Objective: To explore the comorbidity and associated factors of dental caries and overweight/obesity among primary and secondary school students in Guangxi, so as to provide a scientific basis for the development of targeted prevention strategies. Methods: A stratified cluster random sampling method was used to survey 178 700 students from the fourth grade of primary school to the third year of high school in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from September to November 2023, including physical examination, oral screening, and questionnaire survey. Chisquare tests and binary Logistic regression analysis were employed to investigate the related factors of the cooccurrence of dental caries and overweight/obesity among students. Results: The comorbidity rate of dental caries and overweight/obesity was 9.55%, with urban areas (9.95%) higher than rural counties (9.24%), boys (10.54%) higher than girls (8.54%), primary school students (11.49%) higher than senior high school students (8.92%) and junior high school students (8.05%), and nonboarding students (11.44%) higher than boarding students (7.94%), and all differences were statistically significant (χ2=26.07, 207.91, 471.54, 629.14,P<0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that consuming cereal for breakfast (OR=0.91, 95%CI=0.88-0.94), drinking milk in the past week (OR=0.89, 95%CI=0.83-0.95), meeting sleep standards (OR=0.95, 95%CI=0.91-0.99), and brushing teeth at least once a day (OR=0.82, 95%CI=0.73-0.93) had a lower risk of the comorbidity of dental caries and overweight/obesity. In contrast, drinking beverages in the past week (OR=1.14, 95%CI=1.09-1.20), consuming fried foods in the past week (OR=1.11, 95%CI=1.06-1.17), eating fruit ≥1 time every day (OR=1.06, 95%CI=1.02-1.11), consuming fruit ≥1 type every day (OR=1.07, 95%CI=1.01-1.12), and having fish, poultry, meat, or eggbased breakfasts (OR=1.03, 95%CI=1.05-1.13) had a higher risk of the comorbidity of dental caries and overweight/obesity (P<0.05). Conclusions Dietary habits and lifestyle behaviors are associated with the comorbidity of dental caries and overweight/obesity among primary and secondary school students in Guangxi. Guiding students to form healthy living habits is helpful to preven dental caries and overweight/obesity.

BACKGROUND:Most of the studies on combined orthodontic-orthognathic treatment of skeletal class Ⅲ malocclusions have focused on the improvement of the patient's lateral appearance and recovery in the later stages of the treatment,while there are fewer studies observing the microcosmic nature of the alveolar bone remodeling of the lower anterior teeth. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the therapeutic effect of lower anterior tooth decompensation and alveolar bone remodeling in patients with skeletal class Ⅲ malocclusion before and after orthodontic-orthognathic treatment based on oral X-ray lateral films and oral cone-beam CT. METHODS:From January 2015 to May 2023,15 patients with skeletal class Ⅲ malocclusion who underwent orthodontic-orthognathic surgery at Qingdao Hospital of Rehabilitation University were enrolled.All patients underwent lateral cephalography and cone beam computed tomography before and after treatment.Cephalometric measurement items related to the angle and line distance,lip/lingual bone cracking length(d-La/d-Li)and bone cracking/bone fenestration of the lower anterior teeth before and after treatment were measured. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Lateral X-ray films showed that the amount of alveolar bone remodeling after decompensation of the lower anterior teeth showed significant changes compared to before treatment.The root of the tooth moved significantly towards the center of the alveolar bone,and the specific data was closer to normal data,but there were still some differences compared with normal individuals.Based on the cone-beam CT measurement,the bone cracking/bone fenestration length and width of the alveolar bone were improved in almost all the teeth after orthodontic-orthognathic combined treatment,alveolar bone remodeling in some teeth even reached the level of healthy individuals.Before treatment,most patients often experienced bone fenestration/cracking on the lip/lingual side of the lower incisor due to compensatory tooth growth.However,during the preoperative orthodontic stage,decompensation triggered alveolar bone remodeling and significant changes in tooth angle.Preoperative orthodontic treatment caused the upper anterior teeth to retract and the lower anterior teeth to tilt and control the root,but the amount of decompensation before surgery was often insufficient.In the orthognathic surgery stage,the jaw was removed through the positioning guide plate,the maxilla moved forward,and the mandible retreated.During the postoperative orthodontic process,the effect of fine adjustment was better.Although there is a certain degree of recurrence trend in the position of teeth and jawbones,the postoperative orthodontic treatment is closer to the normal value.

Objective To investigate the current status,obstacles,and specific needs associated with the application of transradial access(TRA)in peripheral interventions in Chinese hospitals,with the aim of promoting the broader adoption of TRA in interventional procedures.Methods The Committee of Interventional Oncology of China Anti-Cancer Association conducted a cross-sectional questionnaire survey to investigate and analyze the nationwide situation of TRA in peripheral interventional surgeries in 2022.Results Personnel from 60 hospitals participated in the questionnaire.The results showed that the number of peripheral interventionals performed using TRA was significantly lower than that performed using transfemoral access(TFA),with considerable variability among hospitals.The primary obstacles to the adoption of TRA were the lack of suitable catheters and the difficulty of radial artery puncture.Approximately 86.67％of the institutions expressed a high expectation for the innovation of new TRA-specific devices,particularly catheters,microcatheters,and guidewires.60.00％of medical institutions indicated a strong desire for systematic training and participation in multi-center clinical trials.Conclusions TRA peripheral intervention is feasible in many hospitals in China,however,systematic training and further promotion of TRA are essential.The innovation of new TRA-specific devices and TRA in peripheral intervention is urgent.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of the application of microwave ablation assisted clamp-less suture-less nephron sparing surgery technique in the management of cystic renal cell carcinoma.Methods:The data of 21 consecutive patients with cystic renal cell carcinoma who underwent microwave ablation assisted clamp-less suture-less laparoscopic nephron sparing surgery (MACS-LNSS) in Renji Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from January 2017 to December 2020, were retrospectively analyzed. There were 17 males and 4 females with a mean age of (58.0±2.6) years old. There were 19 cases with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score 0 and 2 with score 1. The mean diameter of the tumor was (3.6±0.4) cm, and the mean distance from the collecting system was (10.7±0.9) mm with 12 located on the left and 9 on the right side. There were 5 cases of Bosniak Ⅲ with mean CT value (27.6±4.6) HU and 16 of Bosniak Ⅳ and the mean estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR) was (84.1±4.1 ) ml/(min·1.73 m 2). The American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) graded 17 cas as grade 1, 3 cases as grade 2 and 1 cases as grade 3. MACS-LNSS was performed for all patients. The microwave ablation probe was introduced via the laparoscopic trocar and inserted into the tumor. Then all tumors were resected after microwave ablation was performed for 1 to 3 cycles lasting 2 to 5 minutes for each tumour with a power output of 60 to 100 W using an MTC-3C microwave ablation system. Results:MACS-LNSS was successfully performed in 20 cases. Another one converted to conventional laparoscopic partial nephrectomy because of intraoperative bleeding with 14 min renal artery branch clamped. No case converted to open surgery or radical nephrectomy. The mean operative time was (92.0±6.3) min, with a mean estimated blood loss of (60.0±7.2) ml. The mean length of postoperative hospital stay was (2.7±0.1) d. No case required perioperative transfusion. One case with fever and one case with urine leakage were observed postoperatively and recovered after conservative treatment. Pathologic results revealed 18 cases of clear cell carcinoma, 3 of low grade malignant potential multilocular cystic renal cell tumors. The median eGFR at 6 months postoperative was (82.9±3.8) ml/(min·1.73 m 2).No local recurrence and distant metastasis was observed with a mean follow-up of (41.3±1.5)(range from 32 to 58) months. Conclusions:MACS-LNSS which has the advantages of controllable complications is an alternative, safe and feasible technique for cystic renal cell carcinoma less than 7 cm, with regular tumor base, and the distance from the collecting system more than 5 mm.

AIM:To explore the effects of moderate-altitude exposure on intestinal flora in healthy individuals.METHODS:The aid-Tibet cadres,who were sent to work from Guangdong(average altitude<50 m)to Nyingchi(average altitude of 2 900 m),were recruited.A total of 76 samples were collected,including 42 samples from healthy adults with plateau living for 0 day and 34 samples from healthy adults with plateau living for 6 months.Fecal samples DNA were ex-tracted,sequenced by the 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing technology and analyzed bioinformatically.RESULTS:Compared with the base group,α diversity was increased(P=4.00×10-4)and β diversity was decreased(P=1.00×10-3).After moderate altitude exposure,the relative abundance of phylum Proteobacteria(|LDA|>4,P<0.05),genus Escherich-ia-Shigella,species Enterococcus_faecalis,Haemophilus_influenzae and Helicobacter_sp._UNSW1.7sp decreased(adjust-ed P<0.05),wheras the relative abundance of phylum Bacteroidetes(|LDA|>4,P<0.05),genus Butyricimona,species Lactobacillus_sp._RA2113(s)and Butyricimonas_sp._Marseille-P2440(s)increased(adjusted P<0.05).The function-al prediction by PICRUSt showed a decrease in the relative abundance of pathway related to xenobiotics biodegradation and metabolism,membrane transport and amino acid metabolism(adjusted P<0.05).Conversely,the relative abundance of pathway related to biosynthesis of other secondary metabolites and nucleotide metabolism was increased(adjusted P<0.05).Finally,the results of microbiome phenotype prediction by BugBase showed that moderate altitude exposure im-proves the gut microbiota functions involving anaerobic oxygen tolerance and gram positive(adjusted P<0.05).And bacte-ria containing facultatively anaerobic oxygen tolerance,oxidative stress tolerance,gram negative and biofilm formation in the six-group decreased significantly compared with those in base group(adjusted P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Moderate altitude exposure impacts the diversity,abundance and function of intestinal flora in healthy population,suggesting that al-titude factors may have some influence on gut microbiota.

Objective:To develop serious games for pediatrics and to explore the effect of cultivating the clinical reasoning and reflection ability of pediatric trainee nurses.Methods:This was a non-randomized controlled trial study. The convenience sampling method was used to select 88 pediatric trainee nurses in the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from April 2021 to January 2022. They were divided into the control group and the experimental group with 44 cases in each group by the method of random sampling. The control group was given clinical practice teaching in pediatrics according to the practice syllabus. Based on the teaching events of Gagne, the teaching links of serious games were designed, and teaching was carried out to the experimental group. The clinical reasoning and reflection ability, learning satisfaction and self-confidence of the two groups of pediatric trainee nurses before and after teaching were evaluated by the Self-Assessment of Clinical Reasoning and Reflection, Student Learning Satisfaction and Self-Confidence Scale, and examination scores of the two groups of pediatric trainee nurses were evaluated.Results:There was no significant difference in the clinical reasoning and reflection ability, learning satisfaction and self-confidence before teaching between the two groups( P>0.05). The total score of clinical reasoning and reflection evaluation after teaching was (101.13±6.69) points in the experimental group, which was higher than that in the control group (94.57 ± 8.86) points, the difference was statistically significant ( t=-3.92, P<0.05). The learning satisfaction and self-confidence scores after teaching were (20.82 ± 2.16), (33.20 ± 1.47) points in the experimental group, which were higher than those in the control group (19.52 ± 2.30), (31.89 ± 2.44) points, the differences were statistically significant ( t=-2.33, -3.07, both P<0.05). The scores on the theory and skill examination in the experimental group were also better than those in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were -2.59--2.14, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The serious game teaching method can effectively improve the clinical reasoning and reflection ability, practical learning satisfaction, self-confidence, and graduation performance of pediatric nursing interns, which can provide a reference for the reform of pediatric nursing practice teaching.

Objective:To investigate the application value of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in the diagnosis and treatment of pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM) in children.Methods:The clinical data of 77 PBM children who underwent ERCP in General Surgery Department of Children's Hospital affiliated to Nanjing Medical University between January 2018 and December 2021 were retrospectively evaluated. Clinical characteristics, classification and post-operative nursing interventions were summarized, and vital signs, changes of biochemical markers and the occurrence of postoperative complications were compared and recorded.Results:77 patients were classified according to Japanese Study Group on Pancreaticobiliary Maljunction (JSGPM), including 34 patients with type A, 18 patients with type B, 21 patients with type C, and 4 patients with type D. There were 68 patients with congenital bile duct dilation and 9 patients without congenital bile duct dialtion. 92 ERCP procedures were performed under general anesthesia, and 91 cases were successful with a success rate of 98.91%. Among these cases, including 7 cases of endoscopic sphincterotomy, 28 cases of endoscopic balloon dilation of the nipple, 22 cases of endoscopic probe dilation, 22 cases of endoscopic stone removal by balloon or basket, 35 cases of endoscopic retrograde biliary stent drainage, 4 cases of endoscopic pancreatic duct drainage, 18 cases of endoscopic nasobiliary drainage, 2 cases of endoscopic nasobiliary drainage, and 14 cases of biliary stent removal. In 77 children with PBM, body temperature, FLACC score, and laboratory-related biochemical indexes including direct bilirubin, serum amylase, ALT, AST and CGT decreased significantly after ERCP, and all the differences were statistically significant (all P value <0.001). The incidence of postoperative complications was 15.38%(14/91), including hyperamylasemia in 9 cases (9.89%) and abdominal pain in 5 cases (5.49%). Conclusions:ERCP is safe and effective in the treatment of abnormal confluence of pancreatic duct in children.

Objective:To investigate the value of three-dimensional (3D) CT in diagnosing cricoarytenoid dislocation.Methods:From January 2021 to December 2021, 31 patients with unilateral cricoarytenoid dislocation who had been treated by reduction forceps at the Affiliated BenQ Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were collected retrospectively, and their voice recovered or improved significantly after therapy. The preoperative CT images were reconstructed by volume rendering (VR). The dislocated side (left and right), type of dislocation (total dislocation and subluxation), and dislocation direction (anterior, posterior, internal and external dislocation) of cricoarytenoid dislocation were observed. According to arytenoid articular surface of cricoid cartilage exposed completely or not (caused by arytenoid displacement), they were divided into complete dislocation and subluxation. According to the direction of arytenoid displacement and the part of arytenoid articular surface of cricoid cartilage exposed, they were divided into anterior, posterior, internal and external dislocation. According to the shape of the vocal cords on laryngoscope, anterior and posterior dislocation of each case was judged, and then compared with that of CT.Results:On VR images, there were 28 cases of cricoarytenoid subluxation (90.3%, 28/31) and 3 cases of complete dislocation (9.7%, 3/31). Left cricoarytenoid dislocation was 26 cases (83.9%, 26/31) and right cricoarytenoid dislocation was 5 cases (16.1%, 5/31). Posterior dislocation was 28 cases (90.3%, 28/31) and anterior dislocation was 3 cases (9.7%, 3/31). There were 23 cases of internal dislocation (74.2%, 23/31), 2 cases of external dislocation (6.4%, 2/31), and 6 cases without obvious internal and external dislocation (19.4%, 6/31). Three cases of complete dislocation were left posterior internal dislocation.There were 24 cases of left posterior dislocation (77.4%, 24/31), 4 cases of right posterior dislocation (12.9%, 4/31), 2 cases of left anterior dislocation (6.4%, 2/31) and 1 case of right anterior dislocation (3.2%, 1/31). On laryngoscope, there were 19 cases of posterior dislocation (61.3%, 19/31), 9 cases of anterior dislocation (29.0%, 9/31), 3 cases were difficult to assess (9.7%, 3/31) because of aryepiglottic fold covering. Sixteen cases (55.2%, 16/28) were consistent with 3D CT, and 12 cases (42.8%, 12/28) were inconsistent.Conclusion:The 3D CT is a reliable method to evaluate cricoarytenoid dislocation, which can show dislocated side, type and direction of cricoarytenoid dislocation clearly.
