Abstract
OBJECTIVE:This study was conducted to assess the clinical usability of the zero-echo time (ZTE) technique of MRI for evaluating bone changes of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in comparison with CBCT. METHODS:Twenty patients with TMJ disorder who underwent both CBCT and MRI were randomly selected. CBCT images were obtained with an Alphard 3030 device (Asahi Roentgen Ind., Co. Ltd, Kyoto, Japan). MRIs were obtained using a 3.0 T scanner (Pioneer; GE Healthcare, Waukesha, WI, USA) and a 21-channel head coil. An isotropic three-dimensional proton-density-weighted ZTE sequence was acquired. Two radiologists evaluated 40 joints of 20 patients for the presence of the following osseous changes: flattening, erosion, osteophyte and sclerosis of the condyle; and flattening, erosion and sclerosis of the articular fossa. CBCT and ZTE-MRI assessments were performed at a 2-month interval. The prevalence-adjusted and bias-adjusted κ statistic was used to analyse interexaminer and intraexaminer agreement and the agreement between ZTE-MRI and CBCT. RESULTS:Intraexaminer and interexaminer agreement analyses of ZTE-MRI showed high reproducibility (κ>0.80), which was comparable to that of CBCT. Flattening, osteophyte and sclerosis of the condyle and all types of bone changes in the mandibular fossa showed nearly perfect agreement between CBCT and ZTE-MRI (κ = 0.80-0.90). Erosion of the condyle showed substantial agreement between both sets of images (κ = 0.65-0.70). CONCLUSIONS:It is suggested that ZTE-MRI provides clinically reliable images for bone assessment in TMJ disorder. MRI may become a beneficial diagnostic tool for patients with both TMJ disc and bone pathology, with advantages involving medical costs and radiation dose.
摘要
目的: 与CBCT比较,评价MRI零回波时间 (ZTE) 技术评价颞下颌关节 (TMJ) 骨性改变的临床适用性。 方法: 随机选择 20 例同时行CBCT和MRI检查的颞下颌关节紊乱病患者。CBCT图像用Alphard 3030 装置 (Asahi Roentgen ind.,有限公司,京都,日本)。使用 3.0 t扫描仪 (Pioneer; GE Healthcare,Waukesha,WI,USA) 和 21 通道头部线圈获得MRIs。获得了各向同性的三维质子密度加权中兴序列。两名放射科医生评估了 20 例患者的 40 个关节是否存在以下骨性变化: 髁突变平、侵蚀、骨赘和硬化; 关节窝变平、侵蚀和硬化。间隔 2 个月进行CBCT和ZTE-MRI评估。采用患病率调整和偏倚调整的 κ 统计量分析检查者和检查者之间的一致性以及ZTE-MRI与CBCT之间的一致性。 结果: ZTE-MRI的内检和间检一致性分析显示重复性高 (κ>0.80),与CBCT相当。髁突变平、骨赘和硬化以及下颌窝内所有类型的骨改变显示CBCT和ZTE-MRI之间几乎完全一致 (κ = 0.80-0.90)。髁突的侵蚀显示两组图像之间有实质性的一致性 (κ = 0.65-0.70)。 结论: ZTE-MRI为颞下颌关节疾病的骨评估提供了临床可靠的图像。MRI可能成为同时具有TMJ椎间盘和骨骼病理的患者的有益诊断工具,其优势涉及医疗成本和辐射剂量。

METHODS:BACKGROUND:The anterior oronasal fistulae neighboring the alveolar cleft could persist or reappear after the alveolar reconstruction with cancellous bone grafting. The persistent symptomatic anterior oronasal fistulae need to be repaired, but surgery remains a challenge in cleft care. Surprisingly, this issue has rarely been reported in the literature. The purpose of this long-term study was to report a single surgeon experience with a therapeutic protocol for persistent symptomatic anterior oronasal fistula repair. METHODS:This is a retrospective study of consecutive patients with Veau type III and IV clefts and persistent symptomatic anterior oronasal fistulae managed according to a therapeutic protocol from 1997 to 2018. Depending on fistula size, patients were treated with local flaps associated with an interpositional graft or two-stage tongue flaps (small/medium or large fistulae, respectively). The surgical outcomes were classified as "good" (complete fistula closure with no symptoms), "fair" (asymptomatic narrow fistula remained), or "poor" (failure with persistent symptoms). RESULTS:Forty-four patients with persistent symptomatic anterior oronasal fistulae were reconstructed with local flaps associated with interpositional fascia or dermal fat grafting (52.3%) or two-stage tongue flaps (47.7%). Most of patients (93.2%) presented "good" outcomes, ranging from 87% to 100% (local and tongue flaps, respectively). Three (6.8%) patients presented symptomatic residual fistula ("poor" outcomes). CONCLUSIONS:For the repair of persistent symptomatic anterior oronasal fistulae, this therapeutic protocol provided satisfactory outcome with low fistula recurrence rate.
METHODS:OBJECTIVE:Methadone is a vital treatment for women with opioid use disorder in pregnancy. Previous reports suggested an association between methadone exposure and Pierre Robin sequence (PRS), a rare craniofacial anomaly. We assessed the association between gestational methadone exposure and PRS. DESIGN/SETTING:This case-malformed control study used European Surveillance of Congenital Anomalies population-based registries in Ireland, the Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland, Croatia, Malta, Portugal, Germany, Wales, Norway and Spain, 1995-2011. PATIENTS:Cases included PRS based on International Classification of Disease (ICD), Ninth Edition-British Paediatric Association (BPA) code 75 603 or ICD, Tenth Edition-BPA code Q8708. Malformed controls were all non-PRS anomalies, excluding genetic conditions, among live births, fetal deaths from 20 weeks' gestation and terminations of pregnancy for fetal anomalies. An exploratory analysis assessed the association between methadone exposure and other congenital anomalies (CAs) excluding PRS. Methadone exposure was ascertained from medical records and maternal interview. RESULTS:Among 87 979 CA registrations, there were 127 methadone-exposed pregnancies and 336 PRS cases. There was an association between methadone exposure and PRS (OR adjusted for registry 12.3, 95% CI 5.7 to 26.8). In absolute terms, this association reflects a risk increase from approximately 1-12 cases per 10 000 births. A raised OR was found for cleft palate (adjusted OR 5.0, 95% CI 2.7 to 9.2). CONCLUSIONS:These findings suggest that gestational methadone exposure is associated with PRS. The association may be explained by unmeasured confounding factors. The small increased risk of PRS in itself does not alter the risk-benefit balance for gestational methadone use. The association with cleft palate, a more common CA, should be assessed with independent data.
METHODS::Orthopedic treatment to improve deficient maxillary growth of cleft lip and palate patients is an important part of treatment. The success of this treatment is strongly dependent on the time of initiation of therapy. There has been a large controversy in the available literature regarding the skeletal age of these patients. The aim of the present study was to compare the skeletal age of cleft lip and palate patients with normal individuals.37 unilateral and 14 bilateral cleft lip and palate patients and 47 healthy individuals participated in this cross-sectional study. The patients were classified into 8 to 10 and 11 to 14-year-old individuals. Cervical vertebral maturational stage of participants was evaluated in the lateral cephalometry. The skeletal age of cleft lip and palate patients was compared with normal controls. Chi-square was used for statistical analysis. There was not a significant difference in the skeletal developmental stage of unilateral and bilateral cleft compared to their normal peers according to their age and sex. Also, significant difference in skeletal maturational stage of cleft lip and palate patients was not found between boys and girls (P = 0.8). Similarly, no significant difference was found in the skeletal age of the 3 studied groups without considering the age and sex of participants (P = 0.5). Regarding the similar skeletal maturational stage of cleft lip and palate patients with normal controls in our study, their maxillofacial orthopedic treatment can be initiated at similar time to normal peers.
