Objective:
To construct a core competency training indicator system for high-level public health talents using the Delphi method, so as to provide insights into optimization of high-level public health talents training.
Methods:
Based on review of publications pertaining to core competency training for high-level public health talents, in combination with public health priorities and development needs in China, a preliminary indicator system was constructed. Twenty public health experts were invited for two rounds of Delphi expert consultation. Indicators were screened based on the frequency of full marks, mean score and coefficient of variation (CV), and the weight of indicators was determined using the Entropy weight method. The effectiveness of the Delphi expert consultation was evaluated using the active degree, authority coefficient and the consistency degree.
Results:
Twenty experts participated in the consultation, including 12 men, and there were 6 experts at ages of 30 to 39 years, 8 at ages of 40 to 49 years, and 6 at ages of 50 years and older. There were 17 experts with an educational level of master and above, 19 with senior professional titles and all experts had working experiences for 10 years and longer. The active degrees were 95.24% and 100.00% for two rounds of consultations, and the overall authority coefficient was 0.87. Following two rounds of consultations, all CVs were reduced to below 0.25, and the coordination coefficients were all statistically significant (P<0.05), with a higher coordination coefficient in the second round of consultation than in the first round. The constructed core competency training indicator system for high-level public health talents included four primary indicators, including health protection, health service improvement, health promotion, and essential quality, with weights of 0.388, 0.310, 0.122 and 0.180, 11 secondary indicators, with high weights seen for protection of human health from threats (0.178), monitoring and assessment of health service utilization (0.157) and promotion of health service quality and access (0.112), and 70 tertiary indicators, with high weights seen for Chinese writing (0.038), capability for health policy suggestions (0.034) and global perspective (0.030).
Conclusion
The core competency training indicator system for high-level public health talents constructed in this study may provide insights into training of high-level public health talents.

Objective:
To compare the diagnostic performance between panoramic radiography(PR)and cone beam computed tomography(CBCT)in the assessment of external root resorption(ERR)of mandibular second molars associated with impacted third molars.
Methods:
A total number of 832 patients with 1 074 mesially and horizontally impacted mandibular third molars treated at our institution from January 2019 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Presence of ERR on the adjacent second molar was investigated with PR and CBCT. Factors affecting the diagnostic accuracy of PR were determined.
Results:
The overall incidence of ERR in second molars was 33.15%(356/1 074)as detected by CBCT images. The accuracy of PR was 66.39%. Multivariate Logistic regression analyses further revealed that middle and Class Ⅲ impaction, crown contact or overlap with the root of adjacent tooth were risk factors for inaccurate diagnosis of PR(P<0.05).
Conclusion
The accuracy of detection on ERR of mandibular second molar associated with impacted third molar using panoramic radiography is lower. CBCT is recommended for this clinical scenario.

Objective To investigate the influence of high-fat diet in the intestinal flora,fecal weight and its water content in rats, and to clarify the effect and significance of high-fat diet in the occurrence of obesity forming. Methods Twenty Sprague-Dawley (SD)rats were randomly divided into normal diet (ND)group and high-fat diet (HF)group (n=10).The rats in ND group were fed with normal diet,and the rats in HF group were fed with diet rich in oil and fat.The fresh feces were collected separately on days 1,15,30,and 49 for analysis of weight, water content,and intestinal flora.Results On the 49th day,the wet weight and water content of feces of the rats in ND group were (6.61 ± 0.17)g and (37.07 ± 3.04)%,respectively,while those in HF group were (4.46±0.30)g and (18.04±2.23)% (P<0.05).Compared with ND group ,the fecal pellets in HF group were increased obviously from the 7th day (P<0.05).There were obvious changes in intestinal microbial populations of HF group. The counts of enterococci, bifidobacteria, Lactobacillus, Bacteroides bacteria were significantly decreased on the day 49, but the count of Escherichia coli was increased significantly (P < 0.05 ). Conclusion High-fat diet can result in decrease for weight,water content,and pellets of feces;it can change the structure of intestinal flora. As result, there is a possibility that all of changes above can promote obesity in the future.
