Objective This study quantitatively analyzed the initial displacement and stress distribution of maxillary teeth and periodontal ligaments(PDLs)under different traction positions of Class Ⅱ elastics in the anterior region of fixed multibracket appliances,aiming to provide references for the optimal application of Class Ⅱ elastics.Methods A finite element model of the maxilla with Class Ⅱ elastics was established.Based on whether tooth extraction was performed and the traction positions of Class Ⅱ elastics in the maxillary anterior region,the models were divided into 4 groups and 8 working conditions.A 1.2 N load was applied between the maxillary anterior region and the tube of the mandibular first molar.The initial displacement of maxillary teeth and the von Mises stress of maxillary PDLs were analyzed.Results The finite element model of the maxilla with Class Ⅱelastics was successfully constructed.Class Ⅱ elastics induced lingual inclination,eruption,and retraction of maxillary anterior teeth.Variations in the traction positions of Class Ⅱ elastics resulted in differences in the initial displacement of maxillary teeth and the von Mises stress of PDLs.The maximum von Mises stress of PDLs ranged from 5.8 to 12.2 kPa across all working conditions.Conclusions Different traction positions of Class Ⅱelastics alter the torque,induce distinct deformation trends in the archwire,and thus affect tooth movement.Compared with attaching Class Ⅱ elastics to the maxillary canine bracket,attaching them to the hooks increases the tendency toward deep overbite,and this tendency is more pronounced in extraction models.For patients with Class Ⅱ,Division 1 malocclusion,anterior tooth protrusion,and a tendency toward open bite,applying Class Ⅱelastics on the occlusal side of the hooks may be more beneficial in alleviating open bite and enhancing the smile arc.However,the actual efficacy requires clinical verification.

Objective To understand the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of bacterial strains isolated from blood cultures at Yunyang County People's Hospital from 2019 to 2023.Methods The data of bacterial isolates from blood samples and the results of antimicrobial susceptibility testing were analyzed retrospectively from 2019 to 2023 at Yunyang County People's Hospital.Results A total of 3 789 bacterial strains were isolated from blood culture,including 1 931(51.0%)strains of Gram negative bacteria and 1 858(49.0%)strains of Gram positive bacteria.Coagulase negative Staphylococcus(33.3%),Escherichia coli(25.4%),Klebsiella pneumoniae(13.7%),Staphylococcus aureus(9.9%),and Enterobacter cloacae(1.8%)were the top five bacterial pathogens.Antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed that the prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains was 27.1%in S.aureus,34.5%in S.epidermidis,and 49.9%in other coagulase-negative Staphylococcus.Methicillin resistant strains(MRSA,MRSE,and other MRCNS)showed significantly higher resistance rates to most antibiotics than corresponding methicillin-susceptible strains(MSSA,MSSE,and other MSCNS).No staphylococcal isolates were resistant to vancomycin,teicoplanin,linezolid,or tigecycline.Enterococcus faecium showed significantly higher resistance rate to antibiotics than Enterococcus faecalis.No enterococcal strains were resistant to vancomycin,teicoplanin,linezolid,or tigecycline.No streptococcal isolates were found resistant to vancomycin or linezolid.Serratia marcescens strains had a resistance rate of 25.0%to carbapenems.All other Enterobacterales species showed a resistance rate of less than 10.0%to carbapenems.No Enterobacterales isolates were found resistant to tigecycline.The resistance rates of P.aeruginosa to imipenem and meropenem were 5.7%and 3.8%,respectively.No P.aeruginosa isolates were found resistant to colistin.The resistance rates of Acinetobacter baumannii to imipenem and meropenem were 41.4%and 38.0%,respectively.Conclusions The proportion of Gram negative bacteria is slightly higher than that of Gram positive bacteria in the bacterial isolates from blood samples at Yunyang County People's Hospital.The prevalence of MRSA and MRCNS is relatively high,while A.baumannii and S.marcescens showed high resistance rates to carbapenems.Antimicrobial resistance surveillance should be strengthened for the bacterial isolates from blood samples in order to learn the changing resistance profiles,use antibiotics reasonably,and prevent the spread of drug-resistant bacteria.

Objective To develop a high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(HPLC-MS/MS)method for simultaneous determination of five flavonoids in Ganmao'an granules(GMA).Methods Chromatographic separation was achieved on a Kromasil C18 Column(150 mm×4.6 mm,5 μm,100 ?),which was eluted with methanol(A)-0.1%formic acid(B)at the flow rate of 1.0 ml/min.The gradient condition was as follows:0-20 min,35%A,and 20-40 min,45%A.The column temperature was 25 ℃.Analytes were detected using a triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray ionization source in the negative ion scanning.The multiple reaction monitoring mode was used for qualitative analysis.For each flavonoid,two precursor ion/product ion transitions were chosen:lutin m/z 609.1→300.1,hyperin and isoquercitrin m/z 463.0→300.1,quercetin m/z 301.0→151.0,luteolin m/z 285.0→132.9.Results Five flavonoids showed the good relationships within their own concentration ranges(correlation coefficient r>0.999 1),whose average recoveries were in the range of 100.63%-102.81%with RSDs of 0.67%-2.07%.The content results of rutin,hyperoside,isoquercetin,quercetin,and luteolin in 10 batches of GMA were 32.23-479.83,0.291-1.825,11.44-20.54,6.32-18.41,3.46-6.51 μg/g,respectively.Conclusion The results indicated that the developed method was sensitive,accurate and could provide excellent specificity for simultaneous determination of five flavonoids in GMA.

Objective To explore the therapeutic efficacy of automatic peritoneal dialysis on elderly patients with cardiorenal syndrome(CRS).Methods A total of 260 elderly CRS patients treated at our hospital from January 2019 to January 2022 were recruited,and then randomly divided into an observation group and a control group,with 130 cases in each group.The control group received conventional basic treatment and symptomatic treatment,while the observation group received automated peritoneal dialysis treatment on this basis.Cardiac function indicators,renal function indicators,inflammatory factors,MAP and heart rate were compared between the two groups.Re-sults After treatment,significantly lower LVESD(26.29±1.19 mm vs 29.59±1.84 mm),LVEDD(47.43±1.39 mm vs 51.81±1.34 mm),LAD(30.74±1.15 mm vs 33.11±0.88 mm),and levels of NT-proBNP(1034.74±313.61 ng/L vs 2634.02±853.67 ng/L),urea(16.69±3.57 mmol/L vs 32.67±4.54 mmol/L),cystatin C(0.47±0.13 mg/L vs 0.61±0.15 mg/L),creatinine(254.74±41.15 mmol/L vs 394.09±38.61 mmol/L),TNF-α(144.14±23.16 mg/L vs 183.97± 23.37 mg/L)and hs-CRP(4.09±1.03 μg/L vs 5.45±1.17 μg/L),and higher LVEF(39.14± 4.48%vs 35.64±5.27%)were observed in the observation group than the control group(all P<0.01).There were no significant differences in heart rate and MAP between the two groups before and after treatment(P>0.05).Conclusion Automatic peritoneal dialysis can improve the cardiac and renal function and reduce inflammatory response in elderly CRS patients,and show positive significance for improving prognosis.
