Objective To examine the method of least-square fitting for calibrating the palatal rugae boundary. Methods According to the distribution of the teeth, the feature points were selected; when they were fit, the boundary of the palatal rugae area was created, thereby constructing a mask. The mask was used to remove the part located outside the boundary and filter out the interference. Three samples were utilized for the ex-periments and analyses to come. Results To evaluate the quantitative results of the fitting curves, the correla-tion coefficients(r)of the samples and the relationship between the actual mean value and ideal mean value was obtained through six fitting processes. The differences between the actual mean and ideal mean were found to be significantly small (from 0.2857 to 2.5000) in the six fitting processes, with the range of r close to 1(from 0.9896 to 0.9995). Conclusion The effect of the cubic polynomial fitting method adopted in this study was stable.The proposed boundary calibration method can effectively locate the palatal rugae boundary and remove the interference area, further promoting the practice of forensic identification.

Objective:To analyze the quality control test results of urine fluoride laboratories in Jiangxi Province, and support reliable data for the monitoring and prevention of fluorosis.Methods:From 2019 to 2021, the Jiangxi provincial urine fluoride laboratories used the "Determination of Fluoride in Urine-Ion Selective Electrode Method" (WS/T 89-2015) to detect quality control samples. Origin 9 software was used to analyze the data, and Youden plots and deviation bar plots were produced. The results were evaluated based on the Z-score (qualified: │Z│ ≤2, basically qualified: 2 < │Z│ < 3, unqualified: │Z│ ≥3).Results:The qualified rate of quality control assessment results of urine fluoride laboratories in Jiangxi Province was 95.00% (38/40) . Most of urine fluoride laboratories had scores of │Z│ < 2, and two laboratories had scores │Z│≥3 in 2019 and 2020.Conclusion:The quality control assessment results of urine fluoride laboratories in Jiangxi Province are relatively satisfactory, but some laboratories still need to further improve their detection capabilities.

Objective:To analyze the results of external quality control network of iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) laboratories in Jiangxi Province in 2018, to summarize the total detection level and capability at all levels, and to provide reliable quality assurance for monitoring and prevention of IDD.Methods:In 2018, IDD laboratories of provincial, municipal and county-level in Jiangxi Province were examined for the external quality control of salt iodine, urinary iodine and water iodine. Among them, there were 1 provincial, 11 municipal and 30 county-level laboratories participated in salt iodine assessment; there were 1 provincial, 11 municipal and 100 county-level laboratories participated in urinary iodine assessment; and there were 1 provincial and 11 municipal laboratories participated in water iodine assessment. Salt iodine was determined by direct titration method (GB/T 13025.7-2012); urinary iodine was determined by As 3+-Ce 4+ catalytic spectrophotometry method (WS/T 107.1-2016) or inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry method (WS/T 107.2-2016); water iodine was determined by the method in the range of 0 - 100 μg/L in "Study on the Method Suitable for the Detection of Water Iodine in Areas with Iodine Deficiency and High Iodine" recommended by national IDD reference laboratory. Urinary iodine was determined with Z score method, when│Z│≤ 2, it was qualified; when 2 <│Z│ < 3, it was basically qualified; when│Z│≥ 3, it was not qualified. Water iodine and salt iodine were determined by the method of reference value ± uncertainty, and the average value of the test results within this range was judged to be qualified; otherwise, it was judged to be unqualified. Results:In 2018, the feedback rates and qualified rates of salt iodine, urinary iodine and water iodine in 1 provincial and 11 municipal laboratories in Jiangxi Province were all 100.00%. Thirty county-level laboratories participated in the salt iodine assessment, and 1 of them failed. One hundred county-level laboratories participated in the urinary iodine assessment, and 3 of them failed.Conclusion:Laboratory testing technology of IDD continues to maintain at a high level in Jiangxi Province in 2018, and the detection ability of some county-level laboratories needs to be further improved.

Objective: To determine whether the adenine base editor (ABE7.10) can be used to fix harmful mutations in the human G6PC3 gene. Methods: To investigate the safety of base-edited embryos, off-target analysis by deep sequencing was used to examine the feasibility and editing efficiency of various sgRNA expression vectors. The human HEK293T mutation models and human embryos were also used to test the feasibility and editing efficiency of correction. Results: ①The G6PC3(C295T) mutant cell model was successfully created. ②In the G6PC3(C295T) mutant cell model, three distinct Re-sgRNAs were created and corrected, with base correction efficiency ranging from 8.79% to 19.56% . ③ ABE7.10 could successfully fix mutant bases in the human pathogenic embryo test; however, base editing events had also happened in other locations. ④ With the exception of one noncoding site, which had a high safety rate, deep sequencing analysis revealed that the detection of 32 probable off-target sites was <0.5% . Conclusion: This study proposes a new base correction strategy based on human pathogenic embryos; however, it also produces a certain nontarget site editing, which needs to be further analyzed on the PAM site or editor window.
