Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） therapy has unique clinical advantages in the treatment of atrial fibrillation， mainly reflected in five aspects， improving quality of life， enabling early diagnosis and treatment， promoting cardiac rehabilitation， making up for the limitations of Western medicine， and improving the success rate of catheter ablation. However， there is insufficient evidence in current clinical research. Based on the current status of TCM research in the treatment of atrial fibrillation， it is suggested that future studies should focus on standardized research on syndrome differentiation and classification. This can be achieved through clinical epidemiological surveys， expert consensus， and other methods to establish a unified syndrome differentiation and classification standard for atrial fibrillation. Clinical efficacy evaluation indicators should be standardized， and core outcome measures for clinical research on TCM treatment of atrial fibrillation should be developed through systematic reviews， patient interviews， and other methods. Additionally， clinical research design， implementation， and data management should be improved. By leveraging modern information technologies such as artificial intelligence， the scientific and standardized nature of TCM intervention research on atrial fibrillation can be enhanced， ultimately improving the quality of research.

Intentional tooth replantation (ITR) is an advanced treatment modality and the procedure of last resort for preserving teeth with inaccessible endodontic or resorptive lesions. ITR is defined as the deliberate extraction of a tooth; evaluation of the root surface, endodontic manipulation, and repair; and placement of the tooth back into its original socket. Case reports, case series, cohort studies, and randomized controlled trials have demonstrated the efficacy of ITR in the retention of natural teeth that are untreatable or difficult to manage with root canal treatment or endodontic microsurgery. However, variations in clinical protocols for ITR exist due to the empirical nature of the original protocols and rapid advancements in the field of oral biology and dental materials. This heterogeneity in protocols may cause confusion among dental practitioners; therefore, guidelines and considerations for ITR should be explicated. This expert consensus discusses the biological foundation of ITR, the available clinical protocols and current status of ITR in treating teeth with refractory apical periodontitis or anatomical aberration, and the main complications of this treatment, aiming to refine the clinical management of ITR in accordance with the progress of basic research and clinical studies; the findings suggest that ITR may become a more consistent evidence-based option in dental treatment.

Instrument separation is a critical complication during root canal therapy, impacting treatment success and long-term tooth preservation. The etiology of instrument separation is multifactorial, involving the intricate anatomy of the root canal system, instrument-related factors, and instrumentation techniques. Instrument separation can hinder thorough cleaning, shaping, and obturation of the root canal, posing challenges to successful treatment outcomes. Although retrieval of separated instrument is often feasible, it carries risks including perforation, excessive removal of tooth structure and root fractures. Effective management of separated instruments requires a comprehensive understanding of the contributing factors, meticulous preoperative assessment, and precise evaluation of the retrieval difficulty. The application of appropriate retrieval techniques is essential to minimize complications and optimize clinical outcomes. The current manuscript provides a framework for understanding the causes, risk factors, and clinical management principles of instrument separation. By integrating effective strategies, endodontists can enhance decision-making, improve endodontic treatment success and ensure the preservation of natural dentition.

Objective:To investigate the status quo of mobile phone addiction, social anxiety, sleep quality, safe behavior and the influence of mobile phone addiction on safe behavior of nursing students in practice, so as to provide evidence for improving the safety behavior of nursing students in practice.Methods:A total of 700 nursing students from The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from March 1 to 20, 2023 were selected by cluster sampling method. A cross-sectional investigation was conducted using the general data questionnaire, the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version, the Nurse Safety Behavior Scale, the Social Anxiety Scale and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index.Results:A total of 678 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective recovery rate of 96.9%. Among the 678 nursing students in practice, 87 were male and 591 were female, aged (21.25±1.16) years old. The scores of safety behavior, mobile phone addiction, social anxiety and sleep quality of 678 nursing students were (52.33±7.31), (28.21±9.86), (41.92±7.64) and (4.56±2.79) respectively. Mobile phone addiction had a statistically significant effect on the prediction of safety behavior ( β = - 0.178, P<0.01). Social anxiety had an intermediate effect between mobile phone addiction and safety behavior, and the indirect effect accounted for 25.5%. Sleep quality could buffer the influence of social anxiety on safety behavior ( β = 0.022, P<0.05). Conclusions:The safety behaviors of student nurses are good, and there are phenomena of mobile phone addiction and social anxiety. Nursing managers and educators can effectively manage the mobile phones of nursing studentsin practice, reduce their social anxiety and improve their sleep quality, so as to improve the safety behaviors of nursing students in practice and ensure the safety of patients.

Background::There is a need for effective and safe therapies for psoriasis that provide sustained benefits. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of tildrakizumab, an anti-interleukin-23p19 monoclonal antibody, for treating moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in Chinese patients.Methods::In this multi-center, double-blind, phase III trial, patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis were enrolled and randomly assigned (1:1) to receive subcutaneous tildrakizumab 100 mg or placebo at weeks 0 and 4. Patients initially assigned to placebo were switched to receive tildrakizumab at weeks 12, 16, and every 12 weeks thereafter. Patients in the tildrakizumab group continued with tildrakizumab at week 16, and every 12 weeks until week 52. The primary endpoint was the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 75) response rate at week 12.Results::At week 12, tildrakizumab demonstrated significantly higher PASI 75 response rates (66.4% [73/110] vs. 12.7% [14/110]; difference, 51.4% [95% confidence interval (CI), 40.72, 62.13]; P <0.001) and Physician’s Global Assessment (60.9% [67/110] vs. 10.0% [11/110]; difference, 49.1% [95% CI, 38.64, 59.62]; P <0.001) compared to placebo. PASI 75 response continued to improve over time in both tildrakizumab and placebo-switching to tildrakizumab groups, reaching maximal efficacy after 28 weeks (86.8% [92/106] vs. 82.4% [89/108]) and maintained up to 52 weeks (91.3% [95/104] vs. 87.4% [90/103]). Most treatment-emergent adverse events were mild and not related to tildrakizumab. Conclusion::Tildrakizumab demonstrated durable efficacy through week 52 and was well tolerated in Chinese patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.Trial registration::ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT05108766.

Purpose To investigate the expression of TRPS1 in synovial sarcoma(SS)and its significance.Methods Twenty-one cases of synovial sarcoma diagnosed by SS1 8(18q11)(SYT)fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH)or SS18-SSX immunohistochemistry were collected.The expression of TRPS1 was detected by immunohistochemistry EnVision two-step staining,and the relevant literature was reviewed.Results There were 21 cases of synovial sarcoma,including 9 females and 12 males,aged 17-79 years,with a median age of 50 years and an average age of 47.1 years.The tumors occurred in the lung(3 cases),legs(3 cases),kidney(3 cases),feet(2 cases),psoas major muscle(2 cases),rectum(1 case),tho-racic cavity(1 case),ankle canal(1 case),inguinal area(1 case),knee(1 case),palm(1 case),nasal cavity(1 case),and forearm(1 case).The maximum diameter of the tumor was 1.2-13 cm.Grossly,the tumor section was grayish-white,grayish-yellowish solid,and the lesion with hemorrhage was dark red.Microscopically,there were monophasic fibrous SS(16/21,76.2％),poorly differential SS(small cell)(3/21,14.3％),and biphasic SS(2/21,9.5％).Immunophenotypi-cally,tumor cells expressed SS18-SSX(18/18,100％),TLE1(12/12,100％),BCL2(18/18,100％),partially expressed EMA(10/16,62.5％),CK(12/18,66.7％),CD99(4/10,40.0％),SMA(3/16,18.6％),S-100(3/19,15.8％),and desmin(0/21).The proliferation index of Ki67 ranged from 3％-80％,with an average of 39.9％.FISH test showed that all 11 cases were positive for SS18(18q11)split-ting.All 21 cases of SS expressed TRPS1 to varying degrees and intensities(21/21,100％),of which 19 cases(19/21,90.5％)had a positive range of＞50％.There were 19 cases(19/21,90.5％)with a positive intensity of 2+or above.All the 21 patients underwent surgical resection of the tumor,and 20 patients received follow-up visits.3 patients treated with postop-erative combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy,18 pa-tients treated with postoperative chemotherapy,and 7 patients showed different degrees of recurrence or metastasis,and 9 pa-tients who received follow-up visits died(45％,9/20).Con-clusion Although TRPS1 is regarded as a highly sensitive and specific marker of breast tumor origin,it is also highly expressed in synovial sarcoma,and it is necessary to be vigilant at its pit-falls in the pathological diagnosis.

Severe asthma stands as a formidable contributor to both mortality and morbidity of pa-tients suffering asthma,casting substantial social and economic shadows on communities.As our un-derstanding of asthma's pathophysiology deepens,a beacon of hope emerges in the form of biological targeted therapies,offering a promising avenue for the management of this challenging condition.These therapies,by precisely inhibiting or modulat-ing pivotal molecules in the inflammatory cascade,offer potential benefits in symptom alleviation,lung function enhancement,and risk reduction of acute exacerbations.They signify a paradigm shift in severe asthma treatment.Within the confines of this article,we embark on a systematic exploration of the immunological underpinnings that define se-vere asthma.By delving into the intricacies of the immune system's role in exacerbating this condi-tion,we aim to offer a comprehensive assessment of both the current landscape and the future pros-pects of biological therapies.Our objective is to provide a scientifically robust and valuable refer-ence that can guide the individualized treatment of patients grappling with severe asthma.
