		                        			The use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) has been an important advance in the systemic treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma, but their sustained anti-angiogenic therapy leads to increased tumor hypoxia, accelerates the development of a hypoxic microenvironment and promotes the expressions of hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF), thereby inducing drug resistance of tumor patients to TKI. This paper summarizes the mechanism of action of HIF mediating TKI resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma in aspects of metabolic reprogramming, abnormal expressions of cancer and cancer-associated genes, and ferroptosis, and sorts resistance response strategies to provide reference for clinical solutions to TKI resistance issues. As results show, HIF/ glycolysis axis inhibitors (isoflavonoid genistein, simvastatin, etc.) can improve TKI resistance based on metabolic reprogramming mechanism; oncogene-targeted inhibitors combined with TKI (the combination of capsaicin and sorafenib) can improve TKI resistance based on abnormal expression of cancer and cancer-related genes; fatty acid synthase inhibitor (orlistat) can improve TKI resistance based on ferroptosis mechanism.

		                        			Orthodontic treatment mainly improves oral function and achieves treatment goals by applying mechanical force to the jaw-bone and teeth.However,oral pain is the most common symptom experienced by patients during the diagnosis and treatment process.It is usually caused by sustained application of orthodontic mechanical force,but its mechanism is not fully understood,posing a signifi-cant clinical challenge.In recent years,a protein called TACAN has been discovered to play a crucial regulatory role in the occurrence and development of pain,offering a potential therapeutic target for addressing mechanical pain in the future.Since research on TACAN is still unclear,its specific mechanism requires further elucidation and verification.This article systematically reviews the research pro-gress of TACAN's involvement in the modulation of mechanical pain,summarizes the specific functions of TACAN,and provides new perspectives for further research on TACAN.

		                        			【Objective】 To evaluate the dietary quality with the dietary balance index (DBI_16) and the association between dietary quality and bone mass among middle-aged and elderly people in Gansu Province so as to provide evidence for improving dietary quality and bone health status of Gansu population. 【Methods】 Based on the information of the type and quantity of food intake and the bone mass of middle-aged and elderly people aged 35 years and above collected by the Gansu Project in the Regional Ethnic Cohort Study in Northwest China, DBI_16 was used to evaluate the intake level of cereals, vegetables, fruits, milk, beans, fish and shrimp, eggs and other foods, and the degree of inadequate, excessive and unbalanced dietary intake of the participants. Multiple linear regression was used to evaluate the associations of three component indexes of DBI_16, high bound score (DBI_HBS), low bound score (DBI_LBS), diet quality distance (DBI_DQD), and seven single indexes of DBI_16 with bone mass. 【Results】 Analyses of the dietary and bone mass data of 11,840 participants showed that 44.8% of participants consumed excessive amounts of cereals compared to the dietary recommendation. 96.3%, 90.6%, 90.1%, 71.9%, 95.1% and 60.3% of participants’ intake of vegetables, fruits, milk, soybeans, fish and shrimp, and eggs, respectively, were inadequate. 47.7% participants consumed less than 10 types of food. 2.3% participants’ DBI_LBS levels were appropriate. 54.7% participants’ DBI_HBS levels were appropriate. Only 1.2% participants’ DBI_DQD reached a balanced level. The bone mass level in the study population was (2.5±0.6) kg [(2.8±0.5) kg for men and (2.3±0.5) kg for women]. After adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle, total dietary energy intake and body mass index, DBI_LBS and DBI_DQD were negatively associated with bone mass [β and 95% CI was -0.002 01 (-0.003 62--0.000 40) and -0.001 76 (-0.003 09--0.000 43), respectively]. 【Conclusion】 Dietary intake imbalance is common among middle-aged and elderly people in Gansu Province, and the more severe the dietary intake imbalance, the lower the bone mass level.

		                        			Mechanical ventilation is an important supportive treatment for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, improper mechanical ventilation can cause a "second hit" to the lung, that is, ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), characterized by translocation of pulmonary inflammatory mediators into the bloodstream, aggravating systemic inflammatory response syndrome, and multiple organ failure. Although the current protective mechanical ventilation strategy plays an important role in supporting treatment, the mortality of ARDS with mechanical ventilation is still very high. Therefore, to explore the strategy of pulmonary protective ventilation has always been the key orientation of ARDS and has important clinical significance. This article reviews the application, advantages and disadvantages of assisted and non-assisted spontaneous respiration in ARDS patients undergoing mechanical ventilation, in order to provide a reference for research and development of new strategies for ARDS protective ventilation.

		                        			Objective To investigate the natural evolution of postoperative distal adding-on in Lenke 1A and 2A adoles-cent idiopathic scoliosis(AIS)patients,and to explore the risk factors for the progression of distal adding-on.Methods From Ju-ly 2006 to July 2012,a total of 197 AIS patients with Lenke 1A or 2A curves underwent posterior selective thoracic instrumenta-tion and fusion surgery.Among which,44 patients(22.3%)with postoperative distal adding-on were recruited in this study.There were 39 female and 5 male,with an average age of(15.0±2.1)years.The mean Cobb angle of main thoracic curve was 49.3°±9.3°. The first postoperative radiograph indicating distal adding-on and the last follow-up radiograph were compared:make the measure-ment of the disc angle below lowest instrumented vertebra(LIV),and the distance between the vertebra below LIV(LIV+1)and cen-tral sacral vertical line(CSVL).Distal adding-on could be classified into progressive group and non-progressive group according to its natural evolution during follow-up.If the disc angle increased> 5°or the LIV+1-CSVL distance increased>5 mm,the pa-tients were assigned into progressive group; Otherwise, the patients were assigned into non-progressive group. Using Student T test, χ2test or Fisher exact test, the predicted risk factors for progression were screened for further Logistic regression. Results Among the 44 patients enrolled in the study,17 patients(38.6%)had progressive adding-on while 27 patients(61.4%)had non-progressive adding-on.The Risser sign was significantly lower in progressive group than non-progressive group(t=4.399,P<0.001). Besides,more patients had LIV proximal to substantially stable vertebra(SSV)in progressive group than non-progressive group (Fisher exact test value=18.142,P<0.001).The improvement of shoulder imbalance was significantly better in progressive group than non-progressive group(t=3.011, P=0.002). According to Logistic regression, the low Risser sign and LIV proximal to SSV were independent risk factors for progression of distal adding-on.Moreover,the self-image domain of SRS-22 Scores was remark-ably lower in progressive group than non-progressive group(t=2.321,P=0.014).Conclusion Distal adding-on could be classi-fied into progressive group(40%)and non-progressive group(60%)according to its natural evolution.The risk factor for its progres-sion included skeletal immaturity and LIV proximal to SSV.Moreover,the progression of distal adding-on might compensate for the shoulder imbalance during follow-up.

		                        			Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most aggressive cancers in China, but the underlying molecular mechanism of ESCC is still unclear. Involvement of micro-RNAs has been demonstrated in cancer initiation and progression. Despite the reported function of miR-503 in several human cancers, its detailed anti-oncogenic role and clinical significance in ESCC remain undefined. In this study, we examined miR-503 expression by qPCR and found the downregulation of miR-503 expression in ESCC tissue relative to adjacent normal tissues. Fur-ther investigation in the effect of miR-503 on ESCC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion showed that enhanced expression of miR-503 inhibited ESCC aggressive phenotype and overexpres-sion of CCND1 reversed the effect of miR-503-mediated ESCC cell aggressive phenotype. Our study further identified CCND1 as the target gene of miR-503. Thus, miR-503 functions as a tumor suppressor and has an important role in ESCC by targeting CCND1.
