Psoriasis is an incurable chronic inflammatory disease that requires new interventions. Here, we found that fibroblasts exacerbate psoriasis progression by promoting macrophage recruitment via CCL2 secretion by single-cell multi-omics analysis. The natural small molecule celastrol was screened to interfere with the secretion of CCL2 by fibroblasts and improve the psoriasis-like symptoms in both murine and cynomolgus monkey models. Mechanistically, celastrol directly bound to the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) β-chain and abolished its binding to the transcription factor c-Jun in the nucleus, which in turn inhibited CCL2 production by skin fibroblasts, blocked fibroblast-macrophage crosstalk, and ameliorated psoriasis progression. Notably, fibroblast-specific LRP1 knockout mice exhibited a significant reduction in psoriasis like inflammation. Taken together, from clinical samples and combined with various mouse models, we revealed the pathogenesis of psoriasis from the perspective of fibroblast-macrophage crosstalk, and provided a foundation for LRP1 as a novel potential target for psoriasis treatment.

Objective To analyze the characteristics of the crown-root ratios of the anterior teeth in subjects with different periodontal phenotypes in healthy population.Methods A total of 100 periodontally healthy young volunteers were selected,there were 53 females and 47 males,totaling 594 anterior teeth were included in the study.The periodontal probe method was used to determine the periodontal phenotypes of different tooth positions,with 108 cases of thick gingival type and 90 cases of thin gingival type in mesial incisors;95 teeth of thick gingival type and 103 teeth of thin gingival type in lateral incisors,and 98 teeth of thick gingival type and 100 teeth of thin gingival type in cuspids.Panoramic radiographs were taken,crown length and root length of upper anterior teeth were calculated,and crown-root ratio was calculated,to compare and analyze the differences between the results of the two groups.Results The crown-to-root ratio in thin gingival group of mesial incisors and lateral incisors were higher than those in thick gingival group,and the root length was smaller than thick gingival group.The difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The keratinized gingival width of thin gingival group was less than that of thick gingival group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The relatively high crown-to-root ratio of mesial incisors and lateral incisors in patients with thin gingival phenotypes and the lesser width of keratinized gingiva in thin gingival phenotypes than thick gingival phenotypes.and risk assessment should be taken into account in the restorative system as well as in the orthodontic design of the anterior tooth movement.

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study is to measuring the morphology and position of bilateral temporomandibular joints in patients with unilateral and bilateral molar scissor bite and simulating the deformation of the mandible during occlusion, in order to provide thesis for the diagnosis of temporomandibular joint disease in patients with unilateral and bilateral molar scissor bite. METHODS: This study was a retrospective study. A total of 10 patients with unilateral molar scissor bite (the unilateral molar scissor bite group) and 10 patients with bilateral molar scissor bite (the bilateral molar scissor bite group) were selected as the experimental group, and 20 adult patients with classⅠ of angle classification of similar ages were selected as the control group. All patients underwent cone beam computed tomography scans, by measuring the width of the fossa, height of the fossa, articular eminence inclination, long axis of the condyle, minor axis of the condyle, horizontal angle of the condyle and the space of the temporomandibular joint, compare temporomandibular joint morphology and position. The three-dimensional finite element analysis of the mandible morphology was carried out to evaluate the force and deformation of the mandible by using software to simulate the occlusion of the patients. It was further explored the relationship between the force of the mandible morphology and the possible temporomandibular joint disorder symptoms of the patients. RESULTS: Intergroup comparisons for the unilateral molar scissor bite group and left sides of the other groups revealed that the superior articular space in the group with unilateral molar scissor bite was shorter than that in the control group (P<0.05); the long axis of the condyle in the unilateral and bilateral molar scissor bite group were both shorter than that of the control group (P<0.05); among which the unilateral group was larger than the bilateral group, and the minor axis of the condyle in bilateral molar scissor bite group was smaller than in the control group (P<0.05), and the unilateral and bilateral condylar groups were larger than the control group (P<0.05); and the condylar horizontal angle in the unilateral and bilateral groups were larger than that in the control group (P<0.05). The normal sides of the unilateral molar scissor bite group and right sides of the other groups had smaller superior articular space than the control group (P<0.05); and the condylar long-axis in bilateral group was smaller than the control group (P<0.05); and the normal side of the condylar short-axis unilateral group was larger than that of the bilateral condylar group. Three-dimensional finite element analysis: the condyle of patients with molar scissor bite was a concentrated area of deformation during the bite of the mandible, when the first molar occlusion of the scissors bite side was simulated, the maximum deformation was located in the condyle in the X-axis and Z-axis directions. The amount of deformation was greater than that of the scissor bite side in the X-axis direction, while in the Z-axis direction, the normal side was greater than the scissor bite side. The maximum sites of local deformation in the X-axis direction were located in anterior and posterior the transverse crest of scissor bite side, and the minimum sites of local deformation was at 1/3 of the anterior slope of the inner pole of the normal side, the maximum local deformation sites in the Z-axis direction were located in the outer pole and below the outer pole of the normal side. The X-axis deformation value was the largest in the molars occlusion on the normal side, the Y-axis deformation value was in the premolars occlusion on the normal side, and the Z-axis deformation value was the largest in the centric occlusion, the deformation value of the condyle was not most significant in molar scissor bite. CONCLUSIONS Unilateral and bilateral molar scissor bite resulting in a short condyle morphology, and the bilateral group had a shorter condylar morphology than the unilateral group. The condyle of the patient with molar scissor bite is a concentrated area of poor occlusal deformation, and the largest sites of deformation are distributed near the transverse ridge of the inner and outer poles of the condyle. Different occlusion conditions have an effect on condylar deformation values, but do not indicate whether there is a clear association between them.

Patients with skeletal ClassⅡ often show symptoms such as protrusion of maxillary anterior teeth,mandibular retraction,open lips and teeth,deep overbite,and deep overjet,which seriously affect the facial appearance.This article reports a case of an ado-lescent male patient with skeletal Class Ⅱ combined with impacted teeth treated by one-stage early correction and two-stage fixation.After treatment,the patient's skeletal Class Ⅱ symptoms improved significantly,including the improvement of mandibular retraction.The problem of open lips and teeth was solved;the facial appearance tended to be straight,and there was no obvious abnormality of the temporomandibular joint.This case shows that early correction can achieve good therapeutic effects on this kind of patients and can avoid or reduce the possibility of orthognathic surgery for these patients in adulthood.

Objective:To investigate the safety and efficacy of short-segment fixation covering the fractured vertebrae via posterior intermuscular approach plus percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) through the outer upper edge of the base of the fractured vertebral pedicle in the treatment of osteoporotic thoracolumbar burst fracture.Methods:A retrospective case series study was used to analyze the clinical data of 56 patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar burst fracture admitted to Ningbo No.6 Hospital from January 2018 to February 2021, including 24 males and 32 females; aged 56-72 years [(63.5±4.6)years]. All patients underwent short-segment fixation covering the fractured vertebrae via posterior intermuscular approach combined with PKP through the outer upper edge of the base of the fractured vertebral pedicle. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospitalization day and surgery-related complications were recorded. The visual analogue score (VAS) of back pain, ratios of the anterior, middle and posterior height of the fractured vertebrae and kyphotic Cobb angle were compared before operation, at postoperative 2 days and at the final follow-up.Results:All patients were followed up for 12-28 months [(14.5±2.2)months]. The operation time was 55-85 minutes [(62.0±12.1)minutes], intraoperative blood loss was 80-150 ml [(94.0±18.5)ml], and hospitalization day was 5-9 days [(7.4±1.1)days]. Based on CT examination at postoperative 2 days, there were 2 patients with paravertebral cement leakage, 2 with intervertebral space leakage and 1 with intracanal leakage, but none reported associated clinical symptoms. No implant failure or fractures of adjacent segments was detected during the follow-up period. The VAS was significantly decreased from preoperative (7.5±1.2)points to (3.2±0.8)points at postoperative 2 days ( P<0.01), and the score was further lowered to (2.2±0.8)points at the final follow-up when compared with that at postoperative 2 days ( P<0.01). The ratios of the anterior, middle and posterior height of the fractured vertebrae and kyphotic Cobb angle were significantly improved at postoperative 2 days [(89.5±13.2)%, (85.8±7.9)%, (89.5±9.0)% and (5.6±3.2)°] when compared with those before operation [(48.9±11.8)%, (61.9±11.9)%, (79.9±9.8)% and (26.3±5.6)°] (all P<0.01). Slight losses were observed in the ratios of the anterior, middle and posterior height of the fractured vertebrae and kyphotic Cobb angle at the final follow-up [(87.0±12.7)%, (82.1±7.8)%, (88.6±10.0)% and (5.4±3.2)°], but not significantly different from those at postoperative 2 days (all P>0.05). Conclusion:Short-segment fixation covering the fractured vertebrae via posterior intermuscular approach plus PKP through the outer upper edge of the base of the fractured vertebral pedicle can safely and effectively treat osteoporotic thoracolumbar burst fracture, for it can significantly improve back pain, restore the height of the fractured vertebrae and correct the kyphotic deformity.
