Objective:To evaluate the effects of resin infiltration in the treatment of post-orthodontic white spot lesions (WSLs)and compare it with microabrasion.Methods:1 0 subjects with 66 teeth with noncavitated and unrestored WSLs after multibracket treatment were recruited.A simple randomized,split-mouth and controlled design was used to allocate WSLs to the resin infiltration and micro-abrasion groups(n =33).The area of the WSLs were measured photographically by using image analysis software before treatment (T0),1 week(T2)and 3 months(T3)after treatment.Data were analyzed with multifactorial analysis of the variances with repeated measures at an a level of 5% and a power of 80%.Results:The area of the white spot lesions(R)decreased significantly in both groups(P <0.05).At T3 the success rate of resin infiltration group(88.68%)was significantly higher than that of microabrasion group (64.67%)(P <0.05).Conclusion:Resin infiltration is more effective than microabrasion in the treatment of post-orthodontic WSLs.

Objective To explore the relationship of plasma salusin-? level with the stability,severity,and other risks of coronary atherosclerosis.Methods The patient group included 122 hospitalized patients with coronary artery disease(CAD),whose diagnoses were confirmed by coronary angiography(CAG).The CAD group was further divided into subgroups according to the clinical types,the number of diseased coronary branches,and Gensini's scores.Control group inlcuded 60 healthy subjects who underwent physical examination in our hospital.Salusin-? level and other general biochemical indicators were determined,and the general clinical data were obtained before CAG in all subjects.Results The peripheral blood salusin-? level in CAD patients was significantly lower than that in the controls([0.50?0.18]ng/ml vs [0.69?0.23 ng/ml],P

The ketogenic diet(KD) treatment program planned for a 2 years old and 5 months boy suffered from severe cerebral complications after ependymoma operation in the Children′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University at December 2018 was analyzed retrospectively.The patient developed various complications, including cerebral hemorrhage, hydrocephalus and hernia after the operation of ependymoma, with coma, fever and convulsion, and 1 month of anti-infection and antiepileptic treatment was ineffective.After 2 weeks of 4∶1 KD, fever and convulsion were effectively relieved without obvious side effects.One month later, the patient regained consciousness, demonstrating that KD can be applied to treat severe cerebral complications after ependymoma operation.

Objective To investigate the current status of treatment on traumatic ruptured spleen in a regional medical center in Tianjin,China.Method Logistic analysis of 16 impact ffactors of treatment decision on 147 patients with traumatic ruptured spleen.Results The type of trauma,pulse rate at admission,result of abdominal puncture and CT grade were related to treatment decision making.Splenectomy was carried out in 89 patients (60.54％) which accounted for 89.90％ of all surgical procedures.Splenectomy was carried out in 50.85％ of patients with CT grade 1 or 2 (or 85.71％ of grade 1 and 2 surgery),and 100％ of CT grade 3 or 4.Spleen preservation surgery was carried out in 7 patients with CT grade 1 or 2.Conclusion Splenectomy was carried out in most cases in this study.It is necessary to investigate the treatment of splenic trauma in regional medical centers,and to develop more reliable surgical techniques to carry out more spleen-preservation surgery ffor CT grade 1 or 2 ruptured spleen.

Objective To observe and compare the function of peripheral blood derived dendritic cells (DC) in white hair black eyes (WHBE) rabbits and Japanese white (JW) rabbits with allergic rhinitis (AR) induced by ovalbumin (OVA),and to explore the mechanism of sensitivity to allergen in WHBE rabbits.Methods For the AR induction,rabbits were sensitized intraperitoneally everyday with OVA emulsified in Al(OH)3 followed from day 17 onward by 5 times nasal challenges with OVA in each nostril.General symptoms and histopathological changes of the nasal mucosa were observed.Expressions of CD86 on cell surface and antigen uptake of peripheral blood-derived dendritic cells were detected by flow cytometry at 6 days of culture.The mannose receptor (MR) mRNA expression was tested by real-time PCR.Proliferation of CFSE [5-(and 6-)-carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester]-labelled T cells stimulated by DC were observed by flow cytometry.Results The rabbits sensitized by OVA showed typical AR symptoms and pathological changes.Expressions of CD86 on the cell surface of dendritic cells in WHBE rabbits with AR were significantly upregulated not only compared with the normal control (NC) rabbits,but also with the JW rabbits with AR (P<0.01).The result of real-time PCR assay showed that MR mRNA expression of DC in the NC group of WHBE rabbits were significantly higher than that of the JWrabbits(P<0.01).Moreover,MR mRNA expression of DCs in the WHBE rabbits with AR were not only significantly higher than that in the NC rabbits (P<0.05),but also higher than that in the JW rabbits with AR (P<0.05).Meanwhile,OVA647 internalization percentages of DCs in the WHBE rabbits with AR were not only significantly higher than that in the NC rabbits,but also obviously higher than that in the JW rabbits with AR (P<0.01).Conclusions The sensitivity of WHBE rabbits to allergen may largely depend on the function of dendritic cells with high expression of mannose receptor and their strong ability of maturation and antigen uptake.

The study aims to develop a unified method to determine seven phenolic acids (neochlorogenic acid, chlorogenic acid, 4-caffeoylquinic acid, caffeic acid, isochlorogenic acid B, isochlorogenic acid A and isochlorogenic acid C) contained in honeysuckle flower that is the monarch drug of all the eight Yinqiao Jiedu serial preparations using quantitative analysis of multi-components by single-marker (QAMS). Firstly, chlorogenic acid was used as a reference to get the average relative correction factors (RCFs) of the other phenolic acids in ratios to the reference; columns and instruments from different companies were used to validate the durability of the achieved RCFs in different levels of standard solutions; and honeysuckle flower extract was used as the reference substance to fix the positions of chromatographic peaks. Secondly, the contents of seven phenolic acids in eight different Yinqiao Jiedu serial preparations samples were calculated based on the RCFs durability. Finally, the quantitative results were compared between QAMS and the external standard (ES) method. The results have showed that the durability of the achieved RCFs is good (RSD during 0.80% - 2.56%), and there are no differences between the quantitative results of QAMS and ES (the relative average deviation < 0.93%). So it can be successfully used to the quantitative control of honeysuckle flower principally prescribed in Yinqiao Jiedu serial preparations.

Objective:To systematically integrate the real experience of self-management needs of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and provide evidence-based basis for nursing interventions.Methods:Relevant qualitative research was searched on China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) , VIP, Wanfang Data, SinoMed, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, and CINAHL. The search period was from the establishment of the database to March 17, 2023. Literature screening was conducted based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, and quality evaluation was conducted using the quality evaluation criteria for qualitative research of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Evidence-Based Health Care Center in Australia. The results were synthesized by integrating method, and the quality of the integration results was evaluated through the Confidence in the Evidence from Reviews of Qualitative research (CERQual) .Results:A total of 9 articles were included, 36 research results were extracted, summarized into 7 new categories, and integrated into 3 results, namely information support needs, solution support needs, and social support needs. The results of CERQual showed that the quality levels of information support needs, solution support needs, and social support needs were high, medium, and medium in order.Conclusions:NAFLD patients need a comprehensive self-management support system to improve their self-management and reduce the disease burden.

Objective:To analyze the implementation of early essential newborn care (EENC) in baby-friendly hospitals in China.Methods:This is an investigation carried out using convenience sampling method. People in charge of labor ward, obstetric wards or neonatology department of the selected hospitals, such as baby-friendly hospitals with birth facilities, primary or higher level of hospitals, or general hospitals or those specialized in obstetrics and gynecology or materal and child health care centers, were selected as the subjects of the survey. Information about EENC practices in these hospitals was collected using a self-designed questionnaire sent through WeChat from April 1 to 30, 2021. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis. Results:A total of 126 questionnaires were distributed and 124 (124 baby-friendly hospitals) were withdrawn. There were 74 hospitals in the eastern, 18 in the central and 32 in the western region. Among the 124 hospitals, tertiary hospitals, general hospitals, and maternity and child care hospitals accounted for 72.6% ( n=90), 64.5% ( n=80) and 35.5% ( n=44), respectively. There were no significant differences in the hospital type, levels, EENC coverage and training, or implementation of mainly recommended EENC practices among the hospitals in the eastern, central and western regions (all P>0.05). The implementation rate of at least one mainly recommended EENC practice was 79.0% (98/124) and there was no significant difference in the implementation rates among eastern, central and western regions [86.4% (64/74), 13/18 and 65.6% (21/32), χ2=6.60, P=0.159]. A total of 80 (64.5%) hospitals implemented 10 or more recommended EENC practices, and the implementation rates in eastern, central and western regions were 71.6% (53/74), 10/18 and 53.1% (17/32), respectively ( χ2=4.08, P=0.130). Among the 17 mainly recommended measures of EENC, in eastern, central and western hospitals, the implementation rates were 10.8% (8/74), 2/18 and 18.8% (6/32) for mother-infant skin-to-skin contact for 90 min after birth; 66.2% (49/74), 11/18 and 68.8% (22/32) for delayed umbilical cord clamping; and 25.7% (19/74), 7/18 and 21.9% (7/32) for delayed routine care following skin-to-skin contact, respectively ( χ2=6.57, 0.34 and 4.53, all P>0.05). Conclusions:There is a big gap between the implementation of EENC in most baby-friendly hospitals in eastern, central and western China and the recommendation of the World Health Organization. It is necessary to further strengthen and standardize the implementation of EENC practices in baby-friendly hospitals in our country to continuously improve the health of newborns.

Backgrounds::Inadequate sleep duration is associated with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes and the relationship is nonlinear. We aim to assess the curve relationship between night sleep duration and the incidence of type 2 diabetes in China.Methods::A cohort of 11,539 participants from the REACTION study without diabetes at baseline (2011) were followed until 2014 for the development of type 2 diabetes. The average number of hours of sleep per night was grouped. Incidence rates and odds ratios (ORs) were calculated for the development of diabetes in each sleep duration category.Results::Compared to people who sleep for 7 to 8 h/night, people with longer sleep duration (≥9 h/night) had a greater risk of type 2 diabetes (OR: 1.27; 95% CI: 1.01-1.61), while shorter sleep (<6 h/night) had no significant difference in risk of type 2 diabetes. When the dataset was stratified based on selected covariates, the association between type 2 diabetes and long sleep duration became more evident among individuals <65 years of age, male, body mass index <24 kg/m 2 or with hypertension or hyperlipidemia, no interaction effects were observed. Furthermore, compared to people persistently sleeping 7 to 9 h/night, those who persistently slept ≥9 h/night had a higher risk of type 2 diabetes. The optimal sleep duration was 6.3 to 7.5 h/night. Conclusions::Short or long sleep duration was associated with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes. Persistently long sleep duration increased the risk.
