Objective:To explore the effect and safety of mesenchymal stem cell exosome microneedle introduction in the treatment of melasma.Methods:Thirty cases of female patients with stable melasma in the Department of Dermatology, Changsha Meilai Medical Beauty Hospital, aged (36±5) years and with a disease duration of (42.4±20.7) months, from July 2021 to July 2022, were retrospectively included. According to Fitzpatrick skin typing, 23 cases of type Ⅲ and 7 cases of type Ⅳ were included. All patients were locally anesthetized with lidocaine cream for 30 min, and rolled with a 0.5 mm needle in a zigzag pattern with even force, in the order of the right cheek, the left cheek, the forehead, the nose, the mandible, and the upper lip. During the rolling process, 3 ml of MSC exosome medical liquid wound dressing was applied to the facial skin, and after it was fully absorbed, exosome was locally readministered in the area of melasma. Treatment ended with a slight redness at the site of application. 1 MSC exosome wound dressing was appllied as a cold compress for 15 min after treatment. Treatment was given once every 2 weeks for 6 consecutive sessions. All the patients were followed up at 4 and 12 weeks after the last session, and the area and severity index of melasma (MASI) were scored before and after the treatment, the clinical efficiency and patient satisfaction rate and the incidence of adverse reactions were also counted.Results:At 4 and 12 weeks after the end of treatment, the skin color of all 30 patients was brighter than that before treatment, and no recurrence of melasma symptoms seen. At 12 weeks after the end of treatment, the decrease rate of MASI score was 66.1%, among which the decrease rate of MASI score in patients with type Ⅲ melasma was 63.9%, and the decrease rate of MASI score in patients with type Ⅳ melasma was 63.9%. Among the 30 patients, 1 case was cured, 25 cases showed obvious improved, 4 cases were improved, and no cases were ineffective, with an effective rate of 86.7% (26/30). Five patients were very satisfied, 18 patients were satisfied, 6 patients were generally satisfied, and 1 patient was dissatisfied; the patient satisfaction rate was 76.7% (23/30). No serious adverse reactions occurred in all patients.Conclusions:MSC exosome microneedle introduction is safe and effective in the treatment of melasma without serious adverse reactions.

Objective:To explore the effect of postoperative delirium risk management in elderly patients with hip fragility fracture based on failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) theory, and to provide a basis for reducing the incidence of postoperative delirium.Methods:A total of 50 patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University due to hip fragility fractures from January to December 2019 were selected as the control group, and 50 patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University for hip fragility fractures from January to December 2020 were selected as the observation group. The control group received routine care, and the observation group implemented risk control intervention measures based on FMEA theory on the basis of the control group. The risk priority number (RPN) value, incidence of delirium, duration of delirium, pain score, satisfaction, and average length of hospital stay were compared between the two groups of patients in each link of failure risk.Results:The RPN values of each link failure risk of the observation group were 100.80 ± 13.39, 103.96 ± 9.96, 103.76 ± 8.04, delirium duration was (36.33 ± 9.07) min, pain scores were 1.86 ± 0.76, 4.16 ± 1.17, average length of stay was (8.98 ± 4.64) days, and incidence of delirium was 6.0% (3/50), the RPN values of each link failure risk of the control group were 274.10 ± 8.48, 291.00 ± 10.10, 287.78 ± 11.64, delirium duration (78.70 ± 20.10) min, pain scores 2.26 ± 1.02, 4.74 ± 1.19, average length of stay was (11.50 ± 7.66) days, and incidence of delirium was 22.0% (11/50). The differences between two groups showed significant differences ( t values were 1.99-93.24, χ2=4.07, P<0.05). The patient satisfaction score of the observation group was 99.36 ± 1.01, which was higher than that of the control group 89.63 ± 2.62, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=24.50, P<0.05). Conclusions:The perioperative implementation of postoperative delirium risk management model based on FMEA theory in elderly patients with hip fractures can reduce the incidence of postoperative delirium, relieve pain, shorten hospital stay, and improve satisfaction degree. It is worthy of clinical promotion.

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence and characteristics of depressive symptoms among urban elderly six years after Lushan earthquake in Ya'an, so as to provide references for the mental health interventions for elderly following catastrophic stressful life events. MethodsFrom March to April 2019, a multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method was adopted to enroll 885 urban elderly people aged 60 and above in Ya'an. A self-compiled questionnaire was used to collect the general demographic information, health-related and disaster-related information, meantime, the elderly was assessed using Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-30). Thereafter, univariate and multivariate Logistic regression were applied to explore the influencing factors of depressive symptoms in urban elderly. ResultsA total of 783 valid questionnaires were collected, with a questionnaires response rate of 88.47%. Depressive symptoms were detected in 161 cases (20.56%). The prevalence of depression showed statistical differences among the elderly of different gender, age, marital status, family relationship, monthly per capita household income, physical exercise status, health status, self-care ability, sleep status and disaster-affected degree (P<0.05 or 0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that the urban elderly of the female gender (OR=1.552, P=0.040), monthly per capita household income of 2000~3000 yuan (OR=6.982, P<0.01), monthly per capita household income≤2000 yuan (OR=6.857, P<0.01), lack of physical exercise (OR=1.693, P<0.01), being less capable of self-care (OR=3.838, P<0.01), being incapable of self-care (OR=8.547, P<0.01), complicating multiple curable diseases (OR=4.892, P<0.01) and complicating refractory chronic diseases (OR=5.657, P=0.031) were at high risk of depressive symptoms. The risk of depressive symptoms among the divorced or widowed elderly was greater than that among married elderly (OR=0.063, P<0.01). ConclusionThe prevalence of depressive symptoms is relatively high among the urban elderly six years after Lushan earthquake in Ya'an, moreover, female gender, low monthly per capita household income, lack of physical exercise, being incapable of self-care and poor health status are risk factors affecting the depressive symptom, while being married is a protective factor.

Objective:
To study the effect of stem cell factor (SCF) on the angiogenic ability of cocultured dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).
Methods :
This study has been reviewed and approved by the Ethics Committee. The experiment was split into the HUVECs, SCF+HUVECs, DPSCs+HUVECs, and SCF+DPSCs+HUVECs groups. A mixture of SCF and culture medium was used to prepare a mixed culture medium with an SCF concentration of 100 ng/mL. In vitro coculture of DPSCs and HUVECs was performed at a 1∶5 ratio. CCK-8 proliferation assay was used to observe the proliferative capacity of cells in each group on days 1, 3, 5, and 7. Wound healing and Transwell migration assays were used to detect the effect of SCF on cell migration under either direct or indirect coculture conditions, respectively. In vitro angiogenesis experiments were performed to detect the angiogenic capacity of the cells in each group. The vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) concentration in the cell culture supernatant was detected using ELISAs, and the protein expression levels of CD31, CD34, and VEGFA were detected using Western blot analysis.
Results :
Wound healing and Transwell migration experiments showed that SCF significantly promoted the migration of cocultured DPSCs and HUVECs (P<0.05). The in vitro angiogenesis experiment showed that the number of branches and the total length of branches of tubular structures in the SCF+DPSCs+HUVECs group were significantly greater than those of the other groups (P<0.05), and the expression levels of the vascular-related proteins CD31, CD34, and VEGFA in this group were greater (P<0.01).
Conclusion
SCF can enhance the migration and in vitro angiogenesis of cocultured DPSCs and HUVECs.

Oral microbial community, as an important part of human microbial community, is closely related to oral and general health. Oral microbiological research has become the forefront of international microbiological research. Standardized and unified nomenclature for oral microorganisms in Chinese is of great significance to support the development of oral medicine research. Standardized translation of microbial names is the basis for writing canonical and authoritative professional textbooks and reference books, which helps students to accurately acquire the characteristics and classifications of oral microbes. Unified translation of oral microorganisms is also conducive to academic communication and cooperation, and plays an important role in oral health education and science popularization, which enables oral microbiology knowledge to be accurately disseminated to the public. Therefore, in order to standardize the words in scientific research, funding application, publications, academic exchanges and science popularization within the field of oral medicine, we have fully discussed and revised the Chinese names of oral microorganisms in 2017 edition and ones of newly discovered oral microbes, finally reaching a consensus to form the 2023 edition of Chinese names of oral microorganisms.
