Cemental tear is a rare and indetectable condition unless obvious clinical signs present with the involvement of surrounding periodontal and periapical tissues. Due to its clinical manifestations similar to common dental issues, such as vertical root fracture, primary endodontic diseases, and periodontal diseases, as well as the low awareness of cemental tear for clinicians, misdiagnosis often occurs. The critical principle for cemental tear treatment is to remove torn fragments, and overlooking fragments leads to futile therapy, which could deteriorate the conditions of the affected teeth. Therefore, accurate diagnosis and subsequent appropriate interventions are vital for managing cemental tear. Novel diagnostic tools, including cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), microscopes, and enamel matrix derivatives, have improved early detection and management, enhancing tooth retention. The implementation of standardized diagnostic criteria and treatment protocols, combined with improved clinical awareness among dental professionals, serves to mitigate risks of diagnostic errors and suboptimal therapeutic interventions. This expert consensus reviewed the epidemiology, pathogenesis, potential predisposing factors, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of cemental tear, aiming to provide a clinical guideline and facilitate clinicians to have a better understanding of cemental tear.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of exercise on anxiety and depression in cancer patients during chemotherapy, as well as the optimal exercise dosage. MethodsA PICO framework was constructed, and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the effect of exercise on anxiety and depression in cancer patients during chemotherapy were retrieved from databases of PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, Medline, CNKI, VIP and Wanfang data, from the establishment to November, 2023. The quality of the literature was evaluated with Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool and Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale. Data were synthesized and analyzed using RevMan 5.3, and the risk of bias was evaluated using Stata 18.0. ResultsA total of 13 RCTs involving 1 340 subjects were included. The scores of PEDro scale were five to eight. Exercise interventions significantly improved anxiety (SMD = -0.70, 95%CI -1.18 to -0.22, P = 0.004) and depression (SMD = -0.89, 95%CI -1.43 to -0.34, P = 0.002) compared to the control group. Subgroup analyses showed that, the exercise effect on anxiety was less than 45 minutes a time (SMD = -0.26, 95%CI -0.46 to -0.05, P = 0.01), more than three times a week (SMD = -0.26, 95%CI -0.46 to -0.05, P = 0.01), and less than twelve weeks (SMD = -0.21, 95%CI -0.36 to -0.07, P = 0.005). For depression, it was less than 45 minutes a time (SMD = -0.69, 95%CI -1.29 to -0.08, P = 0.03), more than three times a week (SMD = -0.69, 95%CI -1.29 to -0.08, P = 0.03), and less than twelve weeks (SMD = -0.52, 95%CI -0.92 to -0.13, P = 0.01). Moderate to high-intensity exercise interventions significantly outperformed the control group in improving anxiety (SMD = -0.21, 95%CI -0.37 to -0.06, P = 0.007) and depression (SMD = -0.21, 95%CI -0.41 to -0.01, P = 0.04). ConclusionExercise interventions can effectively improve anxiety and depression in cancer patients during chemotherapy, and it suggests for high-intensity exercise, less than 45 minutes a time, more than three times a week, and less than twelve weeks.

BACKGROUND:Parkinson's disease has the main pathological changes in the midbrain,especially in the dense substantia nigra,leading to impaired motor and non-motor function in patients.At present,research is limited by cellular heterogeneity,and its pathogenesis still needs to be further elucidated.In recent years,single-cell RNA sequencing(scRNA-seq)has gradually been applied in neurodegenerative diseases,which is of great significance for understanding intercellular heterogeneity,disease development mechanisms,and treatment strategies. OBJECTIVE:To review the research progress of scRNA-seq technology applied to Parkinson's disease in recent years,providing a theoretical basis for the application of scRNA-seq in the treatment and diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. METHODS:The first author used a computer system to search for relevant literature in the CNKI,WanFang,PubMed,and Web of Science databases,with the Chinese search terms"single-cell RNA sequencing,Parkinson's disease,cell heterogeneity,cell subtypes,dopaminergic neurons,glial cells"and English search terms"single-cell RNA seq,Parkinson disease,heterogenicity,subtypes,dopaminergic neurons,glial cells."71 articles were ultimately included for review and analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)scRNA-seq is a high-throughput experimental technique that utilizes RNA sequencing at the single-cell level to quantify gene expression profiles in specific cell populations,revealing cellular mysteries at the molecular level.Compared with traditional sequencing techniques,scRNA-seq technology is used to reveal the diversity of cell types and changes in specific gene expression in complex tissues under various physiological and pathological conditions through automatic clustering analysis of cell transcriptome.(2)By using scRNA-seq,the development process of dopaminergic neurons and the unique functional characteristics of various cell subtypes are elucidated,in order to better understand potential therapeutic molecular targets.(3)The use of scRNA-seq analysis has improved our understanding of the response of Parkinson's disease glial cells,enabling us to comprehensively map and characterize different cell type populations,identify specific glial cell subpopulations related to neurodegeneration,and draw valuable single cell maps as reference data for future research.(4)The application of scRNA-seq to detect embryonic mice and stem cells will help improve the in vitro differentiation protocol and quality control of cell therapy,as well as evaluate the overall cell quality and developmental stage of dopaminergic neurons derived from stem cells.

Objective　To analyze the monitoring data of SARS-CoV-2 variants from local cases in Hainan Province between January 2023 and March 2024, and to understand the predominant variants epidemic situation and population characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 in Hainan Province, providing scientific guidance for the prevention and control strategies formulation, early warning of the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods　The variation surveillance data submitted by five sentinel monitoring hospitals in Hainan Province from January 2023 to March 2024 were collected, and general descriptive analysis was conducted on the dynamic epidemic trend of the dominant clade, population characteristics, and disease severity. Results　From January 2023 to March 2024, a total of 2 600 local cases clade information in Hainan Province were collected, all of which were Omicron variant strains involving 115 evolutionary branches. The three phases identified include: the co-dominance of BA.5.2.48 and BF.7 from the first week of 2023 to the 13th week of 2024; the prevalence of XBB and its subclades from the 16th to the 52nd week of 2023; and the predominance of BA.2.86 and its subclades from the first to the 13th week of 2024, with Omicron BA.2.75 causing small-scale sporadic outbreaks. Among all the age groups of branch infection cases, individuals aged >18~60 years constituted the largest group, while those under 4 years were the smallest, with no significant gender differences. The severity of the clinical disease was mainly asymptomatic and mild. Conclusions　Different dominant evolutionary clades of SARS-CoV-2 showed sequential replacement characteristics, and the clinical severity of illnesses has gradually decreased. In the future, the focus should be on individuals aged >60 years and above and those aged >18~60 years with underlying conditions, along with continuous enhancement of variant monitoring and analysis. This will ensure a timely understanding of the dynamic epidemic trend of dominant evolutionary clades in time, and focus on the immunogenicity of the new variant branch and changes in immunogenicity and vaccine protection of new variant clades, providing scientific guidance for the vaccine research, clinical treatment, and immunization strategy formulation.

Peri-implantitis is a pathologic condition associated with dental plaque that occurs in the implant tissue and is characterized by inflammation of the mucous membrane surrounding the implant, followed by the progressive loss of supporting bone. In this study, a case of guided bone regeneration therapy based on plaque control of peri-implant inflammation was reported. Four years after surgery for the left second premolar implant, the patient presented with "left lower posterior tooth swelling and discomfort for more than 2 years". The X-ray periapical film showed a decrease in distal bone mineral density of implant, and the clinical diagnosis was peri-implantitis of the left second premolar. Implants underwent guided bone regeneration and regular periodontal maintenance treatment. Re-examination at 3.5 months, 11 months, 18 months, and 7 years showed that the alveolar bone height and bone mineral density were stable, and the periodontal depth became shallow. However, the gingival recession was mild. In the present case, follow-up at 7 years demonstrated that the clinical periodontal indexes could be remarkably improved after complete periodontal treatment for peri-implantitis, and the alveolar bone could be well restored and regenerated.

Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is a key therapeutic target for breast cancer. With the wide application of anti-HER2 and HER2 antibody-drug conjugates such as trastuzumab, pertuzumab, trastuzumab emtansine, and trastuzumab deruxtecan, the survival of patients with advanced HER2-positive breast cancers have been significantly improved. However, the subsequent drug-induced interstitial lung disease (DILD) has gradually become an important complication affecting the therapeutic effect and safety. However, the clinical understanding of interstitial lung disease (ILD) caused by this type of drugs is still insufficient, the management lacks unified standards, and the molecular mechanism has not been fully clarified. This study, through two clinical cases of severe DILD, explores the pathogenesis, treatment strategies, risk factors and follow-up monitoring requirements of ILD caused by HER2-targeted drugs, providing a scientific basis for optimizing the clinical diagnosis and treatment plan.

Objective:To investigate the effect of oral administration of vitamin D3 on intestinal barrier function in patients after gastric cancer surgery,and to provide a reference for perioperative nutritional therapy in patients with gastric cancer.Methods:The conve-nience sampling method was used to select 80 patients with gastric cancer who were admitted to Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery in a grade A tertiary hospital in Xiamen,China,from June 2021 to May 2023,and the patients were divided into intervention group and control group using a random number table.The patients in the intervention group were given oral administration of vitamin D3 800 IU/d for 14 consecutive days before surgery.ELISA was used to measure the serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3[25(OH)D3],intestinal barrier indicators(D-lactate,Zonulin),and inflammatory indicators(C-reactive protein,interleukin-6)within 24 hours after admis-sion and on days 1,4,and 7 after surgery,and the changes in these indicators were compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 71 patients were enrolled finally,with 34 in the intervention group and 37 in the control group.On days 1,4,and 7 after surgery,the intervention group had a significantly lower level of D-lactate than the control group(F=3.978,P=0.026;F=9.649,P=0.005;F=4.389,P=0.021).On day 4 after surgery,the intervention group had a significantly lower level of Zonulin than the control group(F=3.198,P=0.035).Conclusion:Oral administration of vitamin D3 before surgery may accelerate the recovery of intestinal barrier function in pa-tients with gastric cancer.

Objective: To investigate the effects of polydatin on a high-fat diet-induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) mouse model and hepatoma G2(HepG2) cell model, and to reveal its potential molecular mechanisms. Methods: Thirty 6-week-old male SPF C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into a normal diet group and a high-fat diet group. After the NAFLD mouse model was established in the high-fat diet group, they were further divided into a model group and a polydatin treatment group. The polydatin treatment group was administered polydatin by gavage at a dose of 250 mg/(kg·d) for 10 weeks, during which body weight was monitored and oral glucose and insulin tolerance tests were performed. At the end of the experiment, a series of tests to evaluate the effects of polydatin on mouse liver weight, blood lipids, liver lipid accumulation, and liver injury markers were performed. The expression of G0/G1 switch gene 2(G0S2) and adipose triglyceride lipase(ATGL) was measured by qRT-PCR and Western blot, and gene expression was further verified using immunohistochemical staining. The effects of polydatin on HepG2 cell activity was assessed by CCK-8 assay, lipid accumulation was observed by oil red O staining, and the expression of G0S2 and ATGL was detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot. Results: Polydatin significantly reduced the body weight, liver weight, and serum and liver tissue levels of aspartate aminotransferase(AST), alanine aminotransferase(ALT), triglyceride(TG), and total cholesterol (TC) in mice (P < 0. 05) , al⁃leviated pathological liver damage , decreased G0S2 expression (P < 0. 05) , and increased ATGL expression (P <0. 05) . At the cellular level , polydatin reduced lipid droplet accumulation , improved lipid metabolism , decreased G0S2 expression ( P < 0. 05 ) , and increased ATGL expression ( P < 0. 05 ) . Even in cells with knockdown of G0S2 , polydatin still promoted fat decomposition (P < 0. 01) . Conclusion Polydatin promotes hepatic fat break⁃down by regulating the expression of G0S2 and ATGL , helping to alleviate metabolic disorders and liver damage in the NAFLD mouse model caused by a high⁃fat diet , offering a new strategy for treating NAFLD.

Objective To explore the effect of nursing intervention based on the integrated theory of health behavior change(ITHBC)on the health behavior of patients with diabetes retinopathy(DR).Methods 157 patients with diabetes retinopathy admitted from July to December 2022 in a tertiary A hospital in Wuhan,Hubei Province,were selected as the experimental group by convenience sampling method,while 156 patients with diabetes retinopathy hospitalized from January to June 2022 were selected as the control group,and routine nursing was caried out.The disease cognition scale scores,self-management scale scores,and quality of life scale scores were compared between the 2 groups before and after 6 months of intervention.Results After 6 months of intervention,the disease cognition scale scores,self-management scale scores,and quality of life scale scores of both groups improved,and the results in the experimental group were better than these in the control group,and the difference is statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Nursing interventions based on the ITHBC theory can help improve the disease cognition of DR patients,establish and maintain healthy behaviors,improve their self-management level,and improve their quality of life.
