Objective To evaluate the functional and aesthetic disturbance of patients treated with lingual orthodontic surgery and to investigate the key points of laboratory procedure and clinical treatment of lingual orthodontic deformity. Methods A total of 30 cases of Angle class Ⅰ with moder-ate crowding were selected. They were equally divided into two groups: one group was treated using lingual brackets, and the other using conventional labial brackets. Each patient completed a four-part survey right after the bracket placing and 7, 28, 56 days after the treatment. The differences of tongue-lip-cheek soreness, eating and speech difficulties and aesthetic problems were evaluated be-tween two groups. Lateral cephalograms were analyzed at the start of the treatment and the end of the overall treatment. Results Speech difficulties of lingual orthodontics were significantly greater (P<0.01) than that in the labial orthodontics group in the first week of the treatment. Eating difficulties were greater (P<0.01) in the lingual orthodontics group by 28 days, whereas aesthetic problems were greater in group using labial appliance than group lingual appliance. Conclusions In the first two months of the orthodontic treatment, eating and speech difficulties are the most severe problems for the lingual group. Lingual orthodontics offers important aesthetic advantages over labial orthodontics, and it will be one of the development directions of current orthodontics.

Objective:To investigate the situation related to HIV infection and influencing factors of traceability efficiency among sex partners of HIV positive men who have sex with men (MSM).Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted to investigate the traceability among sex partners of HIV-positive MSM in Ningbo from 2018 to 2020. Limiting-antigen avidity enzyme immunoassay determined recent HIV infection. The classified data was evaluated by chi-square test, and factors of traceability efficiency were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression.Results:A total of 374 newly confirmed HIV-positive MSM were recruited to participate in the HIV test in Ningbo from 2018 to 2020.HIV positive rate of sex partner was 15.7% (75/479,95% CI:12.4%-18.9%). HIV positive rates of sex partner of recent HIV infection MSM was 31.8% (21/66,95% CI:20.3%-43.4%). The proportion of newly confirmed HIV-positive sex partners of recent HIV infection MSM (76.2%) was higher than that of long-term HIV infection MSM (48.1%). The difference was statistically significant ( P=0.028). Results from the multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that HIV traceability efficiency was higher in the following subpopulations as; HIV positive MSM who were 36-45 years old (compared with 18-25 years old, OR=3.973,95% CI:1.364-11.569), HIV active detection (compared with HIV passive detection, OR=1.896, 95% CI:1.083-3.319), recent HIV infection MSM (compared with long-term HIV infection MSM, OR=3.733, 95% CI:1.844-7.556). Conclusions:HIV positive rate among partners of HIV positive MSM was very high. The traceability efficiency, which was recent HIV infection MSM and HIV active detection, was high. It is suggested to strengthen the traceability and focus on the newly confirmed HIV-positive MSM in VCT clinics.

Objective:To explore the effect of Teach-Back model on oral health behavior among the middle-aged and aged.Methods:From March 2017 to June 2018, 150 middle-aged and elderly patients undergoing oral examinations from the Department of Preventive Dentistry, Hospital of Stomatology, Sun Yat-sen University were selected as the survey subject by convenience sampling. Patients were divided into experimental group ( n=70) and control group ( n=80) . Control group was given regular oral health guidance, and experimental group implemented Teach-Back nursing care on the basis of control group. After 6 months of intervention, we compared the cognition of periodontal disease, oral health behavior, and periodontal health status of middle-aged and elderly patients between two groups. Results:After 6 months of intervention, the scores of daily oral hygiene habits, periodontal disease cognition and periodontal disease treatment behavior of experimental group were higher than those of control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The Debris Index-Simplified (DI-S) , Calculus Index-Simplified (CI-S) , Gingival Index (GI) , Bleeing Index (BI) and Depth of Periodontal Pocket (PD) of experimental group were lower than those of control group with statistical differences ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Middle-aged and elderly people have poor periodontal disease cognition and need nursing intervention. Teach-Back model can improve the daily oral hygiene habits of middle-aged and elderly patients, improve their correct understanding of periodontal disease, and improve their oral health behavior and quality of life.
