AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
A total of 76 shunt-treated hydrocephalic children were examined at least once between two and 12-years after surgery to determine what skull changes had occurred and to assess the children's intellectual status. The high incidence of skull changes in shunt-treated, non-tumoral, hydrocephalic children was confirmed. A strict relationship existed between skull changes and low intracranial pressure. The results indicate that impairment of mental development parallels the degree of skull changes, suggesting a close relationship between impaired mental development and cerebrospinal fluid hypotension.

Eye Movements and the Intraorbital Subarachnoid Space: Potential Contribution of Altered Cerebrospinal Fluid Pumping in Optic Neuropathies.
Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, University of California, Los Angeles, California, United States.
Purpose: The optic nerve (ON) is mechanically perturbed by eye movements that shift cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within its surrounding dural sheath. This study compared changes in ON length and CSF volume within the intraorbital ON sheath caused by eye movements in healthy subjects and patients with optic neuropathies.
Methods: Twenty-one healthy controls were compared with 11 patients having primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) at normal intraocular pressure (IOP), and 11 with chronic non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NA-AION).
Tensile force promotes osteogenic differentiation via ephrinB2-EphB4 signaling pathway in orthodontic tooth movement.
BMC Oral Health
January 2025
Department of Orthodontics, Stomatology School of Jilin University, No. 1500 Qinghua Road, ChaoYang Area, Changchun City, Jilin Province, P.R. China.
Objective: To investigating whether osteogenic differentiation of osteoblasts promoted by tension force (TF) is mediated by ephrinB2-EphB4 signaling.
Methods: TF was applied to MC3T3-E1 cells, then CCK-8 and live/dead staining were used to detect cell proliferation. Levels of osteogenic differentiation-related factors were detected by ALP staining, ARS staining, qPCR and western blot.
Upper airway changes after orthognathic surgery in patients with skeletal class III high-angle malocclusion and mandibular deviation.
Clin Oral Investig
January 2025
College of Stomatology, Dalian University, Dalian, Liaoning, 116622, China.
Objectives: This study analyzed the differences in the upper airway of patients with skeletal Class III high-angle malocclusion with and without mandibular deviation, and further investigated whether there are differences in the changes in upper airway space after orthognathic surgery between the two groups.
Materials And Methods: 15 patients with skeletal Class III high-angle malocclusion and mandibular deviation, and 15 patients without mandibular deviation were selected to explore the impact of mandibular deviation on the upper airway. Additionally, 16 patients with mandibular deviation undergoing orthodontic-orthognathic combined treatment, and 13 patients without mandibular deviation, were selected to investigate the differences in the changes in upper airway space after orthognathic surgery between the two groups.
Non-static Stafne bone cavity: a case report.
Hua Xi Kou Qiang Yi Xue Za Zhi
February 2025
Dept. of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Affiliated Stomatological Hospital of Nanchang University, Jiangxi Provincial Key Laboratory of Oral Diseases, Jiangxi Provincial Clinical Research Center for Oral Diseases, Nanchang 330006, China.
Stafne bone cavity, also known as static bone cavity, is a rare bony defect on the lingual side of the mandible. It rarely shows progressive changes, and requires only follow-up bservation. This article described a case of progressive enlargement of a Stafne bone cavity and analyzed the causes of its progress by reviewing relevant literature.
