Objective: To investigate the status and influencing factors of platelet bacterial contamination in China, and to provide theoretical support for relevant policies in blood collection and transfusion institutions. Methods: A meta-analysis by systematically searching studies on platelet bacterial contamination in China published between 1998 and 2023 was conducted. Data analysis was performed using R4.4 software to combine studies that met the inclusion criteria. Results: Twenty-three studies were included after screening. The combined analysis showed that the overall contamination rate of platelets in China was 0.18% (95% CI: 0.12%-0.24%). The contamination rate of manually condensed platelets was significantly higher than that of apheresis platelet concentrates (0.28% vs 0.17%, P<0.01). No significant difference in platelet contamination rates was found between eastern and central regions (0.21% vs 0.15%, P>0.01). The contamination rate of aerobic bacteria was higher than that of anaerobic bacteria (0.11% vs 0.06%, P<0.01). Publication bias analysis indicated robust results, and sensitivity analysis showed minimal impact of excluding individual studies on the overall conclusion. Conclusion: Although the platelet contamination rate in China is generally low, significant differences exist across collection methods and regions.

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.

Ameloblastoma is a benign tumor characterized by locally invasive phenotypes,leading to facial bone destruction and a high recurrence rate.However,the mechanisms governing tumor initiation and recurrence are poorly understood.Here,we uncovered cellular landscapes and mechanisms that underlie tumor recurrence in ameloblastoma at single-cell resolution.Our results revealed that ameloblastoma exhibits five tumor subpopulations varying with respect to immune response(IR),bone remodeling(BR),tooth development(TD),epithelial development(ED),and cell cycle(CC)signatures.Of note,we found that CC ameloblastoma cells were endowed with stemness and contributed to tumor recurrence,which was dominated by the EZH2-mediated program.Targeting EZH2 effectively eliminated CC ameloblastoma cells and inhibited tumor growth in ameloblastoma patient-derived organoids.These data described the tumor subpopulation and clarified the identity,function,and regulatory mechanism of CC ameloblastoma cells,providing a potential therapeutic target for ameloblastoma.

To improve the understanding of clinicians on the diagnostic criteria and treatment principlis of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis(PAP),which is a rare respiratory disease.European Respiratory Society published the first edition guidelines for PAP,including a systematic review of the literature and the application of the grading of recommendations,assessment,development and evaluation(GRADE)approach to assess the certainty of evidence and the strength of recommendations.Five questions of patient,intervention,comparison,outcome(PICO)and two narrative questions were developed.Recommendations and evidence-based evidence were given,including management of PAP,whole lung lavage,granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor(GM-CSF)therapy,rituximab,plasma exchange,and lung transplantation.In addition,recommendations were given for the use of GM-CSF antibody testing,bronchoalveolar lavage,and lung biopsy.This study is to interpret the main content of the guideline.

OBJECTIVE: To review targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) surgery for the construction of intelligent prosthetic human-machine interface, thus providing a new clinical intervention paradigm for the functional reconstruction of residual limbs in amputees. METHODS: Extensively consulted relevant literature domestically and abroad and systematically expounded the surgical requirements of intelligent prosthetics, TMR operation plan, target population, prognosis, as well as the development and future of TMR. RESULTS: TMR facilitates intuitive control of intelligent prostheses in amputees by reconstructing the "brain-spinal cord-peripheral nerve-skeletal muscle" neurotransmission pathway and increasing the surface electromyographic signals required for pattern recognition. TMR surgery for different purposes is suitable for different target populations. CONCLUSION TMR surgery has been certified abroad as a transformative technology for improving prosthetic manipulation, and is expected to become a new clinical paradigm for 2 million amputees in China.

Ferroptosis is a newly discovered method of programmed cell death. Current studies have shown that activation of ferroptosis-related pathways can inhibit the growth and proliferation of tumor cells and reverse their drug resistance. Oral cancer is a common malignant tumor with a high recurrence rate and high drug resistance. Inducing ferroptosis is a potential treatment strategy. There are still many uncertainties in the application of ferroptosis in the treatment of oral cancer, which need to be further explored. This article systematically introduces the mechanism of ferroptosis and its recent progress in oral cancer treatment to provide new mechanisms and methods for the clinical treatment of oral cancer. Current research shows that the mechanism of ferroptosis is mainly related to amino acid metabolism, Fe2+ metabolism, and lipid metabolism. Ferroptosis in oral cancer cells can reverse drug resistance in cancer cells and improve the activity of immune cells. New drugs, such as curcumin analogs and triptolide, can induce ferroptosis in oral cancer, and the development of nanomaterials has improved the utilization rate of drugs. Inhibiting the expression of the ferroptosis-related factors SLC7A11, NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and ferritin heavy chain 1 (FTH1) can promote ferroptosis in oral cancer cells. It is a potential target for the clinical treatment of oral cancer, but its translation into clinical practice still needs further research.

Objective:To conduct quality evaluation and content analysis of adult postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) guidelines, so as to provide reference for management of clinical PONV.Methods:Web of Science, Embase, PubMed, UpToDate, SinoMed, Wanfang Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, domestic and foreign clinical practice guidelines and related professional association websites were systematically searched, and the search period was from database establishment to May 6, 2022. Four researchers independently evaluated the guidelines that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria using a clinical guideline research and evaluation system, and summarized the recommendations of the guidelines.Results:Finally, a total of 15 guidelines were included in this study. The overall quality evaluation of the guide was 3 A-level recommendations and 12 B-level recommendations. The average standardization percentages for 6 areas were 81.57% for scope and purpose, 49.91% for participants, 65.38% for rigor, 89.54% for clarity, 34.86% for applicability and 55.42% for independence. A total of 18 recommendations were summarized from five aspects, such as team and organizational management, PONV risk assessment, baseline risk reduction, multimodal prevention of PONV and effectiveness evaluation and monitoring.Conclusions:The guidelines for PONV management mainly come from foreign countries. It is recommended that clinical personnel should learn from foreign guidelines and combine them with domestic clinical situations to localize the recommended opinions and guide the development of clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic mechanism of high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in treating mild amnestic cognitive impairment (aMCI).Methods:Twenty-five patients with aMCI were randomly divided into an observation group of 13 and a control group of 12. The observation group was given 10-Hz rTMS over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex at 80% of the motor threshold-400 pulses a day, 5 times a week for 4 consecutive weeks. The control group received sham stimulation on the same schedule. Before and after the experiment, both groups were evaluated using the Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) and received fMRI scans.Results:After the intervention, the average MoCA score of the observation group had improved significantly more compared with that of the control group and compared with before the intervention. According to the fMRI results, regional homogeneity in the right middle frontal gyrus of the observation group had increased significantly, while that of the control group both there and in the left precuneus had decreased significantly.Conclusions:High-frequency rTMS can effectively improve the cognitive function of patients with aMCI and synchronize neuron activity in cognition-related brain regions.

BACKGROUND: Platelet-rich plasma has been used in the treatment of wounds in orthopedics, burn and plastic surgery, and has achieved good results. But its therapeutic effect in diabetic foot ulcers is still controversial. OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of platelet-rich plasma in diabetic foot ulcer. METHODS: PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, and VIP databases were searched for a randomized controlled trial of platelet-rich plasma for treating diabetic foot ulcers published before September 2018. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software after two investigators independently screened the literature, extracted the data, and assessed the risk of bias in the included studies. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Sixteen randomized controlled trials were included, including 925 patients. The trial group was treated with platelet-rich plasma alone or platelet-rich plasma combined with conventional therapy (debridement, vacuum sealing drainage, or dressing coverage) . The control group received routine treatment, blank control or placebo treatment. (2) Meta-analysis showed that the healing rate in the trial group was higher than that in the control group [OR=3.05, 95％CI (2.25, 4.13) , P < 0.000 01]; effective rate was higher than that in the control group [OR=3.84, 95％CI (2.44, 6.06) , P < 0.000 01]; the ulcer healing time was shorter than that in the control group [MD=-11.39, 95％CI (-13.45, -9.34) , P < 0.000 01]; the cost of treatment was lower than that in the control group [MD=-5 927.76, 95％CI (-10 413.04, -1 442.49) , P=0.010]; and the hospitalization time was less than that in the control group [MD=-14.77, 95％CI (-18.82, -10.73) , P < 0.000 01]. (3) Four studies reported adverse reactions, but adverse reactions were not associated with platelet-rich plasma. (4) These results suggest that platelet-rich plasma has a good clinical effect in promoting the healing of diabetic foot ulcers, and no adverse reactions occur. Due to limitations in the quantity and quality of the studies, the above conclusions are yet to be verified by more high-quality studies.
