BACKGROUND: A large number of cytokines produce in the periodontium on the tension side during orthodontic tooth movement, participate in periodontal remodeling, and make the tooth move to its normal position, thus achieving alveolar remodeling. Heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) is reported to be involved in the periodontal remodeling. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of HSP27 in the rat periodontium on the tension side during the orthodontic tooth movement.METHODS: The rat models of orthodontic tooth movement were constructed using NiTi coil spring with the force value of 50 g. The periodontal samples were collected at 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 14 days after exerting force to detect the expression level of HSP27 in the periodontium on the tension side.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Immunofluorescence staining results revealed that the expression level of HSP27 in the periodontal tissues began to increase at the 1st day after exerting force, reached the highest level at the 3rd day, and then fell to the initial level at the 5th day. To conclude, HSP27 is evoked by orthodontic force early, and it may play a role in periodontal remodeling.

BACKGROUND:Extensive research has been concentrated on the reconstruction of periodontium under orthodontic force. However, there are no reports regarding the expression of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in rat periodontium during orthodontic tooth movement. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the expression of HSP70 in rat periodontium during orthodontic tooth movement. METHODS:Rat orthodontic tooth movement models were established using NiTi extension spring with the force of 50 g. The orthodontic periodontium was col ected at 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 14 days after exerting force to detect the expression of HSP70. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:According to immunofluorescence staining, the expression of HSP70 in the periodontal tissues was increased on day 1 after exerting force, and reached the highest level on day 5, then decreased to the initial level on day 14. These results suggest that the expression of HSP70 is evoked by orthodontic force, and it may play a role in periodontal remodeling.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features of IgD multiple myeloma (MM) and the effect and prognosis of daratumumab-based combination therapy.Methods:The clinicopathological data of a IgD MM patient with disease progression and extramedullary infiltration treated with daratumumab in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University in December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The 74-year-old woman was diagnosed as IgD MM by bone marrow aspiration and immunofixation electrophoresis. The patient was given VD (bortezomib, dexamethasone), RD (lenalidomide, dexamethasone) and ID (ixazomib, dexamethasone) regimens. In June 2020, the patient developed multiple subcutaneous nodules, and she was assessed as progressive disease with extensive extramedullary infiltration. After treated with daratumumab-PAD (liposomal doxorubicin, bortezomib, dexamethasone) regimen, the patient's subcutaneous nodules were significantly reduced and partially disappeared, and the general condition was significantly improved. But the patient was in a cachexia state and finally died of the irregular treatment and disease progression.Conclusions:IgD MM has a low incidence and a short survival period, and there is no uniform standard treatment. The early application of daratumumab combined with proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulators, cytotoxic drugs and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation may improve the overall survival of patients.

Demyelination of the central nervous system often occurs in neurodegenerative diseases， such as multiple sclerosis （MS）. The myelin sheath， a layer of myelin membrane wrapping the axon， plays a role in the rapid conduction and metabolic coupling of impulses for neurons. The exposure of the axon will lead to axonal degeneratio， and further neuronal degeneration， which is the main cause of dysfunction and even disability in patients with demyelinating neurodegenerative diseases. In addition to the demyelination of mature myelin sheath， remyelination disorder is also one of the major reasons leading to the development of the diseases. The myelin sheath is composed of oligodendrocytes （OLs） derived from oligodendrocyte progenitor cells （OPCs） which are differentiated from neural stem cells （NSCs）. The process of myelin regeneration， i.e.， remyelination， is the differentiation of NSCs into OLs. Recent studies have shown that this process is regulated by a variety of genes. MicroRNAs， as important regulators of neurodegenerative diseases， form a complex regulatory network in the process of myelin regeneration. This review summarizes the main molecular pathways of myelin regeneration and microRNAs involved in this process and classifies the mechanisms and targets. This review is expected to provide a theoretical reference for the future research on the treatment of demyelinating diseases by targeting the regulation of microRNAs.

ObjectiveTo investigate effect of conducting training of autism spectrum disorder （ASD） early screening skill on improving the ability to early identify ASD of medical staffs in primary care hospitals. MethodsIn September 2021， the training of ASD early screening skills was carried out for medical staffs from 20 primary care hospitals in Chengdu. After training， the training effect was evaluated. The numbers of referrals from primary care hospitals to superior hospitals， confirmed ASD as well as their average diagnostic age of children with ASD before and after training were used as evaluation indicators. ResultsAfter training， the number of children with suspected ASD referred by primary care hospitals was more than that before training ［（16.65±11.60） vs. （3.40±2.23）， t=5.431， P<0.01］， the number of children diagnosed with ASD was more than that before training［（6.85±4.93） vs. （2.45±1.67）， t=4.171， P<0.01］， and the differences were statistically significant. As for the diagnosed age of ASD children， after training， the average age was lower than that before training ［（34.95±11.67） vs. （42.2±14.64）， t=-2.553， P=0.019］. ConclusionTraining of ASD early screening skills for medical staffs in primary care hospitals may help to improve their ability to early screening ASD children.
