Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of enteric-coated metformin hydrochloride capsules(Junlida?)in patients with T2DM and poor glycemic control under lifestyle interventions.Methods In this study,419 patients with T2DM were recruited from 15 research centers from July 2020 to March 2022,and randomly divided into observation(Obs)group(n=209)and control group(Con,n=210)using a multicenter,randomized,double-blind,non-inferiority trial design.Patients in the Obs group were treated with enteric-coated Metformin hydrochloride capsules(Junlida?),and patients in the Con group were treated with Metformin hydrochloride tablets(Glucophage?).The optimal effective dose of 2 g/d was achieved within 4 weeks,and the reasonable dose was maintained until the end of treatment.The treatment period was 24 weeks.HbA1c and its compliance rate,FPG,and body weight were compared between the two groups in full analysis set(FAS)and protocol set(PPS).Safety and adverse events(AE)were evaluated in safety set(SS).Results A total of 414 participants were randomized(207 cases in Obs group and 207 cases in Con group).414 cases in FAS population(207 cases in Obs group and 207 cases in Con group),and 328 cases in PPS population(164 cases in Obs group and 164 cases in Con group),and 414 cases in SS population(207 cases in Obs group and 207 cases in Con group).After treatment,HbA1c,FPG and body weight were lower in both groups(P<0.05)in FAS and PPS.HbA1c compliance rate was not significantly different between the two groups in FAS and PPS(P>0.05).The results of non-inferiority test showed that the lower limit was>-0.4%in both FAS(-0.154,95%CI-0.384～0.069)and PPS(-0.139,95%CI-0.390～0.112),and the Obs group reached non-inferiority end point.The achievement rate,compliance rate,safety index and incidence of AE were not significantly different between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusions Junlida? demonstrated non-inferiority to Glucophage? in glycemic control and can be safely and effectively used in patients with diabetes.

Objective To explore the effect of life reconstruction training on anxiety and depression among individuals with chronic spinal cord injury(SCI)and their caregivers,and to analyze the influencing factors.Methods A total of 216 SCI patients and 79 caregivers who participated in life reconstruction training were recruited from the Hope House for SCI individuals in Shanghai Yangzhi Rehabilitation Hospital from May,2017 to Octo-ber,2019.They were assessed with Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)and Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS)be-fore and after intervention.Results After intervention,the scores of SAS and SDS decreased(P<0.05)in both SCI patients and their caregivers.SAS scores were more likely to reduce in SCI patients who suffered anxiety at admission(OR=2.315,95%CI 1.328 to 4.033,P=0.003)and their caregivers(OR=3.632,95%CI 1.270 to 10.390,P=0.016),as well as non-agricultural-registered SCI patients(OR=1.908,95%CI 1.074 to 3.391,P=0.028).Being unmarried,having an injury duration≥21 years,injury due to disease,and having depression at admission significantly promoted the reduction in SDS scores among SCI patients(P<0.05).Caregivers with a junior-high-school education or less were more likely to experience reductions in scores of SAS and SDS compared with those with higher education(P<0.05).Caregivers with five to 15 years of caregiving experience achieved more anxiety reduction(OR=7.155,95%CI 1.806 to 28.342,P=0.005).Conclusion Life reconstruction training is effective on anxiety and depression among individuals with chronic SCI and their caregivers.It is recommended to prioritize anxiety interventions for patients with rural household registra-tion in China,along with depression management for the married/divorced/widowed individuals,with<21 years since injury,and trauma-induced lesions.For caregivers,it is needed to focus to anxiety and depression in better-educated individuals,as well as anxiety in those with either<5 or≥15 years of caregiving experience.

Enamel demineralization, the formation of white spot lesions, is a common issue in clinical orthodontic treatment. The appearance of white spot lesions not only affects the texture and health of dental hard tissues but also impacts the health and aesthetics of teeth after orthodontic treatment. The prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of white spot lesions that occur throughout the orthodontic treatment process involve multiple dental specialties. This expert consensus will focus on providing guiding opinions on the management and prevention of white spot lesions during orthodontic treatment, advocating for proactive prevention, early detection, timely treatment, scientific follow-up, and multidisciplinary management of white spot lesions throughout the orthodontic process, thereby maintaining the dental health of patients during orthodontic treatment.

Objective:To investigate the underlying mechanism behind the significant reduction in intracellular virus loads after respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza viruses infect respiratory epithelial cells overexpressing the chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 1 (CCR1).Methods:A549 cells were infected with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza A viruses (H1N1, H3N2), or influenza B virus (FluB), and the expression of chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 5 (CCL5) and CCR1 were detected by qRT-PCR, ELISA, and Western blot. After overexpressing or knocking down CCR1 in A549 cells, these cells were infected with RSV, H1N1, H3N2, or FluB, and the expression of CCR1, heat shock protein 90 (HSP90), cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1), and viral proteins were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot. After stimulating CCR1-overexpressed A549 cells with CCL5, Western blot was used to detect the expression of HSP90 and CDK1, and co-immunoprecipitation was used to detect the interaction between HSP90 and CCR1. CCR1 -/- mice were infected with RSV, H1N1, or H3N2 to observe the changes in the expression of HSP90, CDK1, and viral proteins with Western blot, and the inflammation in lung tissues with HE staining. One-way analysis of variance and t test were used for statistical analysis. Results:RSV, H1N1, H3N2, and FluB infections induced high expression of CCL5 in A549 cells ( P<0.05), but the expression of CCR1 showed an overall downward trend. After activating its receptor CCR1, CCL5 inhibited the replication of RSV and influenza viruses by suppressing the activity of HSP90 ( P<0.05). The experiments conducted on CCR1 -/- mice confirmed that the enhanced activity of HSP90 facilitated the replication of RSV and influenza viruses. Conclusion:RSV and influenza viruses may reduce the binding of CCL5 to CCR1 by downregulating the expression of CCR1 in respiratory epithelial cells, thereby weakening the inhibitory effect of CCR1 on HSP90 activity, which enables them to evade host immune defense.

Objective:To develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-based platelet review strategy to identify abnormal platelet histograms with no significant difference between initial impedance platelet count (PLT-I) and PLT-F results.Methods:This study included 5 119 routine blood analysis in Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University and its Ganzhou branch from July 2023 and March 2024. Specimens exhibiting abnormal platelet histograms and an initial platelet count >40×10?/L underwent review using the fluorescent platelet count (PLT-F) channel. Consistency of the results was defined as a difference between impedance platelet count (PLT-I) and PLT-F less than ±20% of the PLT-F results. A deep learning model was developed using platelet and red blood cell histogram data from a training set of 3 807 specimens. The model′s diagnostic performance was evaluated on an independent external validation set ( n=805) using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Changes in the number of reviewed samples and sample turnaround time were analyzed to assess its clinical utility. Results:The deep learning model based on platelet and red blood cell histograms achieved an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.854 in the training set. At a cutoff value of 0.1, the sensitivity was 0.954 and specificity was 0.358. The model could reduce review by 16.80% (190/1 131). In the validation set, the AUC was 0.805, with a sensitivity of 0.955 and specificity of 0.307, corresponding to a reduction of 17.41% (47/270) in reviewed specimens.Conclusion:The platelet review prediction model developed based on deep learning technology can efficiently identify samples with consistent results before and after review, reducing unnecessary reviews and shortening specimen testing time, thereby improving the efficiency of platelet test.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transdermal delivery of compound glycyrrhizin injection as an adjunctive treatment for erythematotelangiectatic rosacea (ETR).Methods:This was a randomized controlled trial conducted from March to October 2024. At Sichuan Provincial People′s Hospital, 60 patients with newly diagnosed ETR were prospectively enrolled and randomized by a random number table into study group [ n=30; 6 male and 24 female; aged 18-60 (38.9±9.8) years] and control group [ n=30; 4 male and 26 female; aged 18-60 (35.7±10.1) years]. The study group received transdermal delivery of compound glycyrrhizin injection by a medium-frequency drug-delivery therapeutic apparatus together with oral azithromycin and hydroxychloroquine sulfate, whereas the control group received oral azithromycin and hydroxychloroquine sulfate. The efficacy evaluations were conducted at baseline and at weeks 2, 4, 6, and 8 post-treatment. Outcome measures included percentage of erythema area, stratum corneum hydration, transepidermal water loss (TEWL), clinician′s erythema assessment (CEA), erythema and telangiectasia scores, dermatology life quality index (DLQI), and efficacy rate. Adverse reactions during treatment were also recorded. Results:Compared with baseline, both groups exhibited significant reductions in percentage of erythema area, TEWL, CEA, erythema and telangiectasia score, and DLQI, and significant increases in stratum corneum hydration at each post-treatment time point (all P<0.05). After 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks of treatment, the percentage of erythema area, erythema and telangiectasia scores in the study group were all lower than those in the control group, while the stratum corneum hydration level in the study group was higher than that in the control group (all P<0.05). After 4, 6, and 8 weeks of treatment, TEWL, CEA, and DLQI in the study group were all lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05). After 4 weeks of treatment, the efficacy rate in the study group was 56.7% (17/30), which was higher than that of the control group at 23.3% (7/30, P=0.046). After 6 weeks of treatment, the efficacy rate in the study group was 83.3% (25/30), higher than that of the control group at 50.0% (15/30, P=0.020). After 8 weeks of treatment, the efficacy rate in the study group was 86.7% (26/30), higher than that of the control group at 66.7% (20/30, P<0.001). No severe adverse reactions were observed in either group. Conclusion:Transdermal delivery of compound glycyrrhizin injection as an adjunctive treatment for ETR demonstrates favorable efficacy and good safety.
