Protrusive facial deformities, characterized by the forward displacement of the teeth and/or jaws beyond the normal range, affect a considerable portion of the population. The manifestations and morphological mechanisms of protrusive facial deformities are complex and diverse, requiring orthodontists to possess a high level of theoretical knowledge and practical experience in the relevant orthodontic field. To further optimize the correction of protrusive facial deformities, this consensus proposes that the morphological mechanisms and diagnosis of protrusive facial deformities should be analyzed and judged from multiple dimensions and factors to accurately formulate treatment plans. It emphasizes the use of orthodontic strategies, including jaw growth modification, tooth extraction or non-extraction for anterior teeth retraction, and maxillofacial vertical control. These strategies aim to reduce anterior teeth and lip protrusion, increase chin prominence, harmonize nasolabial and chin-lip relationships, and improve the facial profile of patients with protrusive facial deformities. For severe skeletal protrusive facial deformities, orthodontic-orthognathic combined treatment may be suggested. This consensus summarizes the theoretical knowledge and clinical experience of numerous renowned oral experts nationwide, offering reference strategies for the correction of protrusive facial deformities.

OBJECTIVE To explore the protective effects and potential mechanisms of Hirudo on mice with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD） in mice. METHODS The male ApoE－/－ mice were randomly divided into the model group and Hirudo low- dose and high-dose groups （0.45， 0.9 g/kg）， with 10 mice in each group； another 10 wild-type male C57BL/6J mice were chosen as the control group. The control group was fed with basal maintenance chow and the remaining groups were fed with high-fat chow for 12 weeks to establish the NAFLD model. Each administration group was given corresponding solution intragastrically， once a day， for 8 consecutive weeks. In the 13th week， the body weight and liver weight of mice in each group were measured after the last medication， and the liver index was calculated； the serum levels of nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF- α）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， IL-6， total cholesterol （TC）， triglyceride （TG）， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C） and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C） were detected； the liver pathomorphological changes were observed； the protein expressions of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ（PPARγ） and silence information regulator type 1 （SIRT1） were detected. RESULTS Compared with the control group， the liver tissue of mice in the model group showed more fat vacuoles and infiltration of inflammatory cells， with significant lipid accumulation； the body weight， liver weight and liver index of the mice， and serum levels of NF-κB， TNF-α， IL-1β， IL-6， TC， TG and LDL-C significantly increased， while the serum level of HDL-C， the protein expressions of PPARγ and SIRT1 in liver tissues significantly decreased （P＜0.01）. Compared with the model group， the pathological changes in liver tissue of mice were all relieved in Hirudo low-dose and high-dose groups； the body weight， liver weight and liver index， the serum levels of NF-κB， TNF-α， IL-1β， IL-6， TC， TG and LDL-C decreased significantly， while the serum level of HDL-C， the protein expressions of PPARγ and SIRT1 in liver tissue all increased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS Hirudo can regulate liver lipid metabolism and inhibit inflammation by activating the protein expressions of PPARγ and SIRT1， thus having a significant ameliorative effect on NAFLD.

Objective To explore the anti-atherosclerosis mechanism of Hirudo and its effect on autophagy in mice.Methods Forty healthy male ApoE-/-mice were randomly divided into model group,control group(3 × 10-3 g·kg-1·d-1 simvastatin)and experimental-L,experimental-M,experimental-H groups(0.45,0.9,1.8 g·kg-1· d-1,Maixuekang capsule).Eight healthy male C57BL/6J mice were divided into blank group.The mice were fed with common diet for 1 week.Then,except blank group,other groups were fed with high-fat diet.After 8 weeks of modeling,the atherosclerosis(AS)mice were given drugs orally once a day for 12 weeks,and fed with high-fat diet in the meantime.The levels of interleukin-6(IL-6),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in serum were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The levels of Beclin-1,LC3 autophagy protein were detected by Western blot method.Results The IL-6 contents in the experimental-H,experimental-M,experimental-L,control,model and blank groups were(107.59±3.03),(99.31±5.12),(103.52±2.28),(98.68±4.68),(112.66±6.08),(93.98±3.43)pg·mL-1;the TNF-α contents were(538.41±30.26),(504.49±21.51),(538.51±19.05),(494.05±25.08),(578.53±26.32),(467.35±21.53)pg·mL-1.For the above indexes,the differences between model group and experimental-H group,experimental-M group,experimental-L group,control group,blank group were all statistically significant(all P＜0.05).The Beclin-1 protein expression levels in the experimental-H,experimental-M,experimental-L,control and model groups were 1.48±0.05,1.72±0.05,1.19±0.02,1.51±0.04,0.66±0.03;the LC3 Ⅱ protein expression levels were 1.53±0.01,1.83±0.02,1.16±0.01,1.90±0.01,0.49±0.01,and the differences between model group and experimental-H group,experimental-M group,experimental-L group,control group were all statistically significant(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Hirudo can significantly reduce the area of atherosclerotic plaque by regulating the level of autophagy.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

AIM To investigate the protective effects of Tangtongyin on podocyte injury in rats with diabetic nephropathy(DN).METHODS The DN rat models established by feeding of high-fat and high-sugar diet combined with multiple injections of streptozotocin(STZ)were randomly divided into the model group,the irbesartan group(13.5 mg/kg)and the low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose Tangtongyin groups(930,1 860,3 720 mg/kg),in contrast to those normal rats of the blank group.In the 8 weeks consecutive administration,each group was intragastrically dosed with the corresponding drug once daily.The rats had their fasting blood glucose(FBG),24-hour urine protein(24-h UP),serum creatinine(Scr)and blood urea nitrogen(BUN)levels detected;their renal pathological changes observed by HE staining;their ultrastructural changes of renal podocytes observed by transmission electron microscopy;their mRNA expressions of renal PTEN,PI3K,Akt,nephrin,podocin and CD2AP detected by RT-qPCR;and their protein expressions of renal PTEN,PI3K,Akt,p-Akt,nephrin,podocin and CD2AP detected by Western blot.RESULTS Compared with the model group,the Tangtongyin groups displayed decreased levels of FBG,24-h UP,Scr and BUN(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);improved renal pathological morphology and podocyte ultrastructure;increased mRNA and protein expressions of PTEN,nephrin,podocin and CD2AP(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);and decreased expression of p-Akt protein(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Additionally,the medium-dose and high-dose Tangtongyin groups shared indecreased mRNA and protein expressions of PI3K and Akt(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).CONCLUSION Tangtongyin can protect the renal podocytes in DN rats,and its mechanism may associate with its efficacy via PTEN/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
