The biological clock(also known as the circadian rhythm)is the fundamental reliance for all organisms on Earth to adapt and survive in the Earth's rotation environment.Circadian rhythm is the most basic regulatory mechanism of life activities,and plays a key role in maintaining normal physiological and biochemical homeostasis,disease occurrence and treatment.Recent studies have shown that the biologi-cal clock plays an important role in the development of oral tissues and in the occurrence and treatment of oral diseases.Since there is cur-rently no guiding literature on the research methods of biological clock in stomatology,researchers mainly conduct research based on pub-lished references,which has led to controversy about the research methods of biological clock in stomatology,and there are many confusions about how to rationally apply the research methods of circadia rhythms.In view of this,this expert consensus summarizes the characteristics of the biological clock and analyzes the shortcomings of the current biological clock research in stomatology,and organizes relevant experts to summarize and recommend 10 principles as a reference for the rational implementation of the biological clock in stomatology research.

Aim To investigate the regulatory mecha-nism of arrhythmia of sodium channel ubiquitination af-ter MI and to study the electrophysiological remodeling mechanism of lncRNA-CCRR after MI for the preven-tion and treatment of arrhythmia after MI.Methods LncRNA-CCRR transgenic mice and C57BL/6 mice injected with lncRNA-CCRR overexpressed adeno-asso-ciated virus were used.Four weeks after infection,the left anterior descending branch of the coronary artery was ligated for 12 h to establish a mouse acute myocar-dial infarction model,and the incidence of arrhythmia was detected by programmed electrical stimulation.Ln-cRNA-CCRR overexpression/knockdown adeno-associ-ated virus and negative control were transfected into neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes(NMCMs),and the model was prepared by hypoxia for 12 h.LncRNA-CCRR expression was detected by FISH,Nav1.5 and UBA6 protein and Nav.1.5 mRNA expression were de-tected by Western blot and real-time quantitative poly-merase chain reaction(qRT-PCR),Nav1.5 and UBA6 expressions were detected by immunofluores-cence,and the relationship between lncRNA-CCRR and UBA6 was detected by RIP.INa current density af-ter CCRR overexpression and knockdown was detected by Whole-cell clamp patch.Results In MI mice,the expression of lncRNA-CCRR decreased,the incidence of arrhythmia increased,the expression of CCRR and Nav1.5 mRNA was down-regulated,the protein ex-pression of Nav1.5 was down-regulated,and the pro-tein expression of UBA6 was up-regulated compared with sham group.Overexpression of CCRR could re-verse the above changes.AAV-CCRR could reverse the down-regulated CCRR and Nav1.5 mRNA levels af-ter hypoxia,and improve the expression of Nav1.5 and UBA6 protein.The direct relationship between ln-cRNA-CCRR and UBA6 was identified by RIP analy-sis.The INa density increased after transfection with AAV-CCRR.The INa density decreased after transfec-tion with AAV-si-CCRR.Conclusions The expres-sion of lncRNA-CCRR decreases after MI,and ln-cRNA-CCRR can improve arrhythmia induced by MI by inhibiting UBA6 to increase the protein expression level of Nav1.5 and the density of INa.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Cell cycle analysis is essential for determining the cell proliferation state,studying cell func-tions,and evaluating drug effects.Flow cytometry is a commonly used method for cell cycle detection,with propidium iodide(PI)being the most widely used fluorescein.Nevertheless,various factors may af-fect the test results.Additionally,comparing distributions of immune cell subpopulations across different cell cycle stages can provide valuable insights into immunological responses and disease conditions.In this research,the B16-F10 cell line was used to study the impact of three factors on PI staining-based cell cycle detection:fixation settings,sample preparation conditions,and software analysis.To fix cells,it is suggested to suspend 3 × 106 cells in 300 μL of pre-cooled PBS,add 700 μL of 100％ethanol drop-wise,fix overnight at 4℃ or-20℃,and collect at a low flow rate(400-600 events/s)to ensure collec-tion of at least 3 000 singlets.Furthermore,dual-labeling with 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine(EdU)and PI can accurately distinguish cell cycle phases.And various immune cell subpopulations can be analyzed without cell sorting by combining surface marker staining with PI and Ki-67 staining.Here we review fac-tors affecting cell cycle identification using the PI staining method and provide a standard operating proto-col for the experiment.We established the method to combine EdU with PI for cell cycle detection and a-nalysis of immune cell subpopulations,thus expanding the approaches for cell cycle detection.

Objective:To investigate the relative expression level and clinical significance of LINC00475 in serum of patients with multiple myeloma(MM).Methods:The expression of LINC00475 in serum of 108 MM patients and five MM cell lines including RPMI 8226,NCI-H929,U266,OPM2 and CAG were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.The diagnostic value of LINC00475 in MM was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis.The correlation of LINC00475 with patients'characteristics was analyzed.Results:Compared with control groups,the expression of LINC00475 was up-regulated in serum of MM patients and MM cell lines(all P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the optimal cut-off value of LINC00475 was 262.4,the area under curve(AUC)was 0.924(95％CI:0.884-0.964),and sensitivity and specificity was 83.3％and 91.7％,respectively,which indicated that LINC00475 had good evaluation value in MM patients.Compared with low-LINC00475 expression group,patients in high-LINC00475 expression group had higher levels of β2-microglobulin(β2-MG)and Cystatin C(Cys-C)but lower albumin(ALB)(all P＜0.05).Compared with MM patients with International Staging System(ISS)stage I,the expression level of LINC00475 was significantly higher in patients with stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ(both P＜0.05).Conclusion:LINC00475 is helpful to distinguish MM patients from healthy adults,which is correlated with the prognostic indicators such as β2-MG,ALB,and ISS stage.

Inertial microfluidics,as a microfluidic technology with the ability to precisely manipulate particles and cells with high throughput,has attracted widespread attention.However,challenges remain in achieving particle focusing with insensitivity to flow rates in large-scale channels,mainly due to the instability of secondary flows within the inertial microfluidic chip.This study developed a microstructure-assisted ultra-low aspect ratio spiral microchannel,which utilized the stability and acceleration of secondary flows to achieve inertial particle focusing.The research results demonstrated successful particle focusing within a 1 mm-wide spiral channel chip,for different diameter sizes(7.3 μm and 15.5 μm),within a wide range of flow rates(0.5-3 mL/min).The focusing efficiencies for these particles were measured to be above 94%and 99%,respectively.Additionally,it was observed that the particle focusing position was approximately 100 μm away from the channel walls,significantly larger than other inertial focusing chips.Consequently,by incorporating ordered microstructures within the spiral channel chip,the stability and enhancement of secondary flows were achieved,resulting in flow rate and particle size-insensitive inertial focusing.Compared to traditional methods of inertial focusing,this design had advantages of not requiring additional sheath flow operations,and boasted high throughput and ease of manufacturing.This innovative structure opened up vast prospects for the development of portable inertial microfluidic chips,and could be used in the fields such as cell analysis and detection,flow cytometry,and online sample processing.

In black tea,theaflavins (TFs) are one important class of substances that determine sensory quality and have significant medicinal activities. In addition to the four kinds of common TFs,there may be many other theaflavin analogues (TFAs) with similar chemical structures in tea,but the study on them is very limited. Based on the characteristic sub-structure,mass spectrometry (MS) and MS/MS information,a method for screening and annotation of TFAs from the complex ultra high performance liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-HRMS) data was proposed in this work. By analyzing the oxidation and polymerization process of a few TFs,the theoretical reaction model of TFs were summarized,which was used to calculate the precursor ion values of potential TFAs. Meanwhile,the diagnostic fragmentation ions and neutral loss of TFAs according to the fragmentation pathways obtained from chemical standards or documented in literatures were summarized. As a result,36 kinds of compounds were successfully annotated based on the calculated precursor ion values and the MS fragmentation patterns,among which 6 kinds of compounds were reported for the first time in tea. In vitro synthesis experiments were carried out to verified the annotation results. Based on the results of quantitation of 36 kinds of TFAs,a partial least squares-discriminant analysis model was used to investigate the changes of these components during black tea manufacturing. The results indicated that these novel TFAs could be used to effectively distinguish the black tea samples before and after fermentation.
