Cemental tear is a rare and indetectable condition unless obvious clinical signs present with the involvement of surrounding periodontal and periapical tissues. Due to its clinical manifestations similar to common dental issues, such as vertical root fracture, primary endodontic diseases, and periodontal diseases, as well as the low awareness of cemental tear for clinicians, misdiagnosis often occurs. The critical principle for cemental tear treatment is to remove torn fragments, and overlooking fragments leads to futile therapy, which could deteriorate the conditions of the affected teeth. Therefore, accurate diagnosis and subsequent appropriate interventions are vital for managing cemental tear. Novel diagnostic tools, including cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), microscopes, and enamel matrix derivatives, have improved early detection and management, enhancing tooth retention. The implementation of standardized diagnostic criteria and treatment protocols, combined with improved clinical awareness among dental professionals, serves to mitigate risks of diagnostic errors and suboptimal therapeutic interventions. This expert consensus reviewed the epidemiology, pathogenesis, potential predisposing factors, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of cemental tear, aiming to provide a clinical guideline and facilitate clinicians to have a better understanding of cemental tear.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the association between body mass index (BMI) and mortality based on the 10-year population-based multicenter prospective study. METHODS: A general population-based multicenter prospective study was conducted at four sites in rural China between 2013 and 2023. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models and restricted cubic spline analyses were used to assess the association between BMI and mortality. Stratified analyses were performed based on the individual characteristics of the participants. RESULTS: Overall, 19,107 participants with a sum of 163,095 person-years were included and 1,910 participants died. The underweight (< 18.5 kg/m ²) presented an increase in all-cause mortality (adjusted hazards ratio [ aHR] = 2.00, 95% confidence interval [ CI]: 1.66-2.41), while overweight (≥ 24.0 to < 28.0 kg/m ²) and obesity (≥ 28.0 kg/m ²) presented a decrease with an aHR of 0.61 (95% CI: 0.52-0.73) and 0.51 (95% CI: 0.37-0.70), respectively. Overweight ( aHR = 0.76, 95% CI: 0.67-0.86) and mild obesity ( aHR = 0.72, 95% CI: 0.59-0.87) had a positive impact on mortality in people older than 60 years. All-cause mortality decreased rapidly until reaching a BMI of 25.7 kg/m ² ( aHR = 0.95, 95% CI: 0.92-0.98) and increased slightly above that value, indicating a U-shaped association. The beneficial impact of being overweight on mortality was robust in most subgroups and sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSION This study provides additional evidence that overweight and mild obesity may be inversely related to the risk of death in individuals older than 60 years. Therefore, it is essential to consider age differences when formulating health and weight management strategies.

Objective: To investigate the effect of phosphatase and tensin homolog(PTEN) overexpression on autophagy in mouse primary cardiac fibroblasts. Methods: Neonatal mice(1-3 days old) were purchased and subjected to cardiac tissue harvesting. Cardiac fibroblasts were isolated through enzymatic digestion and cultured. After cellular adhesion, rapamycin(Rapa)-treated cardiac fibroblasts were used to establish an autophagy model. Following successful model construction, cells were transfected with eitherPTEN-overexpressing plasmid(PTENoverexpression group) or empty vector(control group), followed by 24-48 h incubation. The molecular expressions of PTEN, autophagy-related proteins [microtubule-associated protein light chain 3(LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ), Beclin1], and fibrotic marker collagen Ⅰ were detected by Western blot and RT-qPCR. Autophagic flux was assessed using mCherry-GFP-LC3 fluorescence staining to evaluate changes in autophagic activity. Transmission electron microscopy(TEM) was employed to observe autophagosome formation in cardiac fibroblasts. Results : In the Rapa-induced cardiac fibroblast autophagy model, compared with the control group, the protein and mRNA levels of PTEN significantly decreased(P<0.05), while the expression of autophagy-related proteins(LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ, Beclin1) and fibrotic marker Collagen Ⅰ was upregulated at both protein and mRNA levels(P<0.05). Additionally, in PTEN-overexpressing cardiac fibroblasts, the expression levels of LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ, Beclin1, and Collagen Ⅰ were markedly reduced compared to the empty vector group(P<0.05). mCherry-GFP-LC3 fluorescence staining demonstrated that autophagic activity was significantly attenuated in thePTENoverexpression group versus the empty vector group(P<0.05). TEM further revealed a decreased number of autophagosomes in PTEN-overexpressing cardiac fibroblasts(P<0.05). Conclusion The overexpression ofPTENsignificantly inhibits autophagy in cardiac fibroblasts, suggesting thatPTENmay be a key gene involved in regulating autophagy in cardiac fibroblasts.

Objective:To explore the related risk factors contributing to re-fracture after hip surgery in elderly patients.Methods:This retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 2 415 elderly individuals who underwent surgical treatment for hip fractures and were discharged from Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital between January 2016 and December 2021.Patients were grouped into re-fracture and non-re-fracture cohorts based on whether a second fracture occurred within three years after surgery.Demographics, clinical data, and postoperative functional rehabilitation outcomes of the two groups were collected, and univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were applied to identify the independent risk factors for re-fractures after surgery.Results:A total of 2, 000 patients who completed follow-up were included in the final analysis, aged 60~91 years, with a mean age of (75.4±8.2) years.Among them, 855 were male(42.75%), and the postoperative re-fracture incidence was 28.25% (565/2 000). Univariate analysis indicated that advanced age, fracture type at first onset, lower Harris scores, insufficient rehabilitation training, osteoporosis, diabetes, cerebrovascular disorders, visual impairment, and syncope were all significantly associated with re-fracture (all P<0.05), while gender differences were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Multivariate regression confirmed the following as independent risk factors: age ≥75 years, postoperative Harris score <80, non-standard rehabilitation training, combined osteoporosis, diabetes, cerebrovascular disease, visual impairment, and syncope ( OR、 RR>1). Conclusions:Elderly patients are prone to re-fracture after hip surgery, and its occurrence is closely related to advanced age, inadequate functional rehabilitation, osteoporosis, and multiple internal medical comorbidities.In clinical practice, attention should be paid to standardized postoperative rehabilitation, systematic anti-osteoporotic therapy, and active intervention of comorbidities to reduce the incidence of re-fracture and improve the long-term prognosis of patients.

A UC model was established by the administration of 2.5% dextran sulfate sodium （DSS） solution for mice in other groups for 7 d， except for the blank group. The mice in each group were treated with saline， Mesalazine， Shaoyaotang， inhibitor， and inhibitor + Shaoyaotang， respectively， for 7 d. The mice were necropsied 24 h after the last administration of the drug. The blood was collected from the orbital region， and colon tissue was taken. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe the pathological changes in colon tissue. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was employed to detect serum interleukin （IL）-10， IL-17， and IL-6 levels.

MethodsThe mouse model of ulcerative colitis was established by the dextran sulfate sodium （DSS） method. Forty-eight C57BL/6 mice were randomly allocated into normal， model， Western drug control （mesalazine， 0.39 g·kg^-1·d^-1）， Shaoyaotang （15.54 g·kg^-1·d^-1）， inhibitor （2-deoxy-D-glucose， 2-DG， 100 mg·kg^-1·d^-1）， and inhibitor （2-DG， 100 mg·kg^-1·d^-1） + Shaoyaotang （15.54 g·kg^-1·d^-1） groups. Mice were administrated with the corresponding drugs by gavage for 7 days. The general conditions and the colon injury degree were observed 24 h after the last administration. The expression of interleukin （IL）-10 and IL-17 in the colon tissue was detected by immunohistochemical staining. Western blot and Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） were performed to determine the protein and mRNA levels， respectively， of hypoxia-inducing factor-1α （HIF-1α）， lactate dehydrogenase （LDHA）， and hexokinase 2 （HK2） in the colon tissue. Th17/Treg cell differentiation was detected by flow cytometry. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to measure the levels of lactic acid and glucose in the colon tissue and IL-10， IL-17， and IL-6 in the serum. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the model group showed decreases in body weight and disease activity index （DAI） （P<0.05）， elevations in levels of HIF-1α， LDHA， HK2， IL-17， IL-6， Th17 cells， lactic acid， and glucose in the colon tissue （P<0.05）， and declines in the levels of of IL-10 and Treg cells （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， the drug administration groups showed increases in body weight and DAI （P<0.05）， declines in levels of HIF-1α， LDHA， HK2， IL-17， IL-6， Th17 cells， lactic acid， and glucose in the colon tissue （P<0.05）， and rises in levels of IL-10 and Treg cells （P<0.05）. Shaoyaotang+2-DG group had the most obvious effect. ConclusionShaoyaotang can relieve diarrhea and bloody stool in mice with ulcerative colitis by restoring the Th17/Treg cell balance via regulation of glucose metabolism reprogramming， thus playing a role in the treatment of ulcerative colitis.

ObjectiveTo explore the regulation of Shaoyaotang on glucose metabolism reprogramming of macrophages and the mechanism of this decoction in inhibiting macrophage polarization toward the M1 phenotype. MethodsHuman monocytic leukemia-1 （THP-1） cells were treated with 100 ng·L^-1 phorbol myristate acetate for induction of macrophages as the normal control group. The cells treated with 100 ng·L^-1 lipopolysaccharide combined with 20 ng·L^-1 interferon （IFN）-γ for induction of M1-type macrophages were taken as the M1 model group. M1-type macrophages were treated with the blank serum， Shaoyaotang-containing serum， 0.5 mol·L^-1 2-deoxy-D-glucose （2-DG）， and Shaoyaotang-containing serum + 2-DG， respectively. After intervention， the expression of CD86 and CD206 was examined by flow cytometry. The levels of interleukin （IL）-6， tumor necrosis factor （TNF）-α， IL-10， and transforming growth factor （TGF）-β were assessed by ELISA. Real-time PCR and Western blot were employed to determine the mRNA and protein levels， respectively， of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha （HIF-1α）， glucose transporter 1 （GLUT1）， hexokinase 2 （HK2）， glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase （GAPDH）， and 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2，6-bisphosphatase 3 （PFKFB3）. ResultsCompared with that in the normal control group， the expression of CD86， the marker of M1-type macrophages， increased in the M1 model group and blank serum group （P<0.01）， which indicated that the M1 inflammatory model was established successfully. In addition， the M1 model group was observed with up-regulated mRNA and protein levels of proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α and glycolysis-related factors HIF-1α， GLUT1， HK2， GAPDH， and PFKFB3 （P<0.01）. Compared with the M1 model group， the Shaoyaotang-containing serum， 2-DG， and combined intervention groups showed decreased expression of CD86 （P<0.01）， down-regulated mRNA and protein levels of proinflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α and glycolysis-related factors HIF-1α， GLUT1， HK2， GAPDH， and PFKFB3 produced by M1-type macrophages （P<0.01）， increased expression of CD206 （marker of M2-type macrophages） （P<0.01）， and elevated levels of IL-10 and TGF-β produced by M2-type macrophages （P<0.01）. ConclusionShaoyaotang inhibits macrophage differentiation toward pro-inflammatory M1-type macrophages and promotes the differentiation toward anti-inflammatory M2-type macrophages by regulating glucose metabolism reprogramming. The evidence gives insights into new molecular mechanisms and targets for the treatment of ulcerative colitis with Shaoyaotang.
