ObjectiveTo investigate the epidemic characteristics and influencing factors of acute conjunctivitis caused by human adenovirus(HAdv)in Yantian District of Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province from 2014 to 2022, and to provide evidence for formulating effective prevention and control measures. MethodsDescriptive epidemiology was used to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC) cases reported from the Chinese disease prevention and control information system. Etiological characteristics of laboratory-confirmed cases were analyzed, and a case-control study method of test-negative design (TND) was conducted as well. According to the result of HAdv detection, analysis was used to identify the influencing factors of morbidity. ResultsA total of 1 005 AHC cases were reported in Yantian District, Shenzhen City from 2014 to 2022, with an average annual incidence rate of 49.49/105. The incidence rate ranged from 4.67/105 to 117.28/105. The peak incidence occurred from July to October each year, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.42∶1. The median (P25,P75) age of onset was 29(12,40) years. A total of 716 eye swabs were collected for etiological detection from 2014 to 2022. HAdv positive detection rate was 36.45% (263/716), Cox 24v positive detection rate was 0.28% (2/716), while EV70 was not detected. The longest viral shedding time in eye swabs was 10 days, with a median of 2 days. The highest HAdv positive detection rate (47.47%) was observed when the sampling-to-onset interval was 4‒5 days, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), with a trend of first increasing and then decreasing. Multivariate logistic regressing analysis showed that aged 18‒ years, and average temperature higher than 24.90 ℃ 3 days before onset (P<0.05) were the risk factors for acute HAdv conjunctivitis. ConclusionAHC in Yantian District, Shenzhen City showed a low level of prevalence from 2014 to 2022, with HAdv being the predominant pathogen. The peak period of viral shedding occurred on the 4th to 5th day after symptom onset, suggesting the importance of adherence to strict home isolation for infected persons. Aged18‒ years and average temperature increased 3 days before onset are associated with an increased risk of adenoviral conjunctivitis. It is recommended to strengthen personal protection and keep doing a good job of AHC surveillance and early warning, so as to timely prevent the outbreaks of AHC.

Preliminary exploration of using ultrasound to quantitatively evaluate the development of epiphyseal cartilage and analyze its correlation with bone age, based on the ultrasound findings of the long bone joint end. A study was conducted on adolescents studying at a sports school in Jining from March to June 2023. Age, height and other information were recorded. Bone age assessment by X ray were performed within 1 week with an endocrinologist interpreted the bone age using the Greulich-Pyle atlas. Two sonographers scanned a total of 7 sites in the hand, wrist and knee joint of the non-dominant side (including the dorsal side of the third metacarpal head, the ulnar styloid process, the radial styloid process, the medial and the lateral femoral epicondyle, dorsal tibia, and medial tibial condyle). The ultrasonic epiphyseal cartilage thickness (UECT) was measured and its correlation with bone age was analyzed. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to evaluate the reliability and repeatability of UECT measurement. A total of 141 adolescents were included, with 80 males and 61 females. The average age was 13 (12-14) years old. The average bone age was 15(13-17) years in males and 16 (14-17) years in females. The proportion of the males and females whose bone age was 1 year older than chronological age was 60% and 67%, respectively, and the height of the males was significantly higher than that of the females( Ultrasound can observe and describe the developmental change of long bone, and UECT has potential value in quantitative evaluation of bone maturity.

To research on area ossification ratio (AOR), a novel parameter for quantitatively assessing adolescent bone age by conventional ultrasonography, and evaluate the correlation between AOR and radiographic bone age. The study selected healthy adolescents from a middle school in Shandong Province in June 2023. Ultrasonic images were collected from five anatomical sites (the styloid process of the ulna, the styloid process of the radius, the lateral epicondyle of the femur, the medial condyle of the tibia, and the posterior median sagittal plane of the tibia). The second ossification center and epiphyseal area on these 2D ultrasound images were delineated to calculate AOR. This ratio was then compared with radiographic bone age measured by Greulich-Pyle (GP) atlas. Inter- and intra-observer consistency was evaluated using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and the Bland-Altman method. A total of 179 healthy adolescents (109 males and 70 females) were included. For both genders, AOR of each site exhibited a significant to high correlation with radiological bone age ( The sum of AORs in adolescents is highly correlated with radiographic bone age, and the measurement method shows high repeatability. The AOR is a reliable parameter for the ultrasonic quantitative assessment of bone age in adolescents.

Digital intraoral scanning is a hot topic in the field of oral digital technology.In recent years,digital intra-oral scanning has gradually become the mainstream technology in orthodontics,prosthodontics,and implant dentistry.The precision of digital intraoral scanning and the accuracy and stitching of data collection are the keys to the success of the impression.However,the operators are less familiar with the intraoral scanning characteristics,imaging process-ing,operator scanning method,oral tissue specificity of the scanned object,and restoration design.Thus far,no unified standard and consensus on digital intraoral scanning technology has been achieved at home or abroad.To deal with the problems encountered in oral scanning and improve the quality of digital scanning,we collected common expert opin-ions and sought to expound the causes of scanning errors and countermeasures by summarizing the existing evidence.We also describe the scanning strategies under different oral impression requirements.The expert consensus is that due to various factors affecting the accuracy of digital intraoral scanning and the reproducibility of scanned images,adopting the correct scanning trajectory can shorten clinical operation time and improve scanning accuracy.The scanning trajec-tories mainly include the E-shaped,segmented,and S-shaped methods.When performing fixed denture restoration,it is recommended to first scan the abutment and adjacent teeth.When performing fixed denture restoration,it is recommend-ed to scan the abutment and adjacent teeth first.Then the cavity in the abutment area is excavated.Lastly,the cavity gap was scanned after completing the abutment preparation.This method not only meets clinical needs but also achieves the most reliable accuracy.When performing full denture restoration in edentulous jaws,setting markers on the mucosal tissue at the bottom of the alveolar ridge,simultaneously capturing images of the vestibular area,using different types of scanning paths such as Z-shaped,S-shaped,buccal-palatal and palatal-buccal pathways,segmented scanning of dental arches,and other strategies can reduce scanning errors and improve image stitching and overlap.For implant restora-tion,when a single crown restoration is supported by implants and a small span upper structure restoration,it is recom-mended to first pre-scan the required dental arch.Then the cavity in the abutment area is excavated.Lastly,scanning the cavity gap after installing the implant scanning rod.When repairing a bone level implant crown,an improved indi-rect scanning method can be used.The scanning process includes three steps:First,the temporary restoration,adjacent teeth,and gingival tissue in the mouth are scanned;second,the entire dental arch is scanned after installing a standard scanning rod on the implant;and third,the temporary restoration outside the mouth is scanned to obtain the three-di-mensional shape of the gingival contour of the implant neck,thereby increasing the stability of soft tissue scanning around the implant and improving scanning restoration.For dental implant fixed bridge repair with missing teeth,the mobility of the mucosa increases the difficulty of scanning,making it difficult for scanners to distinguish scanning rods of the same shape and size,which can easily cause image stacking errors.Higher accuracy of digital implant impres-sions can be achieved by changing the geometric shape of the scanning rods to change the optical curvature radius.The consensus confirms that as the range of scanned dental arches and the number of data concatenations increases,the scanning accuracy decreases accordingly,especially when performing full mouth implant restoration impressions.The difficulty of image stitching processing can easily be increased by the presence of unstable and uneven mucosal mor-phology inside the mouth and the lack of relatively obvious and fixed reference objects,which results in insufficient ac-curacy.When designing restorations of this type,it is advisable to carefully choose digital intraoral scanning methods to obtain model data.It is not recommended to use digital impressions when there are more than five missing teeth.

To analyze the factors associated with infection and death of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) in patients. Using a case-control study method, patients with CRKP infection from January 2019 to December 2021 in the 3201 Hospital were selected as the case group, and patients with carbapenem-susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae (CSKP) infection in the same period were selected as the control group in a ratio of 1∶1. The study subjects were followed up for 30 days. The two groups of patients were categorized into survival and death groups based on whether they died or not, respectively, and the 30-day morbidity and mortality rates of the CRKP case group and the CSKP control group were compared. The logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors associated with CRKP infection and death after CRKP infection. This study included 59 cases in the CRKP case group and 59 in the CSKP control group. The 30-day mortality rate of CRKP-infected patients and CSKP-infected patients were 30.5% (18/59) and 5.1% (3/59), with statistically significant differences ( P<0.001). Surgery within three months prior to KP infection ( OR=17.285, P=0.001), use of carbapenems within three months prior to KP infection ( OR=11.235, P=0.002), use of more than three types of antibiotics ( OR=7.993, P=0.016), albumin<30 g/L in patients prior to KP infection ( OR=10.463, P=0.002), sex ( OR=0.078, P<0.001), and diabetes ( OR=0.076, P=0.011) were associated factors of CRKP infection. Higher age-corrected Charlson Comorbidity Index scores of patients ( OR=1.522, P=0.024) and use of carbapenems by the patients with in the first three months prior to the KP infection ( OR=4.902, P=0.029) were associated factors for the deaths of patients with CRKP. In conclusion, medical personnel should be cautious in performing invasive procedures, strictly control the use of antibiotics, and provide targeted protection and treatment for high-risk patients as soon as possible.
