Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate a chimeric flap comprising a nasolabial flap and a buccal artery myomucosal flap used to reconstruct a large defect of the lower lip.
Materials And Methods: From November 2019 to August 2022, seven patients with lower lip carcinoma underwent radical resection and reconstruction. A chimeric flap comprising a nasolabial flap and a buccal artery myomucosal flap was used to reconstruct the large defect of the lower lip. Postoperative observations included flap healing, mouth opening, and lip competence.
Results: Seven patients with lower lip carcinomas underwent radical resection and reconstruction. The flap survived without complications in 6 patients; 1 patient showed marginal necrosis of the skin paddle. The reconstructed lower lip had an adequate lip length and height, and its appearance was acceptable. The mouth opening ranged from 2.5 cm to 3.5 cm. All patients were able to intake oral diet in a public setting.
Conclusions: The chimeric flap, comprising a nasolabial flap and a buccal artery myomucosal flap, offers a method for reconstructing near-total and total defects of the lower lip.

Introduction: Self-protection, also called protective anger or assertive anger, is a key factor in mental health. Thus, far, researchers have focused mainly on the qualitative analysis of self-protection.
Methods: Therefore, we investigated facial action units, emotions, and vocal cues in low and high self-protective groups of participants in order to detect any differences.
Riga-Fede disease (RFD) is a rare, benign condition marked by traumatic ulceration on the tongue's ventral side in infants. It arises from friction between the tongue and lower incisors during sucking, potentially worsening into a keratinized lesion if the cause is not addressed. This report details the case of a 1-year-6-month-old male with hydrocephalus, cleft palate, corpus callosum dysgenesis, neuropsychomotor developmental delay, and tracheostomy and gastrostomy needs.

Patients with Turner Syndrome (TS) and those exposed to high concentrations of glucocorticoids have a number of characteristics in common, including an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Pediatric TS patients underwent studies of salivary cortisol (SC) and cortisone (SCn), body composition, continuous glucose monitoring, vascular function, and ambulatory blood pressure (BP). Biochemical indicators of cardiovascular risk were also measured.

Background: This work intended to assess the disinfection efficacy of hypochlorous acid (HA) and silver nanoparticles (AgNP) disinfectants in disinfecting the dental unit waterlines (DUWL) during comprehensive oral treatment and explore their potential applications in the oral medical environment.
Methods: Firstly, AgNP solution was prepared and evaluated through X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission transmission electron microscope (FE-TEM), and stability tests. Subsequently, 15 dental units were selected and randomly assigned to three groups, each receiving a different disinfection method.
Van der Woude syndrome (VWS) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by lower lip pits and orofacial clefts (OFCs). With a prevalence of approximately 1 in 35,000 live births, it is the most common form of syndromic clefting and may account for ~2% of all OFCs. The majority of VWS is attributed to genetic variants in IRF6 (~70%) or GRHL3 (~5%), leaving up to 25% of individuals with VWS without a molecular diagnosis.
