Objective To investigate the remineralization effects of the Aominqing dental desensitizer and the fluoride dentifrice on the demineralized enamels. Methods Sixty-three teeth were randomly divided into three groups after demineralization , then was remineralized for eight days by using Aominqing dental desensitizer, fluoride dentifrice (1.1 g/L), and deionized water, respectively. The thin sections of teeth were analyzed under the con-focal laser scanning microscope (CLSM). The morphology of the surface of teeth was observed under the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results Under CLSM, the evaluation parameter area of the fluorescent lesion (A,μm2) processed by Aominqing and by fluoride was (3.19 ± 0.19) × 104, (3.61 ± 0.26) × 104 μm2, respectively. The total fluorescence (TF) was (0.61 ± 0.09) × 106, (0.89 ± 0.15) × 106, average fluorescent of the lesion(AF) was (18.98 ± 1.56), (24.65 ± 2.39), and the above parameters were all less than those in the blank control group [A=(4.89 ± 0.24) × 104 μm2,TF=(1.78 ± 0.21) × 106, AF = 36.29 ± 2.57] (P < 0.01). The evaluation parameters in the Aominqing group were less than those in the fluoride dentifrice group(P < 0.05). Under SEM, the surface of the group processed by Aominqing was the smoothest, compared to the fluoride dentifrice group and the blank control group. Conclusions Both Aominqing dental desensitizer and fluoride dentifrice (1.1 g/L) have the remineralization effects on the demineralized enamels, and the former has a stronger effect.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of Minqing Ao dental desensitizer in the treatment of early childhood caries (ECC).Methods:41 0 teeth with ECC in 1 1 0 cases were divided into 3 groups.Minqing Ao dental desensitizer,fluoride toothpaste and ordinary toothpaste without fluoride were respectively used in group A,B and C.The laser fluorescence value(LFV)was meas-ured and compared before treatment,2,4,6 weeks and 6 months after treatment.Results:2 weeks after treatment,the LFV was not significantly changed in the 3 groups.4 weeks after treatment LFV in group A was decreased(P<0.01 ),the LFV in group A was lower than that in group B(P<0.05)and in group C(P<0.01 ).While there was no significant difference between group B and C(P>0.05).6 weeks after treatment LFV in group A and B was decreased(P<0.01 and P<0.05),there was significant difference be-tween each 2 groups(P<0.05).6 weeks and 6 months after treatment LFV in group A was lower than that in group B(P<0.01 ),and in group B was lower than that in group C(P<0.01 ).Conclusion:Minqing Ao is effective for treatment of early childhood caries.

Objective To investigate the changes of the gray matter in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) based on the voxel based morphometry (VBM).Methods 35 patients with RA and 30 healthy volunteers with age,sex and education level matched performed a high-resolution 3D-T1-weighted whole brain structural scan by GE Signa HDxt 1.5T MRI scanner.The high resolution T1WI images were preprocessed by the VBM 12 implemented in the SPM 12 software to display the gray matter structures of the RA patients and the healthy volunteers.T test was used to compare the morphological changes of gray matter between the RA patients and the volunteers.Results The gray matter volume gray matter volume in the right lentiform nucleus,left frontal lobe and left cerebellum posterior lobe significantly decreased in RA patients,and their gray matter volume had no correlation with the clinical indications.The increase of gray matter volume was not found in the RA patients.Conclusion RA patients show decreased gray matter volume in several cerebral regions,which suggests that RA can lead to the brain structural abnormalities.VBM can provide an objective imaging evidence to evaluate the cerebral morphological abnormalities of RA.

Pyroptosis belongs to the programmed cell death of inflammatory cells, which is regulated by GSDMD (Caspase-1,-4,-5-11) and GSDME (Caspase-3, granzyme). Multiple regulatory pathways of pyroptosis are abnormally expressed in gastric cancer cells, indicating that pyroptosis is closely related to gastric cancer and has the potential to become a new target for gastric cancer treatment. Combined with current mainstream treatments such as chemotherapy and immunotherapy, it may improve clinical treatment effect of gastric cancer. This article reviews the molecular mechanism of pyroptosis, the related research on gastric cancer and pyroptosis, and the related research on pyroptosis and gastric cancer treatment to explore the possibility of pyroptosis as a new target for gastric cancer, and to provide new research ideas for gastric cancer treatment.

Objective To investigate the popularization of cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR)knowledge and science popularization needs among urban and rural residents in Tonghai County,Yuxi City,Yunnan Province,so as to explore the establishment of an efficient and appropriate science popularization model.Methods A total of 300 residents aged 15-60 years old were selected from Tonghai County,Yuxi City,Yunnan Province using stratified and simple random sampling methods.A self-designed questionnaire was used to conduct an anonymous questionnaire survey.Results Only 20.3%of Tonghai County residents master CPR skills,and 26.2%of Tonghai County residents have never heard of CPR.There is a statistically significant difference in the awareness rate of CPR between rural residents and non-rural residents(P<0.01).There are differences in residents'age and CPR awareness(P<0.01),the age and CPR are inversely proportional.The residents have a higher willingness to perform chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on strangers,66.2%and 68.6%respectively.63.79%of residents have never attended relevant training.But 92.76%of the people said they were willing to participate in the relevant training when they learned the training news.Conclusion Residents in Tonghai County generally lack knowledge of CPR first aid,but the demand for first aid knowledge of residential CPR is high and the attitude towards rescue is positive.It is recommended that relevant departments increase CPR science popularization and training efforts,and popularize CPR into villages.

Objective: To provide reliable prediction models based on dentoskeletal and soft tissue variables for customizing maxillary incisor positions and to optimize digitalized orthodontic treatment planning. Methods: This study included 244 Chinese women (age, 18–40 years old) with esthetic profiles after orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances (133 in group I: 1° ≤ The angle between the nasion [N]-A point [A] plane and the N-B point [B] plane [ANB] ≤ 4°; 111 in group II: 4° < ANB ≤ 7°). Dental, skeletal, and soft tissue measurements were performed on lateral cephalograms of the participants. Correlation and multiple linear regression analyses were used to determine the influence of dentoskeletal and soft tissue variables on maxillary incisor position. Results: The ideal anteroposterior position of the maxillary incisor varied between sagittal skeletal patterns. The position of the maxillary incisor correlated with the sagittal discrepancy between the maxilla and the mandible (ANB), protrusion of the midface, nasal tip projection, development of the chin, and inclination of both the maxillary and mandibular incisors. Distance from the maxillary central incisor to nasion-pogonion plane predicted using multiple linear regression analysis was accurate and could be a practical measurement in orthodontic treatment planning. Conclusions Instead of using an average value or norm, orthodontists should customize a patient’s ideal maxillary incisor position using dentoskeletal and soft tissue evaluations.

Osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) is the most common fragility fracture. Along with growth of population and increase of average life expectancy, the incidence of OVCF is rising constantly. As a common complication of OVCF, vertebral refracture not only possesses a high incidence, but also places a heavy physical, mental and financial burden on patients due to the pain and motor dysfunction. How to effectively prevent and treat the vertebral refracture has become a clinical focus at home and abroad. Vertebral refracture is a cumulative result of multiple factors, including patient factors as well as treatment factors. Accordingly, the authors summarize the related risk factors of vertebral refracture in OVCF patients in terms of systemic, local and therapeutic factors, so as to provide a certain reference for reducing the incidence of vertebral refracture and follow-up researches.

Pruni Semen,the seed of several unique Prunus plants,is a traditional purgative herbal material.To determine the authentic sources of Pruni Semen,46 samples from four species were collected and analyzed.Ten compounds including multiflorin A(Mul A),a notable purative compound,were isolated and identified by chemical separation and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.Seventy-six communal components were identified by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography with linear ion trap-quadrupole Orbitrap mass spectrometry,and acetyl flavonoid glycosides were recognized as characteristic constituents.The flavonoids were distributed in the seed coat and cyanogenic glycosides in the kernel.Based on this,methods for identifying Pruni Semen from different sources were established using chemical fingerprinting,quantitative analysis of the eight principal compounds,hierarchical cluster analysis,principal component analysis,and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis.The results showed that the samples were divided into two categories:one is the small seeds from Prunus humilis(Ph)and Prunus japonica(Pj),and the other is the big seeds from Prunus pedunculata(Pp)and Prunus triloba(Pt).The average content of Mul A was 3.02.6.93,0.40,and 0.29 mg/g,while the average content of amygdalin was 18.5,17.7,31.5,and 30.9 mg/g in Ph,Pj,Pp,and Pt,respectively.All the above information suggests that small seeds might be superior sources of Pruni Semen.This is the first comprehensive report on the identification of chemical components in Pruni Semen from different species.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors of psychological stress in patients with coronary heart disease, and the effect path of joint decision-making between doctors and patients on psychological stress and to provide reference for the formulation of management plan for physical and mental health of patients with coronary heart disease.Methods:From July 2017 to April 2022, 715 retired patients with coronary heart disease hospitalized in General Hospital of the People′s Liberation Army and Air Force Hospital in Western Military Theater of the People′s Liberation Army were investigated adopted cross-sectional survey method by simple random sampling using general information questionnaire, Stress Response Questionnaire, Shared Decision-making Questionnaire between Doctors and Patients, Uncertainty in Illness Scale and Simple Coping Style Questionnaire. By using structural equation modeling, the direct and indirect influence paths of shared decision-making between doctors and patients on psychological stress were analyzed.Results:The scores of psychological stress, shared decision-making, uncertainty in illness, positive coping style and negative coping style were 49.81 ± 11.06, 79.24 ± 8.68, 76.40 ± 12.56, 21.67 ± 5.51 and 8.90 ± 3.12. Correlation analysis showed that the scores of psychological stress were positively correlated with the scores of uncertainty in illness and negative coping style ( r=0.661, 0.591, both P<0.01), and negatively correlated with the scores of shared decision-making between doctors and patients and positive coping style ( r=-0.623, -0.451, both P<0.01). Path analysis showed that shared decision-making between doctors and patients had a direct effect on psychological stress, accounting for 23.81% of the total effect; the uncertainty in illness, positive coping style and negative coping style played a part of intermediary role between the joint decision-making between doctors and patients and psychological stress, accounting for 32.35%, 8.40% and 17.93% of the total effect respectively; the uncertainty in illness and negative coping style had a chain mediating effect between them, accounting for 17.51% of the total effect. Conclusions:It suggests that the shared decision-making between doctors and patients with coronary heart disease is not only directly related to psychological stress, but also indirectly related to psychological stress through uncertainty in illness and coping style, among which coping style may play a role of "pivot" to a certain extent.
