The phenotype of peri-implant soft tissue is crucial to the long-term treatment outcome of implant restoration, but soft tissue phenotype deficiencies are common in clinical practice and need to be improved through soft tissue augmentation. Although autologous soft tissue graft is still the gold standard for soft tissue augmentation, it has limitations such as limited donor area, increased trauma, and low patient acceptance. Plasmatrix has sufficient sources, is easy to prepare, and has a scaffold structure, growth factors, and cell components that support soft tissue growth. It can be used to improve the phenotype of peri-implant soft tissue. However, there are currently limited clinical studies on the application of plasmatrix in improving the phenotype of peri-implant soft tissue, and there is a lack of consensus conclusions, which makes the majority of clinicians feel confused when using plasmatrix. This article will try to combine existing clinical studies and the clinical experience of the author′s team to explain the classification of peri-implant soft tissue phenotypes and the application of plasmatrix in improving soft tissue phenotypes, in order to provide a reference for related clinical treatments.

With the rapid development of implant dentistry,increasing attention has been paid to the long-term stability and aesthetic outcomes of dental implants,among which sufficient volume and quality of soft and hard tissues are considered crucial contributing factors for successful treatment outcomes.Among the various available tissue regeneration strategies,plasmatrix,an autologous biomaterial derived from the patient's own peripheral blood,has demonstrated unique and significant clinical value in the re-generation and augmentation of both soft and hard tissues associated with dental implant therapy in recent years.This notable potential is primarily attributed to its rich content of multiple growth factors,viable cells,and a supportive fibrin scaffold,along with its excellent biocompatibility,tunable biodegradation profile,and a relatively simple and rapid preparation process that does not require complex laboratory equipment.As a result,its clinical applications have been continuously expanding across a wide range of indications.Based on a comprehensive review of the existing literature and current research evidence,this article provides an in-depth summary of the advancements in both basic science and clinical applica-tions of plasmatrix in the context of implant dentistry.Particular attention is given to its classification from a materials science perspective,underlying molecular mechanisms,biological effects in promoting tissue regeneration,and its implementation under different clinical scenarios.Furthermore,the article discusses unresolved technical challenges and existing controversies,and outlines potential future directions for re-search and technological innovation,aiming to provide robust evidence-based guidance for clinical prac-tice as well as a theoretical and methodological reference for future scientific investigations.

By conducting retrospective analysis, this study aim to investigate the resistance mechanism of quinolones in non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS). A total of 105 strains of NTS isolated from clinical specimens from the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University from May 2020 to February 2021 were used as research objects. VITEK2 Compact automatic identification drug sensitivity analysis system and serological test were used to identify the strains. The sensitivity of the strains to ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin and nalidixic acid was detected by AGAR dilution method. The whole genome of 105 strains of NTS was sequenced. Abricate and other softwares were used to analyze drug-resistant genes, including plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance gene (PMQR) and Quinolone resistance determination region (QRDR). Serotypes and ST types were analyzed using SISTR and MLST, and phylogenetic trees were constructed. The results showed that the NTS isolated in this region were mainly ST34 Salmonella typhimurium (53.3%). The drug sensitivity results showed that the drug resistance rates of NTS to ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin and nalidixic acid were 30.4%, 1.9% and 22.0%, respectively, and the intermediate rates of ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin were 27.6% and 54.2%.A total of 46 (74.2%) of the 62 quinolone non-susceptible strains carried the PMQR gene, mainly qnrS1 (80.4%), followed by aac(6′)-Ib-cr(15.2%); there were 14 NTS and 8 NTS had gyrA and parC gene mutations, respectively. The gyrA was mutations at the amino acid position 87, Asp87Tyr, Asp87Asn, Asp87Gly, and Thr57Ser mutations were detected in parC. In conclusion, this study found that NTS had relatively high resistance to quinolones, carrying qnrS1 gene mainly resulted in decreased sensitivity of NTS to ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin, and gyrA:87 mutation mainly resulted in NTS resistance to Nalidixic acid; Salmonella typhimurium in clinical isolates showed clonal transmission and required further epidemiological surveillance.

[Objective]To investigate the association between screen content and the frequency of screen exposure at the age of one and a half years and hyperactive behavior in preschool,and to explore how the association is affected by the interaction between outdoor activities and screen behaviors,which could provide theoretical basis and feasible solutions for the prevention and intervention of behavioral problems in childhoood.[Methods]The survey was conducted from June 2022 to June 2023 in Huicheng District,Huizhou (China) stratified by whole cluster sampling methods. Parents and teachers of 5648 children in 61 kindergartens were sampled for questionnaire surveys. The Conners Teacher Rating Scale (TRS) was used to investigate hyperactive behavior. A self-administered questionnaire was used to investigate basic demographic information of children,screen content,frequency of screen exposure and outdoor activities at the age of one and a half years. Multivariate logistic regression was used to explore the association between video screen behavior and hyperactive behavior and its interaction with outdoor activities by controlling for covariates such as children's age,gender,and parental education.[Results]Result showed the overall prevalence of 3.2％ for hyperactive behavior,2.1％ for conduct problems,2.1％ for hyperactivity problems,1.3％ for inattention-passivity problems,and 0.9％ for hyperactivity index. After adjusting for confounding factors,multiple logistic regression analysis showed that screen exposure of "two to four times a week" at one and a half years old was associated with an increased detection rate of hyperactive behaviors in preschool children,with an estimated ORs (95％ CI) of 1.682 (1.141,2.480). Daily screen exposure was associated with increased detection rates of hyperactive behavior,conduct problems,hyperactivity issues,inattention-passivity problems,and hyperactivity index in pre-school age. The estimated ORs (95％ CI) were 2.136 (1.218,3.746),2.321 (1.185,4.546),2.300 (1.208,4.380),2.776 (1.267,6.085) and 3.640 (1.525,8.687),respectively. But the above associations were not found in children who were engaged in daily outdoor activities at the age of one and a half years (P value for interaction<0.001). No association was found between screen content and hyperactive behavior (P>0.05).[Conclusions]Frequency of screen exposure in early childhood is significantly associated with hyperactive behavior problems in preschool,and outdoor activities could weaken the correlation between high-frequency screen exposure and hyperactive behavior,suggesting that parents and schools should prioritize scientifically guiding children's video viewing behavior and outdoor activities,ensuring a well-arranged daily life,to lay a good foundation for the healthy development of children's behavior.

Objective To investigate noise management-associated behavioural intentions of ICU nurses and identify the factors that influence the intentions under the framework of the Theory of Planned Behaviour so as to provide references for proposing a noise management programme for ICU. Methods Objective sampling method was used to conduct semi-structured interviews with 17 ICU nurses in our hospital. The interview data were analysed with the method of Colaizzi seven-step analysis to extract themes. Results A total of 3 themes and 9 sub-themes were extracted. The themes together with the sub-themes included:the different behaviours and attitudes of ICU nurses (actively controlling noise sources,negatively responding to noise management);being influenced by multifaceted subjective norms (engaging in active management after noise event,responding to patient requests and team reminders and supervision);and limited perceptual behavioural control (require improvement in noise management,lack of knowledge in noise management,complex work scenarios lead to the neglect of noise management,and lack of training in noise management). Conclusion It is found that while ICU nurses generally hold a positive attitude towards noise management,there are still many challenges in the implementation process. ICU nursing staff are recommended to improve the awareness of the importance of noise management,establish the noise management system,conduct relevant training,and to develop a systematic,comprehensive and sustainable noise management strategy,therefore to reduce ICU noise levels and improve the hospital experience of the patients.

Objective:To provide a promising and optimal laboratory susceptibility-testing method for the clinical usage of antibiotic (polymyxin), four susceptibility-testing methods were performed and the broth microdilution (BMD) was chosen as the gold standard.Methods:A total number of eighty-eight nonduplicate clinical Enterobacteriaceae specimes were collected from January to December of 2019 in the First Affiliated Hospital, Fujian Medical University. Among the clinical specimens, of which six strains were positive for mcr-1. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of polymyxin of the clinical specimens were examined by the following methods: (1) broth microdilution, (2) colistin broth disk elution, (3) Vitek-2?, (4)BD PhoenixTM,(5)commercial broth microdilution. With BMD as reference, essential agreement (EA), categorical agreement(CA), very major error(VME) and major error (ME) of polymyxins for different methods were analyzed. The Kappa-consistency testing, paired Chi-square testing and the Spearman-rank correlation testing were used to analyze the consistency between the four antimicrobial susceptibility testing methods and the gold standard.Results:Taking broth microdilution as reference, the EA of colistin broth disk elution, Vitek-2?, BD PhoenixTM, commercial broth microdilution were 94.32% (83/88), 92.05% (81/88), 90.90% (80/88), and 96.59%(85/88), respectively. The CA of all the four methods were 100% (88/88). No VME and ME were recorded for four methods. Moreover, the consistency between four susceptibility testing methods and the gold standard is acceptable (Kappa values=1, P<0.001, McNemar test P=1 and r>0.5, P<0.05). Conclusions:In the present work, four susceptibility testing methods all met the standards recommended jointly by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute and European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing, of which the performance of the commercial broth microdilution and CBDE fared relatively well. Thus, these four methods could be routinely used in clinical microbiology laboratory of our hospital for colistin and polymyxin B susceptibility testing.
