Background: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of the superficial circumflex iliac perforator flap (SCIP) for maxillary reconstruction with intraoral anastomosis, pedicle elongation, and super-microsurgery techniques to overcome its anatomical shortcomings due to the attractive merits of the flap.
Methods: Patients who underwent reconstruction of maxillary defects with SCIPs from July 2020 to December 2022 were included. Intraoral anastomosis, pedicle elongation, and super-microsurgery were performed during surgery with or without a neck incision.

This study systematically combed the existing evidence of Houyanqing Oral Liquid in the treatment of acute pharyngitis from the "6+1" dimensions of safety, effectiveness, economy, innovation, suitability, accessibility, and characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) and carried out qualitative and quantitative analysis of the data from each dimension. The multi-criteria decision analysis(MCDA) model and CSC v2.0 were used to evaluate the clinical value of this drug, so as to provide evidence for the selection of essential drugs in the department of otolaryngology and for medical and health decision-making.

Background: Desmoid tumor (DT) is rare and challenging, often affects the head and neck (HN) region in children, and its appropriate treatments are under-discussed. This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the long-term effectiveness and safety of I seed brachytherapy for pediatric DT in HN.
Procedure: Seven pediatric patients with a median age of three years who suffered from DT in HN treated with I brachytherapy from January 2008 to June 2018 were included.
Background And Purpose: To determine the neck management of tongue cancer, this study attempted to construct an artificial neural network (ANN)-assisted model based on computed tomography (CT) radiomics of primary tumors to predict neck lymph node (LN) status in patients with tongue squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
Materials And Methods: Three hundred thirteen patients with tongue SCC were retrospectively included and randomly divided into training (60%), validation (20%) and internally independent test (20%) sets. In total, 1673 feature values were extracted after the semiautomatic segmentation of primary tumors and set as input layers of a classical 3-layer ANN incorporated with or without clinical LN (cN) status after dimension reduction.

Terahertz spectrum is sensitive to the change of the nonlocal molecular vibration mode. Accordingly, the spectral waveform is susceptible to variety of physical and chemical factors, which will lead to peak changes, frequency shifts, and even deformation of the overall waveform. Component analysis and material identification from the correspondence between the fixed peak features and materials will prone to cause errors or mistakes.

Geostatistics combined with geographical information system (GIS) was applied to analyze the spatial variability of soil total K and available N in urban area of Shenyang City. The results showed that the theoretical semivariogram models of soil total K was best described by an exponential model, while soil available N was best fitted by a Gaussian model. The ratios of nugget to sill of soil total K and available N were 10.
