BACKGROUND:In most species,a bone defect that is longer than 1.5 or 2 times its diameter can be considered a critical bone defect,and when the bone defect volume reaches the critical value,it cannot heal on its own.Currently,there is no uniform standard for the size of critical-sized defects in the osteoporotic femoral condyle of rabbits.OBJECTIVE:To establish a rabbit model with different sizes of bone defects in the osteoporotic femoral condyle and to determine the critical-sized defects of osteoporotic femoral condyle in rabbits.METHODS:Thirty-six 3-month-old female New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into ovariectomy group(n=30)and sham operation group(n=6).Rabbits in the ovariectomy group underwent bilateral ovariectomy to establish an osteoporosis model,and then femoral condyle bone defect models of different diameters(diameters were 4,5,6,and 7 mm,and depths were 8 mm)were further established;rabbits in the sham operation group did not undergo ovariectomy.At 8 and 12 weeks after modeling,3 rats were randomly selected from each group for CT scanning and three-dimensional reconstruction to evaluate the healing of bone defects.Afterwards,samples were taken for gross observation and hematoxylin-eosin staining to observe the growth of new bone in the femoral condyle bone defect area.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)All rabbits survived and moved well after modeling of osteoporosis and femoral condyle bone defect.(2)At 12 weeks after osteoporosis modeling,dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry results showed that the bone mineral density of lumbar vertebrae in ovariectomy group was significantly lower than that in sham operation group(P<0.05).Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that the bone trabeculae in the ovariectomy group became thinner and sparse.The proportion of bone tissue area in the ovariectomy group was significantly lower than that in the sham operation group(P=0.00).Micro-CT results showed that the bone tissue parameters of the femoral condyle in the ovariectomy group were significantly different from those in the sham operation group(P<0.05),and the ovariectomy group showed obvious characteristics of osteoporosis.(3)CT showed that the bone defect in the 4 mm and 5 mm diameter groups was basically completely repaired at 12 weeks after surgery.There was more new bone tissue in the 6 mm diameter group,but the central part of the bone defect was not completely repaired.A small amount of new bone tissue grew in the 7 mm diameter group,and the bone defect was obvious.(4)Gross observation at 12 weeks after surgery showed that the femoral condyle bone defect in the 4 mm and 5 mm diameter groups was completely repaired.Obvious depression was seen in the bone defect area of the 6 mm and 7 mm diameter groups,and the bone defect was not completely repaired.(5)Histological observation at 12 weeks after surgery showed that the bone defect area of the 4 mm and 5 mm diameter groups was completely filled with new bone,and the trabecular structure was irregular;while there were new trabeculae in the periphery of the 6 mm and 7 mm diameter groups,and the bone defect in the central area was still obvious.(6)The results showed that during the 12-week experimental observation period of osteoporotic femoral condyle defects in rabbits,under the condition of the same defect depth of 8 mm,femoral condyle defects with a diameter ≥ 6 mm could not heal on their own,while femoral condyle defects with a diameter<6 mm were completely repaired.A diameter of 6 mm and a depth of 8 mm can be used as the critical bone defect value of osteoporotic femoral condyle in rabbits.

5.Study on the Expression Levels of Serum sCD73 and miR-124a in Patients with Acute Septic Shock and Their Predictive Value for 28-day Prognosis
Journal of Modern Laboratory Medicine 2025;40(1):94-98
Objective To investigate the relationship between soluble CD73(sCD73) and miRNA(miR)-124a expression level and the severity of acute septic shock and its predictive value for 28 days. Methods A prospective analysis was conducted on 109 patients with acute septic shock admitted to the Third People's Hospital of Chengdu from June 2021 to December 2023. These patients were divided into a survival group (n=87) and a death group (n=22) based on their 28-day prognosis. The clinical data,serum sCD73,miR-124a levels of the two groups were compared,Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between sCD73,miR-124a and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation system Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ),sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA),C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT). The predictive value of sCD73 and miR-124a for prognosis was analyzed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis,and the interaction between sCD73 and miR-124a in the prognosis of patients with acute septic shock was analyzed using the interaction coefficient γ. Results The age,APACHE Ⅱ,SOFA score,CRP and PCT levels of the death group were higher than that of the survival group(t=4.485~14.147),and the duration of mechanical ventilation was longer than that of the survival group(t=7.215),with statistically significant differences (all P<0.001),respectively. Serum sCD73(3.69±1.12 μg/L) levels were lower in the death group than in the survival group(6.42±2.38 μg/L),and miR-124a (3.31±0.70) was higher than in the survival group(2.63±0.52),and the differences were statistically significant (t=5.222,5.089,all P<0.001). Serum sCD73 and APACHE Ⅱ,SOFA score,CRP and PCT was negatively correlated (r=-0.712~-0.649,all P<0.001),miR-124a and APACHE Ⅱ,SOFA score,CRP and PCT was positively correlated (r=0.643~0.728,all P<0.001). Serum sCD73,miR-124a was significantly correlated with the prognosis of patients with acute septic shock after 28 days of treatment (partial correlation coefficient-0.882,0.896,all P<0.001). The AUC(95%CI) of serum sCD73 and miR-124a for predicting the prognosis of 28-day treatment were 0.765 (0.674~0.841) and 0.754 (0.662~0.831),respectively. The AUC(95%CI) of the combined prediction of 28-day treatment prognosis was 0.916 (0.847~0.960),which was greater than that of the single indicator,and the differences were statistically significant (Z=4.352,4.221,all P<0.001). Low expression of sCD73 and high expression of miR-124a showed a positive interaction in the 28-day mortality risk of patients with acute septic shock (OR=6.668,95%CI:1.245~35.714,γ=1.133,P<0.024). Conclusion Low sCD73 expression and high miR-124a expression positively interacted with each other in the risk of death at 28-day in patients with acute septic shock,and the combined assay is informative for prognostic prediction.

Objective:To address the critical issue of missing dynamic border molding information in edentulous direct digital impression technology, this study explores innovative digital solutions and conducts preliminary application validation.Methods:Based on the myostatic line theory, a methodology was established: intraoral scanner (IOS) high-frequency video was utilized to dynamically capture functional molding data of soft tissues, integrated with a self-developed mobility gradient recognition algorithm to achieve dynamic threshold segmentation between the muscle dynamic zone and myostatic zone, termed "optical digital molding technology". Ten edentulous patients with well-fitting complete dentures, treated at the Department of Prosthodontics, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from January 2024 to December 2024, were enrolled. The standard deviation between the muscle static line (generated by mobility gradient algorithm with thresholds of 0.3-0.7 mm) and the denture border curve was analyzed to optimize the dynamic threshold, followed by single-case clinical validation.Results:Among the mobility thresholds of 0.3-0.7 mm, the 0.5 mm threshold yielded the smallest standard deviation between the myostatic line and denture border. Clinical validation demonstrated that dentures designed with this threshold exhibited no displacement during dynamic functional tests, with marginal sealing meeting clinical standards.Conclusions:The optical digital border molding technique for edentulous soft tissue boundaries translates the myostatic line theory into quantifiable parameters for the first time. Based on data from 10 cases, a mobility threshold of 0.5 mm is recommended for clinical application.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the non-genetic risk factors for severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs) related to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) in HLA-B*15:02 negative patients, and provide a basis for clinical precision medication. METHODS A retrospective case-control design was used to include patients who underwent HLA-B*15:02 testing at our hospital from January 2022 to December 2024. Patients were divided into SCARs group (15 cases who were HLA-B*15:02 negative and diagnosed with SCARs) and control group (38 cases who were HLA-B*15:02 negative and used AEDs). Risk factors were evaluated using univariate analysis and a multivariable Firth penalty likelihood logistic regression model (Firth regression), and Benjamin-Hochberg false discovery rate (FDR) and Firth regression were used for correction, and sensitivity analysis was used to quantify the impact of potential biases in carbamazepine exposure rates in the control group on the results. RESULTS Univariate analysis showed that age≥50 years, use of carbamazepine, and combination use of antibiotics/antiviral drugs were risk factors for developing AEDs- related SCARs (OR=18.15, 7.54, 13.46, 95%CI of 4.13-79.84, 1.89-30.08, 1.36-133.18, all P<0.05), while taking lamotrigine was a protective factor [OR=0.10, 95%CI of 0.02-0.39, P<0.05]. After FDR correction, the above factors still maintained statistical significance (P<0.05). The results of multivariate analysis showed that age≥50 years [adjusted OR=16.27, 95%CI of 3.98-66.55, P<0.001] and taking carbamazepine [adjusted OR=7.11, 95%CI of 1.82-27.85, P=0.005] were independent risk factors for the occurrence of SCARs-related AEDs. The results of sensitivity analysis showed that the adjusted risk OR range for taking carbamazepine was between 14.2 and 28.4. CONCLUSIONS Age≥50 years and use of carbamazepine are independent non- genetic risk factors for the development of SCARs-related AEDs in HLA-B*15:02 negative patients. It is recommended that elderly patients should prioritize the use of AEDs other than carbamazepine.
