BACKGROUND:Psoralen has a strong anti-osteoporotic activity and may have a restorative effect on chemotherapy-induced osteoporosis. OBJECTIVE:To explore the restorative effect of psoralen on the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in mice inhibited by cyclophosphamide and its mechanism. METHODS:C57BL/6 mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated and cultured.Effect of psoralen on viability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells was detected by MTT assay.Osteogenic induction combined with alkaline phosphatase staining was used to determine the optimal dose of psoralen to restore the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells inhibited by cyclophosphamide.The mRNA expression levels of Runx2,alkaline phosphatase,Osteocalcin,osteoprotegerin,and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway-related genes Wnt1,Wnt4,Wnt10b,β-catenin,and c-MYC were measured by RT-qPCR at different time points under the intervention with psoralen.The protein expression of osteogenic specific transcription factor Runx2 and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway related genes Active β-catenin,DKK1,c-MYC,and Cyclin D1 was determined by western blot assay at different time points under the intervention with psoralen. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)There was no significant effect of different concentrations of psoralen on the viability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.The best recovery of the inhibition of osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells caused by cyclophosphamide was under the intervention of psoralen at a concentration of 200 μmol/L.(2)Psoralen reversed the reduction in osteogenic differentiation marker genes Runx2,alkaline phosphatase,Osteocalcin and osteoprotegerin mRNA expression and Runx2 protein expression in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells caused by cyclophosphamide conditioned medium.(3)Psoralen reversed the decrease in Wnt/β-catenin pathway-related genes Wnt4,β-catenin,c-MYC mRNA and Active β-catenin,c-MYC,and Cyclin D1 protein expression and the increase in DKK1 protein expression in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells caused by cyclophosphamide conditioned medium.(4)The results showed that cyclophosphamide inhibited osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in mice,and psoralen had a restorative effect on it.The best intervention effect was achieved at a concentration of 200 μmol/L psoralen,and this protective effect might be related to the activation of Wnt4/β-catenin signaling pathway by psoralen.

This paper aims to discuss the construction and promotion strategy of medical care capacity framework based on the core literacy of palliative care， combining domestic and foreign research and clinical status. The research results show that it is particularly important to construct a framework of medical care competence based on palliative care. The core competencies required for palliative care include the ability to comprehensively evaluate and formulate personalized programs， effective communication skills， interdisciplinary teamwork skills， and the ability to continuously learn and improve themselves. The quality of care can be further improved if the above abilities are incorporated into the framework of medical care ability based on palliative care. However， there are a series of problems in the process of constructing the framework of palliative medical care capacity， such as difficult implementation of policy support， poor professionalism of talent team， single and irregular service model， low social acceptance， and difficult interdisciplinary cooperation and resource integration. After a detailed analysis of the problems， this paper puts forward the countermeasures to construct the framework of caring ability literacy based on palliative care. Effective countermeasures such as increasing policy support， cultivating comprehensive talents， developing diversified palliative care models， improving social recognition， and strengthening interdisciplinary cooperation and resource integration can effectively improve the core literacy and professional ability of medical care personnel， and then promote the development and improvement of palliative care services. In-depth discussion of the above contents can provide scientific reference for building a care model and literacy framework with palliative care as the core.

ObjectiveTo investigate the association between the risk of increase in total cholesterol （TC） and the risk of cholelithiasis by using bidirectional Mendelian randomization （MR）. MethodsThe open gwas public database was used to obtain the single nucleotide polymorphism data associated with TC and cholelithiasis， and a secondary data analysis was performed for all summary data of genome-wide association studies. The genetic loci closely associated with TC or cholelithiasis were selected as exposure or outcome variables， and the bidirectional MR analysis was performed using the methods such as Egger regression， Weighted median， IVW random effects model， and IVW fixed effects model， with odds ratio （OR） values for evaluating the causal relationship between TC and cholelithiasis. ResultsWith TC as the exposure and cholelithiasis as the outcome， TC-cholelithiasis had an overall OR value of 0.91 （95% confidence interval ［CI］： 0.85‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.97） before elimination of heterogeneity and 0.93 （95%CI： 0.89‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.97） after elimination of heterogeneity. With cholelithiasis as the exposure and TC as the outcome， TC-cholelithiasis had an overall OR value of 0.20 （95%CI： 0.06‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.65） before elimination of heterogeneity and 0.28 （95%CI： 0.10‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.83） after elimination of heterogeneity. There was a bidirectional causal relationship between genetically predicted TC and cholelithiasis. ConclusionThis study confirms the bidirectional causal relationship between TC and cholelithiasis. The risk of cholelithiasis decreases with the increase in alleles associated with the elevation of TC level； on the contrary， the risk of elevated TC level decreases with the increase in alleles associated with the onset of cholelithiasis.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of hemodialysis patients with corona virus disease 2019(COVID-19)in a single-center from Beijing.Methods:Patients with COVID-19 who re-ceived regular hemodialysis at Peking University Third Hospital from November 30,2022 to January 4,2023 were selected as the study objects.Clinical symptoms,severity and duration of symptoms during the period of virus positive were investigated in the form of questionnaires,and the basic information of the patients,as well as the results of blood tests(routine blood and blood biochemistry,etc.)before and af-ter infection,dialysis treatment and the outcome of the disease were collected by consulting medical re-cords.Results:A total of 203 subjects were included in this study,including 148 mild cases(72.91％),23 medium cases(11.33％),32 severe and critical cases(15.76％),and 16(7.88％)deaths occured during the follow-up.Clinical symptoms mainly included respiratory symptoms(among which 81.77％had cough,68.97％had expectoration),fever(81.28％)and fatigue(65.52％),and fatigue and weakness had the longest duration[9(5,15)days]among all symptoms.Twenty-six patients(12.8％)reduced the dialysis sessions[1(1,2)times],25 patients(12.32％)had the behavior of early finishing dialysis(27 times),reducing the dialysis time by 30.0(20.0,30.5)minutes.Univa-riate analysis showed that the hemoglobin,creatinine,urea nitrogen and ultrafiltration decreased signi-ficantly after infection(P＜0.05).There were significant differences in age,albumin,hemoglobin,creatinine levels and vascular access types among the patients with different clinical subtypes,and the changes of dialysis sessions,fever,expectoration and fatigue degree were also different among the patients with different clinical subtypes(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age(OR=1.051,95％CI:1.017-1.086,P=0.003)and albumin levels(OR=0.905,95％CI:0.803-1.019,P=0.098)corrected by fever,expectoration and fatigue levels were still associated with the oc-currence of pneumonia.Conclusion:The morbidity of pneumonia and the proportion of deaths in hemo-dialysis patients with COVID-19 were higher,and some clinical symptoms lasted for a longer time than the general population.During the infection period,the incidence of dialysis-related complications in-creased,hemoglobin and nutritional status decreased.Elderly patients and patients with low albumin level had a higher risk of developing pneumonia after infection.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological features,molecular genetics and prognosis of high grade B cell lymphoma with concurrent MYC rearrangement and 11q aberra-tions(HGBCL-MYC-11q).MethodsThree cases of HGBCL-MYC-11q were reviewed and analyzed using hematoxylin-eosin staining,immunohistochemistry,EBER in situ hybridization and fluorescence in situ hybridization.Clinical data were collected with follow-up.Results All three patients were male,age was 10,61,and 74 years,respectively.All patients had Ann Arbor stage Ⅳ disease.All three cases were biopsies occurring in the nasopharynx,upper pharynx and ileocecus,respectively.Three cases were morphologically similar to diffuse infiltrative growth of tumor cells,moderate or moderately large cells,round to slightly irregular nuclei and easily visible mitotic figures.Focal necrosis was noted in one case.One case exhibited the distinct"starry sky"pattern.All cases expressed CD20,BCL6 and MUM1 and high Ki67 index,two cases expressed CD10 and two cases ex-pressed BCL2.CD3,CD30 and TDT were all negative.EBER in situ hybridization was all negative.FISH analyses using C-MYC break-apart probes were all positive and all cases had 11q aberrations.One case only had the 11q23.3 amplification;and one case only had the 11q24.3 loss.After a follow-up for 1-18 months,one patient died and two patients survived with disease.ConclusionHGBCL-MYC-11q is rare,morphologically similar to BL/HGBCL,with MYC rearrangement and 11q abnormali-ties.We should enhance awareness of the disease and improve more accurate diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the disease.

BACKGROUND:The threaded conical implant has a good ability to control micro movements and is conducive to immediate loading.However,the effects of double-threaded conical cylindrical implants and conical cylindrical implants on stress distribution and initial stability of implant-bone interface after immediate loading have not been reported. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the impact of double-threaded conical cylindrical implants and conical cylindrical implants on the biological distribution of the implant and the surrounding bone interface during immediate loading in the mandibular molar region. METHODS:(1)Three-dimensional finite element analysis:Conical beam CT scans of the mandible and first molar of a volunteer were used to develop a basal model of the mandible.The double-threaded conical cylindrical implants and conical cylindrical implants were assembled with the mandibular models,and an immediate-load(or delayed implantation)implant model(a total of four models)for the first mandibular molar was established.Loads in four directions(100 N):axial,lingual and buccal 45°,mesial and distal,and buccal and lingual,were applied to the central fossa of each model's crown.Three-dimensional finite element method was used to analyze the implant displacement and the stress distribution at the implant-bone interface.(2)In vitro experiment:With the assistance of the oral implant robot,the double-threaded conical cylindrical implants and conical cylindrical implants were implanted on the same artificial bone pieces,separately,and the immediate load model of immediate implant implantation(or delayed implantation)was established in vitro(a total of four groups of models).Osstell resonance frequency analyzer and SmartPeg sensor were used to measure the implant stability coefficient in four vertical directions:front,rear,left,and right measurements,evaluate the initial stability,and verify the finite element analysis results. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The displacement difference between double-threaded conical cylindrical implants and conical cylindrical implants was small when the immediate loading of delayed implantation was applied,but the maximum stress value of conical cylindrical implant-bone interface was greater than that of double-threaded conical cylindrical implant-bone interface.When the immediate loading of immediate implantation was applied,the maximum stress value and the maximum displacement of bone around the implant appeared when the load was applied in mesiodistal direction.The stress value of the conical cylindrical implant reached 298.84 MPa and the maximum displacement was 0.31 mm,both of which were larger than that of the double-threaded conical cylindrical implant.(2)The results of in vitro experiments showed that the stability coefficient of the double-threaded conical cylindrical implant was greater than that of the conical cylindrical implant.(3)Compared with the conical cylindrical implant,the double-threaded conical cylindrical implant has higher initial stability under immediate loading,suggesting that the use of double-threaded conical cylindrical implant should be given priority in clinical immediate loading.

ObjectiveThis study aims to understand the recognition of practitioners in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） hospitals on hospital-based health technology assessment （HB-HTA）， assessment needs， challenges， and suggestions， so as to provide references for the future work. MethodThe convenient sampling method was adopted to survey the relevant practitioners in TCM hospitals. The questionnaire included 39 questions in 4 dimensions and was distributed through the online platform Weijuanxing. ResultA total of 244 questionnaires were recovered， and the obtained data were analyzed in SPSS. The results showed that 137 practitioners were very familiar with HB-HTA and there was no significant difference in the recognition of practitioners in different occupations （F=0.251； P=0.778）. The practitioners in Hong Kong， Macao， and Taiwan had lower recognition than those in other regions. In terms of the assessment needs， 127 practitioners believed that it was very necessary to carry out HB-HTA in TCM hospitals in the future. Chinese patent medicines/Chinese herbal medicine decoction pieces （5.91） and TCM appropriate technology （5.57） had higher assessment priority scores. The assessment needs were high for the effectiveness （235 practitioners） and safety （224 practitioners） of health technology. The lack of specialized organization and standardized evaluation process system and the shortage of talents were considered to be the major challenges for the future development in this field. ConclusionThe stakeholders carrying out the health technology assessment in TCM hospitals had certain awareness of HB-HTA. Most practitioners believed that it was necessary to carry out HB-HTA in TCM hospitals in the future， while the work might face challenges such as the lack of organizations and system and the shortage of talents， which requires policy support.

【Objective】 To objectively evaluate the quality control level of blood testing process in blood banks through quantitative monitoring and trend analysis, and to promote the homogenization level and standardized management of blood testing laboratories in blood banks. 【Methods】 A quality monitoring indicator system covering the whole process of blood collection and supply, including blood donation service, blood component preparation, blood testing, blood supply and quality control was established. The questionnaire Quality Monitoring Indicators for Blood Collection and Supply Process with clear definition of indicators and calculation formulas was distributed to 17 blood banks in Shandong province. Quality monitoring indicators of each blood bank from January to December 2022 were collected, and 31 indicators in terms of blood testing were analyzed using SPSS25.0 software. 【Results】 The proportion of unqualified serological tests in 17 blood bank laboratories was 55.84% for ALT, 13.63% for HBsAg, 5.08% for anti HCV, 5.62% for anti HIV, 18.18% for anti TP, and 1.65% for other factors (mainly sample quality). The detection unqualified rate and median were (1.23±0.57)% and 1.11%, respectively. The ALT unqualified rate and median were (0.74±0.53)% and 0.60%, respectively. The detection unqualified rate was positively correlated with ALT unqualified rate (r=0.974, P<0.05). The unqualified rate of HBsAg, anti HCV, anti HIV and anti TP was (0.15±0.09)%, (0.05±0.04)%, (0.06±0.03)% and (0.20±0.05)% respectively. The average unqualified rate, average hemolysis rate, average insufficient volume rate and the abnormal hematocrit rate of samples in 17 blood bank laboratories was 0.21‰, 0.08‰, 0.01‰ and 0.02‰ respectively. There were differences in the retest concordance rates of four HBsAg, anti HCV and anti HIV reagents, and three anti TP reagents among 17 blood bank laboratories (P<0.05). The usage rate of ELISA reagents was (114.56±3.30)%, the outage rate of ELISA was (10.23±7.05) ‰, and the out of range rate of ELISA was (0.90±1.17) ‰. There was no correlation between the out of range rate, outrage rate and usage rate (all P>0.05), while the outrage rate was positively correlated with the usage rate (r=0.592, P<0.05). A total of 443 HBV DNA positive samples were detected in all blood banks, with an unqualified rate of 3.78/10 000; 15 HCV RNA positive samples were detected, with an unqualified rate of 0.13/10 000; 5 HIV RNA positive samples were detected, with an unqualified rate of 0.04/10 000. The unqualified rate of NAT was (0.72±0.04)‰, the single NAT reaction rate [(0.39±0.02)‰] was positively correlated with the single HBV DNA reaction rate [ (0.36±0.02) ‰] (r=0.886, P<0.05). There was a difference in the discriminated reactive rate by individual NAT among three blood bank laboratories (C, F, H) (P<0.05). The median resolution rate of 17 blood station laboratories by minipool test was 36.36%, the median rate of invalid batch of NAT was 0.67%, and the median rate of invalid result of NAT was 0.07‰. The consistency rate of ELISA dual reagent detection results was (99.63±0.24)%, and the median length of equipment failure was 14 days. The error rate of blood type testing in blood collection department was 0.14‰. 【Conclusion】 The quality monitoring indicator system for blood testing process in Shandong can monitor potential risks before, during and after the experiment, and has good applicability, feasibility, and effectiveness, and can facilitate the continuous improvement of laboratory quality control level. The application of blood testing quality monitoring indicators will promote the homogenization and standardization of blood quality management in Shandong, and lay the foundation for future comprehensive evaluations of blood banks.

In fixed prosthodontics, clear exposure of the preparation margin is the prerequisite for obtaining accurate digital impressions and improving the marginal fit of restorations. To resolve the issues associated with the cord retraction technique, such as pain, acute injury, and prolonged procedural time, this study proposes a new technology for intraoral digital impression taking with pneumatic gingival retraction. The new scanning head blows a high-speed airflow that instantaneously separates the free gingiva, locally exposing the subgingival preparation margin. Combined with the farthest point preservation stitching algorithm based on the distance from the normal vector and high-speed laser scanning photography, it achieves global preparation edge data and gingival reconstruction, realizing painless, non-invasive, and efficient precise acquisition of the preparation margin. Using this new technique, a patient with a full porcelain crown restoration on a posterior tooth was treated. The digital impression revealed a clear margin of the preparation, and the crown made from this data has a good marginal fit.
