OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical outcomes and define the indications for a one-stage mandibular reconstruction technique that combines iliac bone flaps with immediate implant-based dentures, and to assess both the accuracy of surgical planning and the long-term success of the procedure. METHODS: A total of ten patients underwent the procedure at Peking University Hospital of Stomatology between June 2020 and August 2023. The preoperative biopsy pathology of all the patients confirmed a benign tumor. In this technique, iliac bone flaps were used for mandibular reconstruction, and immediate implant-based dentures were placed during the same surgical session. Various outcome measures were evaluated, including the accuracy of the surgical reconstruction, implant placement deviations (entry point, apical point, depth, and angle), and long-term outcomes, such as cervical bone resorption, implant survival, and the cumulative survival rate. RESULTS: Thirty-eight implants were successfully inserted into the iliac flaps of the ten patients. The median follow-up duration was 23.5 months, and no significant complications occurred during the follow-up period, such as infections, titanium plate exposure, implant loosening, or damage to the implants and dentures. The accuracy of preoperative virtual surgical planning (VSP) was highly reliable. The repeatability of the VSP model compared to the postoperative reconstructed mandible was as follows: 67.82% ±10.16% within 1 mm, 82.14% ±6.58% within 2 mm, and 90.61% ±4.62% within 3 mm. The average maximum deviation from the plan was (6.10±0.89) mm, with an average overall deviation of (1.14±0.31) mm. For the implants, deviations in critical parameters were as follows: entry point deviation was (2.02±0.58) mm, apical point deviation was (2.25± 0.66) mm, depth deviation was (1.26±0.51) mm, and angular deviation was 1.84°±1.10°. The implant survival rate remained 100% during the follow-up, with a cumulative survival rate of 97.37% from 1 to 4 years. Average cervical bone resorption was 0.94 mm. CONCLUSION The combination of iliac bone flaps with immediate implant-based dentures for one-stage mandibular reconstruction demonstrated pro-mising clinical outcomes, including high implant survival and minimal complications. This technique proved to be safe and reliable for mandibular reconstruction. However, further studies with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods are necessary to confirm the long-term efficacy and optimal indications for this procedure.

Patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) may develop neurological complications such as Alzheimer′s disease, stroke and epilepsy, which severely affect their quality of life. Currently, neurological complications after TBI are poorly understood and there are no comprehensive treatments or definitive interventions for them. Complex pathophysiological changes in the brain, systemic immunological responses, and gastrointestinal dysfunction after TBI all severely affect the biodiversity of the intestinal microbiota and related metabolites, which leads to intestinal dysbiosis and metabolic disorders and exert continued effects on the nervous system. Intestinal microbial probiotic flora that colonize in living organisms are a category of active microorganisms beneficial to the host and supplementation of intestinal probiotics can have a modulatory effect on the nervous system directly or indirectly. The targeted therapeutic effects of intestinal microbial probiotic flora on neurological complications after TBI and the intrinsic mechanism of the effects have not been comprehensively summarized currently. For this purpose, the authors reviewed the research progress on the effects of regulating intestinal microbial probiotic flora on post-TBI neurological complications so as to provide a reference for the clinical prevention and treatment of post-TBI neurological complications.

Objective To investigate the influencing factors of Mismatch ratio in computed tomography perfusion(CTP)and dif-fusion weighted imaging(DWI)to assess the lesion outcome after treatment in patients with acute ischemic stroke(AIS).Methods Whether there were any differences in clinical and imaging data of AIS patients were analyzed retrospectively between the Mismatch ratio＞1.2 group and the Mismatch ratio≤1.2 group,and between the hemorrhagic transformation group and the non-hemorrhagic transformation group.Results The age of onset and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)score of AIS patients in the group with Mismatch ratio＞1.2 were greater than those in the group with Mismatch ratio≤1.2.The Mismatch ratio＞1.2 group had lower incidence of hyperlipidemia,new infarct foci,and higher hypercoagulability,cerebral hemorrhage,as well as large cerebral infarction.The NIHSS score was higher in the hemorrhagic transformation group than the non-hemorrhagic transformation group,and the incidence of large cerebral infarction and digital subtraction angiography(DSA)thrombectomy was higher in the former than in the latter.Multifactorial logistic analysis showed that age,NIHSS score,and hyperlipidemia were independent risk factors for AIS patients with Mismatch ratio＞1.2 and large cerebral infarction was an independent risk factor for hemorrhagic transformation.Conclusion The Mismatch ratio in CTP is correlated with age,NIHSS score,and hyperlipidemia in patients with AIS and large cerebral infarction is correlated with hemorrhagic transformation.

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between serum 25(OH)D and gestational diabetes mellitus in the second trimester (GDM), to analyze the interaction effect of key risk factors, so as to provide a basis for clinical personalized vitamin D supplementation. MethodsA total of 266 pregnant women who registered and took regular obstetric check-ups in Shanghai Pudong New Area Health Care Hospital for Women and Children from June to December 2022, were selected as the research subjects. According to the results of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), the subjects were divided into the GDM group (131) and control group (135). The level of serum 25(OH)D at the time of OGTT were detected and other clinical indicators were followed up. ResultsThe age, systolic blood pressure in early pregnancy, pre-pregnancy BMI, FPG, OGTT 1-hour and 2-hour glucose, GHb, HOMA-IR, TG, AST, Cr, D-D, FDP and SF at 35 weeks’ gestation of the pregnant women were higher in the GDM group than that of the pregnant women in the normal group, while gestational weight gain and serum 25(OH)D level were significantly lower than that of the pregnant women in the normal group. Serum 25(OH)D was negatively correlated with HOMA-IR and WBS’s, but positively correlated with TG and ALT. Serum 25(OH)D was non-linearly correlated with the risk of GDM in an inverted J-shape, and there was an interaction effect of advanced age, pre-pregnancy obesity and vitamin D deficiency on the risk of GDM. ConclusionVitamin D is non-linearly associated with the risk of GDM. The risk of GDM is significantly reduced when serum 25(OH)D level ≥30 ng∙mL^-1.

Atherosclerosis is a multifocal, smoldering, immunoinflammatory disease caused by lipid accumulation. Acute cardio-cerebrovascular disease caused by AS is one of the most serious life threats in the world. Endothelial cell injury, vascular inflammatory stimulation, abnormal lipid metabolism and coagulation disorder are the main pathological mechanisms of AS. Thrombomodulin (TM) is a transmembrane glycoprotein mainly expressed on the surface of endothelium. It plays a key role in maintaining the dynamic equilibrium of the vascular system through its functions of anti-coagulation, anti-inflammation and cell protection. Recombinant human soluble thrombomodulin (rhsTM), a soluble form of human TM containing the extracellular domain of TM, might be effective in the treatment of AS. This review summarizes the structure and function of TM and the mechanism of rhsTM in the treatment of AS. Aiming to provide new ideas for the prevention and treatment of AS.

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of Dianxianqing granules on the tau protein in P301S mice by regulating mitophagy. METHODS Totally 36 P301S mice were randomly divided into model group， Dianxianqing granule group （12.48 g/kg）， donepezil hydrochloride group （positive control， 1.3 mg/kg）， with 12 mice in each group； another 10 C57BL6 mice were selected as control group. Administration groups were given relevant drug solutions intragastrically， and control group and model group were given constant volume of water intragastrically. The gavage volume was 20 mL/kg， once a day， for consecutive 5 months. During the experiment， the general condition of mice was observed in each group. After the last medication， the learning and memory ability was determined by Y maze test and Morris water maze test； HE staining was used to observe the morphological changes in brain tissue， and Nissl staining was used to observe the structure of neural cells and the number of Nissl bodies in cerebral tissue. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expressions of phospho-tau serine 202/threonine 205 （abbreviated as AT8） in brain tissue. Western blot assay was used to determine the expressions of mitophagy-associated proteins [PTEN-induced putative kinase-1 （PINK1）， Parkin， microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3B （LC3B）， p62]， synaptic-associated proteins [postsynaptic density protein-95 （PSD-95）， synaptophysin （SYP）， and growth-associated protein-43 （GAP-43）] and the phosphorylation of tau protein [expressed by the phosphorylation levels of serine 199 （Ser199） and Ser202] in brain tissue. RESULTS The mice in E-mail：lnzyxyqy2003@163.com model group showed symptoms such as white hair， decreased body mass， and lower limb paralysis， with incomplete hippocampal structures in their brain tissue， as well as incomplete cell membrane edges and cell structures； the spontaneous alternating response rate， the times of crossing platform， the number of Nissl bodies， the protein expressions of PINK1， Parkin， LC3B， SYP， GAP-43， and PSD-95 were decreased significantly， compared with control group； swimming latency （fourth and fifth day）， the protein expressions of AT8 and p62，the phosphorylation levels of Ser199 and Ser202 were increased or lengthened significantly， compared with control group （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared with model group， the above symptoms and indexes of mice were improved significantly in administration groups （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS Dianxianqing granules can effectively improve cognitive impairment in P301S mice，the mechanism of which may be associated with inducing mitochondrial autophagy， reducing the hyperphosphorylation of tau protein， up-regulating the expression of synaptic-associated proteins in brain tissue，and repairing damaged neural cells.
