Objective To explore the clinical method and effect of ultrasonic osteotomy in mandibular angle reduction.Methods Under intronasal approach and general anesthesia,30 patients (5 male patients and 25 female patients) underwent intraoral prominent mandibular angle reductions with ultrasonic osteotomy.The jaw bone under periosteum was explored and the mental nerves protected.According to the clinical features of mandibular angle,curved mandibular angle osteotomy,mandible margin osteotomy or outer cotex splitting osteotomy were performed.Results All the osteotomy of prominent mandibular angle reductions could be completed with ultrasonic osteotomy.There were no complications of bleeding,nerve injury and malfracture happened.After 1 year following-up,the outlines of lower mandible were natural and concordant.Compared with traditional osteotomy devices,ultrasonic osteotomy was smoother and more precisely.Conclusions Ultrasonic osteotomy can improve the precise and safty of mandibular angle reduction.but compared with traditional osteotomy devices,it takes more time for osteotomy procedure.Surgeons need adapt to the different feeling and control methods.

Objective To investigate the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of diuretic mixture and its bacteriostasis effect in vitro,and to provide scientific basis for clinical application.Methods Ear swelling test induced by xylene,twisting reaction test induced by acetic acid,capillary permeability increase in abdominal cavity of mice induced by acetic acid,and pain test induced by formalin were used to observe the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of diuretic mixture at high,middle and low doses (crude drug 18.0,9.0,and 4.5 g/kg).Bacteriostatic activities of diuretic mixture were tested by K-B paper disc diffusion method.Results Diuretic mixture alleviated ear edema in mouse model at high dose (P < 0.01).Diuretic mixture at high,middle,and low dose could effectively decrease the twisting reaction (P < 0.01),inhibit capillary permeability (P < 0.05 or 0.01),and ease the ache degree of mice induced by formalin in the first phase (P < 0.01),but there was no significant difference in the degree of pain intensity of phase Ⅱ.The inhibitory rates of diuretic mixture on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were 95.04% and 37.44%,respectively.Conclusion Diuretic mixture has significant effects on analgesia and anti-inflammation and against S.aureus and E.coli in vitro.

AIM: To investigate the effects of metformin on airway inflammation, remodeling and neovascularization in a mouse model of chronic asthma and its possible mechanisms.METHODS: BALB/c mice were randomly divided into saline group, ovalbumin (OVA) group and OVA+metformin group, with 8 in each.At the end of OVA exposure, blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were collected for the measurement of OVA specific IgE and leukocyte counts.Lung tissue sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin, periodic acid-Schiff and Masson's trichrome to detect inflammatory cell infiltration, goblet cell hyperplasia, and collagen deposition around the airway, respectively.Immunohistochemistry was used to evaluate the number and percentage area of new blood vessels (CD31+), and the protein level of phosphorylated AMP-activated protein kinase (p-AMPK) in the airway.RESULTS: Compared with saline group, the eosinophil percentage and OVA specific IgE in serum in OVA group were all increased obviously (P<0.01).Metformin inhibited the above increases (P<0.05).Compared with control group, a marked increase in inflammation infiltration, PAS+ cells and collage deposition in the airway mucosa in OVA group were observed.Metformin partially relieved the above changes.CD31+ vessels in the wall of bronchi showed the abundance of blood vessels observed in OVA group compared with control group, which was suppressed by the treatment with metformin (P<0.05).The protein level of p-AMPK was reduced in the lung tissue challenged with OVA as compared with control group (P<0.05), while metformin increased the protein level of p-AMPK (P<0.01).CONCLUSION: The protein level of p-AMPK in the airway in OVA group is attenuated.Metformin effectively inhibits airway inflammation, remodeling and neovascularization possibly via activating AMPK signaling pathway.

KDM5B is a histone H3K4me2/3 demethylase. The PHD1 domain of KDM5B is critical for demethylation, but the mechanism underlying the action of this domain is unclear. In this paper, we observed that PHD1KDM5B interacts with unmethylated H3K4me0. Our NMR structure of PHD1KDM5B in complex with H3K4me0 revealed that the binding mode is slightly different from that of other reported PHD fingers. The disruption of this interaction by double mutations on the residues in the interface (L325A/D328A) decreases the H3K4me2/3 demethylation activity of KDM5B in cells by approximately 50% and increases the transcriptional repression of tumor suppressor genes by approximately twofold. These findings imply that PHD1KDM5B may help maintain KDM5B at target genes to mediate the demethylation activities of KDM5B.

Objective In this paper,the harmful effects and mechanisms induced by traditional Chinese medicine were expounded by combining the mechanism of programmed cell death and inflammatory reaction.It is expected to provide data support and theoretical reference for the rational use of traditional Chinese medicine and toxicology research.Methods By systematically analyzing the correlation between cell death and inflammatory response,the molecular mechanisms of pyroptosis,programmed cell necrosis and ferroptosis at home and abroad were summarized,and the harmful outcomes induced by traditional Chinese medicine were further discussed.Results Different toxic traditional Chinese medicines and their active ingredients have different tolerances to biological organisms.Programmed cell death is an important molecular mechanism for the toxicity of traditional Chinese medicines.Its signaling pathways are complex and diverse and are often accompanied by inflammatory reactions.Both of them have a certain effect on the toxic effects of traditional Chinese medicine.Conclusion Traditional Chinese medicine can provide inflammatory mediators for inflammatory response pathways through cell death or change the physiological balance of cells,thereby inducing inflammatory cascade reactions and promoting harmful outcomes in various systems of the body under the dual effects of cell death and inflammatory response.

Objectives:To establish a risk prediction model for gastrointestinal bleeding after cardiopulmonary bypass heart surgery,and to verify the prediction efficacy. Methods:A total of 1 002 patients who underwent cardiopulmonary bypass heart surgery in the department of cardiac great vascular surgery of our hospital from January 2019 to November 2023 were collected by convenient sampling method.They were divided into gastrointestinal bleeding group(n=47)and non-gastrointestinal bleeding group(n=955).Logistic regression analysis was used to establish the risk prediction model,and the area under ROC curve test and Hosmer-Lemeshow χ2 test were used to compare the two groups of data Model prediction effect.Bootstrap method was used for internal validation. Results:The risk prediction model of gastrointestinal bleeding after cardiopulmonary bypass heart surgery included four predictors:time of aortic occlusion(OR=1.021,95%CI:1.012-1.030),history of digestive disease(OR=5.710,95%CI:1.697-19.212),use of intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation(OR=22.180,95%CI:5.870-83.808),and continuous kidney replacement therapy(OR=12.159,95%CI:5.066-29.181).Model formula:Logit(P)=-5.821+0.021×time of aortic occlusion+1.742×history of digestive disease+3.099×whether intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation was used+2.498×whether continuous renal replacement therapy was used.The area under ROC curve was 0.812(95%CI:0.746-0.877),sensitivity was 64.6%,specificity was 85.7%,and Youden index was 0.503.After internal validation by Bootstrap method,the consistency index after correction is 0.813. Conclusions:The risk prediction model constructed in this study cohort has a good auxiliary prediction performance for the occurrence of gastrointestinal bleeding after cardiopulmonary bypass surgery,which is helpful for risk stratification for gastrointestinal bleeding after cardiopulmonary bypass surgery and facilitate clinical decision-making in daily clinical work.
