Objective:To evaluate the alveolar ridge preservation effect of immediate implantation at extraction site with the im-proved CBCT measuring method.Methods:Eighty patients with extraction site were divided into test group A,B,C and control group.The patients were treated by means of immediate implant placement combined with large flap surgery,guided bone regener-ation(GBR)using mass Bio-Oss bone particles in the group A(the thickness of facial bone wall＜1 mm);The patients were trea-ted by means of immediate implant placement combined without flap surgery and bone graft in the group B(the thickness of facial bone wall ≥1 mm and＜2 mm)and C(the thickness of facial bone wall ≥2 mm),the CGF was implanted in the jumping space only when the thickness of jumping space was＞2 mm.In the control group,the alveolar sockets healed naturally without any in-tervention or treatment.CBCT was taken before surgery,immediately after surgery,and 6 months after surgery to evaluate the height and width of alveolar bone,the thickness of facial bone wall and jumping space.Results:The reduction of alveolar ridge height in group A,B,C and control group was(0.41±0.13,0.94±0.18,0.59±0.12,1.31±0.19)mm,The reduction of alveolar ridge width in group A,B,C and control group was(0.93±0.10,1.48±0.21,1.12±0.17,1.66±0.16)mum.The re-sults of four groups were statistically different(F=177.0,P＜0.001;F=125.3,P＜0.001).The alveolar ridge thickness of facial bone wall in group A,B,C and con-trol group was(0.98±0.25,2.39±0.28)mm,(1.43±0.52,2.10±0.33)mm,(2.17±0.41,2.79±0.27)mm before surgery and six months after immediate implantation.The results of each group were statistically different between before surgery and six months after immediate implantation(t=16.45,P＜0.001;t=7.357,P＜0.001;t=5.488,P＜0.001).Patients in three test groups had the thickness of jumping space＞2 mm and ≤2 mm,and the reduction of alveolar ridge width was(0.78±0.18,0.88±0.17)mm.The results were statistically different(t=17.18,P=0.018).Conclusion:The alveolar ridge preservation was obtained by means of immediate implant placement combined with large flap surgery,guided bone regeneration(GBR)using mass Bio-Oss bone particles at extraction site with the thickness of facial bone wall＜1 mm;The alveolar ridge preservation was obtained without flap surgery and GBR at extraction site with the thickness of facial bone wall≥1 mm.The preservation of soft and hard tissue was better in the axial palatal side of immediate implantation with the thickness of jumping space＞2 mm than that with the thickness of jumping space≤2 mm.

Objective:To construct fused cancer cell/neutrophil membrane-coated polydopamine nanoparticles chelated with manganese ions (Ⅱ) (PMNP@FMs) and explore the potential for targeted pancreatic cancer fluorescence imaging and MRI.Methods:Cancer cell membranes fused with neutrophil membranes were encapsulated on the surface of polydopamine nanoparticles chelated with manganese ions (Ⅱ) (PMNPs) to prepare PMNP@FMs. The morphology, structure, and MRI performance of the product were characterized. The cytotoxicity of PMNP@FMs towards human pancreatic cancer cells (PANC-1) and normal human pancreatic ductal epithelial cells (hTERT-HPNE) was evaluated using cell counting kit (CCK)-8, and in vivo toxicity was assessed in healthy mice. PANC-1 pancreatic cancer xenograft nude mouse models were established for in vivo fluorescence imaging and MRI. Data were analyzed using the independent-sample t test, repeated measures analysis of variance and the least significance difference method. Results:PMNP@FMs exhibited a core-shell structure with a diameter of (112.81±8.64) nm, negative surface charge, and good dispersibility. The T 1 relaxivity of PMNPs was 18.81±0.22, which was 4.1 times higher than that of gadopentetate dimeglumine (Gd-DTPA) (4.55±0.24; t=75.54, P<0.001). Co-culture of PMNPs and PMNP@FMs with hTERT-HPNE and PANC-1 cells for 24 h resulted in cell viability above 90% within the concentration range of 0-500 μg/ml. PMNP@FMs did not affect mouse survival and showed no apparent organ damage. In vivo fluorescence imaging and MRI revealed that PMNP@FMs accumulated highly in tumors and reached the peak 24 h post intravenous administration (relative MR signal: 1.35±0.01, fluorescence intensity: (1.20±0.25)×10 10), surpassing the peak observed in the control group (1.22±0.01, (3.87±0.50)×10 9;F values: 11.03-188.01, t values: 18.20, 5.64, all P<0.05), with hepatic metabolism being the primary route of clearance. Conclusion:PMNP@FMs demonstrate a potential for targeted pancreatic cancer fluorescence imaging and MRI, offering promising prospect for precise diagnosis of early-stage pancreatic cancer.

Objective:To explore the effects of different feeding patterns on weight gain and feeding intolerance in hospitalized premature infants.Methods:The retrospective cohort study design was adopted. From April 2019 to October 2020, 155 premature infants admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of China-Japan Friendship Hospital were selected as the study subject by convenience sampling. Premature infants were divided into a mixed feeding group ( n=47) and a formula milk feeding group ( n=108) based on their feeding patterns. The observation indicators included weight gain, feeding intolerance, infectious diseases, nutrition and other related indicators. Results:The weight change value and the weight change rate during hospitalization in the mixed feeding group were higher than those in the formula milk feeding group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05) . In terms of the total milk volume on the day of discharge, the mixed feeding group were higher than the formula milk feeding group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . During hospitalization, the number of new infectious diseases in the mixed feeding group was less than that in the formula milk feeding group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05) . There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of feeding intolerance between the two groups of premature infants ( P>0.05) , The incidence of vomiting in the formula milk feeding group was lower than that in the mixed feeding group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Mixed feeding is more conducive to promoting the weight gain of premature infants during hospitalization and reducing the occurrence of infectious diseases than formula milk feeding. The impact of two feeding patterns on feeding intolerance in hospitalized premature infants needs further comparative analysis.

ObjectiveTo explore the characteristics of tongue manifestations and traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndromes in patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome （pSS） of different time. MethodpSS patients who visited TCM Department of Rheumatism in China-Japan Friendship Hospital from December 2018 to October 2021 were included and grouped according to the disease courses （short<5 years， medium 5-10 years， long > 10 years）. Chi-square test was used for comparison between three groups and Bonferroni method for multiple comparisons. In the pairwise comparison， P<0.017 indicated significant difference. Chi-square test was performed on the syndrome and specific tongue manifestations with inter-group differences to analyze the trend of tongue manifestations and TCM syndromes over time （interval： two years）. ResultA total of 193 pSS patients were enrolled， with 85 （44.0%） of short disease course， 69 （35.8%） of medium disease course， and 39 （20.2%） of long disease course. The common tongue manifestations were crimson tongue， fissured tongue， thin tongue， lack of fluid， and dry coating， which showed no significant difference among the three groups. Higher proportion of patients with light red tongue was observed in the group with short disease course than in group with medium disease course （χ²=6.407， P<0.017）. Higher proportions of patients with thick coating （χ²=6.784， P<0.017） and phlegm-dampness syndrome （χ²=11.545， P<0.017） and lower proportion of patients with Qi deficiency syndrome （χ²=12.706， P<0.017） were found in the group with short disease course than in the group with long disease course. Patients with medium （χ²=6.358， P<0.017） and long （χ²=8.279， P<0.017） disease course tended to have exfoliated coating compared with those with short disease course， and the proportion of patients with exfoliated coating rose and the proportion of patients with thick greasy coating decreased over time （P_trend<0.05）. In addition， the proportion of patients with phlegm-dampness syndrome decreased and that with Qi deficiency syndrome increased over time （P_trend<0.05）. ConclusionIn the early stage， patients with pSS often show both dryness and dampness， as manifested by the thick greasy coating and phlegm-dampness syndrome. In the medium and late stage， patients often have Qi-Yin deficiency， as evidenced by exfoliated coating and Qi deficiency. In the clinical practice， medicines should be prescribed based on tongue manifestations and TCM syndrome of patients.

ObjectiveTo summarize the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome in primary Sjögren's syndrome （pSS） patients with interstitial lung disease （ILD） and to explore associated factors. MethodA survey was conducted and pSS patients who were treated in TCM department of rheumatism at China-Japan Friendship Hospital from December 2018 to April 2022 were included. Tongue manifestations and syndromes of patients were recorded. pSS patients with ILD were classified into the pSS-ILD group and those without the ILD were included in the pSS-non-ILD group. The tongue manifestations， syndromes， and laboratory indexes were compared between the two groups， and logistic regression was used to explore the factors associated with pSS-ILD. ResultA total of 200 pSS patients were included， with 186 （93.0%） females， median age of 57 years， and median disease course of 60 months， of which 44 （22%） had pSS-ILD. In terms of tongue manifestations， pSS-ILD patients generally had dark/purple/stasis tongue， fissured tongue， and tongue with little fluid， thick coating， yellow coating， and greasy coating. The proportion patients with yellow coating was higher in pSS-ILD group than in the pSS-non-ILD group （χ²=4.799，P<0.05）. In terms of syndrome， more than 40% of pSS-ILD patients had Qi deficiency， Yin deficiency， phlegm-dampness， Qi stagnation， and/or blood stasis syndrome. As for Yin deficiency， liver-kidney Yin deficiency syndrome ranked the first. For Qi deficiency， lung Qi deficiency syndrome was most commonly seen. The proportion of patients with lung Qi deficiency was higher in the pSS-ILD group than in the pSS-non-ILD group （χ²=18.667，P<0.01）. As to laboratory indexes， compared with the pSS-non-ILD group， pSS-ILD group had high proportion of anti-SSA-positive patients （P<0.05） and high levels of C-reactive protein （CRP） （P<0.01）， complement C3 （χ²=4.332，P<0.05）， and complement C4 （P<0.05）. Logistic regression analysis showed that pSS with ILD was positively associated with lung Qi deficiency ［odds ratio （OR）=6.079， 95% confidence interval （CI） 2.585-14.298， P<0.01）］ and yellow coating （OR=5.260， 95% CI 1.337-20.692， P<0.05） and negatively associated with low C4 （OR=0.199， 95% CI 0.070-0.564， P<0.01）. ConclusionAbout 22% of pSS patients had ILD， and patients with pSS-ILD generally have Qi deficiency， Yin deficiency， phlegm-dampness， Qi stagnation， and/or blood stasis syndrome. Yellow coating， lung Qi deficiency and C4 level are factors associated with pSS combined with ILD.

Objective:To explore the quality of life (QOL) and the related influencing factors of patients with early esophageal cancer after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).Methods:A questionnaire survey was conducted in 167 early esophageal cancer patients who underwent ESD in Shanxi Province Cancer Hospital from January 2022 to July 2022. European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Assessment Core Scale (EORTC QLQ-C30) and the Esophageal Cancer Supplementary Scale (EORTC QLQ-OES18) were used to compare QOL of patients with different clinical characteristics before surgery, 1 month after surgery and 6 months after surgery, And multiple logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of patients' QOL at 6 months after surgery.Results:EORTC QLQ-C30 showed that the scores of the patients' physical function, role function, and social function at 1 month and 6 months after surgery were lower than those before surgery, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The scores of dyspnea, constipation, nausea and vomiting, fatigue, and economic status in the symptom area were higher than those before surgery, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). According to EORTC QLQ-OES18, the scores of difficulty in swallowing oral fluid, obstruction, poor eating initiative, dry mouth, and cough at 1 month and 6 months after surgery were higher than those before surgery, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The score of dysphagia at 1 month after surgery was higher than that before surgery, while the score at 6 months after surgery was lower than that before surgery, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The score of dyspepsia at 1 month and 6 months after surgery was lower than that before surgery, and the difference was statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the lesion perimeter >1/2 perimeter (lesion perimeter >1/2 perimeter vs. lesion perimeter ≤ 1/2 perimeter: OR = 2.072, 95% CI 1.536-2.796, P < 0.05) and postoperative esophageal stricture dilatation (undergoing esophageal stricture dilatation or not: OR = 2.193, 95% CI 1.429-2.789, P < 0.05) were independent risk factors affecting the QOL of patients at 6 months after surgery. Conclusions:The QOL of early esophageal cancer patients after ESD is decreased compared with that before surgery, and the main manifestations include physical function, role function, social function, and symptom. The area of lesion and undergoing esophageal stricture dilatation or not are factors affecting the QOL of patients after surgery.

【Objective:】 To understand the current situation and influencing factors of ethical knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) among clinical researchers, enhance their ethical awareness, and improve the quality of clinical researches. 【Methods:】 A self-designed questionnaire was used to conduct a convenient sampling survey of medical staff who have participated in clinical study. 【Results:】 A total of 6,021 subjects were investigated, with males accounting for 28.46% and females accounting for 71.53%. The average age of them was (37.47±11.46) years old. The total score of ethics and the mean scores of the three dimensions of knowledge, attitude and practice were (70.62±12.99), (59.63±12.50), (79.55±19.62) and (74.92±18.29), respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that researchers with male, tertiary hospitals, doctors, ethics-related part-time jobs, postgraduate education, associate senior title or above, and training experience scored higher (P<0.05). 【Conclusion:】 Ethical attitudes have a significant mediating effect between knowledge and practice, accounting for 62.72% of the total effect. Researchers recognize the importance of ethics, but it is urgent to strengthen their knowledge learning and practical application.

Objective::This study aimed to determine the likelihood of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in subsequent pregnancy among women without GDM history and to identify risk factors for GDM in subsequent pregnancy.Methods::This retrospective cohort study involved participants who delivered twice in same hospital of 18 research centers when delivered the second baby from January 2018 to December 2018. Finally 6204 women were enrolled and 5180 women without GDM history were analyzed further. Women were categorized as non-GDM or GDM based on the blood glucose values of the subsequent pregnancy, and the characteristics and GDM risk of these groups were compared. A univariate analysis of potential risk factors was performed using the Chi-squared test and/or t-test for qualitative or quantitative variables, respectively. Associations with P values <0.1 were chosen to be included in the multivariate binary logistic regression model. Results::In primary analysis of 6204 women, the incidence of GDM in subsequent pregnancy is 48.9% (490/1002) in women with GDM history and 16.1% (835/5202) in women without GDM history. In a further analysis for 5180 women without GDM at index pregnancy, compared with the non-GDM group, the GDM group had a significantly higher age, prepregnancy body mass index, and blood glucose value at each oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) timepoint (fasting, 1 h and 2 h) during the index and subsequent pregnancies, as well as higher weight retention during the interval between the two pregnancies ( P<0.001). Age above 35 years in subsequent pregnancy (odds ratio ( OR)=1.540, 95% confidence interval ( CI) = 1.257-1.886, P<0.001), macrosomia in index pregnancy ( OR=1.749, 95% CI=1.277-2.395, P=0.001), OGTT blood glucose values in index pregnancy (fasting, OR=2.487, 95% CI=1.883-3.285, P<0.001; 1 h, OR=1.142, 95% CI=1.051-1.241, P=0.002; 2 h, OR=1.290, 95% CI=1.162-1.432, P<0.001) and weight retention ( OR=1.052, 95% CI=1.035-1.068, P<0.001) were independent risk factors for GDM in subsequent pregnancy. Conclusion::For women without GDM history, GDM risk factors including age, macrosomia history, OGTT value, and weight retention, these can be evaluated before a subsequent pregnancy. Early warning and interventions are needed for women at high risk.
