Authors: Zhang Wenhao , Chen Minjie , Zhang Weijie , Chai Ying 
Published: June 2015

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the relationship among the pain region, branches of trigeminal nerve, and the neurovascular compression (NVC) location. A total of 123 consecutive patients with trigeminal neuralgia (TN) underwent endoscope-assisted microvascular decompression according to positive preoperative tomographic angiography. V2 alone was in 51 cases and V3 alone was in 64 cases. The location of NVC was classified into cranial, caudal, medial, or lateral sites. Some patients with multiple regions were recorded as medial + cranial, lateral + cranial, medial + caudal, and lateral + caudal. Twenty-eight (71.8%) of 39 patients with TN (V2) had their NVC at the medial site of the nerve. Twenty-seven (64.3%) of 42 patients with TN (V3) had their NVC at the lateral site of the nerve. There was a statistically significant difference (P = 0.0011 < 0.01, χ2 test). Sixteen (69.6%) of 23 patients with TN(V2) had their NVC at the cranial site of the nerve. Thirty-four (69.4%) of 49 patients with TN (V3) had their NVC at the caudal site of the nerve. There was no statistical difference (P = 0.3097 > 0.01). Evaluation of the relationship between the pain region and the NVC location by endoscopic images during microvascular decompression is more accurate. The second branch is mostly distributed in the medial area, and third branch is mainly distributed in the lateral area.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the optimal timing of subsequent dental implant placement and orthodontics after alveolar bone grafting (ABG) in patients with unilateral complete clefts of the alveolar process. Iliac bone graft surgery was performed on 60 patients. Bone mineral density (BMD) and height of the ABG areas were assessed using cone beam computed tomography at 3 and 6 months postoperatively. The heights of the labial and palatal bone graft areas were classified using the modified Bergland classification. The study found that there was no change in BMD between 3 months (mean ± SD: 406.51 ± 71.28 Hounsfield units [HU]) and 6 months (409.53 ± 46.37 HU; P = 0.381). Significant changes in the distribution of bone height classifications were observed in the labial and palatal sides of the ABG between 3 and 6 months (P = 0.025 for labial bone height, P = 0.008 for palatal bone height). These results indicate that the alveolar density remained stable between 3 and 6 months, whereas bone height level declined during that period after ABG, the latter indicating bone graft absorption over time. It is, therefore, suggested that subsequent orthodontic or dental implants be placed 3 months after ABG rather than at 6 months or later.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common disease with the prevalence of approximately 10% in general population, and this disease entity is considered to be highly related with the development of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases. In the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease, maintaining the homeostasis of autonomic nervous system (ANS) is critical. To evaluate the homeostasis of ANS, heart rate variability (HRV) is commonly used. The object of this study was to evaluate the homeostasis of ANS using the parameters of HRV and to elucidate the correlation between the parameters and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI).

Methods:
Retrospective review of 806 patients was performed and 164 patients who were diagnosed as having OSAS by in-room polysomnography and met the criteria of age, sex, and body mass index were enrolled. The calculation of HRV parameters was executed using echocardiographic data from polysomnography.

Results:
Between the control group (N = 81, AHI < 5) and OSAS patient group (N = 83, AHI > 15), standard deviation of NN (SDNN) intervals, SDNN index, HRV triangular index, very low frequency (VLF), low frequency (LF), 5-minute total power (TP), and low-frequency to high-frequency (LF/HF) ratio showed significant differences. In the correlation analysis between AHI and HRV parameters, only LF/HF ratio was proven to be significant.

Conclusions:
Elucidating the imbalance of ANS in OSAS patients was feasible by HRV and its parameters.
Tips and Tricks in Transoral Robotic Surgery for Challenging Vascular Tumors
Authors: Meccariello Giuseppe , Eesa Mohamed , Costantini Matteo , Montevecchi Filippo , Vicini Claudio 
Published: June 2015

Abstract
Surgical removal of head-neck vascular neoplasms may have severe complications, although surgery remains a very important treatment modality. One of the most important aspects is to avoid the rupture of the tumor's capsule and to minimize functional complications, especially in the excision of benign tumors. The transoral robotic surgery allows removing lesions in challenging anatomical areas. Furthermore, the current robotic instrumentation does not allow a fine dissection of the structures and capsule rupture is a potential event. Here, the authors describe a minimally invasive technique using transoral robotic surgery for removal of vascular tumors in head-neck. Particular attention was given to the description of the diagnostic work up, the preoperative assessment and the surgical steps. No complications were encountered postoperatively. Transoral robotic surgery for vascular tumors appears to be a safe and feasible technique with minimal complications.

Published: June 2015

Abstract
Many patients with cleft palate deformities worldwide receive treatment at a later age than is recommended for normal speech to develop. The outcomes after late palate repairs in terms of speech and quality of life (QOL) still remain largely unstudied. In the current study, questionnaires were used to assess the patients’ perception of speech and QOL before and after primary palate repair. All of the patients were operated at a cleft center in northeast India and had a cleft palate with a normal lip or with a cleft lip that had been previously repaired. A total of 134 patients (7–35 years) were interviewed preoperatively and 46 patients (7–32 years) were assessed in the postoperative survey. The survey showed that scores based on the speech handicap index, concerning speech and speech-related QOL, did not improve postoperatively. In fact, the questionnaires indicated that the speech became more unpredictable (P < 0.01) and that nasal regurgitation became worse (P < 0.01) for some patients after surgery. A total of 78% of the patients were still satisfied with the surgery and all of the patients reported that their self-confidence had improved after the operation. Thus, the majority of interviewed patients who underwent late primary palate repair were satisfied with the surgery. At the same time, speech and speech-related QOL did not improve according to the speech handicap index-based survey. Speech predictability may even become worse and nasal regurgitation may increase after late palate repair, according to these results.

Published: June 2015

Abstracts
Microstomia is rarely seen in pediatric patients, but usually results from burns, trauma, or caustic ingestions. There have been multiple studies reporting various techniques for oral commissure reconstruction, but few reports in infants. The authors present another modification of previous techniques of microstomia repair performed in a 10-week-old infant using multiple z-plasties and bilateral mucosal rhomboid flaps.
Chin Wing Osteotomy for Bilateral Goldenhar Syndrome Treated by “Chin Wing Mentoplasty”
Authors: Cortese Antonio , Pantaleo Giuseppe , Amato Massimo , Claudio Pier Paolo 
Published: June 2015

Abstract
Various treatment strategies have been proposed to perform the aesthetic surgical correction of asymmetric deformities of the mandible. These techniques range from relatively simple to complex procedures including bimaxillary surgery associated with complex mandibular osteotomies. The authors describe a patient with grade III Goldenhar syndrome, treated by a “chin wing” mentoplasty as described by Triaca. These situations are classically treated with a bilateral sagittal splint osteotomy (BSSO) in combination with mentoplasty. However, because of a good occlusion with Angle's class I relation, slight imbalance of the occlusal plane with good function of the mouth opening, the patient refused to be treated with a BSSO, hence, a chin wing mentoplasty was performed. Size and stability of bone regeneration were evaluated by histological examination and dynamic-volume computed tomography (CT). Mature bone in the grafted areas was detected by histology and CT scan with stable results and a significant increase of facial aesthetics 1 year after surgery. The authors also demonstrated that the chin wing technique provided a little but significant breathing improvement as detected on CT scans and lateral X-ray cephalograms by measuring the breathing area. Chin wing mentoplasty is a moderately invasive technique that is able to improve the aesthetics of the face and patient breathing.
Deep Temporal Fascia Coverage of the Loading Weight in Paralytic Lagopthalmos Patients
Authors: Singh Mansher , Kruse Carla , Eriksson Elof , Caterson E.J. 
Published: June 2015

Introduction:
Use of a weight for lagopthalmos secondary to facial nerve paralysis is the standard technique for achieving effective eyelid closure. However, because of thin and mobile skin of the eyelid and closely opposed implant, there is increased risk of complications such as implant visibility, contour deformity, and implant extrusion.

Surgical Technique:
The authors describe a surgical technique involving coverage of the implanted weight with contralateral deep temporal fascia. The deep temporal fascia serves as a hammock to give an interventional barrier to prevent dehiscence of the pocket and extrusion of the ocular implant. It also provides camouflage to the irregular borders of the gold weight.

Results and Conclusions:
Autologous coverage of gold weight with deep temporal fascia provides an effective solution to commonly associated complications with the gold weights. The use of contralateral temporal fascia preserves the ipsilateral temporalis muscle for future facial nerve reconstruction.
Comparison of Autogenous and Alloplastic Cranioplasty Materials Following Impact Testing
Authors: Wallace Robert D. , Salt Craig , Konofaos Petros 
Published: June 2015

Abstract
Alloplastic materials are often used when significant defects exist. Benefits include no donor site morbidity, relative ease of use, limitless supply, and predictable durability. Depending on the type of alloplast, limitations include a persistent risk of extrusion and infection. Of particular interest in relation to cranioplasties is the ability of the material to provide neuroprotection. The integrity and neuroprotective properties of autologous bone flaps, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), and high-density porous polyethylene (PP) were evaluated following impact testing. Three groups of New Zealand white rabbits (N = 4) underwent a cranioplasty with either a bone flap, PMMA, or PP. In the control group (N = 4), the animals had no cranioplasty. At the end of the eighth week, an impact was delivered to the center of each cranioplasty. At necropsy each cranium and brain was evaluated grossly and histologically. There was a statistical significant difference among groups for the severity of the hemorrhage (P = 0.022) and the grade of cranioplasty disruption (P = 0.0045). Autologous bone was found to be the weakest of the materials tested. In this group severe injury resulted at much lower energy levels than was observed in the control, PMMA, or PP groups. Both PMMA and PP were resistant to fracture and disruption. PMMA provided the greatest neuroprotection, followed by PP. Autologous bone provided the least protection with cranioplasty disruption and severe brain injury occurring in every patient. Brain injury patterns correlated with the degree of cranioplasty disruption regardless of the cranioplasty material. Regardless of the energy of impact, lack of dislodgement generally resulted in no obvious brain injury.
New Pattern of Sutural Synostosis Associated With TWIST Gene Mutation and Saethre-Chotzen Syndrome

Published: June 2015

Abstract
The authors present a new and unique pattern of sutural fusion “peace sign synostosis” (PSS) characterized by synostosis of the metopic, bicoronal, and sagittal sutures and associated with abnormalities of the TWIST1 gene known to be associated with Saethre-Chotzen syndrome (SCS). To do so, we performed a retrospective review of patients with bicoronal, metopic, and at least partial anterior sagittal synostoses at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and Seattle Children's Hospital. Patients’ demographics, genetic analysis, perioperative and clinic notes were reviewed. Five patients were identified with PSS and abnormalities of TWIST1 consistent with SCS. One patient, with the longest follow-up of 7 years, underwent 5 intracranial procedures and required a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt. The remaining 4 patients underwent posterior cranial vault distraction as the initial procedure, followed by anterior cranial vault remodeling. Two patients required a VP shunt. To conclude, synostosis of the metopic, bicoronal, and sagittal sutures (PSS) appears to be associated with SCS and produces a characteristic skull morphology that can be readily identified on physical examination. Early data suggest a high rate of reoperation, increased necessity for a VP shunt, and potential complications. Of note, this novel phenotype had not been previously observed at our respective institutions, reported in the literature, or observed in association with TWIST1 abnormalities as described in association with SCS.
Switching barriers and customer retention
Authors: Li Chia-Ying 
Published: June 2015

Purpose– By expanding on the work of White and Yanamandram (2007), the purpose of this paper is to examine the direct and indirect influences of switching barriers on the relationship between recovery satisfaction and repurchase intentions in an online auction environment.Design/methodology/approach– Data were collected from 272 customers who had experienced online service recovery in the past six months. Partial-least squares and mediated moderation analysis are employed to test the research model.Findings– The interrelationships among recovery satisfaction, relationship quality, and repurchase intentions are confirmed. Both lost benefit switching costs and inertia moderate the relationship between recovery satisfaction and repurchase intentions. Attractiveness of alternatives mediates the moderating effect of inertia on the relationship between recovery satisfaction and repurchase intentions.Originality/value– Unlike previous studies, which have treated switching cost as a switching barrier, or used various components to represent switching barriers, this study incorporates switching cost, relationship quality, inertia, and attractiveness of alternatives as four switching barrier factors. This study further examines the direct and indirect effects of switching barriers on the relationship between recovery satisfaction and repurchase intentions.

Published: June 2015

Purpose– Product-manufacturing firms are increasingly positioning themselves as providers of industrial services and solutions. Despite the increasing conceptual interest in industrial services, empirical evidence about the factors that mediate the relationships between industrial services and firm performance remains limited. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between industrial service offerings, service orientation and firm sales and profit performance.Design/methodology/approach– The study uses data from 115 manufacturing firms and adopts a structural equation modeling technique to test a set of hypotheses on service offerings, service orientation and company sales and profit performance.Findings– The results underline the importance of implementing service orientation in employees’ behavior, recruitment, training, and assessment. Service orientation is demonstrated as an essential mediator for the relationship between service offerings, revenues, and profits. The results therefore suggest that both service offerings and service orientation are important when manufacturing companies attempt to position themselves as industrial service providers.Research limitations/implications– Given the limitations of the sample collected from the Finnish manufacturing industry, future studies could refine the measures and investigate the applicability of the results in other contexts.Practical implications– The results suggest that developing a service orientation is vital for manufacturing companies to profit from increased offerings of industrial services. Because nurturing service orientation is a central enabler of the impact of service offerings on sales and profit performance, it is in the interests of manufacturing firms moving towards a servitized business model to develop training, compensation, and recruitment policies.Originality/value– The study establishes a link between service offerings, service orientation, sales, and profit performance in manufacturing firms. This is among the first studies to provide statistical evidence to support claims that even manufacturing firms can benefit from developing integrated product-service solutions.
Curcumin alleviates lung injury in diabetic rats by inhibiting nuclear factor‐κB pathway
Authors: Zhang Fang , Yang Fei , Zhao Hongmei , An Yunxia 
Published: June 2015

SummaryCurcumin is a polyphenolic compound that is extracted from Curcuma longa. It has broad anti‐inflammation and anti‐tumor activities. Curcumin was previously reported to exert beneficial effects on diabetes. However, the effect of curcumin on diabetes‐induced lung injury is not yet clear. In this study, the effects of curcumin on lung injury induced by diabetes was explored using quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), immunohistochemistry and electrophoretic mobility shift assay. The results of this study showed that curcumin reduced oxidative stress level, inhibited the synthesis of nitric oxide and prostaglandin E2, and reduced inflammatory responses in the lungs of diabetic rats, thereby alleviating diabetes‐induced lung injury. Further study of the mechanism revealed that curcumin inhibited the activation of nuclear factor (NF)‐κB which is a key player in inflammatory responses. In summary, our study demonstrated that curcumin inhibited the activation of NF‐κB in the lungs of diabetic rats, thus reducing pulmonary inflammatory responses and oxidative stress, and ultimately relieving diabetes‐induced lung injury. This study suggests that curcumin may be a promising agent to alleviate diabetic lung injury and also provides theoretical foundation for the development of diabetes therapy.
Co‐Producing (a Fearful) Anthropocene
Authors: COOK BRIAN R. , BALAYANNIS ANGELIKI 
Published: June 2015

AbstractThe Anthropocene is not amenable to the senses but, like many modern concepts, must be made visible. We explore the ‘Great Acceleration’ imagery as an immutable mobile to explore how this human‐made geological epoch is constituted through the aggregation of disparate elements of extreme complexity. Our analysis explores how disparate issues such as ‘telephone use’ and ‘coastal zone biogeochemistry’ can be associated and enrolled into the same argument. We write as concerned observers, who are concerned with the way that recognition for phenomena is enrolled into a fear‐based narrative. This risks reproducing the governance structures at the heart of the Great Acceleration and, if so, we ask what this might mean. Using fear is a risky strategy that is as likely to lead to relatively poor behaviours as it is to some ‘awakening’. We make this case as a way of contributing to the Anthropocene debate, challenging those promoting the idea to consider the co‐productive relationship between the knowledge they are proposing and the governance that knowledge entails.

SummaryA biotechnological strategy for the production of an alternativePfertilizer is described in this work. The fertilizer was produced through rock phosphate (RP) solubilization byAspergillus nigerin a solid‐state fermentation (SSF) with sugarcane bagasse as substrate.SSFconditions were optimized by the surface response methodology after an initial screening of factors with significant effect onRPsolubilization. The optimized levels of the factors were 865 mg of biochar, 250 mg ofRP, 270 mg of sucrose and 6.2 ml of water per gram of bagasse. At this optimal setting, 8.6 mg of water‐solublePper gram of bagasse was achieved, representing an increase of 2.4 times over the non‐optimized condition. The optimizedSSFproduct was partially incinerated at 350°C (SB‐350) and 500°C (SB‐500) to reduce its volume and, consequently, increasePconcentration. The post‐processed formulations of theSSFproduct were evaluated in a soil–plant experiment. The formulationsSB‐350 andSB‐500 increased the growth andPuptake of common bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) when compared with the non‐treatedRP. Furthermore, these two formulations had a yield relative to triple superphosphate of 60% (on a dry mass basis). Besides increasingPconcentration, incineration improved theSSFproduct performance probably by decreasing microbial immobilization of nutrients during the decomposition of the remainingSSFsubstrate. The process proposed is a promising alternative for the management ofPfertilization since it enables the utilization of low‐solubilityRPsand relies on the use of inexpensive materials.
