AI Article Synopsis
- This study explored how much and in what way patients with cleft lip and palate experience relapse after undergoing 2-jaw surgery, focusing on sagittal and vertical changes.
- It analyzed 21 adult patients, splitting them into high and low relapse groups based on a specific criterion, using cephalometric measurements before and after surgery for statistical evaluations.
- Findings indicated that patients in the high relapse group showed more significant changes in jaw position post-surgery, suggesting that careful surgical techniques may help prevent excessive relapse and improve stability.
Article Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the amount and pattern of postsurgical relapse after 2-jaw surgery in cleft lip and palate patients in terms of the sagittal and vertical aspects. The samples consisted of 21 adult patients who had the similar initial skeletodental pattern before surgery and underwent 2-jaw surgery. They were divided into high relapse (n = 11) and low relapse groups (n = 10) (criteria, 30% forward relapse of the B point). After the cephalometric variables of cephalograms taken at 1 month before surgery (T0), immediately after surgery (T1), and at least 1 year after surgery (T2) were measured, the Wilcoxon test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Pearson correlation test were performed for statistical analysis. When compared with the low relapse group, the high relapse group exhibited significant counterclockwise rotation of the distal segment of the mandible resulting in more forward movement of the mandible and significant labioversion of the maxillary incisors during T1-T2. The amount of postsurgical relapse of the mandible had a positive relationship with the amounts of setback and clockwise rotation of the mandible with surgery. In addition, the more decrease in overbite through surgery occurred, the more relapse (forward movement of the mandible) produced. Therefore, for the prevention of significant postsurgical relapse of the mandible in cleft patients, it is necessary to reduce unnecessary clockwise rotation of the mandible and to increase the vertical stability of maxilla during orthognathic surgery.

BACKGROUND Endometriosis is a condition where uterine lining tissue grows outside the uterine cavity, commonly on the ovaries and pelvic peritoneum, but can also occur in rare locations such as the cervix, lungs or pleura. Cervical endometriosis is typically diagnosed retrospectively through post-surgical pathology as it was in this case. This article presents a case of cervical endometriosis with recurrent vaginal bleeding, reviews recent literature to aid in clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Background: In triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients receiving adjuvant capecitabine, the impact of HER2 expression on survival outcomes is unclear.
Methods: Between June 2017 and December 2023, 112 patients with TNBC who received adjuvant capecitabine due to residual masses after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in three hospitals were identified. HER2 is analyzed through immunohistochemistry (IHC) and/or in situ hybridization in the core biopsy and/or post-surgical histopathologies.

Despite advancements in cancer treatments, therapies frequently exhibit high cytotoxicity, and surgery remains the predominant method for treating most solid tumors, often with limited success in preventing post-surgical recurrence. Implantable biomaterials, designed to release drugs at a localised site in response to specific stimuli, represent a promising approach for enhancing tumour therapy. In this study, a redox-responsive glutathione extended polyurethane urea (PolyCEGS) was used to produce paclitaxel (PTX) and gold nanorods (AuNRs) loaded electrospun membranes for combined redox/near-infrared (NIR) light-responsive release chemotherapy and hyperthermic effect.
