AIM:To investigate the effect of apoptosis stimulation protein 2(ASPP2)on the development of traumatic proliferative vitreoretinopathy(PVR)in a rabbit model.METHODS:A total of 30 New Zealand white rabbits were selected, and the right eyes of all rabbits were inflicted with a scleral penetrating wound of approximately 6 mm. Then rabbits were randomly and evenly divided into experimental and control group. The experimental group received an intravitreal injection of 0.1 mL of ARPE-19 cell suspension transfected with lentivirus-ASPP2, while the control group received an intravitreal injection of 0.1 mL of ARPE-19 cell suspension transfected with negative control lentivirus. At 1, 2, 3, and 4 wk after PVR modeling, a handheld tonometer was used to measure the intraocular pressure. Moreover, fundus photography and ocular ultrasound examination were performed to detect the retinal proliferation. At 4 wk after modeling, hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the morphological retinal changes, and Western blot was used to determine the protein expressions of ASPP2 and the epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)marker Vimentin in the rabbit retinas.RESULTS:At 1, 2, 3, and 4 wk after modeling, there were no significant changes in intraocular pressure within the experimental and control group of rabbit eyes, either before or after PVR modeling, the success rate of PVR modeling in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05), and the retinal proliferation and structural disorder was less severe in the experimental group. At 4 wk after modeling, the retinal protein expression level of ASPP2 in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group(t=3.193, P=0.033), while the Vimentin protein expression level was significantly lower in the experimental group(t=-3.599, P=0.023).CONCLUSION:ASPP2 may be involved in regulating the process of EMT in retinal pigment epithelial cells, thereby delaying the development and progression of traumatic PVR in rabbit eyes.

Objective To investigate the association between the Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI) and diabetes mellitus, hypertension, diabetes mellitus or hypertension, and diabetes with hypertension among elderly people in Hebei Province. Methods In 2020, a stratified multi-stage random sampling was used to conduct questionnaire survey, physical examination and laboratory detection among permanent residents of 10 monitoring sites in Hebei Province. Logistic regression was used to analyze the association between CVAI and diabetes mellitus, hypertension, diabetes mellitus or hypertension, and diabetes with hypertension. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the predictive value of CVAI for diabetes mellitus, hypertension, diabetes mellitus or hypertension, and diabetes with hypertension. Results The detection rates of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, diabetes mellitus or hypertension, and diabetes with hypertension were 19.8%, 74.6%, 78.2%, and 16.2%, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with the lowest quartile of CVAI group Q1, the OR (95% CI) of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, diabetes mellitus or hypertension, and diabetes with hypertension in the highest quartile Q4 group were 3.55 (2.58~4.89), 2.52 (1.92~3.31), 3.09 (2.31~4.12), and 4.92 (3.40~7.12), respectively. The ROC curve results showed that CVAI had the best predictive value in the diagnosis of diabetes with hypertension, and the optimized critical values in males and females were 128.54 and 141.88, respectively. Conclusion The detection rates of diabetes mellitus and hypertension are high in the elderly population in Hebei Province. CVAI is positively associated with the risk of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, diabetes mellitus or hypertension, and diabetes with hypertension among the elderly in Hebei. CVAI has the strongest prediction ability for diabetes with hypertension.

Pulpotomy, which belongs to vital pulp therapy, has become a strategy for managing pulpitis in recent decades. This minimally invasive treatment reflects the recognition of preserving healthy dental pulp and optimizing long-term patient-centered outcomes. Pulpotomy is categorized into partial pulpotomy (PP), the removal of a partial segment of the coronal pulp tissue, and full pulpotomy (FP), the removal of whole coronal pulp, which is followed by applying the biomaterials onto the remaining pulp tissue and ultimately restoring the tooth. Procedural decisions for the amount of pulp tissue removal or retention depend on the diagnostic of pulp vitality, the overall treatment plan, the patient's general health status, and pulp inflammation reassessment during operation. This statement represents the consensus of an expert committee convened by the Society of Cariology and Endodontics, Chinese Stomatological Association. It addresses the current evidence to support the application of pulpotomy as a potential alternative to root canal treatment (RCT) on mature permanent teeth with pulpitis from a biological basis, the development of capping biomaterial, and the diagnostic considerations to evidence-based medicine. This expert statement intends to provide a clinical protocol of pulpotomy, which facilitates practitioners in choosing the optimal procedure and increasing their confidence in this rapidly evolving field.

Intentional tooth replantation (ITR) is an advanced treatment modality and the procedure of last resort for preserving teeth with inaccessible endodontic or resorptive lesions. ITR is defined as the deliberate extraction of a tooth; evaluation of the root surface, endodontic manipulation, and repair; and placement of the tooth back into its original socket. Case reports, case series, cohort studies, and randomized controlled trials have demonstrated the efficacy of ITR in the retention of natural teeth that are untreatable or difficult to manage with root canal treatment or endodontic microsurgery. However, variations in clinical protocols for ITR exist due to the empirical nature of the original protocols and rapid advancements in the field of oral biology and dental materials. This heterogeneity in protocols may cause confusion among dental practitioners; therefore, guidelines and considerations for ITR should be explicated. This expert consensus discusses the biological foundation of ITR, the available clinical protocols and current status of ITR in treating teeth with refractory apical periodontitis or anatomical aberration, and the main complications of this treatment, aiming to refine the clinical management of ITR in accordance with the progress of basic research and clinical studies; the findings suggest that ITR may become a more consistent evidence-based option in dental treatment.

Objective To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of excessive dynamic airway collapse(EDAC)treated by laser.Methods 13 patients with EDAC confirmed by bronchoscopy from January 2018 to August 2022 were selected and divided into a simple EDAC group(6 cases)and an EDAC combined with tracheobronchomalacia(TBM)group(7 cases)based on whether they were combined with TBM.All patients underwent laser tracheobronchoplasty under bronchoscope.Symptoms,airway collapse,oxygenation index,modified version of British Medical Research Council dyspnoea scale(mMRC)and 6 min walking test before and after treatment were compared to evaluate the therapeutic effect.Results 13 patients underwent 17 times of laser tracheobronchoplasty with laser power of 8～15 W,and 4 patients underwent 2 times of laser tracheobronchoplasty.After treatment,the clinical symptoms of cough,sputum,shortness of breath and dyspnea were improved in all patients.1 week post-treatment,the EDAC group showed a significant improvement in airway lumen stenosis,with a significant statistical difference(P<0.05),1 month post-treatment,enhancements were observed in airway stenosis,oxygenation index,FEV1%,6-minute walk test,and mMRC,which remained stable over a 6 month follow-up.In the EDAC + TBM group,significant enhancements in airway stenosis,oxygenation index,and mMRC were noted 1 week post-treatment,with statistical significance(P<0.05).Between 8 d～6 months post-treatment,some patients exhibited a recurrence of airway stenosis,necessitating comprehensive interventions like balloon dilation,cryotherapy,and stent insertion.Local necrosis and granuloma occurred in some patients after laser therapy,and no serious complications associated with laser intervention were found in all patients.Conclusion Laser tracheobronchoplasty is a safe and effective technique for the treatment of EDAC.For patients with EDAC alone,the therapeutic effect is good,but for patients with EDAC combined with TBM,the long-term effect is not good.

[Objective] To investigate the functional differences and potential effects of chromatin spatial structure in patients with normal karyotype and complex karyotype multiple myeloma. [Methods] High-throughput chromosome conformational capture (Hi-C) analysis was performed on plasma cells of 1 case with 1q21 complex karyotype and 1 case with normal karyotype multiple myeloma, and the differences in three-dimensional genome structure between the two patients were analyzed, and the transcriptome characteristics of plasma cells were combined to investigate the differential features through gene functional enrichment. [Results] A/B switch occurred in 36% of the chromatin compartments in two cases, and 1 041 genes in patient with complex karyotype had B/A switch. About 3 500 topological association domains (TADs) were identified in each sample, and there was no significant difference. The number of loops identified in complex karyotype sample was 1 069, which was 1/6 of the normal sample, and there were significant differences in the number of three different types of loops, which to some extent reflected the loss of genome stability. Transcriptome analysis showed significant differences in expression profiles between the two patients, and a total of 6 150 differentially expressed genes (3 303 up-regulated genes and 2 847 down-regulated genes) were identified. [Conclusion] Compared with patient with normal karyotype, patient with 1q21 complex karyotype multiple myeloma exhibit significant changes in the spatial structure of plasma cell chromatin at different levels, which leads to changes in gene expression and activation of pathways related to cancer progression.

Objective To investigate the effect of laser engraving personalized nasal patch applied to patients with nasal catheter indentation.Methods A total of 124 patients who underwent esophageal cancer surgery in the First Hospital of Lanzhou University from February 2022 to February 2023 and required indwelling nasal catheter were selected as study objects,and were divided into experimental group and control group according to random number table method,with 62 cases in each group.The control group used conventionally cut nasal patches to fix the nasal catheters,and the experimental group used laser engraved personalized nasal patches.Catheter displacement or slippage under the fixation device,nasal patch rolled edges and number of replacement,nasal medical device-related pressure injury,medical adhesive-related skin lesions and patients'comfort were observed in two groups.Results The rate of catheter displacement,number of rolled edges of nasal patches and numbers of replacement in experimental group were significantly lower than those in control group(P<0.05).The incidence of nasal mucosal indentation,nasal pain,nasal pressure injury and medical adhesive related skin lesions in experimental group were significantly lower than those in control group(P<0.05).The comfort of patients at the physiological level of experimental group was significantly better than that of control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Laser engraved personalized nasal patches can reduce the frequency of clinical nasal catheter displacement,nasal patch rolled edges and number of replacement,reduce the occurrence of nasal medical device related pressure injuries and medical adhesive-related skin lesions,and increase patients'comfort.
