ObjectiveTo analyze the impact of maternal postpartum depression (PPD) at 2 months postpartum on caregiving for infants aged2 to 24 months, and to provide a scientific basis for future maternal and infant healthcare services. MethodsBased on the Shanghai Maternal-Child Pairs Cohort, 1 060 mother-child pairs were selected from those fully participating in follow-up visits at 2, 6, 12, and 24 months postpartum. Pregnancy and childbirth-related information was collected using standardized questionnaire surveys and hospital obstetric and maternity records. The Edinburgh postpartum depression scale was used to assess the maternal postpartum depressive symptoms at 2 months postpartum. At 2, 6, 12, and 24 months postpartum, questionnaire survey was used to evaluate the maternal responsiveness in caregiving and the provision of early learning opportunities for infants. Scores for responsive caregiving and early learning opportunities at 2, 6, 12, and 24 months were grouped based on the 25th percentile (P₂₅) of total scores. The mixed-effects model was used to analyze the longitudinal impact of maternal postpartum depression at 2 months on the caregiving of 2 to 24-month-old infants. ResultsThe longitudinal results from the mixed-effects model did not show an impact of maternal PPD on infant responsive caregiving within 12 months and early learning opportunities within24 months. However, cross-sectional analysis revealed that, compared to the non-PPD group, the risk of low responsive caregiving at 2 months in the PPD group was 93% higher (OR=1.931, 95%CI: 1.113‒3.364, P=0.019). The risks for low provision of early learning opportunities at2 months and 24 months increased by 59% (OR=1.589, 95%CI: 1.082‒2.324, P=0.017) and 60% (OR=1.598, 95%CI:1.120‒2.279, P=0.010), respectively. ConclusionMaternal postpartum depression increases the risk of low responsive caregiving at 2 months, but its long-term effects warrant further research.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the ameliorative effect of ursolic acid on skin inflammation in rats with allergic contact dermatitis （ACD）， and explore its mechanism of action based on the Notch1/hairy and enhancer of split 1 （Hes1） signaling pathway. METHODS The ACD model was established by skin application of 2， 4-dinitrochlorobenzene. Forty successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into model control group （MC group）， ursolic acid low-dose group （UA-L group， 50 mg/kg）， ursolic acid high-dose group （UA-H group， 100 mg/kg）， and ursolic acid high-dose+Notch1 activator group （UA-H+Jagged1 group， 100 mg/kg ursolic acid+50 ng/kg Jagged1）， with 10 rats in each group. Another 10 rats with only hair shedding were selected as the normal control group. Rats in the administration groups were given the corresponding dose of ursolic acid intragastrically or/and Jagged1 by intraperitoneal injection once a day for 14 consecutive days. Twenty-four hours after the last treatment， the skin inflammation status and dermatitis scores of rats in each group were detected. The levels of interleukin-6 （IL-6）， IL-17 and IL-10 in serum and skin tissue were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to detect the pathological morphology of the skin tissue. Immunohistochemical staining and immunoblotting assay were used to detect the protein expressions of Notch1 and Hes1 in skin tissues. RESULTS Compared with the MC group， both the UA-L group and UA-H group exhibited significantly lower dermatitis scores， along with varying degrees of reduction in histopathological skin damage such as inflammatory cell infiltration. Additionally， the levels of IL-6 and IL-17 in serum and skin tissues were markedly decreased， while the levels of IL-10 were significantly increased in both groups； protein expressions of Notch1 and Hes1 were decreased significantly （P＜0.05）， and the improvements in the aforementioned indicators were more significant in the UA-H group （P＜0.05）. Jagged1 could significantly weaken the improvement effects of UA-H on the above indicators （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Ursolic acid may attenuate the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and enhance the expression of anti-inflammatory factors by blocking Notch1/Hes1 signaling pathway， thereby improving dermatitis symptoms in ACD rats.

Objective:To explore the potential of integrating virtual surgery with three-dimensional (3D) printed guides in the surgical management of mandibular benign tumors and subsequent reconstruction of bone defects.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of patients who underwent computer-assisted resection and vascularized fibular flap reconstruction for benign mandibular tumors at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, from June 2013 to December 2020. According to the utilization of guide plates for mandibular and fibular osteotomy during surgical procedures or not, the patients were categorized into two cohorts: a guide plate cohort and a non-guide plate cohort. In the guide plate group, custom-designed gudie plates based on virtual surgical plans were fabricated using 3D printing technology and employed intraoperatively; In the non-guide plate group, surgery was exclusively performed based on virtual surgical plan and prebent titanium plate without any supplementary plating. The measured outcomes included fibular flap osteotomy, operation duration, and clinical flap survival. Computed tomography images obtained one week post-surgery were utilized to assess the intersegmental commissure degree between fibular segments as well as between fibular segments and mandible, commissure degree between fibular segments and prebent titanium plate, and condyle position. The satisfaction of patients with their facial appearance was evaluated 6 months after the surgery using a visual analogue scale. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 21.0 software. Independent sample t-tests was utilized to compare the duration of operation and and postoperative evaluation of facial appearance, the Chi-square tests was utilized for condyle position, commissure degrees among interactions involving fibular segments, prebent titanium plates, bone segments( P<0.05 denoted statistical significance). Results:A total of 30 patients were enrolled, comprising 17 males and 13 females, with a median age of 24 years (16-64 years). The preparation process of fibular flaps proceeded smoothly. The required length of fibula was measured as (14.1 ± 1.9) cm (5.7-18.1 cm), while the number of fibular segments ranged from 2 to 4, averaging at approximately 2.9 ± 0.6. The mandibular defects were repaired using a single-layer fibula in 12 cases, a vascularized folded fibula in 7 cases and a combination of vascularized and non-vascularized fibula in 11 cases. The operation time for the guide plate group was recorded as ( 335.9 ± 64.0) min (240-433 min), while it was observed to be (470.7 ± 140.5 ) min (280-680 min) for the non-guide plate group.The postoperative follow-up duration ranged from 9 to 23 months, with an average period of 11 months. All fibular flaps demonstrated clinical survival. The number of patients with good commissure degree between fibular and mandibular segments, between prebent titanium plate and fibular and mandibular segments and the position of condyle were 15, 15 and 13 cases in guide plate group, 10, 13 and 11 cases in non-guide plate group respectively. The statistical analysis revealed a significant difference ( P<0.05) in the degree of commissure between the fibular and the mandibular segments (15/15 vs. 10/15) in the two groups. Both groups exhibited high levels of satisfaction regarding their postoperative facial appearance at the 6 months follow-up, observed to be 9.6±0.5 and 9.3±0.5 respectively, and the statisticla analysis revealed non-significant difference ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The integration of virtual surgery with 3D printed guide plates can effectively reduce operative time and improve precision in the repair and reconstruction of free-fibular flaps following resection of benign tumors of the mandible.

Orthodontic treatment mainly improves oral function and achieves treatment goals by applying mechanical force to the jaw-bone and teeth.However,oral pain is the most common symptom experienced by patients during the diagnosis and treatment process.It is usually caused by sustained application of orthodontic mechanical force,but its mechanism is not fully understood,posing a signifi-cant clinical challenge.In recent years,a protein called TACAN has been discovered to play a crucial regulatory role in the occurrence and development of pain,offering a potential therapeutic target for addressing mechanical pain in the future.Since research on TACAN is still unclear,its specific mechanism requires further elucidation and verification.This article systematically reviews the research pro-gress of TACAN's involvement in the modulation of mechanical pain,summarizes the specific functions of TACAN,and provides new perspectives for further research on TACAN.

Objective:To analyze the clinical features of children with refractory N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antibody encephalitis treated with tocilizumab.Methods:Demographic and clinical manifeatations, immunotherapy and prognosis data of 9 children with refractory NMDA receptor antibody encephalitis who received tocilizumab in the Department of Pediatrics Neurology, XiangYa Hospital of Central South University from August 2021 to September 2023 were collected retrospectively. Prognosis was evaluated using the modified Rankin scale at initial diagnosis, at the initiation of tocilizumab treatment, and at the last follow-up. Treatment related complications, neuroimaging, and electroencephalography data were analyzed.Results:Among the 9 children, 6 were male and 3 were female, with an onset age of 4.2 (2.8, 8.7) years. At the onset of the disease, 9 children had a modified Rankin scale score of 5. When tocilizumab treatment was initiated, 7 children had a score of 5, and 2 children had a score of 4. The interval between the onset and initiation of tocilizumab treatment was 12 (5, 27) months, and the treatment frequency was 8 (5, 13) times. The follow-up time was 2.8 (1.5, 3.7) years. At the last follow-up, the symptoms of 9 children, including movement disorder, sleep disorder, consciousness disorder, silence and autonomic dysfunction, were improved to varying degrees, and none of them had seizures. At the last follow-up, 4 cases with a modified Rankin scale score of 0, 1 case with a score of 1, 2 cases with a score of 3, 1 case with a score of 4 and 1 case with a score of 5. The modified Rankin scale at the last follow-up was significantly different from that at the start of tocilizumab ( Z=-2.56, P=0.014). All children had no serious adverse reactions during the treatment. Conclusions:After treatment with tocilizumab, the symptoms in patients with refractory NMDA receptor antibody encephalitis, including movement disorder, sleep disorder, consciousness disorder, silence and autonomic dysfunction were improved, and none of them had seizures. The modified Rankin scale were improved, and the safety was good.
