Cemental tear is a rare and indetectable condition unless obvious clinical signs present with the involvement of surrounding periodontal and periapical tissues. Due to its clinical manifestations similar to common dental issues, such as vertical root fracture, primary endodontic diseases, and periodontal diseases, as well as the low awareness of cemental tear for clinicians, misdiagnosis often occurs. The critical principle for cemental tear treatment is to remove torn fragments, and overlooking fragments leads to futile therapy, which could deteriorate the conditions of the affected teeth. Therefore, accurate diagnosis and subsequent appropriate interventions are vital for managing cemental tear. Novel diagnostic tools, including cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), microscopes, and enamel matrix derivatives, have improved early detection and management, enhancing tooth retention. The implementation of standardized diagnostic criteria and treatment protocols, combined with improved clinical awareness among dental professionals, serves to mitigate risks of diagnostic errors and suboptimal therapeutic interventions. This expert consensus reviewed the epidemiology, pathogenesis, potential predisposing factors, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of cemental tear, aiming to provide a clinical guideline and facilitate clinicians to have a better understanding of cemental tear.

Objective To analyze the impact of patients ages on propofol dosage in painless gastroscopy.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 158 painless gastroscopy patients from January 2017 to June 2020.They were divided into the young group(18～44 years old,n = 57),the middle-aged group(45～59 years old,n = 51),and the elderly group(≥60 years old,n = 50)based on their age.The anesthesia status and safety of each group were compared.Results The results showed that the dosage of propofol,average total dosage of propofol,MAP,HR,RR,SpO2 levels in the young group were higher than those in the middle-aged and elderly groups when consciousness disappeared,and the middle-aged group was higher than the elderly group;The onset time,anesthesia recovery time,orientation recovery time,and departure time in the young group of patients were shorter than those in the middle-aged and elderly groups,and the middle-aged group was shorter than the elderly group(P<0.05).The incidence of airway obstruction,hypoxemia,mandible support,mask ventilation,adverse cardiovascular events,sedation related adverse events,and incidence of obstructed endoscopy in the elderly group were higher than those in the young and middle-aged groups.The incidence of smooth endoscopy was lower than that in the young and middle-aged groups(P<0.05).Conclusion Aging may increase the dosage of propofol in patients underwent painless gastroscopy under anesthesia,prolong the onset time,anesthesia recovery time,orientation recovery time,and departure time,increase stress reactions and adverse reactions,and strengthen monitoring for elderly patients in clinical practice.

Objective To explore the correlations between self-management and quality of life in elderly patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, so as to provide effective measures to improve quality of life of them. Methods A total of 750 elderly patients with CHF were selected as the research subjects by convenience sampling method from 5 regions of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from February to August 2015. General Data Questionnaire, Heart Failure Self-Management Scale and Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) were applied in the investigation to analyze the correlation between self-management and quality of life. Results A total of 750 questionnaires were distributed and 704 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective recovery rate of 94.1%. The total score of self-management and MLHFQ in the 704 CHF patients was (47.6±11.1) and (57.1±18.5) respectively. Pearson correlation analysis showed that patients' self-management was positively correlated with quality of life (r=0.114, P＜ 0.05). Conclusions The overall level of self-management and quality of life in elderly patients with chronic heart failure in Xinjiang Region is mid-to-low. Nursing intervention can give full play to the initiative of self-management behavior in accordance with patients' cultural background, so as to improve their quality of life.

Objective To formulate the clinical application specification of antibiotics ,make a deference index of antibac-terial drugs in chest department according to the investigation about the antibiotics′utility situation in chest department in 2014 and provide a theoretic foundation for the clinical doctor to promote the clinical rational drug use .Methods The antibiotics′ap-plication information of 300 cases inpatients in the chest department of a hospital in 2014 were researched and analyzed through retrospection ,regarding with the relevant regulations and related clinical practice guidelines ,the clinical application specifica-tion of antibiotics was formulated and the analysis ,calculation ,statistics to the actual and theoretical value of the rate and inten-sity of antibiotics′application ,the application rate of the prophylactic antibiotics of type I incision on the inpatients in the chest department had been done .The differentiation index of them were establish .Results The rates of the actual antibiotics′appli-cation and the prophylactic antibiotics of type I incision respectively were 72 .7% and 92 .6% ,while the intensity of antibiotics′application was 61.2 DDDs/(100 persons · d ) . The deference indexes of them were developed 69 .3% , 63 .0% and 49.3 DDDs/(100 persons · d) .Conclusions There′re still much irrational places in the use of antibiotics in chest department of the hospital .It′s essential to strengthen supervision in order to promote the rational use of antibiotics in clinical practice .

N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) capped quantum dots (QDs) were synthesized by a hydrothermal method and coated with 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose (DG), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and 9-D-arginine (9R). The optical properties, morphology and structure of 9R/DG-coated CdTe QDs were characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectrometry, fluorescence spectrum, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), liquid chromatography-mass spectrometer (LC-MS), sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and transmission electron micrographs (TEM). Furthermore, the biocompatibility, tumor targeted ability and transmembrane action of 9R/DG-coated CdTe QDs were studied. Results indicated that 9R/DG-coated CdTe QDs was constructed successfully by ligand exchange. The 9R/DG-coated CdTe QDs with the size of 8-10 nm had good dispersity and the absorbance and fluorescence peaks of CdTe QDs after modification were red shifted from 480 nm to 510 nm and 627 nm to 659 nm, respectively. In addition, the CdTe QDs modified by PEG, DG and 9R displayed good biocompatibility, high targeted ability to the cancer cells with glucose transporter type 1 (GLUT1) receptor high expression and obvious transmembrane ability.

ObjectiveTo understand the clinical epidemiology of enterovirus 71 (EV71) in children with hand,foot,and mouth disease (HFMD) in Shanghai during 2010 to 2011.Methods The demographic,etiological and clinical data of children with HFMD were analyzed retrospectively.EV71 was tested in stool samples by one-step quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).The date were analyzed by Chi-square test.ResultsEV71 was detected in 820 (54.45％) of 1506 inpatients in 2010 and in 924 (59.84％) of 1544 inpatients in 2011,respectively.The detection rates in severe cases and uncomplicated cases were 86.31％ and 46.67％ (x2 =247.146,P＜0.01) in 2010 and 88.78％ and 48.75％ (x2 =201.664,P＜0.01) in 2011,respectively.The detection rate of EV71 was the highest (60％- 67 ％) during May and June when HFMD peaked.Among 1744 EV71-infected HFMD inpatients,the male-to-female ratio was 1.78 ∶ 1 ; the proportion of cases was the lowest in infant ＜6 months of age (0.46％,8/1744),and the highest in children 1 years of age (34.92％,609/1744); children aged 1-3 years accounted for 76.78％ (1339/1744);and migrant children accounted for 72.76 ％ (1269/1744).The demographic characteristics in severe cases were similar to those in general EV71-infected children.Nine severe cases of pulmonary edema/hemorrhage were all infected with EV71.Conclusions EV71 was a major pathogen causing the outbreaks of HFMD and severe complications in Shanghai in 2010 and 2011.Most severe cases and all critically severe cases were associated with EV71 infection.
