Oral diseases concern almost every individual and are a serious health risk to the popula-tion.The restorative treatment of tooth and jaw defects is an important means to achieve oral function and support the appearance of the contour.Based on the principle of"learning from the nature",Deng Xu-liang's group of Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology has proposed a new concept of"microstructural biomimetic design and tissue adaptation of tooth/jaw materials"to address the worldwide problems of difficulty in treating dentine hypersensitivity,poor prognosis of restoration of tooth defects,and vertical bone augmentation of alveolar bone after tooth loss.The group has broken through the bottle-neck of multi-stage biomimetic technology from the design of microscopic features to the enhancement of macroscopic effects,and invented key technologies such as crystalline/amorphous multi-level assembly,ion-transportation blocking,and multi-physical properties of the micro-environment reconstruction,etc.The group also pioneered the cationic-hydrogel desensitizer,digital stump and core integrated restora-tions,and developed new crown and bridge restorative materials,gradient functionalisation guided tissue regeneration membrane,and electrically responsive alveolar bone augmentation restorative membranes,etc.These products have established new clinical strategies for tooth/jaw defect repair and achieved inno-vative results.In conclusion,the research results of our group have strongly supported the theoretical im-provement of stomatology,developed the technical system of oral hard tissue restoration,innovated the clinical treatment strategy,and led the progress of the stomatology industry.

OBJECTIVE To study the toxicokinetics and tissue distribution characteristics of alpha-amanitin in rats.METHODS The tail venous blood was collected from SD rats before and 5,10,20,30 and 45 min,1,1.5,2.5,4 and 8 h after intraperitoneal injection of alpha-amanitin(1.5 mg·kg-1),and the concentration of alpha-amanitin in blood was determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS).DAS 2.0 software was used to analyze and plot the drug-time curve with toxicokinetic parame-ters.Based on the toxicokinetics results,18 SD rats were randomly divided into three groups.The rats were sacrificed,and left ventricular arterial(LVA)blood and 9 types of tissue samples involving the heart,liver,spleen,lung,kidney,whole brain,small intestine,stomach wall and testis were collected 15 min,40 min and 2.5 h after dosing,and the concentrations of alpha-amanitin were measured by LC-MS/MS to obtain the tissue distribution results of alpha-amanitin in SD rats.RESULTS Toxicokinetics studies revealed that the peak blood concentration(Cmax)was(633±121)μg·L-1,the elimination half-life(T1/2)was(0.72±0.37)h,and the peak time(Tmax)was(0.52±0.16)h.The total clearance rate(CLz)was(1.62±0.26)L·h·kg-1,the area under the curve(AUC0-t)was(946±183)μg·h·L-1,and the mean reten-tion time(MRT0-t)was(1.18±0.17)h.The apparent volume of distribution(Vz)was(1.65±0.86)L·kg-1.The results of tissue distribution study showed that alpha-amanitin was widely distributed in SD rats with the highest concentration in the kidney,followed by the lung,small intestines,stomach wall,LVA blood and liver,but was low in the heart,spleen,testicles and other tissues,and very low in the brain.Alpha-amanitin was absorbed and eliminated quickly,peaked at 40 min in each tissue,and the concen-tration was minimized after 2.5 h.CONCLUSION The absorption and elimination of alpha-amanitin by intraperitoneal injection are rapid in SD rats,and the blood concentration reaches the peak about 31 min after administration,but can not be detected 4 h later.Alpha-amanitin is mainly distributed in the kidney,followed by the tissues and metabolic organs with rich blood flow,such as the lung,small intestines,stomach wall,LVA blood and liver.The content of alpha-amanitin is low in the heart,spleen,testicles and other tissues,and very low in the brain.It is speculated that it may have toxic targeting effect on the kidney and low blood-brain barrier permeability.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of omalizumab in the treatment of severe allergic asthma from the perspective of healthcare providers in China. METHODS Based on the data from an international multicenter study of omalizumab in the treatment of severe allergic asthma， the Markov model was constructed according to the progression of severe allergic asthma， with a cycle of 4 weeks. Long-term health outcomes and costs of omalizumab combined with standard of care（SoC） regimen versus SoC regimen in the treatment of severe allergic asthma were simulated by using quality-adjusted life years （QALYs） and incremental cost-effectiveness ratio（ICER） as output indexes. One-way sensitivity analysis， probabilistic sensitivity analysis， and scenario analysis were performed to test the robustness of the results. RESULTS Compared with the SoC regimen， ICER for the omalizumab combined with SoC regimen was 107 723.05 yuan/QALY， which was less than the willingness-to-pay（WTP） threshold （268 074 yuan/QALY） calculated by three times per capita gross domestic product（GDP） in China in 2023. The one-way sensitivity analysis showed that the baseline serum level of immunoglobulin E had the greatest impact on the robustness of the model. The probabilistic sensitivity analysis showed that the omalizumab+SoC regimen had a 93.00% probability of being cost- effective. The scenario analysis showed that in the real world， the billing method of omalizumab based on specifications rather than actual usage may increase ICER. CONCLUSIONS Compared with the SoC regimen， the combination of omalizumab and SoC regimen for treating severe allergic asthma is cost-effective， with a WTP threshold of three times China’s per capita GDP

AIM:Bone morphogenetic protein 7(BMP7)reduces the expression of Yes-related protein 1(YAP1)by down-regulating Ajuba level and decreasing extracellular matrix(ECM)deposition.This study aimed to inves-tigate the influence of these factors on modifying the degree of renal fibrosis in rats with diabetic nephropathy.METH-ODS:Eighteen Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were randomly divided into three groups:the normal control(NC)group,the diabetes mellitus(DM)group,and the DM group treated with BMP7 overexpressing adeno-associated virus(DM+rAAV-BMP7).Each group consisted of six rats.Diabetic kidney disease(DKD)was established in the DM and DM+rAAV-BMP7 groups by injecting 55 mg/kg streptozotocin(STZ)via the tail vein.NRK-52E cells were divided into three groups:the normal glucose(NG)group,the high glucose(HG)group,and the high glucose group treated with recombinant hu-man BMP7(HG+rhBMP7)group.Pathological changes in renal tissues were observed using hematoxylin and eosin(HE)and Sirius red staining.Immunohistochemical staining was performed to examine the expression sites of Ajuba and YAP1 in the renal cortex.Western blot analysis was conducted to determine the expression levels of BMP7,Ajuba,YAP1,colla-gen type Ⅲ(Col-Ⅲ),and fibronectin(FN)in the rat renal cortex and NRK-52E cells.RT-qPCR was used to measure the mRNA levels of Ajuba and YAP1 in the rat renal cortex.RESULTS:Biochemical indices revealed significantly ele-vated levels of blood glucose,serum creatinine,triglycerides,total cholesterol,and 24-hour urinary protein in the DM group compared to the NC group(P<0.05).In the DM+rAAV-BMP7 group,the levels of serum creatinine,24-hour uri-nary protein,triglycerides,and total cholesterol were lower than those in the DM group(P<0.05).Pathological staining demonstrated that the renal interstitium of the DM group exhibited inflammatory cell infiltration,fibrous tissue,collagen fi-ber deposition,disordered renal tubule arrangement,atrophy,and vacuolar degeneration,which were ameliorated in the DM+rAAV-BMP7 group.Immunohistochemistry revealed that Ajuba and YAP1 were mainly expressed in the cytoplasm and nucleus,with high expression in the cytoplasm of the DM group,which was significantly decreased in the DM+rAAV-BMP7 group.Western blot results indicated that the protein levels of FN,Col-Ⅲ,Ajuba,and YAP1 were up-regulated in the DM and the HG groups(P<0.05),but significantly down-regulated in the DM+rAAV-BMP7 group(P<0.05).RT-qP-CR results demonstrated that the mRNA levels of Ajuba and YAP1 were higher in the DM group and significantly lower in the DM+rAAV-BMP7 group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:The overexpression of BMP7 can ameliorate renal fibrosis in rats with DKD.This effect is likely mediated by the down-regulation of Ajuba,reduction of YAP1 expression,and subse-quent inhibition of ECM deposition.

Objective To investigate the complications of CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy(CT-PTNB)and its correlation with improper operation.Methods The clinical data of 360 patients who underwent lung tumor needle biopsy were collected.The complications occurred in the process of needle biopsy and their correlation with improper operation were summarized,and the experience was further summarized to increase the success rate of needle biopsy and reduce the occurrence of complications.Results Biopsy tissue was successfully obtained in all 360 patients.There were 84 cases with complications after puncture,including 67 cases with pneumothorax,59 cases with hemorrhage(5 cases with hemoptysis,59 cases with needle tract hemorrhage with pulmonary hemorrhage,6 cases with intrathoracic hemorrhage),9 cases with subcutaneous emphysema of chest wall,and 3 cases with chest wall puncture point pain,and all patients did not undergo surgical treatment.All patients recovered from symptomatic treatment such as bed rest,hemostasis,anti-inflammatory and oxygen inhalation.Only 6 patients with pneumothorax had increased volume of pneumothorax after operation and underwent closed thoracic drainage,and all of them were decannulated successfully.No air embolism and other rare complications occurred.Conclusion The appropriate puncture path should be selected according to the different conditions of the patient.At the same time,the anatomy of the chest wall and lung should be familiar with,and pay attention to all the details of the needle biopsy process to reduce the occurrence of errors.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy and practicality of the Jaundice color card (JCard) as a screening tool for neonatal jaundice.Methods:Following the standards for reporting of diagnostic accuracy studies (STARD) statement, a multicenter prospective study was conducted in 9 hospitals in China from October 2019 to September 2021. A total of 845 newborns who were admitted to the hospital or outpatient department for liver function testing due to their own diseases. The inclusion criteria were a gestational age of ≥35 weeks, a birth weight of ≥2 000 g, and an age of ≤28 days. The neonate′s parents used the JCard to measure jaundice at the neonate′s cheek. Within 2 hours of the JCard measurement, transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) was measured with a JH20-1B device and total serum bilirubin (TSB) was detected. The Pearson′s correlation analysis, Bland-Altman plots and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used for statistic analysis.Results:Out of the 854 newborns, 445 were male and 409 were female; 46 were born at 35-36 weeks of gestational age and 808 were born at ≥37 weeks of gestational age. Additionally, 432 cases were aged 0-3 days, 236 cases were aged 4-7 days, and 186 cases were aged 8-28 days. The TSB level was (227.4±89.6) μmol/L, with a range of 23.7-717.0 μmol/L. The JCard level was (221.4±77.0) μmol/L and the TcB level was (252.5±76.0) μmol/L. Both the JCard and TcB values showed good correlation ( r=0.77 and 0.80, respectively) and agreements (96.0% (820/854) and 95.2% (813/854) of samples fell within the 95% limits of agreement, respectively) with TSB. The JCard value of 12 had a sensitivity of 0.93 and specificity of 0.75 for identifying a TSB ≥205.2?μmol/L, and a sensitivity of 1.00 and specificity of 0.35 for identifying a TSB ≥342.0?μmol/L. The TcB value of 205.2?μmol/L had a sensitivity of 0.97 and specificity of 0.60 for identifying TSB levels of 205.2 μmol/L, and a sensitivity of 1.00 and specificity of 0.26 for identifying TSB levels of 342.0 μmol/L. The areas under the ROC curve (AUC) of JCard for identifying TSB levels of 153.9, 205.2, 256.5, and 342.0 μmol/L were 0.96, 0.92, 0.83, and 0.83, respectively. The AUC of TcB were 0.94, 0.91, 0.86, and 0.87, respectively. There were both no significant differences between the AUC of JCard and TcB in identifying TSB levels of 153.9 and 205.2 μmol/L (both P>0.05). However, the AUC of JCard were both lower than those of TcB in identifying TSB levels of 256.5 and 342.0 μmol/L (both P<0.05). Conclusions:JCard can be used to classify different levels of bilirubin, but its diagnostic efficacy decreases with increasing bilirubin levels. When TSB level are ≤205.2 μmol/L, its diagnostic efficacy is equivalent to that of the JH20-1B. To prevent the misdiagnosis of severe jaundice, it is recommended that parents use a low JCard score, such as 12, to identify severe hyperbilirubinemia (TSB ≥342.0 μmol/L).

Postoperative pain seriously affects the recovery process of patients, resulting in prolonged hospital stay and increased care costs. Appropriate application of patient-controlled analgesia devices can effectively relieve perioperative acute pain. In 1994 patient-controlled analgesia began to be used in Peking Union Medical College Hospital, and the Acute Pain Service Working Group was established in 2004. With the cooperation of anesthesiologists and specialist nurses, the group jointly has implemented the whole process and standardized management based on patient-controlled analgesia, and constantly improved and innovated working methods, laying a solid foundation for the development of postoperative pain management. This paper systematically reviews and summarizes the work from the aspects of clinical focus, nursing management experience, promotion and dissemination of pain treatment concepts, and development of acute pain service model under the new situation, with the hope of providing valuable reference for comprehensively strengthening pain management in the process of diagnosis and treatment, and enhancing patients' satisfaction with perioperative analgesia services.

Sarcopenia is a major factor affecting the health and quality of life of the patients undergoing hemodialysis.Exercise can effectively ameliorate sarcopenia in these patients.However,the type,intensity,time,and frequency of exercise influence the effect of exercise.This review describes the effects of different exer-cise prescriptions on sarcopenia in the patients undergoing hemodialysis.It aims to assist medical staff in develo-ping personalized exercise prescriptions,guiding patients to engage in exercise,and provide effective strategies for the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia in the patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of tirofiban and rt-PA alteplase in the treatment of minor stroke patients.Methods A total of 171 patients with minor stroke ad-mitted to Department of Neurology of Zhengzhou People's Hospital from January 2021 to January 2024 were prospectively and continuously enrolled,and were randomly divided into tirofiban group(84 cases)and rt-PA group(87 cases).The tirofiban group received intravenous infusion of tirofiban but not intravenous thrombolysis therapy.The rt-PA group was treated with intravenous thrombolysis.The 90-day mRS score was observed in all patients.NIHSS was used to score the improvement of neurological function.3-month all-cause death was observed during follow-up.Results The tirofiban group had a significant larger proportion of mRS score of 0-1 at 90 d(92.86％vs 82.76％,P＜0.05),lower NIHSS scores at 24 h and 7 d after treatment and smaller proportion of early neurological deterioration than the rt-PA group(P＜0.05).Larger proportion of mRS score of 0-2 in the 90 day and slightly smaller proportion of the score of 4-6 at 90 d were observed in the tirofiban group than the rt-PA group(P＞0.05).There were no statistical difference in the incidence of 3-month all-cause death between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Compared with rt-PA,tirofiban can significantly improve the clinical prognosis of pa-tients with minor stroke,reduce the risk of early neurological deterioration,and has higher safety.

Objective:To investigate associations of cerebral perfusion impairment with early neurological deterioration (END) and poor outcome in patients with acute small subcortical infarction (SSI).Methods:Patients with SSI in the perforator artery region admitted to the Department of Neurology, Zhengzhou People's Hospital between January 2020 and November 2022 were prospectively included. END was defined as an increase of ≥2 in the total score of the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) or an increase of ≥1 in the motor function score within 72 h after admission. Poor outcome was defined as the modified Rankin Scale score of 2 at 90 d after onset. Cerebral perfusion impairment was defined according to MRI perfusion-weighted imaging parameters. The demographic, baseline clinical and imaging data were collected. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine associations of cerebral perfusion impairment and END and poor outcome in patients with SSI. Results:A total of 100 patients with SSI were enrolled, including 56 males (56.0%), and aged 69.2±5.8 years. Among them, 19 patients (19.0%) developed END, 27 (27.0%) had poor outcome, and 51 (51.0%) had significant cerebral perfusion impairment. There were statistically significant differences in high sensitivity C-reactive protein, white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) in the basal ganglia, enlarged perivascular space (EPVS) in the basal ganglia, deep cerebral microbleeds (CMBs), and cerebral perfusion impairment between the END group and the non-END group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that higher diastolic blood pressure (odds ratio [ OR] 1.070, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.003-1.141); P=0.040], deep WMHs ( OR 2.271, 95% CI 1.135-4.544; P=0.020), deep CMBs ( OR 5.047, 95% CI 1.240-20.549; P=0.024), and cerebral perfusion impairment ( OR 6.083, 95% CI 1.318-28.080; P=0.021) were independent risk factors for END in patients with SSI. There were statistically significant differences in hypersensitive C-reactive protein, NIHSS score at END, basal ganglia EPVS, END, and cerebral perfusion impairment between the poor outcome group and the good outcome group ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that NIHSS score at END ( OR 1.485, 95% CI 1.034-2.133; P=0.032), basal ganglia EPVS ( OR 3.005, 95% CI 1.224-7.378; P=0.016), and cerebral perfusion impairment ( OR 9.234, 95% CI 1.994-42.765; P=0.004) were independent risk factors for the poor outcome at 90 d in patients with SSI, while anterior circulation infarction ( OR 0.066, 95% CI 0.013-0.334; P=0.001) was independently negatively correlated with the poor outcomes at 90 d after onset. Conclusion:Cerebral perfusion impairment is an independent risk factor for END and poor outcome at 90 d after onset in patients with SSI.
