Cleft lip and palate (CLP) are common congenital craniofacial developmental disorders with a high incidence rate among newborns. Due to the influence of the cleft, an increased frequency of anomalies occurs in cleft-adjacent teeth. This review summarizes the abnormality of tooth development and malposition characteristics of the central incisors, lateral incisors, and canines adjacent to the alveolar cleft in CLP patients and treatment progress in order to provide information for related clinical treatment and research. The literature reveals that central incisors, lateral incisors, and canines adjacent to the alveolar cleft exhibit various types and degrees of abnormalities. The alveolar cleft-adjacent central incisors show significantly smaller mesiodistal diameters, root lengths, and root volumes compared to the non-alveolar cleft side, while the crown-to-root ratio is larger. Further, they are inclined distally and lingually compared to the non-alveolar cleft side. The alveolar cleft-adjacent lateral incisor is the most common missing or impacted tooth and is often affected by microdontia. The total length and root length of the alveolar cleft-adjacent canines are significantly smaller, while the crown-to-root ratio is larger on the alveolar cleft side. In addition, they are inclined mesially and buccally compared to the non-alveolar cleft side. Further, they are higher positioned and located closer to the midline. For developmental anomalies, impacted central incisors can be addressed by orthodontic space preparation to facilitate eruption or surgical crown exposure and orthodontic traction. Treatment of missing lateral incisors can involve orthodontic closure of the gap or preservation of the space for subsequent prosthetic restoration. When lateral incisors present with developmental defects, such as microdontia, peg-shaped teeth, or invaginated teeth, a comprehensive decision is necessary to determine whether to retain and restore or extract the malformed lateral incisors. Treatment of impacted canines after bone grafting involves either extraction or traction to facilitate the eruption of the impacted tooth. For malposition, presurgical orthodontic treatment can correct teeth with excessive inclination or rotation on the cleft side to improve the effectiveness of bone grafting surgery. Postsurgical orthodontic treatment can enhance the stability of bone grafting surgery. Although numerous studies have explored the dental characteristics of patients with CLP, the lack of applicability and specificity still need to be elucidated, thus indicating the need for further research.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neuroinflammatory demyelinating disease, mediated by pathogenic T helper 17 (Th17) cells. However, the therapeutic effect is accompanied by the fluctuation of the proportion and function of Th17 cells, which prompted us to find the key regulator of Th17 differentiation in MS. Here, we demonstrated that the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM-2), a modulator of pattern recognition receptors on innate immune cells, was highly expressed on pathogenic CD4-positive T lymphocyte (CD4+ T) cells in both patients with MS and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mouse models. Conditional knockout of Trem-2 in CD4+ T cells significantly alleviated the disease activity and reduced Th17 cell infiltration, activation, differentiation, and inflammatory cytokine production and secretion in EAE mice. Furthermore, with Trem-2 knockout in vivo experiments and in vitro inhibitor assays, the TREM-2/zeta-chain associated protein kinase 70 (ZAP70)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signal axis was essential for Th17 activation and differentiation in EAE progression. In conclusion, TREM-2 is a key regulator of pathogenic Th17 in EAE mice, and this sheds new light on the potential of this therapeutic target for MS.

OBJECTIVE:To struc turally modify shikimic acid ,and to investigate the reversal effects of its derivatives on paclitaxel-resistant human breast cancer cells MCF- 7/PTX. METHODS :Using shikimic acid as the lead structure ,1-position carboxyl group was structurally modified to synthesize a series of shikimic acid derivatives through esterification ,amidation, hydrogenation and reduction ,etc. Using non-drug resistant cells MCF- 7 as reference ,MTT assay was used to screen derivatives with inhibitory activity as well as half-inhibitory concentration (IC50)and reversal index (RI)of derivatives to MCF- 7/PTX. With the drug resistance-related transgelin 2 as the target ,the molecular docking of the active derivatives with the drug resistance-related protein was carried out by using Glide 1.0 computer-aided design software. RESULTS :Totally 15 derivatives were obtained (T1-T15), of which T 4-T15 were obtained for the first time. MTT assay showed that (3R, 4S, 5R) -N-benzyl-3, 4, 5-trihydroxy-1-cyclohexene-1-formamide(T7),(3R,4S,5R)-N-(3,4,5-trihydroxy-1-cyclohexenylmethyl)-benzylamine(T14), (3R,4S,5R)-3,4-O-isopropyl-5-O-acetyl-1-cyclohexene-1-methyl formate (T15)inhibited MCF- 7 and MCF- 7/PTX cells to a certain extent ;IC50 values of T 7,T14 and T 15 combined with pacliaxel to MCF- 7/PTX cells were significantly lower than that in negative control (Paclitaxel alone )group(P<0.05). RIs of T 14 and T 15 were higher ,and RIs of the highest dose were 8.8 and 9.3, which were equivalent to positive control verapamil (10.8). Th e results of molecular docking showed that the hydroxyl groups at positions 3,4 of T 7 could form multiple hydrogen bonds with ; Arg625 and Asp 627 in the catalytic region of transgelin 2. In addition to the hydrogen bond mentioned above at T 7,the mail:batistuta28@126.com secondary amine side chain at position 1 of T 14 could also form hydrogen bond with Glu 657 of transgelin 2. When the hydroxyl group on the T 15 mother nucleus was derived from the donor group ,the binding of the hydroxyl group to transgelin 2 was closer and the inhibition was enhanced. CONCLUSIONS : The derivatives T 7,T14 and T 15 have certain reverse activity to paclitaxel-resistant human breast cancer cells. The polyhydroxy structure of the mother nucleus is the main structural region of the hydrogen bond between shikimic acid and its derivatives and transgelin 2. The derivation of its power supply group or the introduction of secondary amines and hydrophobic groups into the 1-carboxyl group of shikimic acid is benifit for enhancing the drug resistance reversal effect of derivative .
