Objective :
To investigate the effect of different decontamination methods, including photodynamic therapy, sandblasting and titanium curette, on titanium surface morphology and bacterial adhesion for the treatment of peri-implant disease.
Methods:
Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) and Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) were inoculated on the surface of polished titanium specimens, and titanium specimen surfaces were treated with different decontamination methods after incubation. The titanium specimens were divided into a no-treatment control group, photodynamic group, sandblasting group and titanium curette group according to different decontamination methods. The changes in titanium surface roughness were observed by atomic force microscopy (AFM), and the remaining bacteria on the titanium surface were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and live/dead bacteria staining tests. After reinoculation of Pg and Fn, bacterial readhesion was observed on the surface of decontaminated titanium specimens.
Results :
The AFM results showed that the surface roughness of the titanium curette group was significantly higher than that of the no-treatment control group, photodynamic group and sandblasting group (P<0.05), and there was no statistically significant difference between the no-treatment control group, photodynamic group and sandblasting group (P>0.05). The results of contact angle measurement showed that the surface contact angle of each treatment group was smaller than that of the no-treatment control group (P<0.05). The SEM results obtained after the titanium specimen surface was decontaminated showed that the number of bacteria on the no-treatment control group surface was higher and the bacteria were relatively concentrated. The bacteria on the surface of the photodynamic group, sandblasting group and titanium curette group were scattered and distributed in small numbers, and most bacteria on the surface of the photodynamic group were ruptured. The results of the live/dead bacteria staining experiment showed that the percentage of dead bacteria on the surface of the photodynamic group was significantly higher than that of the no-treatment control group, sandblasting group and titanium curette group (P<0.05). The remaining bacteria on the surface of the sandblasting group and titanium curette groups were mainly live bacteria. The remaining bacterial adhesion on the surface was significantly reduced for the sandblasting group compared to the no-treatment control group and the photodynamic and titanium curette groups (P<0.05). SEM and live/dead bacteria staining results of bacterial readhesion on the surface of titanium specimens showed that there was an aggregation of Pg on the surface of the titanium curette group, and its surface bacterial adhesion was significantly higher than that of the no-treatment control group, photodynamic group and sandblasting group.
Conclusion
In mechanical decontamination, sandblasting machines are a better option than photodynamic therapy and titanium curettes; however, sandblasting does not remove all bacterial contamination. For sterilization, photodynamic therapy is more effective than sandblasting and titanium curettes. A combination of sandblasting and photodynamic therapy methods for the treatment of peri-implant disease may be considered in clinical practice.

Objective:To explore the changes of left atrial volume and function in patients with early diabetic nephropathy by four-dimensional auto left atrial quantification (4D Auto LAQ).Methods:Forty patients with early diabetic nephropathy (early diabetic nephropathy group), 40 patients with type 2 diabetes (diabetes group) in Henan Provincial People′s Hospital from March 2020 to April 2021 were selected, and 36 healthy volunteers (control group) were collected during the same period. The parameters of conventional echocardiography were measured, and the four-dimensional volume probe was used to obtain the complete left atrial volume image in 5 cardiac cycles. The 4D Auto LAQ software on the EchoPAC workstation was used for analysis to obtain the left atrial volume and strain indicators: left atrial (LA) maximum volume (LAVmax), left atrial minimum volume (LAVmin), pre-systolic volume (LAVpreA), left atrial volume index (LAVImax), left atrial emptying volume (LAEV), left atrial emptying fraction (LAEF), and long axis and circumferential strains in left atrial reserve phase, pipeline phase and systolic phase (LASr, LASr-c; LAScd, LAScd-c; LASct, LASct-c). The differences of these parameters among 3 groups were analyzed.Results:There were no significant differences in interventricular septum end-diastolic thickness(IVSd), left ventricular posterior wall end-diastolic thickness(LVPWd), left ventricular end-diastolic dimension(LVIDd), left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF), and E/A (ration of early to late diastolic peak flow velocity of mitral orifice) among 3 groups (all P>0.05), and left atrial diameter(LAD), relative wall thickness(RWT), and E/e′ (ration of early diastolic peak flow velocity of mitral orifice to early diastolic velocity of lateral mitral annulus) among 3 groups were significantly different (all P<0.05). Further pairwise comparison results showed that LAD was only significantly different between the early diabetic nephropathy group and control group ( P=0.001 2), and the differences in RWT and E/e′ were statistically significant among 3 groups (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences in LAEV, LAScd-c, and LASct-c among 3 groups (all P>0.05), and LAVmin, LAVmax, LAVpreA, LAVImax, LAEF, LASr, LAScd, LASct, and LASr-c among the 3 groups were significantly different (all P<0.05). The pairwise comparison showed that, compared with the control group and the diabetes group, LAVmin, AVpreA, and LAVImax in the early diabetic nephropathy group were increased, and LAEF, LAScd, LASct, and LASr-c were decreased (all P<0.05). Compared with the control group, LAVmax, LAVImax and LASct in the diabetes group were increased, and LAEF, LAScd, and LASr-c were decreased (all P<0.05). Conclusions:4D Auto LAQ technology can quantitatively evaluate the changes in left atrium volume and function in patients with early diabetic nephropathy. Patients with early diabetic nephropathy have an increase in left atrium volume and a decrease in strain value.

Objective:To establish a long-term mortality rate prediction model for patients aged 60 years and over with atrial fibrillation and coronary heart disease using the machine learning method, and identify the corresponding risk factors of mortality.Methods:In this retrospective cohort study, a total of 329(11 cases lost of follow-up)patients with 183 males(55.6%)and 146 females(44.4%), aged(77.8±7.3)years, and 142 patients aged 80 years or older(43.2%)were selected in our hospitals from January 2013 to March 2015.And their clinical data on atrial fibrillation and coronary heart disease were analyzed.They were divided into the death group(151 cases)and the survival group(167 cases)according to the survival outcome.In addition, 60 patients aged 60 years and over admitted to our hospitals from April to July 2015 with atrial fibrillation and coronary heart disease were selected as external data validation set.The clinical data included age, gender, body mass index, diagnosis, co-morbidity, laboratory indicators, electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, treatment data.These patients were followed up for at least 6 years, and the main adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events(MACCE), including death, were recorded.Finally, the data of the enrolled patients were randomly divided into the training set and the test set according to the ratio of 9∶1, Different models were established to predict the long-term mortality of patients with atrial fibrillation and coronary heart disease by machine learning algorithm.The optimal model was established by substituting external data(60 cases)into the model for verification and comparison.The top 20 risk factors for mortality were determined by Shapley additive explanation(SHAP)algorithm.Results:A total of 329 hospitalized patients were included in this study, the overall median follow-up time was 77.0 months(95% CI: 54.0~84.0), 11 cases lost during follow-up(3.3%), and 151 cases died(45.9%). The analysis found that the areas under the ROC curve for a support vector machine(SVM)model, k-Nearest Neighbor(KNN)model, decision tree model, random forest model, ADABoost model, XGBoost model and logistic regression model were 0.76, 0.75, 0.75, 0.91, 0.86, 0.85 and 0.81, respectively.The random forest model had the highest prediction efficiency, with the accuracy of 0.789 and F1 value of 0.806, which was better than the logistic regression model[the Area Under Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve(AUC): 0.91 vs.0.81, P<0.05]. D-dimer, age, number of MACCE, left ventricular ejection fraction, serum albumin level, anemia, New York Heart Association(NYHA)grade, history of old myocardial infarction, estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)and resting heart rate were important risk factors for predicting long-term mortality. Conclusions:The random forest model based on machine learning method can predict the long-term mortality of patients with atrial fibrillation and coronary heart disease aged 60 years and over, have a good identification ability.Its accuracy is higher than that of the traditional Logistic regression model.Reducing the long-term mortality and improving the long-term outcomes can be achieved by intervening on D-dimer levels, correcting hypoproteinemia and anemia, improving cardiac function and controlling resting ventricular rates.

Objective:To observe the effect of early temperature control on the prognosis of brain injury patients after severe carbon monoxide poisoning (COP).Methods:A total of 277 patients hospitalized with severe COP were randomly divided into a fever group ( n=78), a normal temperature group ( n=113) and a mild hypothermia group ( n=86). All were given hyperbaric oxygen therapy and any necessary supportive treatment. The mild hypothermia group were kept in a room at 34 to 35℃. Evaluation was with the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), version II of the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE), the Hasegawa dementia scale (HDS) and the mini mental state examination (MMSE). The incidence of delayed encephalopathy (DEACMP) and mortality were compared among the three groups. The bispectral index (BIS) and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) levels were correlated with DEACMP. Results:After the treatments, improvement was observed in multiple indexes of all three groups compared with before the treatment. Compared with the fever group, the average GCS of the mild hypothermia group was significantly higher on the 2nd, 4th, 8th and 31st day after the intervention. It was significantly higher than the normal temperature group′s averages on the 4th, 8th and 31st day. The average APACHE scores of the normal temperature and the mild hypothermia groups were significantly lower than the fever group′s average, with that of the mild hypothermia group significantly lower than that of the normal group. The average HDS scores of the normal temperature and mild hypothermia groups were significantly higher than the fever group′s average, with that of the mild hypothermia group significantly higher than that of the normal group. The average MMSE score of the mild hypothermia group was significantly improved after 7 days, one month and three months of treatment. That of the normal group showed significant improvement after one and three months, but the mild hypothermia group′s averages were superior. Compared with the fever group, the average BIS score of the mild hypothermia group was significantly better after one, three and seven days, and one month. This was true for the normal group beyond three days after the intervention. The average NSE concentration of the normal group after 7 days and one month was significantly lower than that of the fever group. For the mild hypothermia group this was true after only 3 days. Compared with the other two groups, the average coma time, incidence of DEACMP and nervous system injury were significantly lower in the hypothermia group. The average GCS, BIS and NSE values were closely related to the occurrence of DEACMP.Conclusions:Early temperature control can significantly reduce the severity of brain injury after COP and reduce the incidence of neurological sequelae. Early dynamic detection of GCS, NSE concentration and BIS is of great significance for predicting the incidence of DEACMP.

As a serine hydrolase, monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) is principally responsible for the metabolism of 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) in the central nervous system (CNS), leading to the formation of arachidonic acid (AA). Dysfunction of MAGL has been associated with multiple CNS disorders and symptoms, including neuroinflammation, cognitive impairment, epileptogenesis, nociception and neurodegenerative diseases. Inhibition of MAGL provides a promising therapeutic direction for the treatment of these conditions, and a MAGL positron emission tomography (PET) probe would greatly facilitate preclinical and clinical development of MAGL inhibitors. Herein, we design and synthesize a small library of fluoropyridyl-containing MAGL inhibitor candidates. Pharmacological evaluation of these candidates by activity-based protein profiling identified
