This consensus was developed by the Orthodontic Society of the Chinese Stomatological Association to provide a systematic, scientific, and practical guideline for informed consent in orthodontic care. Orthodontic treatment is typically lengthy, highly individualized, and involves multiple factors such as growth and development, occlusal function, and facial esthetics. Rapid technological advances and diverse risk profiles make the traditional reliance on orthodontist experience or institutional templates insufficient to ensure patients′ full understanding and autonomous decision-making. To address this, the expert panel conducted extensive reviews of domestic and international guidelines, analyzed representative dispute cases, and performed multicenter patient-clinician surveys. Using a multi-round Delphi method, the group established a standardized informed consent framework covering the initial consultation, treatment, and retention phases. The consensus emphasizes that informed consent is not only a fundamental legal and ethical requirement but also a key step in building trust, improving patient compliance, and enhancing treatment satisfaction. Orthodontists should clearly and comprehensively explain treatment plans, potential risks, uncertainties, and associated costs, while respecting the autonomy of patients or guardians, and maintain continuous communication and dynamic evaluation throughout the treatment process. The release of this consensus provides unified and authoritative guidance for clinical orthodontics, helping to standardize informed consent, enhance its transparency, safeguard patient rights, reduce medical risks, and promote high-quality, sustainable development of orthodontic practice.

Objective: This study examined the gut bacterial communities of dogs from different breeds, all kept under identical domestication conditions. Methods: Noninvasive sampling and 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing were used to compare the composition and function of the gut microbiota of three dog breeds: the Chinese Kunming dog (CKD), German Shepherd dog (GSD), and Belgian Malinois dog (BMD). Results: The gut microbiota of the three dog breeds consisted of 257 species across 146 genera, 60 families, 35 orders, 15 classes, and 10 phyla. The dominant bacterial phyla across the three breeds were Firmicutes (57.44%), Fusobacteriota (28.86%), and Bacteroidota (7.63%), while the dominant bacterial genera across the three breeds were Peptostreptococcus (21.08%), Fusobacterium (18.50%), Lactobacillus (12.37%), and Cetobacter (10.29%). Further analysis revealed significant differences in the intestinal flora of the three breeds at the phylum and genus levels. The intestinal flora of BMD was significantly richer than that of CKD and GSD. The functional prediction and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis showed that the primary functions of the gut microbiota in these breeds were similar, with significant enrichment in various metabolic pathways, including carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism, secondary metabolite biosynthesis, and microbial metabolism in different environments. The intestinal flora of these breeds also played a crucial role in genetic information processing, including transcription, translation, replication, and material transport. Conclusions and Relevance: These results provide novel insights into the intestinal flora of intervention dogs and suggest novel methods to improve their health status, which help increase microbial diversity and normalize metabolite production in diseased dogs.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the eff ect of silibinin on β cells in C57BL/6J mice fed a high-fat diet and the possible mechanisms. METHODS: A total of 18 male C57BL/6J mice at 3 weeks old were divided into a normal chow group (n=6), a high-fat diet group (n=6) and a high-fat diet plus silibinin group (n=6). Aft er intervention for 10 weeks, fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting insulin (FINS), triglycerides (TG), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN), lipid metabolism, antioxidant enzyme activities and apoptosis were evaluated. Pancreatic tissues were isolated to examine insulin-induced gene-1 (Insig-1), sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c) and fatty acid synthetase (FAS) mRNA and protein expression. RESULTS: Compared with the high-fat diet group, the function of insulin secretion was improved, and the level of blood glucose was decreased in the high-fat diet plus silibinin group (P<0.05). The levels of lipid content and oxidative stress and the rates of β cell apoptosis were lower in high-fat diet plus silibinin group than those in the high-fat diet group (both P<0.05). Simultaneously, the silibinin could promote the expression of Insig-1 and depress the expression of SREBP-1c and FAS (all P<0.05). Moreover, there was no significant difference in the levels of serum ALT, Cr and BUN among the 3 groups (all P>0.05). CONCLUSION Silibinin can protect β cells of mice fed a high-fat diet, and this effect might be related to, at least partially, increase in its antioxidative ability through regulation of insig-1/SREBP-1c pathway. Moreover, silibinin is safe for long-term treatment.
