Objective: To determine the association between exposure to entertainment screen content on mobile phones and symptoms of anxiety-depression co-morbidity among college students,so as to provide evidence for mental health interventions. Methods: A baseline survey was conducted from April to May 2019. A total of 1 135 college students were selected from one university each in Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province and Hefei City, Anhui Province using cluster random sampling method. A follow up study was conducted in November 2019, resulting in 1 110 matched valid responses. Self rating questionnaires were used to assess the exposure of entertainment screen content. The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21(DASS-21) and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) were used to evaluate the anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, and symptoms of anxiety-depression co-morbidity among college students. A multivariate binary Logistic regression model was constructed following initial intergroup comparisons with Chi-square test to determine the association between baseline exposure to mobile entertainment screen content and the risk of symptoms of anxiety depression co-morbidity at baseline and the 6 month follow up. Results: The prevalence rates of symptoms of anxiety-depression co-morbidity among college students were 25.4% and 20.6% at baseline and follow up, respectively.After adjusting for confounding factors such as gender, self rated family economic status and self rated health status, the results of multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis showed that compared with the appropriate exposure level group, the exposure of entertainment screen content on mobile phones at baseline, including frequent exposure to reading( OR =1.65,95% CI =1.14-2.39), occasional exposure to other entertainment screen content ( OR =1.46,95% CI =1.01-2.10)and frequent exposure to other entertainment screen content( OR =1.76,95% CI =1.20-2.60), increased the co-occurrence risk of symptoms of anxiety-depression co-morbidity among college students during the follow up period (all P <0.05). Conclusion Occasional or frequert exposure to mobile entertainment screen content can increase the risk of symptoms of anxiety depression co-morbidity among college students.

OBJECTIVE To provide valuable insights for the adjustment of anti-infectious regimens， identification of adverse reactions， and individualized pharmaceutical care in patients with critically severe scrub typhus. METHODS Clinical pharmacists actively participated in the pharmaceutical care process for a patient with severe scrub typhus leading to mixed shock undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Initially， the patient received meropenem （1 g， q12 h， ivdrip）， in combination with doxycycline （0.1 g， q12 h， po）， which was later switched to meropenem （1 g， q8 h， ivdrip） along with omacycline （100 mg， qd， ivdrip） due to impaired gastrointestinal function. However， as the patient’s condition progressively deteriorated and the infection became uncontrolled， the clinical pharmacists recommended that the clinicians adjust the anti-infective regimen to meropenem （2 g， q8 h， ivdrip） combined with tigecycline （100 mg for first dose； 50 mg， q12 h for maintenance； ivdrip）. The clinicians followed the advice of the clinical pharmacists. After treatment， the patient’s symptoms exhibited significant improvement， accompanied by a notable decrease in inflammatory markers， indicating that the infection had been successfully controlled. However， due to continuously increasing bilirubin levels， in order to reduce the risk of drug-induced liver injury， the clinicians changed tigecycline to azithromycin （0.5 g， qd， ivdrip） following the recommendation of the clinical pharmacists. RESULTS Ultimately， metagenomic next-generation sequencing of the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and blood specimens indicated that Orientia tsutsugamushi had been completely eradicated in the patient. CONCLUSIONS Tigecycline may be a viable therapeutic choice for patients with severe scrub typhus. In the context of critically ill patients with scrub typhus， combining tigecycline with azithromycin might potentially enhance the efficacy in eliminating Orientia tsutsugamushi.

Objective:Explore the clinical diagnosis and treatment strategies of recurrent multiple chondritis in children with airway involvement as the main cause. Methods:From June 2021 to May 2023, five children with relapsing polychondritis were admitted to our department, all of whom met the Damiani criteria. Tracheotomy was performed in all five patients. Endoscopy indicated subglottic stenosis, with one case classified as grade Ⅲ and four cases as grade Ⅳ according to the Myer-Cotton classification. Enhanced CT scans of the head and neck showed fixed lumen narrowing and stenosis, including thickening of the soft tissue in the laryngeal cavity and partial absorption of the laryngotracheal cartilage anterior wall. In one patient, tracheal wall thickening and deformation with stenosis and calcification involved the posterior tracheal wall. One patient underwent "laryngeal tracheal reconstruction with hyoid graft, T-tube implantation, and bioabsorbable corticosteroid-eluting stent implantation", while three patients underwent "balloon dilatation, T-tube implantation, and bioabsorbable corticosteroid-eluting stent implantation" . Follow-up was performed every two months after the initial surgery, and three bioabsorbable corticosteroid-eluting stents were placed on the upper left, upper right, and lower T-tube, respectively, during this time. The entire follow-up period was six months. Results:All the 5 cases were in the outpatient department, of which 1 case had been extubation, 3 cases were still in the outpatient follow-up, and the remaining 1 case was still being treated in the rheumatology and immunology department due to poor control of the primary disease. Conclusion:In relapsing polychondritis children with airway involvement, tracheotomy could be used to quickly improve the symptoms of dyspnea in the disease progression. In the stable stage of the disease, the surgical method of 'Balloon dilatation + T-tube implantation + Bioabsorbable corticosteroid-eluting stents implantation' was adopted to reduce the secondary injury caused by surgical trauma as much as possible and improve the survival and quality of life of the children.

Apical microsurgery is accurate and minimally invasive, produces few complications, and has a success rate of more than 90%. However, due to the lack of awareness and understanding of apical microsurgery by dental general practitioners and even endodontists, many clinical problems remain to be overcome. The consensus has gathered well-known domestic experts to hold a series of special discussions and reached the consensus. This document specifies the indications, contraindications, preoperative preparations, operational procedures, complication prevention measures, and efficacy evaluation of apical microsurgery and is applicable to dentists who perform apical microsurgery after systematic training.

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.

Instrument separation is a critical complication during root canal therapy, impacting treatment success and long-term tooth preservation. The etiology of instrument separation is multifactorial, involving the intricate anatomy of the root canal system, instrument-related factors, and instrumentation techniques. Instrument separation can hinder thorough cleaning, shaping, and obturation of the root canal, posing challenges to successful treatment outcomes. Although retrieval of separated instrument is often feasible, it carries risks including perforation, excessive removal of tooth structure and root fractures. Effective management of separated instruments requires a comprehensive understanding of the contributing factors, meticulous preoperative assessment, and precise evaluation of the retrieval difficulty. The application of appropriate retrieval techniques is essential to minimize complications and optimize clinical outcomes. The current manuscript provides a framework for understanding the causes, risk factors, and clinical management principles of instrument separation. By integrating effective strategies, endodontists can enhance decision-making, improve endodontic treatment success and ensure the preservation of natural dentition.
