Objective:To evaluate the prognosis of Hall technique and traditional performed metal crown (PMC) restoration technique, and to follow up the occlusal changes before and after treatment with Hall technique, providing references for the promotion of Hall technique.Methods:Children who visited the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, West China Hospital of Stomatology, Sichuan University from May 2021 to December 2022 were screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The therapeutic effects of the two groups were followed up at three time points: 1, 2 and 3 months after operation. The observation results were divided into three outcomes: success (crown in place, no symptoms of pulpitis or periapical periodontitis, no obvious abnormality in occlusion, no need for further treatment), partial failure (crown falling off or crown broken, tooth defect can be repaired, reversible pulpitis) and complete failure (irreversible pulpitis or periapical periodontitis, crown falling off and tooth defect irreparable), and statistical analysis was made. At the same time, the Hall technique group was followed up at five time points as before operation, immediately after operation, 2 weeks after operation, 4 weeks after operation and 8 weeks after operation respectively, in which the occlusion was analyzed by Dental Prescale Ⅱ system. The vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO), overbite and coverage, and canine relationship were recorded and compared. Three-dimensional finite element method was used to model and analyze the stress of the teeth treated with traditional PMC treatment and Hall technique, and the differences between them were compared.Results:Finally, 21 children were included in the Hall technique group, including 12 boys and 9 girls, with age of (5.0±1.4) years. Meanwhile, 22 children including 15 boys and 7 girls were in the traditional PMC group, with age of (5.1±1.3) years. There were 0 cases of complete failure and 0 cases of partial failure both in the Hall technique group and in the traditional PMC group within 1 month. There were 0 cases of complete failure and 1 case of partial failure in the Hall technique group, while 0 cases of complete failure and 0 cases of partial failure in the traditional PMC group within 2 months after operation. Hall technique group failed completely in 1 case and partially in 1 case, while the traditional pre-crown group failed completely in 0 cases and partially in 0 cases 3 months after operation. There was no significant difference in the incidence of primary index/complete failure and secondary index/partial failure between Hall technique group and traditional PMC group (all P>0.05). The occlusal area and occlusal force of children treated with Hall technique decreased immediately after operation compared with those before operation, but gradually recovered to the preoperative level at 2, 4 and 8 weeks after operation. To elaborate, the occlusal area decreased significantly from (14.79±3.55) mm 2 before operation to (10.15±3.17) mm 2 immediately after operation ( P=0.001), and recovered to (15.58±3.39) mm 2 at 8 weeks after operation ( P>0.05 compared with pre-operation). The occlusal force decreased significantly from (436.94±109.59) N before operation to (292.70±96.05) N immediately after operation ( P=0.001), and recovered to (441.86±104.31) N at 8 weeks after operation ( P>0.05 compared with pre-operation). Overbite decreased significantly from (2.54±1.05) mm before operation to (1.80±0.94) mm immediately after operation ( P=0.044) and then recovered to (2.35±1.02) mm ( P>0.05 compared with pre-operation). The coverage changed from (2.41±0.66) mm before operation to (2.27±0.61) mm immediately after operation ( P>0.05) and then recovered to (2.48±0.62) mm ( P>0.05 compared with pre-operation). The canine relationship was (3.12±0.54) mm before operation, and decreased significantly immediately after operation (2.17±0.89) mm ( P=0.001), and recovered to (3.05±0.61) mm after 8 weeks ( P>0.05 compared with pre-operation). In the three-dimensional finite element analysis, the maximum stress of all parts of the affected tooth increased immediately after Hall technique treatment, but with occlusal adjustment, the maximum stress of all parts of the affected tooth decreased, which was similar to that of the traditional metal pre-crown group. The vertical load and oblique load of pre-crown decreased from 180.11 and 496.16 MPa to 108.05 and 297.69 MPa, respectively. The vertical load and oblique load of enamel decreased from 94.83 and 255.94 MPa to 57.21 and 156.44 MPa, respectively. The vertical load and oblique load of dentin decreased from 55.19 and 124.77 MPa to 33.19 and 74.59 MPa, respectively. Conclusions:During the experimental observation period, there is no obvious difference between Hall technique and traditional PMC treatment technology in terms of post-treatment occlusion and clinical prognosis, which supports clinical application.

Sodium valproate (VPA) is a widely used antiepileptic drug and mood stabilizer in both neurology and psychiatry. Valproate-induced hyperammonemic encephalopathy (VHE) is a rare but serious complication associated with its use. This paper reports a clinical case of a patient with bipolar disorder who developed VHE after self-administering, a rapid short-term dose escalation of VPA. The patient exhibited symptoms including nausea, vomiting, altered consciousness, and disorientation shortly after the dosage increase. Following prompt discontinuation of VPA and symptomatic treatment including cathartic therapy to promote drug elimination, the patient gradually regained consciousness and physical symptoms resolved. Through a review of this case and relevant literature, this article discusses the pathophysiological mechanisms, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of VHE, to provide clinical reference for healthcare professionals.

Objective:To investigate the application value of gastric suspension method in supra-pancreatic lymph node dissection of laparoscopic radical gastrectomy of gastric cancer.Method:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 84 patients who under-went laparoscopic radical gastrectomy of gastric cancer at Zhejiang Cancer Hospital from August 2023 to July 2024 were collected. There were 61 males and 23 females, aged (64±11)years. Of the 84 patients, 42 patients undergoing supra-pancreatic lymph node dissection during laparoscopic radical gastrectomy of gastric cancer with traditional method for surgical field exposure were divided into the control group, and 42 patients undergoing supra-pancreatic lymph node dissection during laparoscopic radical gastrectomy of gastric cancer with gastric suspension method for surgical field exposure were divided into the suspension group. Observation indicators: (1) surgical conditions; (2) postoperative conditions. Comparison of measurement data with normal distribution between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Comparison of measurement data with skewed distribution between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Comparison of count data between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Results:(1) Surgical condi-tions. The time for supra-pancreatic lymph node dissection of the control group was (78±14)minutes. Number of grasping operations was 116±34, number of bleeding sites caused by grasping operations was 7.8±2.7, and operation time was (3.9±0.8)hours. The above indicators of the suspension group were (59±12)minutes, 68±19, 2.1±1.5, and (3.3±0.7)hours, respectively. There were significant diffe-rences in the above indicators between the two groups ( t=5.42, 8.10, 8.31, 3.14, P<0.05). (2) Post-operative conditions. The tumor diameter was 2.5(2.0,3.5)cm for patients of the control group, versus 3.0(2.4, 4.4)cm for patients of the suspension group, showing a significant difference between the two groups ( Z=-1.98, P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with the traditional non-suspension method, the gastric suspension method in laparoscopic radical gastrectomy of gastric cancer for supra-pancreatic lymph node dissection is associated with shorter operation time and less trauma.
