Data from the 1999-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) concerning waist circumference, weight, pain status and covariates (age, gender, race, marital status, education level and income, physical activity, alcohol consumption, smoking status, and diabetes) were extracted for analysis. Multinomial Logistic regression was conducted across the three models to investigate the associations between WWI and acute, subacute and chronic pain. Model 1 did not involve any adjustments. Model 2 involved adjustments for age, gender, race, marital status, education level, and income. Model 3 was further adjusted for physical activity, alcohol consumption, smoking, and diabetes status.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;This study involved 12 694 participants with an average age of (50.6±18.7) years. Among all the participants, 9 614 people (75.74%) had no pain, 870 people (6.85%) experienced acute pain, 354 people (2.79%) suffered from subacute pain, and 1 856 people (14.62%) experienced chronic pain. The WWI of all the participants was (10.95±0.85) cm/$sqrt{mathrm{kg}}$, divided into four groups based on quartiles: Group Q1 (7.90-10.36) cm/$sqrt{mathrm{kg}}$, group Q2 (10.37-10.94) cm/$sqrt{mathrm{kg}}$, group Q3 (10.95-11.53) cm/$sqrt{mathrm{kg}}$ and group Q4 (11.54-15.20) cm/$sqrt{mathrm{kg}}$. With the increase of WWI, the analysis revealed a significant statistical difference in the participants' acute and chronic pain status (all &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt; &lt; 0.001). In Model 1, the prevalence of acute pain was lower in group Q2 and group Q4 compared with group Q1 (group Q2: &lt;i&gt;OR&lt;/i&gt;=0.765, 95%&lt;i&gt;CI&lt;/i&gt;: 0.615-0.953, &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;=0.017; group Q4: &lt;i&gt;OR&lt;/i&gt;= 0.648, 95%&lt;i&gt;CI&lt;/i&gt;: 0.503-0.835, &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt; &lt; 0.001).

In Model 2, compared with group Q1, an increase in chronic pain prevalence was still associated with an increase in WWI in other three groups (group Q2: &lt;i&gt;OR&lt;/i&gt;=1.359, 95%&lt;i&gt;CI&lt;/i&gt;: 1.137-1.624, &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;=0.001; group Q3: &lt;i&gt;OR&lt;/i&gt;=1.260, 95%&lt;i&gt;CI:&lt;/i&gt; 1.039-1.528, &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;=0.019; group Q4: &lt;i&gt;OR&lt;/i&gt;=1.735, 95%&lt;i&gt;CI&lt;/i&gt;: 1.413-2.132, &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt; &lt; 0.001).

The main features that were related to the expert' s similarity scoring included distance of anterior nasal spine-menton (ANS-Me), distance of right upper canion point-Frankfurt horizontal plane (U3RH), distance of left superior point of the condyle-left gonion (CoL-GoL), distance of left gonion-menton (CoL-Me), distance of pogonion-midsagittal plane (Pog-MSP), distance of right alar base-left alar base (AlR-AlL), angle of pronasale-soft tissue pogonion-labrale inferius (Pn-Pog' -Li), distance of trichion-right tragus (Tri-TraR), distance of left exocanthion-left alar base (ExL-AlL), lower 1/3 of skeletal face, middle and lower 2/3 of skeletal face and upper lip region of soft tissue. Fourteen new patients were chosen to evaluate the model. The similar cases selected by the model had an average experts' similarity scoring of 7.627± 0.711, which was not significantly different with 7.5.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The similarity measurement model established by this model could find the similar cases which highly matched experts' subjective similarity scoring. The study could be further used for similar cases retrieval in skeletal Ⅲ malocclusion patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":8790,"journal":{"name":"北京大学学报（医学版）","volume":"57 1","pages":"128-135"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11759787/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143036324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The overall design of the expander is a round shape, consisting of two equally divided semi-circular chambers. The two expansion chambers are connected by a silicone pad below and are respectively connected to their own water injection tubes. Both chambers are designed to expand unidirectionally towards the surface. The expansion principle, insertion process, and type of expander selection were investigated. The expansion effect and incidence of complications were summarized. The aesthetic effect of reconstructed breasts was evaluated from three aspects after stage Ⅱ surgery: the position of infra mammary fold, the breast protrusion, and the breast volume.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Among sixteen patients in this study, three patients were selected with the type of 400 mL expander and thirteen patients were given the type of 600 mL expander. The median time of tissue expansion was 4.0 (2.0, 5.0) months, with an average volume of expansion of (538.8±111.7) mL. The average expansion ratio of upper/lower chamber was 45.4%±8.4%. The position of the infra mammary fold needed not to be adjusted during the prosthesis exchange process. All the patients were applied anatomical prostheses, and the median volume of the prosthesis was 395 (345, 410) mL. One patient developed seroma during expansion period, who got improved after local aspiration. The average follow-up time was (9.0±3.6) months. 81.3% (13/16) of the patients achieved an aesthetic evaluation of \"Good\" in breast reconstruction, and 75.0% (12/16) of the patients got a grade Ⅰ or grade Ⅱ capsule contracture of the prosthesis.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The application of dual chamber round tissue expander could effectively dilate the lower pole of the breast, personalize the expansion ratio of the upper and lower poles of the breast, and avoid the displacement of the expander during the expansion period.

The preoperative biopsy pathology of all the patients confirmed a benign tumor. In this technique, iliac bone flaps were used for mandibular reconstruction, and immediate implant-based dentures were placed during the same surgical session.

The accuracy of preoperative virtual surgical planning (VSP) was highly reliable. The repeatability of the VSP model compared to the postoperative reconstructed mandible was as follows: 67.82% ±10.16% within 1 mm, 82.14% ±6.58% within 2 mm, and 90.61% ±4.62% within 3 mm.
