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.

Objective:To explore the application effect of home rehabilitation exercise prescription in non-surgical treatment of patients with lumbar disc herniation.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 66 patients with non-surgical treatment of lumbar disc herniation who visited Outpatient Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January to August 2023 were selected as the research objects. The patients were divided into the control group and the observation group using the random number table method, with 33 cases in each group. The control group implemented routine home rehabilitation nursing measures, while the observation group formed an outpatient home rehabilitation nursing team based on this, constructed a home rehabilitation exercise prescription and implemented targeted home rehabilitation training. Pain Numberic Rating Scale (NRS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) Scores and exercise compliance were compared between the two groups after 6 weeks of home rehabilitation.Results:After 6 weeks of home rehabilitation exercise, NRS score and ODI score of observation group were lower than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The JOA score and compliance score of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Home rehabilitation exercise prescription can promote the rehabilitation of patients with non-surgical treatment of lumbar disc herniation, effectively relieve pain, improve the symptoms of limb dysfunction and improve the compliance of rehabilitation exercise.

Objective To explore the clinical application value of core needle biopsy guided by fully digital mammography three-dimensional positioning system in the diagnosis of breast lesions.Methods A retrospective analysis of 21 patients who underwent guided core needle biopsy in a fully digital mammography system was performed.2 1 patients had 2 1 lesions,which included mass (4 cases),suspected calcification (15 cases)and glandular collection (2 cases)based on X-ray examination before biopsy.The needle depth was manually calculated according to the mammogram (0°and 90°),and automatically calculated with the full digital mammography three-dimensional positioning system. The needle depth was adjusted according to the combination of above two values with the patient’s skin elasticity and gland structure. After putting a small incision into the needle with local anesthesia,X-ray radiography was taken to observe the position of the puncture needle, and then the puncture gun was excited to take out the tissue at different positions of the lesion.Finally,X-ray radiography of the tissue was performed.Results 21 patients underwent biopsy with the average operation time of 45 minutes and puncture time of 25 minutes.The needle depth adjustment range was 3－5 mm,using 14G puncture needle and 4－8 pieces of tissue were pierced according to the lesions. X-ray radiographywas performed on the removed tissue strips. For all the cases of suspected calcification,the calcified lesions were found in the removed tissue strips.No serious adverse reactions occurred in 21 patients with lateral position (1 9 cases)and sitting position (2 cases).2 patients with sitting position developed dizziness, nausea,and palpitation,and recovered quickly after rest and psychological comfort.Puncture pathology confirmed 6 cases of breast cancer (1 case of intraductal papillary carcinoma,2 cases of ductal carcinoma in situ,3 cases of invasive breast cancer),and 1 5 cases of benign lesions,with no obvious changes after one year follow-up.Conclusion In the core needle biopsy guided by the fully digital mammography three-dimensional positioning system for breast lesions,the patient should be placed in the lateral position, which can effectively reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions.A 14G puncture needle and ≥4 tissue strips can achieve a higher pos-itive rate.The technology is simple and easy to perform with a high puncture accuracy,and has important application value.

To explore the role of the mutations G38R and D40G of Annexin A11 (ANXA11) in the onset of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
 Methods: The plasmids expressing ANXA11 wild type protein, ANXA11 G38R protein and ANXA11 D40G protein were constructed, respectively. The recombinant plasmids were then transfected into HEK293 cells respectively followed by cycloheximide (CHX) treatment for 0, 2, 4 and 8 h. The protein expressions of ANXA11 wild type, ANXA11 G38R and ANXA11 D40G mutations were determined by Western blot. Gray analysis by Image J was performed to compare the half-life of each protein. The NSC-34 cell lines constantly expressing ANXA11 wild type protein, ANXA11 G38R protein and ANXA11 D40G protein were established. The cells were treated with NP-40 lysis buffer to examine the protein solubility by Western blot.
 Results: Both ANXA11 G38R protein and ANXA11 D40G protein showed a shorter half-life than ANXA11 wild type protein (P<0.05), while there was no difference between ANXA11 G38R protein and ANXA11 D40G protein (P>0.05). There was no visible insoluble substance in the NP-40 lysates for ANXA11 wild type protein, ANXA11 G38R protein and ANXA11 D40G protein.
 Conclusion: G38R and D40G mutations reduce the stability of ANXA11 protein. G38R and D40G mutations do not alter ANXA11 solubility.

CCAAT/enhancer binding protein β (C/EBPβ) is a critical member of C/EBP family.C/EBPβ,based on the leucine zipper located in C terminal of the protein,can regulate transcriptional activities of downstream target genes involved in diverse cellular processes,such as proliferation and differentiation.Recently published studies have identified that C/EBPβ is essential in the decidualization of endometrial stromal cells.This review summarizes the roles and mechanisms of C/EBPβ during the courses of decidualization,which is aimed at providing novel insights for dysfunctional decidualization.
