India first applied 3D printing to tongue cancer treatment
As you can see, 3D printing has become almost standard medical technology. 3D printers are almost standard when performing special surgical exercises such as prosthesis implantation or comminuted fractures. Recently, the Bangalore City Hospital in India used 3D printing technology for tongue cancer surgery, which is the first application of this technology in the field of cancer treatment.
The medical team from the Global Cancer Center in Bangalore, India, is now a pioneer in 3D printing cancer treatment applications. The patient who underwent surgery was a 53-year-old male from the local area who had had tongue cancer two years ago. However, recent MRI examinations have revealed that cancer has spread over a large area of ​​the tongue.
Dr. Vishal Rao, director of the hospital's oncology department, initially believed that most of the patient's tongue should be removed. In fact, due to poor living habits, such as chewing tobacco, tongue cancer or oral cancer is very high in India, accounting for almost 40% of the total cancer. Its incidence is so high that doctors are struggling to find low-cost and efficient treatments.
It turns out that 3D printing may be the solution. Because it provides accurate cancerous information, it helps doctors to remove the cancerous part more accurately, rather than cutting the entire tongue. To this end, Dr. Rao found the local 3D printing specialist Anatomiz 3D LLP, which helped print the patient's tongue and tumor model and differentiated them with color to help doctors better plan their surgery.
To print out the exact model, the Anatomiz3D team used Materialise's Mimics design software to process the patient's MRI and CT scan data to create a 3D model. The relevant 3D model is printed with materials of different textures and colors, and the healthy portion and the cancerous portion are significantly distinguished. The model is as follows:
It is understood that with this precise model, the doctors successfully completed the operation. While removing the cancerous part, the functional part of the tongue is retained. Doctors believe that with the success of this operation, 3D printing will play an increasingly important role in cancer surgery in India.
Like the purple sand pot, the bonsai pot is made of a kind of high-quality pottery clay that is a specialty of Yixing (hidden deep under the rock and mixed in the mud, so it is called "rock in the rock" or "mud in mud". The texture is delicate and flexible. Strong plasticity), after being selected, refined and refined, it is fired at a high temperature of 1000-1250 degrees. It has no glaze on the inside and outside, and has fine texture, toughness, good physical properties, and drainage and air permeability are very suitable for the growth of trees and flowers. Its color is ancient and quiet, its shape is generous and diverse and complements the potted flowers and trees. It is simple, rich and rich in ethnic characteristics. In addition, it is meticulous and exquisite. It can be said that it has both artistic value and practical value, which is unmatched by other types of pots.
The beauty of the large bonsai pots lies in its unique decorative means. Skilled craftsmen of the past dynasties, through their own exquisite skills, integrated the pot color, shape, style recognition, inscription, calligraphy and sculpture, etc., so that the purple sand flowerpots can be beautiful in the simplicity and give people a visual enjoyment.
The colors of the small bonsai pots are colorful. Among them, the three colors of vermilion, purple and beige are the main colors; during the firing process, as the temperature after entering the kiln is different, the depth and intensity of the color changes more and more; coupled with the accumulation of long-term practical experience of the artists, they use different proportions of mud With the preparation of materials, there are dozens of colors after firing. For example, the colors are named iron blue, sky blue, maroon, begonia red, cinnabar purple, water green, agarwood, sunflower yellow, cold golden color, pear skin, blue gray, dark green, patina, brown black, durian skin and other colors. If you observe carefully, there is a little bit of white sand in the mud, with silver light flashing, and some of the mud is mixed with coarse mud sand or steel sand, and the particles are looming and extremely eye-catching. Although the color changes in the purple sand are many, the tones are very calm. If you plant ancient piles of pine and cypress, it will be more simple and simple.
The shapes of the clay bonsai pots range from very deep thousand-tube basins to very shallow basins, from round basins with a diameter of about one meter to finger-sized miniature basins. There are all kinds of specifications, various forms of basin mouth, basin surface, basin hole The changes in the feet of the basin are even more varied, which is even better than the shape of the purple clay pot. It can be described as a masterpiece of the shape of the vessel.
