Objective:To evaluate the effects of maxillary protraction with or without rapid maxillary expansion in the treatment of Class Ⅲ malocclusion by Meta-Analysis.Methods:The randomized controlled trail,quasi-randomized controlled trail and the clinical controlled trail about the treatment of Class Ⅲ malocclusion by protraction with or without expansion were searched in the database of Cochrane Library,Embase,PubMed,Medline,CBM,Wan Fang,CNKI,VIP.2 authors qualified and extracted the data independently.Then the Meta-analysis was performed by using the RevMan 5.3 software.Results:7 studies with 228 cases were included,114 cases were treated by maxillary protraction with expansion and the other 114 cases by maxillary protraction without expansion.The Meta-analysis showed that:there was no significant difference in SNA,SNB,ANB and SN-PP except ANS-Me,U1-NA,SN-MP.A favorable improvement of the sagittal relationship between maxillary and mandibular was observed by using protraction whether with expansion or not.The expansion did not shorten the course of treatment,but it lowered the inclination of upper incisors,resulting in more clockwise rotation of mandibular plane and increase of the facial vertical dimension.Conclusion:Maxillary protraction with rapid maxillary expansion can be used in the treatment of class Ⅲ malocclusion with incisor labioclination.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of a disintegrin and metalloprotease 12 silenced by shR?NA on self-renewal capacity of CD133 positive giloma cells. Methods The shRNA recombinant lentivirus aimed at si?lencing ADAM12 was prepared. Human glioma cells U87 were employed in this study and assigned into three groups:shRNA-ADAM12, shRNA-NCandshRNA-C. ADAM12 expression was detected at mRNA and protein level using Re?al-time quantitative-PCR and western bloting, respectively. U87 cells were cultured with stem cell culture medium, to obtain cell sphere formation in which CD133 positive glioma cells were enriched. Immunofluorescence was employed to detect the expression of ADAM12 and CD133 in cell spheres and U87 cells; Self-renewal was tested by using tumor sphere formation assay. Molecular markers for differentiated or undifferentiated cells (CD133,GFAP and Tuj1) were de?tected at protein using western blotting. Western blotting was employed to test protein expression of HES1. Results AD?AM12 shRNA significantly down-regulated the mRNA and protein expression levels of ADAM12. Compared with shRNA–C group, the relative expression levels of mRNA in shRNA-ADAM12 group and shRNA-NC group were 0.22 ± 0.03 and 0.98 ± 0.06 (F=425.37,P<0.01). The relative expression levels of protein in shRNA-ADAM12 group, shRNA-NC group and shRNA-C group were 28.72%±2.36%, 69.21%±3.92%and 69.04%±3.57%, respectively (F=145.42,P<0.01). Immunofluorescence staining showed that expression levels of ADAM12 and CD133 in cell spheres were significantly higher than those in normal cells. The number of spheres in three groups were 45.5±2.3、104.2±5.8 and 109.6±6.2, tumor sphere formation ability of shRNA-ADAM12 group was lower than that of shRNA-NC group and shRNA-C group (F=147.03,P<0.01). Compared with the shRNA-NC group and shRNA-C group, the protain expression of GFAP and Tuj1 were increased up to 166% and 146% (P<0.01) whereas the protein expression levels of CD133 and HES1 were down-regulated by 54% and 50% (P<0.01). Conclusion Knockdown of ADAM12 may suppress self-renewal ability of CD133 positive glioma cells by inhibiting the Notch pathway activity.

Objective: To evaluate the change of tooth root volume and length after rapid maxillary expansion by CBCT three dimensional reconstruction method. Methods: 33 patients underwent rapid maxillary expansion were examined by CBCT before and after treatment. The CBCT images of the first,second premolars and the first molars were segmented and reconstructed by Mimics image processing software for the analysis of the changes of root volume and length. All data were analyzed by SPSS software statistically. Results: After maxillary expansion,all root volumes were reduced(P ＜ 0. 05),more reduction was observed in anchorage teeth than in non-anchorage teeth(P ＜ 0. 05). The length of most teeth roots was not decreased(P＞ 0. 05) except the buccal and distal roots of the first molars(P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusion: Rapid maxillary expansion may result in root resorption and this resorption is mainly based on the volume decrease.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between preoperative SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and postoperative delirium(POD) in the patients.Methods:A total of 938 participants of either sex, aged 50-90 yr, weighing 50-90 kg, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classificationⅠorⅡ, with preoperative Mini-Mental State Examination score ≥24, without communication barriers, undergoing elective knee or hip joint replacement under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia from June 2020 to June 2022 in Qingdao Municipal Hospital, were enrolled. The vaccination with SARS-CoV-2 inactivated vaccine within 6 months before operation was recorded. The cerebrospinal fluid 2 ml was extracted after the puncture needle was successfully inserted into the subarachnoid space for determination of the concentrations of Aβ42, total tau protein (t-tau), and phosphorylated tau protein (p-tau) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). The Aβ42/t-tau and Aβ42/p-tau ratios were calculated. POD was assessed using the Confusion Assessment Method twice a day within 7 days after surgery or before discharge.The patients were divided into POD group and non-POD group according to whether they developed POD. The risk factors of which P values were less than 0.20 in the univariate logistic regression would enter the multivariate logistic regression analysis to investigate the relationship between SARS-CoV-2 vaccine and level of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers and POD. Results:Eight hundred and seventy-four patients were finally enrolled in the analysis, of which 169 patients developed POD, with an incidence of 19.3%.The results of logistic regression showed that vaccination with SARS-CoV-2 inactivated vaccine within 6 months before operation, preoperative concentrations of Aβ42 in CSF, and increase in Aβ42/t-tau and Aβ42/p-tau ratios were protective factors for POD, and preoperative elevated concentrations of t-tau and p-tau in CSF were risk factors for POD ( P<0.05). After gender, age, preoperative Mini-Mental State Examination score, years of education, history of drinking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and coronary heart disease were added to eliminate the influence of confounding factors, the results still showed that vaccination with SARS-CoV-2 inactivated vaccine within 6 months before operation was a protective factor for POD. Conclusions:Vaccination with SARS-CoV-2 inactivated vaccine within 6 months before operation is a protective factor for POD in patients.

Objective To compare dental and skeletal changes after rapid maxillary expansion in patients with different bone ages.Methods Thirty-seven patients in different growth period were divided into three groups according to cervical vertebral maturation (CVM).There were 13 patients in the growth acceleration group,13 patients in growth peak group,and 11 patients in growth deceleration group.Conebeam computed tomography(CBCT) images were segmented and reconstructed using Mimics image processing software to assess the change of palatal morphology before and after treatment.Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS 17.0 software.Results After the expansion the posterior teeth and alveolar bone were tilted and the mid-palatal suture was opened in all three groups.The first molar angle in the three groups decreased by 2.66°±1.04°,3.53°±0.81° and 12.32°± 1.64°,respectively and no significant difference was found between the acceleration group and the peak group (P ＞ 0.05),but the changes in the acceleration group and the peak groups were significantly less than that in the deceleration group (P＜0.05).The palatal angle in the three groups increased by 6.01°±2.06°,4.79°± 1.31° and 6.73°± 1.71°,respectively and no significant difference was found between the acceleration group and the deceleration group (P ＞ 0.05),but the changes in the acceleration group and the deceleration group were significantly greater than that in the peak group (P ＜ 0.05).The palatal cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) width,the middle palate width and the mid-palatal suture width in the three groups increased by (7.37± 1.31),(6.68± 0.72) and (5.13± 1.42) mm;(5.72±1.68),(4.82± 1.66) and (3.42± 1.15) mm;(3.14±0.45),(2.98±0.51) and (0.96±0.83) mm,respectively and no significant difference was found between the acceleration group and the peak group (P ＞ 0.05),but the changes in the acceleration group and the peak group were significantly greater than that in the deceleration group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The mid-palatal suture could be opened in patients in different CVM period.More skeletal and less dental effects were found in patients in the growth acceleration and peek group than in those in the growth deceleration group and the inclination of the alveolar bone could be avoided to a greater degree in patients in the growth peek group.

Objective:To investigate the affinity and toxicity of epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) targeted nucleic acid aptamer drug conjugate SYL3C-MMAE on human gastric epithelial cells GES-1 (hereinafter referred to as GES-1 cells) and human gastric cancer cells AGS and MKN45 (hereinafter referred to as AGS cells and MKN45 cells).Methods:The experimental study was conducted. The expression level of EpCAM in gastric cancer tissues was detected using immunohistochemistry. The mRNA expression level of EpCAM in gastric cancer tissues was detected using real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-PCR). The expression level of EpCAM protein in GES-1, AGS and MKN45 cells was detected using Western blot. The affinity of SYL3C on GES-1, AGS and MKN45 cells was detected using flow cytometry. SYL3C-MMAE was synthesized through a thiol-maleimide reaction. The toxicity of drugs on GES-1, AGS and MKN45 cells was detected using CCK-8 assay. The cell cycle condition of GES-1, AGS and MKN45 cells after drug treatment was detected using propidium iodide (PI) staining. Observation indicators: (1) expression of EpCAM in gastric cancer; (2) affinity of antibodies targeting EpCAM and SYL3C on GES-1, AGS and MKN45 cells; (3) situation of drug synthesis; (4) drug toxicity and inhibition of cell cycle. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD. One-way ANOVA was used for comparison among multiple groups, and pairwise comparison was conducted using the least significant difference test. Comparison of unequal variances was conducted using the Welch' t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(IQR), and comparison between groups was conducted using the paired rank sum test. Count data were described as absolute numbers, comparison between groups was conducted using the paired chi-square test. Results:(1) Expression of EpCAM in gastric cancer. Results of immunohistochemistry on tissue microarrays showed that the positive rate of EpCAM was 82.9%(29/35) and 22.9%(8/35) in the 35 pairs of gastric cancer and its adjacent tissues (normal tissues), respectively, showing a significant difference between them ( P<0.05). Results of RT-PCR showed that the mRNA relative expression levels of EpCAM was 1.23 (4.13) and 4.04 (1.72) in 12 pairs of gastric cancer and its adjacent tissues respectively, showing a significant difference between them ( Z=-2.67, P<0.05). Results of Western blot showed that the relative expression levels of EpCAM protein in GES-1, AGS, and MKN45 was 0, 1.00, and 0.27, respectively, with the expression level of EpCAM protein in AGS cells as the standard. (2) Affinity of antibodies targeting EpCAM and SYL3C on GES-1, AGS and MKN45 cells. Results of flow cytometry showed that antibodies targeting EpCAM and SYL3C had good affinity on AGS and MKN45 cells but no affinity on GES-1 cells. (3) Situation of drug synthesis. Results of mass spectrometry showed that the drug solution of compound formed by connecting SYL3C with monomethylorestatin E (VcMMAE) exhibited a strong peak at the molecular weight position of 16 355, consistent with the expected molecular weight of the SYL3C-MMAE complex, indicating that SYL3C-MMAE was successfully synthesized. (4) Drug toxicity and inhibition of cell cycle. Results of CCK-8 assay showed that the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC 50) of VcMMAE on GES-1, AGS and MKN45 cells was 123.00, 30.48 and 51.83 nmol/L, respectively. The IC 50 of SYL3C-MMAE on GES-1, AGS and MKN45 cells was 241.80, 20.66 and 27.64 nmol/L, respectively. Results of PI staining and flow cytometry showed that both VcMMAE and SYL3C-MMAE could induce G2/M phase blockage in the cell cycle of GES-1, AGS and MKN45 cells. Conclusion:The SYL3C-MMAE has a good affinity on gastric cancer cells. Compared with VcMMAE, SYL3C-MMAE exhibits efficient inhibition on gastric cancer cells, but less influence on normal cells.

BACKGROUND:The reasonable implantation range of femoral prosthesis in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty in patients with osteoporosis has not been investigated,and previous studies have often been based on unicompartmental knee arthroplasty models in normal bone,with fewer mechanical studies in models with non-normal bone.Complications after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty have been shown to be highly associated with osteoporosis. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the biomechanical effects of the coronal inclination of the Sled fixed platform femoral prosthesis on unicompartmental knee arthroplasty in patients with osteoporosis and to find the correlation between osteoporosis and mid-and long-term complications after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty. METHODS:Based on the digital imaging technology to obtain the data of the knee joint and prosthesis,a normal bone knee model is then created by using specialized software such as Mimics and Geomagic studio.Based on a validated normal bone knee model,an osteoporotic knee model was created by changing the material parameters.Totally 14 unicompartmental knee arthroplasty finite element models were created using Sled fixed platform femoral prosthesis:standard position(0°),varus and valgus angles:3°,6°,9° in the normal bone and osteoporosis groups.Stress changes on the surface of polyethylene liner,cancellous bone under tibial prosthesis,and cortical bone were calculated and analyzed in all unicompartmental knee arthroplasty models. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)In the osteoporotic models,the high stress values of the polyethylene liner surface and the cancellous bone under the tibial prosthesis increased with the increase of the tilt angle of the femoral prosthesis,and the high stress values of the cortical bone surface under the tibial prosthesis increased with the increase of the prosthesis valgus angles and decreased with the increase of the varus angles.(2)For the polyethylene liner surface as well as the subcortical bone surface of the tibial prosthesis,the high stress values of the models for each inclination angle in the osteoporosis group were greater than those of the corresponding models in the normal bone group.For the surface of the cancellous bone under the tibial prosthesis,the high stress values of the tilt angle models of the osteoporosis groups were smaller than those of the normal bone groups.(3)Osteoporosis may cause biomechanical abnormalities in the internal structures of the knee after unicondylar replacement,increasing the potential risk of postoperative aseptic loosening of the prosthesis and periprosthetic fractures.Varus and valgus of the femoral prosthesis in the coronal plane should be avoided as much as possible when performing medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty with a Sled fixation platform in osteoporotic knees.
