Digital technologies have become an integral part of complete denture restoration. With advancement in computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM), tools such as intraoral scanning, facial scanning, 3D printing, and numerical control machining are reshaping the workflow of complete denture restoration. Unlike conventional methods that rely heavily on clinical experience and manual techniques, digital technologies offer greater precision, predictability, and efficacy. They also streamline the process by reducing the number of patient visits and improving overall comfort. Despite these improvements, the clinical application of digital complete denture restoration still faces challenges that require further standardization. The major issues include appropriate case selection, establishing consistent digital workflows, and evaluating long-term outcomes. To address these challenges and provide clinical guidance for practitioners, this expert consensus outlines the principles, advantages, and limitations of digital complete denture technology. The aim of this review was to offer practical recommendations on indications, clinical procedures and precautions, evaluation metrics, and outcome assessment to support digital restoration of complete denture in clinical practice.

Saponins associated with Panax notoginseng (P. notoginseng) demonstrate significant therapeutic efficacy across multiple diseases. However, certain high-yield saponins face limited clinical applications due to their reduced pharmacological efficacy. This study synthesized and evaluated 36 saponin-1,2,3-triazole derivatives of ginsenosides Rg1/Rb1 and notoginsenoside R1 for anti-adipogenesis activity in vitro. The research revealed that the ginsenosides Rg1-1,2,3-triazole derivative a17 demonstrates superior adipogenesis inhibitory effects. Structure-activity relationships (SARs) analysis indicates that incorporating an amidyl-substituted 1,2,3-triazole into the saponin side chain via Click reaction enhances anti-adipogenesis activity. Additionally, several other derivatives exhibit general adipogenesis inhibition. Compound a17 demonstrated enhanced potency compared to the parent ginsenoside Rg1. Mechanistic investigations revealed that a17 exhibits dose-dependent inhibition of adipogenesis in vitro, accompanied by decreased expression of preadipocytes. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), fatty acid synthase (FAS), and fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) adipogenesis regulators. These findings establish the ginsenoside Rg1-1,2,3-triazole derivative a17 as a promising adipocyte differentiation inhibitor and potential therapeutic agent for obesity and associated metabolic disorders. This research provides a foundation for developing effective therapeutic approaches for various metabolic syndromes.

Objective:
To explore the facilitating and hindering factors of mental health promotion activities in junior and senior high schools from teachers perspectives, as well as coping strategies, so as to provide evidence for implementing teacher led mental health promotion programs.
Methods:
From September 2023 to September 2024, by using purposive sampling method, 5 junior high schools, 5 regular high schools, 2 vocational high schools in four provinces and municipalities (Tianjin, Shanxi, Shandong, and Jiangxi) were selected. A total of 92 teachers (78 homeroom teachers and 14 full time or part time psychological counselors) were interviewed using semi structured focus group discussions (one session per school, totaling 12 sessions). Thematic analysis was applied to code and analyze the interview transcripts.
Results:
The implementation of mental health promotion activities in middle schools was influenced by three levels: teachers, schools and society. Specifically, teachers exhibited a high support low capability phenomenon (81 participants supported conducting such activities, but 71 felt lacking in professional capacity); activity effectiveness and support systems were imbalanced (42 mentioned significant effects, while 78 reported insufficient support); there was a mismatch between student demand and activity content (9 mentioned students had psychological needs, but 11 indicated existing activities failed to meet these needs); administrative support and sustainability showed disparities (14 believed sufficient administrative support existed, while 37 noted sustainability issues); parental awareness and participation remained inadequate (11 highlighted parents need for mental health knowledge, and 37 perceived insufficient understanding of psychological issues among parents). Effective strategies included enhancing teachers effectiveness, providing essential skill training, focusing on the needs of teenagers,enhancing program sustainability, and eliminating misconceptions about mental health among parents.
Conclusion
Mental health promotion activities in junior and senior high schools should focus on enhancing teachers skills, improving activity sustainability, reducing stigma among parents, and establishing a collaborative network for school based mental health promotion.

Objective:To analyze the detection of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the multiple corresponding relationships of its risk factors in a middle-aged and young adult population undergoing health check-ups.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study conducted on 15 423 individuals aged between 18 and 59 who underwent health check-ups at the Health Management Center of Henan Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January to December 2021. Relevant health examination data was collected, including basic information (age, gender, past medical history, smoking and alcohol consumption), physical examination, laboratory indicators such as blood lipids and blood glucose, and abdominal ultrasound results. The chi-square test was used to compare the prevalence of NAFLD among different characteristics of the population, and multiple correspondence analysis was employed for statistical analysis of related influencing factors.Results:A total of 5 859 cases of NAFLD were detected in this study, with a detection rate of 37.99%. The detection rate of NAFLD gradually increased with age ( χ2=828.841, P<0.001) and body mass index (BMI) ( χ2=1 889.809, P<0.001). The detection rates of NAFLD were higher in individuals with hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterolemia, high low-density lipoprotein cholesterolemia, and hyperuricemia compared to those without these conditions ( χ2 value was 1 223.673, 364.808, 444.074, 2 436.765, 1 323.736, 591.478, and 943.069, respectively, all P<0.001). Multiple correspondence analysis revealed that NAFLD was closely related to hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, diabetes, hyperuricemia, overweight, obesity, and the age group of 45-49 years. Correspondence analysis graphs for males and females showed associations between NAFLD and hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, hyperuricemia, overweight, and obesity. In males, NAFLD was closely related to the age group of 35-49 years, while in females, it was closely associated with the age group of 45-49 years and diabetes. Conclusions:The detection rate of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is relatively high in middle-aged and young adult populations. Males, those who are overweight or obese, and individuals with hypertension, diabetes, hyperuricemia, or abnormal blood lipids are more susceptible to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

ObjectiveTo investigate the role of the Wnt1/β-catenin signaling pathway in the intervention of medicated serum of Buyang Huanwutang (BYHWT) in endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) of human pulmonary artery endothelial cells (HPAECs) as well as its related mechanisms. MethodMedicated serum of BYHWT was prepared by gavage to New Zealand rabbits with a dosage of 53.36 g·kg-1·d-1 after decocting the medicine as usual. In addition, the same volume of normal saline was used to prepare blank serum. The HPAECs were cultured in vitro, and then induced by the transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) to establish the EndMT model. Five groups were established: blank group (10% blank serum), model group (TGF-β1+10% blank serum), low-dose BYHWT group (TGF-β1+2.5% medicated serum+7.5% blank serum), medium-dose BYHWT group (TGF-β1+5% medicated serum+5% blank serum) and high-dose BYHWT group (TGF-β1+10% medicated serum). Through Western blot, the expressions of Wnt1, β-catenin, and glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) were detected. In order to further clarify the mechanism of the Wnt1/β-catenin signaling pathway in the intervention of the medicated serum of BYHWT in inhibiting EndMT, the overexpression of β-catenin was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction after plasmid of overexpression β-catenin was constructed and transfected into the HPAECs. The HPAECs were intervened by 10% medicated serum with the optimal effect in previous studies. Then, they were divided into another five groups: the blank group (10% blank serum), the model group (TGF-β1+10% blank serum), the BYHWT group (TGF-β1+10% medicated serum), the BYHWT+overexpression plasmid control group (TGF-β1+10% medicated serum+blank plasmid) and the BYHWT+β-catenin overexpression plasmid group (TGF-β1+10% medicated serum+β-catenin). Apart from that, cell proliferation ability was detected by the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) method and cell migration ability by scratch assay and Transwell assay together. Immunofluorescence was adopted to detect the expressions of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule (PECAM-1/CD31), vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin), fibroblast-specific protein 1 (FSP1), and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA). ResultIn comparison to the blank group, the expressions of Wnt1 and β-catenin were significantly increased (P<0.01) while the expression of GSK-3β significantly decreased (P<0.01) in the model group. In comparison to the model group, the expressions of Wnt1 and β-catenin were significantly decreased (P<0.01) while the expression of GSK-3β was significantly increased (P<0.01) in the high-dose BYHWT group. The expression of β-catenin was significantly decreased (P<0.01) while the expression of GSK-3β was significantly increased (P<0.01) in the medium-dose BYHWT group. There was no significant difference in these indexes of the low-dose BYHWT group. In comparison to the blank group, proliferation and migration abilities were remarkably increased (P<0.01) and the immunofluorescence intensities of CD31 and VE-cadherin were decreased, while those of FSP1 and α-SMA were increased in the model group. In comparison to the model group, proliferation and migration abilities were significantly decreased (P<0.01) and the immunofluorescence intensities of CD31 and VE-cadherin were increased, while those of FSP1 and α-SMA diminished in the BYHWT group. Beyond that, the change trend of those indexes in the BYHWT+β-catenin overexpression plasmid group was consistent with that in the model group. In comparison to the BYHWT+overexpression plasmid control group, proliferation and migration abilities were significantly increased (P<0.01) and the immunofluorescence intensities of CD31 and VE-cadherin were decreased, while those of FSP1 and α-SMA were increased in the BYHWT+β-catenin overexpression plasmid group. ConclusionMedicated serum of BYHWT can inhibit EndMT of HPAECs by the Wnt1/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate whether chlorogenic acid can inhibit the proliferation, migration, invasion and promote apoptosis of lung cancer A549 cells by causing mitochondrial dysfunction through PI3K-Akt pathway.Methods:A549 cells were treated with chlorogenic acid at concentrations of 0, 25, 50, 100, 150, and 200 μg/ml for 48 h. CCK-8 assay was used to detect the cell proliferation rate and calculate the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC 50). A549 cells were divided into three groups: control group, chlorogenic acid group (IC 50) and chlorogenic acid + 740-YP group (IC 50 chlorogenic acid +50 μg/ml 740YP). After 48 h of intervention, the cell migration distance was detected by cell scratch assay. Cell invasion assay was used to detect cell invasion ability. Cell cycle, apoptosis and mitochondrial membrane potential were detected by flow cytometry. The content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in cell supernatant was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression of p-PI3K, p-Akt and Caspase3. Results:The IC 50 of chlorogenic acid to A549 cells was 57.45 μg/ml. The results of cell scratch assay showed that the 48 h migration distances of the control group, chlorogenic acid group and chlorogenic acid + 740YP group were (424.80±14.43), (289.67±18.93) and (402.22±17.99) μm, respectively. The results of cell invasion assay showed that the numbers of invasive cells after 48 h were 96.00±6.24, 35.33±7.64 and 83.00±2.00, and the results of flow cytometry showed that the 48 h apoptosis rates were (6.15±0.17) %, (54.63±0.72) % and (17.27±0.39) %, respectively, among the three groups with statistically significant differences ( F=105.98, P<0.001; F=90.62, P<0.001; F=8 321.99, P<0.001). Compared with the control group, the cell migration distances and invasive numbers of chlorogenic acid group and chlorogenic acid + 740YP group were decreased (all P<0.05), while the apoptosis rates were significantly increased (both P<0.001). Compared with chlorogenic acid group, the cell migration distance of chlorogenic acid + 740YP group increased ( P<0.001), the number of cell invasion increased ( P<0.001), and the apoptosis rate decreased ( P<0.001). The results of flow cytometry showed that the proportions of cells in G 0/G 1 phase in the control group, chlorogenic acid group and chlorogenic acid + 740YP group were (65.75±0.58) %, (55.84±0.78) % and (55.24±1.37) %, respectively. The proportions of G 2/M phase were (11.21±1.03) %, (20.23±0.62) % and (9.96±0.33) %, and the proportions of S phase were (23.04±0.49) %, (23.92±1.36) % and (34.80±1.15) %, respectively, with statistically significant differences ( F=111.02, P<0.001; F=181.26, P<0.001; F=113.05, P<0.001). Compared with the control group, the proportions of G 0/G 1 phase cells in chlorogenic acid group and chlorogenic acid + 740YP group decreased (both P<0.001), and the proportion of G 2/M phase in chlorogenic acid group increased ( P<0.001), and the proportion of S phase cells in chlorogenic acid + 740YP group increased ( P<0.001). Compared with chlorogenic acid group, the proportion of G 2/M phase cells decreased and the proportion of S phase cells increased in chlorogenic acid + 740YP group (both P<0.001). The results of mitochondrial membrane potential detection showed that the JC-1 fluorescence intensity of mitochondria in the control group, chlorogenic acid group and chlorogenic acid + 740YP group were 39.51±1.32, 10.05±0.19 and 21.85±1.45, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( F=508.82, P<0.001). Compared with the control group, the fluorescence intensity of chlorogenic acid group and chlorogenic acid + 740YP group decreased (both P<0.001). Compared with chlorogenic acid group, the fluorescence intensity of chlorogenic acid + 740YP group increased ( P<0.001). ELISA results showed that the MDA contents of the control group, chlorogenic acid group and chlorogenic acid + 740YP group were (0.47±0.01), (0.61±0.01) and (0.56±0.01) nmol/ml, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( F=162.30, P<0.001). Compared with the control group, MDA contents in chlorogenic acid group and chlorogenic acid + 740YP group increased (both P<0.001). Compared with chlorogenic acid group, MDA content in chlorogenic acid + 740YP group decreased ( P=0.001). Western blotting results showed that the relative protein expression levels of p-PI3K in the control group, chlorogenic acid group and chlorogenic acid + 740YP group were 1.01±0.33, 0.28±0.14 and 0.34±0.20, respectively. The relative protein expression levels of p-Akt were 1.00±0.16, 0.43±0.05 and 0.95±0.14, and the relative protein expression levels of Caspase3 were 1.00±0.04, 1.41±0.05 and 0.70±0.13, respectively, and there were statistically significant differences ( F=8.48, P=0.018; F=19.11, P=0.002; F=57.50, P<0.001). Compared with the control group, the expressions of p-PI3K and p-Akt protein in chlorogenic acid group decreased, and the expression of Caspase3 protein increased (all P<0.05). The expressions of p-PI3K and Caspase3 protein in chlorogenic acid + 740YP group decreased (both P<0.05). Compared with chlorogenic acid group, the expression of p-Akt protein in chlorogenic acid + 740YP group increased, and the expression of Caspase3 protein decreased (both P<0.05) . Conclusion:Chlorogenic acid may inhibit the PI3K-Akt pathway by reducing the phosphorylation of PI3K and Akt proteins, resulting in the damage of mitochondrial function and the accumulation of MDA, which eventually leads to the damage of lung cancer A549 cells function and the reduction of cells activity, and then promotes cells apoptosis.
