Objective To compare the endocytic routes of exogenous antigen between murine dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages (Mφs). Methods Murine bone marrow-derived DCs and peritoneal Mφs were pulsed with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-5 nm colloidal gold for 10 minutes, then grouped and chased for 0-120 minutes in culture medium. Intracellular distribution of 5 nm colloidal gold was explored by means of the cellular enzymatic-chemistry of acid phosphatase and MHC Ⅱ immuno-cytochemistry under electron microscope. Results After 10 minutes of pulse with HRP-5 nm colloidal gold and 30 minutes of chase, most HRP-5 nm gold particles internalized by DCs entered into MHC class Ⅱ compartments (MⅡCs), and a small portion entered into acid phosphatase-positive lysosomes. In contrast to DCs, most Mφs lysosomes were accessed by HRP-5 nm gold particles, and a small portion of HRP-5 nm gold particles entered into MⅡCs. After 60 minutes of chase, 5 nm gold particles could hardly be seen within Mφs, whereas most 5 nm gold particles were still retained in DCs. Conclusions The endocytic route of exogenous antigen in DCs seems to be different from that in Mφs. Antigens taken by Mφs mainly enter into lysosomes within 30 minutes. In the case of DCs, most internalized antigens enter into MⅡCs, which may be related to their unique antigen-presenting function . In addition, Mφs seem to have more powerful capacity to scavenge exogenous antigen than DCs.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of hyaluronic acid filler VYC-20L for full-face lifting in aesthetic seeking patients.Methods:Between November 2020 and November 2021, a total of 216 aesthetic seeking patients were enrolled in Shanghai Chingho Outpatient Department, World Path Clinic International, Qihe Medical Beauty Hospital and Qinhuangdao Qiaozhi Beauty Hospital, including 37 males and 179 females, aged 25-67 (41.42±10.93) years. According to the needs and requirements, the novel injection technique of " ROYGBbP-rainbow lifting method" was used to inject hyaluronic acid filler VYC-20L. The global aesthetic improvement scale (GAIS) and the treatment satisfaction questionnaires were scored and evaluated before the injection, and at follow-up visits 1, 6, and 12 months after the injection. Any adverse reaction or adverse events presenting or reported by the patients post-injection were recorded.Results:At 1 month, 6 months and 12 months after the injection, about 203 (94.0%), 208 (96.3%) and 205 (94.9%) of the aesthetic seeking patients rated their full-face appearance as " excellently improved" or " much improved" on the GAIS, respectively. And 12 months after the injection, the overall facial satisfaction scores and appearance recognition scores of all aesthetic seeking patients were all significantly higher than those before injection ( P<0.01). 197 (91.2%), 198 (91.7%) and 198 (91.7%) of the aesthetic seeking patients were " very satisfied" or " relatively satisfied" with the treatment at 1 month, 6 months and 12 months, respectively. Treatment site responses most frequently reported were tenderness, bruising, topical swelling and skin redness. Most of the symptoms were moderate or mild feeling, lasting for no more than two weeks. Conclusions:The application of hyaluronic acid filler VYC-20L is safe and effective for full-face lifting in aesthetic seeking patients, which can significantly improve facial sagging and rejuvenate the face. The effect of improvements can last for 12 months.

Dyslipidemia is an important risk factor of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Statins delay the occurrence and development of ASCVD, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events and death. Due to safety concerns, there exist insufficient use of lipid-lowering agents and a high withdrawal rate of the agents in the elderly. To promote the prevention and treatment of ASCVD, this expert consensus is issued and focuses on the management of dyslipidemia of Chinese elderly basing on the clinical evidence of the use of lipid-lowering drugs by the elderly, and the lipid management guidelines and expert consensus recommendations at home and abroad.

Objective:To investigate the safety and effectiveness of robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods:From August 2021 to March 2022, the data of 69 patients who received robot-assisted TKA for inflammatory disease of knee in 6 hospitals were collected, including 24 males and 45 females, aged 52±6 years (range, 46-72 years), including 53 cases of knee osteoarthritis,10 cases of rheumatoid arthritis, and 6 cases of traumatic arthritis. Imaging data examination of patients was completed according to the multicenter specification. Preoperatively, the patient's CT data were extracted before surgery and a personalized prosthesis positioning plan was designed by the robotic system to determine the prosthesis size, lower limb force lines, and femoral and tibial osteotomy volumes; intraoperatively, the osteotomy template was robotically controlled to complete the osteotomy according to the prosthesis positioning plan, and the intraoperative osteotomy volumes were measured to verify the accuracy of the robot-assisted TKA osteotomy with the preoperative planning. Postoperatively, the lateral angle of the distal femur, the medial angle of the proximal tibia and the hip-knee-ankle angle were measured in the coronal plane according to radiographs; the postoperative outcome was evaluated 3 months after operation, using the American Knee Society score (KSS), including the KSS knee score and functional score.Results:The operative time was 97.3±2.3 min (range, 80-110 min) and the amount of bleeding was 320.0±6.2 ml (range, 300-350 ml) in 69 patients. Three months after operation, the mean range of motion of knee joint was increased from 82.2°±1.1° before surgery to 119.7°±0.8° after surgery ( t=27.65, P<0.001), and the line of force of lower limb was improved from 160.9°±0.5° before surgery to 178.0°±0.2° after surgery ( t=32.03, P<0.001). KSS-knee score increased from 54.8±0.7 points before operation to 85.0±0.5 points after operation, and KSS-functional score increased from 56.5±0.7 points before operation to 85.9±0.4 points after operation, the difference was statistically significant ( t=35.45, 36.58, P<0.001). The proportion of patients with intraoperative femoral and tibial osteotomies within 2 mm osteotomy error compared with preoperative planning was 97% for the lateral tibial plateau, 100% for the medial tibial plateau, 100% for the lateral distal femur, 99% for the medial distal femur, 93% for the lateral posterior femoral condyle, and 100% for the medial posterior femoral condyle; The proportion of patients with postoperative anteroposterior X-ray measurement angle error within 3° was: 100.0% for the distal lateral femoral angle, 100.0% for the proximal medial tibial angle, and 100% for the hip-knee-ankle angle. No complications occurred in all patients except for one case in which fat liquefaction occurred in the postoperative wound. Conclusion:Robot-assisted TKA is a safe and effective surgical method for the treatment of inflammatory disease of knee with accurate prosthesis installation and good postoperative recovery of lower limb alignment.

Objective:To analyze the oral phenotype and gene variation of children with hypophosphatasia (HPP), and explore the genotype-phenotype correlations.Methods:Eight children diagnosed with HPP from January 2008 to January 2023 in The Children′s Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine were recruited in this study. The pathogenic genes of 5 of them were sequentially analyzed and all of their oral manifestations, laboratory tests and genetic variation types were retrospectively analyzed.Results:A total of 8 children were recruited in the study, 3 males and 5 females, aged from 20 to 104 months, whose main complaints were premature deciduous tooth loss. Among them, 3 children were diagnosed with odonto HPP, and the other 5 children were diagnosed with childhood HPP, including 2 children was odonto HPP at the first diagnosis and modified as childhood HPP at the age of 5. The age range of first deciduous tooth loss is 9 to 18 months, and the age range of diagnosis was 20 to 104 months. The patients of odonto HPP only showed premature loss of deciduous anterior tooth, while the patients with childhood HPP also showed premature loss of multiple deciduous molars. Panoramic radiographic film revealed enlarged pulp chambers and radicular canals in some primary and permanent teeth. The enamel hypoplasia, hypoplastic short roots, and alveolar resorption of deciduous molar were observed in some cases. The serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (30-107 U/L) levels of all the patients were lower than that in the normal children of same age and gender, and the ALP value of the 1-3 years old girls with childhood HPP (30-33 U/L) was lower than that of the three children with odonto HPP (61-107 U/L), but there was no significant difference in statistical analysis. There were 8 variation sites of ALP liver/bone/kidney (ALPL) gene detected in 5 children and their families, all of which were missense variation, including the new variants in the mutations of c.1334C>G (p.Ser445Cys) and c.1259G>T (p.Gly420Val) that were not reported in the literature. One case was autosomal dominant inheritance and other 4 cases were complex heterozygous variation with autosomal recessive inheritance.Conclusions:Pediatric stomatologists are often the first doctors to detect childhood and odonto HPP. Diagnosis of mild HPP is often delayed. The severity of HPP is related to serum ALP level and ALPL gene mutation sites.

Objective:To investigate the mid-and long-term clinical efficacy of modified Colonna arthroplasty in the treatment of unilateral dislocation type developmental dysplasia of hip (DDH) in adolescents.Methods:A total of 28 adolescent DDH patients with unilateral dislocation who underwent modified Colonna capsular arthroplasty from January 2016 to January 2018 in the 920th Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force of People's Liberation Army were retrospectively analyzed. There were 4 males and 24 females, aged 16.5±5.0 years (range, 10-25 years). The mean body mass index was 21.2±1.1 kg/m 2 (range, 18.7-24.1 kg/m 2). According to DDH classification, 10 cases were Tonnis type III and 18 cases were Tonnis type IV. The postoperative lateral center-edge angle, acetabular coverage, femoral anteversion angle and leg length discrepancy were measured. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, visual analogue scale (VAS) of hip pain, Harris hip score (HHS) and congenital dislocation of the hip score were recorded. Results:All patients successfully completed the operation and were followed up for 72.1±5.2 months (range, 60-84 months). The operation time was 81.6±4.3 min (range, 70-90 min), the intraoperative blood loss was 177.5±12.6 ml (range, 160-200 ml), and the hospital stay was 6.8±0.7 days (range, 6-9 days). The VAS score of the hip joint was 1.8±0.6 before operation and 2.3±0.6 at the last follow-up, and the difference was not statistically significant ( t=2.845, P=0.224). The preoperative HHS score was 57.1±5.9, and it increased to 87.3±4.0 at the last follow-up, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-22.141, P=0.001). At the last follow-up, the femoral anteversion angle was 17.0°±1.5°, which was lower than that before operation 41.6°±2.4°, with a statistically significant difference ( t=-44.868, P=0.008). The leg length discrepancy was 10.2±2.3 mm, which was lower than that before operation (26.4±6.1 mm), with a statistically significant difference ( t=-12.892, P<0.001). The lateral center-edge angle was 28° (26°, 30°), and the acetabular coverage rate was 78% (76%, 79%). The curative effect evaluation standard score of congenital dislocation of the hip was 24 (16.7, 25.7) points, including 7 excellent cases, 14 good cases, 4 fair cases, and 3 poor cases. The excellent and good rate was 75% (21/28). Conclusion:The modified Colonna arthroplasty for the treatment of unilateral dislocation DDH in adolescents has good mid-and long-term hip function recovery and radiographic improvement.
