This article summarizes and organizes relevant publications in journals, along with a review of medical history, systematically summarizing the development process of dental alveolar surgery in China. The initial establishment phase (1935—1952) marked the starting point of Chinese Alveolar Surgery. Despite the impact of wars, it laid the foundation for subsequent research and practice. During the early development phase (1953—1966), the "Chinese Journal of Stomatology" was founded, which promoted the development of Alveolar Surgery. Research focused on tooth extraction methods and complications. Tooth Transplantation and Preprosthetic Surgery gradually began to take off. The stagnant phase (1967—1977) occurred due to the interruption of international exchanges, leading to an almost complete halt in the development of Alveolar Surgery. Entering the rapid catch-up phase (1978—1985), Alveolar Surgery scholars in China began striving to overcome the stagnation of the previous decade. While some progress was made, no significant innovative achievements emerged. In the scientific development phase (1986—2010), clinical research, basic experiments, and paper writing in modern Chinese Alveolar Surgery began to adhere to scientific standards with the rise of experimental medicine. The exploration and innovation stage (2011—2023) is the current development phase, during which Chinese Aveolar Surgery has reached its peak, making substantial progress in technology, clinical practices, and basic research, gradually reaching or even surpassing international advanced levels. Looking back at the development history in China, we can find the wisdom and hard work of the older generation of Alveolar Surgery scholars. However, contemporary challenges and issues, such as standardizing technology, promoting clinical practices, and talent cultivation, need to be addressed by present-day Alveolar Surgery professionals as they forge ahead.

Objective:To investigate whether residual dental follicles in the alveolar socket after extraction of impacted mandibular third molars affect the periodontal health of adjacent mandibular second molars, in order to provide clinical reference for the management of residual dental follicles after third molar extraction.Methods:A total of 82 patients who underwent bilateral impacted mandibular third molar extraction at the Department of Oral Surgery, School and Hospital of Stomatology Wuhan University, from November 1, 2020, to November 30, 2022, were included in the study. Using a self-controlled method, each patient′s bilateral mandibular third molars were randomly divided into two groups: Group A underwent third molar extraction with thorough removal of residual dental follicle tissue, while Group B underwent third molar extraction without any treatment of the remaining dental follicle tissue. Operation time and adverse reactions were recorded. Clinical and radiographic examinations were performed at 6-month follow-up to evaluate the periodontal parameters and alveolar bone height of the bilateral mandibular second molars, and differences between the two groups were compared.Results:All patients had successful bilateral mandibular third molar extractions, and no serious complications occurred intraoperatively or postoperatively. There were no statistically significant differences in surgical time, postoperative pain, or facial swelling between the two groups ( P>0.05). At the 6-month follow-up, the probing depth on the distal aspect of the mandibular second molars in Group A [2.67 (2.00, 3.67) mm] was significantly less than that in Group B [4.00 (3.00, 5.00) mm] ( Z=-6.55, P<0.001). The clinical attachment loss on the distal aspect of the mandibular second molars in Group A [1.00 (0.00, 3.00) mm] was less than that in Group B [3.00 (2.00, 5.00) mm] ( Z=-5.99, P<0.001). The distance from the alveolar crest to the cementoenamel junction on the distal aspect of the mandibular second molars in Group A [(1.86±1.34) mm] was less than that in Group B [(3.04± 1.89) mm] ( t=-6.87, P<0.001). In patients aged≥20 years, the probability of recovery of alveolar bone height to normal level on the distal aspect of the mandibular second molars in Group A [42.3% (11/26)] was significantly higher than that in Group B [0 (0/26)] ( P<0.01), while there was no statistically significant difference between Group A [63.3% (19/30)] and Group B [46.7% (14/20)] in patients aged<20 years ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Residual dental follicles in the alveolar socket after extraction of impacted mandibular third molars adversely affect the periodontal health of adjacent teeth. Thorough removal of residual dental follicles during impacted mandibular third molar extraction is beneficial for the postoperative recovery of alveolar bone height of the distal aspect of the mandibular second molars, especially in patients aged≥20 years.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the quality of research and evidence related to antihypertensive Chinese patent medicines combined with western medicines for the treatment of hypertension， synthesize and update the evidence， form expert consensus， and provide evidence for clinical decision-making. MethodThe databases of China National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI）， WanFang Data Knowledge Service Platform （WanFang）， Vip Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database （VIP）， Chinese Biomedical Literature Service System （Sinomed）， National Library of Medicine （PubMed）， Cochrane Library， Web of Science， and US Clinical Trials Registry were searched for randomized controlled trials of antihypertensive Chinese medicine combined with western medicine for the treatment of hypertension from database construction to July 31， 2022. The quality of the literature was evaluated using the bias risk assessment tool in Cochrane Handbook 6.3. Evidence synthesis of main outcome indicators was performed using R software. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment， Development， and Evaluation profiler （GRADEprofiler） 3.6 was employed to evaluate the quality of evidence. Expert consensus was formed based on the Delphi method after two rounds of voting. Result64 pieces of literature were included， and the results of literature quality evaluation and risk of bias showed that 70.31% （45/64） of the studies indicated some risks， and 29.69% （19/64） indicated high risks. Compared with conventional western medicines， the combination of Chinese patent medicines with western medicines can significantly lower systolic pressure （SBP） and diastolic pressure （DBP）， increase the effective rate of antihypertensive， reduce the incidence of adverse reactions， endothelin-1， and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores. Egger's test showed that Songling Xuemaikang capsules reduced SBP and DBP. Tianma Gouteng granules reduced SBP and DBP and increased the effective rate of antihypertensive， and Xinmaitong capsules reduced SBP and increased the effective rate of antihypertensive， without significant publication bias. Songling Xuemaikang capsules increased the effective rate of antihypertensive， and Xinmaitong capsules decreased DBP， with significant publication bias. The results of the GRADE evidence quality evaluation showed that most evidence was at grades B and C. Finally， four strong recommendations and 14 weak recommendations were formed. ConclusionCompared with conventional western medicines for the treatment of hypertension， antihypertensive Chinese patent medicines combined with western medicines have advantages in reducing blood pressure and improving drug use safety， but they are mostly weak recommendations in terms of efficacy， and more high-quality evidence is needed.

Objective:To explore the effects of different excipients and rhubarb powder in interfering with TCM solid constipation in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.Methods:Totally 120 tumor patients who developed solid constipation after chemotherapy during hospitalization from May 2019 to May 2021 in the Department of Oncology, Guang'anmen Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences by convenience sampling and divided into an observation group and a control group according to the random number table, with 60 cases in each group. On the basis of the routine treatment and nursing protocol, patients in the control group received acupoint sticking with Kaisailu and rhubarb powder, and patients in the observation group were treated with sesame oil and rhubarb powder for acupoint sticking.

Conclusions:Acupoint sticking of rhubarb prepared with sesame oil can better relieve chemotherapy-induced constipation than that prepared with Kaisailu, and the adverse reactions rate is low.

Histone lysine specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) has been recognized as an important modulator in post-translational process in epigenetics. Dysregulation of LSD1 has been implicated in the development of various cancers. Herein, we report the discovery of the hit compound (IC = 3.93 μmol/L) and further medicinal chemistry efforts, leading to the generation of compound (IC = 49 nmol/L, and = 16 nmol/L), which inhibited LSD1 reversibly and competitively with H3K4me2, and was selective to LSD1 over MAO-A/B. Docking studies were performed to rationalize the potency of compound . Compound also showed strong antiproliferative activity against four leukemia cell lines (OCL-AML3, K562, THP-1 and U937) as well as the lymphoma cell line Raji with the IC values of 1.79, 1.30, 0.45, 1.22 and 1.40 μmol/L, respectively. In THP-1 cell line, significantly inhibited colony formation and caused remarkable morphological changes. Compound induced expression of CD86 and CD11b in THP-1 cells, confirming its cellular activity and ability of inducing differentiation. The findings further indicate that targeting LSD1 is a promising strategy for AML treatment, the triazole-fused pyrimidine derivatives are new scaffolds for the development of LSD1/KDM1A inhibitors.

Objective To investigate the clinical,endoscopic and pathological features of gastritis cystica profunda (GCP).Methods A total of 40 patients with GCP confirmed by pathology who received endoscopic or surgical treatment at Renji Hospital,School of Medicine,Shanghai Jiaotong University from May 2013 to May 2018,were included in the retrospective analysis.The clinical data such as population composition,clinical manifestations,endoscopic findings and pathological results were summarized and analyzed.Results Among the 40 patients were predominantly males (75.0％,30/40),and the mean age of onset was 61.2 years.The most common sites were cardia (32.5％,13/40) and gastric antrum (30.0％,12/40).The clinical symptoms of the patients were atypical and it was difficult to diagnose GCP with routine endoscopy examination.The endoscopic findings were mostly type 0-Ⅱ (50.0％,20/40).GCP with neoplastic lesions accounted for 55％ (22/40).Unconditional logistic regression analysis showed that male (P =0.013,OR =31.093,95％ CI:2.079-464.976) and Helicobacter pylori infection (P =0.041,OR =10.225,95％ CI:1.096-95.411) were risk factors for GCP with neoplastic lesions.Conclusion GCP commonly occurs in middle-aged and elderly men,and varies in different manifestations under white light endoscopy.GCP is not a benign lesion,but can also coexist with neoplastic lesions,which are mostly differentiated intramucosal cancer.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the liver T1rho values for detecting fibrosis, and the potential impact of fatty liver on T1rho measurements. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study included 18 healthy subjects, 18 patients with fatty liver, and 18 patients with liver fibrosis, who underwent T1rho MRI and mDIXON collections. Liver T1rho, proton density fat fraction (PDFF) and T2* values were measured and compared among the three groups. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to evaluate the T1rho values for detecting liver fibrosis. Liver T1rho values were correlated with PDFF, T2* values and clinical data. RESULTS: Liver T1rho and PDFF values were significantly different (p < 0.001), whereas the T2* (p = 0.766) values were similar, among the three groups. Mean liver T1rho values in the fibrotic group (52.6 ± 6.8 ms) were significantly higher than those of healthy subjects (44.9 ± 2.8 ms, p < 0.001) and fatty liver group (45.0 ± 3.5 ms, p < 0.001). Mean liver T1rho values were similar between healthy subjects and fatty liver group (p = 0.999). PDFF values in the fatty liver group (16.07 ± 10.59%) were significantly higher than those of healthy subjects (1.43 ± 1.36%, p < 0.001) and fibrosis group (1.07 ± 1.06%, p < 0.001). PDFF values were similar in healthy subjects and fibrosis group (p = 0.984). Mean T1rho values performed well to detect fibrosis at a threshold of 49.5 ms (area under the ROC curve, 0.855), had a moderate correlation with liver stiffness (r = 0.671, p = 0.012), and no correlation with PDFF, T2* values, subject age, or body mass index (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: T1rho MRI is useful for noninvasive detection of liver fibrosis, and may not be affected with the presence of fatty liver.
