Complete dentures can be fabricated by cutting and grinding the resin in one step.It is worth trying to manufacture removable partial dentures through simulating this approach to minimize manual fabrication as much as possible.This article reports on a case where a digitally designed and milled removable partial denture was made from a cuttable resin.After a two-month postoperative follow-up,there was no significant pain or discomfort in the soft or hard tissues.This preliminary study suggests that this digital restoration plan could a-chieve good restoration results and can be further clinically promoted.

Objective To study the effect of wall thickness on the accuracy(trueness and precision)of 3D printed models.Methods The 3D scanning data of the standard gypsum dental arch model was imported into Exocad software.And four sets of models were de-signed,including horseshoe shaped solid model and horseshoe shaped hollow models with different wall thicknesses(2 mm,3 mm,4 mm).On the first and seventh day after printing,the 3D scanning data of resin models were imported into Geomagic software.Deviation analysis were performed on 3D printed models for the root mean square(root mean square,RMS).Results The trueness range of the four groups of printed models on the first day was(34.63±4.17)μm to(45.26±6.50)μm,there was no statistical difference.The pre-cision range was(30.25±10.18)μm to(47.65±14.77)μm,and the precision of the solid group was lower than the other three groups(P<0.05).The trueness range of the four groups of printing models on the 7th day was(49.00±9.11)μm to(69.25±9.70)μm.The trueness of the 2 mm wall thickness group was lower than that of the solid group and the 4 mum wall thickness group(P<0.05).Con-clusion The accuracy of printing models with different wall thicknesses was within the clinical acceptance range.There was no statisti-cally significant difference in the trueness values of the four groups of printing models on the first day.The precision value of the solid group was the lowest.On the 7th day,the trueness of the wall thickness of 2 mm group was lower than that of the solid group and the 4 mum wall thickness group.

Objective:To evaluate the changes in left ventricular structure and function in pregnant women with different severities of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy(HDP)using conventional echocardiographic parameters,strain,and tissue-tracking mitral annulus displacement(TMAD)parameters,and to validate and compare the application value of strain and TMAD parameters.Methods:A total of 148 singleton pregnant women with HDP and 100 healthy pregnant women(HP group)who attended the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from October 2023 to July 2024 were selected. Conventional echocardiographic parameters,strain,and TMAD parameters were collected. Based on the severity of the disease,HDP patients were divided into the gestational hypertension group(GH group, n=49),non-severe preeclampsia group(NSPE group, n=35),and severe preeclampsia group(SPE group, n=64). The differences in various parameters between the HP,GH,NSPE,and SPE groups were compared. The correlation between the displacement ratio of the midpoint of the mitral valve annulus in the apical 4-chamber(AP4 Midpt%),the displacement ratio of the midpoint of the mitral valve annulus in the apical 2-chamber(AP2 Midpt%)and left ventricular global longitudinal strain(LVGLS)were analyzed,and ROC curves were plotted to analyze and compare the diagnostic efficacies of LVGLS,AP4 Midpt% and AP2 Midpt% for left ventricular function changes in HDP pregnant women. Results:① The analysis revealed no statistically significant differences in maternal age and height between the HP group and the HDP subgroups(all P>0.05). In contrast,statistically significant differences were observed in gestational age,systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,body mass index,and body surface area(all P<0.05). Additionally,significant differences were noted in left ventricular mass,left ventricular interventricular septum thickness at end-diastole,left ventricular posterior wall thickness at end-diastole,left ventricular end-diastolic dimension,left ventricular end-systolic dimension,left ventricular end-diastolic volume,left ventricular end-systolic volume,and stroke volume between the HP group and the HDP subgroups(all P<0.05),while the difference in left ventricular ejection fraction was not statistically significant( P>0.05). ② Significant differences were identified in strain and TMAD parameters between the HP group and the HDP subgroups(all P<0.05),with LVGLS,AP4 Midpt% and AP2 Midpt% exhibited the largest effect sizes( η p2=0.457,0.453,0.351). A progressive decline in strain and TMAD parameters was observed as the severity of HDP increased. ③ There were strong positive correlations between AP4 Midpt%,AP2 Midpt% and LVGLS( r=0.752,0.747;all P<0.001). ④ LVGLS,AP4 Midpt% and AP2 Midpt% all demonstrated significant diagnostic efficacies for changes in left ventricular function in HDP(AUC=0.840,0.847,0.791),and the differences in AUC among the 3 curves were not statistically significant(all P>0.05).⑤ The success rate of collecting TMAD parameters was significantly higher than that of strain parameters(99.24% vs. 93.58%, P<0.001). Conclusions:As the severity of the disease worsens,the changes of left ventricular structure and function in pregnant women with HDP become more and more significant. Both strain and TMAD parameters can early and sensitively identify the subclinical damage of left ventricular systolic function in HDP pregnant women,and both of them have the same diagnostic value. TMAD parameters can be used as a reliable substitute parameter of LVGLS in HDP pregnant women.

Glioma is the most common primary malignant tumor of the central nervous system in adults. Despite the standard treatment of surgery combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the prognosis for high-grade glioma patients remains poor, highlighting the urgent need to further explore its pathogenesis and develop new therapeutic strategies. This article reviews the research progress in the field of glioma in China in 2024, covering tumorigenesis mechanisms, tumor immune microenvironment composition, advances in imaging techniques and novel imaging agents, improvements in surgical approaches, mechanisms of radio- and chemoresistance, and explorations of new therapeutic modalities. These studies provide a solid theoretical foundation for advancing clinical diagnosis and treatment of gliomas and may offer new opportunities to improve patient outcomes.
