Early diagnosis and therapy of the periodontitis are crucial for the prognosis.Although the latest international classification of periodontal diseases and peri-implant diseases in 2018 can improve the accuracy of diagnosis and reduce the misdiagnosis and missed diagnoses,it is extremely complex in practice.At present,the application of artificial intelligence in the field of dentistry is becoming more and more extensive,which has good performance in detecting tooth types and periodontal bone loss.The use of artificial intelli-gence to detect periodontal lesions and calculate periodontitis staging and grading,and guide clinical personalized and precise treatment has become a hot topic of current research.This paper summarizes and analyzes the current research status of artificial intelligence in periodontal radiographic diagnosis,and provides ideas for further research.

IGF-1 is involved in the growth and development of mammals,but its role in sebaceous gland excretion,B16 cell proliferation,and migration in the skin has not been reported yet.This study aims to reveal the function of IGF-1 by detecting its expression in animal skin.Using nano-body screening and purification methods,IGF-1 nanobodies(IGF-1-VHH)were obtained.Using IGF-1-VHH as the primary antibody,Western blot and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression of IGF-1 in bovine skin and alpaca acne.IGF-1-VHH was added to melanoma B16 cell culture medium,and CCK-8 and scratch healing methods were used to detect the effects of IGF-1 nanobodies on B16 cell proliferation and migration,as well as their possible molecular mech-anisms.The results showed that the obtained IGF-1-VHH could be applied in immunohistochemis-try and Western blot detection methods,with strong IGF-1 positive expression signals in bovine sebaceous glands and alpaca acne.IGF-1-VHH binds to IGF-1 in cells and has a certain inhibitory effect on the proliferation and migration of B16 cells by regulating the expression of RAS,ERK,and RAF.In summary,IGF-1 maybe involved in the secretion and excretion of sebum in animal skin.IGF-1-VHH inhibits the proliferation and migration of B16 cells by binding to IGF-1,provi-ding a new theoretical basis for ensuring normal physiological function of the skin and clinical di-agnosis and treatment of melanoma.

Objective To investigate whether quercetin inhibits pyroptosis of mouse fibroblast NIH-3T3 cells by regulating the NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD signaling pathway.Methods NIH-3T3 cells were treated with quercetin or MCC950(a specific inhibitor of NLRP3)before stimulation with lipopolysaccharide(LPS)and ATP to induce cell pyroptosis.The optimal quercetin concentration and duration were screened using the CCK-8assay after testing various concentrations and times.Morphological changes of the treated cells was observed,and the levels of IL-18 and IL-1β in the cell culture supernatant were detected with ELISA;the protein expressions of NLRP3,cleaved caspase-1,and GSDMD-N and the mRNA levels of NLRP3,caspase-1 and GSDMD were detected using Western blotting and qRT-PCR.The changes in cell pyroptosis were examined with TUNEL staining and LDH release assay.Results The CCK-8 assay indicated that 24-hour treatment with 20 μmol/L quercetin yielded the most favorable results.LPS and ATP stimulation of NIH-3T3 cells induced obvious swelling,cell membrane rupture and leakage of cell contents,significantly increased IL-18 and IL-1β levels,and enhanced protein expressions of NLRP3,cleaved caspase-1 and GSDMD-N and mRNA levels of NLRP3,caspase-1 and GSDMD.LPS and ATP stimulation also caused a significant increment of TUNEL-positive cell counts and LDH release in NIH-3T3 cells.Treatment with quercetin or MCC950 significantly reduced cell pyroptosis induced by LPS and ATP,lowered the concentrations of IL-18 and IL-1β,decreased the expression levels of NLRP3,caspase-1/cleaved caspase-1,GSDMD/GSDMD-N,and reduced the number of TUNEL-positive cells and LDH release.Conclusion Quercetin suppresses pyroptosis of mouse fibroblasts stimulated with LPS and ATP and reduces secretion of inflammatory cytokines by inhibiting the NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD pathway.

The biosynthesis and maturation of proteins are primarily regulated by the endoplasmic reticulum in its physiological state. Thus, the disruption of physiological homeostasis initiates the buildup of unfolded and misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum, resulting in endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and unfolded protein response (UPR). One of the important pathways by which UPR maintains intracellular homeostasis under ERS is activating protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK). The activation of the PERK pathway stimulates eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit-α (eIF2α) phosphorylation and the selective translation of active transcription factor 4 (ATF4), and PERK induces cell apoptosis by directly binding to the promoter of pro-apoptotic transcription factor C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP). This signaling pathway is also one of the important mechanisms by which UPR participates in the regulation of hematological malignancies and immune cells in a tumor microenvironment. This article provides an overview of advancements in research into the PERK-eIF2α-ATF4-CHOP signaling pathway in hematological malignancies and the potential therapeutic benefits of targeting this signaling pathway.
