Longitudinal on-treatment circulating tumor DNA as a biomarker for real-time dynamic risk monitoring in cancer patients: The EP-SEASON study.

Recurrence risks of cancer patient can change during treatment as a result of treatment-related tumor evolution. However, biomarkers that can monitor these changes are lacking. Here, we investigated whether tracking circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) dynamics through liquid biopsy can inform real-time recurrence risk.

[Measurement and analysis of inclining implant in edentulous maxillary surgery design based on cone-beam CT].

Purpose: To study the height of alveolar ridge and the distance between the wall of maxillary sinus on the curve of the dental arch, and to explore the guiding significance for maxillary sinus surgery and edentulous jaw implant surgery.

Methods: Cone-beam CT(CBCT) data of 105 objects were selected to measure the height of alveolar ridge and the maximum bone internal distance between the wall of maxillary sinus 10 mm and 12 mm above the alveolar crest horizontally on the curve of the dental arch. Forty-nine objects with alveolar ridge height on the molar area less than or equal to 10 mm were included for further investigation.
