BACKGROUND:The peri-implant bone absorption is closely related to the repair effect. OBJECTIVE:To compare the effects of three kinds of dental implant systems on the peri-implant bone absorption. METHODS:116 patients who underwent the dental implant systems were col ected, including 46 cases with 3I implant system, 40 cases with ITI implant system and 30 cases with BLB implant system. The peri-implant bone absorption, sulcus bleeding index and periodontal probing depth of three groups were detected at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after implantation, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The peri-implant bone absorption of three groups within 1 year after implantation was in a rise, and the bone absorption of BLB group was significantly higher than that of ITI and 3I groups at 3 and 12 months after implantation (P<0.05). Compared with the natural teeth, the gingival sulcus bleeding index of three groups were al increased at different time points after implantation;the gingival sulcus bleeding index of BLB group was significantly higher than that of natural teeth at 6 months after implantation (P<0.05);the gingival sulcus bleeding index of three groups were significantly higher than that of natural teeth at 9 months after implantation (P<0.05). The periodontal probing depth of three groups showed an ascending trend at 6 months after implantation;the periodontal probing depth of three groups was higher than that of natural teeth at different time points after implantation, which exhibited significant differences at 6 and 9 months after implantation (P<0.05). In conclusion, three kinds of dental implant systems exhibit differet effects on the peri-implant bone absorption, but al achieve excel ent clinical efficacies.

Objective: To investigate the influencing factors and population attributable risk percent (PAR%) of low back pain in automobile assemblers. Methods: A total of 634 assemblers from 11 automobile manufacturers in Shiyan City, Hubei Province were chosen as research subjects using judgment sampling method. The prevalence of low back pain in the past one year was investigated using Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire. PAR% was used to analyze the contribution of influencing factors to low back pain. Results: The annual prevalence of low back pain was 68.8%. The results of multivariate logistics regression showed that length of service>15 years, high school or secondary college education or above, standing most of the time, sitting most of the time, the proportion of cumulative time of poor posture in work shift time ≥1/8, and bending for insufficient height of working space were the risk factors for low back pain (all P<0.05). The PAR% of the proportion of cumulative time of poor posture in work shift time ≥1/8 was 43.0%, 37.8% for standing most of the time, and 12.8% for bending for insufficient height of working space. Conclusion: The annual prevalence of low back pain was higher in automobile assemblers. The influencing factors included individual factors and occupational factors. The proportion of cumulative time of poor posture in work shift time ≥1/8, standing most of the time and bending for insufficient height of working space should be taken as the priority intervention factors to reduce the prevalence of low back pain among assemblers in this enterprise.

Objective:To compare the dosimetry and efficacy of intracavitary brachytherapy (ICBT) and intracavitary/interstitial brachytherapy (IC+ ISBT) based on CT image guidance in the treatment of stage Ⅲ B cervical cancer. Methods:Clinical data of 93 patients with stage Ⅲ B cervical cancer treated in Department of Radiotherapy of Jilin Cancer Hospital from June 2014 to February 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the results of Gynecological examination and pelvic MRI before brachytherapy, confirming the size of residual tumor and the degree of parauterine infiltration, all patients were divided into the ICBT and IC+ ISBT groups. The D 90%, D 100%, V 100% and D 2cm 3 of bladder and rectum were compared, and the short-term and long-term efficacy was observed between two groups. Results:The median follow-up time was 60 months. The 5-year local control rate, distant metastasis-free survival rate and overall survival rate of all patients were 83%, 71% and 68%, respectively. Compared with the ICBT group, HR-CTV D 90% in the IC+ ISBT group was all more than 85 Gy, while there was no significant difference between two groups ( P=0.188). The D 2cm 3 of bladder and rectum in the IC+ ISBT group was significantly decreased by 7 Gy and 8 Gy (both P<0.01), and the distant metastasis-free survival rate was significantly improved ( P=0.009). The 5-year local control rate in the HR-CTV volume>60 cm 3 in the IC+ ISBT group was significantly higher than that in the IC group ( P=0.029). Conclusion:For patients with Ⅲ B cervical cancer, IC+ ISBT can not only ensure target coverage, but also significantly reduce the incidence of distant metastasis and the dose of organs at risk, and significantly improve the local control rate of large tumors.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients with borderline developmental dysplasia of the hip (BDDH) and cam-type femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) after hip arthroscopy.Methods:Data were retrospectively reviewed for patients with BDDH and cam-type FAIS who underwent hip arthroscopy surgery from June 2017 to December 2019. A total of 32 patients were enrolled, with a mean age of 36.13±8.67 years (range, 20-50 years), including 15 males and 17 females. The preoperative lateral center-edge angle was 22.3°±1.6° (range 20.1°-24.7°), while the preoperative α angle was 64.1°±4.6° (range, 56.0°-69.8°). All patients were treated with arthroscopic limited acetabular plasty, labral repair, femoral osteoplasty, and capsular plication after excluding from external hip diseases by ultrasound-guided hip blocking test. The visual analogue scale (VAS), modified Harris Hip Scores (mHHS) and International Hip Outcome Tool-12 (iHOT-12) scores were used to evaluate the clinical effects.Results:All patients were followed up, and the mean follow-up time was 2.5±0.8 years (range, 2.0-4.7 years). The VAS score decreased from 6.07±1.56 to 1.96±0.92 at 1 year and to 1.86±1.01 at 2 years after operation ( F=112.64, P<0.001); the mHHS score increased from 53.87±13.04 to 86.12±8.64 at 1 year and to 88.71±8.15 at 2 years after operation ( F=101.70, P<0.001); the iHOT-12 score was improved from 40.00±7.33 to 76.27±9.50 at 1 year and to 78.67±10.31 at 2 years after operation ( F=134.91, P<0.001). The α angle improved to 40.27°±4.52° (range, 34.8°-49.7°) with significant difference ( t=9.24, P<0.001). Conclusion:Hip arthroscopy can achieve satisfied short-term outcomes in treating BDDH and cam-type FAIS with few complications and less trauma.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of epidermal growth factor receptor-forkhead transcription factor A2 (EGFR-FOXA2) pathway-involved high secretion of mucus in human bronchial epitheli-um (HBE) cells after respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection and to evaluate the effects of intervention using agonist ( rosiglitazone ) and antagonist ( GW9662 ) of peroxidase proliferation activated receptor γ( PPARγ) and EGFR inhibitor ( AG1478 ) . Methods HBE cells were randomly divided into six groups: A group ( AG1478+RSV) , B group ( rosiglitazone+RSV) , C group ( GW9662+RSV) , D group ( RSV) , E group (0. 1％ dimethyl sulfoxide DMSO) and F group (HBE cell control group). Two hours before RSV infection, A, B and C groups were respectively treated with 10 μmol/L of AG1478, rosiglitazone and GW9662. Expression of EGFR, PPARγ and FOXA2 at mRNA level in each group was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR 12 h, 24 h and 48 h after HBE cells were infected with or without RSV. Expression of phosphorylated-EGFR ( p-EGFR) and EGFR at protein level was detected by Western blot. ELISA was performed to measure the expression of mucin-5AC (MUC5AC). Results Compared with F group, EGFR expression at mRNA lev-el, p-EGFR/EGFR protein ratio and MUC5AC expression at protein level were increased in a time-dependent manner in A, B, C and D groups at 12 h, 24 h and 48 h. Compared with group F, the expression of PPARγat mRNA level in A, B, and D groups increased at each time point. Moreover, PPARγ expression gradually in-creased over time in A and B groups, reaching the peaks at 48 h, but was in decline in D group. Expression of FOXA2 at mRNA level in RSV-infected HBE cells was declined at each time point compared with that in group F, especially in D group. Compared with group D, A and B groups showed significantly decreased EGFR ex-pression at mRNA level, p-EGFR/EGFR protein ratio and MUC5AC expression at protein level, but markedly increased FOXA2 expression at mRNA level. Conclusions RSV infection increased the expression of MUC5AC at protein level in HBE cells. PPARγand EGFR-FOXA2 signaling pathways were involved in the hypersecretion of airway mucus during RSV infection.

Natural products, as a gift of nature to humanity, have long been used as drugs or pharmacological actives to help people cure various diseases. Yet we still know comparatively little about their ability to be materials. In recent years, some small molecule natural products isolated from traditional Chinese medicines have been found to have new features, namely, self-assembly to form gels (., natural product gels, NPG). However, the application development of these natural products is seriously lacking, which greatly weakens their practical value and delays the maturity of the field. Here, a series of self-assembled triterpenoid natural products are used as materials (gel scaffolds) to construct drug delivery systems. Surprisingly, these NPG not only exhibit the excellent self-healing, controlled gelation, good safety and sustained release, but also achieve synergistic treatment of tumors through bioactive natural products. Compared with non-bioactive gel scaffolds, NPG scaffolds show great advantages in tumor therapy, including optimal tumor inhibition, preferable health, better body recovery, stronger immune function, less toxic side effects and longer survival. The successful construction of NPG scaffolds not only takes full advantage of the self-assembled natural products, but also takes an important step in the development of new applications for natural products.

Objective:To analyze the clinical efficacy of arthroscopic transverse release of the iliotibial band through peritrochanteric space for the treatment of external snapping hip.Methods:A total of 30 patients (12 males and 18 females) with bilateral external snapping hip underwent arthroscopic transverse release of the iliotibial band through peritrochanteric space in Department of Sports Medicine, Senior Department of Orthopaedics, the Fourth Medical Center, Chinese PLA General Hospital were retrospectively analyzed from May 2021 and June 2022. The average age was 32.5±8.2 years (range, 17-51 years). At the same time, 30 patients who underwent arthroscopic external release of the iliotibial band through the external surface of the iliotibial band (external iliotibial band group) were selected as control group, including 13 males and 17 females, aged 29.5±6.8 years (range, 11-45 years). The visual analogue scale (VAS), modified Harris hip score (mHHS), and gluteal muscle contracture disability scale (GDS) were compared between the two groups at preoperative, 6 months postoperative, and final follow-up.Results:All patients successfully completed the operation and were followed up for 17.5±3.3 months (range, 12-25 months). The VAS scores of the two groups at the last follow-up were lower than those before operation ( P<0.05). The mHHS scores before operation, 6 months after operation and at the last follow-up in the peritrochanteric space group were 76.5 (67.0, 85.5), 98.5 (94.8, 100.0) and 100.0 (97.0, 100.0), respectively, and those in the external iliotibial band group were 80.5 (70.0, 86.0), 100.0 (96.0, 100.0) and 100.0 (99.5, 100.0). The differences in mHHS scores between the two groups were statistically significant for intragroup comparisons ( P<0.05); of these, 6 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up were greater than preoperatively, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05); the differences at 6 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in mHHS scores between groups at different time points ( P>0.05). The GDS before operation, at 6 months after operation and at the last follow-up were 47.0 (35.8, 64.5), 90.0 (81.0, 94.0) and 93.5 (89.8, 98.0) in the peritrochanteric space group, and 51.0 (38.0, 64.5), 50.0 (81.0, 94.0) and 93.5 (89.8, 98.0) in the external iliotibial band group, respectively. The differences in GDS between the two groups were statistically significant for intragroup comparisons ( P< 0.05); of these, 6 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up were greater than preoperatively, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05); the differences at 6 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in GDS between groups at different time points ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Arthroscopic transverse release of the iliotibial band through peritrochanteric space for the treatment of external snapping hip can effectively reduce hip pain and improve hip function, with satisfactory clinical results, and can be used as an alternative treatment to transverse release through the external surface of the iliotibial band.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the association between BRAF(V) 600E mutation and pathological features in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).

METHODSThe raleted studies were searched through Medline, PubMed, and Web of Science, and meta-analysis was used to calculate the OR and 95%CI of the study results.

RESULTSA total of 52 studies including 12 029 PTC patients was identified. The prevalence of BRAF(V) 600E mutation in PTC was 57.85%. There was a closed association between the BRAF(V) 600E mutation and pathological features, including advanced TNM stage (OR = 1.89, 95%CI 1.58-2.27), lymph node metastasis (OR = 1.74, 95%CI 1.42-2.14), multifocality (OR = 1.25, 95%CI 1.07-1.46), and recurrence (OR = 2.26, 95%CI 1.25-4.09) of PTC. For Asians with PTC, the association between the BRAF(V) 600E mutation and pathological features was indicated for advanced TNM stage (OR = 1.56, 95%CI 1.24-1.96) and lymph node metastasis (OR = 1.57, 95%CI 1.25-1.99). For Europeans with PTC, the association between the BRAF(V) 600E mutation and pathological features was indicated for advanced TNM stage (OR = 2.63, 95%CI 2.10-3.30), lymph node metastasis(OR = 1.97, 95%CI 1.19-3.25), and multifocality (OR = 1.35, 95%CI 1.01-1.80).

CONCLUSIONThere were associations between the BRAF(V) 600E utation and advanced TNM stage, lymph node metastasis, multifocality, and recurrence of PTC.

Objective To investigate the influence of individual factors and labor organization factors on work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in automobile manufacturing workers, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of WMSDs in automobile manufacturing workers. Methods In April 2020, 5564 workers in an automobile factory were selected by cluster sampling method. The prevalence of WMSDs was investigated by using the Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire, and the influence of individual factors and labor organization factors on WMSDs was investigated by using generalized estimation equation. Results The prevalence rate of WMSDs was 79.00% (4396/5564), and the prevalence rate of multisite WMSDs was 67.95% (3781/5564). The analysis of generalized estimation equation showed that doing the same job every day (OR= 1.478, P < 0.05), age ≥40 years (OR=1.416, P< 0.05), personnel shortage (OR= 1.356, P < 0.05), and work length of 6～10 years and 11～15 years (OR= 1.349, P< 0.05) were the main risk factors for WMSDs in automobile manufacturing workers. Shift work and working time > 40 hours per week increased the risk of WMSDs (P< 0.05). Male and adequate rest time were protective factors for WMSDs. The job correlation matrix showed that WMSDs in most parts had a positive correlation. Conclusions The prevalence of multisite WMSDs of workers in automobile manufacturing industry is high, and unreasonable labor organization is the main risk factor of WMSDs. Appropriate work breaks can effectively reduce the risk of WMSDs, and effective intervention measures should be carried out to prevent the occurrence of WMSDs in workers in automobile manufacturing industry. The generalized estimation equation can better analyze the influencing factors of WMSDs.
