Impaired wound healing in diabetes is a significant clinical problem which is thought to be associated with neuropathy and angiopathy previously . The present study indicates that accumulation of glucose and glycometabolic products in skin tissue, as the result of glycometabolic disorders, which contributes to cutaneous environmental alterations in diabetes mellitus, and subsequently induces the abnormal cell behaviors, cytokine alteration and matrix modification. Thus, diabetic neuropathy and angiopathy might be regarded as the pathological outcome of cutaneous environmental alterations. In conclusion, glycometabolism disorders could be described as one of the initial events for the alteration involving in the underlying cutaneous disorder which impair healing process. The related research focuses on the initial event of controlling disorders in wound healing and therefore contribute to providing the strategy of treatment as based on these approaches.

Malocclusion is one of the three most common oral diseases reported by World Health Organization(WHO). In China, its incidence rate is rising. Malocclusion seriously affects the dental and maxillofacial function, facial appearance and growth development of nearly 260 million children in China, and what is more, it affects their physical and mental health development. Malocclusion occurrence is related to genetic and environmental factors. Early treatment of malocclusion can create a good dental and maxillofacial development environment, correct abnormal growth and control the adverse effects of abnormal genetic factors. It can effectively reduce the prevalence of children's malocclusion and enhance their physical and mental health. This is an urgent need from the economic perspective of our society, so it has great practical and social significance. Experts from the project group "standard diagnose and treatment protocols for early orthodontic intervention of malocclusions of children" which initiated by China National Health Institute of Hospital Administration wrote the "China Experts' Consensus on Preventive and Interceptive Orthodontic Treatments of Malocclusions of Children", which aims to guide and popularize the clinical practice, improve the clinical theory and practice level, and accelerate the disciplinary development of early treatment of children's malocclusion in China. The consensus elaborates the harmfulness of malocclusion and the necessity of early treatment, and brings up the principles and fundamental contents. Based on the law of dental and maxillofacial development, this paper puts forward the guiding suggestions of preventive and interceptive treatments in different stages of dental development ranging from fetus to early permanent dentition. It is a systematic project to promote and standardize the early treatment of malocclusion. Through scientific and comprehensive stratified clinical practice and professional training, the clinical system of early treatment of malocclusion in China will eventually be perfected, so as to comprehensively care for children's dental and maxillofacial health, and improve their oral and physical health in China.
