Prognostic value of a three-dimensional dynamic quantitative analysis system to measure facial motion in acute facial paralysis patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To investigate the prognostic value of a three-dimensional dynamic quantitative analysis system to measure facial motion (3D ASFM) in acute facial palsy patients and compare it with subjective grading methods and electroneurography.

Methods

We continuously recruited 37 patients with acute (< 1 month) Bell's palsy. An integrated evaluation of facial palsy was performed for each patient. The integrated evaluation included the House-Brackmann grading system (H-BGS), Sunnybrook Facial Grading System (SFGS), electroneurography and three-dimensional objective measurements. Then, the entire set of evaluations were repeated for each patient 1 month later. The patients were followed up monthly until recovery or for up to more than 6 months. We adopted the SFGS and H-BGS as the representative subjective grading system and final criteria for recovery. Poor recovery was defined as an SFGS score less than 70 or H-BGS score higher than II.

Results

Multiple regression analysis was performed to find the best prognostic indicators. In less than 1 month from onset, ENoG had the highest prognostic value. However, in the second month from onset, the results of SFGS and 3D ASFM were identified as the best prognostic parameters, and a prediction formula with a determination coefficient of 0.673 was established. The receiver operating characteristic curves revealed that a gross score of the 3D ASFM less than 31 in the first evaluation and 49 in the second evaluation had higher sensitivity and specificity to predict poor recovery.

Conclusions

In different phases of Bell's palsy, the best predictor of prognosis is different. ENOG is the most effective predictor of the prognosis in the first month after onset. In the second month after onset, the combination of SFGS and 3D ADSM is considered to be the best prognostic predictor.

Project description:Dynamic bone histomorphometry is the standard method for measuring bone remodeling at the level of individual events. Although dynamic bone histomorphometry is an invaluable tool for understanding osteoporosis and other metabolic bone diseases, the technique's two-dimensional nature requires the use of stereology and prevents measures of individual remodeling event number and size. Here, we used a novel three-dimensional fluorescence imaging technique to achieve measures of individual resorption cavities and formation events. We performed this three-dimensional histomorphometry approach using a common model of postmenopausal osteoporosis, the ovariectomized rat. The three-dimensional images demonstrated the spatial relationship between resorption cavities and formation events consistent with the hemiosteonal model of cancellous bone remodeling. Established ovariectomy was associated with significant increases in the number of resorption cavities per unit bone surface (2.38 ± 0.24 mm⁻² sham surgery versus 3.86 ± 0.35 mm⁻² bilateral ovariectomy [OVX], mean ± SD, p < 0.05) and total volume occupied by cavities per unit bone volume (0.38% ± 0.06% sham versus 1.12% ± 0.18% OVX, p < 0.001), but there was no difference in surface area per resorption cavity, maximum cavity depth, or cavity volume. In addition, we found that established ovariectomy is associated with increased size of bone formation events because of the merging of formation events (23,700 ± 6,890 µm² sham verusus 33,300 ± 7,950 µm² OVX). No differences in mineral apposition rate (determined in 3D) were associated with established ovariectomy. That established estrogen depletion is associated with increased number of remodeling events with only subtle changes in remodeling event size suggests that circulating estrogens may have their primary effect on the origination of new basic multicellular units with relatively little effect on the progression and termination of active remodeling events.
