BACKGROUND:Socket-shield technique can effectively maintain labial soft and hard tissues,but the incidence of postoperative complications such as exposure and displacement of root shield is relatively high.It is speculated that the root shield may be exposed and displaced due to excessive load after long-term function of dental implants. OBJECTIVE:Through three-dimensional finite element analysis,we aim to study the influence of varying root shield thicknesses on the stress distribution,equivalent stress peaks,and displacement in the root shield,periodontal ligaments,implant,and surrounding alveolar bone under normal occlusal loading.We also attempt to analyze the correlation between the thickness of the root shield and occurrence of mechanical events such as root shield exposure,displacement,and fracture. METHODS:Cone-beam CT data of a patient who met the indication standard of socket-shield technique for maxillary central incisor were retrieved from database.Reverse engineering techniques were used to build models of the maxillary bone and root shield,while forward engineering was used to create models for the implant components based on their parameters.Models depicting various root shield thicknesses(0.5,1.0,1.5,and 2.0 mm)were created using Solidworks 2022 software.ANSYS Workbench 2021 software was then used to simulate and analyze the effects of varying root shield thicknesses on stress distribution,equivalent stress peaks,and displacement of the root shields,periodontal ligaments,implants,and surrounding alveolar bone under normal occlusion. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)In all root shield models,the stress was concentrated on the palatal cervical side,both sides of the edges and the lower edge of the labial side.As the thickness of the root shield increased,the equivalent stress peak and displacement showed a decreasing trend.The 0.5 mm thickness model produced a stress concentration of 176.20 MPa,which exceeded the yield strength(150 MPa)of tooth tissue.(2)The periodontal ligament stress in each group was concentrated in the neck margin and upper region.With the increase of root shield thickness,the equivalent stress peak and displacement of periodontal ligament showed a decreasing trend.(3)Implant stress in all models was concentrated in the neck of the implant and the joint of the implant-repair abutment,and the labial side was more concentrated than the palatal side.With the increase of root shield thickness,the equivalent stress peak of the implant in the model showed an increasing trend.(4)In each group of models,stress of cortical bone concentrated around the neck of the implant and the periphery of the root shield,and the labial side was more concentrated than the palatal side.With the increase of the thickness of the root shield,the equivalent stress peak around the root shield decreased;the peak value of the equivalent stress of the bone around the neck of the implant showed an increasing trend.In the model,the stress of cancellous bone was mainly concentrated around the neck of the lip of the implant,the top of the thread,the root tip and the lower margin of the root shield,and the labial side was more concentrated than the palatal side.With the increase of the thickness of the root shield,the peak value of the equivalent stress of the bone around the root shield in the model showed a decreasing trend.The minimum principal stress of cortical bone in each group of models was concentrated around the neck of the implant,exhibiting a fan-shaped distribution.As the thickness of the root shield increased,the minimum principal stress of cortical bone showed an increasing trend.(5)These results indicate that different thicknesses of the root shield have different biomechanical effects.The root shield with a thickness of 0.5 mm is easy to fracture.For patients with sufficient bone width,the root shield with a thickness of 2.0 mm is an option to reduce the risk of complications such as root shield exposure,fracture,and displacement.Meanwhile,it should be taken into account to protect the periodontal ligament in the preparation process,and rounding treatments ought to be carried out on both sides and the lower edge of the root shield.

Traditional four examinations of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） are based on the symptoms and signs of patients， which are the advantages of TCM but also have shortcomings. Chronic kidney disease has the characteristics of insidiousness， long-term， deficiency and variability during its onset， which are difficult to be intervened in time based on only symptoms， therefore it is necessary to extend the application of the four examinations in the diagnosis and treatment process of chronic kidney disease. Based on the background of the continuous development of TCM syndrome differentiation techniques， this article proposed the extension and application strategies of the traditional four examinations in chronic kidney disease， including the incorporation of microscopic syndrome differentiation to identify the causes of kidney disease and prevent symptom deterioration； the utilization of accurate examination information enhanced by artificial intelligence for controlling development of existing disease； the integration of disease differentiation and syndrome differentiation to summarize clinical rules towards using constant to measure variation； and the establishment of a kidney disease database for the storage of four examinations information to prevent recurrence after recovery. The four above extension and application strategies can be used to achieve the long-term management and treatment effects of timely and early diagnosis， dynamic observation of the condition， accurate application of intervention， and strengthened prognosis assessment in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic kidney disease， and expand the advantages of TCM in the prevention and treatment of chronic kidney disease.

Germplasm degeneration occurs during the long-term cultivation of root-and rhizome-derived traditional Chinese medicine(RR-TCM), which seriously restricts the high-quality development of their industry. Therefore, it is urgent to solve the problem of germplasm degeneration through variety breeding. In this paper, based on previously published research articles, monographs, and news reports, the research progresses on the number and origins, breeding methods, and selection of new varieties of RR-TCM listed in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia(Edition 2020) were summarized and analyzed. The results show that there are 169 kinds of RR-TCM listed in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia(Edition 2020), originated from 223 origins with three breeding methods(i.e., seed propagation, vegetative reproduction, and tissue culture), and there are 215 species derived from seed propagation, 177 species derived from vegetative reproduction, and 164 species derived from tissue culture. To date, there are 62 origins breeding new varieties through conventional breeding, cross breeding, mutation breeding, ploidy breeding, or modern biotechnology breeding methods, including 57 origins breeding 145 new varieties through conventional breeding, 10 origins breeding 43 new varieties through mutation breeding, and seven origins breeding 12 new varieties through cross breeding method. They are used mainly to improve yield, disease resistance, and active ingredient content, but only a few new varieties have been widely used. This review will provide useful references in variety breeding, quality breeding, and standardized planting of RR-TCM.

Medical institutions, with their clinical practice foundation and abundant human use experience data, have become important carriers for the inheritance and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) and the "cradles" of the preparation of new TCM. To effectively promote the transformation of new TCM originating from the TCM clinical practice in medical institutions and establish an effective evaluation index system for the transformation of new TCM conforming to the characteristics of TCM, consensus experts adopted the literature research, questionnaire survey, Delphi method, etc. By focusing on the policy and technical evaluation of new TCM originating from the TCM clinical practice in medical institutions, a comprehensive evaluation from the dimensions of drug safety, efficacy, feasibility, and characteristic advantages was conducted, thus forming a comprehensive evaluation system with four primary indicators and 37 secondary indicators. The expert consensus reached aims to encourage medical institutions at all levels to continuously improve the high-quality research and development and transformation of new TCM originating from the TCM clinical practice in medical institutions and targeted at clinical needs, so as to provide a decision-making basis for the preparation, selection, cultivation, and transformation of new TCM for medical institutions, improve the development efficiency of new TCM, and precisely respond to the public medication needs.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficacy and safety of chidamide combined with DICE regimen (cisplatin+ ifosfamide + etoposide + dexamethasone) for relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphome(R/R DLBCL). METHODS: The clinical data of 31 R/R DLBCL patients treated by chidamide combined with DICE regimen in the Hematology Department of the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from October 2016 to October 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical efficacy and adverse events were observed. RESULTS: Among the 31 patients, 20 were male and 11 were female. The median age of the patients was 55 (range: 27-71) years old, 21 cases were < 60 years old, 10 cases were ≥60 years old. 26 cases were refractory and 5 cases were relapsed. There were 13 cases of germinal center B-cell like (GCB), 17 cases of non-GCB, and 1 case had missing Hans type. There were 17 cases of double-expression lymphoma (DEL) and 14 cases of non-DEL. The complete response rate of patients was 38.7%(12/31), the overall response rate was 67.7%(21/31). The median progression-free survival time and the median overall survival time were 9.8(95%CI : 4.048-15.552) months, 13.9(95%CI : 9.294-18.506) months, respectively. Multipvariate analysis showed that GCB and DEL reduced the risk of disease recurrence in R/R DLBCL patients. The main grade 3/4 hematological adverse events in this study were thrombocytopenia, agranulocytosis, anemia and leukopenia. CONCLUSION The chidamide combined with DICE regimen is effective in the treatment of R/R DLBCL, and hematological adverse events should be closely monitored.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment methods of one patient with idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD), in order to strengthen the understanding of this rare disease. METHODS: The clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment process, and prognosis of one patient with iMCD admitted to our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS: The patient was a 45-year-old female with swollen bilateral orbit, edema of lower limbs, multiple serosal cavity effusion, thrombocytopenia, renal insufficiency, and multiple lymph node enlargement. Lymph node biopsy suggested mixed type of Castleman disease. Combined with pathology, imaging and laboratory examination, the patient was finally diagnosed with mixed type of iMCD. After six cycles of R-COP regimen chemotherapy, the patient achieved complete remission. CONCLUSIONS Castleman disease with renal and orbit involvement is rare in clinic and easy to be misdiagnosed. It should be distinguished from lymphoma. The patient has been treated with R-COP regimen, and obtained good short-term efficacy.
