A case with horizontal and vertical bone deficiency at the maxillary esthetic area is reported.A titanium disk was applied to maintain the space for guided bone regeneration,and ridge splitting and bone compressing technique were used to prepare the site.Finally,the restoration of implant tooth with favorable esthetic outcome was obtained.

Objective To evaluate the diagnosis and emergency surgical treatment of ruptured intracerebral aneurysms (RIAs) accompanied with intracerebral hematomas (ICH).Methods A retrospective study was performed on the clinical data of 23 patients ofICH following RIAs,admitted to our hospital from May 2009 to September 2013.CTA was performed in 17 patients and cranial CT in 6 before the operation.The emergent operations were performed in all the patients within 24 hours of aneurysm rupture; pterion approach was adopted to clip the arterial aneurysm and clear intracerebral hematoma.Results According to Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) scores,4 recovered well,6 were mildly disabled,8 were severely disabled and 5 died.After follow-up for 3.3 years in 15 patients,no further bleeding occurred.Eight aneurysms were re-checked by CTA,7 aneurysms were completely clipped and 1 aneurysm had residual neck.Conclusions Preoperative CTA is essential for the correct diagnosis of ICHs due to RIA.The curative effect of the emergent operation can improve the survival rate and prognosis of patients with RIA accompanied with ICH.

ObjectiveTo investigate the value of preoperative prognostic nutritional index (PNI) in postoperative survival prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients.Methods Clinical data of 322 HCC patients undergoing radical resection in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between January 2006 and December 2009 were retrospectively studied. Among the 322 patients, 286 were males and 36 were females with the age ranging from 21 to 79 years old and the median age of 51 years old. The informed consents of all patients were obtained and the local ethical committee approval had been received. PNI value was calculated according to the examination results 1 week before surgery, then the patients were divided into the high PNI group (n=253) and low PNI group (n=69). The relationship between PNI and postoperative survival time was observed, and the value of preoperative PNI in postoperative survival prognosis was analyzed. The survival analysis was conducted using Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank test, and the multivariate analysis was conducted using Cox proportional hazards model.ResultsThe 1-, 3-, 5-year disease free survival rate was respectively 48.0%, 34.9% and 31.3% in high PNI group, and 33.3%, 15.8% and 11.7% in low PNI group. The disease free survival in high PNI group was significantly better than that in low PNI group (χ2=9.990,P<0.05). The 1-, 3-, 5-year overall survival rate was respectively 72.3%, 49.0% and 42.6% in high PNI group, and 65.2%, 36.2% and 25.9% in low PNI group. The overall survival in high PNI group was significantly better than that in low PNI group (χ2=8.172,P<0.05). The results of the multivariate analysis showed that AFP, tumor number, tumor diameter, portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) and PNI were the independent risk factors for disease free survival rate (HR=1.355, 0.783, 2.295, 1.920, 0.710;P<0.05), and tumor number, tumor diameter, PVTT and PNI were the independent risk factors for overall survival rate (HR=0.780, 2.340, 2.013, 0.653;P<0.05).ConclusionsPreoperative PNI is the independent risk factor for postoperative survival prognosis of HCC patients and can be used as the common index for predicting postoperative survival of HCC patients.

Objective: To understand the present situation of physical activity and its influencing factors, and to provide a reference for improving the level of physical activity and making the intervention measures. Methods: The method of random stratification was used to select 4 740 pre school children aged 3-6 from 17 kindergartens in 12 counties and districts of Nanchang City, The questionnaire of physical activities of young children and the questionnaire of parents of physical activities of young children were applied to conduct a survey. Results: Compared with weekday PA and MVPA, preschool children’s weekends decreased, SB increased. The differences in PA, MVPA and SB on weekdays and weekends were statistically significant( P <0.01). The proportion of PA and MVPA reaching the recommended amount during the working day of preschool children were 44.9%-59.2%, 45.4%- 61.7%.The proportion reaching the recommended amount of PA and MVPA on weekends were 24.7%-27.8%, 24.5%-29.9%, and the proportion reaching the recommended amount on weekdays was higher than that on weekends. Conclusion There is still gap between actual amount of physical activity and the recommended amount. There are different modes of activity on weekdays and weekends, and weekends are the least active periods. Parents and teachers should pay enough attention to the establishment of "social campus family" model to improve the lack of physical activity of preschool children.

Objective: Based on physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) variables on weekdays and weekends, the study aims to cluster the physical activities inside and outside kindergartens and to explore the cluster characteristics of different children using physical fitness indicators, so as to provide new strategies and methods for early childhood education and health. Methods: From March to June 2019, 291 children aged 3-6 years from 6 kindergartens in Nanchang were recruited by a stratified cluster random sampling method. The ActiGraph GT3X-BT triaxial accelerometer was used to measure and analyze the PA and SB levels inside and outside the kindergarten. A twostep clustering algorithm model was employed for cluster analysis. Physical fitness were measured and evaluated according to the "National Physical Fitness Measurement Standard Manual (Preschool Section)". Differences in physical fitness among different clusters of children were compared, and the cluster characteristics of different children were analyzed. Results: The clustering algorithm model indicated that based on six indicators, including PA and SB inside the kindergarten on weekdays, and PA and SB outside the kindergarten on both weekdays and weekends, children could be divided into three categories:active inside (high PA, low SB inside), active outside (high PA outside), and inactive (low PA, high SB both inside and outside). The average silhouette coefficient of the model was 0.3, indicating good clustering results. Both the active inside and active outside children showed significantly higher PA inside on weekdays, PA outside on weekdays and weekends, daily low intensity physical activity (LPA) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) than the inactive children ( F=157.91, 80.79 , 95.86, 95.52, 124.74, P <0.05). After adjusting for gender and age, the physical fitness scores of both active outside ( 19.03 ±0.47) and active inside (19.11±0.40) were significantly higher than those of the inactive children (17.94±0.31). Additionally, active inside children (3.91±0.14) also showed significantly better performance in continuous double-leg jumps, compared to inactive children (3.45±0.11) ( P <0.05). Conclusion Children active inside and those active outside perform well in PA. Future research should focus on the proportion of structured and unstructured PA time to enhance the overall physical fitness of children.

Objective: To investigate the effects of physical activity (PA) intensity and sedentary behavior (SB) on calcanues bone mineral density (BMD) in preschool children, so as to provide a basis for rationalizing the daily physical activity of preschool children to promote bone health. Methods: A total of 673 pre school children aged 3-6 years from nine kindergartens in Pingxiang City, Ganzhou City and Yingtan City of Jiangxi Province, were selected from September to December 2021 by using the whole stratified cluster random sampling method. The PA levels and SB were measured by using a three axis acceleration sensor, and left calcanues BMD was measured by an ultrasound bone densitometer. Multiple linear regression was used to explore the effects of changes in PA on calcanues BMD in pre school children of all ages. Results: Of the 673 preschoolers surveyed, 498 (74.0%) achieved an average of ≥60 min of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) per day, there were 265 boys (71.2%), and 233 girls ( 77.4 %). The difference between genders was not statistically significant ( χ 2=2.77, P >0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the BMD test of the calcaneus bones of preschoolers by gender ( Z=0.42, P >0.05). The difference in BMD results of pre school children with 3, 4, 5 to 6 years was statistically significant ( H=2.65, P <0.05). Correlation analysis revealed a negative correlation between SB duration and calcaneus BMD ( r =-0.13), and a positive correlation between low intensity physical activity (LPA) duration, MVPA duration, and calcaneus BMD ( r =0.14, 0.25 ) ( P <0.05). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that SB duration negatively correlated with calcaneus BMD, whereas LPA and MVPA duration positively correlated with calcaneus BMD ( P <0.05). Conclusions MVPA duration is positively correlated with the growth of BMD in the heel bone and negatively correlated with SB. The kindergartens can adjust their curricula according to the physical and mental developmental characteristics, gender and age differences of pre school children, increase the time of outdoor activities, and reduce the sedentary time to promote the bone health of young children.

Objective:To evaluate the current status of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) detection, a comparability analysis was conducted on the results measured by eight automated immunoassay systems, incorporating external quality assessment (EQA) data from the Beijing Center for Clinical Laboratories (BCCL) for the years 2020, 2021, and 2023.Methods:Methodological evaluation. Abbott Architect i2000, Beckman DxI 800, Roche Cobas E601, Diasorin Liaison XL, Maccura IS1200, Autolumo A2000, Leadman CI1000, and Mindray CL-2000i were used to detect 40 individual AFP serum samples that were collected from the laboratory of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital in 2019. The AFP results from eight different systems were compared with the median cohort. Passing-Bablok regression was used to evaluate the correlation between methods, and the concordance correlation coefficient was used to analyse the consistency between methods. Taking the optimal biological variability (±5.90%) as the criterion for bias evaluation, the bias between systems was evaluated using Bland-Altman analysis. The EQA results for AFP from BCCL over the past three years were statistically analysed to calculate the robust mean, robust coefficient of variation ( CV), and standard uncertainty within groups. The acceptance limit is based on the requirement of desirable biological variability (±21.87%) of allowable total error, and the pass rates were calculated for instrument or method groups, respectively. Results:The CVs of the eight detection systems were all≤1/3 allowable total error (±8.3%), passing the precision verification. The average relative biases between two detection systems (Roche Cobas E601 and Maccura IS1200) and the median cohort were>±5.90%, while the other six detection systems were<±5.90%. The eight detection systems showed good correlation and consistency with the median cohort (both R2 and concordance correlation coefficients>0.95). The results of EQA showed that there were no statistically significant differences in the robust means within each instrument or method group ( P>0.05). In the instrument group, except for Siemens and two other groups, the robust CVs of other groups were within 9%. The pass rates of most instruments and methods after being grouped were higher than the total pass rate, but that of the enzyme immunoassay chemiluminescence method was relatively low. Conclusions:The eight automated AFP immunoassay systems show a good correlation with the median cohort, and the consistency of AFP detection results is satisfactory among most detection systems. However, the comparability of AFP detection results for certain systems needs further improvement.

Objective To investigate the expression and potential role of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleo?protein A2B1 (HNRNPA2B1) in mouse cerebellar development and the significance of HNRNPA2B1 in human medulloblastoma. Methods The data of HNRNPA2B1 RNA expression in mouse and human cerebella were obtained from databases. Western blot and immunohistochemical staining were performed to detect the protein level of HNRNPA2B1 in mouse cerebella at different ages. The expression level of HNRNPA2B1 in control human cerebellum and medulloblastoma was detected by immunohistochemical staining. m6A?IP?qPCR method was applied to confirm whether HNRNPA2B1 RNA in Daoy cells was modified with m6A.Western blot was used to detect the effect of MG132 treatment on the HNRNPA2B1 protein level in Daoy cells. Results The level of HNRNPA2B1 protein in postnatal mouse cerebella was higher than that in adult mouse cerebella, with weak HNRNPA2B1 staining in external granular cells while strong staining in mature Purkinje cells and molecular layer. Compared with control normal human cerebella, the RNA expression level of HNRNPA2B1 increased in medulloblastoma, while immunohistochemical staining showed that the mean intensity of HNRNPA2B1 decreased in medulloblastoma. HNRNPA2B1 RNA in medulloblastoma and Daoy cells was modified by m6A. The HNRNPA2B1 protein level in Daoy cells increased upon MG132 treatment. Conclusions HNRNPA2B1 is dynamically expressed during mouse cerebellar development. Compared with normal human cerebella, HNRNPA2B1 is significantly up?regulated at transcriptional level but obviously down?regulated at translational level in medulloblastoma. These results indicate that HNRNPA2B1 may be involved in cerebellar development process and medulloblastoma tumorigenesis. The m6A methylation in HNRNPA2B1 transcript and protein ubiquitin?proteasome pathway may account for the down?regulation of HNRNPA2B1 at protein level.

Conclusions HNRNPA2B1 is dynamically expressed during mouse cerebellar development. Compared with normal human cerebella, HNRNPA2B1 is significantly up-regulated at transcriptional level but obviously down-regulated at translational level in medulloblastoma. These results indicate that HNRNPA2B1 may be involved in cerebellar development process and medulloblastoma tumorigenesis. The m6A methylation in HNRNPA2B1 transcript and protein ubiquitin-proteasome pathway may account for the down-regulation of HNRNPA2B1 at protein level.
