Objective: To assess the effect of 12-year-old children s pit and fissure sealants on the health of first permanent molars, so as to provide evidence for optimizing caries prevention strategies among children. Methods: In March 2025, a cluster random sampling method was used to conduct oral examinations on 965 students aged 12 from Chengdu s 2021 Comprehensive Intervention Program for Pediatric Oral Diseases. Data from the Comprehensive Intervention System for Children s Oral Diseases were referenced. Participants were divided into a sealed group ( n =755) and an unsealed group ( n =210) based on whether they had received sealants on their first permanent molars. Chi square test or analysis of variance were used to compare indicators such as caries incidence, new caries detection rate, and new caries mean (DMFT increment) between the two groups Results: The sealed group showed significantly lower caries incidence, new caries detection rate, and new caries mean (33.38%, 17.65%, 0.59±1.00) compared to the unsealed group (43.81%, 24.70%, 0.87±1.22)( χ 2/F =7.79, 18.26, 9.55, all P <0.05). However, no significant difference was found in the filled teeth ratio between the two groups (20.38% , 20.16%; χ 2=0.01, P =0.94). In girls, the sealed group exhibited significantly lower caries incidence, new caries detection rate, and new caries mean (36.78%, 20.99%, 0.69± 1.10 ) than the unsealed group (57.55%, 33.52%, 1.15±1.29) ( χ 2/F =14.42, 23.76, 10.92, all P <0.05), whereas no significant differences were observed between boys in the sealed (30.47%, 14.85%, 0.50±0.89) and unsealed groups (29.81%, 16.18%, 0.59± 1.08) ( χ 2/F =0.02, 0.41, 0.74, all P >0.05). Boys had significantly lower new caries detection rates and new caries means than girls in both groups ( χ 2/F =16.20, 6.94; 29.93, 11.84, all P <0.05). In urban areas, the sealed group had lower new caries detection rates and new caries means (19.37%, 0.68±1.04) than the unsealed group (24.66%, 0.90±1.20) ( χ 2/F =6.86, 3.94, both P <0.05). In suburban areas, all indicators for the sealed group (24.71%, 13.77%, 0.42±0.87) were significantly lower than those for the unsealed group (38.81%, 24.77%, 0.82±1.28) ( χ 2/F =5.28, 15.36, 6.00, all P <0.05). Indicators from specialized dental institutions (11.25%, 4.81%, 0.16±0.56) were significantly lower than those from county level or above general hospitals (33.33%, 19.11%, 0.38±1.00) and primary healthcare institutions (37.59%, 19.24%, 0.67±1.05) ( χ 2/F =20.99, 34.31, 21.08 , all P <0.01). Conclusions The 12-year-old children s pit and fissure sealants effectively reduce the caries incidence in first permanent molars, particularly showing significant effectiveness in girls and suburban children. Intervention strategies should be optimized according to gender.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that mitochondrial oxidative stress has an important role in the development of knee osteoarthritis,and Hemin can regulate the expression of mitochondria-related proteins. OBJECTIVE:To study the regulatory effect of Hemin on oxidative stress in mouse chondrocytes and its interventional effect and mechanism in knee osteoarthritis. METHODS:(1)In vitro cell experiment:Primary chondrocytes from C57BL/6 mice were extracted and induced with 10 ng/mL interleukin-1β to construct an in vitro chondrocyte model of osteoarthritis.The optimal concentration of Hemin(0,1,10,20,40,80,and 160 μmol/L)for the intervention in mouse chondrocytes was determined by cell counting kit-8 method.Chondrocytes were randomly divided into control group,model group(interleukin-1β)and Hemin group(interleukin-1β+Hemin).Reactive oxygen species,mitochondrial membrane potential and apoptosis of chondrocytes in each group were detected.(2)In vivo experiment:Adult C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into normal group,model group(osteoarthritis)and Hemin group(osteoarthritis+Hemin),with eight mice in each group.After 4 weeks of Hemin treatment,the behavioral test and histopathological observation of the knee joint were performed in each group.Changes in extracellular matrix-related protein expression and apoptosis in chondrocytes and the expression level of Nrf2/HO-1 protein in cartilage tissue were detected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In vitro experiment:the optimal concentration of Hemin on primary chondrocytes was 40 μmol/L.Compared with the model group,the level of reactive oxygen species was significantly reduced,the mitochondrial membrane potential was significantly improved,and the apoptosis of chondrocytes was reduced in the hemin-treated interleukin-1β-induced chondrocytes.In vivo experiment:After 4 weeks of treatment,compared with the model group,the lower limb function of mice in the Hemin group was significantly improved,the histopathological score was significantly improved,and the apoptosis of knee chondrocytes was significantly reduced.All these findings indicate that Hemin can alleviate oxidative stress,restore mitochondrial function and reduce apoptosis in mouse chondrocytes induced by interleukin-1β.Hemin can improve extracellular matrix degradation,promote chondrocyte anabolism,reduce catabolism and reduce chondrocyte apoptosis in knee osteoarthritis.It may act by activating the chondrocyte Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway in the inflammatory environment.

Objective To observe value of real-time functional MRI neurofeedback(rtfMRI-NF)for modulating brain activity changes in obese adults.Methods Twenty-two obese adults were prospectively recruited,3-week rtfMRI-NF training intervention was conducted.Barratt impulsivityness scale version 11(BIS-11),three-factor eating questionnaire(TFEQ)and food rating scales were scored before and after intervention,and whole-brain resting state fMRI(rs-fMRI)data were obtained.Clinical scale scores,rs-fMRI regional homogeneity(ReHo)values and amplitude of low frequency fluctuation(ALFF)values were compared before and after intervention.Then brain regions with differences of ReHo and ALFF values before and after intervention were explored,and correlations of values of rs-fMRI data differences and clinical scale score differences were analyzed.Results BIS-11 score,TFEQ emotional eating(TFEQ-EE)score and food rating scales scores decreased,while TFEQ cognitive restraint(TFEQ-CR)scores increased in obese adults after intervention(all P＜0.05).ReHo values in right inferior frontal gyrus,right anterior cingulate and left precuneus increased,while of left middle temporal gyrus decreased(all corrected P＜0.05).ALFF values of left precuneus increased,whereas of left middle occipital gyrus,right superior occipital gyrus,left calcarine fissure and surrounding cortex and left supramarginal and angular gyrus decreased(all corrected P＜0.05).ReHo difference in right anterior cingulate was negatively correlated with BIS-11 scores difference(r=-0.601,P＜0.05),and ALFF difference in left precuneus was negatively correlated with TFEQ-EE difference(r=-0.478,P＜0.05).Conclusion rtfMRI-NF intervention could correct disorder of cerebral functional areas in obese adults and change high-calorie food preference and poor dietary habits.

Objective To evaluate the value of systemic inflammatory response index(SIRI),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)and aspertate aminotransferase(AST)which is used to identify the high-risk population of adult fulminant myocarditis(FM).Methods A total of 131 adult myocarditis patients admitted to Affiliated Jinhua Hospital,Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2018 to December 2023 were selected as the study objects and divided into FM group(n=54)and non-FM group(n=77)according to their conditions.Differences of leukocyte count,neutrophil count,monocyte count,lymphocyte count,SIRI,C reactive protein,creatine kinase,creatine kinase,LDH,AST,and cardiac troponin I were compared.Influencing factors were analyzed by Logistic regression,and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive value.Results Upon admission,patients in non-FM group exhibited significantly lower levels of SIRI,creatine kinase,creatine kinase isoenzyme,LDH,AST,and cardiac troponin Ⅰ compared to those in FM group with statistical significance(P＜0.05).Through ROC curve analysis,it was determined that the predicted effect of LDH and AST was superior.The sensitivity of LDH and AST were found to be 75.5％and 84.9％,respectively,with corresponding specificity levels of 97.3％and 90.4％.The results of the multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that elevated levels of LDH＞633.00U/L,AST＞80.45U/L,and SIRI＞2.595×109/L were identified as significant risk factors associated with the development of FM in patients with myocarditis.Conclusion In the early stage of myocarditis,SIRI,LDH and AST have certain reference value for identifying the high-risk group of adult FM.

Objective:To explore the improvement of the quality standard of Ginkgo Leaf Extract and Dipyridamole Injection and conduct safety tests including abnormal toxicity test,allergic reaction test,hemolysis and coagulation test.Methods:Ginkgo Leaf Extract and Dipyridamole Injection from 3 different manufactures(A,B and C)were tested respectively through abnormal toxicity test and acute toxicity test in mice,active systemic anaphylaxis test in guinea pigs and hemolysis test in vitro.Five mice were used in each batch for abnormal toxicity test according to the abnormal toxicity test method in general notice of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020 Volume Ⅳ(1141),and 50 mice were selected in each batch for acute toxicity test to determine the median lethal dose(LD50)or maximum tol-erable dose(MTD)of Ginkgo Leaf Extract and Dipyridamole Injection,which were used to establish the method of abnormal toxicity experiment.The anaphylaxis of Ginkgo Leaf Extract and Dipyridamole Injection was evaluated by active systemic anaphylaxis test in guinea pigs,which was used to establish the method of allergic test.The hemoly-sis test of Ginkgo Leaf Extract and Dipyridamole Injection was studied by conventional tube method in vitro(macro-scopic observation)and improved hemolysis method in vitro(spectrophotometric method),which were used to establish the method of hemolysis and coagulation test.Results:① In manufacture A,the results of abnormal toxicity test were showed that LD50 was20.8 mL·kg-1and MTD was 16.5 mL·kg-1.No death or abnormal reac-tions were observed in mice tested for abnormal toxicity of 2 manufactures(B and C),and MTD was 50 and 40 mL·kg-1,respectively.②The no-observed-adverse-effect dose of Ginkgo Leaf Extract and Dipyridamole Injec-tion from 3 manufactures to guinea pig intravenous was 0.83 mL·kg-1,and no allergic reaction symptoms were observed when Ginkgo Leaf Extract and Dipyridamole Injection was diluted 4 times to challenge the sensitized guinea pigs(equivalent to human clinical dosage).③Differences were observed in the hemolytic effects of Ginkgo Leaf Extract and Dipyridamole Injection from 3 manufactures,but no obvious hemolytic reaction occurred when it was diluted 1.2 times(equivalent to 5%of the maximum clinical concentration).Conclusion:It is recommended to add abnormal toxicity test,allergic reaction test,hemolysis and coagulation test in the quality standard of Ginkgo Leaf Extract and Dipyridamole Injection as safety test items to control the risk.The proposed method is diluting Ginkgo Leaf Extract and Dipyridamole Injection by 5 times,4 times and 1.2 times to perform abnormal toxicity test,allergic reaction test,hemolysis test and coagulation test respectively.

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to elucidate the therapeutic potential of osthole for the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD), focusing on its ability to alleviate chronic pruritus (CP) and the underlying molecular mechanisms. METHODS: In this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of osthole in both a 2,4-dichloronitrobenzene (DNCB)-induced AD mouse model and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) stimulated huma immortalized epidermal (HaCaT) cells. The anti-itch effect of osthole was specifically assessed in the AD mouse model. Using methods such as hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), western blot (WB), quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), and immunofluorescence staining. RESULTS: Osthole improved skin damage and clinical dermatitis scores, reduced scratching bouts, and decreased epidermal thickness AD-like mice. It also reduced the levels of interleukin (IL)-31 and IL-31 receptor A (IL-31 RA) in both skin tissues and HaCaT cells. Furthermore, Osthole suppressed the protein expression levels of phosphor-p65 (p-p65) and phosphor-inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa-Bα (p-IκBα). Meanwhile, it increased the protein expression levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) and PPARγ in HaCaT cells. CONCLUSION These findings indicated that osthole effectively inhibited CP in AD by activating PPARα, PPARγ, repressing the NF-κB signaling pathway, as well as the expression of IL-31 and IL-31 RA.

Objective:To explore the relationship between thyroid hormone sensitivity and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease(MASLD) in a population with normal thyroid function, with a particular focus on sex-specific differences.Methods:This retrospective study included 41 355 euthyroid cases who underwent routine health examinations at the Health Management Centre of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University from January 2014 to December 2023 were included. The free triiodothyronine(FT 3) to free thyroxine(FT 4) ratio(FT 3/FT 4) was calculated in order to reflect the peripheral sensitivity of the thyroid gland. Similarly, thyroid feedback quantile-based index(TFQI), thyrotrophic thyroxine resistance index(TT 4RI), and the FT 3-based TFQI-derived index(TFQI-FT 3) were calculated in order to reflect the central sensitivity of the thyroid gland. A Logistic regression was employed to analyse the effect of sex-specific thyroid hormone sensitivity indices on the prevalence of MASLD. The restricted cubic spline was used to analyse the non-linear relationship between the thyroid sensitivity hormone indices and MASLD. Furthermore, the correlation between the thyroid hormone sensitivity indices and MASLD in different subgroups was also analysed. Results:The prevalence of MASLD in the study population was 28.8%. After adjusting the model for confounders, the risk of MASLD increased by 7%, 3%, 10%, and 5% for each standard deviation increase in FT 3/FT 4, TFQI, TFQI-FT 3, and TT 4RI in the total population, respectively. The risk of MASLD increased by 6% and 5% for each standard deviation increase in FT 3/FT 4 and TFQI-FT 3 in men, respectively. For each standard deviation increase in FT 3/FT 4, TFQI, TFQI-FT 3, and TT 4RI in women, the risk of MASLD increased by 6%, 5%, 11%, and 5%, respectively. Higher FT 3/FT 4 and TFQI-FT 3 were positively associated with the risk of developing MASLD in men, and higher FT 3/FT 4, TFQI, TFQI-FT 3, and TT 4RI were positively associated with the risk of developing MASLD in women. There was a non-linear, inverted U-shaped relationship between TFQI and risk of MASLD in women. Subgroup analyses showed positive associations between FT 3/FT 4, TFQI, TFQI-FT 3, and MASLD. Conclusions:The thyroid hormone sensitivity indices may provide a basis for clinical prevention and management of MASLD in individuals with normal thyroid function. Additionally, FT 3/FT 4 and TFQI-FT 3 may indicate the risk of MASLD in the general population, while TFQI and TT 4RI are more suitable for assessing the risk of MASLD in women.
