STOMATOLOGY 2023;43(2):97-103
Objective:
To compare and investigate the physicochemical characteristics and antibacterial effect of ZnO nanofilms prepared by atomic layer deposition(ALD) at different deposition cycles.
Methods:
According to different ALD cycles, four groups were set up (control group, 300, 600 and 1 200 cycles group). Using DEZn and water as precursors, ZnO nanofilms were prepared by ALD on the surface of pure titanium specimens. Surface morphology of the films was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM); the element composition and crystal type of the films were observed by energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD); the hydrophilicity and thickness of the films were detected by water contact angle detector and ellipsometer. The cytotoxicity of the films was evaluated by CCK-8 assay. The antibacterial effect against S. aureus in vitro of the films was evaluated by optical density method.
Results:
The surface morphology of the films was uniform and compact as shown through SEM. The grain size increased with the increase of the number of ALD cycles. EDS results showed that the films were mainly composed of Zn and O elements. XRD results confirmed that the composition of the films was ZnO. Results of water contact angle showed that the films were hydrophobic. The thickness of the films was nanoscale and there was a linear relationship between the thickness and ALD cycles. All experimental groups showed no cytotoxicity. The 1 200 cycles group showed the highest antibacterial rate of 65.9% and 52.3% at 24 and 48 hours respectively, which was the best among all experimental groups.
Conclusion
The ZnO nanofilms prepared by ALD at different cycles on pure titanium surface are uniform and compact. Thickness of the films increases with the increase of ALD cycles. The films have good biocompatibility and anti-S. aureus effect in vitro. The 1 200 cycles group has the best antibacterial effect.

Traumatic intracranial hematoma progresses rapidly and may cause quick increase of intracranial pressure and even brain hernia, ultimately leading to coma or death. Therefore, traumatic intracranial hematoma needs prompt treatment, but the prerequisite of treatment is early examination and diagnosis. Due to the limited transportation and other reasons, the existing large-scale detection devices such as CT and MRI cannot be deployed on the rescue site or during patient transportation. Instead, the portable diagnosis devices have the characteristics of miniaturization and high flexibility, which is conducive to promoting early detection, assisting diagnosis and further guiding the formulation of treatment plans. At present, more and more attention has been paid to the portable diagnosis devices in the diagnosis of intracranial hematoma. The authors summarized the conventional diagnosis methods and application of portable diagnosis devices for traumatic intracranial hematoma, aiming to provide a reference for the diagnosis of traumatic intracranial hematoma.

Amomi Fructus (AF) refers to the dried mature fruit of Amomum villosum A. villosum. var. xanthiondes, and A. longiligulare, all belonging to the Zingiberaceae family. As one of the renowned "Four Southern Medicines", AF is also classified as an ingredient featured by "medicinal and food homology". It is mainly produced in Guangdong, Yunnan, and Hainan provinces in China. In recent years, with the in-depth implementation of the "Healthy China" strategy, AF has gained increasing popularity among the public due to its significant medicinal value. At the same time, research on its chemical composition, pharmacological effects, and identification methods has garnered widespread attention from scholars. The chemical composition of AF is highly complex. Its primary constituents include volatile components such as borneol acetate, camphor, and borneol, as well as non-volatile components such as polysaccharides, polyphenols, and mineral elements. AF possesses a wide range of pharmacological effects, including gastrointestinal protection, lipid-lowering and weight loss, glucose-lowering, uric acid-lowering, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and analgesic activities. The identification techniques for AF, including microscopic identification, molecular biological identification, and electrochemical fingerprinting, are crucial for its quality control, safety, and efficacy. However, in recent years, there have been few comprehensive summaries of research on AF, which limits further in-depth research and high-value development and utilization of AF. This article systematically reviewed the research progress on the chemical composition, pharmacological activity, and identification methods of AF, and is expected to provide prospects for future research.

Liver failure (LF) is a great trouble to the majority of patients due to its severe onset, many complications, difficult treatment, poor prognosis and other characteristics. This disease is liver injury caused by infection, hepatotoxic substances, autoimmunity, circulation disorders and other factors. It is a group of common clinical symptoms mainly manifested by coagulation disorders, jaundice, hepatic encephalopathy, ascites, and so on. In traditional Chinese medicine, it falls under the categories of "tympanites", "jaundice" and other diseases. At present, the research progress of Western medicine in the treatment of LF is slow, and its clinical application effect is still not ideal. In contrast, traditional Chinese medicine has a long history in the treatment of this disease, with over thousands of years of clinical practice and verification. It is characterized by exact efficacy and fewer side effects. The pathological mechanism of LF is extremely complex, involves a variety of signaling pathways, and is mainly related to inflammation, oxidative stress, liver fibrosis, cell apoptosis and other processes. In recent years, many studies have shown that traditional Chinese medicine can intervene in the occurrence and development of LF by mediating relevant signaling pathways in vivo, but there is still a lack of relevant summary. Therefore, this review summarized several signaling pathways related to the intervention of traditional Chinese medicine in LF by referring to and sorting out relevant literature worldwide, including nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), phosphatidylin-ositol-3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt), transforming growth factor-β/ drosophila mothers against decapentaplegic proteins (TGF-β/Smads), and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2/heme oxygenase-1 (Nrf2/HO-1), and elaborated the specific mechanism of their intervention in LF. This paper aims to provide practical and effective pathways and corresponding mechanisms for the treatment of LF by traditional Chinese medicine, and to provide new ideas and a theoretical basis for the clinical treatment of LF and further scientific research.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of different drug regimens in the treatment of children with Kawasaki disease, and to provide evidence-based reference for clinical treatment. METHODS Retrieved from the Cochrane Library, Medline, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, ProQuest, Google Scholar, CNKI, Wanfang Data, Baidu academic database, World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registration Platform and ClinicalTrials. gov, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG)+glucocorticoid or cyclosporine or tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) blocker (trial group) versus standard IVIG therapy (control group) were collected from the establishment of the database to Feb. 28th, 2023. After screening the literature, extracting data, and evaluating the quality of the literature, Stata 14.2 software was used for network meta-analysis. RESULTS Ten RCTs with a total of 1 323 participants involving six measures were included: standard IVIG therapy, glucocorticoid therapy,cyclosporine therapy, TNF- α blocker therapy, remedial glucocorticoid therapy and remedial TNF- α blocker therapy. Results of network meta-analysis showed that the incidence of coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) at 4-8 weeks was significantly lower in patients receiving glucocorticoid therapy than receiving standard IVIG therapy and TNF-α blocker therapy. The incidences of CAA at 4-8 weeks in children treated with remedial glucocorticoid therapy and remedial TNF- α blocker therapy were significantly higher than those treated with glucocorticoid therapy; there was no significant difference in the incidence of CAA at 4-8 weeks among other interventions (P> 0.05); network meta-order of the incidence was glucocorticoid therapy<cyclosporine therapy<standard IVIG therapy<remedial TNF-α blocker therapy<remedial glucocorticoid therapy<TNF-α blocker therapy. The incidence of initial IVIG resistance in children receiving cyclosporine therapy was significantly lower than those receiving standard IVIG therapy; there was no significant difference in the incidence of initial IVIG resistance among other interventions (P>0.05); network meta-order of the incidence was cyclosporine therapy<glucocorticoid therapy<TNF-α blocker therapy<standard IVIG therapy. There was no significant difference in the incidence of ADR among different interventions (P>0.05); network meta-order of the incidence was remedial TNF-α blocker therapy<TNF-α blocker therapy<standard IVIG therapy<glucocorticoid therapy<cyclosporine therapy. CONCLUSIONS Glucocorticoid therapy at the initial treatment can significantly reduce the risk of CAA at 4-8 weeks in children with Kawasaki disease; cyclosporine has a significant effect on improving initial IVIG resistance, and the use of TNF-α blocker in the remedial stage may have the lowest incidence of adverse reactions.
