Objective To investigate the expression pattern of transcription factor Olig 2 in cuprizone-induced mouse model of acute demyelination .Methods C57BL/6 mice were fed with 0.2%cuprizone to induce acute demyelina-tion.Immunofluorescence and qRT-PCR were used, and Olig2, MBP and GFAP were detected in the brain tissues of con-trol group and cuprizone-treated groups for 6 weeks and recovery for 2 weeks.Results Severe demyelination occurred in the corpus callosum following 6-weeks exposure to cuprizone , while remyelination was detected in the white matter after the mice were given diet without cuprizone .In the normal mice , Olig2 was expressed in a low level , while the experessions of Olig2 and GFAP were significantly increased , and Olig2 +/GFAP+cells were detected after demyelination .But the expres-sion of MBP was below the normal level with demyelination .After recovery for 2 weeks, the experession of Olig2 was lower, but the experessions of MBP and GFAP were increased .Conclusions Olig2 may play an important role in the glial differ-entiation from neural progenitor cells into active astrocytes , and in the glial scar formation .

Objective:In this study,a series of experiments were conducted to research the mechanism of anticancer and preliminary molecular effects of PAMs on the HEPG-2 cancer cells.Methods:Morphological observation and MTT assay were used to explore the inhibition and killing effect of PAMs acting on HEPG-2.AO/EB staining and Annexin V-FITC/PI staining were employed to observe the apoptosis of HEPG-2 treated with PAMs.The expression level of Foxm1,bcl-2 and others genes in HEPG-2 cells were detected by using qRT-PCR and western blot.Wound healing and transwell experiments determined if PAMs can inhibit the migration of HEPG-2.Results:PAMs can inhibit and kill HEPG-2 cells in time and dose-dependent manners,and the cytotoxic effects were closely related to the cell apoptosis.The mRNA expression of foxm1,bcl-2 and surviving gene were remarkably decreased in HEPG-2 cells after the treatment of PAMs.PAMs decreased the FoXM1 protein expression in HEPG-2 cells,while up-regulating thep53 protein expression.,and it could also inhibit the migration of cancer cells.Conclusions:The possible molecular mechanism for the killing of HEPG-2 cancer cells by PAMs was proposed.By down-regulating the expression of foxm1 and up-regulating the expression of p53,the transcriptional expression of their downstream target genes survivin and bcl-2 was inhibited or reduced,hence enhancing the cancer cell apoptosis.This study provides an important foundation for the development of anti-cancer Chinese folk medicine based on PAMs.

Early identification of older adults at high risk for hospitalization-associated disability(HAD)is crucial for implementing timely interventions that can reduce hospital stay, medical costs, complications, and prevent further physical dysfunction.Various HAD screening tools have been developed, with some already validated and used in clinical trials, while others are still in the preliminary exploration stage.This review offers an overview of HAD identification tools, summarizing their applicability, key characteristics, advantages, disadvantages, and the latest advancements.The aim of this review is to provide information that can assist in the early and accurate identification of high-risk patients with HAD, enabling the implementation of appropriate and targeted interventions for older adults in China.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of thin superficial inferior epigastric artery flaps in repairing soft tissue defects after buccal cancer surgery.Methods:From January 2018 to October 2019, 6 patients with buccal cancer who underwent surgery were constructed with thin superficial inferior epigastric artery flaps, including 2 males and 4 females, aged 43 to 68 years, with an average of 61.5 years. Doppler ultrasound was utilized of all patients to design flap preoperatively . According to the size of the affected area defect, according to the shape and direction of the blood vessels, a thin superficial inferior epigastric artery flap was elevated above the Scarpas fascia layer and transferred to repair soft tissue defects after buccal cancer surgery. The survival and functional recovery of the flap were observed.Results:All 6 flaps survived. The superficial inferior epigastric artery flaps ranged from 5.0 cm×7.0 cm to 7.0 cm×9.0 cm. The thickness of the flaps ranged from 0.5 cm to 1.3 cm, and the average thickness was 0.8 cm. The pedicle length is 6.0-9.0 cm.Four of them anastomosed to the superficial inferior epigastric veins and companion vein, 2 cases only anastomized superficial inferior epigastric veins . The follow-up period ranged from 3 to 12 months, with an average of 10 months. The cheek shape was good, the mouth opening was normal, there was no obvious bloating, and no secondary surgery was required. Linear scars were left on the donor site, with concealed location and no impairment of abdominal wall function.Conclusions:The donor site of the thin superficial inferior epigastric artery flap is small, the scar is concealed, the cheek is not bloated, and the opening degree of mouth is satisfactory. It is a good choice for reconstructing postoperative defect of cheek cancer.

Objective:The aim of this study was to explore the application of maxillary osteotomy plate and positioning guide plate in maxillary Le Fort Ⅰ osteotomy to eliminate the postoperative error caused by condylar displacement.Methods:Patients suffered from skeletal malocclusion and needed Le Fort Ⅰ osteotomy between January 2018 and November 2020 were selected from the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College. All patients were scanned with 64 slice spiral CT. The DICOM format data were analyzed using the Simplant software to reconstruct the virtual three-dimensional model of the jaw before operation. Then, the measurement of indexes and the maxillary Le Fort Ⅰ osteotomy were carried out on the virtual three-dimensional model, respectively. 3D-printed osteotomy guide plate and positioning guide plate were used to determine the osteotomy line and the position of maxillary advancement. 3D-printed tooth supported occlusal plate was used to support the mandibular sagittal split and retraction. The differences of 10 indexes between the two groups (virtual operation and surgery) were analyzed by paired t test using SPSS 22.0. Results:A total of 8 patients (5 males and 3 females) needed maxillary Le Fort Ⅰ osteotomy aged from 18 to 39 years old were recorded. The deviation of age in these patients was 24.8. The 3D-printed guide plate and tooth supporting occlusal plate were positioned accurately in surgery. All the operations were successful with primary healing of the incision and stable occlusion, and without joint clicking. There was no significant difference on the 10 indexes between the groups of virtual operation and surgery ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The application of maxillary osteotomy plate and positioning guide plate can effectively and accurately control the three-dimensional movement of the maxilla and improve the precision of maxillary Le fort Ⅰ osteotomy in orthognathic surgery, making the surgical effect highly consistent with the preoperative design.
