Objective:To explore the differences in clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes between patients with type A and type B alcohol dependence, and to find the independent risk factors of relapse.Methods:Alcohol-dependent male patients attending the Addiction Medicine Center of Beijing Huilongguan Hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were selected for the study and divided into type A alcohol-dependent group ( n=77) and type B alcohol-dependent group ( n=87). All patients were given acute detoxification treatment and were followed up after treatment on relapse to drinking. Differences in demographic and clinical data were compared between the two groups, and differences in treatment outcomes between the two groups at different time points over 3 months were compared. Patients were divided into relapse group and non-relapse group according to whether they drank again after 3 months. Logistic regression model was established to screen the risk factors of relapse of alcohol-dependent patients by SPSS 25.0 software. Results:There was no significant difference between the two types of patients in years of education, marital status, smoking status and working status(all P>0.05), but the proportion of co-residents( χ2=5.69, P=0.017) and the proportion of positive family history of alcoholism were significant difference between the two type of patients( χ2=13.32, P<0.001). There were statistically significant differences between the two types of patients in the onset time( t=-7.28, P<0.001), the first drinking age( t=-2.36, P=0.020), the proportion of drinking in the morning( χ2=7.83, P=0.005), psychotic symptoms( χ2=4.31, P=0.038), convulsions after withdrawal( χ2=5.30, P=0.021), and alcohol use disorder identification test(AUDIT) score( t=4.30, P<0.001). At the 4th and 8th weekend of the follow-up, there were statistically significant differences in drinking frequency(0(0, 3), 0(0, 0), Z=-4.13, P<0.001; 3(0, 3), 0(0, 3), Z=-4.42, P<0.001) and relapse rate (40(45.98%), 9(11.69%), χ2=22.92, P<0.001; 61(70.11%), 24(31.17%), χ2=24.82, P<0.001) between the two types of alcohol dependence patients after drinking again. After 12-week follow-up, there were statistically significant differences between the two types of alcohol-dependent patients in the interval of first drinking(20(7, 30)d, 88(38, 90)d, Z=-7.83, P<0.001), the cumulative duration of abstinence(4(0, 8)weeks, 12(4, 12)weeks, Z=-5.13, P<0.001), the cumulative rate of abstinence(71(81.60%), 25(32.47%), χ2=40.62, P<0.001), the frequency of drinking after abstinence(3(3, 3), 0(0, 3), Z=-5.54, P<0.001), and the reduction of daily average alcohol consumption( t=3.36, P<0.001). Logistic regression model showed that type B alcohol dependence ( OR=3.121, P=0.03, 95% CI: 1.12-8.72) and AUDIT score ( OR=1.498, P<0.01, 95% CI: 1.29-1.74) were the risk factors for relapse of alcohol-dependent patients. Conclusions:Patients with type A and type B alcohol dependence have obvious differences in clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes, and type B alcohol dependence is independent risk factor for relapse to drinking in alcohol-dependent patients, which validate the rationality and necessity of alcohol dependence subtypes.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effects of acupuncture combined with medication on circadian rhythm of blood pressure in patients with essential hypertension.
METHODSSixty-four patients of essential hypertension were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 32 cases in each group. All the patients maintained original treatment (taking antihypertensive medication); the patients in the observation group were treated with acupuncture method of ",", once a day, five times per week, for totally 6 weeks (30 times). The circadian rhythm of blood pressure and related dynamic parameters were observed before and after treatment in the two groups.
RESULTS(1) The differences of daytime average systolic blood pressure (dASBP), daytime average diastolic blood pressure (dADBP), nighttime average systolic blood pressure (nASBP) and circadian rhythm of systolic blood pressure before and after treatment were significant in the observation group (all<0.05); the differences of circadian rhythm of blood pressure and related dynamic parameters before and after treatment were insignificant in the control group (all>0.05). The nASBP and circadian rhythm of systolic blood pressure in the observation group were significantly different from those in the control group (all<0.05). (2) After the treatment, the spoon-shaped rate of circadian rhythm of blood pressure in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (<0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe acupuncture combined with medication could effectively improve the circadian rhythm of blood pressure and related dynamic parameters in patients with essential hypertension.

Objective :
To investigate the effect of resveratrol (RSV) in the treatment of peri-implantitis in a murine model and its effect on nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) signaling and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPKs) signaling.
Methods:
This study has been reviewed and approved by the Ethics. After extracting the right maxillary molars of 40 C57BL/6 mice and allowing them to heal naturally for 8 weeks, implants were implanted at the site of the first molar. The mice were randomly divided into a control group, a mouse peri implantitis model group, a low-dose group of 20 mg/kg resveratrol (RSV-L), and a high-dose group of 40 mg/kg resveratrol (RSV-H). After 4 weeks of implant implantation, a silk thread ligation induced peri implantitis model was established in all mice except for the control group. The model group received intervention with physiological saline by gavage, while the drug group received intervention with resveratrol by gavage for 6 consecutive weeks. After 6-week treatment, observe the swelling of the gums around the implant and measure the bone resorption around the mouse implant using micro CT. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in gingival crevicular fluid. HE staining was used to observe the infiltration of inflammatory cells in the surrounding tissues of mouse implants. Protein expression level and phosphorylation level of extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK), p-ERK, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), p-JNK, p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK), p-p38MAPK, nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB), p-NF-κB, nuclear factor-κB inhibitory protein (IκΒα), p-IκBα in MAPKs/NF-κB signaling pathway were detected by Western blot (WB).
Results:
Resveratrol group showed reduced tissue edema and decreased alveolar bone resorption. Among them, the high-dose resveratrol group had lighter tissue edema and weaker bone resorption compared to the low-dose group. The micro CT results showed that significant changes in the bone level around the implant were observed in the model group mice at four sites: proximal, distal, buccal, and palatal. High dose resveratrol intervention reduced alveolar bone resorption (P<0.05); compared with the low-dose group, the high-dose group showed a decrease in palatal bone resorption (P<0.05), while there was no significant difference in absorption between the mesial, distal, and buccal sides (P>0.05). The ELISA results showed that compared with the model group, the levels of TNF - α and IL-6 in the gingival crevicular fluid of mice in the low-dose and high-dose resveratrol groups were lower (P<0.05). The IL-6 in the gingival crevicular fluid of mice in the high-dose resveratrol group was lower than that in the low-dose group (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in TNF-α levels between the two groups. HE staining showed a decrease in inflammatory cell infiltration in mice after treatment with resveratrol. The WB results showed that compared with the control group, the expression levels of p-Erk, p-JNK, p-p38MAPK, p-IκA, and p-NF-κB phosphorylated proteins in the gingival tissue of the model group mice were significantly increased (P<0.01). The resveratrol treatment group significantly inhibited the phosphorylation of p-Erk, p-JNK, p-p38MAPK, p-IκA, and p-NF-κB proteins. Compared with the low-dose group, the high-dose group inhibited the phosphorylation of MAPKs/NF-κB signaling pathway related proteins more significantly (P<0.05).
Conclusion
Resveratrol protect ligature induced peri-implantitis murine model, which may be related to its inhibition of phosphorylation of MAPKs/NF-κB pathway.

The dental operative microscope has been widely employed in the field of dentistry, particularly in endodontics and operative dentistry, resulting in significant advancements in the effectiveness of root canal therapy, endodontic surgery, and dental restoration. However, the improper use of this microscope continues to be common in clinical settings, primarily due to operators' insufficient understanding and proficiency in both the features and established operating procedures of this equipment. In October 2019, Professor Jingping Liang, Vice Chairman of the Society of Cariology and Endodontology, Chinese Stomatological Association, organized a consensus meeting with Chinese experts in endodontics and operative dentistry. The objective of this meeting was to establish a standard operation procedure for the dental operative microscope. Subsequently, a consensus was reached and officially issued. Over the span of about four years, the content of this consensus has been further developed and improved through practical experience.
