With the growing emphasis on maternal and child oral health, the significance of managing oral health across preconception, pregnancy, and infancy stages has become increasingly apparent. Oral health challenges extend beyond affecting maternal well-being, exerting profound influences on fetal and neonatal oral development as well as immune system maturation. This expert consensus paper, developed using a modified Delphi method, reviews current research and provides recommendations on maternal and child oral health management. It underscores the critical role of comprehensive oral assessments prior to conception, diligent oral health management throughout pregnancy, and meticulous oral hygiene practices during infancy. Effective strategies should be seamlessly integrated across the life course, encompassing preconception oral assessments, systematic dental care during pregnancy, and routine infant oral hygiene. Collaborative efforts among pediatric dentists, maternal and child health workers, and obstetricians are crucial to improving outcomes and fostering clinical research, contributing to evidence-based health management strategies.

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the early clinical results and safety of Stand-alone OLIF application of lumbar lesions, and explored its surgical indications. METHODS: Total of 92 cases of lumbar spine lesions treated with Stand-alone OLIF at two medical centers from October 2014 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed, including 30 males and 62 females with an average age of (61.20±12.94) years old ranged from 32 to 83 years old. There were 20 cases of lumbar spinal stenosis, 15 cases of lumbar disc degeneration, 11 cases of lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis, 6 cases of discogenic low back pain, 7 cases of giant lumbar disc herniation, 13 cases of primary lumbar discitis, 6 cases of adjacent vertebral disease after lumbar internal fixation surgery, and 14 cases of degenerative lumbar scoliosis. Pre-operative dual energy X-ray bone density examination 31 cases' T-values ranged from -1 to -2.4, 8 cases' T-values ranged from -2.5 to -3.5, and the rest had normal bone density. The number of fusion segments: 68 cases of single segment, 9 cases of two segment, 12 cases of three segment , and 3 cases of four segment. Fusion site:L_1,2 1 case, L_2,3 4 cases, L_3,4 10 cases, L_4,5 53 cases, L_2,3-L_3,4 3 cases, L_3,4-L_4,5 6 cases, L_1,2L_2,3L_3,4 1 case, L_1,2L_3,4L_4,5 1 case, L_2,3L_3,4L_4,5 10 cases, L_1,2L_2,3L_3,4L_4,5 3 cases. The clinical results and imaging results of this group of cases were observed, as well as the complications. RESULTS: The surgical time ranged from 40 to 140 minutes with an average of (60.92±27.40) minutes. The intraoperative bleeding volume was 20 to 720 ml with an average of (68.22±141.60) ml. The patients had a follow-up period of 6 to 84 months with an average of (38.50±12.75) months. The height of the intervertebral space recovered from (9.23±1.94) mm in preoperative to (12.68±2.01) mm in postoperative, and (9.11±1.72) mm at the last follow-up, there was a statistically significant difference(F=6.641, P=0.008);there was also a statistically significant difference between the postoperative and preoperative height of the intervertebral space(t=9.27, P<0.000 1);and there was also a statistically significant difference (t=10.06, P<0.000 1) between the last follow-up and postoperative height of the intervertebral space. At the last follow-up, cage subsidence grading was as follows:level 0 in 69 cases (76 segments), levelⅠin 17 cases (43 segments), level Ⅱin 5 cases (14 segments), and level Ⅲ in 1 case (1 segment);according to the number of segments, normal subsidence accounts for 56.72%, abnormal subsidence accounts for 43.28%. Bone mineral desity of normal subsidence groups was -0.50±0.07 whinch was better than that the abnormal subsidence groups -2.10±0.43, and the difference was statistically significant(χ²=2.275, P=0.014). As well as there was a statistically significant difference in the patient's VAS of backache from (6.28±2.11) in preoperative to (1.48±0.59) in last follow-up(t=8.56, P<0.05). The ODI recovered from (36.30±7.52)% before surgery to (10.20±2.50)% at the last follow-up, with a statistically significant difference (t=7.79, P<0.000 1). Complications involved 4 cases of intraoperative vascular injury, 21 cases of endplate injury, and 4 cases of combined vertebral fractures. The incision skin has no necrosis or infection. There were 4 cases of left sympathetic chain injury, 4 cases of transient left hip flexion weakness, 2 cases of left thigh anterolateral numbness with quadriceps femoris weakness, and 1 case of incomplete intestinal obstruction;8 cases were treated with posterior pedicle screw fixation due to fusion cage settlement accompanied by stubborn lower back pain, and 6 cases were treated with fusion cage settlement and lateral displacement. According to the actual number of cases, there were 38 complications, with an incidence rate of 41.3%. CONCLUSION The application of Stand alone OLIF in lumbar spine disease fusion has achieved good early results, with obvious clinical advantages, but also there are high probability of complications. It is recommended to choose carefully. It is necessary to continuously summarize and gradually clarify and complete the surgical indications and specific case selection criteria.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) injection in enhancing chin aesthetics.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with suboptimal chin aesthetics who underwent dual-plane BTX-A injection at Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between August 2023 and March 2024. Prior to injection, patients were instructed to repeatedly pucker their lips forward and upward to identify the most prominent points of the mentalis muscle for injection. A 13 mm 30 G needle was inserted perpendicularly into the muscle layer, and BTX-A was administered at a concentration of 20 U/ml, with 3 U per injection point. For the patients exhibiting significant orange peel signs at rest, intradermal deep-layer BTX-A injection was concurrently performed at a concentration of 5 U/ml, with 0.5 U per linear track. Postoperative follow-up was conducted, and third-party physicians assessed pre- and post-treatment photographs using the global aesthetic improvement scale (GAIS) (scores ranging from 5 to 1, representing worse, no improvement, mild improvement, moderate improvement, and significant improvement, respectively). Patient satisfaction was also surveyed [categorized as very satisfied, satisfied, dissatisfied, or very dissatisfied; satisfaction rate = (very satisfied + satisfied) cases/total cases × 100%], along with their willingness to undergo repeated injections and recommend the procedure to others. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 24.0 software. Normally distributed continuous data were expressed as Mean±SD, and categorical data were expressed as counts (%).Results:A total of 120 patients were included, comprising 11 males and 109 females, aged 22-39 years (mean age of 33.3 years). Follow-up ranged from 1 to 5 months (mean of 1.3 months). Postoperatively, 102 patients reported subjective improvement in chin appearance, characterized by enhanced fullness and roundness of the chin. Thirty-one patients noted a slight elevation of the submental fat pad and improved definition of the cervicomental angle. The mean GAIS score was 1.61±0.78, with 76 cases scoring 1, 24 cases scoring 2, 10 cases scoring 3, and 10 cases scoring 4. Improvement (scores 1-3) was achieved in 91.7% (110/120) of patients. The subjective satisfaction rate was 85.0% (102/120), and 94 patients (78.3%) expressed willingness to undergo repeated injections and recommend the procedure to family or friends. Early postoperative complications included localized bruising in 17 cases, which was resolved within 10 d, and transient fine motor dysfunction of the lower jaw in 23 cases, with normal chewing, swallowing, and facial expressions, all of which were resolved completely within 6 weeks. No cases of mouth deviation, facial paralysis, allergic reactions, or other complications were observed.Conclusion:The application of BTX-A via intramuscular mentalis injection combined with intradermal deep-layer injection significantly improves both dynamic and static chin aesthetics. However, some common complications also ask for the further attention of practitioners.

Objective:To analyze the clinical value of delayed solidification of cement at freezing point combined with establishment of cement channels in the treatment of further leakage of cement in percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed for the medical records of 261 patients with osteoporotic vertebral fracture in the thoracolumbar segment who underwent PKP treatment in Beijing Puren Hospital from April 2019 to April 2023. According to the method of dealing with PKP cement leakage, it was divided into freezing point group (using bone cement combined with cement channel reconstruction treatment at freezing point temperature) and temperature gradient group (using temperature gradient method). There were 128 cases in the freezing point group, including 37 males and 91 females, aged 75.57±4.60 years (range, 65-85 years), and fracture locations were 18 cases in T 10, 30 cases in T 11, 44 cases in T 12, 23 cases in L 1 and 13 cases in L 2. There were 133 cases in the temperature gradient group, including 36 males and 97 females, aged 75.66±4.51 years (range, 65-85 years), and fracture locations were 17 cases in T 10, 32 cases in T 11, 51 cases in T 12, 22 cases in L 1, and 11 cases in L 2. The intraoperative blood loss, operation time, intravertebral cement area, cement leakage area, cement leakage area increase, cement bolus time and incidence of injection difficulty, as well as the pain visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), kyphosis angle, the height of the anterior edge of the injured vertebral body and the difference between it before and after surgery were compared. Results:All patients were followed up for 3 consecutive months. The intraoperative blood loss and initial cement leakage area were 9.48±2.64 ml and 32.56±7.05 mm 2 in the freezing point group and 9.04±2.25 ml and 32.86±7.00 mm 2 in the temperature gradient group, respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05) ; The operation time, the area of bone cement in the vertebral body, the final leakage area of bone cement, and the increase of bone cement leakage in the freezing point group were 55.08±4.13 min, 1 175.45±117.11 mm 2, 35.84±8.67 mm 2, and 0.00(0.00, 13.32) mm 2, respectively, and the temperature gradient group were 53.02±3.96 min, 823.70±144.79 mm 2, and 73.38±29.16 mm 2 and 44.39(20.13, 56.61) mm 2, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The height of the anterior edge of the vertebral body was 21.54±2.06 mm and 21.24±2.33 mm immediately after surgery and 3 months after surgery in the freezing point group, which were higher than those in the temperature gradient group 21.10±1.60 mm and 18.92±1.51 mm, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The VAS scores of the freezing point group were 2.29±0.62 and 1.03±0.66 points, ODI were 23.20%±3.97%, 10.43%±4.33%, and the kyphosis angles were 9.09°±2.80° and 9.44°±2.93°, respectively, which were lower than those of the temperature gradient group (4.11±0.79 and 2.79±0.65 points), ODI (35.97%±6.42%, and 23.73%±5.72%), and the kyphosis angles (10.24°±2.33° and 13.22°±2.56°), the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The operating time of bone cement in the freezing point group was 10.89±2.35 min, which was longer than that in the temperature gradient group 5.77±0.52 min, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=24.021, P<0.001). The incidence of cement injection difficulty was 0 in the freezing point group and 27.1% (36/133) in the temperature gradient group. Conclusion:The establishment of bone cement combined with bone cement channel at freezing point temperature can effectively prolong the bolus time of bone cement and reduce the re-leakage of bone cement, which is conducive to increasing the injection volume and distribution area of bone cement in the vertebral body, effectively reducing the amount of bone cement leakage and obtaining better clinical efficacy.

Objective To summarize the reasons and management strategies of reoperation after oblique lateral interbody fusion(OLIF),and put forward preventive measures.Methods From October 2015 to December 2019,23 patients who under-went reoperation after OLIF in four spine surgery centers were retrospectively analyzed.There were 9 males and 14 females with an average age of(61.89±8.80)years old ranging from 44 to 81 years old.The index diagnosis was degenerative lumbar intervertebral dics diseases in 3 cases,discogenie low back pain in 1 case,degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis in 6 cases,lumbar spinal stenosis in 9 cases and degenerative lumbar spinal kyphoscoliosis in 4 cases.Sixteen patients were primarily treated with Stand-alone OLIF procedures and 7 cases were primarily treated with OLIF combined with posterior pedicle screw fixation.There were 17 cases of single fusion segment,2 of 2 fusion segments,4 of 3 fusion segments.All the cases underwent reoperation within 3 months after the initial surgery.The strategies of reoperation included supplementary posterior pedicle screw instrumentation in 16 cases;posterior laminectomy,cage adjustment and neurolysis in 2 cases,arthroplasty and neuroly-sis under endoscope in 1 case,posterior laminectomy and neurolysis in 1 case,pedicle screw adjustment in 1 case,exploration and decompression under percutaneous endoscopic in 1 case,interbody fusion cage and pedicle screw revision in 1 case.Visu-al analogue scale(VAS)and Oswestry disability index(ODI)index were used to evaluate and compare the recovery of low back pain and lumbar function before reoperation and at the last follow-up.During the follow-up process,the phenomenon of fusion cage settlement or re-displacement,as well as the condition of intervertebral fusion,were observed.The changes in in-tervertebral space height before the first operation,after the first operation,before the second operation,3 to 5 days after the second operation,6 months after the second operation,and at the latest follow-up were measured and compared.Results There was no skin necrosis and infection.All patients were followed up from 12 to 48 months with an average of(28.1±7.3)months.Nerve root injury symptoms were relieved within 3 to 6 months.No cage transverse shifting and no dislodgement,loosening or breakage of the instrumentation was observed in any patient during the follow-up period.Though the intervertebral disc height was obviously increased at the first postoperative,there was a rapid loss in the early stage,and still partially lost after reopera-tion.The VAS for back pain recovered from(6.20±1.69)points preoperatively to(1.60±0.71)points postoperatively(P＜0.05).The ODI recovered from(40.60±7.01)％preoperatively to(9.14±2.66)％postoperatively(P＜0.05).Conclusion There is a risk of reoperation due to failure after OLIF surgery.The reasons for reoperation include preoperative bone loss or osteoporosis the initial surgery was performed by Stand-alone,intraoperative endplate injury,significant subsidence of the fusion cage after surgery,postoperative fusion cage displacement,nerve damage,etc.As long as it is discovered in a timely manner and handled properly,further surgery after OLIF surgery can achieve better clinical results,but prevention still needs to be strengthened.

Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of novel bioabsorbable vascular scaffold(BVS)in the treatment of patients with complex coronary artery disease.Methods This was a retrospective,matched,single-center observational study.45 patients with coronary atherosclerotic cardiopathy received BVS treatment in the cardiovascular medicine department Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University from June 2020 to June 2021(BVS),and 45 patients treated with drug-eluting stents(DES)group were selected according to matching study requirements during the same period.Baseline,surgical,and follow-up data were compared between the two groups to evaluate safety and efficacy.The main measures of safety were:surgical time,intraoperative adverse events,etc.,and the end point of efficacy was target lesion failure(TLF),including cardiac death,target vessel myocardial infarction,and ischa-driven target lesion revascularization.Results A total of 90 patients were enrolled in this study,all of whom were followed up for at least 3 years.There were 20 cases of bifurcation lesions and 25 cases of diffuse long lesions in the two groups,and 50 cases of imaging were reviewed among the 90 patients.The proportion of stable coronary heart disease,history of diabetes,history of hypertension,history of smoking,pre-dilated balloon pressure and postoperative diastolic blood pressure in BVS group was higher than that in DES group,and the proportion of family history was lower than that in DES group(all P＜0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in the rates of cardiac death,target vessel myocardial infarction,and ischemia-driven revascularization of target lesions between the two groups(all P＞0.05).Binary Logistic regression model analysis showed that the diameter stenosis ratio of target lesions was an independent risk factor for intrastent restenosis(OR 2.786,95％CI 1.096-7.081,P=0.031).Conclusions Compared with traditional DES,BVS implantation has consistent safety and efficacy in the treatment of complex coronary artery disease within 3 years.The diameter stenosis ratio of target lesions was an independent risk factor for intrastent restenosis.

Objective:To investigate the clinical outcome of biplanar botulinum toxin type A injection in alleviating platysmal bands.Methods:From November 2022 to May 2023, the clinical data of patients with platysmal bands treated by botulinum toxin type A injection in Department of Face and Neck Plastic Surgery, Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, and Department of Plastic Surgery, Chengdu Badachu Cosmetic Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The platysmal bands were marked, while patients were grinning, before injection. Using a 13 mm 30 G needle, 20 U/ml botulinum toxin was injected into the muscle layer along the bands from the clavicle direction. The dose was 1 U at a single point every 1.5 cm. Using a 3 mm 30 G needle, 10 U/ml botulinum toxin was injected into the deep surface of dermis along the bands with a single point dose of 0.5 U. Effects were evaluated by overall subjective satisfaction of patients, which were categorized into 4 grades: very satisfied, satisfied, dissatisfied, very dissatisfied. In addition, accessment by a third-party physician with global aesthetic improvement scale (GAIS) (1-5 points, the lower the score, the more significant the improvement is) and Geister platysmal band scale (0-4 points, the higher the score, the more severe the platysmal band is). Normal distribution data was represented by Mean±SD.Results:A total of 19 patients were included, including 3 males and 16 females, with the average age of 36.1 years. After a mean follow-up of 1.3 months (1-5 months), the overall subjective satisfaction was 100%(19/19). The GAIS score of third-party physicians was 1.12±0.33. 100%(19/19) of patients received a rating over moderate improvement(significant improvement in 17 cases and moderate improvement in 2 cases). The Geister platysmal band score decreased from preoperative 3.65 ± 0.33 to postoperative 0.76 ± 0.44. No serious complications were found except 5 cases of local congestion and 2 cases of injection pain, which were relieved in 1 week and 3 hours respectively. 2 cases felt mild neck weakness, but neck activity was not affected. The adverse symptoms all completely resolved spontaneously within 4 weeks. All patients have no mouth deviation, difficulty speaking, facial paralysis, allergies, or other noticeable complications.Conclusion:The injection of botulinum toxin type A in dual-plane of platysmal intramuscular layer and deep intradermal layer can effectively alleviate platysmal bands and achieve neck rejuvenation.
