Objective To establish an ideal focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion model in monkeys.Methods Adult healthy rhesus monkeys(Macaca mulatta) 12 cases(male 6 and female 6),aged 4-7 years and weighted 4.8-7.5kg.were used in this study.The middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion(MCAO/R) model was established by inserting a standard micro-balloon catheter intraluminally from the carotid common artery or femoral artery into the proximal segment of the middle cerebral artery(MCA).The regional cerebral blood flow of MCA was occluded by expanding the micro-balloon to cause ischemia,and withdrawing the micro-ballon catheter to reperfuse the MCA.The MCAO/R model was evaluated by angiography,magnetic resonance angiography(MRA),magnetic resonance imaging(MRI),tetrazolium chloride(TTC) staining and neurological behavoral function scores.Results By inserting a micro-balloon catheter intraluminally from the carotid common artery or femoral artery into the MCA,the micro-balloon catheter could be inserted into the MCA to occlude blood flow,and no image of MCA shown on TV screen.In MCA blood flow supplied area,magnetic resonance T1,T2 and DWI showed high signals,TTC staining showed cerebral ischemic infarction,and correspondly the monkeys showed neurological function disorders.This method used a simple operatire procedure had a high successful rate,and could be repeated.Conclusion We showed ideal method to establish the MCAO/R model in monkeys by inserting intraluminally a micro-balloon catheter into the MCA.

Objective To study the correlation between renal function and arterial stiffness of Uighur population over 35 years old in Xinjiang area. Methods From October 2007 to March 2010, four-stage stratified random sampling method was applied to collect a total of 4312 Uighur people over 35 years old in Urumqi, Karamay, Fukang, Turpan area, Hotan prefecture, Yili Kazak autonomous prefecture and Altai prefecture. The data of these 4312 general urban and rural Uygur residents were complete. Simplified MDRD formula was used to calculate the estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Arm-ankle pulse wave velocity (b-aPWV) of both sides was measured and the average value was used in correlation analysis with eCFR, and then the associated risk factors were adjusted. Results The eGFR was negatively correlated with b-aPWV (r=-0.174, P<0.01). Multiple linear regression showed that after adjusting some risk factors such as age, sex, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, waist circumference, hip circumference, uric acid, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein, eGFR was still negatively correlated with b-aPWV (P=0.012). Conclusions In Uygur population over 35 years old in Xinjiang, the glomerular filtration rate is negatively correlated with arterial stiffness.

The pathogenesis of male infertility is intricate and complex,and now,Western medicine is primarily based on empirical drug treatment.Male infertility is one of the advantageous diseases of traditional Chinese medicine,and traditional Chinese medicine has obvious effect in improving male reproductive function,which is one of the important means of clinical treatment of this disease.Based on the classical ancient books and modern research,and based on the traditional tonifying kidney method,we have innovatively put forward the concept of treating male infertility with the principle of"deficiency of kidney essence as the root,tonifying kidney and benefiting essence as the method,and regulating yin and yang mildly as the rule",which has achieved good clinical efficacy.At the same time,combined with the long-term clinical practice of our team,we have proposed five major diagnosis and treatment strategies for male infertility,i.e.,combining disease identification with syndrome identification,combining macroscopic with microscopic approaches,combining holistic with localized treatments,combining traditional Chinese medicine with surgery,and combining treatment of the disease and treatment of the person.In addition,we have summarized some of the current problems in the treatment of male infertility with traditional Chinese medicine and put forward corresponding suggestions,with a view to promoting the development and application of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of male infertility.

Objective:To explore the method of obtaining the key parameters of the average value articulator in healthy people based on mandibular movement trajectory data, with a view to providing a reference for the clinical application of the average value articulator.Methods:One hundred healthy volunteers (42 males and 58 females) with individual normal occlusion, aged 18-55 years old, who met the inclusion criteria were recruited from Beijing, and their mandibular movement trajectory data were collected. The left and right sagittal condylar inclination(SCI) and transversal condylar inclination(TCI) were obtained from the values of the articulator parameters which were generated in the mandibular movement analysis system.The SCI and TCI were grouped by gender and calculated separately for the two groups and the overall sample; the gender differences in the two parameters and the differences between the mean values of the two parameters and the average value articulator empirical values (35° for SCI and 15° for TCI) for the overall sample were compared.Results:The differences between SCI (35.8°±7.4°) and TCI [11.2° (11.3°)] in males and the corresponding parameters [35.6°±8.3° and 10.8° (9.5°), respectively] in females were not statistically significant ( t=0.10, P=0.922; Z=-0.60, P=0.552); the overall sample SCI (35.7°±7.9°) did not differ statistically from the average value articulator empirical value ( t=1.23, P=0.221), and the overall sample TCI [10.9° (10.3°)] was significantly smaller than the average value articulator empirical value ( W=5 825.00, P<0.001). Conclusions:The mandibular movement trajectory data of 100 adults with individual normal occlusion in this study shows that the gender factor does not affect the setting of the key parameters of the average value articulator, the SCI of the average value articulator empirical values is appropriate, and the TCI has the possibility of being on the large side. In the clinical use of the articulator to assist in the design of restorations, the parameter values should be rationally adjusted according to the actual situation of the patient′s dentition and mandibular movement.

Objective To establish the three-dimensional (3D) statistical shape model (SSM) of the foot, so as to reveal the 3D foot shape variations. Methods Foot data from 50 normal Chinese young males were used for 3D statistical shape modelling. Steps, including mesh registration of foot surface, axis alignment and principal component (PC) analysis (dimension reduction), were performed to obtain the parameterized foot shape (mean shape and standard deviation of PC). Results Through the principal component analysis (PCA), the 3D foot shape varied in the length and width (PC1, 48.01%), arch and dorsal height (PC2, 11.38%), and hallux abduction-adduction position (PC3, 7.48%). Conclusions Based on the parameterised 3D foot SSM, these datasets can be applied into the population-based shoe last manufacture, orthotics customization and quick diagnosis of foot disorders in clinic.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics and prognosis of acute hyperextension spinal cord injury (SCI) in children, and to provide some recommendations for the treatment and prevention of this disease.Methods:Reviewed the data of children of SCI after sustained or repeated hyperextension of the spine at Wuhan Union Hospital and Wuhan Children's Hospital from September 2010 to September 2020. According to the American Spinal Injury Association impairment scale (AIS grade), the patients were divided into complete SCI group and incomplete SCI group. The age, symptoms and evolution after injury, neurological level of injury, imaging data, laboratory examination data, prognosis and complications of the two groups were analyzed. Retrospectively summarize the characteristics of this type of injury.Results:Forty-four cases of acute hyperextension SCI in children were included. Their age ranged from 3 to 10 years old, 95% of them were under 8 years old and 95% of them were female. There was no significant difference in age at injury and time of dance training between children with complete SCI and incomplete SCI. Back and leg pain, lower limb weakness or paresthesia, and rapidly progress to complete or incomplete SCI in a short period were typical symptoms. All blood test results anddiagnostic analysis of cerebrospinal fluid were unremarkable or negative. There was no fracture or dislocation in the whole spine. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a longitudinally extended intramedullary high-intensity signal in the thoracolumbar spinal cord. Complete SCI accounted for 60% of all cases, and the prognosis was poor with spinal cord atrophy and various complications.Conclusion:Children younger than 10 years old after sustained or repeated hyperextension of the spine may suffer acute hyperextension SCI. Children with complete SCI have poor prognosis and serious complications. Therefore, prevention of this type of injury is the best strategy.

At present, there are still about 250 million people with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection around the world, which seriously threatens human life and health. Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) can develop into liver diseases such as liver fibrosis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma; however, there is still a limited number of antiviral drugs and an extremely low cure rate in clinical practice, and thus it is urgent to develop new antiviral drugs. HBV has strong hepatotropism and only infects a few primates such as humans and chimpanzees under natural conditions. Whether immune response (innate immunity and adaptive immunity) can effectively recognize and eliminate or inhibit HBV is an important factor leading to different outcomes after virus infection, and cytokines play an important immunoregulatory role in this process. This article summarizes and discusses the research advances in some key cytokines in CHB infection and treatment.

Objective This study proposes a chairside digital design and manufacturing method for band and loop space maintainers and preliminarily validates its clinical feasibility.Methods Clinical cases of 10 children requiring space maintenance caused by premature loss of primary teeth were collected.Intraoral scan data of the affected children were also collected to establish digital models of the missing teeth.Using a pediatric band and loop space maintainer de-sign software developed by our research team,a rapid personalized design of band and loop structures was achieved,and a digital model of an integrated band and loop space maintainer was ultimately generated.A chairside space maintainer was manufactured through metal computer numerical control machining for the experimental group,whereas metal 3D printing in the dental laboratory was used for the control group.A model fitting assessment was conducted for the space maintainers of both groups,and senior pediatric dental experts were invited to evaluate the clinical feasibility of the space maintainers with regard to fit and stability using the visual analogue scale scoring system.Statistical analysis was also performed.Results The time spent in designing and manufacturing the 10 space maintainers of the experimental group was all less than 1 h.Statistical analysis of expert ratings showed that the experimental group outperformed the control group with regard to fit and stability.Both types of space maintainers met clinical requirements.Conclusion The chairside digital design and manufacturing method for pediatric band and loop space maintainers proposed in this study can achieve same-day fitting of space maintainers at the first appointment,demonstrating good clinical feasibility and significant potential for clinical application.

Objective:To establish an intelligent registration algorithm under the framework of original-mirror alignment algorithm to construct three-dimensional (3D) facial midsagittal plane automatically. Dynamic Graph Registration Network (DGRNet) was established to realize the intelligent registration, in order to provide a reference for clinical digital design and analysis.Methods:Two hundred clinical patients without significant facial deformities were collected from October 2020 to October 2022 at Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology. The DGRNet consists of constructing the feature vectors of key points in point original and mirror point clouds (X, Y), obtaining the correspondence of key points, and calculating the rotation and translation by singular value decomposition. Original and mirror point clouds were registrated and united. The principal component analysis (PCA) algorithm was used to obtain the DGRNet alignment midsagittal plane. The model was evaluated based on the coefficient of determination (R 2) index for the translation and rotation matrix of test set. The angle error was evaluated on the 3D facial midsagittal plane constructed by the DGRNet alignment midsagittal plane and the iterative closet point (ICP) alignment midsagittal plane for 50 cases of clinical facial data. Results:The average angle error of the DGRNet alignment midsagittal plane and ICP alignment midsagittal plane was 1.05°±0.56°, and the minimum angle error was only 0.13°. The successful detection rate was 78% (39/50) within 1.50° and 90% (45/50) within 2.00°.Conclusions:This study proposes a new solution for the construction of 3D facial midsagittal plane based on the DGRNet alignment method with intelligent registration, which can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of treatment to some extent.
