Objective To understand the current situation of breastfeeding duration in children aged 0-5 years in Yunnan Province,and to explore the influencing factors of breastfeeding duration.Methods Using the data of the 6th National Health Service Survey in Yunnan Province,1582 children aged 0～5 years in Yunnan Province were selected as the research subjects,and the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of breastfeeding duration.Results The mean duration of breastfeeding for children aged 0～5 years in Yunnan Province was 9.29 months,and region,time of complementary food addition,time of suckling and family income were the main factors influencing the duration of breastfeeding.Conclusion The duration of breastfeeding for children aged 0～5 years in Yunnan Province deviates significantly from the recommendations provided by both the World Health Organization(WHO)and China's child breastfeeding guidelines.Given the current situation,the relevant departments must enhance their focus on this issue.

In the field of dental aesthetics,digital aesthetic design plays a crucial role in helping dentists to predict treatment outcomes vis-ually,as well as in enhancing the consistency of knowledge and understanding of aesthetic goals between dentists and patients.It serves as the foundation for achieving ideal aesthetic effects.However,there is no clear standard for this digital process currently in China and abroad.Many dentists lack of systematic understanding of how to carry out digital aesthetic design for treatment.To establish standardized processes for dental aesthetic design and to improve the homogeneity of treatment outcomes,Chinese Society of Digital Dental Industry(CSD-DI)convened domestic experts in related field to compile this consensus.This article elaborates on the key aspects of digital aesthetic data collection,integration steps,and the digital aesthetic design process.It also formulates a decision tree for dental aesthetics at macro level and outlines corresponding workflows for various clinical scenarios,serving as a reference for clinicians.

Atherosclerosis is a chronic vascular inflammatory disease caused by abnormal lipid metabolism.The formation of lipid-rich foam cells acts as the initial trigger for development of atherosclerotic lesions.Recent studies have shown that lipophagy,a form of selective autophagy,can selectively degrade lipid droplets stored intracellularly and promote cholesterol efflux through the autophagic lysosomal pathway.As a result,intracellular lipid accumulation is re-duced and foaming is inhibited,making lipophagy a potential new target for current anti-atherosclerosis therapy.This arti-cle reviews the crucial role and molecular mechanism of lipophagy in the link between lipid metabolism and atherosclero-sis.Its objective is to outline the regulatory mechanism of lipophagy and present fresh insights for the treatment of athero-sclerotic diseases.

OBJECTIVE To establish a method for concentration determination of caffeine and its three metabolites， theophylline， paraxanthine and theobromine in urine， and apply it in clinical practice. METHODS Using caffeine-13C3-d3 as internal standard （IS）， and the urine samples were protein precipitated with acetonitrile； HPLC-MS/MS method was adopted to determine the concentrations of caffeine and its three metabolites. The determination was performed on Waters ACQUITY UPLC® BEH HILIC column with mobile phase consisting of 60 mmol/L ammonium acetate （A）-acetonitrile （B） （gradient elution） at the flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. The column temperature was set at 38 ℃ ， and the sample size was 2 μL. The electrospray ionization detection was operated in a positive mode by multiple reaction monitoring. The detection ions for quantitative analysis were m/z 195.1→110.0 for caffeine， m/z 181.1→124.0 for theophylline， m/z 181.1→124.0 for paraxanthine， m/z 181.1→138.0 for theobromine， and m/z 198.1→ 140.1 for IS. The above method was used to determine the concentrations of caffeine and its three metabolites in the urine of 19 infants with apnea of prematurity （AOP）. RESULTS The linear ranges of mass concentration of caffeine， theophylline， paraxanthin and theobromine were 0.200-200， 0.050-50.0，0.050 0-50.0， and 0.100-100 μg/mL， respectively. The lower limits of quantification were 0.200， 0.050， 0.050 and 0.100 μg/mL （r＞0.990）， respectively. RSDs of intra-day and intra- day precision were not above 10.37%， and matrix factors were 85.68%-109.90%； extraction recoveries were 93.53%-109.40% （RSD≤15%）， and RSDs of stability tests were all lower than 15%. The concentrations of caffeine and its three metabolites in the urine of 19 cases were （27.346±7.951）， （0.351±0.223）， （0.428±0.395） and （0.472±0.374） μg/mL， respectively. CONCLUSIONS The established HPLC-MS/MS method is simple， sensitive and can be used for the determination of caffeine and its three metabolites in urine samples of AOP.

This paper summarized professor ZHANG Boli's experience in treating stubborn bi （痹） with the herbal pair of Ruxiang （Olibanum）- Moyao （Myrrha）. The basic pathogenesis of stubborn bi is channel and collateral stasis and obstruction. Ruxiang and Moyao are thus used in mutual reinforcement to rectify qi and diffuse bi， activate blood and relieve pain， thereby removing static and obstructed qi and blood， unblocking the obstructed channels and colla-terals， which is especially suitable for stubborn bi caused by channel and collateral obstruction. In clinical practice， the herbal pair of Ruxiang-Moyao is used together with qi-moving and blood-activating medicinals to treat chest bi by expelling stasis and diffusing stagnation， dissipating cold and unblocking vessels. To treat long-term wither and weakness in late stage of stroke， the medicinals of boosting qi and invigorating blood， unblocking channels and venting collaterals can be added to the herbal pair so as to soothe and drain vessels and collaterals， harmonize and regulate qi and blood. Simiao Yongan Decoction （四妙勇安汤） can be integrated in the treatment of vessel bi by moving qi and dissolving stasis， and for the long-term stubborn vessel bi， integrated internal and external treatment is suggested by external use of Ruxiang-Moyao to vent bi with aromatics. Moreover， it is emphasized to use the herbal pair of Ruxiang-Moyao in accordance with indications and cautions.

OBJECTIVE To prepare apigenin silk fibroin（API@SF）nanoparticles and to evaluate their safety and anti-tumor activity. METHODS API@SF nanoparticles were prepared by nanoprecipitation method ，and their morphology ，particle size ，Zeta potential，drug loading amount and in vitro release were characterized. The safety of nanoparticles was evaluated by hemolysis test and HE staining. MTT assay was adopted to evaluate inhibitory effects of API@SF nanoparticles on breast cancer 4T1 cells in mice. RESULTS The prepared API@SF nanoparticles were spherical with uniform distribution. The average particle size was 406.61 nm， the polydispersity index was 0.154，the Zeta potential was －18.4 mV，and the average drug-loading amount was 5.20％. The in vitro release results showed that the release rate of the nanoparticles was relatively fast in the release medium of pH 5.0 and relatively slow in the release medium of pH 7.4. Results of hemolysis test and HE staining showed that the nanoparticles had good biocompatibility. Results of MTT assay showed that the inhibitory effect of API@SF nanoparticles on 4T1 cells was significantly higher than that of API raw materials （P＜0.05），and its mechanism may be related to increasing the level of reactive oxygen species in cells. CONCLUSIONS API@SF nanoparticles are prepared successfully ，which possess good safety and anti-tumor activity.

External apical root resorption is among the most common risks of orthodontic treatment, and it cannot be completely avoided and predicted. Risk factors causing orthodontic root resorption can generally be divided into patient- and treatment-related factors. Root resorption that occurs during orthodontic treatment is usually detected by radiographical examination. Mild or moderate root absorption usually does no obvious harm, but close attention is required. When severe root resorption occurs, it is generally recommended to suspend the treatment for 3 months for the cementum to be restored. To unify the risk factors of orthodontic root resorption and its clinical suggestions, we summarized the theoretical knowledge and clinical experience of more than 20 authoritative experts in orthodontics and related fields in China. After discussion and summarization, this consensus was made to provide reference for orthodontic clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the comparison of clinical effects between two models of alimentary reconstruction after total gastrectomy in the elderly patients with gastric cancer.Methods 70 patients receiving alimentary tract reconstructions of Orr-type Roux-en-Y reconstruction (Orrtype,40 cases) and modified Brawn Ⅰ (30 cases) from January 2007 to December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.The operative time,amount of bleeding,early postoperative complications and mortality,food intake,nutritional status and alimentary tract function were compared at 6 months after surgery.Results There were no significant differences between the two methods in the operative time [(198.8±14.0)min vs 233.5±30.7)min,t=-l.697,P＞0.05)],amount of bleeding [(420 ± 43) ml vs (340 ± 25) ml t =-1.956,P ＞ 0.05],and early postoperative complications [(17.5％ vs 16.7％),x2 =0.008,P＞0.05].However,times of liquid diet intake and semi liquid diet intake of the Orr-type reconstruction method was comparatively shorter than that of the modified Brawn Ⅰ [(4.8±2.1) d vs (7.6±2.4) d,and (9.5±3.6) d vs (11.5±3.7) d,t=-5.192,P＜0.05)].Nutritional status (weight,hemoglobin,total serum proteins and serum albumin) at 6 months after operation showed no significant differences between the two methods.But constituent ratio of Visick scores Ⅰ-Ⅱ of Orr-type was bigger than that of modified Brawn Ⅰ (86.7％ vs 62.5％,x2 =5.063,P＞0.05).Conclusions Orr-type Roux-en-Y reconstruction method can avoid reflux esophagitis,and the procedure is more simple than the modified Brawn Ⅰ method.Therefore,Orr-type Roux-en-Y reconstruction should be recommended as an adoptable method of digestive reconstruction after total gastrectomy for gastric cancer in the elderly patients.

OBJECTIVE: To test the association of K469E, the common intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) polymorphism with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and expression of ICAM-1 in Han people of Central and South Region in China. METHODS: A case-control study was done on 91 patients with COPD and 80 matched controls of Han people from central and south region in China, mainly from Hunan Province. Genomic DNA was extracted from white blood cells. ICAM-1 sequences were amplified by PCRand analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis. Genotypes were defined by base sequencing. In addition, soluable intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) serum levels were measured in 86 people picked out randomly from the COPD group and the control group. RESULTS: There was no difference in the frequency of the genotype and allele between the COPD group and the controls, but compared with those who were not very severe, the frequency of KE/ EE genotypes and E allele in COPD patients at very severe stage was significantly higher (10/16 vs 26/75, 12/30 vs 20/150, P<0.05). The level of sICAM-1 increased in the COPD patients, with negative correlation to forced expiratory volume in one second for the percentage of predicted value (FEV1%). But in both COPD patients and controls, the level of sICAM-1 did not differ significantly in different genotypes(P>0.05). CONCLUSION K469E polymorphism of ICAM-1 may not affect the susceptibility of COPD and the expression of ICAM-1 in Han people from central and south of China in this study, but carriers of E allele are at high risk of developing severe stage of COPD.

Objective To explore the effect of age on clinical postoperative outcomes of elderly patients with colorectal cancer undergoing surgical treatment. Methods The clinical data of 1249 patients from January 1999 to December 2007 were analyzed retrospectively, and patients were divided into two groups according to age; the study group (≥75 years, n=312) and the control group (<75 years, n=937). Results (1) The average age was significantly higher in study group than in control group (t=33.09,P<0.05), and the rates of malnutrition risk, co-morbidity, tumor in right colon and local Iymphonodus metastasis were significantly higher in study group than in control group (x2=47.33, 130.75, 21.24 and 45.33, P<0.05). ( 2 ) The rates of preoperative surgical complications, bowel obstruction and emergency operation were significantly higher in study group than in control group (x2 =26.81, 34.14 and 10.72, P<0.05) . The rate of resection was significantly lower in study group than in control group (x2 =9.732, P<0.05). (3) The overall incidences of postoperative complications, general complications and mortality of perioperative period were significantly higher in study group than in control group (x2= 19.38, 20.75 and 10.11,P<0.05). (4) The two-year survival and five-year survival were significantly lower in study group than in control group (x2=11.91 and 27.17, P<0.05), but there were no significant differences in the cancer-specific two-year survival and five-year survival between the both groups. Conclusions Preoperative complications and co-morbidities, local tumor metastasis and postoperative nonsurgical complications adversely affect the postoperative outcomes for elderly patients with colorectal cancer.
