Iliac vein compression syndrome is one of the most common clinical syndromes, which still lacks a consensus guideline. At present, imaging examinations play an important role in diagnosis of iliac vein compression syndrome, including ultrasonography, CT, MR and angiography. The progresses in etiology and imaging of iliac vein compression syndrome were reviewed in this article.

Objective To investigate the current situation of community health service requirements and health-seeking behaviors of the elderly in Yuzhong District of Chongqing City and analyse its mainly influencing factors,in order to provide references for further promoting hierarchical medical pattern.Methods A total of 410 elderly persons aged 60 year old or older treated in four community health service centers in Yuzhong district of Chongqing city in June 2015 were recruited by using multi-stage random sampling technique.The basic information about demography,cognitions and requirements of community health service,cost of health service and health-seeking behaviors were surveyed via questionnaire,and were analysed.Results A total of 402 effective questionnaires were returned,and the effective response rate was 98.05％.There were 76.37％ of elderly persons firstly selected community health service centers for disease treatment.The main factors affected health-seeking behaviors of the elderly were suffering from the coronary heart disease,the waiting time in community health service centers,the medical costs per month,facilities and environment of the community health service centers and whether to pay for health insurance.Conclusion Community health centers should make full use of their own advantages and convenience.It is necessary to provide characteristic services for the corresponding elderly patients,and increase the public health input.All of these are intended to raise the synthesized level of diagnosis and treatment in community health service centers,and change health-seeking behaviors of elderly patients fundamentally.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the response in health-related epidemiological investigation among Chinese population aged 15 and over.We analyzed the specific causes of non-response,and explored the effective ways to improve the response rate,so as to provide reference for future epidemiological studies of this kind.Methods Two modes of studies regarding the prevalence of important cardiovascular diseases were used in Chongqing,during the 12th Five-Year Plan period in oder to find out the cause related to non-response.Intervention programs were carried out to evaluate the effects.Results When using the concentrated mode (CM),the completion rate to the questionnaires was only 20.00％ in the pre-investigation,with the response rate as 13.48％.In the deconcentrated mode (DM),the completion rate was 31.16％,with the response rate as 25.19％.After a series of incentives provided to both the respondents and the project-related core staff in the two modes,response rates of the two modes increased to the expected 60％.Conclusions CM appeared having advantages on quality control,but was more time consuming,with higher cost,and without effective follow-up measures to improve the response rate.However,DM had the advantages on controlling the cost and could increase the response rate through making advanced appointment with the households but quality control remained difficult.Two key points should be strengthened to improve the response rates,which including:Precisely finding out the research objects and providing incentives to the respondents to attract their interests of participating in the investigation.

OBJECTIVE: To ensure the supply of prevention materials in the tertiary public hospitals in prefecturelevel cities, and to make the process of allocating prevention materials more scientific and reasonable. METHODS: Open the green passage, simplify the procurement process, carry out emergency procurement of related materials, ensure timely delivery of prevention materials, distribute them at different levels, and strengthen the warehouse management of prevention materials. RESULTS: The scheme of emergancy supplies was constantly improved, and the supply of prevention materials was completed with good quality. CONCLUSIONS Using scientific and efficient management methods, the supply of prevention materials in medical institutions has been guaranteed, which has experience and reference significance for the prevention and control of similar public health emergencies in the future.

BACKGROUND:Existing studies have confirmed that exosomes can effectively promote pulp regeneration.However,the biological functions and properties of exosomes from preconditioned sources can be significantly changed,which have different effects on cell proliferation,migration and odontogenic differentiation. OBJECTIVE:To discuss the application status of exosomes and their preconditioning methods in the field of pulp regeneration,and summarize the preconditioning methods that affect the function of exosomes,and explore the effect of exosomes and their preconditioning on pulp regeneration. METHODS:The relevant articles were searched in WanFang,CNKI,PubMed,and Web of Science databases from 2006 to 2022.The Chinese and English search terms were"exosomes,pulp regeneration;preconditioning method".A total of 78 articles were included for analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Exosomes have the advantages of good biocompatibility,low immunogenicity and no cytotoxicity,and can induce the regeneration of pulp tissue by promoting stem cell tooth formation,neurogenesis and vascularization.(2)Exosomes derived from preconditioning can enhance the ability of tissue repair and regeneration and have a significant impact on the quality of regenerated dental pulp.(3)Currently,the preconditioning methods used in the field of dental pulp regeneration include inflammatory stimulation,hypoxia induction,conditioned medium and three-dimensional culture,and secreted exosomes can effectively improve the quality of regenerated dental pulp.Nevertheless,the specific effect and mechanism of different preconditioning methods on pulp regeneration need to be explored.

Aldehyde oxidase (AOX) is a molybdoenzyme that is primarily expressed in the liver and is involved in the metabolism of drugs and other xenobiotics. AOX-mediated metabolism can result in unexpected outcomes, such as the production of toxic metabolites and high metabolic clearance, which can lead to the clinical failure of novel therapeutic agents. Computational models can assist medicinal chemists in rapidly evaluating the AOX metabolic risk of compounds during the early phases of drug discovery and provide valuable clues for manipulating AOX-mediated metabolism liability. In this study, we developed a novel graph neural network called AOMP for predicting AOX-mediated metabolism. AOMP integrated the tasks of metabolic substrate/non-substrate classification and metabolic site prediction, while utilizing transfer learning from ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance data to enhance its performance on both tasks. AOMP significantly outperformed the benchmark methods in both cross-validation and external testing. Using AOMP, we systematically assessed the AOX-mediated metabolism of common fragments in kinase inhibitors and successfully identified four new scaffolds with AOX metabolism liability, which were validated through in vitro experiments. Furthermore, for the convenience of the community, we established the first online service for AOX metabolism prediction based on AOMP, which is freely available at https://aomp.alphama.com.cn.
