Regional odontodysplasia (ROD) is a rare localized dental developmental anomaly. The typical clinical manifestations of ROD are abnormal tooth eruption, abnormal development of enamel and dentin. The radiographic characteristic is "ghost teeth". Its etiology still remains unknown. The care and treatment of a patient with ROD needs a multidisciplinary approach. And the treatment should be taken after the assessment of each individual case of ROD. This paper reviews the definition, etiology, epidemiological features, clinical manifestations, imaging features, dental microstructure and treatment strategies of ROD to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To investigate the mid-and long-term clinical efficacy of modified Colonna arthroplasty in the treatment of unilateral dislocation type developmental dysplasia of hip (DDH) in adolescents.Methods:A total of 28 adolescent DDH patients with unilateral dislocation who underwent modified Colonna capsular arthroplasty from January 2016 to January 2018 in the 920th Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force of People's Liberation Army were retrospectively analyzed. There were 4 males and 24 females, aged 16.5±5.0 years (range, 10-25 years). The mean body mass index was 21.2±1.1 kg/m 2 (range, 18.7-24.1 kg/m 2). According to DDH classification, 10 cases were Tonnis type III and 18 cases were Tonnis type IV. The postoperative lateral center-edge angle, acetabular coverage, femoral anteversion angle and leg length discrepancy were measured. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, visual analogue scale (VAS) of hip pain, Harris hip score (HHS) and congenital dislocation of the hip score were recorded. Results:All patients successfully completed the operation and were followed up for 72.1±5.2 months (range, 60-84 months). The operation time was 81.6±4.3 min (range, 70-90 min), the intraoperative blood loss was 177.5±12.6 ml (range, 160-200 ml), and the hospital stay was 6.8±0.7 days (range, 6-9 days). The VAS score of the hip joint was 1.8±0.6 before operation and 2.3±0.6 at the last follow-up, and the difference was not statistically significant ( t=2.845, P=0.224). The preoperative HHS score was 57.1±5.9, and it increased to 87.3±4.0 at the last follow-up, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-22.141, P=0.001). At the last follow-up, the femoral anteversion angle was 17.0°±1.5°, which was lower than that before operation 41.6°±2.4°, with a statistically significant difference ( t=-44.868, P=0.008). The leg length discrepancy was 10.2±2.3 mm, which was lower than that before operation (26.4±6.1 mm), with a statistically significant difference ( t=-12.892, P<0.001). The lateral center-edge angle was 28° (26°, 30°), and the acetabular coverage rate was 78% (76%, 79%). The curative effect evaluation standard score of congenital dislocation of the hip was 24 (16.7, 25.7) points, including 7 excellent cases, 14 good cases, 4 fair cases, and 3 poor cases. The excellent and good rate was 75% (21/28). Conclusion:The modified Colonna arthroplasty for the treatment of unilateral dislocation DDH in adolescents has good mid-and long-term hip function recovery and radiographic improvement.

The structure of N-glycans on specific proteins can regulate innate and adaptive immunity via sensing environmental signals. Meanwhile, the structural diversity of N-glycans poses analytical challenges that limit the exploration of specific glycosylation functions. In this work, we used THP-1-derived macrophages as examples to show the vast potential of a N-glycan structural interpretation tool StrucGP in N-glycoproteomic analysis. The intact glycopeptides of macrophages were enriched and analyzed using mass spectrometry (MS)-based glycoproteomic approaches, followed by the large-scale mapping of site-specific glycan structures via StrucGP. Results revealed that bisected GlcNAc, core fucosylated, and sialylated glycans (e.g., HexNAc4Hex5Fuc1Neu5Ac1, N4H5F1S1) were increased in M1 and M2 macrophages, especially in the latter. The findings indicated that these structures may be closely related to macrophage polarization. In addition, a high level of glycosylated PD-L1 was observed in M1 macrophages, and the LacNAc moiety was detected at Asn-192 and Asn-200 of PD-L1, and Asn-200 contained Lewis epitopes. The precision structural interpretation of site-specific glycans and subsequent intervention of target glycoproteins and related glycosyltransferases are of great value for the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for different diseases.

Objective:To establish a disk (CD) microfluidic chip detection platform for the rapid detection of CALR-1 and CALR-2 mutations in patients with cerebral infarction, and summarize its clinical application value.Methods:Based on microfluidic technology and loop mediated isothermal amplification technology, a CD microfluidic chip detection platform for simultaneous detection of CALR-1 and CALR-2 gene mutations were established, and the sensitivity, specificity, repeatability and accuracy of the platform were verified. A total of 124 patients with cerebral infarction treated in Huashan Hospital, Shanghai Medical College, Fudan University from November 2019 to March 2021 were prospectively selected into the experimental group; and 80 healthy subjects were included in the control group. The CALR-1 and CALR-2 gene mutations in anticoagulant peripheral blood samples were detected by the CD microfluidic chip. Each chip could detect 4 samples at the same time and synchronously detect 3 indexes of each sample. The detection results could be obtained after isothermal amplification for 40 min. At the same time, sequencing method was used to verify the test results, and the consistency of the results of the two detection methods was compared.Results:Using this CD microfluidic chip platform, the synchronous amplification of 3 indexes in the sample could be completed within 40 min without the need of thermal circulation, and the whole detection process of the sample could be completed within 60 min. For samples with a high concentration of target nucleic acid, typical positive signals could be visualized after amplification for 10 min, and the test results would be available within 30 minutes after receiving the samples. The detection sensitivity of CD microfluidic chip method for CALR-1 and CALR-2 mutation load concentration was 1.0% and 0.5% respectively. Nonspecific amplification was not observed for the non-target nucleic acid samples, indicating the high specificity of this method. The coincidence rates of intra and inter batch repeatability were 100% (20/20) respectively. Two samples with CALR gene mutation were found in the cerebral infarction group, both of which were CALR-1 mutations (L367fs*46). There was no CALR-1 or CALR-2 mutation in the control group. The detection results of CD microfluidic chip method were completely consistent with the sequencing verification results (100% [204/204]).Conclusions:The CD microfluidic chip method could be used for the detection of CALR-1 and CALR-2 gene mutations in clinical samples of patients with cerebral infarction. This method has the advantages of high detection sensitivity, good detection specificity, fast detection speed and high detection flux, which is helpful to clarify the etiology of patients with cerebral infarction.

Objective:To translate the Understanding COPD (UCOPD) into Chinese, culturally adjust it and test its reliability and validity.Methods:According to the translation principle of Brislin questionnaire, the English version of UCOPD was translated, back-translated and culturally adjusted and pre-tested to form the Chinese version of UCOPD. From December 2020 to April 2021, a total of 101 COPD patients admitted to Tianjin Medical University General Hospital were enrolled using the convenient sampling method. The reliability and validity of the scale were tested.Results:The Chinese version of UCOPD included section A and B. Section A included 3 dimensions, such as "about COPD" "managing symptoms of COPD" "accessing help and support", with a total of 18 items. The results of exploratory factor analysis showed that the cumulative variance contribution rate of the three common factors was 59.35%. The Cronbach's α coefficient of section A was 0.893, and the Cronbach's α coefficient of each dimension was 0.756-0.864. The test-retest reliability of section A was 0.954, and the test-retest reliability of each dimension was 0.779-0.887. Section B included 6 items, which were used to measure the satisfaction of pulmonary rehabilitation courses in COPD patients. However there were big individual differences, so the reliability and validity test of section B were not evaluated.Conclusions:Section A of the Chinese version of UCOPD questionnaire has good reliability and validity. It can be used to evaluate self management ability of patients with good knowledge of COPD but less confidence in symptom control and health maintenance, so as to guide clinical medical staff to formulate accurate intervention measures to improve patients' self management.

Objective:To explore effects of different flow rates and temperature settings of high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy (HFNC) on patients with mild to moderate community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) accompanied by type I respiratory failure.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 92 patients with mild to moderate CAP accompanied by type I respiratory failure who were admitted and received HFNC in the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine in a Class Ⅲ Grade A hospital in Tianjin were selected as the research objects from December 2019 to December 2020. They were randomly divided into 4 groups, including low temperature and low flow rate group (31 ℃, 30 L/min) , low temperature and high flow rate group (31℃, 50 L/min) , high temperature and low flow rate group (34℃, 30 L/min) , high temperature and high flow rate group (34 ℃, 50 L/min) , with 23 cases in every group. Two-factor factorial analysis of variance was used to compare effects of different flow rates and temperature settings of HFNC on the comfort, oxygenation index, respiratory rate and heart rate of patients with mild to moderate CAP.Results:The comfort level of patients in the low flow rate group (30 L/min) was higher than that of the high flow rate group (50 L/min) , and the comfort level of patients in the low temperature group (31 ℃) was higher than that of the high temperature group (34 ℃) . The differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01) . The oxygenation index of patients in the high flow rate group (50 L/min) was higher than that of the low flow rate group (30 L/min) , and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01) . Different flow rates and temperatures of HFNC have no interaction effect on the comfort, oxygenation index and heart rate of patients ( P>0.05) , but they have an interaction effects on respiratory rate ( P<0.01) . Individual effect analysis showed that the respiratory rate of patients in the low temperature and high flow rate group (31 ℃, 50 L/min) was lower than that of the high temperature and high flow rate group (34 ℃, 50 L/min) and the low temperature and low flow rate group (31 ℃, 30 L/min) , and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:For patients with mild to moderate CAP accompanied by type I respiratory failure, the application of HFNC should start with low temperature and low flow rate parameter settings. Under the condition of ensuring the patient's comfort, the overall effect of flow rate and temperature is integrated and the inhalation flow rate of HFNC is appropriately increased, which can increase the clinical effect of high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy.

Currently, the epidemic of 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is still ongoing. The characteristics including high contagiousness, herd susceptibility and clinical phenotype diversity, made a serious influence on people’s daily life and rountine therapy for other diseases. Breast dieases are clinical common diseases. In the central epidemic area of COVID-19, Hubei province, especially Wuhan, the clinical specialists of breast diseases should consider all of the following factors comprehensively: the prevention of COVID-19, the diagnosis and treatment of breast diseases and the accessibility of medical resources. Besides, we should select the appropriate therapy and optimize treatment process so as to prevent the propagation and cross infection of COVID-19 as well as manage the breast diseases without delay. Therefore, we carried out some management proposals of the patients with breast diseases in the central epidemic area during the epidemic of COVID-19 on the basis of conventional treatment guidelines and clinical experiences. The suggestions and corrections from colleagues will be welcomed.

Objective:To explore the relationships between medical coping modes of patients with COVID-19 and general information and social supports.Methods:From January 28 to February 20, 2020, a total of 128 patients in a designated hospital in Wuhan with novel coronavirus pneumonia were investigated using the General Information Questionnaire and the Chinese version of the Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ) by convenient sampling. Pearson univariate analysis and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the relationship between the basic situation of patients with novel coronavirus pneumonia and coping modes.Results:The scores of the face dimension and avoidance dimension of patients with COVID-19 were lower than the norm model, while the yield dimension was higher than the norm model, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Support utilization and complexity were influencing factors of the face dimension ( P<0.05) . Support utilization and age were influencing factors of the yielding dimension ( P<0.01) . Subjective support, the complexity dimension of disease uncertainty and the number of confirmed patients in the family were influencing factors of the avoidance dimension ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:Patients with COVID-19 have poor medical coping modes, and they are prone to face the disease with a negative attitude. Patients are unwilling to face the disease and the tendency to yield to the disease is greater. And the older the patients, the less likely they are to succumb to the disease. The more patients diagnosed in the family, the less likely they are to avoid the disease. Patients with higher social supports and utilization have a more reasonable medical coping mode. This reminds medical staff to pay more attention to the psychological problems of patients in coping with COVID-19 and improve their coping modes and methods.
