OBJECTIVES: Currently, the research results regarding the bilateral temporomandibular joint symmetry in patients at different ages with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate (UCLP) are still controversial. In this study, the position of condyle in the articular fossa and morphology of condyle in UCLP patients at different developmental stages was measured and analyzed to explore the asymmetry difference, which can provide a new theoretical basis for the sequential therapy. METHODS: A total of 90 patients with UCLP were divided into a mixed dentition group (31 cases), a young permanent dentition group (31 cases) and an old permanent dentition group (28 cases) according to age and dentition development. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images were imported into Invivo5 software for 3D reconstruction, and the joint space, anteroposterior diameter, medio-lateral diameter, and height of condylar were measured, and its asymmetry index was calculated. RESULTS: The asymmetry index of condylar height and anteroposterior diameter among the 3 groups, from small to large, was the mixed dentition groupP<0.05). There was no significant difference in condylar anteroposterior diameter and asymmetry index between the mixed dentition group and the young permanent dentition group (both P>0.05), all of them were lower than those in the old permanent dentition group (both P<0.05). Compared with the normal side, the height of fracture condyle was smaller among the 3 groups (all P<0.05), and the anterior joint space was smaller (P<0.05) and the posterior joint space was larger (P<0.05) in the mixed dentition group. CONCLUSIONS In patients with UCLP, the asymmetry of condylar morphology increases with age, but the condylar position tends to normal. These results suggest that early treatment has important clinical significance for the morphologic development of temporomandibular joint in UCLP patients.

Objective:To investigate the role of miR-144-3p in cisplatin resistance of bladder cancer.Methods:Bladder cancer T24 cells were cultured in vitro and divided into blank group (untreated), mimetic control group, miR-144-3p mimetic transfection group, inhibitor control group, and miR-144-3p inhibitor transfection group. Real time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to verify the transfection effect, methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) method was used to detect the survival rate of cells treated with cisplatin in each group, and Western blot was used to detect the expression of the target protein. The targeting relationship between miR-144-3p and nuclear factor E2 related factor 2 (Nrf2) was validated using dual fluorescence reporter gene experiments. Furthermore, Nrf2 was knocked out in each group of cells, and the mRNA and protein expression levels of HO-1, Bcl-2, and Caspase-3 were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot in each group of cells.Results:Compared with the control group, bladder cancer cells in the miR-144-3p mimetic transfection group were more sensitive to cisplatin, while the miR-144-3p inhibitor transfection group had the opposite effect; The miR-144-3p simulant transfection group can effectively inhibit the mRNA and protein expression level of Nrf2 in bladder cancer cells (all P<0.05), while the miR-144-3p inhibitor transfection group can up regulate the mRNA and protein level of Nrf2 (all P<0.05). The miR-144-3p mimetic transfection group showed significant downregulation of mRNA and protein expression of HO-1 and Bcl-2, while the expression of Caspase-3 was upregulated (all P<0.05), while the miR-144-3p inhibitor transfection group showed the opposite results. The luciferase results confirmed that miR 144 3p can directly bind to the 3′- UTR region of Nrf2, reducing the mRNA level of Nrf2. When Nrf2 was knocked out, whether miR-144-3p mimetic transfection group or miR-144-3p inhibitor transfection group, the mRNA and protein expression levels of HO-1, Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 did not change significantly, and miR-144-3p lost the ability to regulate the cisplatin sensitivity of bladder cancer cells. Conclusions:miR-144-3p targets to regulate the sensitivity of Nrf2 to cisplatin in bladder cancer, and miR-144-3p is expected to become a new target for the treatment of cisplatin resistant or refractory bladder cancer.

Objective: This paper studies the nutritional and vision health status of Tibetan migrant students and the differences between the local students in Lanzhou and them to provide a theoretical basis for nutrition intervention and vision protection for students. Methods: Cluster sampling method was used to select 2 434 students migrating from Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture to a boarding middle school, and 3 291 students from three middle schools in Qilihe District of Lanzhou from September to December 2020. All the students were administered physical and visual examination. Proportion of nutritional status, poor eyesight and myopia by gender and age groups between Tibetan migrant students and local students were analyzed. Results: The detection rate of overweight and obesity in Tibetan migrant boys(2.8%,5.7%) and girls(11.0%,8.3%) was lower than that of local students of the same sex(5.6%,8.3%;24.9%,20.9%) ( χ 2=12.17,7.21, P <0.05; χ 2=81.33,91.34, P <0.05); The detection rate of malnutrition in Tibetan migrant boys(9.9%) was higher than that in local boys(7.2%) ( χ 2=6.65, P <0.05). The detection rate of poor vision in Tibetan migrant boys was lower than that in local boys ( χ 2=3.93, P <0.05). The detection rate of myopia was significantly lower than that of local students ( χ 2=975.82, P <0.01). The detection rate of abnormal color vision in Tibetan migrant boys was higher than that in local boys ( χ 2=8.38, P <0.05). The detection rate of abnormal color vision in Tibetan migrant girls was lower than that in local girls ( χ 2=8.08, P <0.05). The detection rate of mild and moderate visual impairment was lower among Tibetan migrant boys than local boys ( χ 2=3.88, 8.32, P <0.05); the detection rate of mild, moderate and severe myopia was lower than local boys ( χ 2= 13.72 ,55.96, 338.50, P <0.05). The detection rate of mild, moderate and severe myopia was lower among Tibetan migrant girls than local girls ( χ 2=7.62, 37.79,424.00, P <0.05). Conclusion Tibetan migrant students was lower than that of local students. More attention should be paid to nutrition intake of Tibetan boys to prevent malnutrition. The detection rate of myopia in Tibetan migrant students is low,but the detection rate of severe poor vision among Tibetan students in the junior high school group is higher than that of local students, and attention should be paid to the visual health of Tibetan students in junior high school.

Objective: To understand the status quo and differences of the rights and interests of primary medical staff in a community, and to provide targeted suggestions for improving the rights of such staff. Methods: From October to November 2018, a questionnaire survey was conducted on all the medical staff of 8 community health service centers in a district of Shanghai, and 562 valid samples were obtained. Results: The primary medical staff had the highest demands for " pay rise" (4.783±0.598), " paid vacation" (4.569±0.873)and " additional reserve fund" (4.553±0.963); the lowest demands were placed on " education-based promotion" (3.797±1.382), " refresher training" (3.801±1.314), and " opinion feedback mechanism" (4.018±1.223). At the same time, the rights and interests of these staff in different occupational categories were significantly different(P<0.05)in " daily reimbursement" , " housing subsidy" , " refresher training" and " opinion feedback mechanism" . Conclusions The salary demands of the primary medical staff are the most obvious, and there are differences in the demands of medical staff in different occupational categories. It is suggested to establish a more reasonable salary system and pay attention to the differentiated appeals of different medical personnel.
