This article reported a prenatally diagnosed case of complete ring chromosome 15. A 38-year-old woman who conceived by in vitro fertilization and frozen embryo transfer underwent amniocentesis for prenatal diagnosis at 18 +5 weeks of gestation due to advanced maternal age. The result of G-banding karyotyping was mos 46,XX,r(15)[88]/45,X,-15[11]/46,XX,r(15;15)[1]. No numerical abnormalities of chromosomes or definite pathogenic copy number variations (CNVs) were detected by chromosomal microarray analysis. Amniocentesis was performed again at 31 +6 weeks of gestation. The result of genome copy number variation sequencing indicated no pathogenic CNV and fluorescence in situ hybridization on cultured amniocytes revealed nuc ish(15q)×1[15]/(15q)×3[5]/(15q)×2[80]. Based on all the prenatal diagnosis results, it was suggested that the fetus carried a complete ring chromosome 15. As the peripheral blood chromosomes of the couple were normal and no obvious abnormalities were detected by the prenatal ultrasound either in our hospital or another hospital, the pregnant woman decided to continue the pregnancy after genetic counseling and delivered a baby girl at 41 weeks of gestation. The girl showed no physical abnormalities during a seven-month follow-up.

Peri-implantitis, characterized by inflammation of tissues around implants and gradual loss of supporting bone tissue, has become one of the main causes for implant failure. Thoroughly removing the plaque biofilm on the implant surface is the first principle in the treatment of peri-implantitis. For this reason, various decontamination methods have been proposed, which can be divided into 2 categories: Removing biofilm and killing microorganisms according to the effect of plaque biofilm on the implant surface. However, at present, there is no decontamination method that can completely remove the plaque biofilm on the implant surface, and it lacks of clinical recommended guidelines. To understand the advantages and disadvantages, effectiveness and safety for different implant surface decontamination methods is of great significance to guide the clinical selection for peri-implantitis treatment.
