OBJECTIVEThis study aimed to compare the polishing performance of five different glass-ceramic polishing tools on CEREC Blocs ceramic and provide evidence for clinical polishing tool selection.

METHODSSixty ceramic specimens were prepared and divided into six groups (n=10). These specimens received different surface treatments, including glazing (group G), polishing with Shofu polishing set, that is, Porcelain Adjustment Kit+CeraMaster (group SF), 3M Sof-LexTM Discs (group 3M), TobooM polishing set (group Tob), EVE DIAPRO system (group EVE), and Ivoclar Vivadent OptraFine® system (group Ivo). Polishing quality was measured with a profilometer, and we selected Ra and Rz values for statistical analysis. Qualitative surface evaluation was performed by a scanning electron microscope (SEM).

RESULTSThe mean Ra values of each group were as follows: G (0.069 µm±0.008 µm)<3M (0.073 µm±0.009 µm)0.05), and SF and Ivo groups (P>0.05), but the remaining treatment groups were significantly different from each other (P<0.05). Statistical results of Rz values were the same as the Ra values, and visual analysis of the images obtained from SEM was consistent with the statistical results.

CONCLUSIONSThe polishing performance of different polishing tools for CEREC Blocs ceramic was different. Sof-LexTM Discs achieved the most remarkable performance, which was comparable to that of glazing.

Objective:To explore the distribution of different subsets of monocyte in peripheral blood of patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO).Methods:A cross-sectional study was performed.Fifty-nine TAO patients and 30 healthy subjects were recruited continuously in Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center from January 2017 to December 2019.Clinical data of subjects were recorded, and the severity and activity of TAO were graded based on the criteria of NOSPECS and CAS.TAO patients were grouped according to clinical activity of TAO, and the patients were treated by triamcinolone acetonide (TA) injection or methylprednisolone pulse therapy (MPT) accordingly.Peripheral blood of the subjects was collected and monocytes were isolated.The proportion of different monocyte subsets was assayed by a flow cytometry.The differences in distribution of monocyte subsets between TAO group and normal control group, stable TAO group and active TAO group, TA injected group and MPT treated group were compared and analyzed.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-Sen University (No.2014MEKY005), and the written informed consent was obtained from each subject before any medical intervention.Results:The proportion of classical monocyte (CMo) subset in TAO group was (81.77%±5.53)%, which was significantly lower than (84.35±5.83)% in the normal control group ( P=0.034); the proportion of intermediate monocyte (IMo) subset in the TAO group was (10.17±4.19)%, which was significantly higher than (7.69±4.09)% in the normal control group ( P=0.006); no significant difference was found in the proportion of non-classical monocyte (NMo) subset between the two groups ( P=0.892). The proportion of CMo subset in the active TAO group was (77.29±5.80)%, which was significantly lower than (82.64±5.03)% in the stable TAO group ( P<0.01), and the proportion of IMo subset in the active TAO group was (13.79±4.82)%, which was significantly higher than (9.20±3.56)% in the stable TAO group ( P<0.01); no significant change was found in the proportion of NMo subset between the two groups ( P=0.283). There was no difference in the proportion of different TAO subsets before and after TA injection ( P>0.05). In MPT treated group, the proportion of CMo subset in TAO patients was significantly increased and the proportion of IMo subset was significantly decreased (both at P<0.05); there was no significant difference in proportion of NMo subset before and after MPT treatment ( P=0.187). Conclusions:IMo subset is enriched in patients with TAO, and the IMo subset content varies over the disease activity.MPT may inhibit the shift of CMo subset towards IMo subset.

Objective:To investigate the effects of cabazitaxel on lung cancer cell metastasis and proliferation and the related mechanisms.Methods:Lung cancer cells A549 were divided into two groups. The experimental group were cultured with a low concentration of 50 μg/ml cabazitaxel, and the control group were cultured with an equal volume of a solution of cabazitaxel. The proliferation ability of the two groups of cells was examined using CCK8 and plate cloning experiments. The migration ability of A459 cells was verified by transwell and cell scratch experiments. The expression levels of MMP2/9, CDK4/6, and P16 protein were detected by Western blotting.Results:Compared with the control group, the cell proliferation ability of the A549 cell was weakened in the experimental group. The plate clone formation rate of the experimental group was 17.5%±2.3%, and A549 cell clone formation rate of the control group was 74.8%±4.5%. The cloning ability was reduced in the experimental group. Western blot results showed that the expression of CDK4/6 in the experimental group was down-regulated and the expression of P16 was up-regulated. The scratch healing percentage of the cells in the experimental group was 56.2%±3.8%, and the scratch healing percentage of the cells in the control group was 86.8%±5.2%. The scratch healing ability of the cells in the experimental group decreased. The transwell results showed that the experimental group had 35±4 cells per field of view, while it was 78±9 in the control group. The cell migration ability of the experimental group was decreased. Western blot results showed that the expression of MMP2/9 in the experimental group was down-regulated.Conclusion:Cabazitaxel leads to a decrease in the metastasis ability of lung cancer cells A549 through the extracellular matrix pathway, and inhibits cell proliferation by up-regulating P16.

Objective:To explore the effect of timely induction intervention on postpartum urination in primipara during vaginal delivery, so as to provide the evidence for preventing the occurrence of postpartum urinary retention and relieving the pain of primipara.Methods:This study adopted a randomized controlled trial design, and selected 400 cases of primipara who were hospitalized for vaginal delivery in the Obstetric Department of Dalian Women and Children's Medical Group Sports New Town Hospital from June 2021 to September 2022 as the study objects by convenience sampling method. They were divided into the intervention group and the control group with 200 cases each by random number table method, and the control group received routine postpartum care. Instruct active urination within 6 hours after delivery. The intervention received timely induction urination intervention. The general condition and bladder urine volume of the women in the intervention group were evaluated at 2, 4, 6 h after delivery, respectively, and personalized guidance was implemented, including the frequency of massage of the bottom of the uterus, the control of water intake, the selection of methods and timing of inducing urination, etc., and routine postpartum care was given when the women completed their first urination and had no complaints of discomfort. The first urination time, first urination volume, first bladder irritation during the first urination and the incidence of postpartum urinary retention in different periods were compared between the two groups.Results:The patients in the control group were (29.60 ± 3.20) years old, while the patients in the intervention group were (28.81 ± 3.42) years old. The first urination time in the intervention group was (6.89 ± 2.18) h, which was shorter than that in the control group (9.11 ± 3.86) h, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-2.49, P<0.01). The first urination volume in the intervention group was (322.36 ± 120.15) ml, which was higher than that in the control group (262.93 ± 105.68) ml, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=3.39, P<0.05). The incidence of the first bladder irritation in the intervention group was 22.0%(44/200), which was lower than that in the control group 33.5%(67/200), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=6.60, P<0.05). The incidence of postpartum urinary retention within 24 h in the intervention group was 5.5%(11/200), which was lower than that in the control group 11.5%(23/200), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=4.63, P<0.05). The incidence of postpartum urinary retention within 1 week in the intervention group was 9.5%(19/200), which was lower than that in the control group 16.5%(33/200), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=4.33, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of postpartum urinary retention within 24 to 72 h between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Timely induction intervention can reduce the incidence of postpartum urinary retention, shorten the time of first urination, increase the volume of first urination and improve the comfort of first urination, which is worthy of clinical application.

ObjectiveTo understand the visual environment sanitation in primary and secondary school classrooms in Minhang District， Shanghai， and to investigate the factors affecting the decline in students’ visual acuity. MethodsIn 2020， among all the primary and secondary schools in Minhang District， according to different types of classroom structures， levels， orientations， unilateral lighting， and bilateral lighting， a total of 20 231 students from 674 classrooms in primary and secondary schools were selected through stratified cluster sampling. Each monitored classroom was regarded as a research unit， and the naked eye vision of students was tested using a standard logarithmic vision chart during the 2020 and 2021 academic years. The change in average visual acuity between the two measurements was taken as the dependent variable， and the visual environment indices were considered as independent variables. The relationship between classroom visual environment indices and the decline in students’ naked eye vision was analyzed. ResultsThe qualification rates for per capita classroom area， window to floor area ratio， average illuminance of the blackboard， uniformity of blackboard illuminance， average illuminance of the desks， uniformity of desk illuminance， lighting coefficient of classroom， blackboard reflection ratio， back wall reflection ratio， and distance between lamps and desks were 79.53%， 88.58%， 46.74%， 70.33%，64.69%， 80.86%， 71.81%， 20.30%， 1.63%， and 97.53%， respectively. The average naked eye vision of primary and secondary school students in the 2020 academic year was 4.75±0.37 （right eye） and 4.76±0.37 （left eye）， while in the 2021 academic year， it was 4.70±0.39 （right eye） and 4.71±0.38 （left eye）. There was a significant decrease in the naked eye vision of primary and secondary school students in the 2021 academic year compared to that of 2020 （P<0.05）. Univariate linear regression analysis showed a significant correlation between grade， average illuminance of the blackboard， average illuminance of the desks， uniformity of desk illuminance， lighting coefficient， and distance between lamps and desks， and the decline of students’ naked eye vision within one academic year （P<0.05）. After adjusting for grade， multiple linear regression analysis revealed a significant correlation between the average illuminance of the blackboard， uniformity of desk illuminance， lighting coefficient， and distance between lamps and desks， and the decline of students’ naked eye vision within one academic year （P<0.05）. Higher average illuminance of the blackboard， uniformity of desk illuminance， lighting coefficient， and distance between lamps and desks were protective factors for naked eye vision. ConclusionThe visual environment of primary and secondary school classrooms in Minhang District is a matter of concern. Average illuminance of the blackboard， uniformity of desk illuminance， lighting coefficient， and distance between lamps and desks are related to the degree of visual impairment in students over a year.

ObjectiveTo investigate the general situation of defect of vertebral column among primary and middle school students in Minhang District of Shanghai and analyze the related factors， to provide a scientific basis for prevention and treatment. MethodsFrom September to October 2022， a total of 5 715 students were selected from two primary schools， two middle schools， and two high schools in Minhang District for physical examinations and screening for defect of vertebral column. ResultsTotally 219 students had defect of vertebral column， accounting for 3.83% of the sampled population. Anteroposterior spinal abnormalities were found in 4 individuals， accounting for 0.07%， and 218 students had scoliosis， accounting for 3.81%. The detection rate of defect of vertebral column was higher in girls （6.27%） than that in boys （1.51%）， and higher in high school students （10.74%） than in primary school students （1.31%） and middle school students （10.97%）. Students who are mildly underweight （5.95%） and who are moderately to severely underweight （7.46%） had a higher detection rate of defect of vertebral column than those with normal weight （4.54%）， overweight （2.83%）， and obesity （1.60%）. The detection rate among students with poor vision （4.32%） was significantly higher than those with normal vision （2.24%）， with all differences statistically significant （all P<0.05）. ConclusionThe positive rate of defect of vertebral column in primary and middle school students in Minhang District， Shanghai is nearly 4%， with most cases being scoliosis. Factors such as being female， increasing age， being underweight， and poor vision are associated with a higher probability of detecting defect of vertebral column.
