BACKGROUND:The number of hematopoietic stem cel s in the peripheral blood is very low at normal physiological state. So it is critical to mobilize hematopoietic stem cel s from donor’s bone marrow into the peripheral blood.
OBJECTIVE:To study the combination effect of AMD3100 and dexamethasone on the mobilization of hematopoietic stem cel s in mice, thereby laying the foundation for clinical application.
METHODS:C57BL/6 mice were injected with AMD3100 and dexamethasone alone or in combination. Then, hematopoietic stem cel s in the peripheral blood and bone marrow were col ected. CD34+cel concentration in the peripheral blood and bone marrow was determined by flow cytometer and the content of leucocytes in the peripheral blood was counted by a normal method. The CFU-Mix colony formation ability of hematopoietic stem cel s was identified by cel colony forming assay.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The concentration of CD34+cel s in the peripheral blood and bone marrow, the content of leukocytes in the peripheral blood and the CFU-Mix colony formation ability of hematopoietic stem cel s were al improved by both AMD3100 and dexamethasone and especial y their combined use. This indicates that both AMD3100 and dexamethasone could mobilize hematopoietic stem cel s to migrate from the bone marrow to the peripheral blood, and when used in combination, the mobilization effect is better than that of single drug.

Objective To investigate the effect of Versican V0/V1 on biological behaviors of mouse dental papilla cells(mDPCs).Methods mDPCs were isolated from C57BL/6J mice at embryonic day 16.5(E16.5).A small interfering RNA(siRNA)constructed specifically for Versican V0/V1 was transfected into mDPCs.The silencing efficiency was verified by quantitative real-time fluorescence polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)and immunofluorescence staining.The proliferation rate of mDPCs was determined using EdU assay;the migration ability of mDPCs was evaluated by scratch test and transwell assay.Alkaline phosphatase(ALP)staining and aliz-arin red staining were used to assess the mineralization capability of mDPCs.The molecules related to odontogenic differentiation and mineralization at mRNA levels were measured by qRT-PCR.Results After siRNA transfection,the mDPCs of si-Versican V0/V1 group showed weaker proliferation and migration abilities compared with si-NC group(P＜0.01).An enhanced ALP staining intensity,miner-alized nodule formation and up-regulations of the molecules related to odontogenic differentiation and mineralization at mRNA levels(P＜0.05)were observed in the mDPCs of si-Versican V0/V1 group.Conclusion Versican V0/V1 silencing inhibits the proliferation and migration of mDPCs,but enhances the abilities of odontogenic differentiation and mineralization.

Malocclusion,identified by the World Health Organization(WHO)as one of three major oral diseases,profoundly impacts the dental-maxillofacial functions,facial esthetics,and long-term development of～260 million children in China.Beyond its physical manifestations,malocclusion also significantly influences the psycho-social well-being of these children.Timely intervention in malocclusion can foster an environment conducive to dental-maxillofacial development and substantially decrease the incidence of malocclusion or reduce the severity and complexity of malocclusion in the permanent dentition,by mitigating the negative impact of abnormal environmental influences on the growth.Early orthodontic treatment encompasses accurate identification and treatment of dental and maxillofacial morphological and functional abnormalities during various stages of dental-maxillofacial development,ranging from fetal stages to the early permanent dentition phase.From an economic and societal standpoint,the urgency for effective early orthodontic treatments for malocclusions in childhood cannot be overstated,underlining its profound practical and social importance.This consensus paper discusses the characteristics and the detrimental effects of malocclusion in children,emphasizing critical need for early treatment.It elaborates on corresponding core principles and fundamental approaches in early orthodontics,proposing comprehensive guidance for preventive and interceptive orthodontic treatment,serving as a reference for clinicians engaged in early orthodontic treatment.

【Objective】 To explore the clinical value of thromboelas-tography, coagulation four items and platelet count in guiding platelet transfusion in critically ill patients. 【Methods】 A total of 188 critically ill patients in Intensive Care Unit of our hospital from January 2020 to January 2022 were selected as subjects, and were divided into study group(n=89) and the control(n=99) according to the presence of bleeding symptoms. T-test was used for comparative analysis between the two groups. Spearman was used to analyze the correlation between TEG, coagulation four items and platelet count, and binary Logistic regression analysis was used to predict the influential factors of bleeding in critically ill patients, ROC curve was used to analyze the guiding value of the above-mentioned indexes for platelet transfusion. 【Results】 1) K and PT values in the study group, above the normal range, were significantly higher than those in the control, while the Angle value, MA value, CI value, FIB value and platelet count were significantly lower than those of the control, among which MA value, CI value and platelet count were below the normal range. 2) TEG, coagulation four items and platelet count were correlated. MA and CI values were positively correlated with platelet count, instead, R and K values were negatively correlated. R value was positively correlated with PT and APTT, CI value, on the contrary, was negatively correlated, K value was positively correlated with PT, while Angle value and MA value were negatively correlated. 3) Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that decreased MA value and decreased platelet count were independent risk factors for predicting bleeding in critically ill patients(P<0.05). 4) ROC curve analysis showed that the areas under ROC curve corresponding to Angle value, MA value, CI value, FIB value and platelet count were 0.866, 0.932, 0.9, 0.838 and 0.987(P<0.05). The sensitivity was highest in platelet count and lowest in FIB. The specificity was highest in MA and lowest in Angle. Compared with the single index, the area under the curve of the combined index(K value, MA value, CI value, PT value and platelet count) was 0.995(P<0.05), Yoden index 0.944, sensitivity 100%, specificity 93.3%, all higher than the individual index. 【Conclusion】 Thromboelas-tography combined with coagulation four items and platelet count can be used to accurately predict the critically ill patients with bleeding risk. To guide clinical platelets transfusion, the combined use of indexes, including K value, MA, CI value, PT and platelet count, is superior to separate use of them as the former showed better sensitivity and specificity, demonstrating a good clinical value.

Early childhood caries (ECC) is a significant chronic disease of childhood and a rising public health burden worldwide. ECC may cause a higher risk of new caries lesions in both primary and permanent dentition, affecting lifelong oral health. The occurrence of ECC has been closely related to the core microbiome change in the oral cavity, which may be influenced by diet habits, oral health management, fluoride use, and dental manipulations. So, it is essential to improve parental oral health and awareness of health care, to establish a dental home at the early stage of childhood, and make an individualized caries management plan. Dental interventions according to the minimally invasive concept should be carried out to treat dental caries. This expert consensus mainly discusses the etiology of ECC, caries-risk assessment of children, prevention and treatment plan of ECC, aiming to achieve lifelong oral health.

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.
