OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of immune checkpoint inhibitors combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy in the treatment of early-stage triple-negative breast cancer （TNBC）. METHODS A systematic search was conducted in PubMed， Embase， Cochrane Library， CNKI， and Wanfang Data to collect randomized controlled trials （RCT） on the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy （experimental group） versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy （control group） in the treatment of TNBC. After literature screening， data extraction and literature quality evaluation， meta-analysis was performed using Stata 17.0. RESULTS A total of 5 RCT involving 1 498 patients were included. The meta-analysis results showed that the pathological complete response rate （pCR） [RR＝1.34， 95%CI （1.09， 1.63）， P＝0.03]， pCR in patients with positive programmed death-1 （PD-1） and its ligand （PD-L1） [RR＝1.33， 95%CI （1.16， 1.51）， P＝0.01]， pCR in patients with positive lymph nodes [RR＝ 1.56， 95%CI （1.27， 1.93）， P＝0.01]， the incidence of grade 3-4 adverse events （AEs） [RR＝1.07， 95%CI （1.01， 1.14）， P＝ 0.04]， the incidence of serious AEs [RR＝1.57， 95%CI （1.31， 1.87）， P＝0.03]， and the incidence of treatment discontinuation due to AEs [RR＝1.45， 95%CI （1.19， 1.76）， P＝0.01] were significantly higher in the experimental group than control group. There were no statistically significant difference in pCR in patients with negative PD-1/PD-L1[RR＝ E-mail：biejun23@126.com 1.26， 95%CI （0.98， 1.62）， P＝0.08] and pCR in patients with negative lymph nodes [RR＝1.14， 95%CI （0.97， 1.33）， P＝0.17] between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Immune checkpoint inhibitors combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy demonstrates significant efficacy in early-stage TNBC patients， with more pronounced benefits observed in those who are PD-1/PD-L1 positive and lymph node- positive. However， the incidence of AEs is relatively high.

The prevalence of periodontitis in China is as high as 74.2%, making it the leading cause of tooth loss in adults and severely impacting both oral and overall health. The treatment of periodontitis and periodontal tissue regeneration are global challenges of significant concern. GE Shaohua' s group at School and Hospital of Stomatology, Shandong University has focused on the key scientific issue of "remodeling the periodontal inflammatory microenvironment and optimizing tissue repair and regeneration". They have elucidated the mechanisms underlying the persistence of periodontitis, developed bioactive materials to enhance stem cell regenerative properties, and constructed a series of guided tissue regeneration barrier membranes to promote periodontal tissue repair, leading to the establishment of a comprehensive technology system for the treatment of periodontitis. Specific achievements and progress include: (1) Elucidating the mechanism by which key periodontal pathogens evade antimicrobial autophagy, leading to inflammatory damage; developing intelligent antimicrobial hydrogels and nanosystems, and creating metal-polyphenol network microsphere capsules to reshape the periodontal inflammatory microenvironment; (2) Explaining the mechanisms by which nanomaterial structures and electroactive interfaces regulate stem cell behavior, developing optimized nanostructures and electroactive biomaterials, thereby effectively enhancing the regenerative repair capabilities of stem cells; (3) Creating a series of biphasic heterogeneous barrier membranes, refining guided tissue regeneration and in situ tissue engineering techniques, stimulating the body' s intrinsic repair potential, and synergistically promoting the structural regeneration and functional reconstruction of periodontal tissues. The research outcomes of the group have innovated the fundamental theories of periodontal tissue regeneration, broken through foreign technological barriers and patent blockades, established a cascade repair strategy for periodontal regeneration, and enhanced China' s core competitiveness in the field of periodontal tissue regeneration.

Cemental tear is a rare and indetectable condition unless obvious clinical signs present with the involvement of surrounding periodontal and periapical tissues. Due to its clinical manifestations similar to common dental issues, such as vertical root fracture, primary endodontic diseases, and periodontal diseases, as well as the low awareness of cemental tear for clinicians, misdiagnosis often occurs. The critical principle for cemental tear treatment is to remove torn fragments, and overlooking fragments leads to futile therapy, which could deteriorate the conditions of the affected teeth. Therefore, accurate diagnosis and subsequent appropriate interventions are vital for managing cemental tear. Novel diagnostic tools, including cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), microscopes, and enamel matrix derivatives, have improved early detection and management, enhancing tooth retention. The implementation of standardized diagnostic criteria and treatment protocols, combined with improved clinical awareness among dental professionals, serves to mitigate risks of diagnostic errors and suboptimal therapeutic interventions. This expert consensus reviewed the epidemiology, pathogenesis, potential predisposing factors, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of cemental tear, aiming to provide a clinical guideline and facilitate clinicians to have a better understanding of cemental tear.

With the transition of the medical model from the traditional biomedical model to the biopsychosocial one, there is a growing trend and requirement for oral operations that prioritize comfort, pain management, minimally invasive techniques, and visualization. Consequently, demands for comfortable dental treatments among individuals are increasing. However, initial periodontal therapy is often accompanied by pain, and patients′ reactions to pain range from nervousness to dental fear, such as irritability, hyperventilation, even nausea, vomiting, and refusal to cooperate, which make the implementation of initial periodontal therapy difficult or even impossible. This article will focus on three key steps: firstly, the preparation of the clinic, the acquisition of patients′ trust and the implementation of preventive sedation before treatment; secondly, the use of comfort operation and nursing, psychological intervention measures, local anesthesia, and sedation techniques during treatment; thirdly, the health education and follow-up after treatment. By addressing these aspects, we aim to clarify how to perform comfortable initial periodontal therapy step by step.

ObjectiveTo investigate the levels of serum antibodies against novel coronavirus （SARS-CoV-2） in healthcare workers after one month of natural infection， to explore the influencing factors and their correlations with the levels of antibodies， and to provide reference for strengthening the protection of healthcare workers and preventive intervention in Pudong New Area in Shanghai. MethodsVenous blood samples were collected from 1 102 medical staff in Pudong hospitals one month after infection. The serum levels of new coronavirus specific antibodies IgM， IgG and neutralizing antibodies were detected by chemiluminescent immunoassay. The information of gender， age， position， infection severity， vaccination， basic diseases and use of immunosuppressants were obtained by questionnaire to explore the influencing factors and their correlation with the antibody level. ResultsOne month after natural infection， 99.00% （1 091/1 102） of the subjects were found to be positive for IgG antibody against the new coronavirus， 17.79% （196/1 102） of the subjects were IgM antibody positive， and 99.00% （1 091/1 102） of the samples were positive for the neutralizing antibody. The level of antibody might be influenced by the severity of infection， the time of the last dose of vaccination， and the long-term use of immunosuppressants. The more severe the disease， the stronger the neutralizing antibody response. The antibody level in the people who received the final dose of vaccine within 6 months was higher than that of the people who received the vaccine 6 months ago， and the difference was statistically significant. The antibody levels were low in the subjects who received long-term immunosuppressants. ConclusionThe specific IgM， IgG and neutralizing antibody were found， one month after infection， in the medical workers in Pudong New Area， Shanghai， and the antibody titers were high， which had a good protective effect. The antibody level of the people who were vaccinated within 6 months was higher， it is recommended that people who receive the last vacination more than 6 months should be re-vaccinated with the booster vaccine， to improve the autoimmunity against the novel coronavirus.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant arterial interventional chemotherapy(NAIC)and neoadjuvant intravenous chemotherapy(NIVC)for the treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer(LACC).Methods Randomized controlled trials(RCTs)which fit the theme were included by searching PubMed,Web of Science,Embase,CNKI,and Wanfang databases.After study quality assessment and data extraction,statistical analysis was performed using Stata 17.0,and outcome quality was assessed using the GRADE system.Results A total of 14 RCTs were included,with 1 063 LACC patients.The results of the Meta-analysis showed that NAIC and NIVC had a positive effect on the effectiveness indicators:complete response(CR)[RR=1.23,95％CI(0.91,1.67),P=0.174],partial response(PR)[RR=1.10,95％CI(0.86,1.20),P=0.874],total response(TR)[RR=1.10,95％CI(0.95,1.25),P=0.212],no change(NC)[RR=0.62,95％CI(0.33,1.16),P=0.137]and progressive disease(PD)[RR=1.43,95％CI(0.41,4.99),P=0.574]were not statistically significant.Differences in safety indicators:gastrointestinal reactions[RR=0.96,95％CI(0.76,1.23),P=0.755],hepatic and renal impairment[RR=0.71,95％CI(0.41,1.23),P=0.226]were not statistically significant.While in the incidence of myelosuppression[RR=0.62,95％CI(0.45,0.86),P=0.04],NAIC was superior to NIVC.In addition,the GRADE score results showed CR,PR,TR,and NC were high-quality evidence.Conclusion For LACC patients,the incidence of myelosuppression after treatment with NAIV is lower and safer than that with NIVC,and no significant difference was found between the two in terms of other efficacy and safety indicators.Clinicians should choose the appropriate neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen based on a comprehensive assessment of the patient's actual condition.

Objective To investigate the influence of individual factors and labor organization factors on work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in automobile manufacturing workers, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of WMSDs in automobile manufacturing workers. Methods In April 2020, 5564 workers in an automobile factory were selected by cluster sampling method. The prevalence of WMSDs was investigated by using the Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire, and the influence of individual factors and labor organization factors on WMSDs was investigated by using generalized estimation equation. Results The prevalence rate of WMSDs was 79.00% (4396/5564), and the prevalence rate of multisite WMSDs was 67.95% (3781/5564). The analysis of generalized estimation equation showed that doing the same job every day (OR= 1.478, P < 0.05), age ≥40 years (OR=1.416, P< 0.05), personnel shortage (OR= 1.356, P < 0.05), and work length of 6～10 years and 11～15 years (OR= 1.349, P< 0.05) were the main risk factors for WMSDs in automobile manufacturing workers. Shift work and working time > 40 hours per week increased the risk of WMSDs (P< 0.05). Male and adequate rest time were protective factors for WMSDs. The job correlation matrix showed that WMSDs in most parts had a positive correlation. Conclusions The prevalence of multisite WMSDs of workers in automobile manufacturing industry is high, and unreasonable labor organization is the main risk factor of WMSDs. Appropriate work breaks can effectively reduce the risk of WMSDs, and effective intervention measures should be carried out to prevent the occurrence of WMSDs in workers in automobile manufacturing industry. The generalized estimation equation can better analyze the influencing factors of WMSDs.

Objective:To investigate the cognition and learning habits of different types of postgraduates and evaluate learning effect and its potential risk factors on clinical epidemiology in a medical college, so as to provide relevant data for improving the teaching method and learning effect of clinical research methods for postgraduates.Methods:A cross-sectional study design was conducted to enroll all the postgraduates of Grade 2020 in a military medical school. A self-filled questionnaire was adopted to collect data. The discrepancy of cognition and learning habits between different types of postgraduates was evaluated by univariate analysis. Discussion was conducted to clarify the potential risk factors of learning effect. t tests or Mann-Whitney U tests were conducted to test the differences between groups for continuous variables. Chi-squared tests or McNemar tests were applied to evaluate the difference between groups for categorical variables. Results:A total of 652 postgraduate students were enrolled for analysis, including 409 master students (62.7) and 243 doctoral students (37.3).
