Tissue-resident memory T cells （T_RM cells） are a subset of memory T cells that reside in tissues， exhibit tissue specificity， and do not recirculate. When potential hazards threaten the liver， such as pathogen invasion （bacteria， viruses， etc.） and excessive autoimmune responses， T_RM cells are essential as the first line of immune defense， playing an important role in viral hepatitis， autoimmune liver disease， metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease， liver cirrhosis， and liver transplantation. Here， we present the immunophenotypes of T_RM cells in the liver and their surface markers and transcriptional profiles， aiming to clarify the role of T_RM cells in chronic liver diseases and explore their potential function as therapeutic targets in immunotherapy.

HDAC7, a member of class IIa HDACs, plays a pivotal regulatory role in tumor, immune, fibrosis, and angiogenesis, rendering it a potential therapeutic target. Nevertheless, due to the high similarity in the enzyme active sites of class IIa HDACs, inhibitors encounter challenges in discerning differences among them. Furthermore, the substitution of key residue in the active pocket of class IIa HDACs renders them pseudo-enzymes, leading to a limited impact of enzymatic inhibitors on their function. In this study, proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) technology was employed to develop HDAC7 drugs. We developed an exceedingly selective HDAC7 PROTAC degrader B14 which showcased superior inhibitory effects on cell proliferation compared to TMP269 in various diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. Subsequent investigations unveiled that B14 disrupts BCL6 forming a transcriptional inhibition complex by degrading HDAC7, thereby exerting proliferative inhibition in DLBCL. Our study broadened the understanding of the non-enzymatic functions of HDAC7 and underscored the importance of HDAC7 in the treatment of hematologic malignancies, particularly in DLBCL and AML.

Pulpotomy, which belongs to vital pulp therapy, has become a strategy for managing pulpitis in recent decades. This minimally invasive treatment reflects the recognition of preserving healthy dental pulp and optimizing long-term patient-centered outcomes. Pulpotomy is categorized into partial pulpotomy (PP), the removal of a partial segment of the coronal pulp tissue, and full pulpotomy (FP), the removal of whole coronal pulp, which is followed by applying the biomaterials onto the remaining pulp tissue and ultimately restoring the tooth. Procedural decisions for the amount of pulp tissue removal or retention depend on the diagnostic of pulp vitality, the overall treatment plan, the patient's general health status, and pulp inflammation reassessment during operation. This statement represents the consensus of an expert committee convened by the Society of Cariology and Endodontics, Chinese Stomatological Association. It addresses the current evidence to support the application of pulpotomy as a potential alternative to root canal treatment (RCT) on mature permanent teeth with pulpitis from a biological basis, the development of capping biomaterial, and the diagnostic considerations to evidence-based medicine. This expert statement intends to provide a clinical protocol of pulpotomy, which facilitates practitioners in choosing the optimal procedure and increasing their confidence in this rapidly evolving field.

Intentional tooth replantation (ITR) is an advanced treatment modality and the procedure of last resort for preserving teeth with inaccessible endodontic or resorptive lesions. ITR is defined as the deliberate extraction of a tooth; evaluation of the root surface, endodontic manipulation, and repair; and placement of the tooth back into its original socket. Case reports, case series, cohort studies, and randomized controlled trials have demonstrated the efficacy of ITR in the retention of natural teeth that are untreatable or difficult to manage with root canal treatment or endodontic microsurgery. However, variations in clinical protocols for ITR exist due to the empirical nature of the original protocols and rapid advancements in the field of oral biology and dental materials. This heterogeneity in protocols may cause confusion among dental practitioners; therefore, guidelines and considerations for ITR should be explicated. This expert consensus discusses the biological foundation of ITR, the available clinical protocols and current status of ITR in treating teeth with refractory apical periodontitis or anatomical aberration, and the main complications of this treatment, aiming to refine the clinical management of ITR in accordance with the progress of basic research and clinical studies; the findings suggest that ITR may become a more consistent evidence-based option in dental treatment.

Objective:To analyze the expression of silent information regulator 2-related enzyme 1 (SIRT1) and its relationship with chondrocyte apoptosis in patients with Kashin-Beck disease (KBD).Methods:Twenty patients with KBD were selected as the KBD group from Guide County, Qinghai Province, and 40 healthy subjects matched by age and sex were selected as the control group. Fasting elbow venous blood of the study subjects was collected, and peripheral blood mRNA levels of SIRT1 and selenoprotein genes [glutathione peroxidase (GPX) 2, GPX3, thioredoxin reductase (TXNRD) 1, TXNRD3, iodothyronine deiodinase Ⅰ (DIO1), and selenophosphate synthetase 2 (SPS2)] were detected by real-time PCR. The correlation between SIRT1 expression and selenoprotein genes in peripheral blood of KBD patients was analyzed by curve fitting method. Meanwhile, normal human chondrocytes cultured in vitro were divided into control group (without any treatment), resveratrol (RES) group (to verify the activation effect of RES on SIRT1), tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBHP) injury group (oxidative injury model of chondrocyte), and RES protection group (tBHP injury after RES pre protection). The mRNA levels of SIRT1, selenoprotein genes, and apoptosis-related genes [B lymphoblastoma-2 gene (BCL2), BCL2-associated X protein (BAX), nuclear transcription factor κB (NF-κB) p65, and tumor suppressor gene P53] in each group of cells were detected by real-time PCR. Results:In the population study, the peripheral blood SIRT1 mRNA level in the KBD group (1.12 ± 0.38) was lower than that of control group (1.87 ± 0.97), and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 3.31, P = 0.002). According to curve fitting analysis, the mRNA levels of GPX3, TXNRD1, and TXNRD3 in peripheral blood of KBD group increased with the increase of SIRT1 mRNA level ( R2 = 0.48, 0.66, 0.95, P < 0.001). The level of DIO1 mRNA showed a trend of decreased first and then increased with the increase of SIRT1 mRNA level ( R2 = 0.51, P = 0.024). The mRNA levels of GPX2 and SPS2 showed no significant change trend with the increase of SIRT1 mRNA level ( R2 = 0.16, 0.12, P = 0.064, 0.114). In cell studies, compared with the control group (1.00 ± 0.10), the SIRT1 mRNA level in the RES group (1.79 ± 0.07) was higher ( P < 0.05). Compared with tBHP injury group, the RES protection group had higher mRNA levels of selenoprotein genes GPX3, TXNRD1, TXNRD3, and DIO1 ( P < 0.05); the mRNA levels of apoptosis-related genes BAX, P53 and the ratio of BAX/BCL2 were lower, while the mRNA levels of BCL2 and NF-κB p65 were higher ( P < 0.05). Conclusions:KBD patients have low expression of SIRT1. And RES activation of SIRT1 may enhance the antioxidant capacity of chondrocyte by up-regulating the expression of selenoprotein genes, thus inhibiting chondrocyte apoptosis.

Objective:To investigate the role of oxidative stress and silent information regulator 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1) in cartilage injury in Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) by evaluating the level of oxidative stress and the effect of oxidative injury on SIRT1 expression in patients with KBD.Methods:In May 2017, Twenty patients with KBD were selected from Guide County of Qinghai Province as the KBD group, and 40 healthy subjects were selected as the control group, 5 ml elbow venous blood was collected, centrifuged, and the upper plasma was retained. The glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activity and reactive oxygen species (ROS) level were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and SIRT1 mRNA level was determined by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Meanwhile, 150 μmol/L tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBHP) was selected to damage chondrocytes; and different concentrations of sodium selenite (Na 2SeO 3) were used to intervene in chondrocytes to detect cell viability, and appropriate concentration of Na 2SeO 3 was selected for pre protection. Total RNA and DNA of chondrocytes were extracted. The mRNA levels of SIRT1, DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1), and the DNA methylation level in the SIRT1 promoter region were determined by RT-qPCR. At the same time, Hoechst 33342 staining was used to detect chondrocyte apoptosis. Results:The plasma GPX activity [(35.48 ± 8.82) U/g·Hb] in KBD group was lower than that in control group [(40.43 ± 6.68) U/g·Hb, t = - 2.43, P = 0.018], and the ROS level [(577.10 ± 96.92) U/ml] was higher than that in control group [(526.44 ± 62.63) U/ml, t = 2.13, P = 0.043]. GPX activity was positively correlated with SIRT1 mRNA level ( r s = 0.44, P = 0.005), while ROS level was negatively correlated with SIRT1 mRNA level ( r s = - 0.39, P = 0.006). After 48 hours of treatment with 150 μmol/L tBHP (tBHP injury group), the survival rate of chondrocytes decreased to (55.27 ± 2.96)%; and the survival rate of chondrocytes pre-protected with 0.10 μg/ml Na 2SeO 3 (selenium protection group) was significantly higher than that of tBHP injury group ( P < 0.05). Compared with control group, the SIRT1 mRNA level of chondrocytes in tBHP injury group was significantly decreased; while the DNA methylation level in the SIRT1 promoter region, DNMT1 mRNA level and cell apoptosis rate were significantly increased ( P < 0.05). Compared with tBHP injury group, the selenium protection group had higher levels of SIRT1 mRNA in chondrocytes, lower levels of DNA methylation in the SIRT1 promoter region, DNMT1 mRNA, and cell apoptosis rate ( P < 0.05). The apoptosis rate was negatively correlated with SIRT1 mRNA level ( r s = - 0.78, P = 0.004), and positively correlated with the DNA methylation level in the SIRT1 promoter region ( r s = 0.76, P = 0.006). Conclusions:KBD patients have increased levels of oxidative stress, which may be associated with low expression of SIRT1. Oxidative injury may down-regulate SIRT1 expression and promote chondrocytes apoptosis by catalyzing DNA methylation in the SIRT1 promoter region.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective To design a multisensory supported device and evaluate its effectiveness on preterm infants(born before 34 weeks)during NICU hospitalization.Methods The multisensory supported device is composed of a basement,several soft cushions and an adjustable eye mask.The inner layer of the device comprises of the head and tail boundaries,serves as uterine wall-like circular boundaries.The outer skeleton is equipped with multisensory stimulation modules to provide visual,hearing,and tactile sensory stimulations for premature infants.The study was conducted in a NICU of a tertiary A children specialist hospital in Shanghai,China.The convenience sampling method was used and based on the ratio of 1∶2 between the experimental and the control group in this study.The control group was treated by standard nursing care,while the experiment group was treated with the multisensory supported device in addition to NICU conventional care.All infants were assessed during the week of admission and again at corrected gestational age of 36 weeks.The actigraphy watch which was used for 72 hours continuous record of the activities of study infants,allows the researcher to compare the activity scores,wakefulness and sleep indicators of 2 groups of infants.Results 71 preterm infants were enrolled in the study,and 60 preterm infants completed data collection for study data analysis,including 20 in the experimental group and 40 in the control group.There were no statistical differences in demographic characteristics and clinical status regarding wakefulness,sleep and physical development between the 2 groups in baseline(P＞0.05).At 36 weeks of corrected gestational age,the activity score of the experimental group was(46.61±12.14)points,and that of the control group was(57.33±18.36)points,with statistically significant differences in 2 groups(P=0.024).The total waking time of the experimental group was(384.85±169.42)min,and that of the control group was(492.08±220.45)min,with statistically significant differences in 2 groups(P=0.049).There was no statistical difference in other indicators between 2 groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion The multisensory supported device can reduce high-frequency unpleasant activity as well as frequent wakefulness status,which could promote the sleeping quality of preterm infants.Further studies are needed to verify further effects of the device on premature infants'physical development.

Objective:Adverse cardiovascular events are the leading cause of death in peritoneal dialysis patients.Identifying indicators that can predict adverse cardiovascular events in these patients is crucial for prognosis.This study aims to assess the value of dual-specificity phosphatase 6(DUSP6)in peripheral blood mononuclear cells as a predictor of adverse cardiovascular events after peritoneal dialysis in diabetic nephropathy patients. Methods:A total of 124 diabetic nephropathy patients underwent peritoneal dialysis treatment at the Department of Nephrology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University from June to September 2022 were selected as study subjects.The levels of DUSP6 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells were determined using Western blotting.Patients were categorized into high-level and low-level DUSP6 groups based on the median DUSP6 level.Differences in body mass index,serum albumin,high-sensitivity C-reactive protein,and dialysis duration were compared between the 2 groups.Pearson,Spearman,and multiple linear regression analyses were performed to examine factors related to DUSP6.Patients were followed up to monitor the occurrence of adverse cardiovascular events,and risk factors for adverse cardiovascular events after peritoneal dialysis were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression. Results:By the end of the follow-up,33(26.61%)patients had experienced at least one adverse cardiovascular event.The high-level DUSP6 group had higher body mass index,longer dialysis duration,and higher high-sensitivity C-reactive protein,but lower serum albumin levels compared to the low-level DUSP6 group(all P<0.05).DUSP6 was negatively correlated with serum albumin levels(r=-0.271,P=0.002)and positively correlated with dialysis duration(rs=0.406,P<0.001)and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(rs=0.367,P<0.001).Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that dialysis duration and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein were independently correlated with DUSP6 levels(both P<0.05).The cumulative incidence of adverse cardiovascular events was higher in the high-level DUSP6 group than in the low-level DUSP6 group(46.67%vs 7.81%,P<0.001).Cox regression analysis indicated that low serum albumin levels(HR=0.836,95%CI 0.778 to 0.899),high high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(HR=1.409,95%CI 1.208 to 1.644),and high DUSP6(HR=6.631,95%CI 2.352 to 18.693)were independent risk factors for adverse cardiovascular events in peritoneal dialysis patients. Conclusion:Dialysis duration and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein are independently associated with DUSP6 levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of diabetic nephropathy patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis.High DUSP6 levels indicate a higher risk of adverse cardiovascular events.

Objective To investigate the oral health status of the first-grade primary school students in Shanghai and analyze its influencing factors.Methods In 2021,Huangpu,Xuhui,Jiading,and Jing'an districts were selected in Shanghai by random sampling method.The first-grade students of 8 primary schools in these 4 districts were enrolled by random cluster sampling.Oral clinical examinations and questionnaires were conducted according to the criteria of the Fourth National Oral Health Epidemiological Survey.EpiData 3.1 software was used to create the database.SPSS 26.0 software was applied for statistical analysis.Chi-square test was used to compare the caries prevalence between groups,and two independent samples non-parametric test was used to compare the decayed,missing and filled teeth(DMFT)between groups.Multifactorial logistic regression model was used to analyzse the influencing factors of caries.Results A total of 824 informed consent forms and questionnaires were collected,of which 764 were completed,with an effective rate of 92.7％.The total caries prevalence of the participating students was 65.6％(501/764),and the mean DMFT was 3.24±3.47.A total of 2 473 carious teeth were found in the participating students,and 671 teeth were filled,with a filling rate of 27.1％.There were 7.91±2.76 permanent teeth erupted per student,and 56.3％(430/764)of the students had all 4 first permanent molars erupted.Multivariate logistic regression showed that eating sweets＞3 times a day(P=0.030),eating regularly before bedtime(P=0.001),and parents'cognition of kids'poor oral health status(P=0.025)were the influencing factors for the detection of caries in children.Conclusion The first-grade primary school students in Shanghai have high prevalence of caries.Eating sweets＞3 times a day,eating regularly before bedtime,and parents'cognition of kids'poor oral health status(P＜0.05)are the influencing factors for the detection of caries in children.
