Dental treatments for children and adolescents have unique clinical characteristics that differ from dental care for adults in terms of children's physiology, psychology, and behavior. These differences impose specific requirements on the application of local anesthesia in pediatric dental procedures. This article presents expert consensus on the principles of local anesthesia techniques in pediatric dental therapies, including the use of common anesthetic drugs and dosage control, safety and efficacy evaluation, and prevention and management of complications. The aim is to improve the safety and quality of pediatric dental treatments and offer guidance for clinical application by dentists.

Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) can lead to vascular dysfunction and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, and arterial diseases. Nevertheless, mechanisms underlying CIH-induced vascular dysfunction remain unclear. Herein, this study analyzed the role of aortic smooth muscle calciumactivated potassium (BK) channels in CIH-induced vascular dysfunction. CIH models were established in rats and rat aortic smooth muscle cells (RASMCs). Hemodynamic parameters such as mean blood pressure (MBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and systolic blood pressure (SBP) were measured in rats, along with an assessment of vascular tone. NO and ET-1 levels were detected in rat serum, and the levels of ET-1, NO, eNOS, p-eNOS, oxidative stress markers (ROS and MDA), and inflammatory factors (IL-6 and TNF-α) were tested in aortic tissues. The Ca2+ concentration in RASMCs was investigated. The activity of BK channels (BKα and BKβ) was evaluated in aortic tissues and RASMCs. SBP, DBP, and MBP were elevated in CIH-treated rats, along with endothelial dysfunction, cellular edema and partial detachment of endothelial cells. BK channel activity was decreased in CIH-treated rats and RASMCs. BK channel activation increased eNOS, p-eNOS, and NO levels while lowering ET-1, ROS, MDA, IL-6, and TNF-α levels in CIH-treated rats. Ca2+ concentration increased in RASMCs following CIH modeling, which was reversed by BK channel activation. BK channel inhibitor (Iberiotoxin) exacerbated CIH-induced vascular disorders and endothelial dysfunction. BK channel activation promoted vasorelaxation while suppressing vascular endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, and oxidative stress, thereby indirectly improving CIH-induced vascular dysfunction.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of 3-hydroxybutyrate derivate( methyl-3-hydroxybutyrate and ethyl-3-hydroxybutyrate)on the apoptosis of PC12 induced by FBS deficiency. Methods Methyl-3-hydroxybutyrate and ethyl-3-hydroxybutyrate were prepared by chemical degradation. PC12 cells were divided into different groups:medium with FBS as negative control,medium without FBS as positive control,medium with different concentrations of methyl-3-hydroxybutyrate or ethyl-3-hydroxybutyrate without FBS as sample groups. The shape and viability of cells in each group were analyzed by optical microscope and MTT. Results Compared with the negative control,cells in the positive control group demonstrated a large number of apoptosis,smaller and thinner morphology,and lower activity. However,the activity of cells was improved in the sample groups.Low concentration(0. 01 and 0. 001 mg·mL-1)of methyl-3-hydroxybutyrate and ethyl-3-hydroxybutyrate showed a protective effect on cell apoptosis,and 1 mg · mL-1 had the best protection effect. Conclusion High purity methyl-3-hydroxybutyrate and ethyl-3-hydroxybutyrate can be produced by chemical method,and both chemicals present good effect on protecting the PC12 from apoptosis.

Objective To explore the correlation between domestic violence in pregnancy and plasma glutamate(Glu),γ-aminobutyric acid(GABA)and coaisol levels in neonatels.Methods By crosssectional survey and domestic violence(DV)interview with Abuse Assessment Survey(AAS),56 abused pregnant women were screened and 107 non-abused pregnant women served as controls.Blood from umbilical vein of neonatal were collected immediately after delivery.Levels of Glu,GABA in plasma were assayed by using high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection on samples.Levels of plasma cortisol were detecteded by with immunoradiometric assay.All variables of the two groups were compared.Chi-square,t/z-test,Spearman correlation,liner regression analysis were adopted.Results In the DV group,there were 49 women(87.5%)experiencing psychological abuse and 2(3.6%)physical abuse during pregnancy.Moreover,29 women(51.8%)experienced sexual abuse in the period of prognancy.By comparison,our study showed higher levels of plasma Glu,GABA and cortisol in neonates of the DV group than those of the controls[(1509±339)pmol/L vs(811±270)pmol/L,(1460±369)pmol/L vs (707±296)pmol/L,(491±87)μg/L vs(392±108)μg/L,t=14.326,t=14.138,t=5.916,P＜0.001]. Spearman correlation analysis showed significantly positive correlation between severity of psychological abuse and levels of Glu,GABA and cortisol(r=0.705,0.696,0.425,P＜0.01)and positive correlation between the severity of sexual abuse and levels of Glu,GABA and cortisol(r=0.471,0.424,0.274,P＜0.01).Conclusion Domestic violence in pregnancy may alter the levels of some excitatory and inhibitory amino acids and change the endocrinic function in neonatels.

Objective To explore the expression of protease activated receptors (PARs) on human monocytes. Methods Flow cytometry and RT - PCR was used to detect the expressions of PARs on human monocytes that purified by MACS. Results FACS analysis showed that monocytes expressed PAR - 1 , PAR - 3 , PAR - 4, but not PAR - 2.RT - PCR revealed that monocytes expressed PAR - 1 and PAR -3, but not PAR -2 and PAR -4 mRNA. Conclusion PARs is expressed on human monocyte cells,which may facilitate further investigation of the potential functions of PARs on monocytes.
