Objective To clarify the occurrence,location distribution,and risk factors of microperforations in surgical gloves used in dermatovenereology surgeries.Methods A total of 898 sterilized surgical gloves worn by right-handed medical staff during dermatovenereology surgeries in Suqian Hospital of Jiangsu Province Hospital from May 2022 to April 2024 were selected as the research objects.The occurrence and location distribution of microperforations in all sterilized surgical gloves after surgery were collected.Univariate analysis and binary Logistic regression analysis were conducted on the factors that might lead to the occurrence of microperforations.Results Among the 898 gloves selected in this study,61 gloves(6.79%)had microperforations;the incidence of microperforations in the gloves worn on the left hand was significantly higher than that in the gloves worn on the right hand(P<0.05);microperforations were prone to occur on the palmar surfaces of the index finger and thumb of the gloves.The results of univariate and binary Logistic regression analyses showed that the use of special instruments,surgery duration≥60 minutes,ingrown nails surgery,and worn by the chief surgeon were the risk factors for the occur-rence of microperforations in sterilized surgical gloves(OR>1,P<0.05),while wearing double-layer gloves was the protective factor to avoid the occurrence of microperforations(OR<1,P<0.05).Conclusion The sterilized surgical gloves are more likely to occur microperforations if involved special instruments in surgery,surgery duration≥60 minutes,and ingrown nails surgery,and worn by the chief surgeon,while wearing double-layer gloves can reduce the incidence of microperforations.

40 patients with choronic periodontitis underwent periodontal basic treatment were randomly divided into 2 groups(n=20).The patients in control group used special toothpaste and toothbrush to brush their teeth after meals,those in the experimental group brushed their teeth with special toothpaste and toothbrush in the morning,evening and after meals,and wore personalized film pressing trays containing cymene care solution while sleeping at night.Gingival bleeding,periodontal pocket depth and attachment loss were ob-served after 4,6 and 10 weeks respectively.The personalized tray combined with cymbidium reduced the depth of periodontal pocket(P＜0.05)and the rate of probing bleeding sites(P＜0.05)more effectively,and showed no statistical significance in the change of attachment loss(P＜0.05).Cymene care solution is effective in the improvement of periodontal health.

Objective This study explores the clinical correlation between different low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)levels and prognosis,providing evidence-based guidance for the development of personalized lipid-lowering goals.Methods Patients who underwent elective percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)treatment at Beijing Anzhen Hospital from January 2020 to June 2023 and received lipid-lowering therapy with the addition of Evolocumab were selected.Based on the results of blood lipid rechecks 3 to 6 months after surgery,the patients were divided into five groups:low-density lipoprotein＜0.5 mmol/L,0.5 to＜1.0 mmol/L,1.0 to＜1.4 mmol/L,1.4 to＜1.8 mmol/L,and above 1.8 mmol/L.All patients were followed up for more than one year,and clinical conditions and major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)were recorded.Results A total of 1 106 patients undergoing PCI were enrolled;after propensity score matching and exclusion of patients lost to follow up,550 remained(110 per group).During 12 months of follow-up,58 patients(10.5％)experienced a MACE,with incidence rising step-wise across LDL-C categories.In multivariable Cox models adjusted for age,sex,diabetes,hypertension,baseline LDL-C,follow-up LDL-C,estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR),and left ventricular ejection fraction,the hazard ratios[HR(95％CI)]for MACE,relative to the＜0.5 mmol/L group,were 1.810(0.507-6.454,P=0.361),3.036(0.945-9.749,P=0.062),5.228(1.737-15.735,P=0.003),7.708(2.633-22.565,P＜0.001)for LDL-C levels of 0.5 to＜1.0,1.0 to＜1.4,1.4 to＜1.8 and≥ 1.8 mmol/L,respectively.A restricted cubic spline model demonstrated a significant non-linear positive association between LDL-C and MACE(P-overall≤0.001;P-non-linear=0.008).Stratified analyses by age,sex,hypertension and diabetes showed consistent HR with no significant interactions(all P＞0.05).There were no statistically significant differences among the groups in the incidence of bleeding events,elevated creatinine levels,or abnormal liver function(all P＞0.05).Conclusions In patients using PCSK9 after PCI,there is a significant positive correlation between LDL-C levels and the risk of MACE,and no correlation was observed between different LDL-C levels and the risk of adverse events such as bleeding.

Inertial microfluidics,as a microfluidic technology with the ability to precisely manipulate particles and cells with high throughput,has attracted widespread attention.However,challenges remain in achieving particle focusing with insensitivity to flow rates in large-scale channels,mainly due to the instability of secondary flows within the inertial microfluidic chip.This study developed a microstructure-assisted ultra-low aspect ratio spiral microchannel,which utilized the stability and acceleration of secondary flows to achieve inertial particle focusing.The research results demonstrated successful particle focusing within a 1 mm-wide spiral channel chip,for different diameter sizes(7.3 μm and 15.5 μm),within a wide range of flow rates(0.5-3 mL/min).The focusing efficiencies for these particles were measured to be above 94%and 99%,respectively.Additionally,it was observed that the particle focusing position was approximately 100 μm away from the channel walls,significantly larger than other inertial focusing chips.Consequently,by incorporating ordered microstructures within the spiral channel chip,the stability and enhancement of secondary flows were achieved,resulting in flow rate and particle size-insensitive inertial focusing.Compared to traditional methods of inertial focusing,this design had advantages of not requiring additional sheath flow operations,and boasted high throughput and ease of manufacturing.This innovative structure opened up vast prospects for the development of portable inertial microfluidic chips,and could be used in the fields such as cell analysis and detection,flow cytometry,and online sample processing.

Objective To estimate adolescents and children age using stepwise regression and machine learning methods based on the pulp and tooth volumes of the left maxillary central incisor and cuspid on cone beam computed tomography(CBCT)images,and to compare and analyze the estimation re-sults.Methods A total of 498 Shanghai Han adolescents and children CBCT images of the oral and maxillofacial regions were collected.The pulp and tooth volumes of the left maxillary central incisor and cuspid were measured and calculated.Three machine learning algorithms(K-nearest neighbor,ridge regression,and decision tree)and stepwise regression were used to establish four age estimation models.The coefficient of determination,mean error,root mean square error,mean square error and mean ab-solute error were computed and compared.A correlation heatmap was drawn to visualize and the monotonic relationship between parameters was visually analyzed.Results The K-nearest neighbor model(R2=0.779)and the ridge regression model(R2=0.729)outperformed stepwise regression(R2=0.617),while the decision tree model(R2=0.494)showed poor fitting.The correlation heatmap demon-strated a monotonically negative correlation between age and the parameters including pulp volume,the ratio of pulp volume to hard tissue volume,and the ratio of pulp volume to tooth volume.Con-clusion Pulp volume and pulp volume proportion are closely related to age.The application of CBCT-based machine learning methods can provide more accurate age estimation results,which lays a founda-tion for further CBCT-based deep learning dental age estimation research.
