Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of decompression in the treatment of large jaw cystic lesions.Methods 42 patients suffered from large jaw cystic lesions were randomly divided into two groups,21 patients in the control group performed the traditional curettage surgery;21 patients in the experiment group performed the decompression surgery.The intraoperative blood loss,operative time,the incidence rate of postoperative pain and postoperative infection,follow-up recurrence rate were compared between the two groups.Results The intraoperative blood loss,operative time,postoperative pain and postoperative infection rates of the experiment group were significantly better than the control group,the differences between two groups were significant(P < 0.05).The recurrence rate of the control group and the experiment group was 24.0%,4.8%.The recurrence rate of the experiment group was significantly lower than the control group (P < 0.05).Conclusion Compared to the traditional curettage surgery,decompression surgery can reduce blood loss,shorter operative time,reduce postoperative infection,reduce the risk of recurrence,then improve the clinical efficacy.

Objective:
To investigate the changes of microorganisms and metabolites in joint effusion of patients with Rheumatoid arthritis(RA), Osteoarthritis(OA) and Urarthritis(UA). To provide new ideas for the study of the effect of microbiota on the pathogenesis of arthritis.
Methods:
Joint effusion samples were collected from 20 patients with RA, 20 patients with OA, and 20 patients with UA. 16S rRNA gene sequencing and untargeted ultra-high performance Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(LC-MS) were used to explore the differences in microorganisms and metabolites among the three groups. Pearson correlation analysis was used to detect the correlation between effusion microbiota and metabolites.
Results:
There were differences in microbial diversity and microbiota composition among the three groups. Combined with VIP>1 from OPLS-DA andP<0.05 from two-tailed Students t-test, 45 differential metabolites(Between RA and OA groups), 38 differential metabolites(Between UA and OA groups) and 16 differential metabolites(Between RA and UA groups), were identified. GO analysis and KEGG pathway analysis showed that the differential metabolic pathways among the three groups were mainly concentrated in citric acid cycle(TCA cycle), nucleotide metabolism, amino acid metabolism and glycolysis pathway. Correlation analysis of joint effusion microbiota and metabolites suggested that bacteria enriched in the three groups of joint effusion, such asPrevotella,Clostridium ruminosus,Prevotellaceae_UCG-001, were related to many key metabolites such as lysozyme, uric acid, glucose, and L-glutamine.
Conclusion
This study shows that there are a variety of bacterial flora in joint cavity effusion of RA, OA, and UA patients, and the differential metabolites produced by them are involved in the pathogenesis of the three types of arthritis by affecting a variety of metabolic pathways.
