Ameloblastoma is a benign tumor characterized by locally invasive phenotypes,leading to facial bone destruction and a high recurrence rate.However,the mechanisms governing tumor initiation and recurrence are poorly understood.Here,we uncovered cellular landscapes and mechanisms that underlie tumor recurrence in ameloblastoma at single-cell resolution.Our results revealed that ameloblastoma exhibits five tumor subpopulations varying with respect to immune response(IR),bone remodeling(BR),tooth development(TD),epithelial development(ED),and cell cycle(CC)signatures.Of note,we found that CC ameloblastoma cells were endowed with stemness and contributed to tumor recurrence,which was dominated by the EZH2-mediated program.Targeting EZH2 effectively eliminated CC ameloblastoma cells and inhibited tumor growth in ameloblastoma patient-derived organoids.These data described the tumor subpopulation and clarified the identity,function,and regulatory mechanism of CC ameloblastoma cells,providing a potential therapeutic target for ameloblastoma.

Objective:To systematically compare the prognosis in non-compressible torso hemorrhage（NCTH）treated by resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta（REBOA）and resuscitation thoracotomy（RT）.Methods:Data were searched form MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed, WanFang, CNKI and VIP databases to collect studies on the prognosis of patients with NCTH undergone REBOA and RT from inception to December 2020. Two reviewers independently screened studies according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data and evaluated the quality of the included studies. The Meta-analysis was performed using Revman 5.3. The patients were divided into REBOA group and RT group according to the different surgical treatment methods on admission, and the prognosis of each group was evaluated. The difference of mortality rate, reoperation rate of laparotomy after operation, reoperation rate of embolization after operation and mortality rate in different operating room area were compared between the two groups. Publication bias was assessed using the Egger test.Results:A total of 2 prospective studies and 4 retrospective studies involving 2, 588 subjects were included. There were 1, 591 patients in REBOA group and 997 patients in RT group. Significant differences were observed in the mortality rate（ I2=68%, OR=0.33, 95% CI 0.26-0.42, P<0.01）, reoperation rate of laparotomy after operation（ I2=76%, OR=1.41, 95% CI 1.11-1.77, P<0.01）and reoperation rate of embolization after operation（ I2=84%, OR=0.76, 95% CI 0.59-0.99, P<0.05）between REBOA group and RT group. Subgroup analysis showed that the mortality rate in the ICU were not statistically different between the two groups（ I2=83%, OR=0.69, 95% CI 0.45-1.05, P>0.05）, but the mortality rate in the emergency room was lower in REBOA group than that in RT group（ I2=94%, OR=0.52, 95% CI 0.38-0.70, P<0.01）. Egger test showed that publication bias had little effect on the results. Conclusions:For patients with NCTH, REBOA can reduce the mortality rate and reoperation rate of embolization after operation, but increase the reoperation rate of laparotomy after operation when compared with RT. In addition, the emergency room may be a more suitable operationg room area for REBOA.

Objective:To understand the overall satisfaction rate with vaccination services in parents of children, and the impact of additional time consumed for vaccination service on overall satisfaction rate.Methods:From December 2019 to January 2020, a total of 3 178 parents of 0-3 years old children were investigated to collect the information about their basic characteristics, additional time spent for vaccination service and overall satisfaction through questionnaires. Binary logistic regression model and restricted cubic spline model were used to evaluate the impact of additional time spend on the overall satisfaction rate.Results:The overall satisfaction rate of parents with vaccination services was 92.32%. The median time for parents to move from home to vaccination clinic was 10.00 (10.00, 20.00) minutes, the median waiting time to make an appointment was 10.00 (5.00, 15.00) minutes, the median waiting time for vaccination was 5.00 (3.00, 10.00) minutes, and the median total additional time spent was 30.00 (20.00, 45.00) minutes. The binary logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting the relevant factors, the main factors affecting the overall satisfaction rate were the waiting time for making an appointment (the 4- minutes group vs. 8- minutes group: OR=1.863, 95% CI: 1.307-2.657), waiting time for vaccination (the <4 minutes group vs. 8- minutes group: OR=1.529, 95% CI: 1.102-2.120; the 4- minutes group vs. 8- minutes group: OR=1.534, 95% CI: 1.104-2.130), total additional time spent (the 15- minutes group vs. 30- minutes group: OR=1.470, 95% CI: 1.094-1.976). Restricted cubic spline analysis showed that the waiting time for making an appointment (non-linear: χ2=13.18, P=0.001), the waiting time for vaccination (non-linear: χ2=13.50, P=0.001), and the total additional time consumed (non-linear: χ2=9.38, P=0.009) showed a non-linear inverted "V" dose response relationship to the overall satisfaction of vaccination services. Conclusions:The waiting time for parents to make an appointment, the waiting time for vaccination and the total additional time spent for receiving vaccination services affected the overall satisfaction rate of the vaccination services. And the waiting time for making an appointment was the most important factor, and it is necessary to shorten the waiting time for appointment. It is suggested that the vaccination clinic should make use of information technology (such as WeChat public account, APP) to make accurate appointments, make appointments to the time period to control the number of people within time period.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of continuous blood purification (CBP) in the treatment of severe sepsis in infants. Methods A retrospective analysis of 40 infants with severe sepsis treated with CBP was performed at PICU of Hunan Children's Hospital from January 2014 to July 2017,and 50 infants with severe sepsis who were not treated with CBP at the same period were enrolled as control group. The indicators included blood gas analysis,lactic acid (Lac),blood glucose,electrolytes, blood routine,C-reaction protein ( CRP) and procalcitonin ( PCT),alanine aminotransferase ( ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST),total bilirubin(TB),urea nitrogen (BUN),serum creatinine (Scr) and creatine kinase isoenzyme MB (CK-MB),pediatric critical illness score (PCIS). Results (1) After 3 days of treatment,the recovery of body temperature,heart rate,respiratory rate and blood pressure in CBP group were better than those in the control group,and the differences between two groups were statistically signifi-cant(P < 0. 05). (2) After treatment,the levels of base excess(BE),Lac,white blood cell (WBC),PCT, CRP,ALT,AST,TB and BUN of CBP group recovered better than those of the control group,the differences were statistically significant (P < 0. 05). (3) The ΔPCIS (D3-D1) of CBP group was higher than that of the control group,and the difference between two groups was statistically significant (P < 0. 05). (4) The fatali-ty rate of CBP group was lower than that of the control group,and there was no significant difference between two groups (P > 0. 05). (5) Two cases of thrombocytopenia,2 cases of femoral vein thrombosis,2 cases of hypovolemic shock,and 1 case of blood coagulation in filter happened in CBP gruop,all cases had no punc-ture site infection. Conclusion CBP can improve the vital signs,internal environment,inflammatory reaction and organ function of infants with severe sepsis,and the effect is better than that of traditional methods. The complications of CBP in infants with severe sepsis are relatively large,so we should strictly master the indica-tions of CBP in the treatment of severe sepsis in children.

Objective To investigatethe quality of life of patients with oral cancer in different period in a hospital, and to explore the impact of patients' psychological status on their quality of life. Methods 50 cases of oral cancer patients in our hospital were investigated in this study by Convenience sampling method. The scale of the hospital anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS, the Japanese version), the quality of life of cancer patients were measured by the scale (FACT-G); the functional evaluation of tumor therapy- head and neck questionnaire (FACT-H&N). Results The comparison of HADS score between patients before and after surgery showed that the improvement of mental status was not obvious in the postoperative patients.The scores of HADS between patients before surgery and after hospital showed that the improvement of mental status was obvious (t=-2.809, P=0.01; t=-3.828, P=0.003). There were significant differences in HADS anxiety and depression-related factors between different periods (F=7.644,P=0.001;F=6.442,P=0.002);Before surgery,patients with low anxiety and depression had higher scores in both emotional and physical functional dimensions, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t=7.882,5.847,6.870,7.262, P<0.05 or 0.01). The scores of the two groups were higher in the whole life quality dimension after surgery,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(t=3.640-7.931,P<0.01 or 0.01).There were significant differences in body function and psychological function scores between different periods(F=8.569, P=0.000; F=10.250, P=0.003). Conclusions Oral cancer patients have a higher level of anxiety and depression before and after surgery, and psychological status of patients with a certain impact on quality of life, it should be targeted for individual characteristics of patients with targeted care measures to improve the psychological status of patients,thereby improving the quality of life of patients.

Objective To analyze the prevalent feature and variant tendency of Scrub Typhus in Guangdong Province from 2006 to 2012, and provide a basis of strategy and measure on prevention and protection of Scrub Typhus. Methods Clinical information of all individual cases was gained from China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention. Cochran-Armitage trend χ2 test was used to describe the variance of Scrub Typhus incidence and the clinical cases of 2013 were predicted by autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model, while descriptive epidemiological analysis was adopted to describe the endemic distribution, seasonal characteristics and population distribution of Scrub Typhus. Results A total of 8 163 Scrub typhus cases were reported in Guangdong Province from 2006 to 2012. Annual mean incidence of the disease was 1.15/100 000 with the incidence showing an upward tendency (χ2 = 3 191.976, P < 0.01). There were 14 dead clinical cases reported with a fatality rate to be 1.72‰(14/8 163). Totally 3 166 people were predicted to infect Scrub Typhus in 2013 by ARIMA model. The disease was prevalent from the end of May to early October and the peak time was in late August (Z = 2 303.71, P < 0.01). The top five cities developed Scrub Typhus were Zhaoqing, Guangzhou, Yunfu, Shaoguan and Qingyuan. Male-female ratio was 1.00 ∶ 1.08 in all reported cases in which 52.78%(4 309/8 163) of them aged from 40 to 65 years old and 59.30%(4 841/8 163) of them were farmers. Conclusions The incidence of Scrub Typhus is rising in Guangdong Province, with the prevalent peak in summer and autumn, and rural populations are at high risk. The most effective preventions are strengthening health education , enhancing individual protection and protecting key populations in special districts.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the change in ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) value and the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) level in children with primary nephrotic syndrome(PNS) and their relationship. METHODS: ABPM and casual blood pressure(CBP) were tested in 114 children with PNS and 12 normal children as a control group. The 24-h urine noradrenaline(NA), adrenaline(A) and dopamine(DA) content were detected through high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical luminescence and the correlation with ABP was analyzed. RESULTS: Among 114 children with PNS, 101 had elevated blood pressure (88.6%), 45 showed high incidence of masked hypertension (39.5%), and 80 non-dipper blood pressure (70.2%). Systolic blood pressure level and blood pressure load were greater than diastolic blood pressure. NA, A, and DA levels of the PNS group were significantly higher than those of the control group, while those of the elevated blood pressure group were significantly higher than those of the normal blood pressure group in PNS children. SNS levels were positively correlated with blood pressure levels and blood pressure load, and negatively correlated with night BP decreasing rates. CONCLUSION Children with PNS have high incidence of hypertension with large proportion of masked hypertension and non-dipper blood pressure. Severe masked hypertension classification should be set up. In PNS children, SNS activity is elevated that might evaluate the blood pressure level and decrease blood pressure circadian rhythm.

Objecfive To detect the functional repair of metanephric mesenchymal cells (MMCs) transplantation in adriamycin (ADR)-induced glomerulopathy rats. Methods A total of 90 Sprague-Dawley female rats were randomly divided into three groups:ADR group (n=40,rats were injected via the tail vein with O.25 mg ADR/100 g body weight on days 1 and 21),ADR- MMCs group(n=40,rats were injected via the tail vein with 5×10~6-7×10~6 MMCs 8 weeks after the second ADR administration),control(n=10).All the rats were scarified 8 weeks after MMCsinjection.Pathology and collagen IV expression in renal tissue were examined.Moreover,matrix metalloproteinases 2 (MMP-2) and matrix metallopmteinases 9 (MMP-9) expression in the renal tissue were also detected with immunohistochemistry,and quantity analysis of protein and gene was further demonstrated with Westem blot and RT-PCR analysis,respectively. Results There were no significant differences in tubulointerstitial injury score and glomerulosclerosis degree between ADR group and ADR-MMCs group(P>0.05).Compared with ADR group,collagen Ⅳ and MMP-2 expression decreased, MMP-9 expression incrased in renal tissue of ADR-MMCs group, and the difference was significant (P<0.05). Conclusion MMCs transplantation may have potentially therapeutic effect on renal tissue fibrosis of adriamyein-induced glomerulopathy in rats, and the signaling pathways of MMPs appear to be involved in these processes.

Objective To investigate the effect and possible mechanism of bone marrow stem cell mobilized by stem cell factor (SCF) with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor(G-CSF)on renal peritubular capillary, fibrosis and renal function in unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) rats. Methods One hundred and twenty eight healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: Sham group, SCF-G group, UUO group and UUO+SCF-G group. Eight rats of each group were randomly selected and killed on the 5th, 14th, 21st and 28th day. Serum creatinine, CD34 positive cells and factor Ⅷ positive cells in renal interstitium, histopathologic lesion scores of interstitial fibrosis and interstitial pathology in kidney were measured. The mRNA expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). and thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) in the renal cortex was detected. Results (1) The renal interstitial fibrosis anti the loss of peritubular capillary were observed in UUO group after two weeks. (2) The number of bone marrow stem cells homing to renal interstitium in UUO +SCF-G group was significantly higher than that in UUO and Sham groups (P<0.05). (3) The loss of peritubular capillary in UUO+SCF-G group appeared later than that in UUO group (P<0.05). (4) The interstitial fibrosis and tubule injury was milder in UUO+SCF-G group than that in UUO group (P<0.05). (5) The decrease of VEGF mRNA expression of renal cortex in UUO +SCF-G group was seen later than that in UUO group. VEGF mRNA expression in UUO+SCF-G group was higher than that in UUO group. (6) The increase of TSP-1 mRNA expression of renal cortex in UUO+SCF-G group was seen later than that in UUO group. TSP-1 mRNA expression in UUO+SCF-G group was lower than that in UUO group (P<0.05). (7) In UUO and UUO+SCF-G groups, peritubular capillary index was negatively correlated with serum creatinine, interstitial fibrosis and interstitial lesion scores. VEGF mRNA expression of renal cortex was positively correlated with peritubular capillary index, and TSP-1 mRNA expression of renal cortex was positively correlated with peritubular capillary index. Conclusions (1)The loss of peritubular capillary is found in UUO group, and is correlated with interstitial fibrosis and interstitial lesion. (2) Application of SCF with G-CSF can effectively motivate stem cells to injured renal tissue, contribute to decrease the loss of peritubular capillary, lessen interstitial fibrosis and interstitial lesion, and ameliorate renal function. (3) Application of SCF with G-CSF can up-regulate VEGF mRNA expression and down-regulate TSP-1 mRNA expression, which may contribute to promote the repair of endothelial cells and protect peritubular capillary.
