Objectives: To investigate postoperative complications in patients who underwent alveolar bone graft surgery using mandibular cortical bone (MCB) with/without particulate artificial bone (PAB).
Design: Retrospective study.
Setting: Department of Oral and Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery in the hospital from August 2020 to August 2023.
Patients: Patients who underwent alveolar bone graft using MCB were reviewed. They were diagnosed with unilateral or bilateral alveolar cleft, and some of them developed postoperative complications after MCB with/without PAB repair surgery.
Interventions: No interventions.
Main Outcome Measure(s): Complications.
Results: Complications occurred in 12 of 149 patients who underwent surgery (8.05%). Among these evaluated patients, 10 had surgical site infection, 8 had mucosal dehiscence, 2 had discharge of resorbable plate debris, and 6 had grafted bone necrosis. Patients with bilateral alveolar clefts were more likely to experience complications (P = 0.033).
Conclusion: MCB with/without PAB grafting is effective enough for patients to undergo reconstruction of the alveolar process.

Novel Reconstruction Method Using the Double-Arm Vascularized Fibula Flap and TriLock Bridging Plate System for Segmental Mandibulectomy Including the Anterior Border of the Mandibular Ramus.

This study aimed to develop a novel reconstruction method for segmental mandibulectomy. In the authors' opinion, reconstruction of the anterior border of the mandibular ramus using a double-arm vascularized fibular flap is important to prevent deformity due to buccal depression and the accumulation of food debris, thereby eliminating masticatory dead space that cannot be filled with prostheses such as implants or dentures. Using conventional reconstruction plates, the reconstructed bone positioned at the anterior border of the mandibular ramus required either fixing with only 1 screw or using 2 plates for stable fixation, making it difficult to position the plates stably.

This study analyzes the risk factors related to the complications of anterior thoracolumbar tuberculosis in adults and to provide clinical reference. A total of 98 adult patients with thoracolumbar tuberculosis undergoing anterior surgery in our hospital from February 2020 to December 2023 were selected, and the clinical data and postoperative complications were collected. The clinical characteristics were analyzed, and the risk factors related to surgical complications were analyzed by univariate analysis and multi-factor logistic regression model.

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by reduced platelet levels and heightened susceptibility to bleeding resulting from augmented autologous platelet destruction and diminished thrombopoiesis. Although antibody-mediated autoimmune reactions are widely recognized as primary factors, the precise etiological agents that trigger ITP remain unidentified. The pathogenesis of ITP remains unclear owing to the absence of comprehensive high-throughput data, except for the belated emergence of autoreactive antibodies.

Background: Long-term renal allograft acceptance has been achieved in macaques using a transient mixed hematopoetic chimerism protocol, but similar regimens have proven unsuccessful in heart allograft recipients unless a kidney transplant was performed simultaneously. Here, we test whether a modified protocol based on targeting CD154, CD2, and CD28 is sufficient to prolong heart allograft acceptance or promote the expansion of regulatory T cells.
Methods: Eight macaques underwent heterotopic allo-heart transplantation from major histocompatibility complex-mismatched donors.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is one of the most important methods for treating a wide range of hematologic malignancies and bone marrow failure diseases. However, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a major complication associated with this method, can seriously affect the survival and quality of life of patients. Acute GVHD (aGVHD) occurs within 100 days after transplantation, and gastrointestinal aGVHD (GI-aGVHD) is one of the leading causes of nonrecurrent death after allo-HSCT.
