The human oral microbiome harbors one of the most diverse microbial communities in the human body, playing critical roles in oral and systemic health. Recent technological innovations are propelling the characterization and manipulation of oral microbiota. High-throughput sequencing enables comprehensive taxonomic and functional profiling of oral microbiomes. New long-read platforms improve genome assembly from complex samples. Single-cell genomics provides insights into uncultured taxa. Advanced imaging modalities including fluorescence, mass spectrometry, and Raman spectroscopy have enabled the visualization of the spatial organization and interactions of oral microbes with increasing resolution. Fluorescence techniques link phylogenetic identity with localization. Mass spectrometry imaging reveals metabolic niches and activities while Raman spectroscopy generates rapid biomolecular fingerprints for classification. Culturomics facilitates the isolation and cultivation of novel fastidious oral taxa using high-throughput approaches. Ongoing integration of these technologies holds the promise of transforming our understanding of oral microbiome assembly, gene expression, metabolites, microenvironments, virulence mechanisms, and microbe-host interfaces in the context of health and disease. However, significant knowledge gaps persist regarding community origins, developmental trajectories, homeostasis versus dysbiosis triggers, functional biomarkers, and strategies to deliberately reshape the oral microbiome for therapeutic benefit. The convergence of sequencing, imaging, cultureomics, synthetic systems, and biomimetic models will provide unprecedented insights into the oral microbiome and offer opportunities to predict, prevent, diagnose, and treat associated oral diseases.

Objective To investigate a novel stroke recurrence risk prediction model,which utilized radiomics machine learning methods and specifically combined carotid computed tomography angiography(CT A)with the Essen stroke risk score(ESRS).Methods A total of 136 patients who underwent carotid CT A were analyzed retrospectively.The features of carotid plaque were extrac-ted by machine learning to construct a radiomics feature model,as well as combined with ESRS.Based on clinical outcomes at one-year follow-up,the stroke recurrence risk prediction model was constructed using the logistic regression(LR)machine learning model.To construct an effective and robust model,the dataset was divided into a training set and a validation set in a ratio of 7∶3.The performance of this model was evaluated using area under the curve(AUC)of receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve,sensi-tivity and specificity.Results The model had strong predictive value.In the training set,AUC,sensitivity and specificity of this model were 0.903,0.796 and 0.761,respectively.In the validation set,AUC,sensitivity and specificity of this model were 0.869,0.667 and 0.850,respectively.Conclusion The stroke recurrence risk prediction model constructed based on radiomics analysis of carotid plaque characteristics in carotid CTA,in combination with the ESRS,can provide reliable predictions for stroke prognosis.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the pharmacodynamics of Wujiashen Gejiejing on rats with deficiency of lung qi. METHODS The rat model of deficiency of lung qi was established by sawdust fumigation. By comparing the general activity state, blood acid-alkali indexes, biochemical indexes related to chronic bronchitis and airway histological characteristics of rats in each group, the pharmacodynamics of Wujiashen Gejiejing on rats with deficiency of lung qi was evaluated. RESULTS Compared with model group, after the Wujiashen Gejiejing intervention, the body weight of the rats significantly increased; the levels of p(O2) and SaO2 in blood were significantly increased(P<0.001), p(CO2) was significantly decreased(P<0.05), and pH had a tendency to increase; the levels of endothelin(ET) and IL-1β in serum were significantly decreased(P<0.01 or P<0.05), and the levels of TNF-α in serum had a decreasing trend. The damaged lung structures were significantly improved. CONCLUSION Wujiashen Gejiejing can significantly improve the activity state and improve hypoxemia and hypercapnia of lung qi deficiency syndrome, improve the damaged lung structure and the function of lung ventilation, and has obvious anti-inflammatory effect. Its mechanism may be related to regulating the expression of inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, TNF-α and ET.
