Objective:To investigate the effects of 3 adhesives on the bond force and durability of polished and glazed zirconia ceram-ics to orthodontic metal brackets respectively.Methods:Universal adhesives,Single Bond Universal(SBU)and Prime&Bond Universal(PBU)were respectively used to bond polished and glazed zirconia to metal braces of maxillary central incisors using TransbondTM MIP(TM)as the control.The shear bond strength(SBS),the fracture morphology and adhesive residual index(ARI)were examed after wa-ter bath or water bath-thermal cycling storage.Results:The adhesive(P＜0.001)and storage conditions(P＜0.001)significantly af-fected the shear bond strength of zirconia to brackets.There was no significant difference between the polished or glazed groups(P=0.09).SBU showed the stronger SBS and lower ABI,there were significant differences in ARI scores among the 3 cements(P＜0.001).Conclusion:SBU may have better bonding performance than PBU and TM in the orthodontic bonding of polished or glazed zir-conia surfaces to the zirconia ceramics.

In April 2024, the World Health Organization/International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) published the global cancer statistics 2022 in the CA: Cancer Journal for Clinicians. This report focuses on the incidence and mortality of 36 cancers in 185 countries or territories worldwide, analyzing the differences of gender, geographic region, and the Human Development Index (HDI) level. It is estimated that in the year 2022, there were 19.96 million new cancer cases and 9.74 million cancer deaths worldwide. Lung cancer (2 480 301, 12.4%) was the most frequently diagnosed cancer in 2022, followed by female breast cancer (2 295 686, 11.5%), colorectal cancer (1 926 118, 9.6%), prostate cancer (1 466 680, 7.3%), and gastric cancer (968 350, 4.9%). Lung cancer (1 817 172, 18.7%) was also the leading cause of cancer death, followed by colorectal cancer (903 859, 9.3%), liver cancer (757 948, 7.8%), female breast cancer (665 684, 6.9%), and gastric cancer (659 853, 6.8%). With demographics-based predictions indicating that the number of new cases of cancer will reach over 35 million by 2050. The Beijing Office for Cancer Prevention and Control team has collated this report and briefly interpreted it in combination with the current situation of cancer incidence and mortality in China.

Traditional drugs for the treatment of abdominal tumors often do not have the ability to target tumors and destroy normal cells while killing tumor cells. Therefore, new therapies are urgently needed to accurately target and kill tumor cells. As a drug carrier, extracellular vesicles have the advantages of naturalness, biotaxis, and low side effects, so they have attracted much attention in the research on the treatment of abdominal tumors. In this paper, the research progress in mechanism of action of extracellular vesicle drug delivery system in the treatment of abdominal tumors such as gastric, liver, pancreatic, bile duct, colorectal, and ovarian cancers with an extracellular vesicle drug delivery system was reviewed, including inhibiting the growth of abdominal tumor cells, reversing the drug resistance of the tumor stem cells, inhibiting the exocytosis of chemotherapeutic drugs from the tumor cells, and remodeling the tumor immune microenvironment.

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the leading causes of heart failure (HF) in pediatrics.In 2024, the American Heart Association, based on existing knowledge and research findings, issued its first scientific statement on the assessment and management of HF in children and adolescents with CHD.The statement emphasizes the current lack of understanding of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, staging, and outcomes of chronic HF in pediatrics with CHD, and calls for the development of standardized definitions, monitoring protocols, and treatment strategies to improve the clinical outcomes and quality of life for this population.This article interprets the main content of the statement, aiming to provide reference and guidance for the accurate assessment and comprehensive management of chronic HF in children and adolescents with CHD.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of fixation through dual minimally invasive incisions and dual osseous channels with a loop titanium plate combined with a Dog-Bone titanium plate for acute Rockwood Ⅲ acromioclavicular dislocation in comparison with open reduction and fixation with a clavicular hook plate.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data of the 60 patients with acute type Ⅲ acromioclavicular dislocation who had been treated at Department of Orthopedics, Liaocheng People's Hospital from February 2019 to May 2022. There were 35 males and 25 females with an age of (43.2±8.0) years, and 34 left sides and 26 right sides affected. According to different surgical methods, they were divided into a double titanium plates group of 32 cases who had been treated by fixation through dual minimally invasive incisions and dual osseous channels with a loop titanium plate combined with a Dog Bone titanium plate and a hook plate group of 28 cases who had been treated by open reduction and internal fixation with a clavicle hook plate. The time from injury to operation was (2.1±1.3) d. The 2 groups were compared in terms of incision length, operation time, intraoperative bleeding, and visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score, Constant-Murley shoulder function score and the coracoclavicular distance on the affected side which were recorded preoperatively and at the last follow-up. Complications such as infection, loosening of internal fixation or secondary fracture were observed.Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the preoperative general data between the 2 groups, indicating comparability ( P > 0.05). All patients were followed up for (11.2±2.1) months. The incision length in the double titanium plates group [(3.5±0.3) cm] was significantly shorter than that in the hook plate group [(6.2±0.7) cm], and the intraoperative bleeding [(45.3±7.5) mL] in the former was significantly less than that in the latter [(64.1±6.2) mL] ( P < 0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference in the operation time between the 2 groups ( P > 0.05). The VAS score [0.5 (0, 1.0) points] and Constant-Murley shoulder function score [(95.1±2.1) points] in the double titanium plates group were significantly better than those in the hook plate group [0.8 (0, 1.0) points, (86.0±4.4) points] at the last follow-up ( P < 0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups in the coracoclavicular distance on the affected side ( P > 0.05). Good acromioclavicular joint repositioning and fixation were achieved in all patients. There were no surgery-related complications except for sinus tract formation in one patient in the double titanium plates group. Conclusion:In the treatment of acute Rockwood Ⅲ acromioclavicular dislocation, fixation through dual minimally invasive incisions and dual osseous channels with a loop titanium plate combined with a Dog-Bone titanium plate is superior to open reduction and internal fixation with a clavicular hook plate, showing advantages of minimal invasion, better safety, less intraoperative bleeding, and faster joint function recovery.

Thrombosis is a common complication of heart failure, which seriously affects the life quality of patients.At present, anticoagulant therapy in children with heart failure is still not standardized, and the use of anticoagulants depends more on the experience from adults.However, the etiology and coagulation system development of children are different from those of adults.So the anticoagulant treatment strategy for children with heart failure may be different.This review introduced the changes of coagulation function and anticoagulation therapy in children with heart failure, in order to provide reference for the management of coagulation system and anticoagulation therapy in children with chronic heart failure.

Objective:To understand the current situation of female cancer survivors′ self-advocacy and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:Convenience sampling was used. From August to November 2021, 243 female cancer survivors from 10 tertiary A hospitals in Jiangsu Province were selected as the research objects. The general information questionnaire and the Female Self-Advocacy in Cancer Survivorship (FSACS)were used for the survey. Multiple stepwise linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of female cancer survivors′ self-advocacy rights.Results:The self-advocacy score of this group of female cancer survivors was (82.42±10.42); the results of multiple stepwise linear regression analysis showed that education level was an influencing factor for female cancer survivors′self-advocacy ( P<0.05), but age, marital status, number of children, work status, family monthly income, reimbursement method, illness time, disease diagnosis, and disease stage had nothing to do with female cancer survivors′ self-advocacy( P>0.05). Conclusions:Female cancer survivors′ self-advocacy is affected by their educational level.It is recommended that medical staff pay attention to patients with low education level, provide personalized guidance according to their conditions, and encourage them to actively obtain external information, seek effective communication and external support, so as to improve Self-advocacy ability.

Objective:To explore the correlation analysis between psychological status and blood pressure of residents in medium-risk areas during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic, and provide references for early psychological intervention and hypertension management during the COVID-19 epidemic.Methods:From January 4 to 8, 2021, the convenience sampling method was used to conduct psychological questionnaire surveys on residents and employees of enterprises in the medium-risk area and surrounding areas of Jiuxianqiao, Chaoyang District, Beijing. General data (gender, age, height, weight, history of smoking and drinking, previous medical history), and home blood pressure monitoring were collected. Pearson′s χ 2 test was used to compare different factors (anxiety, depression, age, gender, body mass index, smoking, drinking, and history of chronic diseases) in normal blood pressure or not. A multivariate logistic regression analysis model was established to explore independent risk factors of abnormal blood pressure. Results:No anxiety accounted for 75% (684/912), and anxiety accounted for 25% (228/912). No depression accounted for 67% (611/912), depression accounted for 33% (301/912). Both anxiety and depression accounted for 23% (210/912). The substandard blood pressure accounted for 10.3% (94/912). The incidence of poor blood pressure control in participants with anxiety was 30.7% (70/228), which was significantly higher than that of participants without anxiety 3.5% (24/684) (χ 2=136.779, P<0.001). The incidence of poor blood pressure control in participants with depression 27.2% (82/301) was significantly higher than that of participants without depression 2.0% (12/611) (χ 2=139.388, P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed anxiety ( OR=3.261, P<0.001), depression ( OR=7.928, P<0.001), and complications of chronic diseases ( OR=3.207, P<0.001) were closely related to whether blood pressure was under control. Conclusions:During the COVID-19 epidemic, the psychological status of residents and employees in medium-risk areas should be screened and interventions implemented accordingly to prevent unstable blood pressure caused by anxiety or depression.

Abstract Public physical education teaching has adopted modern concepts and approachs of physical training to highlight the importance and effectiveness of physical education in colleges and universities in China. These courses have placed an emphasis on the need to attend to the structural integrity of the human body, optimizing the basic action mode and the efficient transmission of the power chain in motion. From the perspective of curriculum education, it is helpful to update ideas surrounding the public physical education curriculum in colleges and universities to enrich the content of public physical education courses provided by these institutions and to improve the scientific nature of training, while also enhancing the physical fitness of college students and promoting lifelong sports consciousness. However, there is insufficient explanation and implementation of modern physical training concepts and approachs into the teaching and process of public sports in colleges and universities. It will be beneficial to improve its top level design, increase policy support, provide better facilities, strengthen the construction of teachers, actively organize enjoyable physical fitness competitions, enrich the teaching content system and clear on the positioning of college physical education, in order to promote the fundamental tasks of school based physical education and the value of school sports. This is also important to ensure a renewal of the concept of the public physical education curriculum in our country, and encourage reform of the curriculum content, teaching mode and teaching methods, while also highlighting the essential function of physical training.
