OBJECTIVE: To observe the long-term health condition of the single-tooth dental implant at the first molar site, and to evaluate the related factors affecting the peri-implant health. METHODS: In this study, 82 patients who were treated in the Second Clinical Division, Peking University School and Hos-pital of Stomatology from January 2008 to December 2020 were enrolled. Peri-implant tissue conditions were assessed by clinical and radiographic examination. The peri-implant probing depth (PPD), modified sulcus bleeding index (mSBI), modified plaque index (mPLI) and papilla index (PI) were recorded for 278 implants. The X-ray analysis included the restoration emergence angle (REA), the clinical crown-implant ratio (cC/I), the horizontal tooth-implant distance (HTID), the contact point level (CPL) and the embrasure surface area (ESA), etc. Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test and generalized estimation equation were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: The average age of the patients was (40.2±9.5) years (19 to 84 years), with 33 males and 49 females. The follow-up time was (4.9±3.3) years (1 to 10 years). According to the diagnostic criteria in 2018, the prevalence of peri-implantitis in this study was 14.03% on the implant level and 21.95% on the patient level. The peri-implant health rate was 19.06% on the implant level and 18.29% on the patient level. The prevalence of peri-implant mucositis was 66.91% on the implant level and 59.75% on the patient level. At the baseline, there were statistically significant differences between the peri-implant health group and peri-implantitis group in PPD, distal HTID and mesial/distal CPL, cC/I (P < 0.05), while there was no statistically significant difference in mSBI, mPLI, PI, mesial HTID, mesial/distal REA and mesial/distal ESA between the two groups. Among the differences between follow-up and baseline, there were statistically significant dif-ferences between the two groups in PPD, mesial/distal HTID, mesial/distal CPL and mesial/distal ESA (P < 0.05). Generalized estimation equation showed that PPD, mesial/distal HTID, mesial CPL, and mesial ESA had significant positive correlations with the risk of peri-implantitis in the difference between baseline and follow-up. CONCLUSION Based on the results of this study, the peri-implant health rate is still unsatisfied, and the PPD, HTID, CPL, ESA may be related to the long-term health of the implant.

Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium that can cause chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers, and other gastrointestinal diseases. The World Health Organization has classified H. pylori as a group Ⅰ carcinogen. Antibiotics are the primary clinical approach for eradicating H. pylori. However, incomplete eradication of H. pylori by antibiotics can lead to persistent infection, which is a major risk factor for the high incidence of gastric cancer. The widespread use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of multidrug resistance in H. pylori, contributing to treatment failures of chronic gastric diseases and increasing the risk of spreading resistant strains. Multidrug-resistant H. pylori has become a serious challenge in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. This paper reviews the global trends in the development of multidrug resistance in H. pylori, the underlying mechanisms, the challenges it poses to clinical diagnosis, and its impact on drug development, drawing on relevant literature and the research findings from our group. It proposes using cgt expression as a novel method for determining viable bacteria, identifying intracellularization as a new form of resistance in H. pylori, and exploring the potential of O-glycans as a therapeutic approach against H. pylori to address multidrug resistance. It provides new insights into understanding the mechanisms of H. pylori multidrug resistance and its prevention strategies, offering promising directions for future clinical treatments and antimicrobial drug development.

Objective To construct a TCM Zhengsu differentiation model for type 2 diabetes based on deep learning and multimodal fusion,thus providing algorithmic support for full intelligence in TCM Zhengsu differentiation.Methods A total of 2585 patients with type 2 diabetes were recruited.Three experts were invited to perform the Zhengsu differentiation separately.Deep fully connected neural networks,U2-Net and ResNet34 networks were applied to construct the symptom-based differentiation model(S-Model)and the tongue image-based differentiation model(T-Model),respectively,while multimodal fusion techniques were employed to build the multimodal fusion model(TS-Model)with the above two as co-inputs.Finally,the prediction performance of the above models was compared by F1 value,accuracy,and recall.Results The predicted F1 values of the T-Model fluctuated from 0.000%to 86.726%,while those in the S-Model and TS-Model fluctuated from 0.000%to 97.826%and from 55.556%to 99.065%,respectively.A stable and high F1 value was found in the TS-Model.Conclusion The multimodal fusion technique was demonstrated to be applicable in the TCM Zhengsu differentiation model,which provided methodological support for developingof a fully intelligent Zhengsu differentiation model with high objective four diagnostic information.

Objective To generate minichromosome maintenance protein 2(MCM2)gene knockout cervi-cal cancer HeLa cell lines using inducible CRISPR/Cas9 technology,and to explore the effect of MCM2 on DNA replication and replication stress.Methods The inducible CRISPR/Cas9 system,TLCV2,was used to construct MCM2 knockout HeLa cell lines.And the cell lines were divided into control group(Control),knockout group 1(KO1),and knockout group 2(KO2).Western blot,Edu incorporation experiment,real-time quantitative PCR(qPCR),immunofluorescence and MTT assay were used to analyze the effects of MCM2 knockout on DNA replica-tion and replication stress induced by hydroxyurea.Results The CRISPR/Cas9 system successfully knocked out the MCM2 gene after induction,and MCM2 knockout affected the stability of MCM2-7 complex.Compared with the control cells,MCM2 knockout cells had a dramatic decrease in the capacity of DNA replication,and the mRNA levels of Cyclin A1,Cyclin E1 and CDK4.Under DNA replication stress,MCM2 knockout cells decreased cell viability,DNA damage repair capacity,and increased genomic instability compared with control cells.Conclusion Knockout of MCM2 gene reduces the DNA replication capacity of HeLa cells under normal conditions and cell viability under replication stress.This study successfully generates MCM2 gene inducible knockout HeLa cell lines,laying the foundation for further research on the role and biological function of MCM2 gene in the occurrence and progression of cervical cancer.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of thyroid dysfunction induced by camrelizumab in the treatment of classical Hodgkin lymphoma(cHL)and explore the influencing factors.Methods The medical records of cHL patients treated with camrelizumab from January 1st,2017 to December 31st,2020,were collected.The clinical characteristics of thyroid dysfunction induced by camrelizumab were analyzed,and the influencing factors of adverse drug reactions(ADRs)were discussed.Results A total of 47 patients were included,12 patients(25.53%)experiencing thyroid dysfunction after receiv-ing camrelizumab.Among them,3 patients had hypothyroidism,7 had subclinical hypothyroidism,and 2 had subclinical hyperthy-roidism.The severity of ADRs was between grade 1 and 2(mild to moderate).None of the patients with thyroid dysfunction dis-continued camrelizumab.Thyroid dysfunction occurred between 1 and 22 months after camrelizumab treatment,with a median time of 6 months.2 patients with hypothyroidism treated with levothyroxine,the thyroid function returned to normal in 1 patient and was improved in the other.1 patient with subclinical hypothyroidism was treated with levothyroxine with the thyroid function continued to be abnormal.The rest of the 9 patients with thyroid dysfunction received no intervention,and 4 of them returned to normal,and others remained with no obvious change or loss in follow-up.Thyroid dysfunction was associated with baseline thyroid stimulating hormone level(P=0.03).The level of thyroglobulin antibodies and thyroid peroxidase antibodies was increased in 2 patients a-mong 3 patients with moderate thyroid dysfunction.Conclusion The incidence of thyroid dysfunction induced by camrelizum-ab in cHL was high.Camrelizumab-induced thyroid dysfunction was related to TSH baseline level(P=0.03).The severity was between grade 1 and 2,which was related to the level of TgAb and TPOAb.The subtype of thyroid dysfunction was mainly sub-clinical hypothyroidism with a long period.Patients could continue camrelizumab treatment,and the thyroid function of patients with grade 2 hypothyroidism was improved after the treatment with levothyroxine.

This study aims to investigate the protective effect of resveratrol against liver injury in hindlimb unloading rats. Thirty 2-month-old male SD rats were randomly divided into normal group (Control), hindlimb unloading model group (Model), and hindlimb unloading+resveratrol administration group (Model+Res). The Model + Res group was injected intraperitoneally with 30 mg/kg of resveratrol, and the Control and Model groups were injected intraperitoneally with an equal volume of 0.9% NaCl. Liver tissues were collected after 28 days and analyzed for oxidative stress, inflammatory factors, energy metabolism indices, Na ⁺-K ⁺-ATPase and Ca ²⁺-Mg ²⁺-ATPase activity, and morphological changes were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining. The protein expression levels of Bax, Bcl-2, p-PI3K, PI3K, p-AKT, and AKT were detected by Western blotting. Compared with the Control group, hepatocytes in the Model group showed swelling, abnormal morphology, nuclear consolidation, and cell membrane disruption. Oxidative stress, inflammatory factor levels, hepatic glycogen accumulation, and energy metabolism were increased in the liver tissues of the Model group, while resveratrol treatment significantly reversed these changes. The results of Western blotting showed that resveratrol significantly reduced the expression of Bax and increased the expression levels of Bcl-2, and the proteins of p-PI3K/PI3K and p-AKT/AKT expression levels. It is suggested that 28 days of hindlimb unloading treatment could lead to liver tissue injury in rats, which is manifested as oxidative stress, inflammatory response, energy metabolism disorder and increased apoptosis level, and resveratrol has a certain mitigating effect on this.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of composite transplantation of artificial dermis and autologous razor-thin graft combined with vacuum sealing drainage in the repair of joint scar after burn.Methods:The clinical data of patients with scar contracture deformity or scar ulcer after extensive burn admitted to the Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery of No. 926 Hospital of the Joint Logistics Force of PLA from January 2019 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients received one-stage contracture scar excision and release or scar ulcer debridement, Lando ?artificial dermis transplantation combined with vacuum sealing drainage, removal of the silicone membrane after complete vascularization of the wound, and secondary transplantation of autologous razor-thin graft. The survival and long-term appearance of skin graft, formation of scar and function recovery of joint were observed. Results:A total of 32 patients were included, including 24 males and 8 females, aged from 18 to 45 years, with an average age of 33 years. Scars were found in 4 cases of the metacarpophalangeal joint, 4 cases of the wrist joint, 10 cases of the elbow joint, and 14 cases of the knee joint and popliteal fossa. One patient underwent surgery to repair bilateral knee joint scar ulcers simultaneously, resulting in a total of 33 surgical sites. Among them, there were 23 sites of scar contracture deformities, 5 sites of scar ulcers, and 5 sites of scar contracture deformities with scar ulcers. After 2 weeks of artificial dermis coverage, the negative pressure device was removed, and the artificial dermis stent vascularization was good in 32 patients (33 surgical sites). After autologous skin graft transplantation, the survival rate was 100% (33/33). Postoperative follow-up for 3 to 12 months showed that there was no ulceration in the skin graft area, the skin color was close to normal, and there were no obvious scar contractures or hyperplasia. The joint function was satisfactory.Conclusion:The composite transplantation of artificial dermis and autologous razor-thin graft combined with vacuum sealing drainage is good to repair scar contracture or scar ulcer of joint after burn, the skin color and texture after operation, and the recovery of joint function is satisfactory.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency type 4 (COXPD4) related to TUFM gene variation, in order to improve clinicians′ understanding of the disease. Methods:A case of COXPD4 with cystic leukodystrophy admitted to the Children′s Hospital of Zhengzhou University in June 2021 was taken as the study subject, and her clinical characteristics and genetic testing results were retrospectively analyzed. The "combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency type 4" " TUFM gene" "cystic leukodystrophy" "combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 4" "COXPD 4" " TUFM" and "cystic leukodystrophy" were used as keywords, and the documents on COXPD4 related to TUFM gene mutations were reviewed from Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, CNKI, PubMed Document Database, and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) until August 2021. The COXPD4 patients that have been reported internationally were analyzed for clinical features and variant types. Results:The patient was a 2-month-old girl with clinical manifestations of delayed development and progressive aggravation, elevated lactic acid in serum and cerebrospinal fluid, and diffuse white matter dysplasia with multiple cystic lesions in cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Whole exome sequencing showed TUFM gene complex heterozygous variants c.684_684+4delGGTGA and c.1105C>T, which had not been reported in the past. A total of 5 cases of COXPD4 were reported in 4 English literatures. Together with 1 case in this study, there were 4 cases with detailed clinical history data, including 1 male and 3 females. The clinical manifestations were severe early-onset lactic acidosis and developmental lag, and 3 cases were accompanied by progressive infantile encephalopathy. Among them, 3 cases underwent head MRI examination, all of which showed diffuse white matter signal with multiple cystic lesions, 2 cases with basal ganglia involvement and multiple cerebellar gyri deformity. Genetic test indicated different types of TUFM gene variation. Conclusions:COXPD4 is a rare hereditary mitochondrial disease. For cases with COXPD4 clinical and imaging features, TUFM gene mutations can be screened first.
