【Objective】 To analyze the height growth of children aged 6 - 15 years in Nanning, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, so as to provide evidence for the assessment of local children′s height development. 【Methods】 A total of 25 225 children aged 6 - 15 years were selected to get their physical examination data from 41 primary schools in Nanning by stratified cluster sampling method in December 2021.Then the height data were compared with the current domestic standards. 【Results】 The average height of boys in Nanning was lower than the national standard before the age of 10 years and 7 months, and the gap with the national standard gradually narrowed after the age of 10 years and 7 months. The average height of boys in Nanning City exceeded the national standard between the age of 11 years and 1 month and 13 years and 6 months, and then lagged behind the national standard again after the age of 13 years and 7 months. The mean height of girls in Nanning City was lower than the national standard height in several age groups, and it was more obvious before the age of 9 years and 7 months. The proportion of height ≤-2s,≤-s,≥ +s and ≥+2s in boys aged 6 to 15 years in Nanning City fluctuated from 2.59% to 6.04%, 12.09% to 23.43%, 7.18% to 18.79% and 0.93% to 3.14%, respectively; the total proportions were 4.56%, 17.46%, 11.35% and 1.74%, respectively; the minimum/maximum proportion values of each height group were at 11 years old /8 years old, 14 years old/8 years old, 8 years old/12 years old, and 6 years old/11 years old, respectively. The proportions of girls aged 6 - 15 years in Nanning City with height ≤-2s, ≤-s, ≥+s, and ≥+2s fluctuated from 2.06% to 5.19%, 9.35% to 25.15%, 8.21% to 15.80% and 1.23% to 3.49%, respectively; the total proportions were 3.38%, 16.91%, 11.97% and 2.29%, respectively; and the minimum/maximum proportion values of each height group were at 13 years old/6 years old, 12 years old/6 years old, 7 years old/12 years old, and 6 years old/11 years old, respectively. 【Conclusions】 The overall height level of children in Nanning is still lower than the national level, with short prepubertal basal heights, an earlier age of onset of accelerated pubertal height, and a shorter duration of accelerated pubertal height in boys. Strengthening pre-pubertal height management and emphasizing the onset and duration of children′s pubertal development, especially the height development of boys during puberty, can help improve the adult lifelong height of children in this region.

Objective To study the influence of implant depth and scanning rod lengths on the accuracy of digital impression for single-tooth implant restoration of the mandibular posterior teeth.Methods Five standard dental cast models with missing right mandibular first molar(46)were prepared with the subgingival implant depths of 0,1,3,5 and 7 mm.ITI RC and ITI RC H11 scanning rods were connected to the replacement body and placed into the seating tract for scanning.The reference data were obtained using a 3D dental scanner,and the experimental data were obtained by 10 scans of each model using a digitized intraoral scanner.Geomagic Wrap 2021 was used to analyze the model data to test the trueness and precision of the models.Results The trueness did not differ significantly among the groups(P>0.05).The implant depth of 1 mm achieved the highest impression precision(66.81±2.45 μm),and the depth of 0 mm resulted in a significantly lower precision(95.60±3.04 μm)than the depth of 1 and 3 mm.Starting from the subgingival depth of 1 mm,the precision of the scan decreased progressively with the increase of the implant depth.At the subgingival implant depth of 5 or 7 mm,the use of an extended rod significantly improved the scan precision.Conclusion For single-tooth implant restoration of the mandibular posterior teeth,the implant depth can substantially affect the accuracy of digital impression,which decreases as the implant depth increases.For a deep implant,the use of a longer scanning rod can improve the scanning accuracy.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) diseases are common clinical conditions. The number of patients with TMJ diseases is large, and the etiology, epidemiology, disease spectrum, and treatment of the disease remain controversial and unknown. To understand and master the current situation of the occurrence, development and prevention of TMJ diseases, as well as to identify the patterns in etiology, incidence, drug sensitivity, and prognosis is crucial for alleviating patients′suffering.This will facilitate in-depth medical research, effective disease prevention measures, and the formulation of corresponding health policies. Cohort construction and research has an irreplaceable role in precise disease prevention and significant improvement in diagnosis and treatment levels. Large-scale cohort studies are needed to explore the relationship between potential risk factors and outcomes of TMJ diseases, and to observe disease prognoses through long-term follw-ups. The consensus aims to establish a standard conceptual frame work for a cohort study on patients with TMJ disease while providing ideas for cohort data standards to this condition. TMJ disease cohort data consists of both common data standards applicable to all specific disease cohorts as well as disease-specific data standards. Common data were available for each specific disease cohort. By integrating different cohort research resources, standard problems or study variables can be unified. Long-term follow-up can be performed using consistent definitions and criteria across different projects for better core data collection. It is hoped that this consensus will be facilitate the development cohort studies of TMJ diseases.

Ameloblastoma is a benign tumor characterized by locally invasive phenotypes,leading to facial bone destruction and a high recurrence rate.However,the mechanisms governing tumor initiation and recurrence are poorly understood.Here,we uncovered cellular landscapes and mechanisms that underlie tumor recurrence in ameloblastoma at single-cell resolution.Our results revealed that ameloblastoma exhibits five tumor subpopulations varying with respect to immune response(IR),bone remodeling(BR),tooth development(TD),epithelial development(ED),and cell cycle(CC)signatures.Of note,we found that CC ameloblastoma cells were endowed with stemness and contributed to tumor recurrence,which was dominated by the EZH2-mediated program.Targeting EZH2 effectively eliminated CC ameloblastoma cells and inhibited tumor growth in ameloblastoma patient-derived organoids.These data described the tumor subpopulation and clarified the identity,function,and regulatory mechanism of CC ameloblastoma cells,providing a potential therapeutic target for ameloblastoma.

Objective:To investigate the protective effects of Huoxue Rongluo Decoction on hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) rats; To clarify the expression of AMPK signaling pathway during HIBD injury and repair.Methods:On the basis of the hypoxia ischemia reperfusion model, an improved hypoxia bottle was used to establish a full-term HIBD rat model. Totally 60 successfully modeled mice were divided into model group and TCM group using a random number table method, with 30 mice in each group and 30 mice in a control group. Two hours before surgery, TCM group was orally administered with Huoxue Rongluo Decoction 1.17 g/100 g (equivalent dose). The control group and model group were orally administered with equal volume of physiological saline. Two hours after surgery, it was orally administered again, twice a day, for consecutive 5 d. Behavioral tests (convulsion assessment, Longa score, suspension test, water maze test) were used to evaluate the motor nerve function and long-term learning ability of young rats in different groups. HE staining and electron microscopy were used to observe the pathological changes of brain tissue and mitochondrial damage. Evans blue (EB) staining and brain water content measurement were used to detect blood-brain barrier permeability and brain edema. The expression of AMPK signaling pathway related genes in brain tissues of different groups of young rats was detected by PCR array technique.Results:Compared with the model group, the convulsions of the rats in the TCM group were improved, the Longa score was significantly reduced, the grip strength test score and suspension time were significantly improved, the escape latency was significantly shortened, and the number of crossing platforms significantly increased ( P<0.05); the degree of neuronal and mitochondrial damage in the TCM group was reduced, and cerebral vascular permeability and brain water content were significantly reduced ( P<0.01). The results of PCR array showed that compared with the control group, 2 genes were significantly up-regulated and 12 genes were significantly down-regulated in the brain tissue of the model group; compared with TCM group, 15 genes were relatively down-regulated in the model group. Conclusion:Huoxue Rongluo Decoction can significantly reduce the degree of brain injury after HIBD, improve the motor nerve function and long-term learning and cognitive ability of model rats, and its damage repair mechanism is related to the expression regulation of AMPK signaling pathway related genes.

Hemophagocytic syndrome，synonymous with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis（HLH），represent a spectrum of hyperinflammatory response syndromes that have been the subject of intense scrutiny in terms of their etiopathogenesis and early warning strategies.Ebstein-Barr virus（EBV）-associated HLH is the most prevalent form of infection-associated secondary HLH.It is characterized by a sudden onset，rapid progression，and high mortality rate.The primary clinical features include persistent fever，often accompanied by manifestations of multi-system involvement，such as cytopenias，hepatosplenomegaly，lymphadenopathy，abnormal liver function，respiratory symptoms，neurological symptoms，and rashes.Therefore，early recognition and warning are crucial for improving the prognosis of patients with EBV-HLH.This article aimed to focus on the relationship between EBV and HLH，the diagnosis of EBV-HLH，associated warning factors，and treatment strategies.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective: To understand prevalence and trend of drinking behavior among middle school students in Quzhou during 2012 to 2022, and to provide a basis for formulating scientific and effective intervention measures for adolescent drinking. Methods: By using stratified cluster sampling method, a questionnaire survey using Zhejiang adolescent health related behavior questionnaire was conducted anonymously in selected classes in May 2012, 2017 and 2022, respectively. Changes of drinking behavior of middle school students in different years were analyzed. Results: The prevalence of ever drinking, current drinking and drunkenness among middle school students in Quzhou decreased from 58.05%, 22.70% and 21.25% in 2012 to 41.83%, 15.35% and 11.54% in 2022, respectively ( χ 2 trend =82.69, 30.00，58.24, P <0.01). In the past 30 days, 66.67% of students reported drinking 1-2 days, the proportion of drinking for 3-5 days increased from 16.36% in 2012 to 26.19% in 2022, the proportion of drinking for 6-19 days decreased from 13.03% in 2012 to 3.40% in 2022. The proportion of buying alcohol increased from 22.12% in 2012 to 35.03% in 2022. The results of the three surveys showed that, now drinking rates, drinking rates, Male students (27.88%，23.96%，18.75%；24.69%，17.44%，13.75%) was higher than the girls (17.60%，17.25%，11.31%；17.87%，10.61%，8.91%)， non ordinary high schools (33.96%，34.69%，22.77%；33.65%，23.91%，19.49%) were higher than ordinary high schools (25.82%，18.80%， 12.62 %；25.82%，17.35%，9.94%) and junior middle school (16.53%，15.83%，12.22%；13.93%，8.47%，7.35%). Conclusion Progress in adolescent drinking control is being made in Quzhou, with the prevalence of ever drinking, current drinking and drunkenness significantly decreased. It is necessary to strengthen the control of drinking behavior among middle school students from the aspects of school, family and society, especially for boys and students in non ordinary high school students.
