With the growing emphasis on maternal and child oral health, the significance of managing oral health across preconception, pregnancy, and infancy stages has become increasingly apparent. Oral health challenges extend beyond affecting maternal well-being, exerting profound influences on fetal and neonatal oral development as well as immune system maturation. This expert consensus paper, developed using a modified Delphi method, reviews current research and provides recommendations on maternal and child oral health management. It underscores the critical role of comprehensive oral assessments prior to conception, diligent oral health management throughout pregnancy, and meticulous oral hygiene practices during infancy. Effective strategies should be seamlessly integrated across the life course, encompassing preconception oral assessments, systematic dental care during pregnancy, and routine infant oral hygiene. Collaborative efforts among pediatric dentists, maternal and child health workers, and obstetricians are crucial to improving outcomes and fostering clinical research, contributing to evidence-based health management strategies.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an idiopathic, relapsing, and etiologically complicated chronic inflammatory bowel disease. Despite substantial progress in the management of UC, the outcomes of mucosal barrier repair are unsatisfactory. In this study, phillygenin (PHI) treatment alleviated the symptoms of chronic colitis in mice, including body weight loss, severe disease activity index scores, colon shortening, splenomegaly, oxidative stress, and inflammatory response. In particular, PHI treatment ameliorated the tight junction proteins (TJs) reduction, fibrosis, apoptosis, and intestinal stem cell activity, indicating that PHI exerted beneficial effects on the intestinal mucosal barrier in mice with chronic colitis. In the NCM460 cells damage model, dextran sulfate sodium triggered the sequential induction of TJs reduction, fibrosis, and apoptosis. Takeda G protein-coupled receptor-5 (TGR5) dysfunction mediated NCM460 cell injury. Moreover, PHI treatment enhanced TJs and suppressed fibrosis and apoptosis to maintain NCM460 cell function, depending on TGR5 activation. PHI promoted TGR5 activation and elevated intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate levels in HEK 293T cells transfected with TGR5 expression plasmids. Cellular thermal shift assay and molecular docking studies confirmed that PHI directly binds to TGR5, indicating that PHI is an agonist of TGR5. The process of PERK-eIF2α pathway-mediated endoplasmic reticulum Ca²⁺ release was involved in NCM460 cell injury as well, which was associated with TGR5 dysfunction. When NCM460 cells were pretreated with PHI, the PERK-eIF2α pathway and elevated Ca²⁺ levels were blocked. In conclusion, our study demonstrated a novel mechanism that PHI inhibited the PERK-eIF2α-Ca²⁺ pathway through TGR5 activation to against DSS-induced TJs reduction, fibrosis, and apoptosis.

Objective To observe the effects of Daizong Prescription on glycogen metabolism in adipose tissue of obese mice;To explore its regulatory mechanism in activating browning in the white adipose tissue.Methods A obesity model was established by feeding high-fat diet to C57BL/6J mice.The obese mice were divided into model group,metformin group(0.15 g/kg),and Daizong Prescription low-(0.20 g/kg)and high-dosage(0.40 g/kg)groups.Mice fed a standard diet were set as the normal group,with 12 mice in each group.Each medication group was given corresponding drugs by gavage for 6 consecutive weeks.Body mass and fasting blood glucose were monitored,serum triglycerides(TG),total cholesterol(TC),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)contents were measured.Brown adipose tissue from the interscapular region and white adipose tissue from the inguinal,perirenal and epididymal region were collected,the adipose tissue mass was measured,and the body fat coefficient was calculated.HE staining was performed to observe morphological changes in adipose tissue,PAS staining was used to observe glycogen distribution in adipose tissue,immunohistochemistry staining was performed to detect the expressions of Gys2,Ppp1r3c,and GSK-3β in inguinal white adipose tissue.Results Compared with the normal group,the body mass and fasting blood glucose in different time points of the model group significant increase(P<0.05,P<0.01),and serum TC and HDL-C contents significantly increased(P<0.01);the mass and body fat coefficient of white adipose tissue in inguinal,perirenal,and epididymis significantly increased(P<0.01),the cells in white adipose tissue in inguinal were hypertrophic and appeared as large vacuoles,with less glycogen accumulation,the expressions of Gys2 and Ppp1r3c significantly decreased(P<0.01).Compared with the model group,the mice in Daizong Prescription high-dosage group showed a significant decrease in body mass and fasting blood glucose at 4 and 6 weeks of administration(P<0.05,P<0.01),and the contents of serum TG,TC,HDL-C,and LDL-C were significantly decreased(P<0.01);the mass and body fat coefficient in white adipose tissue of perirenal and epididymal significantly decreased(P<0.05,P<0.01),and the mass of inguinal white adipose tissue significantly decreased(P<0.05),multiple irregularly shaped small vacuoles could be seen in inguinal white adipose tissue,accompanied by nuclear aggregation and increased glycogen accumulation,the expressions of Gys2 and Ppp1r3c significantly increased(P<0.01).There was no significant difference in the expression of GSK-3β inguinal white adipose tissue of mice among the groups.Conclusion Daizong Prescription can increase the activity of Gys2 by upregulating the expression of Ppp1r3c,promote glycogen synthesis,induce browning of adipose tissue,increase fat heat production,and improve obesity and related disorders of glycolipid metabolism.

AIM: To evaluate the binocular visual function in high myopia patients after the implantation of implantable collamer lens(ICL)V4c.METHODS: A total of 35 cases(70 eyes)that received binocular ICL implantation at our hospital from May 2019 to May 2021 were enrolled in this prospective study. Binocular full-range visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, stereopsis, mesopic vision and glare sensitivity, and monocular wavefront and the quality of vision questionnaire were assessed before the surgery and at 1 mo postoperatively.RESULTS: At 1 mo postoperatively, 35 cases(100%)had binocular uncorrected distance visual acuity(UDVA)≤0.00(LogMAR), 16 cases(46%)had binocular UDVA≥preoperative corrected distance visual acuity(CDVA). Binocular UDVA and uncorrected intermediate visual acuity(UIVA,80 cm)were improved compared to preoperative CDVA and distance-corrected intermediate visual acuity(DCIVA,80 cm)(all P<0.05).While there were no differences in the binocular postoperative UIVA(60 cm)and preoperative DCIVA(60 cm),and uncorrected near visual acuity(UNVA,40 cm)and preoperative distance-corrected near visual acuity(DCNVA,40 cm)(all P>0.05). The binocular contrast sensitivity was significantly improved postoperatively(P=0.001), and the postoperative binocular mesopic vision, glare sensitivity(no glare/glare)and binocular stereopsis(5 m/40 cm)had no differences(all P>0.05). The postoperative total higher-order aberration, trefoil aberration, coma and spherical aberration were increased, besides the median of total coma in the right eye with a pupil diameter of 3.0 mm was decreased after surgery. The mean total score of quality of vision questionnaire was significantly increased from 54.87 preoperatively to 80.92 after implantation(P<0.05), with high satisfaction and no obvious visual disturbance in patients.CONCLUSION: Although the monocular high-order aberrations increased in the early stage after ICL V4c binocular implantation in patients with high myopia, the binocular visual function was improved.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the impact of sexual health education on the sexual quality of life, sexual satisfaction, anxiety, depression and the quality of life in breast cancer patients.Methods:A comprehensive search was conducted in Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, and SinoMed databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) exploring the effects of sexual health education on sexual quality of life, sexual satisfaction, anxiety, depression and quality of life in breast cancer patients. The search covered studies up until November 8, 2023. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the quality of the RCTs using the Cochrane Handbook 5.1.0 risk of bias tool. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 and R4.3.2 software.Results:A total of 17 articles with 1 695 patients were included. Sexual health education significantly improved sexual quality of life [ SMD=1.25, 95% CI (0.65, 1.84), P<0.05], sexual satisfaction [ SMD=0.85, 95% CI (0.53, 1.17), P<0.05], depression [ SMD=-1.16, 95% CI (-2.01, -0.30), P<0.05], and the quality of life [ SMD=1.53, 95% CI (0.09, 2.97), P<0.05] in breast cancer patients. However, the improvement in anxiety was not statistically significant [ SMD=-0.88, 95% CI (-2.06, 0.29), P<0.05] . Conclusions:Sexual health education can improve the sexual quality of life, sexual satisfaction, depression, and the quality of life in breast cancer patients. However, its impact on anxiety remains unclear, possibly due to the limited number of studies. Future RCTs should further explore the effect of sexual health education on anxiety in this population.

Objective To explore the effect of decoction of Euphorbia fischeriana Steud.and jujuba(DEFSJ)against estrogen receptor(ER)negative(-)and ER positive(+)breast cancer via the PI3k/Akt pathway,and to provide a reference for the targeted treatment of breast cancer.Methods DEFSJ extract was prepared and analyzed using UHPLC-Triple Quad.DEFSJ containing serum(CS)was prepared via a serum pharmacology method.Different concentrations of DEFSJ-CS were applied to(ER-)MDA-MB-453 and(ER+)MCF-7 breast cancer cells in vitro for 48 h.The distribution of cells in different stages of the cellular cycle was evaluated using a Flow cytometer.DNA ladder assay was used to assess the degree of apoptosis,and the expression of PI3k/Akt pathway-related proteins was evaluated by Western blot assay.The expression of FoxO3a,FoxOla,and Bim mRNA was detected by Real-time quantitative PCR.Nuclear transposition of FoxO3a protein was analysed using a confocal laser microscopy.Results Five batches of DEFSJ extract were analyzed using UPLC,and the result showed that the preparation technology was feasible and the quality was controllable,ensuring the accuracy of the pharmacological experiment result.DEFSJ-CS blocked cells in the G2/M phase(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Cells treated with DEFSJ-CS displayed the typical apoptotic ladder in the DNA ladder experiment.Compared with the negative control cells,the DEFSJ-CS group cells had decreased protein expression of p-PI3k,p-Akt,p-FoxO3a,and p-FoxO1a(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);increased protein expression of Bim(P＜0.05);decreased mRNA expression of FoxO3a and FoxO1a(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);increased mRNA expression of Bim(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);and enhanced nuclear translocation of FoxO3a protein.The data showed that DEFSJ-CS had a stronger effect on(ER-)MDA-MB-453 cells than(ER+)MCF-7 cells.Conclusions The regulatory effect of DEFSJ extract on anti-breast cancer involves the PI3k/Akt pathway,and the effect varies with phenotypic differences.

Objective:To understand the epidemiological characteristics of human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) among acute respiratory infection (ARI) cases in 16 provinces of China from 2009 to 2023.Methods:The data of this study were collected from the ARI surveillance data from 16 provinces in China from 2009 to 2023, with a total of 28 278 ARI cases included in the study. The clinical specimens from ARI cases were screened for HRSV nucleic acid from 2009 to 2023, and differences in virus detection rates among cases of different age groups, regions, and months were analyzed.Results:A total of 28 278 ARI cases were enrolled from January 2009 to September 2023. The age of the cases ranged from<1 month to 112 years, and the age M ( Q1, Q3) was 3 years (1 year, 9 years). Among them, 3 062 cases were positive for HRSV nucleic acid, with a total detection rate of 10.83%. From 2009 to 2019, the detection rate of HRSV was 9.33%, and the virus was mainly prevalent in winter and spring. During the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the detection rate of HRSV fluctuated between 6.32% and 18.67%. There was no traditional winter epidemic peak of HRSV from the end of 2022 to the beginning of 2023, and an anti-seasonal epidemic of HRSV occurred from April to May 2023. About 87.95% (2 693/3 062) of positive cases were children under 5 years old, and the difference in the detection rate of HRSV among different age groups was statistically significant ( P<0.001), showing a decreasing trend of HRSV detection rate with the increase of age ( P<0.001). Among them, the HRSV detection rate (25.69%) was highest in children under 6 months. Compared with 2009-2019, the ranking of HRSV detection rates in different age groups changed from high to low between 2020 and 2023, with the age M (Q1, Q3) of HRSV positive cases increasing from 1 year (6 months, 3 years) to 2 years (11 months, 3 years). Conclusion:Through 15 years of continuous HRSV surveillance analysis, children under 5 years old, especially infants under 6 months old, are the main high-risk population for HRSV infection. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the prevalence and patterns of HRSV in China have changed.

Objective To investigate the expression of long non-coding RNA(lncRNA)small nucleolar RNA host gene(SNHG)25 and microRNA(miR)-497-5p in glioma tissues and their relationship with clinical features and prognosis.Methods A total of 157 glioma patients admitted to the hospital from January 2019 to January 2020 were selected as the glioma group,and 100 patients who underwent surgical treatment due to craniocerebral injury in the same hospital during the same period were selected as the control group.The ex-pression levels of lncRNA SNHG25 and miR-497-5p were detected in glioma tissues and normal brain tissues resected during operation.The patients were followed up for 3 years.The correlation between the expression levels of lncRNA SNHG25 and miR-497-5p was analyzed,and the relationship between the expression level of lncRNA SNHG25 and miR-497-5p and the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients were analyzed.Re-sults Compared with the control group,the expression level of lncRNA SNHG25 in the glioma group was in-creased(P＜0.05),and the expression level of miR-497-5p was decreased(P＜0.05).Compared with the maximum diameter of tumors＜4 cm,World Health Organization(WHO)central nervous system tumor grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ,the expression level of lncRNA SNHG25 was increased and the expression level of miR-497-5p was decreased in glioma tissues with the maximum diameter of tumors ≥4 cm and WHO central nervous sys-tem tumor grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ(P＜0.05).The expression level of lncRNA SNHG25 in glioma patients was nega-tively correlated with miR-497-5p(r=-0.370,P＜0.05).The cumulative survival rate of lncRNA SNHG25 high expression group was lower than that of lncRNA SNHG25 low expression group(P＜0.05),and the cu-mulative survival rate of miR-497-5p low expression group was lower than that of miR-497-5p high expression group(P＜0.05).Grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ of WHO central nervous system tumor grade and high expression of lncRNA SNHG25 were risk factors for poor prognosis of glioma patients(P＜0.05),while high expression of miR-497-5p was a protective factor(P＜0.05).Conclusion The expression of lncRNA SNHG25 is increased and the expression of miR-497-5p is decreased in glioma tissues,which is related to the maximum diameter of tumor and high WHO central nervous system tumor grade,and can lead to poor prognosis of glioma patients.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of primary thyroid lymphoma (PTL) .Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical and pathological data of 34 newly diagnosed PTL patients admitted to Beijing Tongren Hospital from September 2010 to February 2023. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve and Log-rank test were used for survival analysis, and the Cox regression model was applied for univariate analysis of prognostic factors.Results:All 34 PTL patients presented with cervical mass as the initial clinical manifestation. There were 9 males and 25 females. The pathological diagnosis was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in 29 patients and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma in 5 patients. Among the DLBCL patients, 6 had B symptoms, 17 had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score of ≥2, the Ann Arbor staging was stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ in 21 cases and stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ in 8 cases, the tumor diameter was ≥10 cm in 4 cases, and 14 had concurrent Hashimoto thyroiditis; 27 cases received chemotherapy, with 21 cases achieving complete remission (CR), 2 cases partial remission (PR), and 6 cases of disease progression; the 5-year progression-free survival and overall survival rates were 78.9% and 77.4%, respectively; univariate survival analysis showed that B symptoms, tumor diameter ≥10 cm, and Ann Arbor stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ were significant factors affecting patient prognosis ( P<0.05). MALT lymphoma patients were all in stages Ⅰ-Ⅱ, had an ECOG score of 0-1, and were without B symptoms. All patients underwent surgical resection, with 4 cases achieving CR and 1 case PR. Conclusion:PTL is more common in females with concurrent Hashimoto thyroiditis, with the majority of pathological types being B-cell lymphoma. The main treatment is chemotherapy, supplemented by radiotherapy and surgery, and the prognosis is relatively favorable.
