Objective To observe impact factors of average glandular dose(AGD)of full field digital mammography(FFDM)and digital breast tomosynthesis(DBT)under breast Combo mode.Methods Totally 169 subjects who received FFDM and DBT under Combo mode were collected retrospectively.The breast compression thickness,tube voltage,tube current and AGD of FFDM and DBT exposure at cranio-caudal(CC)and mediolateral oblique(MLO)positions of bilateral breast were recorded.FFDM or DBT exposure conditions and AGD among different breast compression thickness and breast types were compared,and their correlations were analyzed.The impacts of breast compression thickness and breast density on AGD of FFDM or DBT were observed.Results There were significant differences in tube voltage,tube current and AGD of FFDM or DBT among different breast compression thicknesses(all P<0.001).With the increase of breast compression thickness,tube voltage,tube current and AGD of FFDM or DBT all increased(all P<0.001).There were statistical differences in breast compression thickness,tube voltage,tube current and AGD of FFDM or DBT among different types breast(all P<0.001).Hierarchical analysis showed that,when breast compression thickness was<50 mm,50-59 mm and>59 mm respectively,statistical differences in AGDFFDM and AGDDBT among different breast types at CC or MLO positions were found(all P<0.001).Under the same breast compression thickness,tube current,AGDFFDM and AGDDBT of FFDM or DBT all increased with the increase of breast density(all P<0.001),while tube voltage of FFDM or DBT had no obvious change(all P>0.05).Breast compression thickness and breast density were both independent factors of AGD of FFDM or DBT(all P<0.001).Conclusion Under breast Combo mode,breast compression thickness and gland density both had impacts on AGD of FFDM or DBT,and the former had more significant impact on AGD.

This consensus was developed by the Orthodontic Society of the Chinese Stomatological Association to provide a systematic, scientific, and practical guideline for informed consent in orthodontic care. Orthodontic treatment is typically lengthy, highly individualized, and involves multiple factors such as growth and development, occlusal function, and facial esthetics. Rapid technological advances and diverse risk profiles make the traditional reliance on orthodontist experience or institutional templates insufficient to ensure patients′ full understanding and autonomous decision-making. To address this, the expert panel conducted extensive reviews of domestic and international guidelines, analyzed representative dispute cases, and performed multicenter patient-clinician surveys. Using a multi-round Delphi method, the group established a standardized informed consent framework covering the initial consultation, treatment, and retention phases. The consensus emphasizes that informed consent is not only a fundamental legal and ethical requirement but also a key step in building trust, improving patient compliance, and enhancing treatment satisfaction. Orthodontists should clearly and comprehensively explain treatment plans, potential risks, uncertainties, and associated costs, while respecting the autonomy of patients or guardians, and maintain continuous communication and dynamic evaluation throughout the treatment process. The release of this consensus provides unified and authoritative guidance for clinical orthodontics, helping to standardize informed consent, enhance its transparency, safeguard patient rights, reduce medical risks, and promote high-quality, sustainable development of orthodontic practice.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect and mechanism of Zexie tang (ZXT) on reducing lipid accumulation through network pharmacology, and compare the difference of traditional decoction versus formula granules. METHODS The active components and targets of ZXT were identified using TCMSP and SwissTargetPrediction databases. GeneCards, OMIM, DisGeNET and TTD databases were used to analyze the related targets of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD); protein-protein interaction network model was constructed by String database;“ ZXT-NAFLD target-pathway” network diagram was constructed by using CytoScape software; target enrichment analysis was performed by using Metascape platform. Fat accumulation model of human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells was established to observe the effects of traditional decoction and formula granules of ZXT on lipid accumulation of cells. RESULTS Alisol B, alisol C, 1-monolinolein and alisol B monoacetate were the key active components of ZXT in the treatment of NAFLD. The core targets included MDM2, MAPK1, PIK3CB, PRKCQ and MAPK14, etc. The core signaling pathways included endocrine resistance, insulin resistance and Th17 cell differentiation. Compared with model group, except for the Zexie formula granules group and Baizhu formula granules group, the absorbance values in all other administration groups were significantly decreased (P<0.01); the absorbance value of Baizhu traditional decoction group was significantly higher than that of ZXT traditional decoction group (P<0.01); the absorbance values of Zexie formula granule group and Baizhu formula granule group were significantly higher than that of ZXT formula granule group (P<0.01); the absorbance value of Zexie formula granule group was significantly higher than that of Zexie traditional decoction group (P<0.01); the absorbance value of Baizhu formula granule group was significantly higher than that of Baizhu traditional decoction group (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS ZXT reduces lipid accumulation of human hepatocellular carcinoma cells through multiple components, multiple target and multiple pathways, and its traditional decoction and formula granules exhibit slightly different lipid-lowering effects.

Objective To explore the efficacy of progressive exercise training based on the modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale (mMRC) grading in respiratory rehabilitation for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) at a primary healthcare setting. Methods A total of 106 patients with COPD admitted to Zhuanqiao Community Health Service Center in Shanghai from Aug.1, 2022 to Jul. 30, 2024 were selected as research subjects. They were randomly divided into a study group and a control group in a 1∶1 ratio, with 53 patients in each group. The control group received conventional treatment, while the study group received conventional treatment combined with progressive exercise training. After 4 weeks of continuous treatment, the changes in the 6-minute walk test (6MWT), COPD assessment test (CAT) score, mMRC grading, Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) grading and pulmonary function were compared between the two groups. Results Patients in both groups showed improvements in 6MWT distance, CAT score, mMRC grading, GOLD grading, and pulmonary function compared to baseline (P<0.05). Moreover, the study group had better improvements in 6MWT distance, CAT score, mMRC grading, GOLD grading, and pulmonary function than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions Conventional treatment combined with progressive exercise training based on mMRC grading can enhance the effect of respiratory rehabilitation in patients with COPD, particularly in improving pulmonary function and exercise tolerance.

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.
