BACKGROUND: The available evidence regarding the benefits of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on patients receiving dialysis with coronary artery disease (CAD) is limited and inconsistent. This study aimed to evaluate the association between PCI and clinical outcomes as compared with medical therapy alone in patients undergoing dialysis with CAD in China. METHODS: This multicenter, retrospective study was conducted in 30 tertiary medical centers across 12 provinces in China from January 2015 to June 2021 to include patients on dialysis with CAD. The primary outcome was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as a composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and non-fatal stroke. Secondary outcomes included all-cause death, the individual components of MACE, and Bleeding Academic Research Consortium criteria types 2, 3, or 5 bleeding. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess the association between PCI and outcomes. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) and propensity score matching (PSM) were performed to account for potential between-group differences. RESULTS: Of the 1146 patients on dialysis with significant CAD, 821 (71.6%) underwent PCI. After a median follow-up of 23.0 months, PCI was associated with a 43.0% significantly lower risk for MACE (33.9% [ n  = 278] vs . 43.7% [ n  = 142]; adjusted hazards ratio 0.57, 95% confidence interval 0.45-0.71), along with a slightly increased risk for bleeding outcomes that did not reach statistical significance (11.1% vs . 8.3%; adjusted hazards ratio 1.31, 95% confidence interval, 0.82-2.11). Furthermore, PCI was associated with a significant reduction in all-cause and cardiovascular mortalities. Subgroup analysis did not modify the association of PCI with patient outcomes. These primary findings were consistent across IPTW, PSM, and competing risk analyses. CONCLUSION This study indicated that PCI in patients on dialysis with CAD was significantly associated with lower MACE and mortality when comparing with those with medical therapy alone, albeit with a slightly increased risk for bleeding events that did not reach statistical significance.

OBJECTIVE: By analyzing the correlation between genotypes and phenotypes, we explored the impact of the variant c.917T>C (p.L306P) in the ABO*B.01 allele on the expression and function of B-glycosyltransferase (GTB). This study aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the occurrence of this subtype. METHODS: The study subjects included a blood donor specimen with incompatible forward and reverse ABO typing results. ABO phenotyping was determined using ABO blood group serology and GTB activity testing. Subsequently, Sanger sequencing and third-generation sequencing based on the PacBio platform were employed to sequence the ABO gene, resulting in the determination of haplotype sequences. Mutations were identified through sequence alignment. An in vitro cell expression system was established to assess the impact of the mutation site on antigen expression. RESULTS: The index case in this study was identified as B subtype with the allelic genotype c.917T>C in ABO*B.01/ABO*O.01.01 , which has not been previously reported. in vitro expression results revealed decreased levels of GTB expression and overall GTB activity in the mutant cells. Furthermore, the expression of the B antigen on the cell membrane was weaker in the mutant cells compared to the wild-type cells. CONCLUSION The p.L306P variation caused by the c.917T>C mutation in the ABO*B.01 allele may be a genetic factor contributing to the reduced expression of B antigens on the surface of red blood cells.

Instrument separation is a critical complication during root canal therapy, impacting treatment success and long-term tooth preservation. The etiology of instrument separation is multifactorial, involving the intricate anatomy of the root canal system, instrument-related factors, and instrumentation techniques. Instrument separation can hinder thorough cleaning, shaping, and obturation of the root canal, posing challenges to successful treatment outcomes. Although retrieval of separated instrument is often feasible, it carries risks including perforation, excessive removal of tooth structure and root fractures. Effective management of separated instruments requires a comprehensive understanding of the contributing factors, meticulous preoperative assessment, and precise evaluation of the retrieval difficulty. The application of appropriate retrieval techniques is essential to minimize complications and optimize clinical outcomes. The current manuscript provides a framework for understanding the causes, risk factors, and clinical management principles of instrument separation. By integrating effective strategies, endodontists can enhance decision-making, improve endodontic treatment success and ensure the preservation of natural dentition.

Radiochemotherapy-induced oral mucositis (OM) is a common oral complication in patients with tumors following head and neck radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Erosion and ulcers are the main features of OM that seriously affect the quality of life of patients and even the progress of tumor treatment. To date, differences in clinical prevention and treatment plans for OM have been noted among doctors of various specialties, which has increased the uncertainty of treatment effects. On the basis of current research evidence, this expert consensus outlines risk factors, clinical manifestations, clinical grading, ancillary examinations, diagnostic basis, prevention and treatment strategies and efficacy indicators for OM. In addition to strategies such as basic oral care, anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents, anti-infective agents, pro-healing agents, and photobiotherapy recommended in previous guidelines, we also emphasize the role of traditional Chinese medicine in OM prevention and treatment. This expert consensus aims to provide references and guidance for dental physicians and oncologists in formulating strategies for OM prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, standardizing clinical practice, reducing OM occurrence, promoting healing, and improving the quality of life of patients.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the short-term lag effects of climate and air pollution on hospital admissions for cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, and to develop deep learning-based models for daily hospital admission prediction. METHODS: A multi-city study was conducted in Tokyo's 23 wards, Osaka City, and Nagoya City. Random forest models were employed to assess the synergistic short-term lag effects (lag0, lag3, and lag7) of climate and air pollutants on hospitalization for five cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and two respiratory diseases (RDs). Furthermore, we developed hybrid deep learning models that integrated an autoencoder (AE) with a Long Short-Term Memory network (AE+LSTM) to predict daily hospital admissions. RESULTS: On the day of exposure (lag0), air pollutants, particularly nitrogen oxides (NO x), exhibited the strongest influence on hospital admissions for CVD and RD, with pronounced effects observed for hypertension (I10-I15), ischemic heart disease (I20), arterial and capillary diseases (I70-I79), and lower respiratory infections (J20-J22 and J40-J47). At longer lags (lag3 and lag7), temperature and precipitation were more influential predictors. The AE+LSTM model outperformed the standard LSTM, improving the prediction accuracy by 32.4% for RD in Osaka and 20.94% for CVD in Nagoya. CONCLUSION Our findings reveal the dynamic, time-varying health risks associated with environmental exposure and demonstrate the utility of deep learnings in predicting short-term hospital admissions. This framework can inform early warning systems, enhance healthcare resource allocation, and support climate-adaptive public health strategies.
