BACKGROUND: Recently, with the increasing popularity of dental implant and orthognathic surgery, more and more people pay attention to the structure of mandibular canal and adjacent tissues. However, there are few reports addressing specimen measurements at home and abroad. OBJECTIVE: To measure the anatomical data of mandibular canal and adjacent tissue of mandible specimen to provide reliable reference data and anatomical evidence for alveolus surgery, tooth implantation, and orthognathic surgery. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A controlled observation was performed at the Laboratory of Anatomy, Jilin Medical College between March 2007 and September 2007. MATERIALS: Twenty complete mandible specimens. METHODS: Sixteen adult, ex vivo mandibles with complete dentition and 4 edentulous mandibles were measured in every dental position of sagittal profile and posterior mental foramen in terms of molar, alveolar crest, and mandibular canal. Data were statistically analyzed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Mental foramen location, horizontal distance from anterior border of mental foramen to anterior border of mental canal, mandibular foramen location, distances from mandibular canal to molar root tip, lingual bone plate of mandible, inferior border of mandible, mandibular buccal bone plate, and alveolar ridge crest. RESULTS: Mandibular canal, located in the inferior region of the mandible body, ran towards the lingual side and was close to the inferior border of mandible and most close to the mandibular molar root tip. It turned towards posterolateral and buccal side in front of mental foramen and then passed through mental foramen. The distance of mandibular canal between edentulous mandible and alveolar ridge crest was obviously shortened. CONCLUSION: Multi-section observation and measurement of ex vivo mandible specimens provide precise, reliable evidence for preoperative design of orthognathic surgery, facilitate surgeons to better formulate surgical proposals, and prevent some complications, including intraoperative massive hemorrhage, interior alveolar nerve injury, mandibular angle fracture, and mental bone lateral wall perforation.

Objective To investigate the short- and long-term complications after endoscopic Oddi's sphincterotomy (EST) upon endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedure and determine whether the size of EST correlates to the occurrence of EST complications.Methods 95 cases receiving EST in the process of ERCP in our hospital were studied and followed up. The patients were divided into large, moderate and small incision groups according to the size of EST and the states of short-term and long-term EST complications were statistically analyzed.Results The incidence of short-term complications of EST was 18. 94% (18/95). They included bleeding in the process of ERCP in 11 cases, delayed bleeding in 3, acute pancreatitis in 1, acute cholangitis in 2 and duodenal perforation in 1. All these patients but 1 with duodenal perforation were discharged after undergoing symptomatic treatments. Eleven out of the 95 patients had long-term complications (11.57 % ). These included biliary system infection in 5 cases, recurrent calculus of bile duct in 3, papilla stricture in 1 and chronic relapsing pancreatitis in 2. All 11 patients recovered after therapeutic ERCP again or symptomatic drug treatments. There was no significant difference in incidence of short-term (χ2 =2.433, P=0.296) or long-term complications (χ2 = 1.151, P=0.562) among the 3 groups. Furthermore, there was no statistical correlation between the incision size of Oddi and complications including operative bleeding (P=0.109), short-term complications (P=0.124) and longterm complications(P=0.402). Conclusion There are many short-term and long-term complications after EST, but there is no correlation between the complications and the incision size of Oddi. The occurring rate of complications might be reduced through accurate direction of papilla incision, avoidance from injury of blood vessel, keeping bile drainage unobstructed and protection of the function of Oddi sphincter as far as possible in the process of ERCP.

Immune system is thought to be closely associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) in recent years. Genome-wide association studies have identified many AD risk genes related to immune response and microglia. This paper mainly reviews immune-related AD risk genes, describing their biological functions and possible roles in AD, in order to provide new scientific basis for early prevention and treatment of AD.

Objective:To investigate the safety and efficacy of transcatheter genicular artery embolization (GAE) for moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis (KOA).Methods:This prospective study included 13 patients (17 knees) with KOA who were treated with GAE from October 2020 to March 2021. The Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) grade was 2-3 for 11 knees, and 4 for 6 knees. The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) and the Whole-Organ Magnetic Resonance Imaging Score (WORMS) assessments were performed for all the subjects before operation. The success rate, clinical efficacy and complications were recorded after operation. Clinical outcomes were evaluated at 1 day, 1week and 1, 3, 6 months after the operation.Results:The success rate of GAE in 17 cases was 100%, and the success rate of target artery superselection was 98.4%(63/64). The baseline WOMAC pain score was 11(10, 13) and total score was 44(38, 58) for 17 knees. Post-operation follow-up WOMAC pain score were 4(3, 7), 2(1, 5), 2(1, 6) and 4(2, 6) at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months. Post-operation follow-up WOMAC total score were 22 (15, 34),20 (12, 24),17 (12, 26) and 20 (12, 31) at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months. There were 16 knees with 6 month follow-up assessment, with the WOMAC pain score of 2.5(2, 5), and the total score of 15(12, 26). Significant difference was found in the WOMAC pain score between baseline and the 1 day, 1 week, 1, 3 and 6 months follow up ( Z=-3.631, -3.623, -3.622, -3.622, -3.532, all P<0.001); also, the total score was statistically significant different between the baseline and the 1 day, 1 week, 1, 3 and 6 months follow up ( Z=-3.639, -3.634, -3.646, -3.527, -3.532, all P<0.001). At 3 months follow-up, there was 1 knee recognized clinical failure. Post-operative adverse reaction in this group included skin ecchymosis in femoral artery puncture area ( n=3), knee joint stiffness and pain within 1 week ( n=4),and clanging joints during postoperative activities ( n=6). Conclusion:GAE is a feasible and safe procedure with obvious short-term curative effect, which can alleviate pain symptoms and improve restricted movement in patients with KOA.

MethodsThe TCGA database was used to analyze the expression level of ANKRD22 in normal liver tissue and hepatocellular carcinoma tissue and its association with prognosis. Western Blot and qRT-PCR were used to measure the expression of ANKRD22 in human normal liver cells （L-02） and human hepatoma cells （Huh7， HepG2， MHCC-97H， SK-HEP-1， and SMMC-7721）； CCK-8 assay， EdU， wound healing assay， and Transwell assay were used to observe the effect of ANKRD22 on the proliferation， invasion， and migration of hepatoma cells； Western Blot was used to investigate the association of ANKRD22 with cyclins and EMT-related proteins； KEGG and ssGSEA analyses were performed to investigate the mechanism of action of ANKRD22 in hepatoma cells， and related experiments were conducted for validation. The independent-samples t-test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups； a one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups， and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsIn the TCGA database， the expression level of ANKRD22 in hepatoma tissue was significantly higher than that in normal liver tissue （t=5.083， P<0.05）， and the patients with a high expression level of ANKRD22 had longer overall survival and disease-related survival than those with a low expression level of ANKRD22 （P<0.05）. The expression level of ANKRD22 in various human hepatoma cell lines was higher than that in human normal liver cells （all P<0.05）. Cell proliferation assay showed that the ANKRD22 overexpression group had significantly higher EdU positive rate and proliferation rate than the Vector group （t=19.60 and 6.72， both P<0.001）， and compared with the si-NC group， the si-ANKRD22#2 group and the si-ANKRD22#3 group had significantly lower EdU positive rate and proliferation rate （all P<0.001）. Compared with the Vector group， the overexpression group had significantly higher expression levels of Cyclin E1， Cyclin D1， CDK7， and CDK4 （t=3.54， 4.95， 6.34， and 5.19， all P<0.01）， and the si-ANKRD22#2 group and the si-ANKRD22#3 group had significantly lower expression levels than the si-NC group （all P<0.001）. The overexpression group had a significantly lower expression level of P27 than the Vector group （t=6.12， P<0.001）， and the si-ANKRD22#2 group and the si-ANKRD22#3 group had a significantly higher expression level than the si-NC group （both P<0.001）. Invasion and migration experiments showed that compared with the Vector group， the ANKRD22 overexpression group had significantly higher migration rate and number of crossings through the membrane （migration group and invasion group） （t=5.01， 25.60， and 3.67， all P<0.05）， and compared with the si-NC group， thesi-ANKRD22#2 group and the si-ANKRD22#3 group had significantly lower migration rate and number of crossings through the membrane （migration group and invasion group） （all P<0.01）. The overexpression group had significantly higher expression levels of N-cadherin， Vimentin， and Snail than the Vector group （t=12.13， 8.85， and 13.97， all P<0.001）， and the si-ANKRD22#2 group and the si-ANKRD22#3 group had significantly lower expression levels than the si-NC group （all P<0.001）； the overexpression group had a significantly lower expression level of E-cadherin than the Vector group （t=4.98， P<0.01）， and the si-ANKRD22#2 group and the si-ANKRD22#3 group had a significantly higher expression level than the si-NC group （both P<0.001）. The KEGG enrichment analysis and the ssGSEA analysis showed that ANKRD22 was associated with the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in hepatocellular carcinoma， and the overexpression group had significantly higher expression levels of p-AKT/AKT， p-PI3K/PI3K， and p-mTOR/mTOR than the Vector group （t=12.21， 3.43， and 9.75， all P<0.01）， and the si-ANKRD22#2 group and the si-ANKRD22#3 group had significantly lower expression levels than the si-NC group （all P<0.001）. ConclusionANKRD22 is highly expressed in hepatoma cells and can promote the proliferation， invasion， and migration of hepatoma cells and the activation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.
