces inflammation but increases the risk of hypokalemia when compared to conventional tumescent liposuction in patients with lipoedema, DRKS00034711. Registered July 17, 2024 - Retrospectively registered. Trial registration number DRKS00034711.

简介脂肪性水肿是一种先天性脂肪分布障碍。由于脂肪细胞肥大和增生，导致脂肪组织病理性增加。目前，约有 10% 的女性患有此病。该病的常见治疗方法是通过吸脂术去除病理性脂肪细胞：共有 47 名患者（平均年龄：62.00 ± 12.96 岁）接受了传统的膨胀吸脂术治疗，25 名患者（平均年龄 45.16 ± 12.87 岁）接受了水刀辅助吸脂术（WAL）治疗。与抽脂术相比，水刀辅助抽脂术对周围组织的损伤较小，因此创伤也较小：结果：术后 C 反应蛋白在 WAL 治疗后明显降低（p* = 0.0195），这意味着炎症水平低于抽脂术。此外，在一些病例中还观察到血清中钾等电解质的下降。术后血钾水平下降了 0.30 ± 0.24 mmol/l，而 WAL 治疗患者的血钾水平明显降低了 0.47 ± 0.31 mmol/l。使用传统抽吸法抽吸的脂肪平均为 3302.13 ± 1345.89 毫升，而使用 WAL 治疗抽吸的脂肪平均为 3727.08 ± 151.96 毫升：WAL是一种保护组织的方法，与传统的膨胀吸脂法相比，WAL在洗出脂肪细胞时对周围组织的创伤更小。WAL 造成的炎症水平较低，但钾离子流失较多。吸脂治疗后需要注意后一个方面：水刀辅助吸脂术与传统的抽脂术相比，可减少脂肪性水肿患者的炎症反应，但会增加低钾血症的风险，DRKS00034711。2024年7月17日注册 - 追溯注册。试验注册号 DRKS00034711。

Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) and regenerative peripheral nerve interface (RPNI) have shown promise in improving and/or preventing neuropathic pain and reducing narcotic use in amputees. However, anecdotally, some patients experience an increase in pain in the first few months post-operatively. This study explored the pain trajectory of 22 upper and lower extremity amputees following their TMR and/or RPNI procedure in their first post-operative year, with a focus on the patterns of recovery in the first few months. Our study found an overall decrease in the amount of pain and pain medication use at various time points post-operatively. Of note, several individuals had an increase in pain or required an increase in pain medications in the first three months. Different outcomes for patients who underwent primary versus secondary surgery were seen, which has been observed in other studies. Further prospective studies are warranted to evaluate these trends in pain after TMR or RPNI surgery in individuals with major limb amputations.

靶向肌肉神经再支配（TMR）和再生周围神经接口（RPNI）在改善和/或预防截肢者的神经性疼痛和减少麻醉剂使用方面已显示出前景。然而，据传闻，一些患者在术后头几个月疼痛加剧。本研究探讨了 22 名上肢和下肢截肢者在接受 TMR 和/或 RPNI 术后第一年的疼痛轨迹，重点关注术后最初几个月的恢复模式。我们的研究发现，在术后的不同时间点，疼痛和止痛药物的使用量总体上有所减少。值得注意的是，有几个人在头三个月疼痛加剧或需要增加止痛药物。接受初次手术和二次手术的患者结果不同，这在其他研究中也有观察到。有必要进一步开展前瞻性研究，以评估大肢截肢患者在接受 TMR 或 RPNI 手术后疼痛的趋势。

Background

Traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) is a rare complication of facial trauma that results in vision loss. Clinical diagnosis of TON is based on a history of head trauma and an ophthalmic examination; however, the risk factors for TON and the ideal treatment strategy remain undetermined. This study aimed to identify predictive risk factors for TON and evaluate the effectiveness of current treatments with respect to visual outcomes in patients with TON.

Methods

This study retrospectively enrolled patients with periorbital facial bone fracture between 2008 and 2019. Initial facial bone computed tomography, ophthalmic exam results, initial Glasgow Coma Scale, and Injury Severity Score were recorded. This study classified patients into 4 intervention groups (i.e., medication, surgery, combination therapy, and observation) to compare the outcome of visual acuity.

Results

This study enrolled 1168 patients with facial bone fractures, 93 (7.96%) of whom were diagnosed as having TON. Independent risk factors for TON included optic canal fracture, medial orbital wall fracture, retrobulbar hematoma, and head Abbreviated Injury Scale ≥4. Patients with TON who initially presented with no light perception tended to have poor final visual acuity (VA) outcomes. The results indicated no significant difference in VA improvement among patients receiving observation, megadose corticosteroid therapy, surgical decompression, or combined steroid therapy and decompression.

Conclusion

Clinicians can achieve early prediction of TON in patients with an initial unconscious state and the identified risk factors. The results indicated that the conservative observation yielded noninferior VA outcomes in patients with TON compared with those receiving medication or surgical treatment.

背景：创伤性视神经病变（TON）是一种罕见的面部创伤并发症，可导致视力丧失。TON的临床诊断基于头部外伤史和眼科检查；然而，TON的风险因素和理想的治疗策略仍未确定。本研究旨在确定TON的预测性风险因素，并评估当前治疗方法对TON患者视觉效果的影响：本研究回顾性地纳入了2008年至2019年期间眶周面部骨骼骨折的患者。记录初始面骨计算机断层扫描、眼科检查结果、初始格拉斯哥昏迷量表和损伤严重程度评分。该研究将患者分为4个干预组（即药物治疗组、手术治疗组、综合治疗组和观察组），以比较视力结果：本研究共招募了1168名面部骨折患者，其中93人（7.96%）被诊断为TON。TON的独立风险因素包括视管骨折、内侧眶壁骨折、球后血肿和头部简易损伤量表≥4。最初没有光感的TON患者最终视力（VA）往往较差。结果表明，接受观察、大剂量皮质类固醇治疗、手术减压或类固醇治疗和减压联合治疗的患者在视力改善方面没有明显差异：结论：临床医生可以对最初处于昏迷状态并存在已识别风险因素的患者进行 TON 早期预测。结果表明，与接受药物治疗或手术治疗的患者相比，保守观察对 TON 患者的 VA 效果并不差。

Several factors may influence speech outcome and the rate of secondary palatal surgery in patients with cleft palate. The aim of this study was to evaluate different types of intra-velar veloplasty within an otherwise uniform surgical protocol. The impact of cleft width and the surgeon’s experience on outcome measurements was examined. This cross-sectional study included 62 individuals with unilateral cleft lip and palate born in 2000–2015. Based on the surgical technique used, they were divided into three groups. The cleft width was measured on dental casts. Blinded speech and language pathologists assessed velopharyngeal function with the composite score for velopharyngeal competence (VPC-Sum) for single words. They rated velopharyngeal function on a three-point scale (VPC-R) in sentences. Target consonants in words were phonetically transcribed. The percentage of correct consonants (PCC) was calculated. Surgical technique was not associated with any outcome. Cleft width was associated with the rate of secondary palatal surgery (OR 1.141, 95% CI 1.021–1.275, p = .020) and velopharyngeal insufficiency when using VPC-R (OR 2.700, 95% CI 1.053–6.919, p = .039) but not when using VPC-Sum (OR 1.985, 95% CI.845–4.662, p = .116). PCC was not associated with cleft width and did not differ between surgical techniques. Radical muscle dissection did not exhibit superiority over intra-velar veloplasty reinforced by the palatopharyngeal muscle. Follow-ups at later ages with larger groups will be necessary to evaluate and compare surgical techniques accurately. Cleft width had a greater impact on the rate of secondary surgery and velopharyngeal function than surgical technique, but neither affected the PCC.

有多种因素可能会影响腭裂患者的语言能力和二次腭裂手术率。本研究的目的是评估在统一手术方案下不同类型的腭裂瓣内成形术。研究还探讨了腭裂宽度和外科医生经验对结果测量的影响。这项横断面研究纳入了 2000-2015 年出生的 62 名单侧唇腭裂患者。根据所使用的手术技术，他们被分为三组。根据牙模测量裂隙宽度。盲人语言病理学家通过单词的咽喉能力综合评分（VPC-Sum）评估咽喉功能。他们对句子中的包咽功能进行了三点评分（VPC-R）。对单词中的目标辅音进行语音转录。计算辅音正确率（PCC）。手术技术与任何结果都无关。使用 VPC-R 时，裂隙宽度与二次腭裂手术率（OR 1.141，95% CI 1.021-1.275，p = .020）和包咽功能不全有关（OR 2.700，95% CI 1.053-6.919，p = .039），但使用 VPC-Sum 时则无关（OR 1.985，95% CI.845-4.662，p = .116）。PCC 与裂隙宽度无关，不同手术技术之间也无差异。根治性肌肉切除术并不比通过腭咽肌加固的耳廓内扩张成形术更有优势。为了准确评估和比较手术技术，有必要对更大年龄组的患者进行随访。与手术技术相比，裂隙宽度对二次手术率和括咽功能的影响更大，但两者都不影响PCC。

Background

The timing of intervention to treat lymphedema differs among facilities. Understanding differences in the prevalence and severity of lymphedema following different surgical procedures for lymphadenectomy could promote early intervention to treat lymphedema. There is currently little evidence to support the notion that inguino-pelvic lymphadenectomy is associated with greater morbidity than inguinal lymphadenectomy, although it is believed that the difference in the extent of surgery results in a difference in the severity of lymphedema. In this study, we compared volume percentage change between inguinal lymphadenectomy and inguino-pelvic lymphadenectomy in patients with skin cancer of the lower extremity.

Patients and methods

A total of 29 patients with skin cancer of a lower extremity who underwent lymphadenectomy were classified into an inguinal lymphadenectomy group and an inguino-pelvic lymphadenectomy group. The increase in the volume of the affected side compared with that of the unaffected side in the whole lower extremity, thigh, and lower leg was calculated on volume-rendered computed tomography images.

Results

The mean volume percentage increase in the inguinal lymphadenectomy group and the inguino-pelvic lymphadenectomy group was, respectively, 6.72% and 11.18% in the whole lower extremity and 7.30% and 2.55% in the lower leg, showing no statistically significant differences. In contrast, the mean volume percentage increase in the respective groups was 7.03% and 19.78% in the thigh, showing a statistically significant difference (p = 0.0275 < 0.05).

Conclusions

The findings of this study indicate that the leg volume of the whole lower extremity may not have worse outcomes in inguino-pelvic lymphadenectomy compared with inguinal lymphadenectomy.

背景：不同机构治疗淋巴水肿的干预时机各不相同。了解不同淋巴结切除手术后淋巴水肿发生率和严重程度的差异，可促进早期干预治疗淋巴水肿。目前几乎没有证据支持腹股沟盆腔淋巴结切除术的发病率高于腹股沟淋巴结切除术的观点，尽管人们认为手术范围的不同会导致淋巴水肿严重程度的不同。在这项研究中，我们比较了下肢皮肤癌患者腹股沟淋巴结切除术和腹股沟盆腔淋巴结切除术的体积百分比变化：共29名接受淋巴结切除术的下肢皮肤癌患者被分为腹股沟淋巴结切除术组和腹股沟-骨盆淋巴结切除术组。通过容积渲染计算机断层扫描图像计算整个下肢、大腿和小腿受累侧与未受累侧相比的容积增加情况：结果：腹股沟淋巴结切除术组和腹股沟盆腔淋巴结切除术组整个下肢的平均体积增加百分比分别为 6.72% 和 11.18%，小腿的平均体积增加百分比分别为 7.30% 和 2.55%，差异无统计学意义。相比之下，两组患者大腿的平均体积百分比增幅分别为 7.03% 和 19.78%，差异有统计学意义（p = 0.0275 < 0.05）：本研究结果表明，与腹股沟淋巴结切除术相比，整个下肢的腿部体积可能不会带来更差的结果。
