Objective:To investigate the predictive value of acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI) score for the severity of acute pancreatitis (AP), infectious pancreatic necrosis and patients′ death.Methods:Clinical data of 719 patients with AP were collected from the AP database of the National Clinical Research Center for Digestive System Diseases from January 2016 to June 2018. According to the severity of the disease, they were divided into MAP group (506 cases), MSAP group (112 cases) and SAP group (101 cases). AGI, APACHEⅡ, MCTSI and BISAP scores were calcululated in the three groups. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was drawn and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated. The predictive value of the above four scoring systems for the hospitalization days, disease severity, infectious pancreatic necrosis and death was analyzed, respectively.Results:There were no cases of infectious pancreatic necrosis or death in the MAP group, but there were 9 cases of infectious pancreatic necrosis and 2 deaths in the MSAP group and 19 cases of infectious pancreatic necrosis and 8 deaths in the SAP group. There was a strong correlation between AGI score and AP patients′ hospitalization days ( r=0.619). AUC of AGI, APACHEⅡ, MCTSI and BISAP score in predicting the AP patients′ severity (MSAP+ SAP) was 0.967 (95% CI 0.951-0.982), 0.769(95% CI 0.720-0.899), 0.842(95% CI 0.809-0.875), 0.862 (95% CI0.832-0.893). AUC for forecasting infectious pancreatic necrosis was 0.803, 0.677, 0.692, 0.724, and the 95% CI was 0.724-0.882, 0.573-0.781, 0.582-0.636, 0.801-0.812. AUC for predicting death in patients with AP were 0.915, 0.597, 0.659, 0.812, and the 95% CI were 0.843-0.986, 0.444-0.751, 0.498-0.698 and 0.882-0.926. AGI score had the highest predictive value, followed by BISAP score, and the correlation between these two scores was the closest. The predictive value of AGI combined with BISAP score for infectious pancreatic necrosis and patient death (AUC were 0.837, 0.942, 95% CI were 0.770-0.903, 0.897-0.987) was better than that of AGI and BISAP score alone. Conclusions:AGI score combined with BISAP score is more effective in predicting the severity of AP, the occurrence of infectious pancreatic necrosis or patient death.

Objective:To evaluate and compare the outcomes of maxillary protraction treatment assisted by temporary anchorage devices (TADs) and removable biteplate in cleft lip and palate patients using cephalometric analysis.Methods:Fifty-four cleft lip and palate patients were divided into 3 groups based on different maxillary protraction treatments: bitepalate removable appliance group (group A), maxillary protraction treatment assisted by TADs group (group B) and control group (group C). Lateral cephalograms were taken at the start and the end of maxillary protraction. Skeletal, dental and soft tissue changes were measured using Dolphin software and compared between groups.Results:The average protraction time of groups A and B were (8.51±1.33) and (9.20±1.45) months ( P=0.146), respectively. A point moved forward by 4.08 mm in group A and 4.83 mm in group B were noted, without significant differences between the two groups. Compared to group C, ANB and wits was highly improved after protraction in groups A and B. U6-VRmx increased by 0.46 mm and U1-pp increased by 0.63 mm in group B, both of which were significantly smaller than those of group A (both P<0.05), suggesting that maxillary protraction treatment assisted by TADs could reduce molar advancement and upper incisor protrusion. Conclusions:Both maxillary protraction treatment assisted by TADs and removable biteplate could significantly improve skeletal class Ⅲ malocclusion in unilateral cleft and palate patients. Maxillary protraction treatment assisted by TADs could reduce molar advancement and upper incisor protrusion.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the toxic effects of nano-sized neodymium oxide( nano-Nd_2O_3) on the central nervous system in mice. METHODS: Specific pathogen free female ICR mice were randomly divided into control group,lowdose group and high-dose group,with 12 rats in each group. The mice in low-dose group and high-dose group were treated with nano-Nd_2O_3 by nasal drip method at 80 and 160 mg/( kg·d) body weight for 30 days,while the mice in the control group were given 0. 9% sodium chloride solution. The water maze experiment and jump platform experiment were used to evaluate learning and memory ability. Hippocampus was examined using Hematoxylin-Eosin( HE) staining and glial fibrillary acidic protein( GFAP) immunohistochemical staining. The level of malondialdehyde( MDA) and the activity of total superoxide dismutase( T-SOD) in brain tissue were detected by microplate reader. RESULTS: The escape latency increased and the step down latency decreased in the low-dose group and high-dose group compared with the control group(P < 0. 05). No obvious pathological changes were observed by HE staining in brain hippocampus. Immunohistochemistry staining showed that the expression of GFAP protein in the hippocampal astrocytes of the low-and high-dose groups was higher than that in the control group,especially in the high-dose group,when compared with the control group. The MDA level increased and the T-SOD activity decreased in the low-and high-dose groups compared with the control group( P <0. 05). CONCLUSION: nano-Nd2 O3 can reduce the learning and memory ability of mice and increased GFAP expression in hippocampal astrocytes. The mechanism may be related to oxidative stress.
