Objective To explore promoter methylation of HIC1 gene and the expression of HIC1/SIRT1 related to the occurrence, development, and metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma. Methods Using Bisulfite sequencing PCR to analyze the promoter methylation of HIC1 gene. Using quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot to analyze expression differences of HIC1 and SIRT1 genes in tissues of papillary thyroid carcinoma(40 cases) and in adjacent normal thyroid(40 cases), of which datas were analyzed by statistics. Results The degree of HIC1 gene promoter methylation was significantly higher than that in adjacent normal tissues(P<0. 01). The degree of HIC1 gene promoter methylation in papillary thyroid carcinoma was related to lymph node metastasis, age, and the tumor-node-metastasis stages(P<0. 01). Compared with the expression of HIC1 mRNA and protein in adjacent normal thyroid tissue, that in papillary thyroid carcinoma was significantly lower(P<0. 01), while the expression of SIRT1 mRNA and protein in papillary thyroid carcinoma was significantly higher(P<0. 01). The lower expression of HIC1 mRNA and protein in the tumor tissues was related to the stage of lymph node metastasis, age, and the tumor-node-metastasis stages(P<0. 05). There was a strong negative correlation between the degree of HIC1 gene promoter methylation and expression of HIC1 in papillary thyroid carcinoma(P<0. 05). The expression of HIC1 mRNA and protein between that of SIRT1 also showed a strong negative correlation(P<0. 01). Conclusion Promoter hypermethylation of HIC1 and aberrant expression of HIC1/SIRT1 in papillary thyroid carcinoma may play a significant role in the oncogenesis and progress of papillary thyroid carcinoma. HIC1 is expected to become a new marker for prevention and treatment of papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Objective:To summarize the experience and outcomes of independent extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) assistance for adult cardiac arrest patients conducted by a county-level hospital.Methods:Clinical data of 23 adult cardiac arrest patients treated with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) at Tiantai County People's Hospital from January 2020 to October 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. Data, including initial cardiac rhythm, ECMO initiation time, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CA)-Pump On time, ECMO initiation-Pump On time, ECMO cannulation-Pump On time, complications, neurological function prognosis, mortality rate, and survival rate, were collected and analyzed. Collect and analyze the mortality and survival rates of 33 adult cardiac arrest (CA) patients meeting the criteria for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) but receiving only conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR) from January 2020 to October 2023, and compare these rates with those of patients who underwent CA-ECPR.Results:Among the 23 cardiac arrest patients, 16 patients achieved spontaneous heart rhythm recovery, 15 patients experienced death, and 8 patients showed improved conditions upon discharge, with 6 patients exhibiting good neurological function prognosis. Compared to CA-CCPR, patients who received CA-ECPR showed a significant decrease in mortality rate (65.21% vs. 90.91%, P=0.017) and a significant increase in survival rate (34.78% vs. 9.09%, P=0.017). After gradual optimization of the ECPR process, the 2022-2023 group showed a significantly increased survival rate compared to the 2020-2021 group(46% vs. 20%). ECMO initiation-Pump On time [41( IQR36.5-44.5)min vs.43( IQR32.75-58.5)min, P=0.709] and ECMO cannulation-Pump On time[30( IQR24.0-37.0)min vs. 33( IQR27.25-55.00)min, P=0.575] decreased, although the differences between the two groups were not statistically significant. In the comparison between survival and death groups, the proportion of initial shockable rhythm was significantly higher in the survival group (75% vs. 20%). CA-Pump On time [61( IQR49.25-69.25)min vs.69( IQR58.0-89.0)min, P=0.287]and ECMO initiation-Pump On time[39( IQR29.25-51.75)min vs.43( IQR34.0-52.0)min, P=0.539] were lower in the survival group, but the differences were not statistically significant. Conclusions:Independent implementation of ECPR for adult cardiac arrest at the county-level primary hospital improves the success rate of resuscitation and enhances patient prognosis. The promotion of ECPR rescue technology in county hospitals is feasible and significant, benefiting a larger population of cardiac arrest patients.

This study aims to observe the effect of Panax notoginseng extracts on inflammatory re-sponse in immunosuppressed broilers and to investigate the mechanism through network pharma-cology and molecular docking combined with in vivo animal tests.Based on the TCMSP database and GeneCard and other disease databases,we searched for targets related to Panax notoginseng and broiler inflammation,screened key compounds and targets by applying Cytoscape 3.7.1 and String databases,respectively,and constructed a network relationship diagram of traditional Chi-nese medicine(TCM)-key components-targets,and carried out GO functional enrichment and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses by using the DAVID platform.The GO functional enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were carried out by the DAVID platform,visual-ized by the Chiplot online website,and finally,the core clustered proteins were analyzed by Pymol software to obtain the core targets,and molecular docking technology was used to predict the de-gree of matching between the active ingredients and the core targets as well as the animal experi-ments to further explore the pharmacological mechanism of Panax notoginseng extracts.Sixty 1-day-old red-feathered broilers were randomly divided into three groups(LPS group,CON group,and PN group),and the test period was 35 days.The LPS and PN groups were injected intraperito-neally with 250 μg/kg body weight of LPS,and the CON group was injected with an equal amount of sterile physiological saline on the 12,14,33,and 35 d.The LPS and PN groups were injected with 250 μg/kg body weight of LPS,and the CON group was injected with an equal amount of sterile physiological saline.The effect of Panax notoginseng extract on inflammatory cytokines in serum was detected by ELISA,and the hormone content in serum was also detected in each group,and fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the effect of each group on the mRNA ex-pression levels of STAT3,IL-6,and CASP3.The results showed that the serum levels of IFN-γ,IL-6,iNOS,TNF-α,and TNF-β were significantly increased(P＜0.05),while the level of IL-10 was significantly decreased(P＜0.05)after LPS tapping at weeks 2 and 5.The serum levels of IFN-y,IL-6,iNOS,TNF-α,and TNF-β were significantly decreased(P＜0.05)and IL-10 was sig-nificantly increased(P＜0.05)by the addition of Panax ginseng extracts to the basal diet com-pared with the LPS group.Panax notoginseng extracts significantly decreased the serum levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone(ACTH)and corticosterone(CORT)(P＜0.05)and increased the levels of growth hormone(GH)(P＜0.05).A total of 8 active ingredients and 123 potential tar-gets for broiler inflammation were predicted by network pharmacology.The protective mechanism of Panax notoginseng against broiler inflammation may be related to the C-type lectin receptor(CLR)signaling pathway,Toll-like receptor(TLR)signaling pathway,MAPK signaling pathway,NOD-like receptor(NLR)signaling pathway,and FoxO signaling pathway.According to the pre-diction,the alleviation of inflammatory response in broiler chickens by Panax notoginseng may be related to the action on 12 key targets.Fluorescence quantitative PCR showed that Panax notogin-seng extract down-regulated the mRNA expression of IL-6 and CASP3(P＜0.05)and up-regula-ted that of STAT3(P＜0.05),and molecular docking results also showed that the active ingredi-ents in Panax notoginseng extracts could exert anti-inflammatory effects through IL-6 and CASP3.The results suggested that Panax quinquefolium extracts might alleviate the inflammatory response of immune-stressed broilers through multi-components,multi-targets,and multi-path-ways,and this study helps propose new therapeutic strategies and provides a theoretical basis for the development of feed additives based on Penthorum chinense Pursh extract.

Objective To explore the effect of thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) on transformation of dendritic cell (DC) and T cell in vitro.Methods Mouse-derived immature dendritic cells and T lymphocytes were co-cultured in vitro,which were divided into 4 groups (TSLP stimulation group,TSLP stimulation and its receptor blocking group,ovalbumin stimulation group and ovalbumin stimulation and TSLP receptor blocking group).IL-4,IL-8 and IFN-β in cell culture supernatant were detected after 2 days by ELISA.SPSS 13.0 software was used to analyze the data.Results IL-4 levels of TSLP receptor blocking groups [(48.84 ± 1.56) pg/ml,(52.53 ± 2.36) pg/ml] were significantly lower than those of corresponding TSLP stimulation group and ovalbumin stimulation group [(72.55 ± 7.76) pg/ml,(80.47 ± 21.93) pg/ml ; t =5.994,P ＜ 0.05 ; t =2.534,P ＜ 0.05].However,there were not significant differences of IL-8 and IFN-β expression between corresponding two groups of whether or not TSLP receptor blocking (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion TSLP receptor blockade in vitro can inhibit T lymphocyte transformation to Th2,which may provide a new therapeutic strategy for clinical Th2 dominant diseases such as allergic rhinitis and asthma.

Digital intraoral scanning is a hot topic in the field of oral digital technology.In recent years,digital intra-oral scanning has gradually become the mainstream technology in orthodontics,prosthodontics,and implant dentistry.The precision of digital intraoral scanning and the accuracy and stitching of data collection are the keys to the success of the impression.However,the operators are less familiar with the intraoral scanning characteristics,imaging process-ing,operator scanning method,oral tissue specificity of the scanned object,and restoration design.Thus far,no unified standard and consensus on digital intraoral scanning technology has been achieved at home or abroad.To deal with the problems encountered in oral scanning and improve the quality of digital scanning,we collected common expert opin-ions and sought to expound the causes of scanning errors and countermeasures by summarizing the existing evidence.We also describe the scanning strategies under different oral impression requirements.The expert consensus is that due to various factors affecting the accuracy of digital intraoral scanning and the reproducibility of scanned images,adopting the correct scanning trajectory can shorten clinical operation time and improve scanning accuracy.The scanning trajec-tories mainly include the E-shaped,segmented,and S-shaped methods.When performing fixed denture restoration,it is recommended to first scan the abutment and adjacent teeth.When performing fixed denture restoration,it is recommend-ed to scan the abutment and adjacent teeth first.Then the cavity in the abutment area is excavated.Lastly,the cavity gap was scanned after completing the abutment preparation.This method not only meets clinical needs but also achieves the most reliable accuracy.When performing full denture restoration in edentulous jaws,setting markers on the mucosal tissue at the bottom of the alveolar ridge,simultaneously capturing images of the vestibular area,using different types of scanning paths such as Z-shaped,S-shaped,buccal-palatal and palatal-buccal pathways,segmented scanning of dental arches,and other strategies can reduce scanning errors and improve image stitching and overlap.For implant restora-tion,when a single crown restoration is supported by implants and a small span upper structure restoration,it is recom-mended to first pre-scan the required dental arch.Then the cavity in the abutment area is excavated.Lastly,scanning the cavity gap after installing the implant scanning rod.When repairing a bone level implant crown,an improved indi-rect scanning method can be used.The scanning process includes three steps:First,the temporary restoration,adjacent teeth,and gingival tissue in the mouth are scanned;second,the entire dental arch is scanned after installing a standard scanning rod on the implant;and third,the temporary restoration outside the mouth is scanned to obtain the three-di-mensional shape of the gingival contour of the implant neck,thereby increasing the stability of soft tissue scanning around the implant and improving scanning restoration.For dental implant fixed bridge repair with missing teeth,the mobility of the mucosa increases the difficulty of scanning,making it difficult for scanners to distinguish scanning rods of the same shape and size,which can easily cause image stacking errors.Higher accuracy of digital implant impres-sions can be achieved by changing the geometric shape of the scanning rods to change the optical curvature radius.The consensus confirms that as the range of scanned dental arches and the number of data concatenations increases,the scanning accuracy decreases accordingly,especially when performing full mouth implant restoration impressions.The difficulty of image stitching processing can easily be increased by the presence of unstable and uneven mucosal mor-phology inside the mouth and the lack of relatively obvious and fixed reference objects,which results in insufficient ac-curacy.When designing restorations of this type,it is advisable to carefully choose digital intraoral scanning methods to obtain model data.It is not recommended to use digital impressions when there are more than five missing teeth.

Ulcerative colitis （UC） is a common chronic digestive system disease in clinic. The disease is repeated and difficult to treat， and the pathogenesis is complex， which is related to oxidative stress response. Nuclear factor E₂-related factor 2 （Nrf2） is an important factor in antioxidant reaction， which regulates the expression of downstream heme oxygen-1 （HO-1）， and plays a role in maintaining redox homeostasis. In the course of UC， the biological activity and content of Nrf2 and HO-1 are decreased， the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory abilities of tissues are weakened， the intestinal epithelial cells are damaged， and the intestinal mucosal barrier is destroyed. At present， western medicine mainly focuses on controlling inflammation and alleviating symptoms in clinical treatment. Although it has a certain effect， there are many problems such as easy recurrence after drug withdrawal and long-term side effects. Studies have shown that Chinese medicine has rich and flexible therapeutic methods and has broad application prospects in the prevention and treatment of UC. In recent years， with Nrf2/HO-1 pathway as the entry point， a large number of basic and clinical experiments on this signal in UC have been carried out in the field of Chinese medicine， and the results show that the intervention of Nrf2/HO-1 pathway is an important potential target for the treatment of UC by Chinese medicines. Based on the etiology and pathogenesis of deficiency-excess in complexity， Chinese medicine regulates Nrf2/HO-1 pathway by clearing heat and detoxifying dampness， activating blood circulation to remove stasis and relieve pain， invigorating Qi， tonifying middle， and warming interior， and treating both symptoms and root causes， to improve the tissue's ability to resist oxidative stress， maintain the balance between pro-inflammatory factors and anti-inflammatory factors， relieve inflammatory response， and play a therapeutic role in UC. This paper summarized and analyzed the effect of Chinese medicine targeting the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway on interfering with UC and its mechanism. The purpose of this study is to provide references for researchers to have a more comprehensive understanding of the mechanism of Chinese medicines in the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway in UC and promote the rational application of Chinese medicines in the prevention and treatment of UC in the future.
