Objective To access the expression of germ P16 in cervical cancer patients , find out the connection between with the expression in germ of P16 and the prognosis of cervical cancer , and discuss whether P16 can role as an indicator to predict the prognosis. Methods The pathological sections of all 74 cases were tested for the presence of P16 germ , using an immunohistochemistry technique. And the results were analyzed to investigate the value of P16 on the prediction of prognosis of cervical cancer. Results Of all 74 cervical cancer cases, there are 63 cases show positive expression of P16, with the positive expression rate of 85% (63/74). The positive expression of gene P16 is associated with the prognosis of cervical cancer (P = 0.041). The cumulative survival rate for two years of the positive expression set is 85.2%, and the negative set 100%, which is statistically significant (P = 0.043). Positiveexpression of P16 is closely related (P < 0.05) with clinical stages LVSI and interstitial infiltrates, but is irrelevant (P > 0.05) with TNM and histological differentiation. Conclusions We suggest that the expression of germ P16 is closely connected prognosis in cervical cancer , and it might be used as one of indicator to predict the prognosis of cervical cancer.

Objective This study aimed to estimate the therapeutic effects of preformed metal crown(PMC)and pre-fabricated zirconia crowns(ZC)on decayed primary morals in children,as well as to analyze the possible influencing fac-tors.Methods A retrospective cohort study was performed on the data of 192 patients(aged 3 to 8)in the Stomatologi-cal Department of Shenzhen Children's Hospital from October 2021 to December 2021.The decayed mandibular first molars were selected and restored by vital-pulp therapy followed by PMC and ZC,including 96 cases(96 caries)in the PMC group and 96 cases(96 caries)in the ZC group.Oral clinical examination was performed at 3 months,1 year,and 2 years after treatment,overwiewing the clinical therapeu-tic effects and periodontal status of PMC and ZC groups,as well as recording the crown integrity,gingival index(GI),probing bleeding index(BI),plaque index(PLI)and various prosthetic indices.Results No significance differences existed in the periodontal status of PMC and ZC groups at 3 months,1 year,and 2 years after treatment(P>0.05).However,the GI,BI,and PLI in the PMC group were higher than those in the ZC group at 3 months,1 year,and 2 years after treatment,and the difference was dramatically signifi-cant(P<0.05).No significances difference existed in various prosthetic indices(P>0.05),as well as in the GI,BI,and PLI,between the two groups(P>0.05).No significant differences existed in various prosthetic indices between genders after PMC restoration(P>0.05).The scores of girls in various prosthetic indices after ZC restoration were higher than those of boys(P<0.05).Pearson correlation analysis indicated an inverse correlation between age in the PMC group and the GI,BI,PLI,and FDI indices(P<0.01),rather than in the ZC group(P>0.05).Conclusion PMC and ZC can be ap-plied to restore deciduous molar caries.The periodontal status of deciduous teeth in ZC group was superior to that in the PMC group.The periodontal status of deciduous teeth in PMC group may be stable with increased age.
