The aim of this observational study was to utilize data from the multicenter Pediatric Craniofacial Surgery Perioperative Registry to present and compare patient characteristics and outcomes in children undergoing midface advancement with distraction osteogenesis. We queried the Pediatric Craniofacial Surgery Perioperative Registry for children undergoing midface advancement involving distractor application from June 2012 to September 2016. Data extracted included demographics, perioperative management, complications, fluid and transfusion volumes, and length of stay. The extracted patient characteristics and perioperative variables were summarized and compared. The query yielded 72 cases from 11 institutions: 49 children undergoing Le Fort III and 23 undergoing Monobloc procedures....

Surface tension and polarity areincreased based on the measurements of contact angles. Theliquid-crystal (LC) pretilt angles of the rubbed polyimide films arereduced by both unpolarized and polarized UV light illumination. Boththe LC alignment and pretilt angle are generated on unrubbed polyimidefilms through the photoalignment process. The mechanism ofphotoalignment of LC is discussed.
