In the field of dental aesthetics,digital aesthetic design plays a crucial role in helping dentists to predict treatment outcomes vis-ually,as well as in enhancing the consistency of knowledge and understanding of aesthetic goals between dentists and patients.It serves as the foundation for achieving ideal aesthetic effects.However,there is no clear standard for this digital process currently in China and abroad.Many dentists lack of systematic understanding of how to carry out digital aesthetic design for treatment.To establish standardized processes for dental aesthetic design and to improve the homogeneity of treatment outcomes,Chinese Society of Digital Dental Industry(CSD-DI)convened domestic experts in related field to compile this consensus.This article elaborates on the key aspects of digital aesthetic data collection,integration steps,and the digital aesthetic design process.It also formulates a decision tree for dental aesthetics at macro level and outlines corresponding workflows for various clinical scenarios,serving as a reference for clinicians.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of three-connections and four-screwings technique in the treatment of high double column acetabular fractures through a single ilioinguinal approach.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data of 42 patients who had been treated for high double column acetabular fractures from June 2017 to June 2020 at Trauma Ward 2, Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, The First Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Changde. There were 19 males and 23 females with an age of (42.7±25.6) years. 29 injuries were due to a traffic accident, 12 ones to fall from a height, and one to fall. The time from injury to operation was (4.5±2.1) days. All the patients were treated by the three-connections and four-screwings technique through a single ilioinguinal approach. Briefly, the anterior column was connected and secured to the main bone using 3 routes, and the posterior column was attached and fixated to the anterior column reset using 2 or 3 of the 4 screwings. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, fracture reduction quality, fracture healing time, hip function at the last follow-up and complications during the follow-up were recorded.Results:For this cohort, the operation time was (150.0±30.5) min, and intraoperative blood loss (300.0±50.0) mL. According to the Matta scale for postoperative acetabular fracture reduction, 34 cases were excellent, 6 cases good, and 2 cases acceptable, with an excellent and good rate of 95.2% (40/42). After operation one patient had fat liquefaction and wound exudation which responded to drainage and dressing change. The 42 patients were followed up for (15.0±3.4) months. All fractures healed after (11.0±2.0) months. By the modified Merle d'Aubigné & Postel scoring system, the hip function was evaluated at the last follow-up as excellent in 33 cases, as good in 6 cases, and as fair in 3 cases, yielding an excellent and good rate of 92.9% (39/42).Conclusions:In the treatment of high double column acetabular fractures, the three-connections and four-screwings technique through a single ilioinguinal approach can lead to fine reduction and rigid fixation by lag screw compression and neutralization plate protection. Consequently, early functional exercises can be performed to secure good therapeutic outcomes for the patients.

Aiming at the obstacle avoidance in simulated prosthetic vision,an improved instance segmentation model SOLOv2-RS is proposed for providing a basis for implant recipients to accurately perceive the relevant instance objects of navigation tasks in low-resolution prosthetic vision.According to the visual attention mechanism,the distance from the center of the visual field and the target scale are adopted as the importance calculation criteria for each instance,and the obtained importance score is used as the basis for the hierarchical representation of the obstacles to be avoided.Meanwhile,edge information is used to cue the tactile paving,and it is morphologically inflated for avoiding the edge information loss caused by the limited phosphene.The prosthetic vision simulation results demonstrate that the hierarchical optimization processing strategy for simulated prosthetic vision can effectively achieve the optimal representation of tactile paving and obstacles,thus facilitating the implant recipients to accomplish outdoor obstacle avoidance tasks more efficiently,and providing ideas for the research on the image processing of visual prosthetic devices.

With the development of digital technology， an increasing number of artificial intelligence （AI） technologies are being applied in the field of public health， significantly improving the efficiency of healthcare systems. However， such technological advancement also introduces a series of ethical risks. In this article， we conducted a systematic review by searching nine domestic and international databases and analyzing the ethical issues related to AI in public health， ultimately including 158 articles. Based on the analysis of the included literature， ethical risks were categorized into four aspects： data， algorithms， rights and responsibilities， and social impact. A total of 15 key issues were identified， among which privacy and confidentiality， informed consent， data security， and fairness， justice and inclusion emerged as the most prominent issues. The ethical challenges posed by AI in the field of public health cannot be ignored， and it is necessary to formulate ethical guidelines and practical recommendations for AI in this field， establish sound regulatory and review mechanisms， thereby ensuring the healthy development of AI research in public health.

OBJECTIVE To observe the short-term efficacy and safety of venetoclax combined with homoharringtonine and cytarabine in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia （AML）. METHODS The data of 40 newly diagnosed AML patients admitted to our hospital from October 2022 to November 2023 were retrospectively collected and divided into observation group and control group according to treatment plan， with 20 cases in each group. The patients in the control group were given Daunorubicin hydrochloride for injection+Cytarabine for injection， and the patients in the observation group were given Venetoclax tablets+ Homoharringtonine injection+Cytarabine for injection. The patients in both groups were given relevant medicine， with 28 days as one cycle. The short-term efficacy， negative rate of minimal residual disease （MRD）， duration of granulocyte deficiency， duration of platelet （PLT） ＜20×109 L－1， transfusion volume of suspended red blood cells and platelet， and the occurrence of adverse drug reactions were evaluated in both groups after 1 cycle of induction chemotherapy. RESULTS The complete remission or complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery （CR/CRi） rate in the observation group was significantly higher than control group （P＜0.05）， and the negative rate of MRD in the observation group was also significantly higher than control group （P＜0.05）. However， in low-， medium- and high-risk patients， there was no statistical significance in CR/CRi rates between the two groups （P＞0.05）. There were no significant differences in the duration of agranulocytosis， the duration of PLT ＜20×109 L－1， the amount of suspended red blood cell transfusion， the amount of platelet transfusion， the incidence of hematologic toxicity and the incidence of non-hematologic toxicity between 2 groups （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Venetoclax combined with homoharringtonine and cytarabine show good short-term efficacy and safety in the treatment of AML.

Background and objective Current studies suggest that for early-stage lung cancers with a component of ground-glass opacity measuring ≤2 cm,sublobar resection is suitable if it ensures adequate margins.However,lobectomy may be necessary for some cases to achieve this.The aim of this study was to explore the impact of size and depth on surgical techniques for wedge resection,segmentectomy,and lobectomy in early-stage lung cancer ≤2 cm,and to determine methods for ensuring a safe resection margin during sublobar resections.Methods Clinical data from 385 patients with early-stage lung can-cer ≤2 cm,who underwent lung resection in 2022,were subject to a retrospective analysis,covering three types of procedures:wedge resection,segmentectomy and lobectomy.The depth indicator as the OA value,which is the shortest distance from the inner edge of a pulmonary nodule to the opening of the corresponding bronchus,and the AB value,which is the distance from the inner edge of the nodule to the pleura,were measured.For cases undergoing lobectomy and segmentectomy,three-dimensional computed tomography bronchography and angiography(3D-CTBA)was performed to statistically determine the number of subsegments required for segmentectomy.The cutting margin width for wedge resection and segmentectomy was recorded,as well as the specific subsegments and their quantities removed during lung segmentectomy were documented.Results In wedge resection,segmentectomy,and lobectomy,the sizes of pulmonary nodules were(1.08±0.29)cm,(1.31±0.34)cm and(1.50±0.35)cm,respectively,while the depth of the nodules(OA values)was 6.05(5.26,6.85)cm,4.43(3.27,5.43)cm and 3.04(1.80,4.18)cm for each procedure,showing a progressive increasing trend(P＜0.001).The median resec-tion margin width obtained from segmentectomy was 2.50(1.50,3.00)cm,significantly greater than the 1.50(1.15,2.00)cm from wedge resection(P＜0.001).In wedge resections,cases where AB value＞2 cm demonstrated a higher proportion of cases with resection margins less than 2 cm compared to those with margins greater than 2 cm(29.03％vs 12.90％,P=0.019).When utilizing the size of the nodule as the criterion for resection margin,the instances with AB value＞2 cm continued to show a higher proportion in the ratio of margin distance to tumor size less than 1(37.50％vs 17.39％,P=0.009).The median number of subsegments for segmentectomy was three,whereas lobectomy cases requiring segmentectomy involved five subsegments(P＜0.001).Conclusion The selection of the surgical approach for lung resection is influenced by both the size and depth of pulmonary nodules.This study first confirms that larger portions of lung tissue must be removed for nodules that are deeper and larger to achieve a safe margin.A distance of ≤2 cm from the inner edge of the pulmonary nodule to the nearest pleura may be the ideal indication for performing wedge resection.

Zwitterionic sulfobetaine-based monolithic stationary phases have attracted increasing attention for their use in hydrophilic interaction chromatography.In this study,a novel hydrophilic polymeric monolith was fabricated through photo-initiated copolymerization of 3-(3-vinyl-1-imidazolio)-l-propanesulfonate(SBVI)with pentaerythritol triacrylate using methanol and tetrahydrofuran as the porogenic system.Notably,the duration for the preparation of this novel monolith was as little as 5 min,which was significantly shorter than that required for previously reported sulfobetaine-based monoliths prepared via conventional thermally initiated copolymerization.Moreover,these monoliths showed good morphology,permeability,porosity(62.4％),mechanical strength(over 15 MPa),column efficiency(51,230 plates/m),and reproducibility(relative standard deviations for all analytes were lower than 4.6％).Mechanistic studies indicated that strong hydrophilic and negative electrostatic interactions might be responsible for the retention of polar analytes on the zwitterionic SBVI-based monolith.In particular,the resulting monolith exhibited good anti-protein adhesion ability and low nonspecific protein adsorption.These excellent features seem to favor its application in bioanalysis.Therefore,the novel zwitterionic sulfobetaine-based monolith was successfully employed for the highly selective separation of small bioactive compounds and the efficient enrichment of N-glycopeptides from complex samples.In this study,we prepared a novel zwitterionic sulfobetaine-based monolith with good performance and developed a simpler and faster method for preparation of zwitterionic monoliths.

Objective:To explore the effects of sequential application of intensive pulsed light and carbon dioxide laser in treating the hypertrophic scars of burn children at early stage.Methods:A retrospective cohort before-after control study in the same patients was conducted. From January 2016 to December 2018, 145 burn children with hypertrophic scar at the early stage who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the First Hospital of Jilin University, including 82 males and 63 females, aged 1 to 12 (3 (2, 6)) years. All the children were firstly treated with intense pulsed light therapy (no anesthesia or intravenous-inhalation combined anesthesia) at an interval of once per month, and then changed to carbon dioxide laser therapy (topical anesthesia or intravenous-inhalation combined anesthesia) when the degree of scar hyperemia was reduced, at an interval of once every 3 months, for a total of 3 times. Before the first intense pulsed light treatment (hereinafter referred to as before the first treatment) and 3 months after the last carbon dioxide laser treatment (hereinafter referred to as after the last treatment), scar scoring was evaluated by Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS), and scar hyperemia (denoted as hemoglobin level) was measured with Antera 3D ? camera. The times of intense pulsed light, the time of single treatment, the anesthesia method, and the time of intravenous-inhalation combined anesthesia of intense pulsed light and carbon dioxide laser treatment were analyzed. After the last treatment, Likert Scale was used to evaluate the efficacy satisfaction of both doctors and patients. Adverse reactions were recorded during the treatment. Data were statistically analyzed with Wilcoxon signed rank sum test, and paired sample t test. Results:The color, vascular distribution, thickness, and softness scores, and total score in VSS scoring of scars of children after the last treatment were significantly lower than those before the first treatment ( Z=-6.05, -10.34, -9.84, -9.28, -10.43, P<0.01). The hemoglobin level of scar of children after the last treatment was 1.86±0.24, significantly lower than 2.27±0.32 before the first treatment ( t=17.65, P<0.01). A total of 411 times of intense pulsed light therapy were performed, (2.8±0.6) times per person, and the single treatment time was 35 (20, 45) s. There were 392 times (95.38%) without anesthesia, and 19 times (4.62%) with intravenous-inhalation combined anesthesia with time of 6 (5, 8) min. The single treatment time of carbon dioxide laser therapy was 5 (3, 10) min. There were 364 times (83.68%) of topical anesthesia and 71 times (16.32%) of intravenous-inhalation combined anesthesia with time of 10 (8, 15) min. After the last treatment, the efficacy satisfaction scores of doctors and patients were (4.3±0.7) and (3.8±1.0) points, respectively. Blisters occurred in 5 cases after intense pulsed light treatment, which were healed naturally after drainage. One child developed local skin infection, skin redness and swelling accompanied by purulent exudate after carbon dioxide laser treatment, which was improved after skin disinfection and external use of mupirocin ointment. No inflammatory pigmentation, worsening of hyperplasia of scar, erythema, or other skin adverse reactions or anesthetics-related adverse reactions occurred in any child. Conclusions:Sequential application of intense pulsed light and carbon dioxide laser to treat the hypertrophic scars of burn children at early stage can obviously improve the appearance and texture of scar, with higher satisfaction of doctors and patients and fewer adverse reactions.

To explore the activity of the pmel core promoter of Bashang long-tail chickens, we constructed dual-luciferase expression vectors and transiently transfected into DF1 cells with Lipofectamine 2000. We measured the luciferase activity with the dual-luciferase detection kit. The 1 268 bp fragment in 5-flanking region of the pmel gene in Bashang long-tail chickens was cloned. The region from -1 200 bp to +68 bp included 2 CpG islands and multiple transcription factor binding sites. We constructed 9 expression vectors with different promoter regions and a mutant vector of the core promoter region of the pmel gene of Bashang long-tail chickens. The core promoter region from -840 bp to +68 bp was identified in the pmel gene. The region from -590 to -525 bp negatively regulated the pmel gene during the transcription process. The -840--590 bp and -525--266 bp regions were positive regulatory regions. The polymorphic sites (-456, -435, -410, -374 and -341) had a significant effect on the promoter activity of the pmel gene.
