ObjectiveTo investigate the possible mechanism of Wenyang Shengji Ointment (温阳生肌膏, WSO) in the treatment of diabetic wounds with yin syndrome. MethodsA total of 24 SD rats were randomly divided into a group (n=6) and modeling group (n=18). The modeling group rats were fed with high-fat diet for 14 days and then were injected intraperitoneally with streptozotocin to induce diabetic model. After steroid injection, full-thickness skin defects were created on the back of the rats to establish a diabetic wound with yin syndrome model. The normal group was fed with regular diet, and full-thickness skin defects were created surgically on the back of the rats. The 18 successfully modeled rats were further divided into three groups, the model group, the WSO group, and the Beifuxin (Recombinant Bovine Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor Gel, BX) group, 6 rats in each group. The WSO group was given the ointment to the wound, the Beifuxin group was givne BX gel, and the normal group and model group was disinfected and treated with saline. All groups had their dressings changed once daily for 14 days. Wound healing was recorded on days 0, 3, 7, and 14, and the wound healing rate was calculated on day 3, 7, and 14. On day 14 after treatment, HE staining was performed to observe the pathological morphology of the wound tissue. Western Blot was used to detect the relative protein levels of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Immunofluorescence was used to measure the fluorescence intensity of HIF-1α in the wound tissue, and ELISA was used to detect the methylglyoxal (MGO) content in the wound tissue. ResultsCompared with the normal group, the model group showed poor wound healing on day 3, 7, and 14, with a low wound healing rate (P<0.01). HE staining showed scab coverage on the wound, with inflammatory cell infiltration and disorganized collagen arrangement. The relative protein levels of VEGF were significantly reduced, while the relative protein levels of HIF-1α and the MGO content significantly increased (P<0.01), and the fluorescence intensity of HIF-1α was enhanced. Compared to the model group, the WSO group and Beifuxin group showed better wound healing on day 3, 7, and 14, with an increased wound healing rate (P<0.01). The wound tissue showed clear and complete epithelial structure, reduced inflammatory cells, mature granulation tissue, and organized collagen arrangement. MGO content was significantly reduced (P<0.01). The relative protein levels of HIF-1α and VEGF both significantly increased in the WSO group, while only VEGF increased in the Beifuxin group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the Beifuxin group, the WSO group had a thicker epidermal layer, prominent collagen formation, significantly increased HIF-1α fluorescence expression, reduced MGO content in the wound tissue, and higher relative protein levels of HIF-1α (P<0.05). ConclusionWSO can reduce the accumulation of MGO in diabetic wound tissue with yin syndrome and activate the HIF-1α/VEGF pathway, which could be one of the mechanisms for promoting wound healing.

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.

Objective To explore the mechanism of Wenyang Shengji Ointment(温阳生肌膏,WYSJO)in the treatment of diabetic wounds from the perspective of network pharmacology,and to veri-fy it by animal experiments. Methods The Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform(TCMSP)and related literature were used to screen active compounds in WYSJO and their corresponding targets.GeneCards,Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man(OMIM),DrugBank,PharmGkb,and Therapeutic Target Database(TTD)databases were employed to identify the targets associated with diabetic wounds.Cytoscape 3.9.0 was used to map the ac-tive ingredients in WYSJO,which was the diabetic wound target network.Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interaction Gene/Proteins(STRING)platform was utilized to construct protein-protein interaction(PPI)network.Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)and Gene Ontology(GO)enrichment analyses were performed to identify signaling pathways be-tween WYSJO and diabetic wounds.AutoDock 1.5.6 was used for molecular docking of core components in WYSJO to their targets.Eighteen rats were randomly divided into control,model,and WYSJO groups(n=6).The model and WYSJO groups were used to prepare the model of refractory wounds in diabetes rats.The wound healing was observed on day 0,5,9,and 14 after treatment,and the wound tissue morphology was observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining.The expression levels of core genes were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qPCR). Results A total of 76 active compounds in WYSJO,206 WYSJO drug targets,3 797 diabetic wound targets,and 167 diabetic wound associated WYSJO targets were screened out through network pharmacology.With the use of WYSJO-diabetic wound target network,core targets of seven active compounds encompassing quercetin,daidzein,kaempferol,rhamnetin,rham-nocitrin,strictosamide,and diisobutyl phthalate(DIBP)in WYSJO were found.GO enrich-ment analysis showed that the treatment of diabetes wounds with WYSJO may involve lipopolysaccharide,bacteria-derived molecules,metal ions,foreign stimuli,chemical stress,nutrient level,hypoxia,and oxidative stress in the biological processes.KEGG enrichment analysis showed that the treatment of diabetes wounds with WYSJO may involve advanced glycation end products(AGE-RAGE),p53,interleukin(IL)-17,tumor necrosis factor(TNF),hypoxia inducible factor-1(HIF-1),apoptosis,lipid,atherosclerosis,etc.The results of animal experiments showed that WYSJO could significantly accelerate the healing process of diabetic wounds(P<0.05),alleviate inflammatory response,promote the growth of granulation tis-sues,and down-regulate the expression levels of eight core genes[histone crotonyltrans-ferase p300(EP300),protoc gene-oncogene c-Jun(JUN),myelocytomatosis(MYC),hypoxia inducible factor 1A(HIF1A),mitogen-activated protein kinase 14(MAPK14),specificity pro-tein 1(SP1),tumor protein p53(TP53),and estrogen receptor 1(ESR1)]predicted by the net-work pharmacology(P<0.05). Conclusion The mechanism of WYSJO in treating diabetes wounds may be closely related to AGE-RAGE,p53,HIF-1,and other pathways.This study can provide new ideas for the phar-macological research of WYSJO,and provide a basis for its further transformation and appli-cation.

ObjectiveTo establish a rat model of diabetic wound by feeding on a high-fat and high-sugar diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ) and surgical preparation of full-thickness skin defects, observe the effect of cinnamaldehyde on the wound healing of diabetes rats, and explore the therapeutic mechanism of cinnamaldehyde in improving wound healing of diabetes rats based on the PTEN-induced putative kinase (PINK1)/Parkin pathway-mediated mitochondrial autophagy. MethodForty-eight male SD rats were randomly divided into blank group (n=12) and diabetes group (n=36). The diabetes group was further randomly divided into model group, cinnamaldehyde group, and Beifuxin group, with 12 rats in each group. The blank group and the model group received routine disinfection with physiological saline after creating the wounds, while the cinnamaldehyde group received topical application of polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400) gel containing 4 μmol·L-1 cinnamaldehyde, and the Beifuxin group received topical application of Beifuxin gel. Dressings were changed once daily. The wound healing rate of each group was observed. On the 7th and 14th days after intervention, the wound tissues of the rats were collected. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining was performed to observe the pathological changes in the local tissues. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to detect the expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and collagen fibers. Immunofluorescence (IF) and Real-time polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) were used to detect the protein, and mRNA expression of PINK1, Parkin, microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 Ⅱ (LC3 Ⅱ). ResultAfter intraperitoneal injection of STZ, compared with the blank group, the random blood glucose values of rats in the diabetic group increased significantly (P<0.01), all higher than 16.7 mmol·L-1, and persistently hyperglycemic for some time after modeling. Compared with the blank group, the model group showed poor growth and healing of granulation tissue in the wounds, and the wound healing rate decreased (P<0.01). On the 7th day after intervention, the blank group had squamous epithelial coverage on the wounds. Compared with the blank group, the model group only had a small amount of scab at the wound edges, with a large number of infiltrating inflammatory cells in the wounds. The protein expression levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in the tissues increased (P<0.01), and the protein and mRNA levels of PINK1, Parkin, and LC3Ⅱ decreased (P<0.01). On the 14th day after the intervention, the granulation tissue in the wounds of the blank group was mature and well-healed. Compared with the blank group, the model group still had infiltrating inflammatory cells and red blood cell exudation. The protein expression levels of VEGF and collagen fibers in the tissues decreased (P<0.01), and the protein and mRNA expression levels of PINK1, Parkin, and LC3Ⅱ increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the cinnamaldehyde group and the Beifuxin group showed better wound healing, with increased wound healing rates (P<0.01). On the 7th day after intervention, the protein expression levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in the tissues decreased (P<0.01), and the protein and mRNA expression levels of PINK1, Parkin, and LC3Ⅱ increased (P<0.01). On the 14th day after intervention, the protein expression levels of VEGF and collagen fibers in the tissues increased (P<0.01), and the protein and mRNA expression levels of PINK1, Parkin, and LC3Ⅱ decreased (P<0.01). ConclusionCinnamaldehyde can promote the wound healing of diabetes rats by increasing the wound healing rate, reducing the levels of inflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α, and increasing the levels of VEGF and collagen fibers. Its mechanism may be related to the regulation of the PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway, activation of mitochondrial autophagy, inhibition of inflammatory responses, and promotion of angiogenesis and collagen synthesis, thereby promoting the wound healing of diabetes rats.

Objective :
To compare the disinfection effect of 3% (v/v) hydrogen peroxide and 500 mg/L chlorine-containing disinfectants in the independent waterway of a periodontal ultrasonic scaler to provide a reference for clinical waterway disinfection management in stomatology departments.
Methods :
The 18 ultrasonic scalers were randomly divided into 3 groups of 6 units: the control group, experimental group 1 (3% hydrogen peroxide disinfectant group), and experimental group 2 (500 mg/L chlorine-containing disinfectant group). The replaceable parts of the independent waterway pipes of the 3 groups of ultrasonic scalers were replaced, and the water supply was supplied with sterile distilled water (DW). In the control group, special treatment was not applied to the nonreplaceable pipe part. In experimental group 1, the 3% hydrogen peroxide was used to disinfect nonreplaceable pipelines. In experimental group 2, the nonreplaceable part was disinfected with the 500 mg/L chlorine-containing disinfectant. The water sample was taken from the outlet of the scaler working part in the three groups for monitoring before disinfection, immediately after disinfection and 10 consecutive days after disinfection. Bacteria in the water samples were cultured for the colony counts. Then, the bacterial culture data were compared between groups. The qualified criterion of the water sample was that the number of bacterial colonies was less than or equal to 100 CFU/mL. After disinfection, a bacterial species mass spectrometry identification analysis was carried out when the number of bacterial colonies in each group exceeded the standard for the first time. Biofilms from the inner wall of the tube in the three groups were observed under an electron microscope on the 10th day after disinfection.
Results :
There were no significant differences between the three groups before disinfection (F = 2.549, P = 0.111). The number of bacterial colonies in the spout of 6 scalers in the control group all exceeded the standard, and three kinds of bacteria were cultured: Sphingomonas melonis, Herbaspirillum huttiense, and Ralstonia pickettii. Compared with those in the control group, the number of bacterial colonies in experimental group 1 decreased significantly for 1-2 days after disinfection (P<0.05) and reached the standard. On the 3rd day after disinfection, the number of bacterial colonies of group 1 increased rapidly and exceeded the standard, and three kinds of bacteria were cultured: Sphingomonas, Herbaspirillum huttiense, and Ralstonia pickettii. For experimental group 2, the number of bacterial colonies decreased significantly compared to the control group on Days 1 to 6 after disinfection, but the number of bacterial colonies increased slightly from the 7th day after disinfection and exceeded the standard. Two kinds of bacteria were cultured: Herbaspirillum huttiense and Ralstonia pickettii. The average number of bacterial colonies 10-day after disinfection in experimental group 2 was lower than that in experimental group 1(P<0.001). Under an electron microscope, the biofilm thickness of the two experimental groups was significantly lower than that of the control group.
Conclusion
There is water pollution in the independent waterway of a periodontal ultrasound scaler. Three percent hydrogen peroxide and 500 mg/L chlorine disinfectant both have effective disinfection effects on the outlet water of scalers, and the effect of 500 mg/L chlorine disinfectant is better than that of 3% hydrogen peroxide. The use of 3% hydrogen peroxide to disinfect periodontal ultrasound scaler-independent waterways is recommended for disinfection every other day, and disinfection once a week is recommended for the use of 500 mg/L chlorine disinfectant.

ObjectiveTo verify the efficacy of steamed Allii Sativi Bulbus polysaccharide in regulating the intestinal flora of young dysbiosis-induced diarrhea rats based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing. MethodThe young SD rats were randomly divided into blank group,model group,positive drug group (bifid triple viable capsules),and high-dose and low-dose steamed Allii Sativi Bulbus polysaccharide groups,six in each group. The dysbiosis-induced diarrhea rat model was established,and the blank group and the model group were given normal saline by gavage (each 10 mL·kg-1),and the high-dose and low-dose steamed Allii Sativi Bulbus polysaccharide groups were administered with corresponding drugs (500 mg·kg-1 and 250 mg·kg-1, respectively) ,once a day for seven consecutive days. The loose stool rate,loose stool grade,diarrhea index,small intestine propulsion rate and hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining were used as indexes to investigate the effect of steamed Allii Sativi Bulbus polysaccharide on improving diarrhea symptoms in young rats. The feces of rats were collected for 16S rRNA gene high-throughput sequencing. ResultCompared with the model group, the positive drug group and the high-dose and low-dose steamed Allii Sativi Bulbus polysaccharide groups had alleviated symptoms, down-regulated loose stool rate and diarrhea index (P<0.01) and decreased small intestine advancement rate (P<0.05). HE staining showed that after the treatment with steamed Allii Sativi Bulbus polysaccharide,the inflammatory cell infiltration of the colon tissue was improved and the intestinal gland recovered to the normal condition,which indicated that steamed Allii Sativi Bulbus polysaccharide could significantly ameliorate the diarrhea in young rats. The sequencing results revealed that steamed Allii Sativi Bulbus polysaccharide had a moderating effect on the abundance of the intestinal flora of young dysbiosis-induced diarrhea rats,elevating the flora richness and diversity indexes. Specifically, the abundance of Bacteroidota was increased while that of Firmicutes and Proteobacteria was decreased. ConclusionSteamed Allii Sativi Bulbus polysaccharide can be used to treat dysbiosis-induced diarrhea in young rats by regulating the abundance of intestinal microbiota.
