ObjectiveTo investigate the status of tooth loss in people aged 50 and above, so as to understand their oral health status and provide scientific evidences for promoting oral health of middle-aged and elderly people. MethodsA total of 400 patients who visited the department of stomatology at Sijing Hospital in Songjiang District of Shanghai were performed oral health examinations and their information was collected according to the national epidemiological survey standards for oral health. ResultsThere were statistically significant differences in tooth loss among people aged 50 and above with different ages, educational levels, occupations, types of medical insurance and chronic diseases (P<0.05), but gender and monthly income had no statistically significant correlations with tooth loss (P>0.05). Among lifestyle factors, smoking, alcohol consumption and tea drinking had no statistically significant impacts on the number of remaining teeth (P>0.05), but toothbrushing frequency, flossing frequency, toothpick use frequency, toothbrush replacement frequency, and tooth loosening were statistically associated with the number of remaining teeth (P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analyses indicated that a total of 7 related factors including age, educational level, occupation, medical payment type, chronic disease, tooth loosening and toothpick use frequency were significantly associated with the number level of remaining teeth in individuals aged 50 and above. ConclusionAge, chronic disease, and tooth loosening were influencing factors affecting the number of teeth left in people aged 50 and above. It is recommended to strengthen oral health education and improve healthcare awareness to reduce the risk of tooth loss in people aged 50 and above.

Objective To investigate the impact of type 2 inflammation markers blood eosinophils(EOS)and fractional exhaled nitric oxide(FeNO)on bronchodilator responsiveness(BDR)in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods This study was conducted among 389 patients with an established diagnosis of COPD in our hospital from October,2019 to October,2023,who all underwent bronchial dilation test(BDT)of the large and small airways.Based on smoking history,blood EOS,and FeNO,these patients were divided group A(blood EOS<300/μL+FeNO<35 ppb+smoking history<20 pack-years),group B(blood EOS<300/μL+FeNO<35 ppb+smoking history≥20 pack-years),group C(blood EOS≥300/μL or FeNO≥35 ppb+smoking history≥20 pack-years),and group D(blood EOS≥300/μL or FeNO≥35 ppb+smoking history<20 pack-years)for analyzing the relationship between clinical indexes and BDR.Results BDR evaluation based on forced expiratory volume in 1 second(FEV1),forced vital capacity(FVC),and maximum mid-expiratory flow(MMEF)yielded consistent results,all showing a younger mean age,higher FeNO levels,and higher blood EOS counts and percentages in patients positive for BDT(P<0.05).The improvement value and improvement rate of FEV1 were significantly lower in group A than in group D.The improvement value and improvement rate of FEV1 as well as the improvement rate of MMEF were significantly lower in group B than in group D.In the overall patients,age and FeNO were significantly correlated with the improvement value and improvement rate of FEV1 and the improvement rate of MMEF(P<0.05).Conclusion Type 2 inflammation markers have different effects on BDR in the large and small airways of COPD patients,and their clinical significance needs further investigation.

Objective To use superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles(SPIONs)to label chimeric antigen receptor(CAR)T cells targeting carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA),and perform magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)to real time trace CEA CAR-T cells in vivo.Methods Appropriate amount of ferumoxytol,heparin sodium and protamine sulfate were mixed at high(ferumoxytol 100 μg/mL,heparin sodium 4 IU/mL,protamine sulfate 120 μg/mL),medium(ferumoxytol 50 μg/mL,heparin sodium 2 IU/mL,protamine sulfate 60 μg/mL),and low(ferumoxytol 25 μg/mL,heparin sodium 1 IU/mL,protamine sulfate 30 μg/mL)concentrations to form a SPIONs complex ferumoxytol/heparin/protamine(FHP),and then co-incubated with CEA CAR-T cells for cell labeling.The biocompatibility of FHP was detected by CCK-8 assay,EdU assay and flow cytometry.The uptake of FHP was detected by Prussian blue staining,and SPIONs content in the cells was quantitatively detected by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry(ICP-MS).Flow cytometry was used to detect the lytic effect of FHP-labeled CEA CAR-T cells on tumor cells,and MRI was employed to scan FHP-labeled CEA CAR-T cells.Results FHP at high,medium,and low concentrations had no significant effect on the activity of CEA CAR-T cells,with cell activity above 100％determined by CCK-8 assay.DNA proliferation was above 94.3％in EdU assays.Prussian blue staining showed that CEA CAR-T cells could take FHP up,with the uptake increased with the increment of FHP concentration.ICP-MS showed that the intracellular Fe content was 440.23±189.36 ng/mL.Tumor cell killing experiment showed that FHP-labeled CEA CAR-T cells had excellent killing capability against tumor cells.MRI scans indicated that T2WI signals of FHP-labeled CEA CAR-T cells were significantly reduced with increasing FHP concentration(P＜0.01).Conclusion SPIONs complex FHP shows good biocompatibility and can effectively label CEA CAR-T cells.SPIONs complex FHP can be used as a magnetic marker for CEA CAR-T cells and a feasible MRI tracer for clinical application.
