Protrusive facial deformities, characterized by the forward displacement of the teeth and/or jaws beyond the normal range, affect a considerable portion of the population. The manifestations and morphological mechanisms of protrusive facial deformities are complex and diverse, requiring orthodontists to possess a high level of theoretical knowledge and practical experience in the relevant orthodontic field. To further optimize the correction of protrusive facial deformities, this consensus proposes that the morphological mechanisms and diagnosis of protrusive facial deformities should be analyzed and judged from multiple dimensions and factors to accurately formulate treatment plans. It emphasizes the use of orthodontic strategies, including jaw growth modification, tooth extraction or non-extraction for anterior teeth retraction, and maxillofacial vertical control. These strategies aim to reduce anterior teeth and lip protrusion, increase chin prominence, harmonize nasolabial and chin-lip relationships, and improve the facial profile of patients with protrusive facial deformities. For severe skeletal protrusive facial deformities, orthodontic-orthognathic combined treatment may be suggested. This consensus summarizes the theoretical knowledge and clinical experience of numerous renowned oral experts nationwide, offering reference strategies for the correction of protrusive facial deformities.

Objective:To assess the effects of nutritional interventions combined with Traditional Chinese Med-icine(TCM)physical dialectics on the development of gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM),dietary status during pregnancy,and maternal and infant outcomes in high-risk pregnant women in early pregnancy.Methods:298 high-risk pregnant women with GDM in early pregnancy(gestational week≤14 weeks)registered in the Obstet-rics Department of Urumqi Maternal and Child Health Hospital from 1st December 2022 to 30th March 2023 were selected as the study subjects and randomly divided into the intervention group(149 cases)and the control group(149 cases).During 14 to 23+6 weeks of pregnancy,TCM constitution nutritional intervention was carried out for pregnant women in the intervention group,and routine guidance and healthy dietary education was carried out in the control group.The incidence of GDM in the two groups was compared at 24-28 weeks of pregnancy,and the relationship between early pregnancy nutritional intervention combined with TCM constitution and the risk of GDM was analysed in subgroups using logistic regression and likelihood ratio test.The dietary situation,biochemical in-dexes and delivery outcomes after the intervention were compared at 32-36 weeks of pregnancy.Results:①The incidence of GDM in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the control group(14.09%vs.23.49%,P<0.05).The effect of the TCM constitution based nutritional intervention on the risk probability of GDM was statistically significant only among pregnant women with different ranges of gestational weight gain(GWG)(P=0.018).Among them,pregnant women with GWG lower than the recommended range had a reduced risk of GDM after intervention(OR 0.27,95%Cl 0.10-0.68,P=0.008).② After intervention,the evaluation index of di-etary balance index of pregnant women in the intervention group was better than that of the control group(P<0.05),and the intake of cereals and potatoes,vegetables,and water of pregnant women in late pregnancy in the intervention group was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).③The levels of triglycerides,total choles-terol,low-density lipoprotein,glycated haemoglobin,uric acid and creatinine of pregnant women in the intervention group were lower than those of the control group in late pregnancy(P<0.05).GWG,gestational age at delivery,the rate of low-birth-weight,and the neonatal 1-minute Apgar scores were all better than those of the control group(P<0.05.Conclusions:Nutritional interventions in early pregnancy combined with TCM constitution can sig-nificantly reduce the incidence of GDM in high-risk pregnant women and the chances of low-birth-weight babies.Obstetrics outpatient clinics can actively develop extensive collaboration with TCM and clinical nutrition depart-ments to reduce adverse pregnancy outcomes for both mother and fetus.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic value of gene testing in familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) in patients with premature myocardial infarction(PMI).Methods:This study was a single center cross-sectional study. A retrospective analysis was made on PMI patients who visited the People′s Hospital of Peking University from May 1, 2015 to March 31, 2017. Clinical data of patients was collected and gene testing of FH related genes low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), apolipoprotein B(APOB) and low density lipoprotein receptor adaptor protein 1(LDLRAP1) was carried out. Clinical diagnosis of FH patients was performed using Simon Broome criteria, DLCN criteria, and FH Chinese expert consensus.Results:There were 188 males (83.6%) among 225 PMI patients, and the age of the first myocardial infarction was (46.6±7.2) years old. Ten patients carried FH pathogenic or possibly pathogenic mutations (4.4%). Compared with Simon Broome standard, DLCN standard and FH Chinese expert consensus, gene testing increased the diagnostic rate of FH by 53.3%, 33.3% and 42.1% respectively.Conclusion:Gene testing is helpful to improve the diagnosis of FH, and it is important to start the standard treatment of FH as early as possible in patients with premature myocardial infarction.
