Objective:To find out the data of the micturitions in healthy young people with the remote & mobile voiding diary monitoring system.Methods:Twenty healthy young people were studied and ten of them were female.The ages ranged from 22 to 35 years(the mean age:27.4 years).The females were 22-33 years old(the mean age:26.4 years) and the males 24-35 years old(the mean age:28.4 years).With the remote & mobile voiding diary monitoring system,their voiding information was collec-ted.Through bluetooth,the voiding information was sent to the patient's intelligent cell phone from the collector,then stored directly by intelligent cell phone and wirelessly transmitted to the workstation in the hospital.All of them completed the voiding diaries for 7 days and the data were analyzed.Results:The average micturition of the young healthy people was 5.6 times(3.4-7.4) per 24 hours,in which 5.3(3.4-7.3) times were in the daytime and 0.3(0-1.3)times in the night.The functional voiding vo-lume was 318 mL(66-642 mL).The mean voiding volume in 24 hours was 1 724 mL(1 152-2 415 mL),in which 1 289 mL(786-2 039 mL) was in the daytime and 435 mL(292-805 mL) in the night.The mean drinking volume was 1 022 mL(453-1 721 mL)in the daytime and 7 mL(0-43 mL) in the night.The nocturia index(Ni)was 1.03,the nocturnal polyuria index(NPi) 26%,and the nocturnal bladder capacity index(NBCi) 0.27.Conclusion:The remote & mobile voiding diary monitoring system can help us get the objective voiding information from young health people for the first time.It is reliable,maneuverable and can be widely used in clinical diagnosis.

Objective:This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of decitabine (DAC) and identify factors influencing treatment responses in patients with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) who had failed glucocorticoid therapy.Methods:Clinical data of 61 patients with glucocorticoid-resistant ITP who received DAC therapy (5 mg·m -2·d -1×3 d via intravenous infusion) for at least three cycles with 3-4-week intervals at the Department of Hematology, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, from November 2015 to June 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. Results:The 61 patients comprised 20 males and 41 females, with a median age of 45 years (range: 15-81 years). Among them, 43 patients were glucocorticoid-dependent (glucocorticoid-dependent group), while 18 patients were glucocorticoid-resistant (glucocorticoid-resistant group). Following DAC treatment, 12 patients (19.67% ) achieved complete response (CR), and 16 patients (26.23% ) exhibited response (R), resulting in an overall response (OR) rate of 45.90% (28/61). Comparison between the OR group ( n=28) and the non-response (NR) group ( n=33) revealed significant differences in responses to glucocorticoids (dependent or resistant) and platelet counts before treatment ( χ2=8.789, P=0.003; z=-2.416, P=0.016). The glucocorticoid-dependent group showed higher platelet counts than the glucocorticoid-resistant group after the second and third cycles of DAC treatment ( P=0.032, 0.024). Moreover, the OR rates after the first, second, and third cycles of DAC treatment in the glucocorticoid-dependent group were all higher than those in the glucocorticoid-resistant group ( P=0.042, P=0.012, P=0.029). A significant correlation was observed between glucocorticoid dependence and responses to DAC treatment ( OR=9.213, 95% CI 1.937-43.820, P=0.005) . Conclusion:DAC demonstrates definitive efficacy with mild adverse effects in a subset of patients with glucocorticoid-resistant primary ITP. Glucocorticoid dependence and higher platelet counts before treatment are associated with a favorable response to DAC therapy.

Objective A deep learning-based method for evaluating the quality of pediatric pelvic X-ray images is proposed to construct a diagnostic model and verify its clinical feasibility.Methods Three thousand two hundred and forty-seven children with anteroposteric pelvic radiographs are retrospectively collected and randomly divided into training datasets,validation datasets and test datasets.Artificial intelligence model is conducted to evaluate the reliability of quality control model.Results The diagnostic accuracy,area under ROC curve,sensitivity and specificity of the model are 99.4%,0.993,98.6%and 100.0%,respectively.The 95%consistency limit of the pelvic tilt index of the model is-0.052-0.072.The 95%consistency threshold of pelvic rotation index is-0.088-0.055.Conclusion This is the first attempt to apply AI algorithm to the quality assessment of children's pelvic radiographs,and has significantly improved the diagnosis and treatment status of DDH in children.

Objective:Based on the statistical data of the comprehensive evaluation of professional degree graduate students by the guiding physicians, to conduct an empirical study on the quality of the enrollment of master of stomatology professional degree graduate students.Methods:A total of 67 master of stomatology professional degree graduate students from Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University were comprehensively evaluated by their guiding physicians when they went out the department. SPSS 25.0 software was used for t test and variance analysis. Results:The average score of 67 students was (91.39±3.55) points. There was good reliability and validity for the comprehensive evaluation index. Among the methods of promotion and exemption, unified examination, 7-year transfer to "5 + 3" of our school and enrollment of students from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan regions, the comprehensive evaluation total score of 7-year transfer to "5 + 3" of our school was the highest. The comprehensive evaluation results of the students with high initial scores were slightly higher than those students with low scores. The students who studied in the "Double First-class" universities and were with the fourth round of subject assessment grade A and grade B had better performances.Conclusion:We should attach importance to enrollment quality, through various channels to attract quality students and actively explore ways to improve the quality of graduate students. Meanwhile, we should make efforts to strengthen training quality and to build scientific comprehensive evaluation system for specialized degree graduate students. The connotation of "medicine-education collaboration" will be further deepened. And the training and development of oral medicine applied high-level medical talents will be promoted.

Human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) are easily obtained multipotent cells, however, their potential value in regenerative medicine is hindered by the phenotypic and functional changes after conventional monolayer expansion. Here, we employed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to comprehensively study the transcriptional difference between the freshly isolated and monolayer cultured DPSCs. The cell cluster analysis based on our scRNA-seq data showed that monolayer culture resulted in a significant cellular composition switch compared to the freshly isolated DPSCs. However, one subpopulation, characterized as MCAM(+)JAG(+)PDGFRA(-), maintained the most transcriptional characteristics compared to their freshly isolated counterparts. Notably, immunofluorescent staining revealed that the MCAM(+)JAG(+)PDGFRA(-) hDPSCs uniquely located in the perivascular region of human dental pulp tissue. Flow-cytometry analysis confirmed that their proportion remained relatively stable (~2%) regardless of physiological senescence or dental caries. Consistent with the annotation of scRNA-seq data, MCAM(+)JAG(+)PDGFRA(-) hDPSCs showed higher proliferation capacity and enhanced in vitro multilineage differentiation potentials (osteogenic, chondrogenic and adipogenic) compared with their counterparts PDGFRA(+) subpopulation. Furthermore, the MCAM(+)JAG(+)PDGFRA(-) hDPSCs showed enhanced bone tissue formation and adipose tissue formation after 4-week subcutaneous implantation in nude mice. Taken together, our study for the first time revealed the cellular composition switch of monolayer cultured hDPSCs compared to the freshly isolated hDPSCs. After in vitro expansion, the MCAM(+)JAG(+)PDGFRA(-) subpopulation resembled the most transcriptional characteristics of fresh hDPSCs which may be beneficial for further tissue regeneration applications.
