Novel GNAI3 mutation in a Chinese family with auriculocondylar syndrome and treatment of severe dentofacial deformities: a 5-year follow-up case report

BackgroundAuriculocondylar syndrome (ARCND) is an extremely rare autosomal dominant or recessive condition that typically manifests as question mark ears (QMEs), mandibular condyle hypoplasia, and micrognathia. Severe dental and maxillofacial malformations present considerable challenges in patients’ lives and clinical treatment. Currently, only a few ARCND cases have been reported worldwide, but most of them are related to genetic mutations, clinical symptoms, and ear correction; there are few reports concerning the treatment of dentofacial deformities.Case presentationHere, we report a rare case of ARCND in a Chinese family. A novel insertional mutation in the guanine nucleotide-binding protein alpha-inhibiting activity polypeptide 3 (GNAI3) was identified in the patient and their brother using whole-exome sequencing. After a multidisciplinary consultation and examination, sequential orthodontic treatment and craniofacial surgery, including distraction osteogenesis and orthognathic surgery, were performed using three-dimensional (3D) digital technology to treat the patient’s dentofacial deformity. A good prognosis was achieved at the 5-year follow-up, and the patient returned to normal life.ConclusionsARCND is a monogenic and rare condition that can be diagnosed based on its clinical triad of core features. Molecular diagnosis plays a crucial role in the diagnosis of patients with inconspicuous clinical features. We present a novel insertion variation in GNAI3, which was identified in exon 2 of chromosome 110116384 in a Chinese family. Sequential therapy with preoperative orthodontic treatment combined with distraction osteogenesis and orthognathic surgery guided by 3D digital technology may be a practical and effective method for treating ARCND.

Three-dimensional artistic design method of ceramic products based on recurrent neural network technology

Three-dimensional digital technology has made breakthroughs and shown unique advantages in all walks of life. On the basis of practicality, the three-dimensional artistic design of ceramic products gradually adds some aesthetic, artistic design elements, which brings beautiful enjoyment to people’s lives and makes people’s lives colorful. This paper presents a three-dimensional artistic design method for ceramic products based on RNN (recurrent neural network) technology. With the establishment of the 3D YOLOv3 framework, the new model training is faster and more stable, the convergence speed of the loss function is faster, and the reconstructed 3D model is more accurate. After training for a certain number of times, the network gradually becomes stable, the accuracy rate is kept at 95%, and the loss function value is reduced below 0.2. The accuracy of the network model and the precision of semantic segmentation are improved. The semantic segmentation and object recognition under 3D scene reconstruction studied in this paper have certain theoretical value and high feasibility.

Characterization and Quantitative Assessment of Shale Fracture Characteristics and Fracability Based on a Three-Dimensional Digital Core

At present, assessment techniques for the fracability of shale reservoirs, which rely on the formation of an effective fracture network, are scarce. Hence, in order to assess the fracability, it is critical to establish a quantitative correlation between the pattern of fracture distribution after fracture and fracability. The present investigation utilizes three-dimensional digital core technology and triaxial compression experiments to simulate the fracturing process in typical domestic shale reservoir cores. In addition to utilizing the maximum ball algorithm to extract fracture images, a number of other techniques are employed to compute the spatial quantitative parameters of the fractures, including least squares fitting, image tracking algorithms, and three-dimensional image topology algorithms. The introduction of the notion of three-dimensional fracture complexity serves to delineate the degree of successful fracture network formation subsequent to fracturing. A quantitative fracability characterization model is developed by integrating the constraints of fracture network formation potential and fragmentation potential. The results of this study show that the quantitative characterization of the characteristic parameters of cracks can be achieved by establishing a method for extracting crack information as well as parameters after core compression and completing the construction of a three-dimensional complexity characterization model. Meanwhile, the three-dimensional post-compression fracture image validation shows that the core fracturability index can better reflect the actual fracturing situation, which is in line with the microseismic monitoring results, and significantly improves the accuracy of fracturability characterization, which is an important guideline for the fracturing design of shale gas reservoirs.

Comparing the impact of three-dimensional digital visualization technology versus traditional microscopy on microsurgeons in microsurgery: a prospective self-controlled study.

Emerging three-dimensional digital visualization technology (DVT) provides more advantages than traditional microscopy in microsurgery; however, its impact on microsurgeons' visual and nervous systems and delicate microsurgery is still unclear, which hinders the wider implementation of DVT in digital visualization for microsurgery. Forty-two microsurgeons from the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center were enrolled in this prospective self-controlled study. Each microsurgeon consecutively performed 30min conjunctival sutures using a three-dimensional digital display and a microscope, respectively. Visual function, autonomic nerve activity, and subjective symptoms were evaluated before and immediately after the operation. Visual functions, including accommodative lag, accommodative amplitude, near point of convergence and contrast sensitivity function (CSF), were measured by an expert optometrist. Heart rate variability was recorded by a wearable device for monitoring autonomic nervous activity. Subjective symptoms were evaluated by questionnaires. Microsurgical performance was assessed by the video-based Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skill (OSATS) tool. Accommodative lag decreased from 0.63 (0.18) diopters (D) to 0.55 (0.16) D ( P =0.014), area under the log contrast sensitivity function increased from 1.49 (0.15) to 1.52 (0.14) ( P =0.037), and heart rate variability decreased from 36.00 (13.54) milliseconds (ms) to 32.26 (12.35) ms ( P =0.004) after using the DVT, but the changes showed no differences compared to traditional microscopy ( P >0.05). No statistical significance was observed for global OSATS scores between the two rounds of operations [mean difference, 0.05 (95% CI: -1.17 to 1.08) points; P =0.95]. Subjective symptoms were quite mild after using both techniques. The impact of DVT-based procedures on microsurgeons includes enhanced accommodation and sympathetic activity, but the changes and surgical performance are not significantly different from those of microscopy-based microsurgery. Our findings indicate that short-term use of DVT is reliable for microsurgery and the long-term effect of using DVT deserve more consideration.

Construction of medical aromatherapy experimental teaching resources based on digital three-dimensional technology

Abstract In this paper, on the basis of the Unity3D engine, image feature points are coarsely extracted, and a quadtree-based division algorithm is applied to filter the optimal FAST corner points. The fast 3D reconstruction technique is constructed through the construction method of nonlinear scale space similar to scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT), which is layer incremented according to the scale level logarithmic layer. The reconstructed 3D virtual teaching laboratory tool is obtained by importing the matched feature points into the model after the diffusion is completed. Finally, the teaching process and teacher-student behavioral data analysis were conducted for TCM and acupuncture students using the medical aromatherapy experimental course “Clinical Experiment of Aromatherapy for Primary Dysmenorrhea” as the teaching objective. The results showed that the maximum value of iFIAS of the experimental group was 100, and the mean value was 79.35, while the maximum value of technical iFIAS of the control group was only 51.32, and the mean value was 21.34, which was a significant difference between the two. It shows that the teaching method improves classroom learning interest and effect. The purpose of this paper is to provide relevant opinions and references for the future development direction of the combination of aromatherapy teaching and 3D virtual reality.

Three-Dimensional Digital Technology: A Powerful Assistant for the Reconstruction of Complex Craniofacial Deformities.

Three-dimensional digital technology has been widely applied in craniofacial surgeries, particularly in conventional procedures such as facial contouring and orthognathic surgery. To some extent, the process has already been standardized. As to reconstruction surgeries of complex craniofacial deformity, however, surgical plans need to be patient-specific. Traditionally, individualized surgical treatment largely relies on the surgeon's clinical experience. The application of digital technology mainly focuses on preoperative planning and postoperative evaluation of surgical outcomes rather than intraoperative patient-specific implants or osteotomy guides. For patients with complex craniofacial deformities, requirements for accurate 3-dimensional digital technology can be much higher. This study presents a favorable surgical reconstruction of the severe craniofacial deformity using 3-dimensional digital technology, providing references for craniofacial surgeons, which could be beneficial to clinical practice and treatment efficacy.

Using 3D Ray Tracing Technology to Study the Disturbance Effect of Rocket Plume on Ionosphere

In this paper, the initial neutral atmospheric parameters, background ionospheric parameters and geomagnetic field parameters of the ionosphere are obtained by NRLMSISE-00 model, IRI-2016 model and IGRF-13 model, respectively. Considering the neutral gas diffusion process, ion chemical reaction and plasma diffusion process, a three-dimensional dynamic model of chemical substances released by rocket plume disturbing the ionosphere is constructed. The influence of the disturbance on the echo path of high frequency radio waves with different incident frequencies is simulated by using three-dimensional digital ray-tracing technology. Using this model, the process of ionospheric disturbance caused by the main chemical substances H2 and H2O in the rocket plume under three different release conditions: fixed-point release at 300 km, vertical path at 250–350 km and parabolic path at 250–350 km, and the influence of the ionospheric cavity on the radio wave propagation of high frequency radio waves at different frequencies are simulated. The main purpose of the article is to focus on the effect of the cavity generated by the rocket exhaust on the propagation of radio waves. It mainly studies the perturbation effect on the ionosphere under different release conditions, considers the neutral gas diffusion process, ion chemical reaction and plasma diffusion process, and establishes the three-dimensional dynamics of the ionospheric electron density and the spatiotemporal distribution of the plume plasma learning model. Finally, the three-dimensional ray-tracing algorithm is used to simulate the propagation path of the radio wave through the disturbance area. We considered three different release conditions, including fixed-point release, vertical path and parabolic path. The ionospheric disturbances produced by these different releases are compared and analyzed, and their effects on the propagation path of radio waves are studied.

Recent developments in three-dimensional digital technology are being utilized throughout the entire process of orthognathic surgery, from establishing a surgical plan to printing the surgical splint. These processes have made it possible to perform more sophisticated surgery. The goal of this review article is to introduce current trends in the field of orthognathic surgery and controversies that are under active discussion. The role of a plastic surgeon is not limited to performing orthognathic surgery itself, but also encompasses deep involvement throughout the entire process, including the set-up of surgical occlusion and overall surgical planning. The authors summarize various aspects in the field of orthognathic surgery with the hope of providing helpful information both for plastic surgeons and orthodontists who are interested in orthognathic surgery.

Full Digital Surgery-First, Skeletal Anchorage and Aligners Approach to Correct a Gummy Smile and Class II Malocclusion with Mandibular Retrusion and Deviation

Background: The demand for interdisciplinary orthodontic treatment has increased significantly in the past few years, especially in adult patients. This kind of treatment requires careful clinical management, as consequence of the possible complications and limits related to adult age. However, the use of skeletal anchorage and three-dimensional (3D) digital technology has deeply revolutionised diagnostic planning and treatment strategies. Methods: A fully digital approach to the treatment of a Class II patient with a gummy smile and mandibular deficiency and deviation, consisting of initial surgery followed by the use of aligners and skeletal anchorage, is described. Results: The 3D, fully digital pre-evaluation enabled clinicians to accurately and reliably plan the surgical procedure and subsequent orthodontics, including the individualised positioning of stabilisation plates and a splint for maxillary and chin surgical movements. This allowed for the improvement of the patient’s facial aesthetics and dental occlusion without the use of visible orthodontic appliances or the occurrence of pre-surgical aesthetic worsening. Conclusions: This approach could be very effective for adult patients seeking aesthetic treatment options for facial and dental aesthetic improvement.
