BACKGROUND:The combination of platelet-rich fibrin and autogenous bone has achieved good results in the treatment of periodontal bone defects,but the study of the combination of the two in the treatment of severe alveolar bone defects is scarce. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of autologous bone transplantation plus platelet-rich fibrin on the repair of severe alveolar bone defects. METHODS:A total of 102 patients with severe alveolar bone defects in Hengshui People's Hospital from April 2022 to February 2023 were selected and divided into control and observation groups(n=51 per group)by random number table method.Guided tissue regeneration was performed in both groups.The bone defect was filled with autogenous bone in the control group,and the observation group underwent platelet-rich fibrin+autogenous bone filling for bone defects during the operation.The clinical efficacy,changes in tooth mobility,periodontal microecological environment(probing depth,clinical attachment loss,and bleeding index),height and density of alveolar bone,gingival crevicular fluid indicators(transforming growth factor-β,serine protease inhibitor,and matrix metalloproteinase-3)before and after surgery,as well as adverse reactions were observed between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Six months after operation,there was no significant difference in treatment efficacy rate between the two groups(P>0.05).At 3 and 6 months after surgery,the levels of tooth mobility,probing depth,clinical attachment loss,and bleeding index in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).At 6 months after surgery,the height of alveolar bone in the observation group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).At 3 and 6 months after surgery,the levels of transforming growth factor-β in gingival crevicular fluid in the observation group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).At 3 and 6 months after surgery,the levels of serine protease inhibitor and matrix metalloproteinase-3 in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The results suggest that using platelet-rich fibrin+autogenous bone filling in guided tissue regeneration treatment of patients with severe alveolar bone defects can improve the periodontal microenvironment,reduce gingival tissue inflammation,promote alveolar bone tissue regeneration and repair,and reduce tooth mobility.

Background Organic phosphate flame retardants are emerging environmental pollutants. While there have been multiple toxicities reported following organic phosphate flame retardants exposure, few studies focus on their potential developmental toxicities. It is necessary to elucidate these developmental toxicological effects and underlying mechanisms to improve risk assessments and better protect sensitive populations. Objective To evaluate potential developmental toxicities in early chicken embryos following exposure to triphenyl phosphate (TPhP) or cresyl diphenyl phosphate (CDP), to reveal TPhP and CDP’s capabilities to activate peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) in vivo in an established chicken embryo gene reporter system, and to investigate the roles of PPARγ in TPhP/CDP-induced developmental toxicities with lentivirus-mediated in vivo gene silencing. Methods Firstly, diverse doses of TPhP and CDP were injected into the air sacs of fertilized eggs to assess the development of chicken embryos after 6 d of incubation, and an optimal dose was chosen for subsequent experiments. Subsequently, the report gene system was employed to evaluate the intraembryonic activation of PPARγ by TPhP and CDP. Eventually, PPARγ was silenced using lentivirus, and the embryos were co-treated with TPhP and CDP to further disclose the roles of PPARγ in the observed developmental toxicity. Results Following developmental exposure to TPhP or CDP, significantly lower chicken embryo weights (normalized with egg weights) were observed in the 6 d embryos (10, 30 mg·kg−1 TPhP and 3, 10, 30 mg·kg−1 CDP), indicating that both chemicals have general developmental toxicities and CDP is more potent. Additionally, exposure to CDP also resulted in remarkably increased sagittal brain area (normalized to embryo weights) and decreased sagittal eye area (normalized to embryo weights) (P<0.05), suggesting that CDP has specific developmental neurotoxicity and ocular toxicity. The PPARγ reporter gene experiment results revealed that rosiglitazone (positive control), TPhP, and CDP all significantly activated PPARγ relative to control (P<0.05). The potency order was rosiglitazone > CDP > TPhP. The lentivirus microinjection successfully achieved in vivo silencing of PPARγ in developing chicken embryos, and the estimated silencing efficacy was approximately 55% according to the real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) results. The in vivo silencing of PPARγ effectively alleviated TPhP or CDP-induced decrease of embryo weights (P<0.05), as well as CDP-induced increase of brain areas and decrease of eye areas (P<0.05). Conclusions Both TPhP and CDP can induce general developmental toxicities in early chicken embryos, and CDP is more potent than TPhP. Meanwhile, CDP can induce specific enlarged brain area and decreased eye area. The observed toxicities are associated with in vivo activation of PPARγ.

Objective:To investigate whether 6-shogaol (6-SH) alleviates oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R)-induced neuronal autophagy and calcium overload by promoting the expression of microRNA-26a-5p (miR-26a-5p) and inhibiting death-associated protein kinase 1 (DAPK1), and to explore its potential mechanisms.Methods:Primary cultured logarithmic growth phase mouse hippocampal neurons HT22 cells were taken and cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to detect cell viability, searching for the optimal concentration of Na 2S 2O 4. HT22 cells were divided into blank control group (NC group), OGD/R group (sugar-free culture medium + 10 mmol/L Na 2S 2O 4 treatment for 1.5 hours followed by normal culture medium for 4 hours), 6-SH intervention group (cultured with 10 μmol/L 6-SH for 4 hours after OGD), negative control inhibitor pretreatment group (transfected with negative control inhibitor for 48 hours followed by OGD, then cultured with 6-SH for 4 hours), and miR-26a-5p inhibitor pretreatment group (transfected with miR-26a-5p inhibitor for 48 hours followed by OGD, then cultured with 6-SH for 4 hours). Cell viability of each group was detected by CCK-8 method; cell ultrastructure was observed under transmission electron microscopy; real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the gene expressions of DAPK1 and miR-26a-5p; molecular docking were used to verify the interaction between 6-SH and miR-26a-5p; dual-luciferase assay was used to verify the targeting relationship between DAPK1 and miR-26a-5p; flow cytometry was used to determine the levels of intracellular Ca 2+; Western blotting was used to detect the protein expressions of phosphorylated-glutamate receptor 2B (p-NMDAR2B) Ser1303, DAPK1, autophagy related protein Beclin1, light chain 3 (LC3), and p-DAPK1 Ser308; immunofluorescence was used to detect the expression of LC3 and Beclin1. Results:The results of the CCK-8 assay showed that the cell viability of the 6-SH intervention group was significantly increased compared to the OGD/R group, while the cell viability of the miR-26a-5p inhibitor pretreatment group was significantly decreased compared to the 6-SH intervention group. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the number of autophagosomes in the 6-SH intervention group was significantly reduced compared to the OGD/R group, while the number of autophagosomes in the miR-26a-5p inhibitor pretreatment group was significantly increased compared to the 6-SH intervention group. RT-qPCR results showed that compared with the OGD/R group, the expression of miR-26a-5p was significantly upregulated and the expression of DAPK1 mRNA was significantly downregulated in the 6-SH intervention group; compared with the 6-SH intervention group, the expression of miR-26a-5p was significantly downregulated and the expression of DAPK1 mRNA was significantly upregulated in the miR-26a-5p inhibitor pretreatment group. Molecular docking verified the interaction between 6-SH and miR-26a-5p. Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay showed that compared with the negative control group, mmu-miR-26a-5p significantly downregulated the luciferase expression of m-DAPK1-3UTR-WT, indicating a binding interaction between them. Flow cytometry results showed that compared with the OGD/R group, the level of intracellular Ca 2+ was significantly decreased in the 6-SH intervention group; compared with the 6-SH intervention group, the level of Ca 2+ was significantly increased in the miR-26a-5p inhibitor pretreatment group. Western blotting results showed that compared with the OGD/R group, the protein expressions of p-NMDAR2B Ser1303, DAPK1, Beclin1, and LC3 were significantly decreased in the 6-SH intervention group (p-NMDAR2B Ser1303/β-actin: 2.34±0.27 vs. 4.78±0.39, DAPK1/β-actin: 1.40±0.13 vs. 2.37±0.21, Beclin1/β-actin: 2.61±0.32 vs. 4.32±0.29, LC3/β-actin: 2.52±0.45 vs. 5.09±0.18, all P < 0.05), while the protein expression of p-DAPK1 Ser308 was significantly increased (p-DAPK1 Ser308/β-actin: 0.66±0.09 vs. 0.40±0.02, P < 0.05); compared with the 6-SH intervention group, the protein expressions of p-NMDAR2B Ser1303, DAPK1, Beclin1, and LC3 were significantly increased in the miR-26a-5p inhibitor pretreatment group (p-NMDAR2B Ser1303/β-actin: 4.08±0.14 vs. 2.34±0.27, DAPK1/β-actin: 1.96±0.15 vs. 1.40±0.13, Beclin1/β-actin: 3.92±0.31 vs. 2.61±0.32, LC3/β-actin: 4.33±0.33 vs. 2.52±0.45, all P < 0.05), while the expression of p-DAPK1 Ser308 protein was significantly decreased (p-DAPK1 Ser308/β-actin: 0.33±0.12 vs. 0.66±0.09, P < 0.05); immunofluorescence staining showed that compared with the OGD/R group, the fluorescence intensity of LC3 and Beclin1 was significantly decreased in the 6-SH intervention group; compared with the 6-SH intervention group, the fluorescence intensity of LC3 and Beclin1 was significantly increased in the miR-26a-5p inhibitor pretreatment group. Conclusion:6-SH can alleviate neuronal damage by regulating miR-26a-5p/DAPK1 to reduce autophagy and calcium overload in cells.

Objective:To explore the short-term clinical efficacy, safety and patients' prognostic influencing factors of CyberKnife for the treatment of brain metastases in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted. The clinical data of 58 NSCLC patients who received CyberKnife treatment for brain metastases at Jilin Cancer Hospital from July 2020 to January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. At 3 months after CyberKnife treatment for brain metastases, and the efficacy of radiotherapy was evaluated on the basis of changes of brain metastases detected by contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head. Overall survival (OS) and local recurrence-free survival (LRRFS) were analyzed in 58 patients by using the Kaplan-Meier method; the efficacy of cumulative brain metastasis volume for determining the survival of CyberKnife-treated NSCLC patients with brain metastases was analyzed by using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve with the survival status of patients during the follow-up period as the gold standard, and the optimal cut-off value of cumulative brain metastasis volume was obtained; the clinical factors affecting OS and LRRFS of CyberKnife-treated NSCLC patients with brain metastases were analyzed by univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models, and the adverse reactions associated with CyberKnife treatment were evaluated.Results:Among the 58 patients, 26 (44.8%) were male and 32 (55.2%) were female, with a median age [ M ( Q1, Q3)] of 64 years old (56 years old, 70 years old); there were 1-7 brain metastatic lesions in each patient, and there were 98 brain metastatic lesions in the 58 patients. There were 2 deaths (3.4%) within 3 months after CyberKnife treatment. At 3 months after treatment, there were 3 cases (5.4%) in complete remission, 36 cases (64.3%) in partial remission, 13 cases (23.2%) in stable disease, and 4 cases (7.1%) in disease progression in the remaining 56 patients. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve for determining the survival of CyberKnife-treated NSCLC patients with brain metastases based on the cumulative brain metastasis volume was 0.593 (95% CI: 0.423-0.763), and the optimal cut-off value of cumulative brain metastasis volume was 15 cm 3. Median follow-up time was 12.6 months (7.5 months, 17.9 months). The 6- and 12-month OS rates were 91.3% and 79.5%, respectively, and the 6- and 12-month LRRFS rates were 93.0% and 89.2%, respectively. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the Karnofsky functional status score (>70 points vs. ≤70 points, HR= 0.103, 95% CI: 0.019-0.545, P = 0.007), control of extracranial tumor (controlled vs. uncontrolled, HR = 0.145, 95% CI: 0.049-0.429, P < 0.001), cumulative brain metastasis volume (≤15 cm 3vs. >15 cm 3, HR = 0.105, 95% CI: 0.028-0.399, P = 0.001) were independent influencing factors for poor OS, and the control of extracranial tumor (controlled vs. uncontrolled, HR = 0.062, 95% CI: 0.006-0.616, P = 0.018), cumulative brain metastasis volume (≤15 cm 3vs. >15 cm 3, HR = 0.440, 95% CI: 0.007-0.292, P = 0.001), and target area total bioequivalent dose (BED) (≤60 Gy vs. >60 Gy, HR = 5.299, 95% CI: 1.020-27.530, P = 0.047) were independent influencing factors for poor LRRFS. Only grade 1-2 headache [53.5% (31/58)], nausea and vomiting [36.2% (21/58)] and other adverse reactions occurred after treatment, and no ≥grade 3 adverse reactions occurred. Conclusions:CyberKnife treatment for NSCLC brain metastases has high local control rate and short-term survival rate with mild adverse effects. Karnofsky functional status score, control of extracranial tumor and cumulative brain metastasis volume may affect OS of CyberKnife-treated NSCLC patients with brain metastases, and the control of extracranial tumor, cumulative brain metastasis volume and total BED may affect local recurrence.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate whether hydrogen-rich water exerts a protective effect against cellular injury by affecting the level of autophagy after oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) in a mouse hippocampal neuronal cell line (HT22 cells).
METHODS:
HT22 cells in logarithmic growth phase were cultured in vitro. Cell viability was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay to find the optimal concentration of Na2S2O4. HT22 cells were divided into control group (NC group), OGD/R group (sugar-free medium+10 mmol/L Na2S2O4 treated for 90 minutes and then changed to normal medium for 4 hours) and hydrogen-rich water treatment group (HW group, sugar-free medium+10 mmol/L Na2S2O4 treated for 90 minutes and then changed to medium containing hydrogen-rich water for 4 hours). The morphology of HT22 cells was observed by inverted microscopy; cell activity was detected by CCK-8 method; cell ultrastructure was observed by transmission electron microscopy; the expression of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) and Beclin-1 was detected by immunofluorescence; the protein expression of LC3II/I and Beclin-1, markers of cellular autophagy, was detected by Western blotting.
RESULTS:
Inverted microscopy showed that compared with the NC group, the OGD/R group had poor cell status, swollen cytosol, visible cell lysis fragments and significantly lower cell activity [(49.1±2.7)% vs. (100.0±9.7)%, P < 0.01]; compared with the OGD/R group, the HW group had improved cell status and remarkably higher cell activity [(63.3±1.8)% vs. (49.1±2.7)%, P < 0.01]. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the neuronal nuclear membrane of cells in the OGD/R group was lysed and a higher number of autophagic lysosomes were visible compared with the NC group; compared with the OGD/R group, the neuronal damage of cells in the HW group was reduced and the number of autophagic lysosomes was notably decreased. The results of immunofluorescence assay showed that the expressions of LC3 and Beclin-1 were outstandingly enhanced in the OGD/R group compared with the NC group, and the expressions of LC3 and Beclin-1 were markedly weakened in the HW group compared with the OGD/R group. Western blotting assay showed that the expressions were prominently higher in both LC3II/I and Beclin-1 in the OGD/R group compared with the NC group (LC3II/I: 1.44±0.05 vs. 0.37±0.03, Beclin-1/β-actin: 1.00±0.02 vs. 0.64±0.01, both P < 0.01); compared with the OGD/R group, the protein expression of both LC3II/I and Beclin-1 in the HW group cells were notably lower (LC3II/I: 0.54±0.02 vs. 1.44±0.05, Beclin-1/β-actin: 0.83±0.07 vs. 1.00±0.02, both P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS
Hydrogen-rich water has a significant protective effect on OGD/R-causing HT22 cell injury, and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of autophagy.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of image-guided with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) based on volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT)-flattening filter free (FFF) on the setup errors of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in patients with spinal metastatic tumors.Methods:The clinical data of 15 patients with spinal metastatic tumors who underwent SBRT in Jilin Cancer Hospital from August 2020 to January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The radiotherapy dose of bone metastasis was 32 Gy per 4 times and CBCT scanning was performed before and after radiotherapy. Every patient received radiotherapy 4 times; all 15 patients underwent SBRT 60 times in total and 120 CBCT volume images were finally obtained and analyzed. The systematic error (Σ) and random error (σ) were calculated at different correction threshold levels. The translational setup error and rotational setup error at the left-right (X axis), head-foot (Y axis) and front-back (Z axis) directions before and after radiotherapy were compared, which were expressed as Σ ± σ.Results:The pre-SBRT and post-SBRT translational setup errors were (0.14±0.27) cm and (0.07±0.19) cm, respectively ( P<0.001) in the X direction, (-0.05±0.33) cm and (0.00±0.19) cm, respectively ( P = 0.001) in the Y direction, (-0.13±0.19) cm and (-0.02±0.14) cm, respectively ( P = 0.012) in the Z direction. The pre-SBRT and post-SBRT rotational setup errors were (-0.31±0.76)° and (-0.09±0.34)°, respectively ( P < 0.001) in the X direction, (-0.13±0.88)° and (-0.07±0.36) °, respectively ( P < 0.001) in the Y direction, (0.10±0.51)° and (0.16±0.38)°, respectively ( P < 0.001) in the Z direction. Conclusions:CBCT correction could reduce Σ and σof the translational setup and rotational setup, increase the accuracy of SBRT based on VMAT-FFF for patients with spinal metastatic tumors.

Objective:To construct the pathological classification prediction model for malignant pulmonary pure ground-glass nodule (pGGN) patients based on CT imaging and to analyze the predictive efficacy.Methods:A total of 193 pulmonary pGGN patients with histopathological findings who underwent surgical treatment in 3201 Hospital from January 2018 to December 2022 were retrospectively included, with 217 lesions. All patiens were divided into invasive adenocarcinoma group (68 patients, 73 lesions) and non-invasive adenocarcinoma group (125 patients, 144 lesions) based on whether they were invasive adenocarcinoma; The clinical feature data and CT imaging parameters were compared between the two groups; Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of malignant lung pGGN diagnosed as invasive adenocarcinoma; A logistic prediction model for pathological classification of malignant lung pGGN was constructed to analyze its predictive efficacy using receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves.Results:The percentages of burr signs in invasive adenocarcinoma group and non-invasive adenocarcinoma group were 34.25% (25/73) and 5.56% (8/144), respectively; The proportion of internal vascular signs was 93.15% (68/73) and 18.75% (27/144), respectively; The air bronchial signs were 67.12% (49/73) and 12.50% (18/144), respectively, with statistically significant differences ( χ2=30.93, P<0.001; χ2=108.95, P<0.001; χ2=67.72, P<0.001). The maximum CT value of nodular plain scan in invasive adenocarcinoma group (-527.82±72.95) HU, was significantly higher than that in non-invasive adenocarcinoma group (-592.79±86.47) HU, with a statistically significant difference ( t=-5.50, P<0.001). The results of multivariate analysis showed that spicule sign ( OR=8.93, 95% CI: 1.99-39.97, P=0.004), air bronchial sign ( OR=8.16, 95% CI: 2.91-22.86, P<0.001), internal vascular sign ( OR=48.39, 95% CI: 14.81-158.07, P<0.001) and the maximum CT value of plain scan ( OR=1.01, 95% CI: 1.00-1.02, P=0.001) were independent factors for the diagnosis of malignant pulmonary pGGN as invasive adenocarcinoma. Using burr sign, air bronchogram sign, internal vascular sign, maximum CT value of plain scan, and logistic regression model P-value to predict the pathological classification of malignant lung pGGN, the optimal cutoff values were 0.50, 0.50, 0.50, -547.23 HU, 0.46, and the area under the curve was 0.64, 0.77, 0.87, 0.69 and 0.96, respectively. The sensitivity was 34.25%, 67.12%, 93.15%, 82.19% and 89.04%, and the specificity was 94.44%, 87.50%, 81.25%, 46.53% and 92.36%, respectively, with the Jordan index being 28.69%, 54.62%, 74.40%, 28.72% and 81.40%. Conclusion:Patients with malignant pulmonary pGGN who have concomitant spicule sign, air bronchial sign, internal vascular sign, and maximum CT value on plain scan have a higher risk of being diagnosed with invasive adenocarcinoma; The predictive model constructed based on spicule sign, air bronchial sign, internal vascular sign, and maximum CT value on plain scan has shown good predictive performance in assisting the differential diagnosis of malignant pulmonary pGGN pathological classification.
