    Abstract Introduction: Cases of penetrating ocular trauma due to osseous material are limited, so reported incidents are valuable in determining outcomes and proper treatment courses.
    Case description: We report a case of an open globe injury of the left eye with an intraocular foreign body occurring after a firework exploded in the hand of a 22-year-old man. The patient presented with light perception vision in the injured eye with a full-thickness limbal laceration and dense hyphema obscuring fundoscopy. CT scan revealed a hyperdense foreign body juxtaposed to the lens. Immediate surgical intervention to repair the globe rupture revealed a defect in the anterior capsule and small, white objects in the posterior chamber that were promptly removed. Pathologic investigation determined these fragments to be cortical bone likely from the patient’s phalanges.
    Results and discussion: There was no evidence of endophthalmitis or keratitis from time of injury to the five-month follow-up, suggesting that the risk of infection may be low and therefore it may be reasonable to manage these injuries with a period of observation.

    Abstract Objective: To define a reliable and consistent landmark, the superior posterior wall of the maxillary sinus, and to describe how this landmark can be used when repairing orbital floor fractures.
    Methods: Retrospective chart review. Patients >18 years old diagnosed with unilateral orbital floor and/or zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures.
    Main outcomes: The distance from the inferior orbital rim to the superior posterior wall of the maxillary sinus (landmark distance), and the distance from the landmark to the entrance of the optic canal were reported.
    Results: Eighty patients were included in the study. Each had unilateral isolated orbital floor fractures (n = 46) or unilateral zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures with an orbital floor component (n = 34). The contralateral eye in all patients was uninjured, and was used as an internal control. In orbital floor fractures, the mean landmark distance was 38.8 ± 1.4 mm, with a mean distance on the normal side of 38.8 ± 1.6 mm (P = 0.49). Distance to the optic canal on the injured side in isolated orbital floor fracture patients was 9.0 ± 0.8 mm with the same measurement on the normal side being 8.8 ± 0.7 (P = 0.21). In the setting of zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture, the orbital floor length was 38.2 ± 1.3 mm with a mean normal floor length of 37.8 ± 1.1 mm (P = 0.18). The mean distance from the superior posterior wall to optic canal in zygomaticomaxillary complex fractured orbits was 9.2 ± 1.1 mm with a normal side mean length of 9.5 ± 1.0 mm (P = 0.23). No significant difference was found between the measured distances in the fractured orbit and its normal counterpart for both fracture groups.
    Conclusions and relevance: The superior posterior wall of the maxillary sinus is a reliable landmark that can be used to assist in placement of an orbital floor reconstructive plate. The landmark is unchanged despite the presence of an orbital floor or zygomaticomaxillary sinus fracture.

    Abstract Mitochondrial genomic mutations are found in a variety of human cancers; however, the frequency of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations in coding regions remains poorly defined, and the functional effects of mitochondrial mutations found in primary human cancers are not well described. Using MitoChip, we sequenced the whole mitochondrial genome in 83 head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. Forty-one of 83 (49%) tumors contained mtDNA mutations. Mutations occurred within noncoding (D-loop) and coding regions. A nonrandom distribution of mutations was found throughout the mitochondrial enzyme complex components. Sequencing of margins with dysplasia demonstrated an identical nonconservative mitochondrial mutation (A76T in ND4L) as the tumor, suggesting a role of mtDNA mutation in tumor progression. Analysis of p53 status showed that mtDNA mutations correlated positively with p53 mutations (P < 0.002). To characterize biological function of the mtDNA mutations, we cloned NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 (ND2) mutants based on primary tumor mutations. Expression of the nuclear-transcribed, mitochondrial-targeted ND2 mutants resulted in increased anchorage-dependent and -independent growth, which was accompanied by increased reactive oxygen species production and an aerobic glycolytic metabolic phenotype with hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1alpha induction that is reversible by ascorbate. Cancer-specific mitochondrial mutations may contribute to development of a malignant phenotype by direct genotoxic effects from increased reactive oxygen species production as well as induction of aerobic glycolysis and growth promotion.
