Objective To study the possibility of using cone-beam computed tomography(CBCT)with CTAn software to analyze bone resistance during mandibular third molar extraction surgery.Methods Fifty-three patients who underwent CBCT scans for third molars at the Department of Stomatology from January 1st 2021 to July 31th 2023 were induded,involving a total of 91 mandibular third mo-lars.CTAn software was used to analyze the buccal and lingual bone volume regions around mandibular third molars in CBCT images,assessing three-dimensional bone microstructural parameters.Results Significant differences(P＜0.05)in tissue volume,trabecular bone volume/tissue volume,bone surface/trabecular bone volume,bone surface/tissue volume,and bone mineral density between the buccal and lingual bone volume areas were observed in both the total sample and in stratified analyses based on themesially inclined/verticalmandibular third molar impactionand gender.In high/mid-level mesially inclined and vertical impactions,females showed more significant differences in microstructural parameters of the buccal and lingual bone volume compared to males.Conclusion The inte-gration of CBCT with CTAn software offers a viable method for assessing bone resistance during mandibular third molar extractions.Lin-gual bone exhibits greater bone tissue content,denser trabeculae with smaller tissue volume compared to buccal bone.During mandibu-lar third molar extraction,compressing the buccal alveolar bone helps create trabecular compression space more easily.Additionally,the buccal alveolar bone is more amenable to grinding than the lingual side,thereby achieving a reasonable buccal dislocation of root.For female patients with high/mid-level mesially inclined and vertical impactions of the mandibular third molars,a buccal approach is more advisable to be followed.The evaluation of bone microstructural parameters and accurate determination of bone resistance offer valuable insights for the minimally invasive removal of impacted teeth.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of oxyntic gland adenoma(OGA)and gastric adenocarcinoma of the fundic gland type(GA-FG).Methods:Six cases of fundic gland-type tumors(three OGA and three GA-FG)diagnosed at the Fujian Cancer Hospital between August 2020 and February 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.The clinical data,endoscopic features,pathological charac-teristics,immunohistochemical results,treatment,and prognosis were analyzed.Results:Six patients with an average age of 57 years,in-cluding one male and five females,were mainly affected in the gastric fundus and body,with the superficial elevated type being the most common.The pathological features of gastric gland-type tumors are mostly located in the deep layer of the gastric mucosa,showing a dis-ordered glandular structure mainly composed of chief cell-type cells.There were three cases of OGA and three cases of GA-FG.Immunohis-tochemical results showed that pepsinogen 1 was positive in five cases,mucin 6(MUC6)in five cases,synaptophysin(Syn)in six cases,chro-mogranin(CgA)was negative in all cases,and Ki-67 was less than 10%.Conclusions:The incidences of OGA and GA-FG are low,and there is no obvious endoscopic specificity.Endoscopy physicians have an insufficient understanding,which can easily lead to misdiagnoses and missed diagnoses.Immunohistochemistry is helpful for the differential diagnosis,and endoscopic mucosal resection or stripping is the pre-ferred treatment option.

【Objective】 To track and evaluate the clinical diagnostic efficacy of an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). 【Methods】 Total antibody (TAb) specific to SARS-CoV-2 in blood donors were determined using ELISA reagent. TAb positive donors were followed up 1 month after blood donation. SARS-CoV-2 specific IgG, IgM and pseudotype lentivirus based neutralization test (ppNAT) were conducted for TAb positive blood donors and follow-up samples. ppNAT and IgG antibodies simultaneously positive in ppNAT positive samples and its follow-up samples was used as the standard for antibodies validation. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), accuracy and Youden index of SARS-CoV-2 TAb ELISA were analyzed. 【Results】 Among 16 016 blood donors from January 31 to April 28, 2020, 61 donors were diagnosed as TAb positive, 6 cases were positive for ppNAT, in which 2 were positive for both ppNAT and IgG; 4 of 46 TAb positive follow-up samples were positive for ppNAT, in which 2 were positive for IgG simultaneously. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, accuracy, Youden index, false positive rate and false negative rate of SARS-CoV-2 TAb reagent were 100.00%, 99.60%, 3.28%, 100.00%, 99.60%, 99.60%, 0.40% and 0.00%, respectively. 【Conclusion】 SARS-CoV-2 TAb ELISA has high sensitivity and good clinical diagnostic efficacy, but the false positive rate is relatively high in low-risk blood donors. Therefore, ppNAT, IgG and follow-up results should be fully considered in clinical in order to analyze the positive results and determine the infection status more accurately.

Objective:To investigate the effects of 3 treatment methods on serum cytokines in Kaschin-Beck disease (KBD) patients.Methods:In May 2015, according to "Diagnosis of Kaschin-Beck disease" (WS/T 207-2010), KBD patients with grade Ⅰ and above who lived in KBD areas of Guide, Xinghai and Banma counties of Qinghai Province for at least 25 years and aged 25 - 62 years old were selected as research subjects. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to different treatment methods. The first group ( n = 91) was treated with Celecoxib + Xiaohuoluo pill (concentrated pill), the second group ( n = 89) was treated with Celecoxib + bone-strengthening joint pill, and the third group ( n = 94) was treated with Celecoxib + anti-osteogenic tablet, and the overall treatment effects of 6 months after treatment of the 3 groups were compared and analyzed. The contents of serum nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) and hyaluronic acid (HA) in patients before and after treatment were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results:A total of 274 KBD patients were included, aged (47.24 ± 18.97) years old, including 132 males and 142 females. The treatment effective rates in the first, second and third groups were 80.22% (73/91), 77.53% (69/89) and 77.66% (73/94), respectively, and there was no significant difference between the three groups (χ 2 = 0.25, P > 0.05). Before and after the treatment, the serum NO contents of the 3 groups [(149.23 ± 20.61), (135.88 ± 29.63), (151.33 ± 22.15), (137.55 ± 31.51), (148.58 ± 24.36), (134.81 ± 28.53) μmol/L] were significantly different ( t = 2.678, 2.403, 3.195, P < 0.05), and there were no significant differences in TNF-α, IL-1β, and HA contents ( P > 0.05). Conclusion:Three treatment methods for treating KBD have achieved certain effects, all the 3 treatment methods have reduced serum NO content and have no significant effect on TNF-α, IL-1β and HA contents.

Objective To understand the current environmental selenium and T-2 toxin levels in the critically ill areas of Kaschin-Beck disease in Qinghai Province.Methods In three historical villages with serious diseases of Kaschin-Beck disease,Xia,Xiemalang and Yaoshidao were selected;at the same time,three villages from non-diseased areas were selected as control villages including Damitan,Gongba and Deang in 2018.Six villages were used as survey sites.Collected hair samples of children aged 6-12 years old,to measure the hair selenium content in Xinghai and Guide survey sites [children's selenium content reference value was (0.60 ± 0.03)mg/kg].Ten samples of self-produced grain were collected from each survey site,selenium content [wheat selenium content reference value was (0.053 ± 0.007) mg/kg] and T-2 toxin content in grain was detected in the six survey sites.Ten soil samples were collected from each survey sites.Soil selenium content was detected in the six survey sites [soil selenium content reference value was (0.24 ± 0.03) mg/kg].Results The selenium contents of children's hair in the diseased and non-diseased areas of Xinghai County,Guide County were (0.252 ± 0.071),(0.296 ± 0.087);(0.225 ± 0.032),(0.238 ± 0.040) mg/kg,respectively.The selenium contents of wheat in the diseased and nondiseased areas of the three counties were 0.000 19,0.003 66;0.000 15,0.004 16;0.016 78,0.016 94 mg/kg.The soil selenium contents in the diseased and non-diseased areas of the three counties were (0.095 ± 0.015),(0.114 ± 0.014);(0.082 ± 0.013),(0.083 ± 0.018);(0.080 ± 0.005),(0.060 ± 0.013) mg/kg.The T-2 toxin contents of wheat in the diseased and non-diseased areas of the three counties were (3.173 ± 0.762),(3.100 ± 0.473);(2.506 ± 0.430),(3.186 ± 0.451);(2.416 ± 0.619),(2.879 ± 0.456) μg/kg.Conclusions The content of hair selenium of children is close to the normal reference value in the area of Kaschin-Beck disease in Qinghai Province.The contents of soil selenium and the main grain selenium of the residents are low in the diseased village.A certain amount of T-2 toxin is detected in the main grain of residential households.

Objective: To explore deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurrence in patients after right heart catheterization and the effect of anticoagulant therapy. Methods: A total of 171 consecutive patients with electrophysiological study (EPS) and/or radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) in our hospital from 2015-01 to 2016-05 were enrolled. All patients had supra-ventricular tachycardia and completed a venous surgery, they were randomly divided into 2 groups: Anticoagulation group,n=87 and Non-anticoagulation group,n=84. Lower extremity vascular Doppler ultrasonography was performed at (24-48) h post-operation to compare the incidence of DVT between 2 groups. Results: There were 13/171 patients were excluded for not completing post-operative lower extremity vascular Doppler ultrasonography including 9 patients in Anticoagulation group and 4 in Non-anticoagulation group. 158 patients finished post-operative examination and follow-up study. Anticoagulation group had 7/78 (8.97%) patients suffered from DVT, Non-anticoagulation group had 41/80 (51.3%) patients suffered from DVT,P<0.001. Conclusion: The incidence of DVT was higher after right heart catheterization without anticoagulation; heparin treatment may reduce DVT occurrence in relevant patients.

From January,2011 to December,2013,103 cases were selected from patients whose residual roots and crowns were restored by porcelain fusedto metal crowns after post core crown restorations.Patients were fully in-formed and randomly divided into two groups,including 51 cases receiving the post core restoration with dental root canal nail,52 cases being repaired with glass fiber post core restoration.After 6 ~12 months of follow-up observa-tion,in the group having received post core restoration with the dental root canal nail,there were 2 cases of crown root fracture,4 cases of falling off,the success rate was 88.24% (45 /51).In the group of fiber post and core res-toration,there was 1 case of crown root fracture,1 case of falling off;the success rate was 96.15% (50 /52).The restoration of fiber post core and porcelain fused to metal crown is the best choice of restoration of residual crown and root,but the root canal nail of teeth with light cured resin core is more economical,simple,easy to operate, and suitable for basic use.

Objective To investigate the executive function features of different subtypes of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI). Methods Sixty-four subjects with subcortical ischaemic vascular disease (SIVD) presumed by medical history and neuroimaging (cranial MRI) were recruited. The clinical and neuropsychological features of the 4 groups were compared: cognitive normal control (n=25), simple executive impairment of VCI-ND (s-VCI-ND, n=16), multi-domain impairment of VCI-ND (m-VCI-ND, n=26) and vascular dementia (VaD) patients (n=22). All participants underwent neuropsychological tests covering global cognitive function, executive function, memory function, language function and visual spatial skills. The executive tests included 15 independent subtest reflect set shifting, inhibition of prepotent responses, working memory, concept formation and fluency. Results Tower of Hanoi, self ordered pointing test and paced auditory serial addition test were not suitable for identification of VCI-ND because their finish rates were less 50%. Performance of trail making test (216.5±69.3 vs 137.4±37.9), Stroop color words test (115.4±30.1 vs 72.9±17.5), California cards sorting test-Chinese version (1.9±1.4 vs 2.7±1.2)and animal category fluency test(14.2±2.3 vs 17.7±4.4) had significant difference between s-VCI-ND group and cognitive normal control group (t=4.73, 5.72, 2.04 and 3.53, all P<0.05) and these tests were applicable and sensitive assessment tools in all executive tests. Time-consuming index showed more sensitivity than correct index in executive function. Neuropsychological deficits of m-VCI-ND patients showed lower than that of s-VCI-ND group and better than that of VaD patients. It was likely that the m-VCI-ND was a transition state between normal aging and VaD. Conclusion Executive dysfunction of VCI caused by SIVD is short of specificity. Some tests may appear earlier in screening of VCI-ND.
