【Objective】 To explore the clinical value of thromboelas-tography, coagulation four items and platelet count in guiding platelet transfusion in critically ill patients. 【Methods】 A total of 188 critically ill patients in Intensive Care Unit of our hospital from January 2020 to January 2022 were selected as subjects, and were divided into study group(n=89) and the control(n=99) according to the presence of bleeding symptoms. T-test was used for comparative analysis between the two groups. Spearman was used to analyze the correlation between TEG, coagulation four items and platelet count, and binary Logistic regression analysis was used to predict the influential factors of bleeding in critically ill patients, ROC curve was used to analyze the guiding value of the above-mentioned indexes for platelet transfusion. 【Results】 1) K and PT values in the study group, above the normal range, were significantly higher than those in the control, while the Angle value, MA value, CI value, FIB value and platelet count were significantly lower than those of the control, among which MA value, CI value and platelet count were below the normal range. 2) TEG, coagulation four items and platelet count were correlated. MA and CI values were positively correlated with platelet count, instead, R and K values were negatively correlated. R value was positively correlated with PT and APTT, CI value, on the contrary, was negatively correlated, K value was positively correlated with PT, while Angle value and MA value were negatively correlated. 3) Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that decreased MA value and decreased platelet count were independent risk factors for predicting bleeding in critically ill patients(P<0.05). 4) ROC curve analysis showed that the areas under ROC curve corresponding to Angle value, MA value, CI value, FIB value and platelet count were 0.866, 0.932, 0.9, 0.838 and 0.987(P<0.05). The sensitivity was highest in platelet count and lowest in FIB. The specificity was highest in MA and lowest in Angle. Compared with the single index, the area under the curve of the combined index(K value, MA value, CI value, PT value and platelet count) was 0.995(P<0.05), Yoden index 0.944, sensitivity 100%, specificity 93.3%, all higher than the individual index. 【Conclusion】 Thromboelas-tography combined with coagulation four items and platelet count can be used to accurately predict the critically ill patients with bleeding risk. To guide clinical platelets transfusion, the combined use of indexes, including K value, MA, CI value, PT and platelet count, is superior to separate use of them as the former showed better sensitivity and specificity, demonstrating a good clinical value.

Early life stress in humans can affect the normal development of individual neural networks, ultimately leading to diseases such as anxiety, depression, and autism in such children. The maternal separation model is commonly used to study the effects of early adverse experiences in human infants. Studies have shown that maternal separation in mice can lead to anxiety, depression, and impairments in spatial learning and memory in young mice during adulthood. However, enriched environmental interventions have been found to ameliorate the negative outcomes of early life stress by exerting a range of beneficial effects. This article provides an overview of the positive effects of enriched environmental interventions on mice in the maternal separation model.

Objective :
To research the feasibility and preliminary clinical effect of an implant-supported fixed bridge based on interactions with the posterior interocclusal space deficiency.
Methods:
Four patients with multiple implant-supported fixed-bridge restorations for interocclusal space deficiency in posterior teeth were included in this study. The 8 total implant sites had an average interocclusal space size of 3.3 mm. Two abutments with an undercut area were performed, the fixed bridge was placed by rotating it without a common path of insertion, and the abutment screw was then tightened. In the production process, the interaction retention concept and methods were fully communicated to the technician. The abutments and bridges on the implants were placed, and the clinical effect was observed.
Results:
The prosthesis was fixed well and presented appropriate functioning. At the 3-month and 18-month follow-up examination, the prosthesis and abutments were not loose, and the abutments did not release or break. No swelling or tenderness was observed in the margin of the implants.
Conclusion
The interaction retention is a good method of resolving the problem of interocclusal space deficiencies in the posterior teeth.

Objective:
Abstract: Objective: To investigate the expression and significance of miR-138 and programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) in the patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods:
A total of 30 patients with HBV-related HCC, 20 with HBV-related cirrhosis (LC) and 30 with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) were recruited from Jiaozuo People′s Hospital. The blood samples from all patients and the peritoneal effusion samples from HCC and LC patients were collected. The levels of miR-138 and soluble PD-1 (sPD-1) in blood and peritoneal effusion samples were detected by real-time PCR and ELISA, respectively. The expressions of PD-1 in T lymphocytes were measured with flow cytometry and western blot. The targeting effect of miR-138 on the 3′-non-coding region (3′-UTR) of PD-1 gene was verified by the dual-luciferase reporter gene system.
Results:
The relative expression levels of miR-138 in the peritoneal effusion and plasma of HBV-related HCC patients were significantly lower than those in LC and CHB patients (P<0.05). The serum sPD-1 levels and the expression levels of PD-1 in CD3 + T lymphocytes of HBV-related HCC patients were significantly higher than those in LC and CHB patients (P<0.05). The relative expression levels of miR-138 were negatively correlated with serum sPD-1 levels and the expression levels of PD-1 in CD3 + T lymphocytes (P<0.05). The dual-luciferase reporter gene system and western blot results demonstrated that there was a targeting relationship between miR-138 and the 3′-UTR of PD-1 gene. After miR-138 was transfected, the expression level of PD-1 was significantly down-regulated.
Conclusion
miR-138 participates in the development and progression of HBV-related HCC probably by targeting PD-1.
