Enamel demineralization, the formation of white spot lesions, is a common issue in clinical orthodontic treatment. The appearance of white spot lesions not only affects the texture and health of dental hard tissues but also impacts the health and aesthetics of teeth after orthodontic treatment. The prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of white spot lesions that occur throughout the orthodontic treatment process involve multiple dental specialties. This expert consensus will focus on providing guiding opinions on the management and prevention of white spot lesions during orthodontic treatment, advocating for proactive prevention, early detection, timely treatment, scientific follow-up, and multidisciplinary management of white spot lesions throughout the orthodontic process, thereby maintaining the dental health of patients during orthodontic treatment.

AIM:To compare the effect of AT TORBI 709M and Tecnis ZMT intraocular lenses on astigmatism correction in patients with corneal astigmatism at 3 mo after operation based on the standard astigmatism vector analysis.METHODS: This was a retrospective case-control study. The clinical data of 69 patients(69 eyes)with corneal astigmatism who underwent phacoemulsification and implantation of toric intraocular lens(IOL)from June 2021 to December 2021 in Day Surgery Center of Xi'an No.1 Hospital was analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups. In group one, 38 cases(38 eyes)were implanted with AT TORBI 709M, and 31 patients(31 eyes)with Tecnis ZMT in group two. The axial length, preoperative astigmatism and axis, and the degree of intraocular lens were recorded. The uncorrected distance visual acuity(UCDVA), best corrected distance visual acuity(BCDVA), diopter, residual astigmatism and axis were recorded preoperatively and at 1 wk, 1 and 3 mo postoperatively. The postoperative surgical indicators, including spherical equivalent(SE), target induced astigmatism vector(TIA), surgically induced astigmatism vector(SIA), magnitude of error(ME), absolute value of angle of error(|AE|), absolute value of difference vector(|DV|), correction index(CI), and index of success(IOS)were evaluated by the standard astigmatism vector analysis.RESULTS:Postoperative UCDVA and BCDVA were significantly improved(all P<0.001), and there were statistically significant differences compared to preoperative UCDVA and BCDVA(all P<0.001). While, there was no significant difference in UCDVA and BCDVA between the two groups(P=0.275, 0.124). The standard astigmatism vector analysis showed that a good astigmatism correction was achieved in both AT TORBI 709M group and Tecnis ZMT group, and both |DV| and IOS were close to 0(P=0.329, 0.288). The CI of the AT TORBI 709M group was closer to 1, indicating a better astigmatism correction, while the CI of the Tecnis ZMT group was higher than 1, suggesting an overcorrection of astigmatism. However, the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant(P=0.193). The mean residual astigmatism at 3 mo postoperatively was -0.11±0.91 D in the AT TORBI 709M group and -0.46±0.76 D in the Tecnis ZMT group, respectively, showing no statistically significance difference(t=1.732, P=0.088).CONCLUSION:Both the flat loop AT TORBI 709M and the double C-loop Tecnis ZMT intraocular lenses can effectively improve postoperative visual acuity in patients with regular corneal astigmatism, showing good rotational stability and comparable correction abilities for both astigmatism with the rule and against-the-rule astigmatism.

Cervical gastric-type adenocarcinoma is a rare subtype of HPV-independent mucinous adenocarcinoma of the cervix. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of a patient admitted to Jiangxi Maternal and Child Health Hospital who presented with a giant ovarian tumor as the initial symptom of cervical gastric-type mucinous adenocarcinoma. The patient underwent cytoreductive surgery for presumed ovarian cancer, during which cervical gastric-type mucinous adenocarcinoma with widespread abdominal metastasis was incidentally discovered. Postoperative platinum-based chemotherapy resulted in complete remission, and follow-up to date shows no evidence of disease recurrence. This malignancy has an insidious onset and is challenging to diagnose preoperatively, often leading to delayed treatment. However, complete remission was achieved through surgery and chemotherapy, demonstrating significant therapeutic efficacy.

Objective To analyze the computed tomography(CT)imaging features of urachal carcinoma and evaluate its diagnostic value.Methods The clinical data of 20 patients with urachal carcinoma confirmed by surgery and pathology,who were admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from Dec.2012 to Dec.2022,were collected.Seventeen of the 20 patients underwent enhanced CT urography and 3 underwent pelvic CT plain scan+enhanced scan.After scanning,multiplanar reconstruction was performed on the post-processing workstation.The general data,clinical symptoms,CT imaging findings,pathological data,and prognosis of the patients were analyzed and summarized.Results The patients included 16 males and 4 females,aged 27 to 75 years old,with a median age of 61.50(41.50,71.25)years old.The tumors were all located in the anterior wall of the bladder,along the urachus,with a maximum diameter of 1.72-5.55 cm and a median maximum diameter of 3.34(2.48,3.71)cm.Fourteen cases had cystic-solid lesions and 6 had solid lesions.In the cystic-solid lesions,9 cases showed the"upper cystic and lower solid"sign on the sagittal plane.Calcification was noted in 17 cases.After enhanced scanning,18 cases showed progressive enhancement,and 2 cases showed"fast in and fast out"enhancement.Tumor invasion extended beyond the urachus and/or bladder muscle layer in 19 cases.At the end of follow-up,3 cases had recurrence,2 had metastasis,5 had no recurrence after surgery,3 died,and 7 were lost to follow-up.Conclusion Urachal carcinoma has certain characteristic manifestations on CT imaging.Reconstructing the sagittal plane with enhanced CT scanning and multiplanner reformation can help preoperative diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of urachal carcinoma.

Objective To explore the risk signals of niraparib and provide references for rational and safe clinical medication.Methods Niraparib-related adverse drug events(ADEs)reports from Q1 2017 to Q2 2023 were extracted from the US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System(FAERS)database.Risk signals were identified using the reporting odds ratio(ROR),proportional reporting ratio(PRR),Bayesian confidence propagation neural network(BCPNN),and multi-item gamma Poisson shrinker(MGPS)methods.The Risk signals were described and classified by preferred system organ classes(SOCs)and preferred terms(PTs)from the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities(MedDRA)version 26.1,and the occurrence of niraparib-related ADEs was also analyzed.Results A total of 16,961 ADE reports with niraparib as the primary suspected drug were extracted.Through screening and analysis,32 PTs were identified involving 11 SOCs,which were largely consistent with the information in the drug label.However,suspicious signals not mentioned in the label,including neuropathy peripheral,decreased red blood cell count,reduced hematocrit,dehydration,and hot flashes,require further attention.The median occurrence time was 22 days(IQR 2-98 days),and the Weibull distribution test indicated an early failure-type curve.Conclusion When using niraparib,particularly in early stages of treatment,it is essential to monitor not only the ADEs mentioned in the drug instructions,such as decreased platelet count,nausea and fatigue,but also to pay close attention to the ADEs not included in the instructions,such as peripheral neuropathy and decreased red blood cell count,which exhibit strong signal values,to ensure patient medication safety.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors of early-onset severe preeclampsia complicated with placental abruption and construct a prediction model.Methods:The medical records of 100 patients with early-onset severe preeclampsia admitted to the Wuxi Maternity and Child Health Hospital from January 2022 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into the abruption group (33 cases) and non-abruption group (67 cases) according to the presence of placental abruption. Clinical data of the two groups were compared, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors for placental abruption, based on which a nomogram prediction model was established. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and calibration curve were used to evaluate the model. Additionally, the impact of the severity of placental abruption on maternal and infant outcomes was analyzed.Results:There were no statistically significant differences in age, gestational age at diagnosis, low gestational weight gain, short umbilical cord, abnormal amniotic fluid, or history of abortion between the two groups (all P>0.05). Statistically significant differences were observed in gestational age at delivery, thrombomodulin (TM), placental growth factor (PLGF), placental pathological changes, and proportion of hereditary thrombotic diseases between the two groups (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that smaller gestational age at delivery, higher TM level, lower PLGF level, presence of placental pathological changes, and complicated hereditary thrombotic diseases were associated with a higher risk of placental abruption. The prediction curve of the nomogram model was basically consistent with the calibration curve, showing good discriminative ability. The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.979(95% CI: 0.956, 1.000), with a sensitivity of 93.9%, specificity of 92.5%, and Youden index of 0.864. In patients with severe placental abruption, adverse maternal and infant outcomes increased significantly, including perinatal death and maternal massive hemorrhage. Conclusions:Gestational age, TM, PLGF, placental pathological changes, and hereditary thrombotic diseases are important factors affecting early-onset severe preeclampsia complicated with placental abruption. The constructed prediction model has high predictive efficiency, which can be used for early clinical identification of high-risk patients and timely intervention to reduce the risk of adverse maternal and infant outcomes.

Objective:To develop rat models of oral mucosa ulcer using distinct experimental methodologies,fulfilling research requirements and adhering to the ethical standards for animal care.Methods:96 SD rats were randomly allocated into groups.The rats in control group(n=8)were regularly fed without other treatment.Those in chemical cauterization groups were treated by 20％,40％,60％of glacial acetic acid(GAA)on oral mucosa(n=8);in mechanical damage groups by 30 000 r/min high speed drill induced trauma of 10,20 and 30 mm2 respectively(n=8);in ionizing radiation groups were treated with 10,12,15,20 and 30 Gy on the mucosa respectively(n=8).After the ulcer was appeared,the morphology of the mucosa were observed,the mucosal tissue lesions were examined by HE,Masson and immunofluorescence staining,the expression of TNF-α and IL-1β were detected by qPCR and ELISA respectively,and the body conditions such as diet and body weight of the rats were observed,the pain,dis-tress and discomfor of the rats were evaluated by MORTON&Griffits Guidelines.Results:40％and 60％GAA,20 mm2 and 30 mm2 friction damage and ionizing radiation of 12 Gy or greater may induce oral mucosa ulcer with a diseas coruse of 6-7 d in SD rats.TNF-α and IL-1β mRNA expression in the damaged tissue,the related protein expression in blood serum of the rats were in-creased.MORTON&Griffits Guidelines analysis showed 40％GAA,20 mm2 friction damage and 12 Gy ionizing radiation induced the lowest scores of pain,distress and discomfort of the rats with compatible oral mocosa ulcere induced by the relevat treatment.Conclusion:40％GAA,20 mm2 of friction damage and 12 Gy of ionizing radiation can reliably establish oral mucosa ulcer models and minimize adverse effects on SD rats,and accord with ethical standards of 3R for laboratory animal.
