Objective To investigatethe relationship between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms and clinicopathological characteristics, p53 expression, and survival of Chinese patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma. Methods A total of 3882 patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma, 970 matched patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, and 970 matched patients with gastric cardia adenocarcinoma were included to compare the incidence of GERD symptoms. Patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma were divided into two groups according to the presence and absence of GERD symptoms. The differences in clinicopathological characteristics and p53 expression between the two groups were compared by chi-square test, and the differences in survival between the two groups were compared by landmark analysis. Results The incidence of GERD symptoms increased successively in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, esophageal adenocarcinoma, and gastric cardia adenocarcinoma. In patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma, the proportions of male, less than 65 years old, lower thoracic tumors, tumors without squamous cell carcinoma, poorly differentiation, early tumors (stage 0-I), and p53-positive tumors in the group with GERD symptoms were higher than those in the group without GERD symptoms; moreover, the long-term survival (≥15 years) was better. Conclusion GERD symptom is an important clinical sign of esophageal adenocarcinoma. It is closely related to specific clinicopathological characteristics, p53 overexpression, and good long-term prognosis.

Colorectal cancer is one of the common malignant tumor in China. However, cases of colorectal cancer with synchronous bone marrow metastasis are extremely rare in clinical practice, and there are few reports on its treatment worldwide. Due to the destructed hematopoietic function caused by tumor cells occupying the bone marrow, the efficacy of chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy is very poor. As a result, colorectal cancer with bone marrow metastasis has a very high mortality and very short survival, resulting in a very poor prognosis. The authors review the epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis methods, treatment options and prognosis of this disease.

Objective To compare regression models for age estimation constructed based on the Pulp Dentinal Index(PDI)of the first permanent molars and explore a more accurate and applicable novel method.Methods A total of 900 Cone Beam Computed Tomography(CBCT)image datasets from adult Han Chinese individuals(455 males and 445 females)residing in Sichuan province,China,were collected from the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College.The PDI of the first permanent molars were measured using Mimics software.Regression analysis was performed with age as the dependent variable and PDI as the independent variable to establish and validate the optimal mathematical model for age estimation.Results Strong correlations were observed between the PDI of all four first permanent molars and age,with the correlation being stronger for maxillary teeth compared to mandibular teeth,and the highest correlation found in the left maxillary first molar among females(r=0.881).Significant differences in PDI were identified between maxillary and mandibular positions as well as between genders(P＜0.05),but not between left and right positions(P＞0.05).Among the 11 mathematical models constructed,the cubic regression model outperformed others,with the left maxillary first molar model demonstrating the best performance(Age=73.93-70.79x-68.75x2+94.33x3),yielding a mean absolute error(MAE)of 4.88 years.Conclusion Among the 11 regression models constructed in this study based on CBCT-measured PDI values of the first permanent molars,the cubic regression model exhibited the highest accuracy,with an MAE of 4.88 years.

Objective To analyze differences of purified water,softened water,and concentrated softened water on the decontamination effects for surgical instruments,so as to provide a reliable reference for the selection of cleaning water for surgical instruments.Methods The physical and chemical indexes and components of concentrated softened water,softened water,and purified water were detected,and their cleaning effects for instrument were compared.The decontamination cleaning experiment was conducted in three hospitals with different types of cleaning water using mini cleaning machines,and the differences in the decontamination time were analyzed.The cleaning and decontamination experiments on contaminated instruments was performed using a spray cleaning and disinfection device,and the cleaning effects of instruments with different types of cleaning water were analyzed.Results Calcium content and hardness of the three types of cleaning water were all at a low level,which can avoid scale adhesion for cleaning surgical instruments.There were statistically significant differences in the pH value,conductivity,and contents of calcium,sodium and chloride among the three cleaning waters(P<0.05).The purified water was weakly acidic,and its conductivity,hardness,and contents of calcium,sodium and chloride were all at low levels.The softened water and concentrated softened water were weakly alkaline,with high levels of conductivity and sodium content and low level of chloride.There were statistically significant differences in the decontamination time of the purified water,softened water and concentrated softened water among hospitals(P<0.05).Under the same contamination condition of surgical instruments,there was a statistically significant difference in the qualified rate of instruments cleaning in the upper and lower cleaning baskets with different cleaning waters(P<0.05).Conclusion Concentrated softened water and softened water have high sodium content,and their decontamination and cleaning abilities are significantly stronger than those of the purified water.Purified water has poorer effects in instruments cleaning for its deionized property.Using concentrated softened water or softened water in the surgical instrument cleaning process can achieve effects of reducing consumption and increasing efficiency,which is conducive to improving cleaning efficiency and quality.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of action of Guizhi Fuling pill in treating chro-nic prostatitis(CP)using network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques.Methods Compo-nents of Guizhi Fuling pill were collected from the Traditional Chinese Medicines Systems Pharmacolo-gy Platform(TCMSP),and target information was obtained from the SwissTarget database.Targets for chronic prostatitis were screened from the GeneCards,OMIM,CTD,and DisGeNET disease data-bases.A protein-protein interaction(PPI)network was established and analyzed.Gene ontology(GO)functional annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway en-richment analysis were performed using the DAVID database.The Cytoscape software was employed to construct an association network linking the components of Guizhi Fuling Pill,their targets,and the targets of chronic prostatitis.Molecular docking was conducted using AutoDock Vina software to verify the binding stability between the components of Guizhi Fuling pill and their targets.Results After screening and deduplication in the TCMSP database,76 components of Guizhi Fuling Pill were iden-tified,and 655 component targets were retrieved from the SwissTarget database.There were 190 intersecting targets between GuizhiFuling Pill and chronic prostatitis.GO analysis indicated that Guizhi Fuling Pill may treat chronic prostatitis by participating in processes such asapoptosis,ATP binding,and signal transduction.KEGG analysis suggested that Guizhi Fuling Pill can regulate pathways such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(AKT)and mitogen-acti-vated protein kinase(MAPK)to intervene in chronic prostatitis.Molecular docking data demonstra-ted that the components of Guizhi Fuling pill exhibited stable conformations with their targets.Con-clusion The components of Guizhi Fuling Pill can stably bind to their targets and exert therapeutic effects on chronic prostatitis through multiple targets and pathways.

Cemental tear is a rare and indetectable condition unless obvious clinical signs present with the involvement of surrounding periodontal and periapical tissues. Due to its clinical manifestations similar to common dental issues, such as vertical root fracture, primary endodontic diseases, and periodontal diseases, as well as the low awareness of cemental tear for clinicians, misdiagnosis often occurs. The critical principle for cemental tear treatment is to remove torn fragments, and overlooking fragments leads to futile therapy, which could deteriorate the conditions of the affected teeth. Therefore, accurate diagnosis and subsequent appropriate interventions are vital for managing cemental tear. Novel diagnostic tools, including cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), microscopes, and enamel matrix derivatives, have improved early detection and management, enhancing tooth retention. The implementation of standardized diagnostic criteria and treatment protocols, combined with improved clinical awareness among dental professionals, serves to mitigate risks of diagnostic errors and suboptimal therapeutic interventions. This expert consensus reviewed the epidemiology, pathogenesis, potential predisposing factors, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of cemental tear, aiming to provide a clinical guideline and facilitate clinicians to have a better understanding of cemental tear.

This study aims to explore the specific mechanism by which puerarin inhibits ferroptosis and improves the myocardial contractile function in myocardial hypertrophy through the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2)/antioxidant response element(ARE)/heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) signaling pathway. The hypertrophic cardiomyocyte model was established using phenylephrine, and H9c2 cells were divided into control group, model group, puerarin group, and puerarin+ML385 group. Cell viability and surface area were detected by cell counting kit-8(CCK-8) and immunofluorescence experiments. The mitochondrial membrane potential and Ca~(2+) concentration were measured. The ferroptosis-related indicators were detected by biochemical and fluorescence staining methods. The expression of proteins related to ferroptosis and the Nrf2/ARE/HO-1 signaling pathway was detected by Western blot. A myocardial hypertrophy model was established, and 40 rats were randomly divided into sham group, model group, puerarin group, and puerarin+Nrf2 inhibitor(ML385) group, with 10 rats in each group. Echocardiogram, hemodynamic parameters, and myocardial hypertrophy parameters were measured. Histopathological changes of myocardial tissues were observed by hematoxylin and eosin(HE) staining and Masson staining. Biochemical methods, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA), and fluorescence staining were used to detect inflammatory factors and ferroptosis-related indicators. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of proteins related to ferroptosis and the Nrf2/ARE/HO-1 signaling pathway. Cell experiments showed that puerarin intervention significantly enhanced the viability of hypertrophic cardiomyocytes, reduced their surface area, and restored mitochondrial membrane potential and Ca~(2+) homeostasis. Mechanism studies revealed that puerarin promoted Nrf2 nuclear translocation, upregulated the expression of HO-1, solute carrier family 7 member 11(SLC7A11), and glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4), and decreased malondialdehyde(MDA), reactive oxygen species(ROS), and iron levels. These protective effects were reversed by ML385. In animal experiments, puerarin improved cardiac function in rats with myocardial hypertrophy, alleviated myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis, inhibited inflammatory responses and ferroptosis, and promoted nuclear Nrf2 translocation and HO-1 expression. However, combined intervention with ML385 led to deterioration of hemodynamics and a rebound in ferroptosis marker levels. In conclusion, puerarin may inhibit cardiomyocyte ferroptosis through the Nrf2/ARE/HO-1 signaling pathway, thereby improving myocardial contractile function in myocardial hypertrophy.
