Objective To evaluate the anatomic morphology of submandibular fossa. Methods Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used to analyze the anatomic morphology of submandibular fossa. Implants of various dimensions were virtually placed into the mandibular 1st and 2nd molar region. Spatial relationships among submandibular fossa , mandibular canal and implant were analyzed. Results The depth of the submandibular fossa was (1.0 ± 0.61)mm in the 1st molar region and (1.5 ± 0.61)mm in the 2nd molar region. There were no significant statistical difference in genders, sides, and tooth loss. The length of the implants was (19.7 ± 3.75)mm (d = 4 mm) and (18.6 ± 3.73)mm (d = 5 mm) in the 1st molar region and (16.2 ± 3.46) mm (d = 4 mm) and (15.2 ± 3.09)mm (d = 5 mm) in the 2nd molar region in patiens with teeth and lingual perforation; the length of the implants was (17.1 ± 3.77)mm (d = 4 mm) and (15.6 ± 3.85)mm (d = 5 mm), and (14.2 ± 4.05)mm (d = 4 mm) and (13.2 ± 4.27)mm (d = 5 mm) in patients with tooth loss, respectively. Conclusions Determination of spatial relationships among submandibular fossa , mandibular canal and implants by using CBCT has important significance in guiding dental implant surgery.

5.Independent food purchasing behavior and associated factors among primary and secondary school students in Haidian District, Beijing
Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(6):871-874
Objective:
To examine independent food purchasing behavior and influence factors among primary and secondary school students, and to provide evidence for formulating and implementing corresponding intervention measures.
Methods:
Using a two stage stratified random cluster sampling principle, 976 primary and secondary school students in Haidian District of Beijing were selected to participate in a questionnaire survey from March to May 2021, and students independent food purchases and associated factors were considered.
Results:
The proportion of middle school students who often purchased food independently (22.79%) was higher than that of primary school students(16.77%)( χ 2=5.58, P <0.05). The proportion of middle school students and primary school students who sometimes purchased food independently was 66.32% and 60.33%, respectively( χ 2=3.78, P >0.05). The proportion of middle school students who never purchased food independently (10.88%) was lower than that of primary school students(22.90%)( χ 2=25.10, P <0.05). The proportion of middle school students and primary school students who often purchased food with their parents was 30.80% and 32.52%, respectively( χ 2=0.33, P >0.05). The factors that primary and secondary school students often considered when purchasing food included personal factors (e.g., physical and psychological factors), family factors, social factors, and the food itself. The top five factors that middle school students often considered when purchasing food were taste, hygiene, production date, student s mood, and advertisement. The top five factors that primary school students often considered when purchasing food were hygiene, taste, production date, advertising, and quality. The proportion of students with consideration of nutritional value, calorie level and collocation type, as well as other nutritional factors, when purchasing food was low, no significant differences were observed between primary and middle school students( χ 2=3.25,2.93,3.06, P >0.05).
Conclusion
Independent food purchasing behavior is prevalent among primary and secondary school students. Nutritional awareness among middle and primary school students is low. Effective and comprehensive nutrition interventions should be actively carried out for primary and secondary school students, while considering multiple dimensions such as schools, families and society, so as to encourage students to adopt a healthy diet.

This study was aimed to identify and distinguish Metacordyceps liangshanensis recorded by the Sichuan Province Traditional Chinese Medicine Standard from its adulterants and its relative species by combining ITS and COI barcode sequences in order to study the feasibility of this new method. After extracting DNA of 28 species of Cordyceps samples, DNA were amplified and sequenced. And then, ITS and COI sequences were received. Codon-Code Aligner V3.7.1 and Mega 5.0 were used to analyze the variable site and construct the N-J tree. The results showed that the minimum ITS inter-specific K-2P distance was relatively higher than the maximum intra-specific K-2P distance. The inter-specific sequence divergence between M. liangshanensis and its adulterants exhibited high while intra-specific sequence divergence exhibited low. And COI one was the same case. N-J tree of both ITS and COI indicated that same genus belonged together and each species belonged to relatively independent branch. It was concluded that based on the ITS and COI gene, the technology of DNA barcode can be an excellent identification of M. liangshanensis, its adulterants and its relative species. It provided technical support for the further research on species molecular identification and phylogenetics of Cordyceps .

Objective To study the expression and significance of multidrug resistance gene (MDR1) in children with refractory epilepsy (RE). Methods Children with RE (n = 30), non-RE (n = 30) and healthy children (n=30) were collected. The expression of MDR1-mRNA in peripheral blood was analyzed by fluorescence quantitative PCR. The relationship of MDRI-mRNA with epileptic frequency and numbers of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) were observed. Results The expression of MDR1 in RE group obviously increased when compared with that of non-RE group and healthy group (P < 0.01, P < 0.01) ; MDR1 expression was more among patients with high frequent epilepsy than patients with low frequent epilepsy (P < 0.01) ; more in patients administered with four kinds of AEDs than those with two or three kinds of AEDs (P < 0.01). Concinsions MDR1 overexpression in blood of children with RE may be linked to drug-resistant mechanism of RE. It might be used as a clinical indicator of RE.

Objective To explore the effects of surgery treatment on the diagnostic delay of Crohn's dis-ease(CD)in early stage. Methods The effects of surgical operation on diagnostic delay of early stage CD were an-alyzed,and the risk factors that in high surgical rate on early diagnosis were evaluated by comparing the surgical cases with non-surgical cases before the diagnosis of CD.Results The ratio of male and female in the total 215 pa-tients with CD was 1.7 to 1.There were 114 cases with complications including 75 cases with surgery before diagno-sis,39 cases with non-surgical complications and 101 cases with no complications.The age of onset and age of di-agnosis in the three groups were significantly different(P < 0.05),and there was no significant difference in the time of diagnosis(P > 0.05). The most common complications were perianal lesion(p,abscesses and/or fistula) (49.1%),intestinal obstruction(23.7%),and the diseases of appendix(12.3%).The most common causes of pre-operative diagnosis were perianal lesion(38.7%),the lesion of appendix(17.3%),intestinal obstruction(16.0%) and the abdominal surgery(10.5%)whereas intestinal perforation is most easily recognized by histopathology. The rate of male surgery was high whereas the incidence of female complications was low. All three groups of lesions were found to be in ileocolon(L3)in which the operation group with pure small intestine was significantly higher than that in the group with no complications and in the group with non-surgical complications(P<0.05).Also the proportion of diseases behaving stricturing(B2)+penetrating(B3)was 60%,but the complication group behaving inflammatory(B1)+B2 was 87.2%,the group with no complications behaving B1 reached 68.3%.and The compli-cation group behaving P was 61.5% which was higher than the operation group(44.0%).There was a significant dif-ference between the three groups(P<0.001).Conclusions Diagnostic delay of CD on the early was significantly associated with surgery operation. Male,age 17~40,lesion site L3 or intestinal-type,disease behaving B2 and B3,were the high risk factors for preoperative surgery;while women,aged 17-40,with or without chronic compli-cations,were more likely to obtain early diagnosis,less surgical risk,and relatively good prognosis.Perianal lesion were early characteristic expressions of CD and could be used as an regularization indicator for screening.The sec-ond was the recurrent intestinal obstruction.most of the stomach resection and the repeated diarrhea after gallblad-der should be awared of CD.
