Objective To investigate the correlation between serum homeodomain interacting protein ki-nase 2(HIPK2),annexin A5(ANXA5)and coronary stenosis and prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods A total of 277 AMI patients who received interventional treatment in this hospi-tal from January 2021 to July 2023 were selected as the AMI group,and another 140 cases with normal or very mild stenosis in coronary angiography during the same period were selected as the control group.According to the degree of coronary artery stenosis(Gensini score),the AMI patients were divided into mild coronary arter-y stenosis group(86 cases),moderate coronary artery disease group(111 cases)and severe coronary artery disease group(80 cases).According to the prognosis,they were divided into poor prognosis group(80 cases)and good prognosis group(197 cases).Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the serum HIPK2 and ANXA5 levels.Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between serum HIPK2 and ANXA5 levels and Gensini score in patients with AMI.Multivariate unconditional Logistic regres-sion was used to determine the relationship between serum HIPK2 and ANXA5 levels and prognosis of AMI patients.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive efficiency of serum HIPK2 and ANXA5 levels on prognosis of AMI patients.Results Compared with the control group,the ser-um HIPK2 level in the AMI group increased and the ANXA5 level decreased,and the differences were statisti-cally significant(P＜0.05).The serum HIPK2 levels in the mild coronary artery stenosis group,moderate coronary artery stenosis group and severe coronary artery stenosis group increased successively,while the ANXA5 levels decreased successively,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Gensini score was positively correlated with serum HIPK2 level and negatively correlated with serum ANXA5 level in AMI patients(P＜0.05).The Gensini score of AMI patients was positively correlated with the serum HIPK2 level(r=0.785,P＜0.05),and negatively correlated with the serum ANXA5 level(r=-0.798,P＜0.05).Compared with the good prognosis group,the serum HIPK2 level in the poor prognosis group increased(P＜0.05),and the ANXA5 level decreased(P＜0.05).After adjusting for confounding factors,high HIPK2 was an independent risk factor for poor prognosis in AMI patients(P＜0.05),and high ANXA5 was an independ-ent protective factor(P＜0.05).The area under the curve of the combined prediction of serum HIPK2 and ANXA5 levels for the prognosis of AMI patients was 0.875,which was greater than 0.778 and 0.784 predic-ted by serum HIPK2 and ANXA5 levels alone(P＜0.05).Conclusion The serum HIPK2 level is increased and the ANXA5 level is decreased in patients with AMI,which is related to the aggravation of coronary steno-sis and the poor prognosis.The combination of serum HIPK2 and ANXA5 levels is more effective in predic-ting the prognosis of patients with AMI.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the aesthetic effects of anterior maxilla clockwise rotation combined with segmental Le Fort Ⅰ osteotomy and whole maxilla clockwise rotation on improving paranasal concavity in patients with Class Ⅲ maxillofacial deformity. METHODS: A non-randomized controlled trial was designed, and 21 patients diagnosed with skeletal Class Ⅲ maxillofacial deformity were included. In the study, 11 patients in the test group were treated by segmental Le Fort Ⅰ osteotomy combined with anterior maxilla clockwise rotation, and 10 patients in the control group were treated by whole maxilla clockwise rotation. The CBCT and 3D photography of preoperative (T0), 2 weeks postoperative (T1), and 6 months postoperative (T2) were collected respectively, and the three-dimensional cephalometry was carried out. The differences of specific parameters between the two groups were compared by independent sample t-test, including saggital displacement of the cheek mass point (CK) and subalare point (SA), nasolabial angle, occlusal plane angle and labial inclination angle of the upper incisor. RESULTS: There were no significant differences of the parameters on T0 between the two groups. The average sagittal displacement of the upper incisors of the test group was (-0.71±1.67) mm and smaller than that of control group [(2.26±1.68) mm], t=-4.052, P < 0.05. The average angle of the occlusal plane clockwise rotation of the test group was 1.46°±2.38° and smaller than that of the control group (4.31°±1.83°), t=-3.047, P < 0.05. The angle of anterior maxilla clockwise rotation was 11.73°±2.81° during the surgery. The average saggital displacement of the paranasal soft tissue landmarks of the test group from T0 to T2 was larger than that of the control group [CK point, (4.96±1.18) mm vs. (2.01± 1.50) mm, P < 0.05;SA point, (5.19±1.17) mm vs. (2.69±1.45) mm, P < 0.05]. The labial inclination angle of the upper incisor of the test group was 112.15°±5.40° in T2 and significantly smaller than that of the control group (122.38°±8.83°), t=-3.237, P < 0.05. The nasolabial angle of the test group was 106.54°±12.82° in T2 and significantly larger than that of the control group (93.90°±12.46°), t=2.288, P < 0.05. CONCLUSION Compared with whole maxilla clockwise rotation, anterior maxilla clockwise rotation combined with segmental Le Fort Ⅰ osteotomy can increase the saggital displacement of the paranasal soft tissue, correct labial inclination of the upper incisors and the acute naso-labial angle and better improve the paranasal aesthetic defects in patients with Class Ⅲ maxillofacial deformity with less changing on the saggital orientation of the upper incisors and the occlusal plane angle.

Objective:To study the implementation progress of the prevention and control measures for drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis and the changing trend of fluorosis conditions in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness of prevention and control measures, and provide a basis for the next step of prevention and control of the disease.Methods:In 2015 and 2023, a cross-sectional survey method was used to investigate the water improvement situation, the operation of water improvement projects, the detection of fluoride level in water, and the prevalence of dental fluorosis in children aged 8 to 12 in all affected villages of 11 leagues (cities) in the entire autonomous region. The prevention and control effect of drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis in the entire autonomous region was evaluated.Results:The water improvement rates of all affected villages in the entire autonomous region in 2015 and 2023 were 84.12% (8 218/9 769) and 95.38% (8 944/9 377), respectively. The qualified rates of water fluoride in the villages with water improvement in the entire autonomous region were 66.21% (5 441/8 218) and 91.00% (8 139/8 944), respectively. The water improvement rate and water fluoride qualification rate of water improvement villages in 2023 were both higher than those in 2015, and the differences were statistically significant (χ 2 = 652.96, 1 593.81, P < 0.001). The detection rates of dental fluorosis in children aged 8 to 12 years in the entire autonomous region in 2015 and 2023 were 9.26% (7 548/81 484) and 4.46% (3 441/77 155), respectively. The detection rate of dental fluorosis in children in 2023 was lower than that in 2015, and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2 = 1 418.20, P < 0.001). In 2015 and 2023, the total compliance rate of all affected villages in the entire autonomous region reaching the control standards were 57.94% (5 660/ 9 769) and 92.37% (8 662/9 377), respectively. The total compliance rate of all affected villages in 2023 was higher than that in 2015, and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2 = 3 010.38, P < 0.001). Conclusions:Compared with 2015, the prevention and control measures of drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region have been effectively implemented in 2023, with a significant decrease in the detection rate of dental fluorosis in children. However, there are still a few affected villages that have not achieved the control standards, and prevention and control work still need to be further strengthened.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of the population of skeletal fluorosis patients in drinking-tea-borne endemic fluorosis (referred to as drinking-tea-borne fluorosis) areas in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (referred to as Inner Mongolia) and the influencing factors of treatment willingness, and to provide a basis for improving the prevention and control measures of drinking-tea-borne fluorosis and the treatment plan of skeletal fluorosis.Methods:From August to October 2022, a face-to-face questionnaire survey was conducted in key areas of drinking-tea-borne fluorosis in Inner Mongolia (administrative villages with an average daily intake of tea fluoride > 3.5 mg and skeletal fluorosis patients identified by the general survey of drinking-tea-borne fluorosis in Inner Mongolia in 2019), and to investigate the demographic, severity, and treatment status of patients with skeletal fluorosis, analyze the demographic characteristics of patients with skeletal fluorosis and the influencing factors of treatment willingness.Results:A total of 734 patients with skeletal fluorosis were investigated, including 543 mild cases, 125 moderate cases and 66 severe cases. The gender ratio of patients with skeletal fluorosis was 0.71 ∶ 1.00 (305/429), the age was concentrated in > 50 - 70 years old (70.57%, 518/734), the proportion of Mongolians was 94.28% (692/734), the proportion of herders was 97.68% (717/734), the educational level was mainly primary school (54.63%, 401/734), and the proportion of poor households and immigrants who had moved to their current residence was 7.08% (52/734) and 8.04% (59/734), respectively. The distribution of the severity of skeletal fluorosis in patients of different ages, genders, and educational levels was compared, and the differences were statistically significant ( P < 0.05). Fifty-three point two seven percent (391/734) of the patients had a willingness to undergo non-pharmacological treatment, of which 69.82% (273/391) had already started non-pharmacological treatment, with a treatment effectiveness rate of 73.99% (202/273). Sixty-five point two six percent (479/734) of the patients had a willingness to receive medication treatment, of which 7.31% (35/479) had already started medication treatment, with a treatment effectiveness rate of 54.29% (19/35). Zero point two seven percent (2/734) of the patients expressed a willingness to undergo surgical treatment, while no patients underwent surgical treatment. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the age, ethnicity, occupation, educational level, poverty status, immigrants status, and the severity of skeletal fluorosis were all influencing factors of non-pharmacological treatment willingness ( P < 0.05). Occupation, educational level, poverty status, immigrants status, and the severity of skeletal fluorosis were all influencing factors of medication treatment willingness ( P < 0.05). Conclusions:Patients with skeletal fluorosis caused by tea drinking in Inner Mongolia are mainly from Mongolian ethnic groups, herders, middle-aged and elderly people, and those with a lower educational levels. The willingness of patients to receive treatment is influenced by various factors, and corresponding intervention measures can be formulated and taken based on these influencing factors to effectively improve the disease prevention awareness and treatment willingness of patients and the public.
