Enamel demineralization, the formation of white spot lesions, is a common issue in clinical orthodontic treatment. The appearance of white spot lesions not only affects the texture and health of dental hard tissues but also impacts the health and aesthetics of teeth after orthodontic treatment. The prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of white spot lesions that occur throughout the orthodontic treatment process involve multiple dental specialties. This expert consensus will focus on providing guiding opinions on the management and prevention of white spot lesions during orthodontic treatment, advocating for proactive prevention, early detection, timely treatment, scientific follow-up, and multidisciplinary management of white spot lesions throughout the orthodontic process, thereby maintaining the dental health of patients during orthodontic treatment.

Objective:To explore the prognostic value of combined fibrinogen/albumin ratio (FAR) and CA724 in patients with stage Ⅱ/Ⅲ gastric cancer after radical resection.Methods:A total of 932 patients were enrolled in the study, and the best cut-off values of CEA, FAR, NLR and other variables were obtained through ROC curve analysis. According to the FAR-CA724 score, patients were divided into 3 groups: FAR-CA724=0 (CA724<3.43 ng/ml and FAR<0.083), FAR-CA724=1 (CA724≥3.43 ng/ml and FAR≥0.083) and FAR-CA724=2 (CEA≥3.43 ng/ml and FAR≥0.083).Results:After FAR-CA724 grouping, the patient's age (χ 2=12.02, P=0.002), gender (χ 2=15.91, P<0.001), tumor size (χ 2=18.22, P<0.001), hypertension (χ 2=6.35, P=0.042), tumor location (χ 2=26.09, P<0.001), degree of differentiation (χ 2=12.46, P=0.002) and pTNM staging (χ 2=6.68, P=0.035) are significantly different. Survival analysis showed that there were significant differences in OS between the three groups of patients (FAR-CA724=0, 1, and 2: 88.2%, 64.3% and 37.8%, respectively, P<0.001). By multivariate analysis FAR-CA724 is an independent risk factor affecting OS in patients with stage Ⅱ/Ⅲ gastric cancer after radical surgery. Conclusions:Preoperative FAR-CA724 may be a potential blood marker for predicting the prognosis of GC patients.

Objective:To compare the curative effects of different venous cannulas and drainage to improve patient's whole body oxygenation during the auxiliary process of venous-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in lung transplantation.Methods:From December 2016 to December 2019, 12 patients who were assisted by VA-ECMO in one lung transplantation in People's Hospital of Henan Province were selected as the research objects. According to the number of side holes of venous cannulas, they were divided into two groups: one group with few side holes and other group with multiple side holes. The differences in blood gas indexes among the right radial artery, left radial artery, and right internal jugular vein before and after assistance were compared, and the assistance effect was evaluated.Results:The arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO 2) of blood gas indexes of the right and left radial arteries in both groups were significantly higher than that before assistance [mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): right and left radial artery in few side holes group: 79.5±4.2 vs. 48.3±3.8 and 88.1±3.5 vs. 48.3±3.8; right and left radial artery in multiple side holes group: 67.7±5.9 vs. 48.7±3.2 and 84.0±3.8 vs. 48.7±3.2, all P < 0.05]. The arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2) of blood gas index was significantly lower than that before assistance (mmHg: 44.2±2.6 vs. 71.7±4.4 for the right radial artery and 44.7±1.4 vs. 71.7±4.4 for the left radial artery in the group with few side holes; 46.2±2.1 vs. 71.2±3.5 for the right radial artery and 44.1±1.9 vs. 71.2±3.5 for the left radial artery in the group with multiple side holes, all P < 0.05). The partial pressure of oxygen in venous blood (PvO 2) of blood gas index of ECMO system in the group with few side holes was significantly lower than that of the multiport side holes group (mmHg: 56.4±3.2 vs. 88.7±1.5, P < 0.01), and the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in venous blood (PvCO 2) was significantly higher than that of multiport side holes group (mmHg: 63.6±3.7 vs. 44.2±1.7, P < 0.01). Conclusions:When VA-ECMO is used in lung transplantation, the superior vena cava blood flow can be fully drained by using intravenous cannula with few side holes. It can effectively improve the oxygenation of the upper body of lung transplant patients, avoid the dilemma of hypoxemia in the upper body and hyperxemia in the lower body, provide more effective assistance to patients undergoing single lung transplantation, and is more meaningful for improving the oxygenation status of the whole body in patients undergoing single lung transplantation.

Objective To explore the effects of patient-participating nursing mode in improving the nursing quality for chemotherapy patients in day-care ward. Methods A total of 80 cases of chemotherapy patients in the Day-care Ward of Ningbo First Hospital from April to September 2017 were selected and randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 40 patients in each group. Routine nursing care was applied in the control group. On the basis of routine nursing, patient-participating nursing mode was applied in the experimental group. The safety of intravenous chemotherapy (venous exudation and phlebitis), patient satisfaction and quality of life of the two groups were observed and compared. Results The incidences of phlebitis, venous exudation and patient satisfaction of the control group were 22.5%, 5.0% and 80.0% respectively. Those of the observation group were 15.0%, 0% and 97.5% respectively, and the differences were statistically significant (P< 0.05). After the application of patient-participating nursing mode, the patients in the observation group were superior to the control group in their overall condition, body, role, cognition, emotion and social support. The scores of fatigue, insomnia, loss of appetite, diarrhea and constipation were lower than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). There were no statistical differences in the incidences of nausea and vomiting, pain and shortness of breath (P> 0.05). Conclusions Patient-participating nursing mode is conducive to improve the safety and effectiveness of intravenous chemotherapy, reduce the adverse reactions of chemotherapy, and improve patient satisfaction and quality of life to some extent.

Objective To investigate a retrieval strategy for dentistry literature based on medical subject headings (MeSH). Methods We analysed the MeSH Tree Structures of PubMed in 2009 and combined it with the core glossary of dentistry to find out highly frequent dental words in MeSH. Then 6 words were singled out from the whole MeSh Tree to apply for a retrieval strategy for dentistry literatures. Results 102,500 pieces of dentistry literature were obtained from the year 2006 to 2008. Conclusions This research strategy can improve the efficiency of literature search in dentistry field for clinical or laboratory researches.

Objective To analyze the result of late course accelerated hyperfractionation (LCAFR) and three dimensional conformal radiotherapy plus concurrent chemotherapy (LCAFR+C)on stage Ⅲ esophageal carcinoma. Methods Ninety-eight patients with stage Ⅲ esophageal carcinoma were divided randomly into two groups:1. LCAFR group: patients were treated with conventional fractionated radiotherapy during the first two-thirds of the treatment to a dose of 40?Gy in 20 fractions over 4 weeks, then followed by LCAFR with reduced fields using three dimensional conformal radiotherapy to a dose of 15-24?Gy over 7-12 days, 1.5Gy per fraction, to the total dose of 55-64?Gy in 30～36 fractions over 35-40 days. 2. LCAFR+C group:The radiotherapy schedule was the same as the LCAFR group,but with concurrent chemotherapy of DDP 20?mg d1-5, LF 200?mg and 5-Fu 500?mg d 6-10 , 28 days in one cycle to totally 5 cycles. Results The 1-, 2-, and 3-year actuarial survival rates were 73%, 53%, 35% and 76%, 73%, 55% respectively (? 2=4.12,P
