Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of ultrasound bone knife bone window technique combined with viscous bone in mandibular cysts and its impact on postoperative bone defect repair.Methods:60 patients with mandibular cysts who visited our hospital from January 2024 to June 2024 were selected as the study subjects,they were randomly divided into control group(30 cases)and experimental group(30 cases).The control group underwent traditional scraping surgery(without the use of bone defect repair materials).The experimental group used ultrasound bone knife bone window technology combined with adhesive bone treatment.The surgical time,postoperative visual pain simulation(VAS)score,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative swelling degree,and incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups were observed and compared.Bone defect repair was evaluated by cone beam computed tomography(CBCT)at 3 and 6 months postoperatively.Results:There was no significant difference in surgical time,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative swelling degree,and incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups(P＞0.05).The VAS scores of both groups at 3 and 7 d postoperative were lower than those at 1 d postoperative(P＜0.05),and the VAS score at 7 d postoperative was lower than that 3 d postoperative(P＜0.05).The VAS scores in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group at 1,3 and 7 d postoperative(P＜0.05).The HU values and bone repair area ratio in the experimental group at 3 and 6 months postoperative were significantly higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05),and the HU values and bone repair area ratio in the control group and experimental group at 6 months postoperative were significantly increased compared to those at 3 months postoperative(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The combination of ultrasound bone knife bone window technology and adhesive bone treatment for mandibular cysts can significantly reduce postoperative pain,accelerate bone defect repair,and improve bone density and repair quality.Compared with traditional scraping surgery,the use of sticky bone has significant advantages in postoperative bone regeneration and does not significantly increase the risk of complications,making it of high clinical application value.

A mounting body of research suggests that circRNAs significantly contribute to the develop-ment of myocardial fibrosis.The microarray results of human circular RNA expression profile indicated that circHERC4_041 expression increased in the myocardium of patients with heart failure,RT-qPCR a-nalysis confirmed that the myocardial expression level of circHERC4_041 in individuals with heart failure were considerably elevated compared to that in healthy organ donors.Fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH)confirmed that circHERC4_041 was abundant in the cytoplasm of human cardiomyocyte AC16.Overexpression of circHERC4_041 in mouse myocardial fibroblasts(mCFs)mediated by adenovirus in-hibited the expression of fibrosis-related proteins in mCFs.Experiments involving cell proliferation,wound healing,and Transwell assays demonstrated that overexpression of circHERC4_041 suppressed the growth and mobility of mCFs(P＜0.001).Sequence analysis results suggested that circHERC4_041 con-tains potential ribosome entry sequence(IRES)and open reading frame(ORF).Western blot confirmed that circHERC4_041 could translate the 516 amino acid HERC4-516aa protein,which was mainly located in the cytoplasm of the cell.Cell functional experiments confirmed that circHERC4_041 inhibited the fi-brotic phenotype of mCFs by specifically translating HERC4-516aa(P＜0.05).The specific interaction between HERC4-516aa and transglutaminase 2(TGM2)was confirmed by IP-MS screening and Co-IP i-dentification.Further results found that the degradation of TGM2 was promoted through proteasome path-way.The overexpression of TGM2 in mCFs facilitated by adenoviral vectors could counteract the suppres-sive effects of HERC4-516aa on the fibrotic phenotype of mCFs.Therefore,this study confirmed that the HERC4-516aa protein translated by circHERC4_041 can specifically bind to TGM2 to inhibit the fibrotic phenotype of myocardial fibroblasts.

AIM To compare the contents of caffeic acid,ferulic acid,narirutin,calycosin,glycyrrhizic acid and atractylenolide Ⅲ of modified Liujunzi Decoction(MLJZD)during small test,pilot test(500,1 500 L)and large production.METHODS The samples were taken after soaking for 60 min,boiling for 0,5,10,15,20,30 min in the first decoction,and boiling for 5,10,15,20 min in the second decoction,respectively,after which the HPLC fingerprints were established,the contents of active constituents were determined.RESULTS There were 6 common peaks in the HPLC fingerprints for small test and pilot test,while 5 common peaks were observable in the HPLC fingerprints for large production,along with the similarities of more than 0.980.During pilot tests at different time points,various active constituents demonstrated consistent content changing trends,whose total content was higher than those during small test and large production.CONCLUSION Process amplification exhibits a little influence on active constituent contents in MLJZD,which don't show increasing trends with the expansion of container and enhancement of dosage.

Objective To explore the correlation between fasting blood glucose(FBG)level and fractional flow reserve(FFR)in patients with borderline coronary artery disease,and to clarify its potential influence on FFR measurement.Methods From August 2020 to August 2023,the data of 135 patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease who received coronary angiography and FFR evaluation in the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University were retrospectively collected.According to the exclusion and inclusion criteria,85 cases of borderline diseased vessels of single coronary artery with stenosis degree of 50％-80％were screened out,and they were divided into FBG≥6.1 mmol/L group(47 cases)and FBG＜6.1 mmol/L group(38 cases).The baseline data,angiographic and functional indexes of the two groups were compared,and the correlation between FBG and FFR was analyzed.Results Compared with the FBG＜6.1 mmol/L group,the FBG≥6.1 mmol/L group had a higher proportion of FFR negative results(72.3％vs.23.7％,P＜0.001),and the FFR measurement values were generally increased[0.84(0.80,0.90)vs.0.75(0.68,0.80),P＜0.001],with statistically significant differences.Pearson correlation analysis was performed on all lesions,and FFR＞0.80(negative result)was positively correlated with FBG≥6.1 mmol/L(r=0.484,P＜0.001).Conclusions Among the patients with borderline coronary artery disease(50％-80％stenosis)included in this study,FBG≥6.1 mmol/L is significantly correlated with FFR＞0.80.For patients with borderline coronary lesions with elevated FBG,the influence of blood glucose factors should be carefully considered in clinical interpretation of FFR results.
