Objective To evaluate the effect and safety of catheter constant drainage combined with pericardial perfusion lentinan in treatment of patients with malignant pericardial effusion caused by lung cancer.Methods One hundred and eighteen patients with malignant pericardial effusion caused by lung cancer were divided into 2 groups by table of random digit,the treatment group (56 cases) was treated by pericardial perfusion lentinan after catheter constant drainage by central venous catheter,and the control group (62 cases) was treated by pericardial perfusion cisplatin after catheter constant drainage by central venous catheter.The therapeutic effect and adverse reaction were contrasted between the two groups.Results There was no significant difference in effective rate between treatment group and control group [89.3％(50/56) vs.83.9％ (52/62),x2 =0.736,P =0.391].The adverse reaction rate of treatment group was significantly lower than that of control group [8.9％ (5/56) vs.24.2％ (15/62),x2 =4.871,P =0.027].There was no significant difference in recurrence rate between treatment group and control group [14.3％(8/56) vs.11.3％(7/62),x2 =0.004,P =0.948].Conclusions Catheter constant drainage combined with pericardial perfusion lentinan for malignant pericardial effusion caused by lung cancer is safety and effective,and can be widely applied to clinical application.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical effect of clear aligners in the anterior region in non-extraction cases by establishing a three-dimensional model of crown-root fusion to guide clinical application. Methods: Eleven patients visiting the orthodontic department of Xuzhou Stomatological Hospital from December 2020 to December 2021 were collected, and the orthodontic plan was designed using Maestro 3D Dental Studio scheduling software to obtain the expected three-dimensional model of the patient's orthodontic treatment result. CBCT, intraoral scan, and 3D reconstruction software were used to create a postoperative model of the patient. The crown and root data were aligned in Geomagic Studio 2014, and differences in torque and axial inclination between the actual model after treatment and the predicted model of the anterior teeth before treatment were compared in 3-matic. Results: The actual torque angles of the anterior teeth were all smaller than the predicted angles before treatment, with the highest realization rate of 77.55% for lateral incisors and the lowest of 60.70% for central incisors; the actual axial inclination angles of the anterior teeth were also smaller than the predicted angles before treatment, with the highest realization rate of 81.49% for central incisors and the lowest of 74.95% for cuspids. Conclusion A digital model of crown-root integration based on a combination of 3D reconstruction and intraoral scanning techniques is advantageous in assessing the efficacy of clear aligners. In non-extraction cases with clear aligner, the efficiency of movement is higher for small areas of the anterior region.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of tick-borne rickettsial infections in selected areas of Liupanshui City, Guizhou Province, 2023, so as to provide insights into the management of tick-borne rickettsioses in the city. Methods Ticks were captured from the body surface of bovines and sheep in Gaoxing Village, Dashan Township, Liupanshui City, Guizhou Province during the period between April and June, 2023, and tick species were identified using morphological and molecular biological techniques. In addition, tick-borne Rickettsia was identified using a nested PCR assay, including spotted fever group rickettsiae (SFGR), Coxiella spp., Anaplasma spp., Ehrlichia spp., and Orientia spp., and positive amplified fragments were sequenced and aligned with known sequences accessed in the GenBank database. Results A total of 200 ticks were collected and all tick species were identified as Rhipicephalus microplus. Nestle PCR assay combined with sequencing identified ticks carrying Candidatus Rickettsia jingxinensis (40.50%), Coxiella burnetii (1.50%), and Coxiella-like endosymbionts (27.00%), and Anaplasma spp., Ehrlichia spp. or Orientsia spp. was not detected. Conclusions R. microplus carried Candidatus R. jingxinensis, C. burnetii, and Coxiella-like endosymbionts in selected areas of Liupanshui City, Guizhou Province. Intensified monitoring of tickborne rickettsial infections is needed in livestock and humans to reduce the damages caused by rickettsioses.
