Objective: To explore the relationship between serum levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE) and calciifc aortic valve disease (CAVD) in relevant patients.
Methods: A total of 394 patients were enrolled in our study. Based on echocardiography presentation, the patients were divided into 2 groups: CAVD group,n=169 and Non-CAVD group,n=225. Serum levels of IgE were examined by chemiluminescence method. The IgE levels were compared between 2 groups and the relationship between serum IgE level and CAVD was analyzed.
Results: Serum levels of IgE in CAVD group was significantly higher than Non-CAVD group 113.30 IU/ml vs 63.76 IU/ml (P<0.05); multivariate logistic regression analysis conifrmed above difference (P<0.05) and it also indicated that the alteration of surum IgE level is obviously related to CAVD occurrence.
Conclusion: Serum IgE level is obviously increased in CAVD patients. IgE is an independent biochemical indicator of CAVD, it may play the important role in CAVD pathogenesis.

Objective This study aims to compare the accuracy of self-developed universal implant guide(SDG),3D printed digital guide(DG),and free hand(FH)simulated implantation in the posterior tooth area of dental models.Methods Ten junior dentists were selected to place three implants in the 35,37,and 46 tooth sites of the mandibular models(35,36,37,and 46 missing teeth)by using SDG,DG,and FH,and the process was repeated again to take the av-erage value.Cone beam computed tomography(CBCT)was used to evaluate the global coronal deviation,global apical deviation,depth deviation,and angular deviation between the actual position and preoperative planned position.Re-sults The coronal deviation and apical deviation of the three implant sites in the SDG group were not significantly dif-ferent from those in the two other groups(P>0.05).The depth deviation and angular deviation in the SDG group were smaller than those in the DG group(P<0.05)and FH group(P<0.05),respectively.All deviations at site 37 in the SDG group were not different from those at site 35(P>0.05),while the depth and angular deviation at site 37 in the DG group were higher than those at site 35(P<0.05).Conclusion The precision of the self-developed universal dental im-plant guide can meet the requirements of clinical posteri-or implantation.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of Zuogui Pills (ZGP) on improving the stemness of ovarian germline stem cells (OSCs) in ovarian aging rats through the gap junction protein connexin 43 (Cx43) phosphorylation based on the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/AKT) pathway. Methods Eight-week-old female SD rats were randomly divided into control(CON),model(cyclophosphamide,CTX),ZGP and dehydroepiandrosterone(DHEA) groups,six rats in each group. CTX was injected intraperitoneally for 15 days to establish a model for ovarian aging,and then ZGP (1.85 g·kg-1) or DHEA (8.1 mg·kg-1) was administered by gavage once daily for 30 days. Follicle count at different stages and pathological changes of ovarian tissues were observed by HE staining. ELISA was used to detect serum levels of anti-mullerian hormone (AMH),follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH),and estradiol(E2). The expression levels of related proteins (PCNA,MVH,Oct4,Cx43,p-Cx43,EGFR,AKT、p-AKT) in ovarian tissue were detected by Western Blot. Results Compared with the CON group,rats in CTX group had significantly reduced body mass(P<0.05) and ovarian mass(P<0.05). The number of primordial follicles decreased significantly(P<0.01). Serum FSH level increased remarkably(P<0.01),while AMH and E2 levels showed a downward trend (P>0.05). The protein expressions of Oct4,MVH,PCNA,EGFR,p-AKT/AKT,p-Cx43(Ser368)/Cx43 and Cx43 in ovarian tissue were obviously decreased(P<0.05,P<0.01). Compared with the model group,the body mass of rats in ZGP group was significantly increased (P<0.05),as well as ovarian mass and ovarian coefficient were remarkably increased (P<0.01). The number of primordial follicles were increased significantly (P<0.01),and E2 level increased significantly (P<0.05). The protein expressions of Oct4,MVH,PCNA,EGFR,p-AKT/AKT,p-Cx43(Ser368)/Cx43 and Cx43 in ovarian tissue were all increased significantly (P<0.05,P<0.01). Conclusion ZGP may ameliorate ovarian aging by maintaining the stemness of OSCs. Its mechanism of actions is related to the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and gap junction protein phosphorylation.
