Autotransplantation of teeth (ATT) is a surgical technique that involves transplanting a non-functional tooth (donor tooth) within the oral cavity to an edentulous area (recipient site). This procedure not only demonstrates reliable long-term success and survival rates but also possesses unique osteoinductive capacity and soft tissue preservation advantages, making it particularly suitable for the restoration of dental defects in adolescents. However, ATT is highly technique-sensitive, and its successful implementation depends on the operator’s comprehensive mastery of multidisciplinary knowledge, including alveolar surgery, periodontology, endodontics, prosthodontics, and orthodontics, as well as the precise design and execution of personalized surgical plans. Preoperative systematic evaluation is required to assess the root development stage of the donor tooth, the bone volume condition of the recipient site, and the compatibility between the donor tooth and the recipient site. For teeth with an open apex, pulpal healing through revascularization is often achievable with a high success rate, whereas those with a closed apex typically require root canal treatment 2-4 weeks postoperatively to minimize complications. Utilizing cone beam computed tomography, intraoral scanning, and virtual surgical planning enables accurate assessment of donor-recipient matching and the design of the transplantation plan. Intraoperatively, careful attention must be paid to minimizing tissue trauma through precise planning and gentle manipulation, strictly limiting the extra-oral time of the donor tooth to within 15 min, and maintaining the root surface moist at all times to protect the periodontal ligament and improve surgical outcomes. The application of tools, such as 3D-printed personalized surgical guides, donor tooth replicas, and customized osteotomes, has enhanced the precision of socket preparation. Further, emerging technologies, such as dynamic navigation, surgical robotics, and artificial intelligence, have also demonstrated promising potential in the field of ATT.

Objective To explore the risk factors of cognitive dysfunction in patients with sepsis and constructing a predictive model.Methods A total of 102 patients treated in the Department of this hospital from April 2021 to April 2024 were selected as the research subjects.According to the scores of the Mini-Men-tal State Examination(MMSE)three months after discharge,the patients were divided into the cognitive im-pairment group and the non-cognitive impairment group.Demographic data,critical illness-related scores and laboratory indicators of the patients were collected.Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze the risk factors for cognitive impairment in patients with sepsis.A nomogram model was constructed and its performance was verified through internal data.Results According to the MMSE scores,there were 60 patients were divided into the cognitive impairment group and 42 patients into the non-cognitive impairment group.The results of logistic regression analysis showed that age,educational level,the time of hospital stay,total hospitalization cost,chronic diseases,APACHEⅡ score,SOFA score,WBC,use of vasoac-tive drugs,indwelling urinary catheter,opening of artificial airway,medical devices,and clinical conditions were influencing factors for the occurrence of cognitive impairment(P＜0.05).The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the nomogram model for predicting the occurrence of cognitive dysfunction was 0.883.The predicted probability of the occurrence of cognitive impairment was highly similar to the actu-al situation,indicating that the predictive model had good discrimination and accuracy.Conclusion The nomo-gram risk model can predict the incidence of cognitive impairment in sepsis patients relatively well,which is beneficial to the early identification,early evaluation,early intervention and treatment of high-risk groups.

Objective:To explore the role of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in monitoring prognosis after contralateral C7 nerve transfer in patients with central paralysis.Methods:The clinical data of a 56-year-old male patient with right limb motor impairment after cerebral infarction, admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery at Brain Hospital of Hunan Province in October 2023, were retrospectively analyzed. The patient had experienced right limb motor dysfunction for over 2 years following a cerebral infarction and was treated with contralateral C7 nerve transfer. Follow-ups were conducted at 2 and 6 months postoperatively. Motor function was assessed using the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scale, while changes in fractional anisotropy (FA) in the lesion area and corticospinal tract were monitored via DTI.Results:Postoperative follow-up of patient showed: (1) Significant improvement in motor function: ADL scores increased from 65 preoperatively to 75 (2 months postop) and 80 (6 months postop); FMA scores increased from 46 to 58 (2 months postop) and 61 (6 months postop). Muscle tension in the affected upper limb decreased markedly, and range of motion in the right shoulder joint improved. (2) Imaging improvements: DTI revealed an increase in FA values from 0.157 to 0.174 in the lesion area and from 0.52 to 0.53 in the corticospinal tract, indicating partial restoration of neural tract integrity.Conclusions:Contralateral C7 nerve transfer can effectively improve motor function in stroke patients. DTI technology provides an objective imaging basis for clinically assessing functional recovery by quantitatively evaluating changes in neural tract integrity, demonstrating significant value in guiding rehabilitation.

OBJECTIVES: To assess the efficacy and safety of Tiaozhou Ziyin (TZZY) recipe for treatment of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and explore the possible mechanisms. METHODS: We used bioinformatics analyses and network pharmacology to identify the main active ingredients in TZZY recipe and their core targets, which were verified by Western blotting. We tested the efficacy and safety of the recipe in 60 POI patients, who were randomized into control group (n=30) with Femoston treatment and TZZY group (n=30) with additional TZZY recipe treatment for 3 menstrual cycles. RESULTS: The core active ingredients of TZZY recipe included kaempferol, β-sitosterol, luteolin, and quercetin. The core targets included SRC, TP53, STAT3, PIK3CA, and MAPK3, which were involved in positive regulation of cell movement and protein phosphorylation, the cancer pathways and the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. Molecular docking showed that the core active ingredients had good binding ability with the core targets. In female rat models of POI, TZZY recipe treatment significantly up-regulated ovarian expressions of p-PI3K and p-Akt proteins. In the clinical trial, treatment with Femoston and Femoston plus TZZY recipe both significantly increased E₂ levels and reduced FSH and LH levels and Kupperman scores of the patients, and the combined treatment produced significantly stronger effects. Both treatments increased the number of antral follicles of the patients, but the combined treatment also significantly increased the levels of AMH. CONCLUSIONS The therapeutic mechanism of TZZY recipe for POI involves multiple active ingredients, multiple therapeutic targets and multiple pathways, and activating the PI3K /Akt pathway is one of its main mechanisms of action, to improve ovarian reserve function, alleviate clinical symptoms, and enhance clinical efficacy in POI patients.
