To develop a portable oxygen moisture bottle. The bottle adopted a double-tightened and separate structure, whose shell was made of transparent materials. The inner liner was made of PTFE hydrophobic mem-brane filter, which applied a 3-layer structure to inlet oxygen into the shell through the air membrane filter at all directions. The bottle had no requirements for site and high reliability, and the desired use for continuous oxygen inhalation was realized. The bottle has a simple structure, low cost, easy maintenance and high portability, and gains ad-vantages over the traditional one.

Absract: Objective To report the result of annual monitoring and analysis of nasopharyngeal virus in children with respiratory tract infections in Nanxiang, Shanghai District. Methods Nasopharyngeal secretions were collected from 4389 children with acute respiratory tract infection in outpatient department from January 2007 to September 2013, 9 common respiratory viruses were analyzed by Multiplex RT-PCR, including inlfuenza virus (FLU), parainlfuenza virus (PIV), respiratory syncytical virus (RSV) , adenovirus (ADV), human bocavirus(HBOV), human coronavirus(Cov), enterovirus(EV), human metapneumovirus(HMPV), and rhinovirus(HRV). The same analysis was done in 123 asymptomatic children during the same period. Results The positive rate of detected respiratory viruses in children with respiratory tract infections in nasopharyngeal secretions were 34.8% (1526/4389), including FLU 10.3% (453/4389), RSV 7.3% (320/4389), PIV 6.2%(274/4389), ADV 3.3%(146/4389), HBOV 2.7%(118/4389), EV 2.5%(110/4389), Cov 2.4%(105/4389), HRV 1.6%(72/4389), HMPV 1.5%(67/4389);two and more combined respiratory viral infection were found in 273 cases (6.2%). The virus detection
rate between age groups was signiifcantly different (χ2=41.91, P<0.001). The school-age group had the lowest positive rate of 23.4%and the positive rates in other three groups were all higher than 35.0%. The infant group had the higher positive rate of RSV and HRV. FLU detection rate in school-age group was 13.6%. Respiratory viruses in children with asthmatic disease has high detection rate. RSV infection rate was the highest 14.8%(30/204) in the asthmatic disease group, followed by HBOV 13.8% (28/204). In nasopharyngeal secretions of 123 asymptomatic children, virus-positive detection rate of 6.5% (8/123), which showed signiifcant difference from that in respiratory virus infection group (χ2=42.60, P<0.001). Conclusions In seven consecutive years of testing, the inlfuenza virus and respiratory syncytial virus play an important role in children with respiratory tract infections in this region. The detection rate of virus showed difference between different age groups and a higher detection rate of RSV in infants with respiratory tract infections was observed. The overall detection rate of virus was decreased with the increase of age excluding the inlfuenza virus.

Hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system is an important measure to rationally allocate medical resources and promote the homogenization of basic medical services. The medical alliance is an important service mode and service system of hierarchical diagnosis and treatment, whose role is to perfect the up-down linkage and meet the patient′s medical needs. Informatization construction is an important starting point to promote the services of the medical alliance. In order to solve the problem of connectivity, the medical alliance needs to establish a regional referral platform and realize the integrated service of all medical institutions. Renji Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, has built a blockchain based referral system for hierarchical diagnosis and treatment, incorporating the S2B2C mode concept, and using the traceability, tamper proof and distributed accounting features of blockchain technology, realized independent storage of data in hospitals, realized real-time information sharing and interconnection, and provided a feasible solution for medical alliance management.

Nano-engineering-based tissue regeneration and local therapeutic delivery strategies show significant potential to reduce the health and economic burden associated with craniofacial defects, including traumas and tumours. Critical to the success of such nano-engineered non-resorbable craniofacial implants include load-bearing functioning and survival in complex local trauma conditions. Further, race to invade between multiple cells and pathogens is an important criterion that dictates the fate of the implant. In this pioneering review, we compare the therapeutic efficacy of nano-engineered titanium-based craniofacial implants towards maximised local therapy addressing bone formation/resorption, soft-tissue integration, bacterial infection and cancers/tumours. We present the various strategies to engineer titanium-based craniofacial implants in the macro-, micro- and nano-scales, using topographical, chemical, electrochemical, biological and therapeutic modifications. A particular focus is electrochemically anodised titanium implants with controlled nanotopographies that enable tailored and enhanced bioactivity and local therapeutic release. Next, we review the clinical translation challenges associated with such implants. This review will inform the readers of the latest developments and challenges related to therapeutic nano-engineered craniofacial implants.

Pyroptosis, an inflammatory caspase-dependent programmed cell death, plays a vital role in maintaining tissue homeostasis and activating inflammatory responses. Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) is an aseptic force-induced inflammatory bone remodeling process mediated by the activation of periodontal ligament (PDL) progenitor cells. However, whether and how force induces PDL progenitor cell pyroptosis, thereby influencing OTM and alveolar bone remodeling remains unknown. In this study, we found that mechanical force induced the expression of pyroptosis-related markers in rat OTM and alveolar bone remodeling process. Blocking or enhancing pyroptosis level could suppress or promote OTM and alveolar bone remodeling respectively. Using Caspase-1^-/- mice, we further demonstrated that the functional role of the force-induced pyroptosis in PDL progenitor cells depended on Caspase-1. Moreover, mechanical force could also induce pyroptosis in human ex-vivo force-treated PDL progenitor cells and in compressive force-loaded PDL progenitor cells in vitro, which influenced osteoclastogenesis. Mechanistically, transient receptor potential subfamily V member 4 signaling was involved in force-induced Caspase-1-dependent pyroptosis in PDL progenitor cells. Overall, this study suggested a novel mechanism contributing to the modulation of osteoclastogenesis and alveolar bone remodeling under mechanical stimuli, indicating a promising approach to accelerate OTM by targeting Caspase-1.
