How to effectively promote osseointegration of dental implants remains a pressing clinical challenge. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) has demonstrated remarkable efficacy in accelerating the healing of various bodily tissues, including bone tissue. In recent years, there has been extensive research on its application in promoting osseointegration in the field of dental implantology. Animal studies have shown that LIPUS exhibits significant potential in facilitating osseointegration of dental implants. In vitro experiments have further revealed that LIPUS can enhance the expression of key osteogenic factors, extracellular matrix mineralization, and induce local neurons to secrete αCGRP. Through the regulation of signaling pathways such as bone morphogenetic protein/Smad (Bmp/Smad), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3k/Akt), LIPUS promotes the proliferation, migration, and osteogenic differentiation of osteogenic-related cells, thereby enhancing osseointegration of dental implants. Additionally, clinical studies have shown that bone mass increases around the implants after LIPUS treatment, with more pronounced growth observed on the buccal bone plate than on the palatal side. Furthermore, there is a lack of research that systematically summarizes the clinical evidence, in vitro and in vivo studies, and mechanisms of action regarding the role of LIPUS in promoting osseointegration of implants. Therefore, the aim of this study is to discuss the mechanisms of effect of LIPUS on osseointegration of implants, with the goal of further enhancing the outcome of implant-supported prosthodontic treatment.

Momordica antiviral protein 30 kD(MAP30)is a type Ⅰ ribosome-inactivating protein(RIP)with antibacterial,anti-HIV and antitumor activities but lacks the ability to target tumor cells.To in-crease its tumor-targeting ability,the arginine-glycine-aspartic(RGD)peptide and the epidermal growth factor receptor interference(EGFRi)peptide were fused with MAP30,which was named ELRL-MAP30.The efficiency of targeted therapy for triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC)MDA-MB-231 cells,which lack the expression of estrogen receptor(ER),Progesterone receptor(PgR)and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2(HER2),is limited.In this study,we focus on exploring the effect and mecha-nism of ELRL-MAP30 on TNBC MDA-MB-231 cells.First,we discovered that ELRL-MAP30 significant-ly inhibited the migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells and induced MDA-MB-231 cell apoptosis.Moreover,ELRL-MAP30 treatment resulted in a significant increase in Bax expression and a decrease in Bcl-2 expression.Furthermore,ELRL-MAP30 triggered apoptosis via the Fak/EGFR/Erk and Ilk/Akt signaling pathways.In addition,recombinant ELRL-MAP30 can inhibit chicken embryonic angiogenesis,and also inhibit the tube formation ability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs),indica-ting its potential therapeutic effects on tumor angiogenesis.Collectively,these results indicate that ELRL-MAP30 has significant tumor-targeting properties in MDA-MB-231 cancer cells and reveals potential ther-apeutic effects on angiogenesis.These findings indicate the potential role of ELRL-MAP30 in the targeted treatment of the TNBC cell line MDA-MB-231.

Objective:To evaluate the cost-effectiveness and impact on mortality of health management services for the elderly aged 65 years and older in national essential public health service project.Methods:Based on the data of county-level medical institutions in Henan Province from 2019 to 2024,the Random Forest Method was used to construct a counterfactual framework to predict the hospitalization expenses under the unmanaged scenario,and then the cost-benefit ratio(BCR)and net income were calculated.Time-dependent Cox proportional hazards model was used to evaluate the effect of health management on all-cause mortality and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease mortality in the elderly.Results:A total of 962 955 elderly patients were included,451 119(46.85%)were included in the management group.The average hospitalization cost of the management group was significantly lower than that of the non-management group(P<0.05).Except for 2020-2021,BCRS in 2019 and 2022-2024 were 6.34,2.05,4.45 and 6.60,respectively.The risk of all-cause death was reduced by 76.96%,and the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular death was reduced by 75.57%in the elderly patients included in the management group compared with those not included in the management group.Suggestions:It is necessary to establish a health outcomes-based evaluation system and promote the transformation and upgrading of the service model from single chronic disease management to"integrated health services with multi-disease management".

Objective:To analyze the changes in serum levels of neurofilament light chain(NFL),binding protein S100 β(S100 β),and C-reactive protein(CRP)in patients with cognitive impairment after cardiac surgery,and to analyze the correlation between these indicators and patient prognosis.Methods:124 patients with heart disease who underwent surgical treatment from January 2022 to January 2025 were selected.One week after surgery,the patients were evaluated using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale(MoCA).60 patients with MoCA scores＜26 were divided into the cognitive impairment group,and 64 patients with MoCA scores ≥ 26 were divided into the non cognitive impairment group.Compare the general information of two groups,including changes in serum NFL,S100 β,and CRP levels before and after surgery.Using logistic regression to analyze the influencing factors of cognitive impairment after cardiac surgery.Following a 4-month postoperative follow-up,the cognitive impairment group was assessed using the MoCA score.Patients with a MoCA score＜26 were categorized as having a poor prognosis,while the remaining patients were classified as having a good prognosis.The NfL,S100β,and CRP levels in both groups were compared,and the ROC curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of serum NFL,S100β,and CRP for poor prognosis in patients with postoperative cognitive impairment.Results:There was no significant difference in gender,BMI,education level,comorbidities(hypertension,diabetes),disease type,ASA classification,intraoperative blood loss,intraoperative fluid replacement,and cardiopulmonary bypass time between cognitive impairment group and non-cognitive impairment group(P＞0.05).The cognitive impairment group had a higher incidence of age,anesthesia maintenance time during surgery,no analgesia after operation and agitation during awakening than the non-cognitive impairment group(P＜0.05);There was no significant difference in the levels of serum NFL,S100β,and CRP between the two groups of patients before surgery(P＞0.05).On postoperative day 3,the levels of serum NFL,S100β,and CRP increased in both groups,with the cognitive impairment group being higher than the non cognitive impairment group(P＜0.05);Using cognitive impairment(occurrence=1,no occurrence=0)as the dependent variable,logistic regression analysis showed that age,intraoperative anesthesia maintenance time,agitation during the recovery period,postoperative 3-day NFL,S100 β,CRP were independent influencing factors of cognitive impairment after cardiac surgery(P＜0.05);The serum levels of NFL,S100β,and CRP in the good prognosis group and poor prognosis group were higher than those before surgery,and the NFL,S100 β,and CRP levels in the poor prognosis group were higher than those in the good prognosis group before and after surgery(P＜0.05);Using poor prognosis as positive samples and good prognosis as negative samples,a ROC curve was plotted.The results showed that the sensitivity and specificity of the combined prediction of three indicators before and after surgery for poor prognosis of cognitive impairment in cardiac surgery were higher than those of a single indicator(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The serum levels of NFL,S100β,and CRP are significantly elevated in patients with cognitive impairment after cardiac surgery,and the early postoperative elevation of NFL,S100β,and CRP is a contributing factor to the occurrence of cognitive impairment.Preoperative and early postoperative detection of these indicators can predict the prognosis of patients with cognitive impairment after cardiac surgery.

Objective To summarize the changing prevalence of carbapenem resistance in Enterobacterales based on the data of CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program from 2015 to 2021 for improving antimicrobial treatment in clinical practice.Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using a commercial automated susceptibility testing system according to the unified CHINET protocol.The results were interpreted according to the breakpoints of the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)M100 31st ed in 2021.Results Over the seven-year period(2015-2021),the overall prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales(CRE)was 9.43％(62 342/661 235).The prevalence of CRE strains in Klebsiella pneumoniae,Citrobacter freundii,and Enterobacter cloacae was 22.38％,9.73％,and 8.47％,respectively.The prevalence of CRE strains in Escherichia coli was 1.99％.A few CRE strains were also identified in Salmonella and Shigella.The CRE strains were mainly isolated from respiratory specimens(44.23±2.80)％,followed by blood(20.88±3.40)％and urine(18.40±3.45)％.Intensive care units(ICUs)were the major source of the CRE strains(27.43±5.20)％.CRE strains were resistant to all the β-lactam antibiotics tested and most non-β-lactam antimicrobial agents.The CRE strains were relatively susceptible to tigecycline and polymyxins with low resistance rates.Conclusions The prevalence of CRE strains was increasing from 2015 to 2021.CRE strains were highly resistant to most of the antibacterial drugs used in clinical practice.Clinicians should prescribe antimicrobial agents rationally.Hospitals should strengthen antibiotic stewardship in key clinical settings such as ICUs,and take effective infection control measures to curb CRE outbreak and epidemic in hospitals.

Aim To study the mechanism of adipose mesenchymal stem cell exosomes(ASC-exo)inhibition of fluorescein isothiocyanate(FITC)-induced atopic dermatitis(AD).Methods The mouse age,extrac-tion method,and the concentration of a solution of typeⅠ collagen enzyme and other conditions were compared to study the effects on the morphology and quantity of adipose mesenchymal stem cells(ASCs)after extrac-ted.FITC-induced mouse model in vivo was estab-lished and different doses of ASC-exo were given to measure ear thickness,ear weight and ear scratching times of mice.HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of ear tissue of mice.The non-toxicity of ASC-exo was detected.IgE,IL-5,IL-13 and other cytokines were detected by ELISA.The gene ex-pressions of TSLP,IL-33,occludin,Claudin-1(CLDN-1)and E-cadherin were detected by RT-qPCR.The protein expression was detected by immunohistochemis-try.Results An efficient method for extracting ASCs was established.Compared with the blank group,mice in the model group showed obvious AD symptoms.Compared with the model group,ASC-exo administra-tion group significantly reduced the number of ear scratches,epidermal thickening,inflammatory cell infil-tration and the secretion of Th2 cytokines IL-5 and IL-13.Meanwhile,ASC-exo administration group signifi-cantly increased the expression of structural proteins CLDN-1 and occludin in epithelial cells and decreased the expression of TSLP and IL-33.Conclusions ASC-exo can significantly improve Th2 skin inflamma-tion in AD mice,and its mechanism may be through in-creasing the expression of tight junction proteins and adhesion link protein in epithelial cells,repairing the skin barrier,and inhibiting the key promoters of allergy TSLP and IL-33.

This study was aimed at providing basic data for the control and prevention of Yersinia enterocolitica(Ye)infections.Ye isolates from stool samples collected from patients with diarrhea in a Beijing district between January 2019 and June 2024 were studied.Basic patient information and stool samples were collected,and quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qPCR)was applied to enriched cultures.Further analyses included virulence gene detection,whole-genome sequencing,and drug resistance detection.The detection rate of Ye was 0.76%(11/1 439),according to culture methods,thus yielding 12 Ye strains from distinct patients:11 isolated during the study period and 1 from 2017.The 12 Ye positive patients were 6-41 years of age,and their clinical presentations predominantly featured watery stools(66.67%,8/12)and loose stools(33.33%,4/12).The frequencies of nausea,vomiting,and fever were 41.67%(5/12),41.67%(5/12),and 8.33%(1/12),respectively.The drug resistance rates of Ye to TET,AMP,and NAL were 50.00%(6/12),33.33%(4/12),and 25.00%(3/12),respectively.One Ye strain exhibited multidrug resistance to ETP,MEM,TET,CIP,NAL,and AMP.According to qPCR detection of five common virulence genes,two Ye strains were identified as ystA+/ystB-type(ystA+/ystB-/ail+/yadA+/virF+),whereas ten strains were identified as ystA-/ystB+type(ystA-/ystB+/ail-/yadA-/virF-).VFDB database analysis based on genome sequences indicated that 12 Ye strains carried an average of 11 key virulence genes associated with adhesion,invasion,protease activity,and flagellar movement,and predicted 106 virulence genes and 12 virulence gene profiles.Only the two ystA+/ystB-Ye strains contained elements related to the TTSS and ABC transporter function.Detection of ystA-/ystB+Ye in stool isolation and culture of diarrhea cases might potentially have been missed in some cases,thus highlighting the importance of fluorescence PCR screening of fecal growth solutions to enhance isolation efficiency.Moreover,our findings revealed the genetic diversity of Ye isolated from diarrhea cases,thereby indicating the presence of multiple types of virulence genes within this pathogen.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease(CJD)is a rare neurodegenerative disorder characterized by abnor-malities in the prion protein(PrP),the most common form of human prion disease.Although Genome-Wide Association Studies(GWAS)have identified numerous risk genes for CJD,the mechanisms under-lying these risk loci remain poorly understood.This study aims to elucidate novel genetically prioritized candidate proteins associated with CJD in the human brain through an integrative analytical pipeline.Uti-lizing datasets from Protein Quantitative Trait Loci(pQTL)(NpQTL1=152,NpQTL2=376),expres-sion QTL(eQTL)(N=452),and the CJD GWAS(NCJD=4 110,NControls=13 569),we imple-mented a systematic analytical pipeline.This pipeline included Proteome-Wide Association Study(PWAS),Mendelian randomization(MR),Bayesian colocalization,and Transcriptome-Wide Associa-tion Study(TWAS)to identify novel genetically prioritized candidate proteins implicated in CJD patho-genesis within the brain.Through PWAS,we identified that the altered abundance of six brain proteins was significantly associated with CJD.Two genes,STX6 and PDIA4,were established as lead causal genes for CJD,supported by robust evidence(False Discovery Rate＜0.05 in MR analysis;PP4/(PP3+PP4)≥0.75 in Bayesian colocalization).Specifically,elevated levels of STX6 and PDIA4 were asso-ciated with an increased risk of CJD.Additionally,TWAS demonstrated that STX6 and PDIA4 were asso-ciated with CJD at the transcriptional level.
