The standardized workflow of computer-aided static guided implant surgery includes preoperative exami-nation,data acquisition,guide design,guide fabrication and surgery.Errors may occur at each step,leading to irrevers-ible cumulative effects and thus impacting the accuracy of implant placement.However,clinicians tend to focus on fac-tors causing errors in surgical operations,ignoring the possibility of irreversible errors in nonstandard guided surgery.Based on the clinical practice of domestic experts and research progress at home and abroad,this paper summarizes the sources of errors in guided implant surgery from the perspectives of preoperative inspection,data collection,guide de-signing and manufacturing and describes strategies to resolve errors so as to gain expert consensus.Consensus recom-mendation:1.Preoperative considerations:the appropriate implant guide type should be selected according to the pa-tient's oral condition before surgery,and a retaining screw-assisted support guide should be selected if necessary.2.Da-ta acquisition should be standardized as much as possible,including beam CT and extraoral scanning.CBCT performed with the patient's head fixed and with a small field of view is recommended.For patients with metal prostheses inside the mouth,a registration marker guide should be used,and the ambient temperature and light of the external oral scan-ner should be reasonably controlled.3.Optimization of computer-aided design:it is recommended to select a handle-guided planting system and a closed metal sleeve and to register images by overlapping markers.Properly designing the retaining screws,extending the support structure of the guide plate and increasing the length of the guide section are methods to feasibly reduce the incidence of surgical errors.4.Improving computer-aided production:it is also crucial to set the best printing parameters according to different printing technologies and to choose the most appropriate postpro-cessing procedures.

Objective:To analyze clinical characteristics of scabies.Methods:The clinical data of 747 patients with scabies who visited Department of Dermatology, Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College from January 2018 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:There were more males (73.09%, 546/747) than females (26.91%, 201/747); most of patients had a age of 13-24 year (55.96%, 418/747); students account for 50.33% (376/747) of all patients; there were more patients living in dormitory than those living at home (61.45% (459/747) vs. 38.55% (288/747)). The cases began to rise from October, reaching the peak in December and remaining at relatively high level in January and February, then decreasing to the lowest during March to September. The number of patients living in rural areas is higher than that in urban areas. Patients took average 30 (15, 90) days from onset of disease to seeing a doctor, and itching was the main complain for visiting. The locations of lesion were most common on the abdomen (63.19%, 472/747), fingertips and wrists (53.41%, 399/747), vulva (37.22%, 278/747), and extremities (30.25%, 226/747). The lesions were characterized by erythematous papules (71.62%, 535/747), nodules (47.12%, 352/747), papules (24.50%, 183/747), wheals (6.02%, 45/747), secondary infections (3.61%, 27/747), tunnels (3.08%, 23/747) and small pustules (2.14%, 16/747); the male scrotal nodules were common (48.17%, 263/546). More patients (471/747, 63.05%) first visited non-dermatology outpatient clinics, and less first visited dermatology outpatient clinics (276/747, 36.95%); the misdiagnosis rates were 55.41% (261/471) and 27.54% (76/276), respectively; 127 cases (17.00%) were misdiagnosed as eczema, 54 cases (7.23%) as allergic dermatitis, 41 cases (5.49%) as prurigo nodularis, and 35 cases (4.69%) as urticaria pulosa. Conclusions:There is a certain discrepancy in the incidence of scabies among different populations, regions and seasons, the lesions of scabies are polymorphic involving different parts of the body surface and it is easy to be misdiagnosed.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an ancient infectious disease. Before the availability of effective drug therapy, it had high morbidity and mortality. In the past 100 years, the discovery of revolutionary anti-TB drugs such as streptomycin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, ethambutol and rifampicin, along with drug combination treatment, has greatly improved TB control globally. As anti-TB drugs were widely used, multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis emerged due to acquired genetic mutations, and this now presents a major problem for effective treatment. Genes associated with drug resistance have been identified, including katG mutations in isoniazid resistance, rpoB mutations in rifampin resistance, pncA mutations in pyrazinamide resistance, and gyrA mutations in quinolone resistance. The major mechanisms of drug resistance include loss of enzyme activity in prodrug activation, drug target alteration, overexpression of drug target, and overexpression of the efflux pump. During the disease process, Mycobacterium tuberculosis may reside in different microenvironments where it is expose to acidic pH, low oxygen, reactive oxygen species and anti-TB drugs, which can facilitate the development of non-replicating persisters and promote bacterial survival. The mechanisms of persister formation may include toxin-antitoxin (TA) modules, DNA protection and repair, protein degradation such as trans-translation, efflux, and altered metabolism. In recent years, the use of new anti-TB drugs, repurposed drugs, and their drug combinations has greatly improved treatment outcomes in patients with both drug-susceptible TB and MDR/XDR-TB. The importance of developing more effective drugs targeting persisters of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is emphasized. In addition, host-directed therapeutics using both conventional drugs and herbal medicines for more effective TB treatment should also be explored. In this article, we review historical aspects of the research on anti-TB drugs and discuss the current understanding and treatments of drug resistant and persistent tuberculosis to inform future therapeutic development.

Objective:To investigate the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in microRNAs (miRNAs) and the risk of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) .Methods:A case-control study was conducted. A total of 98 patients with CSU (CSU group) were collected from Department of Dermatology, Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from January to June in 2019, and 148 health checkup examinees (control group) were collected at the same time, all of whom were of Han nationality from Shandong province. Genomic DNA was extracted from venous blood samples, and polymorphic sites rs2431697 (miRNA-146a) , rs57095329 (miRNA-146a) , rs3746444 (miRNA-499) , rs11614913 (miRNA-196a2) and rs895819 (miRNA-27a) were analyzed for SNP genotyping by multiplex PCR amplification and single-base extension. Chi-square test was used to analyze differences in the distribution of alleles, genotypes and genetic models between the two groups, and unconditional logistic regression to analyze the relationship between gene SNPs and the risk of CSU.Results:All samples were successfully genotyped by analysis of the 5 polymorphic sites. The alleles of the miRNA-196a2 SNP rs11614913 were T/C, and the absolute frequency of T allele was 110 (56.1%) in the CSU group and 131 (44.3%) in the control group; there was a significant difference in the T/C allele frequency distribution between the two groups ( χ2 = 6.64, P = 0.010) , and the T allele might be a risk factor for CSU ( OR=1.61, 95% CI: 1.12-2.32) . In addition, the absolute frequencies of CC, CT and TT genotypes of rs11614913 were 16 (16.3%) , 54 (55.1%) , 28 (28.6%) in the CSU group, and 48 (32.4%) , 69 (46.6%) , 31 (20.9%) in the control group respectively, and there was a significant difference in the genotype distribution between the two groups ( χ2 = 8.16, P = 0.017) ; the distribution of the dominant genetic model (TT + CT vs. CC) also significantly differed between the two groups ( χ2 = 7.95, P = 0.005) , which might increase the risk of CSU ( OR=2.46, 95% CI: 1.30-4.65) . Conclusion:The miRNA-196a2 SNPs may be associated with the risk of CSU in the Han population in Shandong, China, and the rs11614913 polymorphism may increase the risk of CSU.

Twenty pediatric patients with kerion were treated in Department of Dermatology, Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from January 2014 to June 2020. The general information, clinical manifestations, laboratory test results, treatment and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed. There were 13 males and 7 females aged from 2 to 10 years. Thirteen patients had a history of contact with animals, 4 had contact with parents with tinea. All patients had alopecia, 6 cases presented with inflammatory mass, 14 presented with abscessus; some patients had regional lymphadenopathy and febrile. Four cases were misdiagnosed as abscesses caused by bacterial infection and underwent incision leading to deep ulcers. A total of 13 fungal strains were isolated, including 4 strains of Microsporum gypseum, 3 strains of Trichophyton rubrum, 2 strains of Microsporum canis, the others were Trichophyton tonsurans and Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Fusarium. All patients were treated with fluconazole, concomitantly with topical antifungals and He-Ne laser, 19 of whom were cured. It is suggested that kerion characterized by inflammatory lesions is likely to be misdiagnosed. Fungal examination can confirm the diagnosis of kerion, and fluconazole is effective for treatment.

Objective:
To understand the awareness of palliative care and its influencing factors in community residents in Hangzhou,so as to provide basis for the development of palliative care service.
Methods:
By convenient sampling method,the residents in the urban-rural junction of Xihu District were recruited. A self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate their awareness of palliative care. The logistic regression model was employed to analyze the influencing factors.
Results :
A total of 519 questionnaires were recovered,with a response rate of 97.92%. There were 227 males and 292 females,accounting for 43.74% and 56.26%,respectively. There were 43,218 and 258 residents with more,basic and little understanding about palliative care, accounting for 8.29%,42.00% and 49.71%. The residents learned about palliative care mainly through television and radio,with 245 cases accounting for 47.21%;and they thought that the main reason for low awareness of palliative care was a lack of related knowledge,with 396 cases accounting for 76.30%. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that 50-59 years old(OR = 0.467,95% CI:0.285-0.767),primary school education and below(OR = 2.248,95%CI:1.239-4.079)and experience of caring for dying patients(OR = 1.551,95% CI:1.094-2.199)were the influencing factors for the awareness of palliative care.
Conclusion
The residents in Hangzhou had relatively low awareness of palliative care,which were associated with age,education level and experience of caring for dying patients.

Surgical minimally invasive techniques such as image intervention, laparoscopy, endoscopy, and assisted medical robotics have become the mainstream of minimally invasive surgery (MIS). However, the vague concept, diverse misunderstanding, and the lack of standards have led to a lot of malpractice in current MIS. Based on the analysis of the clinical situation and the domestic and foreign literatures, the authors have put forward the theory of comprehensive minimally invasive surgery (CMIS), and established the concepts of minimally invasive prevention, minimally invasive diagnosis and minimally invasive follow-up in the view of hepatobiliary surgery. The authors have proposed "three-All" principles of all personnel, all aspects and all processes, and established a comprehensive four-level criteria of outcomes, complications, time and costs for CMIS, in an attempt to provide feasible and practical concepts and standards for MIS from a clinical practice and theoretical level, with a view to standardizing minimally invasive procedures and solving the problem of MIS.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic outcome of horizontal bone augmentation by using the modified split crest technique of piezosurgery in mandible molar area. Methods The present study reviewed the record of 15 patients from 2016 January to 2017 March in the department of oral implantology center of Stomato-logical Hospital of Southern Medical University,who underwent the modified split crest technique of piezosurgery in mandible molar area. Preoperative CBCT was performed to determine the bone thickness of the toothless alveo-lar crest of the mandibular posterior region,and the bone thickness was less than 3 mm. The modified split crest technique of piezosurgery was performed for the horizontal bone augmentation at mandibular posterior region. Meanwhile,GBR and the postoperative CBCT were performed to determine the bone width increments,followed with 1-week anti-inflammatory therapy postoperation. Three months after the operations,the bone width incre-ment was examined by CBCT. SPSS13.0 software was used to analyze the collected data. Results The modified split crest technique of piezosurgery in mandible molar area was successfully established,resulting in the mini-mal operative wounds and the slight postoperative reaction,without obvious infection. The postoperative crest width increase achieved 6.05 ± 0.65 mm. At 3 months after operation,the crest width increase reduced to(5.81 ± 0.61)mm. There were significant differences of the alveolar ridge thickness between the preoperative and post-operative patients(P<0.05). There were significant differences between the preoperative crest width and the 3 months after treatment(P<0.05). Conclusion Horizontal bone augmentation of the modified split crest tech-nique of piezosurgery was efficient,which could be performed in very narrow alveolar ridge,and which was rela-tively safe and accurate,with less trauma. No damage was observed to the soft tissue,and the cutting direction can be well controlled.
