The repair of bone defects is heavily influenced by the dynamic osteogenic microenvironment. Static scaffolds constructed by traditional 3D printing technology cannot simulate the dynamic nature of the microenvironment during bone defect repair due to the fixed structure, uncontrollable release of active factors, and difficult regeneration of blood vessels, among other factors. Breaking through the limitations of these static scaffolds and realizing the intelligent and dynamic regulation of the osteogenic microenvironment is a key scientific issue in the field of bone tissue engineering. 4D printing technology combines the dynamic responsiveness of bone restoration materials with the concept of intelligent design to regulate the micro and macro structure of scaffolds. This technology provides a new method for bone tissue engineering by responding to endogenous and exogenous stimuli and creating a better osteogenic microenvironment through functionalized design, including drug delivery and antibacterial function. However, this technology currently suffers from challenges related to dynamic response material design, insufficient precision of printing technology, and mismatches between multi-stimulus response systems, metabolic rhythms of bone tissue, and functionalized composite scaffolds. Future research should focus on the development of smart response materials with excellent dynamic responses and bioactivity, the creation of new printing technologies, and the design of personalized and precise bone repair solutions. The aim of this paper is to review the current research status of 4D printing for bone tissue engineering in terms of material types, response mechanisms, and applications to provide a theoretical basis for the development and clinical application of functional bone repair materials in the future.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the public health governance capacity in Jiangsu Province and provide an optimized pathway for the construction of a “strong, rich, beautiful, and high-quality” new Jiangsu. MethodsA total of 806 policy documents, 658 public information reports, and 148 research literatures related to public health governance capacity in Jiangsu Province from January 1995 to December 2023 were collected. The status of current public health goverance was assessed based on the evaluation criteria suitable for public health systems, and the strengths and the weaknesses of the system were identified. ResultsThe public health governance capability of Jiangsu Province was scored at 738.3 points, ranking 3rd nationally. Maternal health care and emergency response capacities achieved leading positions nationwide, both ranking 2nd. Jiangsu had exhibited a standardized guidance in the strategic level, a well-established management mechanism, an extensive coverage in information collection, and a scientifically established health targets setting. However, bottlenecks remained, including an unclear division of responsibilities across organizational departments, an insufficient public-health workforce, the absence of a stable growth mechanism for government funding investment, and difficulties in promptly identifying public needs. ConclusionJiangsu’s public-health system demonstrates leading nationally, yet several components remain underdeveloped. Future efforts should consolidate advantages while addressing weaknesses, further diversify content and forms, establish a stable funding increase mechanism, and clarify departmental functions, thereby providing solid health support for realizing the developmental goals of a “strong, rich, beautiful and high-quality” new Jiangsu.

The aim of this study was to qualitatively and quantitatively detect coronavirus(CoV)in the feces of bats from Qinghua Cave,Yunnan Province,China.CoV was qualitatively tested with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR),and homology and genetic evolution were analyzed with bioinformatics software.The established reverse transcription real-time fluores-cence quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR)method was applied to CoV quantification in bat feces.The positivity rate of CoV in 306 fecal samples collected from the fulvous fruit bat(Rousettus leschenaultia)was 7.8%(24/306)according to RT-PCR.All 24 strains of CoV belonged to β-CoV,and showed a similarity of 86.8%-100.0%at the nucleotide level and 95.2%-100.0%at the amino acid level,with respect to other β-CoV sequences in the NCBI database.The positivity rate of CoV was 18.6%(57/306)according to qRT-PCR,a value higher than that according to RT-PCR(χ2=25.3,P<0.05).The mean β-CoV load was 1.3×103 copies/μL.In conclusion,the bats in Qinghua Cave,Yunnan Province,carried CoV belonging to β-CoV.The established qRT-PCR method achieved good sensitiv-ity,accuracy,reproducibility,and a higher detection rate than that of RT-PCR,and can be used for rapid detection of β-CoV in bats.

Objective To investigate the mechanical effects of various height combinations of canine long-arm hooks and micro-im-plant anchorage on the retraction of maxillary anterior teeth in clear aligner treatment.It focuses on analyzing the stress distribution within the periodontal ligament and the movement tendencies of the anterior teeth,providing scientific evidence for optimizing orthodon-tic treatment strategies.Methods Three-dimensional finite element models were developed using CBCT scan data of patients and soft-ware including Mimics,Geomagic Studio,and Hypermesh.The models incorporated 16 different configurations of canine long-arm hooks(4,6,8,10 mm)and micro-implant anchorage(6,8,10,12 mm).Elastic traction forces of 3/16,3.5 oz were applied to these models.Simulations assessed how these variables influenced periodontal ligament stress distribution and the movement patterns of the maxillary anterior teeth.Results Stress during anterior teeth retraction was predominantly concentrated in the cervical and apex re-gions of the periodontal ligament,where it interfaced with the alveolar bone,indicating significant local concentration.Increasing the height of micro-implant anchorage and traction hooks markedly reduced positional changes in both the crown and apex.Specifically,when hooks exceeded 8 mm and anchorage heights surpassed 10 mm,canine movement became more uniform,preventing extrusion and minimizing the deepening of the overbite.Additionally,combinations of high traction hooks and high micro-implant anchorage promoted more uniform tooth movement,reducing unnecessary tipping and rotation.Conclusion In the retraction of maxillary anterior teeth with clear aligners,using high-position micro-implant anchorage and high-position traction hooks significantly enhances torque control of anterior teeth and effectively prevents deepening of the overbite.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of screening-intervention management program for high risk population of stroke in community.Methods Participants aged≥60 years old in Tairi Community,Fengxian District,Shanghai from May 2019 to July 2022 were selected as screening and intervention objects.The first round of stroke high-risk group screening was conducted in 2019 and 2020 in two years respectively,and the second round of stroke high-risk group screening(re-screening)was conducted in 2021 and 2022 respectively for the 2019 and 2020 screening groups,and the groups who had received stroke high-risk screening in both rounds of screening(overlapping groups)were selected as the observation objects of this study.The cerebrovascular function score was used to screen the high-risk individuals of stroke,75-100 was classified as non-high-risk,＜75 were classified as high risk,among which 50-74,25-49,0-24 were light,medium and severe risk,in turn.Baseline and follow-up data were collected for all screening groups,including systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,overweight or obesity,fasting blood glucose,glycated hemoglobin,triglyceride,total cholesterol,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol,and blood uric acid.After the completion of screening,the test report interpretation and first diagnosis intervention were carried out on the screening site,and the screening results were recorded into the health examination file.The first intervention includes lifestyle intervention,risk factor intervention and therapeutic intervention for high-risk individuals.Lifestyle intervention and risk factor intervention were conducted through the distribution of popular science handbook for stroke prevention and individualized face-to-face guidance.Therapeutic intervention for high-risk individuals was guided by anti-platelet aggregation drug therapy,statin therapy,and further examination and treatment of cerebral vessels according to stroke risk assessment results and the incidence of related chronic diseases.Prior to the implementation of the project,the incidence of stroke in the community in 2018 was retrospectively investigated to compare annual changes in stroke screening-intervention.In the process of implementation of intervention management,stroke incidence monitoring of the whole community registered population was carried out,and the monitoring method was to conduct stroke incidence registration once a year,and cooperate with the disease control and community police station to obtain the community stroke incidence monitoring data and death registration information provided by the police station from 2018 to 2022.Results A total of 5 188 subjects who completed both the initial screening and the follow-up screening and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were identified,of whom 2 269 were male and 2 923 were female.The age of participants ranged from 60 to 93 years at the time of the first round of screening,with a mean age of(68±6)years.The proportions of subjects in the age groups of 60-64,65-69,70-74,and≥75 years were 30.3％,34.7％,21.1％,and 14.0％,respectively.(1)After screening and intervention,the proportion of individuals with increased systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,fasting blood glucose,triglyceride,and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol all decreased(respectively 49.4％vs.57.3％,26.6％vs.28.7％,9.6％vs.10.9％,14.7％vs.17.0％,2.4％vs.3.3％;all P＜0.05),but the proportion of individuals with hyperuricemia increased(15.8％vs.13.1％,P＜0.01),with statistically significant differences.(2)Before the implementation of the screening-intervention program in 2018,the stroke incidence rate in the community was 332.1/100 000.The stroke incidence rates in the community during the period from 2019 to 2022 after the implementation of the screening-intervention program were 335.0/100 000,270.8/100 000,235.0/100 000,and 193.6/100 000,respectively.The incidence rates of ischemic stroke(x2trend=8.350,P=0.004)and stroke(x2trend=9.910,P=0.002)decreased during the period from 2019 to 2022,while the incidence rate of hemorrhagic stroke did not show a decreasing trend(x2trend=1.636,P=0.201).(3)The median baseline and follow-up cerebrovascular function scores for the 5 188 elderly individuals undergoing residual stroke risk screening were 82.50(52.50,98.75)and 88.5(59.00,100.00),respectively,with stroke risk rates of 39.8％and 35.6％before and after intervention,respectively.After intervention,the follow-up cerebrovascular function scores increased compared to the baseline,and the stroke risk rate decreased.The distribution of stroke risk levels before and after screening-intervention had statistically significant differences(P＜0.01).Conclusion Implementing a stroke high-risk population screening-intervention management program for the elderly in the community,combined with health examinations and family doctor team services,can significantly reduce the incidence,high-risk rate,and exposure level of risk factors for stroke in the community.

Objective In clinical follow-up studies,it is the most common method to quantify treatment differences between groups using a hazard ratio(HR).Moreover,restricted mean survival time(RMST)has attracted more and more attention.However,the current statistical inference method based on RMST is mainly used for the comparison between two groups.Methods In this paper,three RMST tests between multiple groups are proposed,including naive,logarithmic transformation and complementary logarithmic transformation.Monte Carlo simulations were performed to evaluate the type I error and power,and a case study was performed.Results Based on the type I errors obtained by Monte Carlo simulation and the test performance results,it is shown that the proposed RMST test can deal with the problem of multiple sets of comparisons,especially the complementary logarithmic transformation method is the most robust.Conclusions For the multi-group comparison of survival data,if the time scale index is considered,the RMST multi-group test by the complementary logarithmic transformation method is recommended.
