BackgroundMonitoring the blood concentrations of antipsychotic drugs and their metabolites can guide the adjustment of clinical treatment plans， improving therapeutic efficacy while reducing adverse effects. However， there is currently a lack of a method that can accurately and efficiently quantitatively detect multiple antipsychotic drugs and their metabolites. ObjectiveTo establish a ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry （UPLC-MS/MS） method for the simultaneous identification and quantitation of 12 antipsychotic drugs and their main metabolites in human serum. MethodsUsing UPLC-MS/MS technology， protein precipitation method was employed for sample pretreatment. An Agela Technologies Durashell C₈ chromatographic column （50 mm×3.0 mm， 5 μm） was selected for chromatographic separation with gradient elution. The flow rate was 0.4 mL/min， and the total analysis time was 5 minutes. The column temperature was 40℃. The mass spectrometry detection was carried out in the multiple reaction monitoring （MRM） mode， and the isotope internal standard method was used for quantification. ResultsThe relative standard deviation （RSD） of the internal standard normalization matrix effect factor for 12 antipsychotic drugs and their main metabolites at low and high quality concentrations was all less than 15%. The extraction recovery rate was 85% to 115%. They showed good linear relationships within their respective standard curve ranges （r>0.995）. At low， medium， and high quality concentrations， the accuracy was 85.24% to 114.71%， and the RSD of intra-batch and inter-batch precision was all ≤14.15%， with good stability. ConclusionAll the analytical performance indicators of this method meet the verification requirements， providing an analytical means for the quantitative detection of antipsychotic drugs and their main metabolites in human serum. ［Funded by The Third Batch of Science and Technology Projects in Chaozhou City in 2023 （number， 202303GY02）］

Objective To evaluate the impact of bonded provisional restorations after bone augmentation for single-tooth implantation in the aesthetic zone on the surrounding soft tissues and patient satisfaction,and to explore its clinical restoration effect.Methods Thirty patients who underwent single-tooth implantation in the aesthetic zone of the maxillary anterior teeth and simultaneous horizontal bone augmentation in the Department of Stomatology,the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from March 2022 to March 2024 were selected,patients were randomly divided into study group and control group,with 15 cases in each group,The study group used digital intraoral scanning technology and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing technology to fabricate personalized milled resin teeth,control group used traditional metal winged provisional bridges.After permanent restoration,the soft tissues were evaluated aesthetically,and the implant survival rate and the provisional restoration dropout rate,pink esthetic score(PES)were statistically analyzed.Patients were also asked to evaluate their satisfaction with the clinical effect of the provisional restoration.Results At the end of the observation period,93.33％(28/30)of the provisional restorations remained.All 30 implant restorations in the aesthetic zone were successfully restored,with no early implant failure or bone augmentation failure requiring reoperation.The average total score of PES in study group was(10.00±1.55)points,while in control group was(9.13±1.81)points.The distribution of PES segments in both groups were mainly in the middle segment.The satisfaction evaluation scores of both groups of patients were relatively high,but the mean score of study group was higher,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05);The pronunciation,foreign body sensation,and color scores of patients in study group were higher than those in control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The clinical restoration effect of using adhesive temporary restorations after incremental single tooth bone implantation in the aesthetic area is good,with high patient's satisfaction,and personalized cutting resin temporary restorations are relatively better.

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of S100 cabinding protein A7(S100A7),insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1),and receptor for advanced glycation end products(RAGE)in type Ⅰ endometrial carcinoma(EC).Methods 60 patients with type 1 EC and 30 normal endometrial tissues were selected and analyzed by real-time fluorescent quantita-tive polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR).RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of S100A7,IGF-1 and RAGE mRNA in dif-ferent endometrial tissues.The protein expression of S100A7,IGF-1 and RAGE in 107 type Ⅰ EC tissues,24 cases endometrial tissues with atypical hyperplasia and 30 normal endometrial tissues were detected by immunohistochemical method.The correlation between the three and the clinicopathological characteristics of the patients was analyzed.Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the survival curve,and COX regression analysis was performed to analyze the factors affecting the survival and prognosis of patients.Results The expres-sions of S100A7,IGF-1 and RAGE mRNA in EC tissues were increased compared with normal endometrial tissues(P＜0.05).The positive rates of S100A7,IGF-1 and RAGE proteins increased with the progression of endometrial lesions,and there was a significant positive correlation among them(P＜0.05).For different International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics(FIGO)staging,pres-ence or absence of lymph node metastasis,and degree of tissue differentiation in type Ⅰ EC,The positive rates of S100A7,IGF-1 and RAGE were different(P＜0.05).Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the average survival time of patients with positive expres-sion of S100A7,IGF-1 and RAGE was lower.COX regression analysis showed that lymph node metastasis,high expression of S100A7,IGF-1 and RAGE were independent risk factors for prognosis of patients with type Ⅰ EC.Conclusion The increased expression levels of S100A7,IGF-1 and RAGE in type Ⅰ EC are closely associated with the emergence,progress and bleak prognosis of EC.
