The purpose of this study was to compare the impact of modified heart preservation techniques with conventional heart preservation techniques on heart transplant recipients. The goal was to determine if these modified preservation techniques could extend the preservation of the donor heart without increasing the risk of recipient mortality. A retrospective analysis was carried out on 763 cases of orthotopic heart transplantation performed at Wuhan Union Hospital and Nanjing First Hospital, from September 2008 to October 2022.

Exploring the application of minimally invasive techniques in the extraction of impacted mandibular third molar (IMTM), to achieve the treatment goal of "less trauma, short time, fast recovery", remains the focus of dentists. For now, the IMTM are mostly extracted in pieces after removing the crown and root resistance by bone removal and tooth segmentation, using 45°reverse-angle high speed turbine, piezosurgery, chisel or other dynamic system. However, There is a lack of principle-level parsing in different provinces and primary hospitals, while experience is still the main factor in avoiding excessive bone removal in complex IMTM extraction, as well as optimizing the specific position and angle of the parting teeth, finding the fulcrum and designing the best dislocation path when there is root resistance.
