Study Design: Biomechanical in vitro study. Mandibular advancement after sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) is a common procedure in orthognathic surgery. Several fixation methods are used for stabilization of SSRO. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare a new fixation method (gridplate) with more contemporary applied methods of fixation. Material and Methods: In this study, 50 polyurethane hemimandibles with a prefabricated SSRO were used as specimens. All hemimandibles were advanced by 8 mm and divided into 5 groups with different fixation methods: (A) one 4-hole miniplate with 4 monocortical screws; (B) two 4-hole miniplates with 8 monocortical screws; (C) one 4-hole miniplate with 4 monocortical screws and 1 bicortical screw in the retromolar area (hybrid method); (D) 3 bicortical screws in an inverted-L pattern; and (E) one 8-hole gridplate with 8 monocortical screws. Loads in newtons were recorded at displacements of the mandibular incisive edge at 1 mm, 3 mm and 5 mm. Results: Fixation with 3 bicortical screws and the gridplate presented the most stability, followed by two 4-hole miniplates. Fixation with the hybrid method or the single miniplate showed the least stability. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, the 8-hole gridplate design appears a sufficient fixation method regarding stabilization of SSRO with larger mandibular advancement.

Abstract Objectives Immunohistochemistry especially for biomarkers such as PD-L1 in personalized medicine is increasingly being performed on cell blocks from cytopathology samples. We evaluated the effects of staining cell blocks (CBs) from different cytologic fixatives using four different commercially available PD-L1 antibody clones. Methods PD-L1 immunohistochemistry (IHC) using four different commercially available clones was performed on eight cell blocks processed from two different fixatives and also on eight formalin-fixed tissues. The clones used were 22C3 at 1:50 dilution and 1:100 dilution, SP263, SP142, and E1L3N. The cell block (CB) samples contained cells that strongly express PD-L1 and either fixed in CytoLyt (methanol-based fixative, n = 4) or CytoRich (ethanol-formalin-based fixative, n = 4). Formalin-fixed control tissues (tonsillar tissue, n = 4; stomach, n = 4) were also included. Results Expression for PD-L1 was noted on all the CytoRich fixed cell blocks (n = 4) for all four antibody clones, with the intensity and distribution of expression comparable to the formalin fixed tissues (n = 8). However, consistent absence of expression for PD-L1 was noted on all the CytoLyt fixed cell blocks (n = 4) for all four antibody clones. Conclusion The results of this pilot study demonstrate that PD-L1 IHC on cell blocks is feasible. However, there is a need to validate IHC protocols according to specific fixation methods.

Abstract Background The present study aimed to compare three fixation methods for orotracheal intubation. Methods Through literature retrieval, the effects of the adhesive/twill tape method, fixator method, and adhesive/twill tape–fixator alternation method on patients with tracheal intubation in the intensive care unit (ICU) were compared. Results The fixator and alternation methods were more effective in protecting the tongue mucosa and teeth. The alternation method was superior to the other two methods in maintaining the position of the endotracheal intubation. However, the difference in facial and lip injuries between the three methods was not statistically significant. Conclusion The fixator method can significantly reduce intraoral injury and is more suitable for older people with weak tongue mucosa and loose teeth. These are worth popularizing among a wider group.

Biceps tenodesis was performed using an arthroscopic-assisted technique on six dogs diagnosed with chronic bicipital tendon pathology. The technique was performed using two different fixation methods (i.e., cannulated interference screw, cannulated screw and tissue washer). All six dogs had successful outcomes in terms of return to full function at a mean follow-up time of 11.7 months after surgery. Arthroscopic biceps tenodesis is a feasible option for surgical management of biceps tendon pathology, and it may have advantages over open tenodesis and open or arthroscopic tenotomy. Further study is needed before definitive recommendations regarding indications, complications, and prognosis associated with arthroscopic biceps tenodesis can be made.

AbstractWith modern-day technical advances, high sagittal oblique osteotomy (HSOO) of the mandible was recently described as an alternative to bilateral sagittal split osteotomy for the correction of mandibular skeletal deformities. However, neither in vitro nor numerical biomechanical assessments have evaluated the performance of fixation methods in HSOO. The aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical characteristics and stress distribution in bone and osteosynthesis fixations when using different designs and placing configurations, in order to determine a favourable plating method. We established two finite element models of HSOO with advancement (T1) and set-back (T2) movements of the mandible. Six different configurations of fixation of the ramus, progressively loaded by a constant force, were assessed for each model. The von Mises stress distribution in fixations and in bone, and bony segment displacement, were analysed. The lowest mechanical stresses and minimal gradient of displacement between the proximal and distal bony segments were detected in the combined one-third anterior- and posterior-positioned double mini-plate T1 and T2 models. This suggests that the appropriate method to correct mandibular deformities in HSOO surgery is with use of double mini-plates positioned in the anterior one-third and posterior one-third between the bony segments of the ramus.
