Enamel demineralization, the formation of white spot lesions, is a common issue in clinical orthodontic treatment. The appearance of white spot lesions not only affects the texture and health of dental hard tissues but also impacts the health and aesthetics of teeth after orthodontic treatment. The prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of white spot lesions that occur throughout the orthodontic treatment process involve multiple dental specialties. This expert consensus will focus on providing guiding opinions on the management and prevention of white spot lesions during orthodontic treatment, advocating for proactive prevention, early detection, timely treatment, scientific follow-up, and multidisciplinary management of white spot lesions throughout the orthodontic process, thereby maintaining the dental health of patients during orthodontic treatment.

The prevalence of Class III malocclusion varies among different countries and regions. The populations from Southeast Asian countries (Chinese and Malaysian) showed the highest prevalence rate of 15.8%, which can seriously affect oral function, facial appearance, and mental health. As anterior crossbite tends to worsen with growth, early orthodontic treatment can harness growth potential to normalize maxillofacial development or reduce skeletal malformation severity, thereby reducing the difficulty and shortening the treatment cycle of later-stage treatment. This is beneficial for the physical and mental growth of children. Therefore, early orthodontic treatment for Class III malocclusion is particularly important. Determining the optimal timing for early orthodontic treatment requires a comprehensive assessment of clinical manifestations, dental age, and skeletal age, and can lead to better results with less effort. Currently, standardized treatment guidelines for early orthodontic treatment of Class III malocclusion are lacking. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the etiology, clinical manifestations, classification, and early orthodontic techniques for Class III malocclusion, along with systematic discussions on selecting early treatment plans. The purpose of this expert consensus is to standardize clinical practices and improve the treatment outcomes of Class III malocclusion through early orthodontic treatment.

The inappropriate utilisation of the agricultural insecticide lambda-cyhalothrin (LCT) has the potential to result in residues that compromise food safety and human health. Respiratory exposure represents a major route of LCT contact in humans. Nevertheless, its deleterious effects on the respiratory system remain inadequately characterized. It is imperative to elucidate the potential relationship and mechanisms by which lung cancer, a significant malignant neoplasm of the respiratory system, is associated with exposure to LCT. The objective of this study is to utilise bioinformatics methodologies to screen and analyse the key target molecules affected by LCT in the occurrence of lung cancer, and their mechanisms of action. Specifically, network toxicology methods were employed to identify core targets of LCT-induced lung cancer. Subsequently, functional annotation to delineate associated cellular pathways, and finally, molecular docking to simulate binding modes between LCT and shared core targets. Core target screening identified 50 targets for large cell lung cancer, 54 for small cell lung cancer, 29 for lung squamous cell carcinoma, and 28 for lung adenocarcinoma, with EGFR, HSP90AA1, JUN, CCL2, MYC, CXCL8, and HSPA4 shared in all subtypes. Functional annotation revealed that LCT-triggered oncogenic pathways predominantly involved ubiquitination, chemotaxis, and tumor immune signaling. Molecular docking demonstrated spontaneous binding of LCT to core targets mediated by hydrogen bonds and π-cation interactions. These results establish a theoretical framework for evaluating LCT-associated risks of lung cancer and respiratory system damage.

Heart failure is one of the main cardiovascular system diseases at present， and it is a clinical syndrome caused by changes in cardiac structure and function， resulting in impaired ejection function or ventricular filling. Therefore， heart failure has become the most important cardiovascular disease in the 21^st century. In recent years， the incidence of heart failure is increasing， and the survival rate of patients with heart failure is very low. Traditional Chinese medicine has rich experience in preventing and treating heart failure. With the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine， more and more attention has been paid to the research， development， and application of active ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages in improving the heart function of patients with heart failure by treating multiple targets and multiple pathways through syndrome differentiation. Astragalus membranacus， a traditional Chinese medicine， is a kind of medicine that benefits Qi and blood circulation and removes evil spirits. It has the functions of improving myocardial energy metabolism and hemodynamics， protecting myocardial muscle， and promoting angiogenesis. Astragalus membranaceus is often used to treat patients with heart failure， yielding remarkable results. In recent years， it has been found that astragaloside， Astragalus polysaccharide， quercetin， calyx isoflavones， and other main active ingredients of Astragalus membranacus can improve cardiac function and treat heart failure by inhibiting inflammatory response， myocardial apoptosis， and myocardial fibrosis. This paper reviewed the research progress of the action and mechanism of the active ingredients of Astragalus membranacus in the treatment of heart failure by studying relevant literature， with a view to providing a reference for its further research， development， and application in the prevention and treatment of heart failure.

Background The course of schizophrenia is prolonged,and patients have impaired social function and significantly reduced quality of life.Drug therapy combined with psychological therapy is particularly important for improving the quality of life of patients.Brief cognitive behavioral therapy(BCBT)has been widely applied in clinical practice,but current research on BCBT focuses more on improving patients' symptoms and lacks relevant reports on improving quality of life.Objective To evaluate the efficacy and influencing factors of BCBT combined with conventional treatment on improving the quality of life in patients with schizophrenia.Methods A total of 210 patients who met the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia in the International Classification of Diseases(10th edition)(ICD-10)and were followed up at the outpatient department of Beijing Anding Hospital Capital Medical University from August 2011 to December 2016 were selected.Using a random number table method,patients were divided into study group and control group,with 105 cases in each group.Both groups received routine treatment,and the research group received a total of 8 BCBT sessions for 12 weeks on this basis.At the baseline period and 12 weeks of treatment,26 weeks of follow-up and 52 weeks of follow-up,Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale(PANSS),Personal and Social Performance Scale(PSP)and World Health Organization Quality of Life Brief(WHOQOL-BREF)were used for evaluation.Results The results of repeated measures analysis of variance showed that the time point effect and interaction effect of PANSS total score were statistically significant(F=118.783,8.083,P<0.01).The time point effect,inter group effect and interaction effect of PSP total score were statistically significant(F=94.358,4.048,5.490,P<0.05 or 0.01).The time point effect,inter group effect and interaction effect of the total score of WHOQOL-BREF were all statistically significant(F=12.330,4.168,4.142,P<0.05 or 0.01)Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that the study group(OR=1.861,95%CI:1.004～3.448)and young age(OR=1.044,95%CI:1.001～1.088)were protective factors for improving quality of life of patients,while high PANSS baseline score(OR=0.972,95%CI:0.945～0.999)was a risk factor for improving quality of life of patients.Conclusion The combination of BCBT and conventional treatment has an earlier onset of improvement in the quality of life of patients with schizophrenia,and long-term efficacy is superior to conventional treatment.

Objective:To explore the clinical phenotype and genetic etiology for a Chinese pedigree affected with Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).Methods:A pedigree with ADPKD diagnosed at the Department of Gynaecology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University in December 2020 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the pedigree was collected, and whole exome sequencing (WES) was carried out for the proband. Candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing of the proband and her relatives. This study was approved by the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University (Ethics No. KS-2018-KY-36).Results:Fetal ultrasonography showed increased volume and parenchymal echogenicity in both kidneys. The fetus was found to harbor c. 11098C>T (p.R3700C) and c.11039T>C (p.F3680S) compound heterozygous variants of the PKD1 gene, which were respectively inherited from its mother and father. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), both variants were predicted to be likely pathogenic (PM1+ PM2_Supporting+ PP3). Conclusion:The c. 11098C>T (p.R3700C) and c. 11039T>C (p.F3680S) compound heterozygous variants of the PKD1 gene probably underlay the ADPKD in the fetus. Above finding has provided guidance for the genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis for this pedigree.

To improve the effectiveness of bedside localization of nasointestinal tube(NIT)and facilitate the placement of nasointestinal tube into jejunum,we established a procedure and composed a teaching verse for bedside placement of nasointestinal tube based on relevant classical literature and our own practices.Verse content:enteral nutrition means a successful strategy to improve the outcome in critically ill patient management,never hesitate to place nasointestinal tubes when necessary.There are several methods to deal with it,but popularizing it remains a long way off.Half-sitting and swallowing into the esophagus,freely withdrawing signifies the stomach cavity.Passing through the pylorus using light tension on the tube in the right lateral decubitus position.Arriving at the jejunum with low resistance in the left lateral decubitus position.What are the signs of intragastric coiling?Tube return out of nose is the initial observation,Failure of air insufflation indicates tube coiling.Dyeing location surpasses imaging.Vacuum test is the most sensitive,Sequential change from acid to base is specific.Methylene blue test is dramatical for localization.Combining three methods is enough to navigate.Abdominal plain film is the goldan standard and can still be used in ultrasonic era.3-D image establishes overall view.CT reveals the tube route exactly.The teaching verse has become a powerful tool for clinical teaching of manual nasointestinal tube placement in a concise and easy-to-remember form.
