Palate repair seems to have no obvious effects on cranial base morphology in patients with UCLP. Those patients with lip operated, whether cleft palate operated or not, tend to have a smaller length of maxilla sagittally and this deformity progresses with age.

Our findings preliminarily elucidate the abnormalities of CD45RO memory T cells in keloid scars and provide early evidence that a disrupted T-cell response contributes to the progression of KD.

Maxillary protraction with a loading of 6 N in the cleft side and 5 N in the noncleft side produced the most favorable outcome. It can be suggested that it might be advantageous to perform asymmetric maxillary protraction on UCLP patients.

Asymmetric dental development was presented in both jaws but mainly in maxillary anterior region. The RL deficiency of cleft-side central incisors differed at different developmental stages.

Maxillary protraction after ABG performed a more favorable outcome. Among the ABG models, nonresorption model showed the best effect after loading maxillary protraction force, and resorption in the lower region of the grafted bone showed a better effect than resorption in the upper region of the grafted bone. Maxillary expansion could effectively facilitate the orthopedic of the maxillary protraction presumably.
