Objective:
To explore the clinical and imaging characteristics of patients with regional odontodysplasia accompanied by hypodontia and to provide a reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
Methods:
This report presents the imaging manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of a case of regional odontodysplasia (RO) accompanied by hypodontia. It includes a retrospective summary of the dynamic changes in the imaging characteristics of the affected teeth over a 5-year period, along with a comparative analysis of the literature. The patient was a 9-year-old female who presented to the Clinic of Oral Rare and Genetic Diseases of our hospital with the chief complaint of “discomfort for over seven months following the extraction of the teeth in the left mandibular region.” Based on her clinical manifestations and imaging findings, she was diagnosed with RO in the left mandible and with hypodontia of permanent teeth 12 and 34. A treatment plan was formulated, and long-term follow-up was conducted. The current radiographic images were compared with previous imaging data to summarize the developmental changes in her teeth, and a comparative analysis was also performed with the literature to identify similarities and differences with previously reported RO dental characteristics.
Results:
During the follow-up period, the patient's symptoms did not worsen, and a conservative observation approach was adopted; the treatment plan was decided after the eruption of the affected teeth. By comparing and analyzing imaging data from three ages (4.5, 8.5, and 9 years old), it was determined that the deciduous and permanent teeth in the left mandible of this patient exhibited typical “ghost” radiographic features, alongside hypodontia of teeth 12 and 34, as well as the delayed development of tooth 35. A literature review and analysis indicated that RO manifests clinical characteristics such as delayed tooth eruption, reduced tooth size, and yellow crowns, along with typical “ghost” radiographic appearances. Treatment requires a personalized approach based on the patient’s specific condition. To date, only five cases of RO patients with hypodontia have been reported, while the delayed development of permanent tooth buds has not yet been documented.
Conclusion
For patients with RO, dynamic imaging evaluation plays a critical role in early diagnosis. RO is associated with hypodontia and delayed tooth germ development. Long-term follow-up and personalized treatment plans are the key to RO treatment.

ObjectiveTaking Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix(ABR) from different origins as samples, to quantitatively analyze the chemical composition and chromaticity of ABR with different processing degrees, and clarify the correlation and change law between color and composition in the processing process of ABR, so as to provide reference for the quality evaluation of processed products of ABR. MethodThe colorimeter is used to measure the chromaticity values of three kinds of processing degrees of ABR in different origins to show the color value change trend during the processing process, and the color parameters of wine-processed and salt-processed products of ABR with different processing degrees were analyzed by principal component analysis(PCA), orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA) and other analysis methods. The contents of eight representative components of ABR were measured by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC), the correlation between chromaticity and each representative component was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis, and the applicability of the selected eight representative components was further verified by Fisher linear discriminant analysis, and the wine-processed and salt-processed products of ABR with different processing degrees were grouped according to the degree of processing, and 48 samples of wine-processed and salt-processed products with different processing degrees were used as training samples. Taking the contents of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, polypodine B, β-ecdysterone, 25R-inokosterone, 25S-inokosterone, ginsenoside Ro, chikusetsusaponin Ⅳa and polysaccharides as variables, the discriminant function was established respectively, and 12 samples of wine-processed and salt-processed products of ABR with different processing degrees were back-tested to verify the discriminant function and test the reliability of the function. ResultPCA and OPLS-DA results showed that ABR samples with different processing degrees were classified into clusters, and the results could significantly distinguish different processed products. During the process of wine and salt processing, the contents of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, ginsenoside Ro, and chikusetsusaponin Ⅳa gradually increased with the deepening of the processing degree, while the contents of polypodine B, β-ecdysterone, 25R-inokosterone, 25S-inokosterone and polysaccharides showed a gradual decreasing trend, indicating these 8 components increased and decreased to different degrees in the process of wine and salt processing. The results of Pearson correlation analysis showed that the 5-hydroxymethylfurfural content of the samples with different processing degrees of wine-processed and salt-processed products were negatively correlated with the brightness value(L*) and the total color difference value(E*ab)(P<0.01), and positively correlated with the red-green value(a*) and the yellow-blue value(b*)(P<0.01), and that the content of polypodine B and polysaccharides were positively correlated with L* and E*ab(P<0.01). The discriminant functions of wine-processed and salt-processed products of ABR were established by Fisher linear discriminant analysis, and their accuracy rates in the training samples were 93.75% and 95.83%, respectively. Twelve test samples of wine-processed and salt-processed products with different processing degree were back substitution, and the correct rate was 100%. ConclusionThe trend of composition and color changes of ABR with different processing degrees in different production areas is relatively consistent, and the color value can better distinguish ABR with different processing degrees, and the color of ABR is related to some representative components in the processing process, indicating that the color can provide reference for the identification of the processing degree of ABR and the prediction of component content.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) among children in Hebei from 2019 to 2023.Methods:A total of 46 576 lower respiratory tract specimens were collected from hospitalized children in the Children′s Hospital of Hebei Province from 2019 to 2023. Multiple RT-PCR and capillary electrophoresis were used to detect 13 common respiratory pathogens in the specimens, and the results were statistically analyzed.Results:The overall positive rate of RSV was 18.76%(8 739/46 576). The overall positive rates of RSV in male and female children were 18.84%(5 174/27 462) and 18.65%(3 565/19 114), respectively, showing no statistically significant difference between genders (χ 2=0.916, P=0.339). A linear relationship was found between the positive rate of RSV and age ( P<0.01). There was a significant difference in the positive rates of RSV in different years (χ 2=723.71, P<0.01). The positive rate of RSV peaked in the period from December to February from 2019 to 2021. In 2019 and 2020, the positive rates of RSV were very low from May to October, while the positive rate of RSV was above 10% throughout the whole year of 2021 and small off-season epidemics occurred in May and August. The positive rate of RSV was low in 2022, and no significant seasonal change was observed. The rate of RSV infections peaked from April to June in 2023. There were significant differences in the rates of RSV infections before, during and after the COVID-19 epidemic in each age group ( P<0.01). The rate of mixed infections was 29.20%(2 522/8 739), and the most common other respiratory pathogen was human rhinovirus (52.29%, 1 342/2 552 ). Conclusions:RSV is a common pathogen causing respiratory tract infections in children in Hebei, especially in children under 3 years old. After the COVID-19 epidemic, there are off-season RSV epidemics. Given the variations in the epidemiological features of RSV, it is necessary to carry out continuous monitoring of RSV to provide scientific data for the prevention and control of related diseases.
