Variation trends of the postoperative outcomes for unilateral cleft lip patients by modified Mohler and Tennison-Randall cheiloplasties.

Purpose: To evaluate postoperative variation trends of unilateral cleft lip by stages, and to analyze influential factors of nasolabial symmetry.

Materials And Methods: A total of 145 patients with unilateral cleft lip were treated by the modified Mohler or Tennison-Randall technique, and received routine anti-scarring treatment postoperatively. Photogrammetry was applied to respectively measure 5 indices by stages preoperatively, the first week (1 w), the third month (3 m), the sixth month (6 m), and the first year (1 y) postoperatively.

A modified Mohler technique for patients with unilateral cleft lip based on geometric principles--A primary report.

Objective: The Mohler technique is one of the most popular methods to repair unilateral cleft lip (UCL) among the modified Millard methods, but it is still imperfect. We successfully designed a modified Mohler method based on geometric principles and observed its clinical effect.

Materials And Methods: Photogrammetry was performed in 56 patients who underwent UCL repair with the new technique.

[Effective evaluation of presurgical nasoalveolar molding devices in the treatment of complete unilateral cleft lip and palate patients].

Objective: To evaluate the orthopedic effect of presurgical nasoalveolar molding (PNAM) devices on the palatal deformities in unilateral complete cleft lip and palate (UCCLP) patients.

Methods: Three groups with 19 patients each were studied. All samples in groups A and B were non-syndromic UCCLP children.

Clinical investigation for bilateral cleft lip repair: modified functional bilateral cleft lip cheilorrhaphy.

Purpose: To obtain better operative results, a modified functional bilateral cleft lip (BCL) cheilorrhaphy was designed and used on 131 BCL patients to evaluate the clinical effectiveness in this clinical investigation. A new surgical method would be provided for BCL patients.

Patients And Methods: Based on the experiences and advantages of the commonly used self-longation and elongation surgical methods for BCL repair, a new surgical method was designed for BCL patients.

[HBsAg uptake into human trophoblasts cultured in vitro].

Objective: To detect the entry of HBsAg into human trophoblasts cultured in vitro, to provide some clues for the mechanism responsible for HBV intrauterine transmission.

Methods: Digestion with both trypsin (0.25%) and Dnase I(0.
