Objective: To analyze the timeliness of antir-etroviral therapy (ART) and its influencing factors among newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2023, so as to provide a reference for improving the ART effect of HIV/AIDS cases. Methods: Newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Wenzhou City from 2016 to 2023 were selected as the research subjects. Demographic information, the situation of the first CD4+ T lymphocyte (CD4 cell) test, baseline CD4 cell count, and ART situation were collected through the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. The timely rate of ART was analyzed, and the influencing factors for timely ART among HIV/AIDS cases were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 4 500 newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Wenzhou City from 2016 to 2023 were included, among which 3 679 were males, accounting for 81.76%, and 821 were females, accounting for 18.24%. The median age was 46.24 (interquartile range, 26.23) years. Among these cases, 3 606 received timely ART, with a timely rate of 80.13%. The timely rate of ART increased from 57.54% in 2016 to 91.97% in 2023 (P<0.05). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that unmarried/divorced/widowed (OR=0.769, 95%CI: 0.641-0.922), detainees (OR=0.492, 95%CI: 0.269-0.900), untimely first CD4 cell test (OR=0.278, 95%CI: 0.234-0.330), baseline CD4 cell count ≥200 cells/µL (OR=0.709, 95%CI: 0.595-0.843) or undetected (OR=0.131, 95%CI: 0.080-0.213) were associated with a lower timeliness for ART among HIV/AIDS cases. Conclusion From 2016 to 2023, the timely rate of ART among newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Wenzhou City showed an upward trend, which was mainly affected by marital status, case source, timeliness of the first CD4 cell test, and baseline CD4 cell count.

Probiotics play a crucial role in colon cancer treatment by metabolizing prebiotics to generate short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Colon cancer patients are frequently propositioned to supplement with probiotics to enhance the conversion and utilization of prebiotics. Nevertheless, the delivery and colonization of probiotics is hindered by the harsh conditions of gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Here, we devised a straightforward yet potent modified prebiotic-based "shield" (Gelatin-Inulin, GI), employing dietary inulin and natural polymer gelatin crosslinked via hydrogen bonding for enveloping Lactobacillus reuteri (Lr) to formulate synbiotic hydrogel capsules (Lr@Gl). The GI "shield" serves as a dynamic barrier, augmenting the resistance of Lr to gastric acid and facilitating its bioactivity and adherence in the GIT, synergizing with Lr to elicit an anti-tumor effect. Simultaneously, Lr@GI demonstrates anti-tumor effects by depleting glutathione to release reactive oxygen species, accompanied by the activation of NLRP3 (NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3), and the induction M1 macrophage polarization. Furthermore, Lr@GI can not only promote the recovery of intestinal barrier but also regulate intestinal flora, promoting the production of SCFAs and further exerting anti-tumor effect. Crucially, Lr@GI also potentiates the anti-tumor effect of 5-Fluorouracil. The construction and synergistic anti-tumor mechanism of synbiotic hydrogel capsules system provide valuable insights for gut microbial tumor therapy.

Enamel demineralization, the formation of white spot lesions, is a common issue in clinical orthodontic treatment. The appearance of white spot lesions not only affects the texture and health of dental hard tissues but also impacts the health and aesthetics of teeth after orthodontic treatment. The prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of white spot lesions that occur throughout the orthodontic treatment process involve multiple dental specialties. This expert consensus will focus on providing guiding opinions on the management and prevention of white spot lesions during orthodontic treatment, advocating for proactive prevention, early detection, timely treatment, scientific follow-up, and multidisciplinary management of white spot lesions throughout the orthodontic process, thereby maintaining the dental health of patients during orthodontic treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To explore whether hydrocortisone can improve the prognosis of patients with severe community-acquired pneumonia (sCAP) by Meta-analysis. METHODS: Randomized controlled trial (RCT) on hydrocortisone in the treatment of sCAP were extracted from the database including PubMed, Cochrane library, Web of Science, and Embase, and the search time was up to April 29, 2023. The patients in the standard treatment group received standard treatment such as antibiotics and supportive care, while those in the hydrocortisone group received hydrocortisone treatment on the basis of standard treatment. Meta-analysis was used to compare the mortality, duration of mechanical ventilation, mechanical ventilation rate and incidence of adverse reactions (hyperglycemia, gastrointestinal bleeding, secondary infection) between the two groups. The risk of literature bias was assessed. The studies that might have publication bias were corrected by the subtraction and complementation method. At the same time, trial sequential analysis (TSA) was conducted. RESULTS: A total of 5 RCTs involving 1 031 patients were finally enrolled, including 494 patients in the standard treatment group and 537 patients in the hydrocortisone group. Among the 5 studies, the research site of 2 studies was in the mixed ward. Considering the inclusion characteristics of the study population, there was doubt whether its research object was sCAP patients, which might have a certain impact on the results and introduce potential bias. Meta-analysis showed that the mortality in the hydrocortisone group was significantly lower than that in the standard treatment group [6.0% vs. 14.0%; odds ratio (OR) = 0.38, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 0.25-0.59, P < 0.01; I² = 9%]. The studies that were asymmetric were corrected by the reduction and supplementation method. Even after filling the missing studies, hydrocortisone could still reduce the death risk of the patient (OR = 0.49, 95%CI was 0.32-0.73, P < 0.01; I² = 31%). TSA showed that the average mortality of the standard treatment group was about 14.0%, and that of the hydrocortisone group was about 6.0%, with a relative risk reduction (RRR) = 57%. The calculated sample size was 699 cases, and the actual sample size was 1 031 cases. The actual sample size exceeded the required sample size, and the Z-curve crossed the O'Brien-Fleming boundary and the curve corresponding to P = 0.05, it meant that hydrocortisone could effectively reduce the mortality of sCAP. Compared with the standard treatment group, no statistical difference in the duration of mechanical ventilation was found in the hydrocortisone group [mean difference (MD) = -3.26, 95%CI was -6.72-0.21, P = 0.07; I² = 0%], but the 8-day mechanical ventilation rate was significantly lowered (19.5% vs. 55.4%; OR = 0.24, 95%CI was 0.12-0.45, P < 0.01; I² = 0%), and also no significantly difference was found in the incidence of hyperglycemia (54.3% vs. 44.6%, OR = 1.26, 95%CI was 0.56-2.84, P = 0.58; I² = 61%), gastrointestinal bleeding (2.5% vs. 3.6%; OR = 0.70, 95%CI was 0.34-1.46, P = 0.34; I² = 0%) and secondary infection (9.2% vs. 11.5%; OR = 0.46, 95%CI was 0.06-3.35, P = 0.45; I² = 53%). CONCLUSION Hydrocortisone can reduce the mortality rate of sCAP patients, decrease their need for mechanical ventilation, and does not increase the risk of hyperglycemia, gastrointestinal bleeding, or secondary infections.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the clinical application of the digital-assisted reconstruction of the mandible and tumors with free fibula transplantation and immediate implantation via the intraoral approach. METHODS: Twelve patients with benign mandibular tumors were collected. Three-dimensional mandibular reconstruction was performed digitally before surgery to simulate mandibular tumor resection, fibula resection and reconstruction, and implant implantation. The intraoperative resection of the mandibular tumor was conducted through the intraoral approach under the guidance of a guide plate, and fibula resection, molding, reconstruction, and oral fixation were immediately performed. Implant implantation was performed during the second phase of implant surgery and denture restoration was performed 1-2 months after surgery. RESULTS: The types of mandibular defects were BrownⅠ (one case), Ⅰc (four cases), Ⅱ (one case), Ⅱc(three cases), and Ⅲ (three cases). The length of the fibular bone was 12-22 cm. The number of fibular molding amputations was as follows: two cases in two segments, six cases in three segments, three cases in four segments, and one case in five segments. All of these cases underwent folding fibular reconstruction of mandibular and alveolar bone defects. A total of 44 implants were implanted, and none failed after operation. CONCLUSIONS The intraoral approach is a reliable method for the resection of mandibular benign tumors, with few postoperative complications and the ability to position and fix accurately the reconstructed folded fibula under digital design. The immediate implantation of the transplanted fibula does not affect the blood supply and has a high success rate. It is an effective and reliable method for the resection and reconstruction of mandibular benign tumors.

OBJECTIVE To study the differences in toxicity between intravenous(iv)administration and aqueous solution exposure of Dichroa alkali salt(DAS)in zebrafish.METHODS ① Well-devel-oped zebrafish larvae of 2 d post fertilization(2 dpf)were randomly divided into the normal control(no treatment),solvent control(saline,iv),and DAS groups(0.125,0.25,0.50,1.00 and 2.00 mg·kg-1,iv)before being observed for 3 consecutive days after administration.A heart rate of 0 was determined as death of zebrafish,and the mortality rate,maximum non-lethal dose(MNLD),and 10 percent lethal dose(LD10)were calculated.The incidence of venous sinus congestion,pericardial edema,slowing heart rate and blood flow of zebrafish in the 0.50 and 2.00 mg·kg-1 groups were observed and calculated by somatoscopic microscopy at 4 h after drug administration.Zebrafish larvae were iv given DAS at doses of 0.041,0.136,0.412,and 0.452 mg·kg-1 while the malformation phenotypes of zebrafish larvae development were observed under a stereomicroscope for 3 consecutive days,including pericardial edema,abnormal heart rate,slow blood flow,loss of circulation,eye abnormalities,brain malforma-tions,jaw abnormalities,loss/degeneration of the liver,delayed yolk sac absorption,intestinal abnormal-ities,abnormal body coloration,body edema,curvature of the trunk/tail/nodal cord and muscle degener-ation before the incidence was calculated.②Zebrafish larvae were randomly divided into a normal control group and DAS aqueous solution exposure groups at concentrations of 2.5,5.0,10.0,25.0,50.0,75.0,and 100.0 mg·L-1,observed for 3 d until the mortality rate,LD10,and MNLD were calculated.Zebrafish were exposed to DAS aqueous solutions at concentrations of 0.32,1.06,3.20,and 11.00 mg·L-1,and the malformation phenotypes of zebrafish larvae development were observed under a stereomicro-scope for 3 consecutive days to calculate the incidence.RESULTS ① The MNLD and LD10 of DAS iv administered to zebrafish larvae were 0.412 and 0.452 mg·kg-1,respectively.Compared with the solvent control group,4 h after DAS iv administration,the incidence of sinus congestion,slow heart rate and pericardial edema in the 0.50 and 2.00 mg·kg-1 groups significantly increased(P<0.05,P<0.01),so was the incidence of slow blood flow in the 2.00 mg·kg-1 group(P<0.01).The rate of delayed yolk sac absorption was significantly increased in the 0.041,0.136,0.412,and 0.452 mg·kg-1 groups(P<0.05,P<0.01),so was the mortality rate in the 0.452 mg·kg-1 group(P<0.05),with pericardial edema observed in the dead zebrafish.② The MNLD and LD10 of DAS aqueous solution exposure for zebrafish larvae were 3.20 and 11.00 mg·L-1,respectively.Compared with the normal control group,the incidence of decreased heart rate and slow blood flow was significantly increased in the 3.20 and 11.00 mg·L-1 groups(P<0.01),so was the incidence of significantly darkened intestines in the 1.06,3.20,and 11.00 mg·L-1 groups(P<0.01).The incidence of delayed yolk sac absorption was significantly increased in the 0.32,1.06,3.20,and 11.00 mg·L-1 groups(P<0.05,P<0.01),so was the incidence of trunk curvature and lower jaw malformation in the 11.00 mg·L-1 group(P<0.01).CONCLUSION The toxic phenotypes of DAS are different between iv administration and aqueous solution exposure in zebrafish larvae.DAS aqueous solution exposure can not only lead to slow heart rate,slow blood rheology,delayed yolk sac absorption and intestinal blackening,but also induce neurodevelopmental toxicity.However,iv adminis-tration can effectively ward off significant gastrointestinal damage and neurodevelopmental toxicity.

Objective To analyze the emergency treatment protocols and nursing measures for patients with diquat and paraquat poisoning,aiming to provide references for updating future clinical practice.Methods A retrospective study was conducted involving 53 patients with diquat and paraquat poisoning admitted to the department of emergency of the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January 1,2019,to December 31,2023.The patients were divided into survival and death groups based on their prognosis.Clinical data were collected to compare organ dysfunction,the proportion of hemoperfusion(HP),average number of HP sessions,the proportion of blood purification,average duration of blood purification,and the proportion of HP combined with continuous renal replacement therapy(CRRT)between two groups of patients with different prognoses.Results Among the 53 patients,27(50.94%)were male and 26(49.06%)were female;with an age range of 14 to 86 years and a mean age of(38.13±19.68)years.Fifty-two cases were due to intentional ingestion,and 1 was accidental.The detected blood concentrations of diquat ranged from 57.38 to 119762.00 μg/L,while those of paraquat ranged from 60.12 to 71 244.89 μg/L.Forty patients developed multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS),with 38 ultimately progressing to multiple organ failure,primarily affecting the gastrointestinal tract,kidneys,and liver.After aggressive treatment and nursing,the blood concentrations of 13 patients(24.53%)dropped below 50 μg/L,and they were discharged after 4 to 34 days of hospitalization.Thirty-two patients'families opted for withdrawal of treatment and discharge,with subsequent confirmation of death after follow-up,hospital stay:1-4 days.Eight patients died in-hospital,hospital stay:1-3 days,resulting in a total mortality rate of 40 cases(75.47%).Compared to the survival group,the death group had significantly higher rate of neurological,renal,respiratory,and liver injuries[neurological:90.00%(36/40)vs.15.38%(2/13),renal:95.00%(38/40)vs.69.23%(9/13),respiratory:97.50%(39/40)vs.30.77%(4/13),liver injury:85.00%(34/40)vs.46.15%(6/13),all P<0.05].Furthermore,the death group had significantly lower average number of HP sessions and average duration of blood purification compared to the survival group[average number of HP sessions:4.35±2.42 vs.6.62±1.17,average duration of blood purification time(days):1.53±1.09 vs.5.23±3.90,both P<0.05].Conclusions Poisoning with a mixture of diquat and paraquat is life-threatening and associated with a high mortality.In addition to systematic treatment,individualized and dynamic nursing support should be provided,including close monitoring of the manifestations and laboratory indicators of affected organ systems.Therefore,optimization treatment protocols during the peak mortality period may help reduce mortality in patients with diquat and paraquat poisoning.

Objective:The rehabilitation work for patients with motor dysfunction after stroke is crucial.However,there is currently a lack of summarized evidence regarding the rehabilitation management of stroke patients in rehabilitation wards,communities,and at home.This study aims to compile relevant evidence on the rehabilitation management of patients with motor dysfunction after stroke,providing a reference for clinical and community health professionals to carry out rehabilitation interventions. Methods:A systematic search was conducted in BMJ Best Practice,UpToDate,National Guidebook Clearinghouse,American Heart Association/American Stroke Association,Canadian Medical Association,National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence,United States Department of Veterans Affairs/Department of Defense,Registered Nurses Association of Ontario,JBI Evidence-Based Healthcare Center Database,The Cochrane Library,PubMed,Web of Science,Embase,CINAHL,CNKI,Wanfang Database,SinoMed,and other databases for all literature on the rehabilitation management of patients with motor dysfunction after stroke.This included clinical decision-making,guidelines,expert consensuses,recommended practices,systematic reviews,and evidence summaries,with the search period spanning from the establishment of each database to October 2023.Two researchers independently evaluated the quality of the literature. Results:A total of twenty-one documents were included,consisting of 11 guidelines,2 expert consensus,and 8 systematic reviews.Evidence was extracted and integrated from the included literature,summarizing forty-five pieces of evidence across nine areas:rehabilitation management model,rehabilitation institutions,rehabilitation teams,timing of rehabilitation interventions,rehabilitation assessment,rehabilitation programs,rehabilitation duration and frequency,rehabilitation intensity,and rehabilitation support These covered comprehensive rehabilitation management content for stroke patients in the early,subacute,and chronic phases. Conclusion:The best evidence summarized in this study for the rehabilitation management of patients with motor dysfunction after stroke is comprehensive and of high quality.It provides important guidance for clinical and community healthcare professionals in carrying out rehabilitation interventions.When applying the evidence,it is recommended to consider the current condition of the stroke patient,the extent of motor dysfunction,environmental factors,and the patient's preferences.Then,select the most appropriate rehabilitation plan,and adjust the type and intensity of training according to each patient's specific needs and preferences.

Objective:To investigate the effect of enteral nutrition support on quality of life and therapeutic effect in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.Methods:A total of 100 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer admitted to Anqing Petrochemical Hospital from Jan. 2020 to Dec. 2023 were selected and divided into parenteral nutrition group and enteral+parenteral nutrition group with 50 cases each using random number table method. The parenteral nutrition group received parenteral nutrition, and the parenteral + parenteral nutrition group was supplemented with enteral nutrition. The therapeutic effect, nutritional indexes, intestinal flora, survival time and quality of life before and after treatment were compared between the two groups.Results:The effective rate of enteral + off-site nutrition group was 76.00%, that of parenteral nutrition group was 54.00%, and that of enteral + off-site nutrition group was higher than that of parenteral nutrition group ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in nutritional indexes, flora imbalance grade or QLQ-C30 score between the two groups before intervention ( P>0.05). After the intervention, the albumin and total protein in the enteral + parenteral nutrition group were (38.76±6.02) g/L, (64.09±6.71) g/L, the number of normal microbiota disorder cases was 46, the survival time was (17.055±4.33) months, the physical function score was (74.59±7.55) points, and the emotional function score was (78.94±7.96) points, cognitive function score (88.95±9.03) points, role function score (85.49±8.61) points, social function score (81.45±8.27) points. In the parenteral nutrition group, the albumin was (34.51±5.47) g/L, the total protein was (58.91±6.55) g/L, the number of normal microbiota disorder cases was 33, the survival time was (12.48±3.59) months, the physical function score was (67.21±6.81) points, and the emotional function score was (73.55±7.78) points, cognitive function score was (83.47±8.55) points, role function score was (80.14±8.26) points, social function score was (76.93±7.827) points, and enteral + off-site nutrition group was higher than parenteral nutrition group ( P<0.05). In the enteral + off-site nutrition group, the transferrin was (1.45±0.57) g/L, and there were 2 cases of class II flora dysregulation and 2 cases of class III flora dysregulation; in the off-site nutrition group, the transferrin was (1.71±0.61) g/L, and the number of class II flora dysregulation was 8 cases and the number of class III flora dysregulation was 9 cases. Enteral + off-site nutrition group was lower than parenteral nutrition group ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:Enteral + parenteral nutrition support Enteral nutrition support can help improve the treatment effect of metastatic colorectal cancer, improve the nutritional status and survival time of patients, and improve the quality of life of patients.

In the field of dental aesthetics,digital aesthetic design plays a crucial role in helping dentists to predict treatment outcomes vis-ually,as well as in enhancing the consistency of knowledge and understanding of aesthetic goals between dentists and patients.It serves as the foundation for achieving ideal aesthetic effects.However,there is no clear standard for this digital process currently in China and abroad.Many dentists lack of systematic understanding of how to carry out digital aesthetic design for treatment.To establish standardized processes for dental aesthetic design and to improve the homogeneity of treatment outcomes,Chinese Society of Digital Dental Industry(CSD-DI)convened domestic experts in related field to compile this consensus.This article elaborates on the key aspects of digital aesthetic data collection,integration steps,and the digital aesthetic design process.It also formulates a decision tree for dental aesthetics at macro level and outlines corresponding workflows for various clinical scenarios,serving as a reference for clinicians.
