Objective:To explore the distribution characteristics of glioma-associated oncogene homolog 1 (Gli1) positive cells during orthodontic tooth movement process and conduct a proteomic analysis of these cells.Methods:Forty Gli1-LacZ transgenic mice were used to establish an in vivo orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) model for labeling Gli1 positive cells in Gli1-LacZ transgenic mice (OTM group) and an unforced control group, with tooth movement distance measured using micro-CT. The spatial relationship and distribution characteristics of Gli1 positive cells and H-type vessels of CD31 and endomucin (EMCN) in periodontal tissues were detected by immunofluorescence staining. Twenty Gli1-membrane-targeted tandem dimer Tomato (mT)/membrane-targeted green fluorescent protein (mG) double-genotype mice were bred and Gli1 positive cells were sorted for proteomic sequencing after tamoxifen induction. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) databases were used for enrichment analysis. Results:The micro-CT three-dimensional reconstruction results showed that the mesial movement of the maxillary first molar in mice after 7 days of force application was (69±15) μm, indicating the successful establishment of the Gli1-LacZ transgenic mouse OTM model. Immunofluorescence staining showed that the blood vessels in periodontal tissue were mostly H-type vessels of CD31 and EMCN. The blood vessels in the periodontal tissues are predominantly H-type vessels positive for both CD31 and EMCN. The percentage of Gli1 positive cells in the OTM group, expressed as (54.5±13.2)%, and the relative fluorescence intensity, expressed as 2.6±0.9, were both significantly greater than those in the control group, which had a Gli1 positive cell percentage of (36.3±9.1)% ( t=3.60 , P=0.002) and a relative fluorescence intensity of 1.0±0.3 ( t=5.20, P<0.001). In contrast to the control group where only a small number of Gli1 positive cells were consistent with the distribution of H-type vessels, in the OTM group the number of Gli1 positive cells increased on the tension side were closely associated with the spatial distribution of H-type vessels. GO enrichment analysis of biological processes found that a large number of proteins in Gli1 positive cells were enriched in pathways such as angiogenesis and tissue remodeling. KEGG enrichment analysis found that related proteins were mainly enriched in pathways related to angiogenesis and Gli1, such as hypoxia-inducing factor 1 signaling pathway, vascular endothelial growth factor signaling pathway and hedgehog signaling pathway. Conclusions:The number of Gli1 positive cells increased on tension side and were closely related to H-type blood vessels in response to mechanical force during orthodontic tooth movement. This may be related to profile of inducing blood vessel formation and tissue remodeling.

Protrusive facial deformities, characterized by the forward displacement of the teeth and/or jaws beyond the normal range, affect a considerable portion of the population. The manifestations and morphological mechanisms of protrusive facial deformities are complex and diverse, requiring orthodontists to possess a high level of theoretical knowledge and practical experience in the relevant orthodontic field. To further optimize the correction of protrusive facial deformities, this consensus proposes that the morphological mechanisms and diagnosis of protrusive facial deformities should be analyzed and judged from multiple dimensions and factors to accurately formulate treatment plans. It emphasizes the use of orthodontic strategies, including jaw growth modification, tooth extraction or non-extraction for anterior teeth retraction, and maxillofacial vertical control. These strategies aim to reduce anterior teeth and lip protrusion, increase chin prominence, harmonize nasolabial and chin-lip relationships, and improve the facial profile of patients with protrusive facial deformities. For severe skeletal protrusive facial deformities, orthodontic-orthognathic combined treatment may be suggested. This consensus summarizes the theoretical knowledge and clinical experience of numerous renowned oral experts nationwide, offering reference strategies for the correction of protrusive facial deformities.

Objective To analyze the reasons for the failure of subject screening in clinical trials of antineoplastic drugs and the impact of natriuretic criteria on the entry of subjects into clinical trials,to explore the strategies to improve the suc-cessful enrolment of screened subjects,and to provide reference bases for research institutes and sponsors in the formulation of na-triuretic criteria.Methods This study selected data from 40 drug clinical trials conducted at the Drug Clinical Trial Research Center of the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 1,2016,to June 30,2022.It statistically described the collected data on the frequency and percentage composition of screening failures among participants and the inclu-sion and exclusion criteria in the protocols.Results A total of 425 subjects were screened out of 40 clinical trial programmers covering 8 tumor types,with the majority being＜65 years of age(333,78.4％),of which the most important reasons included vol-untary withdrawal(71,16.7％),tumor metastasis(52,12.2％),failure to recover from treatment of pre-existing disease(38,8.9％),failure of bone marrow function(19,4.5％),and non-compliant liver function(15,3.5％).Among the nadir indicators,the age of the subjects(100％),ECOG score(97.5％),bone marrow function(ANC:95.0％,PLT:97.5％,HB:97.5％),liver function(T-BiL:95.0％,ALT:87.5％,AST:95.0％),renal function(CR:80.0％),and viral screening(HIV:80.0％,HBV:70.0％,HCV:62.5％)were relatively stringent.Conclusion The main reasons for subject screening failure in clinical trials in oncology in our hospital are voluntary withdrawal,brain metastasis,and failure of their biochemical test standards,which are close-ly related to the setting of clinical trial nadir criteria.Therefore,an in-depth understanding of subjects'characteristics,accurate set-ting of appropriate nadir criteria,continuous improvement of trial design,and strengthening of communication with subjects to pro-vide more relevant information will help to improve the screening success rate of clinical trials.

Objective:To systematically summarize and comparatively analyze the development, establishment and usage of oncology drugs speedy review approaches in China and in the United States between 2012 and 2021.Methods:Based on National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) websites, the development and current status of the speedy review approaches were consulted and summarized. Approved oncology drugs in China and in the United States (87 in China, 118 in the United States) over the past decade were analyzed using chi-square test for group comparison.Results:Five speedy approaches have been established in China and in the United States, three of which are the same, priority review, conditional approval or accelerated approval and breakthrough therapy. The rest two are special review and approval, special examination and approval in China, and fast track and real-time oncology review in the United States. Compared to the United States, speedy review approaches in China set up late (1992 vs. 2005). The overall utilization rates of the oncology drugs speedy review approaches were similar between the China and United States (90.8% vs. 92.4%, P=0.800) in the previous 10 years, and priority review have highest utilization rates in both China and the United States without significant group difference (77.0% vs. 82.2%, P=0.381); relatively low utilization rates of conditional approval (31.0% vs. 44.9%, P=0.041) and breakthrough therapy (2.3% vs. 50.0%, P＜0.001) were seen in China. 52.9% of new drugs applied for special examination and approval in China and 40.7% of new drugs applied for fast track in the United States. Overall, the priority review both in China and the United States are stable, with a similar average annual utilization rate (84.8% vs. 83.7%); accelerated approval and breakthrough therapies in the United States fluctuate wildly, but the situation is tending towards stability in the last 3 years. Conclusions:Both China and the United States have established a relatively complete accelerated review system, with an overall utilization rate over 90%; China's accelerated review started late, although the overall utilization rate is close to that of the United States. The utilization rates of conditional approval and breakthrough therapy are still relatively low. Flexible usage of speedy review approaches, gaining regulatory recognition to use alternative endpoints, achieving real-time review and guidance are keys to accelerate new drug development in China.

Purpose To investigate the consistency of the"Standards and guidelines for the interpretation and reporting of sequence variants in cancer"published in 2017 by the Associa-tion for Molecular Pathology(AMP)/American Society of Clini-cal Oncology(ASCO)/College of American Pathologists(CAP).Methods Sixty variants of 26 genes from 11 types of cancer were selected.5 professionals from four hospitals e-quipped with in-hospital NGS detection ability were used to in-terpret the treatment,diagnosis and progenosis respectivly.In the first phase of the study,each researcher rated the variants individually according to their own understanding of the 2017 guideline.In the second phase,the details of the guidelines'e-valuation principles were discussed and interpreted again after reaching a consensus.Results Eleven principles recognized by all participants were summarized as a supplement to interpreta-tion.Fleiss consistency showed that the consistency of interpre-tation of treatment and prognostic significance in the second stage was higher than that in the first phase(κ value was 0.166 vs 0.276,0.014 vs 0.185).The consistency of interpretation of diagnostic significance in the second stage was lower than that in the first phase(κ value was 0.454 vs 0.035).Conclusion There is inconsistency in the clinical interpretation of tumor gene variation among different laboratories.It is feasible for laborato-ries to establish a mutually recognized interpretation system for the clinical diagnosis,treatment,and prognosis of tumors.

Objective To investigate the effect of T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains (TIGIT) on the function of CD8⁺ T cells in the lungs of Plasmodium infected mice. Methods The lungs of the mice infected with Plasmodium yoelii were isolated, weighed and photographed after 12 days' infection. After dissolution, lung lymphocytes were isolated, counted and stained, and then the contents of CD8⁺ and TIGIT⁺CD8⁺ T cells were detected by flow cytometry. The expressions of L selectin (CD62L), CD69, programmed death 1 (PD-1), CD25, and C-X3-C motif chemokine receptor 1 (CX3CR1) on TIGIT⁺CD8⁺ T cells were detected by flow cytometry. After stimulation with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and ionomycin, the ability of TIGIT⁺CD8⁺T cells to secrete interferon γ(IFN-γ), interleukin 21 (IL-21), IL-4, IL-17, and IL-10 was detected. Results The body mass of mice with Plasmodium infection was reduced. The lungs became darker, and the ratio of the lung mass to body mass was significantly increased. Compared with the normal mice, the percentages and absolute quantity of CD8⁺ and TIGIT⁺CD8⁺ T cells in the lungs of the infected mice were significantly increased. The percentage of TIGIT⁺CD8⁺ T cells expressing CD62L in the infected group was significantly lower, while the percentage of the CD69, PD-1, and CX3CR1 cells were significantly higher than that of TIGIT⁺CD8⁺ T cells from the normal mice. The percentages of TIGIT⁺CD8⁺ T cells secreting IL-21, IL-4, IL-17 and IL-10 cells in the infected group were significantly lower. Conclusion The lung lesions from mice with Plasmodium infection are obvious, the numbers of TIGIT⁺CD8⁺ T cells increase, and these cells express a variety of activation-related molecules, but the ability to secrete cytokines is reduced.
