Due to the complexity of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） interventions and the diversity of herbal components， single-omics technologies such as genomics， transcriptomics， proteomics， and metabolomics often cannot comprehensively elucidate the scientific connotations of TCM. Multi-omics technologies driven by system biology can analyze the theoretical connotations and application mechanisms of TCM from different levels such as genes， gene expression， proteins， and metabolites， in line with the holistic view of TCM， which helps to promote the modernization of TCM. By reviewing the literature on the application of omics technologies in the field of TCM， it is found that multi-omics technologies have been widely used in TCM for syndrome differentiation， evaluation of herbal quality， elucidation of pharmacological mechanisms， and drug toxicity assessment， providing comprehensive explanations of the mechanisms of action of TCM and overcoming the limitations of single-omics technologies， and having obtained significant achievements. However， multi-omics technologies also face challenges such as high cost， difficulties in data analysis due to large data volumes， and insufficient translation of research results. In the future， it is expected that through strengthening interdisciplinary cooperation， conducting long-term and dynamic clinical research， standardizing and normalizing data analysis processes， adopting appropriate and reasonable multi-omics integration patterns， establishing multi-omics databases for TCM， revealing the individualized characteristics， therapeutic mechanisms， and disease regulatory networks of TCM， the modernization of TCM will be promoted.

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.

Objective To explore the application and clinical effect of blood bridge venous flap in finger wound with proper palmar digital artery defect. Methods From February,2007 to September,2016,11 cases of fin-ger wound with artery defect were repaired with forearm vein free flap by the way of bridging blood vessels. The time from injury to surgery was 1.5 to 6 hours(average 2.5 hours).Vascular defect length was 1.4 to 3.4 cm(average 2.3 cm). 8 cases were bridged the unilateral digital artery and 3 cases were bridged the both side. The area of skin flap was 1.5 cm × 2.0 cm to 2.2 cm × 3.5 cm and the donor site was sutured directly. Results One case appeared necrosis in marginal part and healed after dressing change. The other flaps and finger survived and the incisions healed well.All the 11 cases were followed up after operation. The follow-up time ranged from 6 to 20 months, aver-aged 10 months. The color and texture were well,the sensation of temperature, pain and tactile were recovered, and the flap had good contour. According to TAM system evaluation method: 6 cases got excellent results,4 cases were good,1 case was poor. The donor site only had a linear scar and the flexion and extension of wrist were not limited. Conclusion Flow bridging venous flap can reconstruct the finger blood and repair the wound simultaneously. To the finger with nerve or tendon defect,bridged with the cutaneous nerve or palmaris longus tendon can also get satisfactory result.

BACKGROUND:To reduce the amount of bleeding and the amount of hemoglobin after total knee replacement has been a key project in the clinical research in the division of bone and joint. Currently, ice therapy has been widely used in the clinic for tissue sweling and pain due to various physical and chemical factors. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the risk factors of postoperative hemoglobin after total knee replacement and discuss the effects of ice intervention. METHODS: 240 patients with osteoarthritis based on the random draw principles were equaly divided into the treatment group and the control group. The general information, disease status, diagnosis and treatment and prognosis of the two groups were investigated. Al patients were actively subjected to artificial total knee replacement. On the basis of the treatment in the control group, the treatment group received ice intervention at 2 hours after replacement for 7 consecutive days. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The postoperative hemoglobin decrease occurred in 34 patients, with the incidence of 14.2% among 240 patients at 7 days after replacement. Multivariate logistic regression analysis results showed that age, no ice treatment, body mass index were the main risk factors for hemoglobin decrease after total knee replacement (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the postoperative hemoglobin values of the treatment group were significantly higher (P < 0.05). Hemoglobin decrease values, total blood loss, blood transfusion rate, blood transfusion amount, and pain score at 3 and 7 days after replacement were significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). The knee function excelent and good rate was 96.7% in the treatment group, and 95.8% in the control group, which showed no significant difference (P > 0.05). Results verify that clinical application of total knee replacement facilitated the knee recovery in patients with osteoarthritis, but hemoglobin decrease and bleeding existed. Active ice intervention can reduce the risk and relieve postoperative pain.

Objective:To investigate the influence of water tank on endotoxin(ET)content in hemodialysis fluid.Methods:Specimens of hemodialysis fluid were collected from 36 hemodialysis centers in Shanghai from Nov 2010 to Oct 2012,and the ET content in hemodialysis fluid were detected by chromogenic substrate method.Results:A total of 2694 samples have been obtained from 36 hemodialysis centers during the 2 years’period.The contents of ET below 0.1 EU/mL were detected in 2348 (87.16%)samples,between 0.1 EU/mL and 0.5 EU/mL in 260(9.65%)samples,and above 0.5 EU/mL in 86(3.19%) samples.Water tanks were used in 19 of the 36 hemodialysis centers.ET contents of hemodialysis fluid in the hemodialysis cen-ters which used water tanks were higher than those didn’t use water tanks,and the difference showed statistical significance (P <0.05).Conclusion:The usage of water tank could significantly increase the ET content in hemodialysis fluid.Monitoring of water storage equipment should be strengthened.

Objective Biodegradable polycaprolactone (PCL)/poly D,L-lactic/glycolic acid (PLGA) scaffold is a promising modality for diffuse coronary atherosclerosis diseases unavailable to bypass graft.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term performance of PCL/PLGA scaffold in vivo following polymer degradation.Methods Two scaffolds with and without heparin modification [Heparinized Scaffold (HS) and Blank Scaffold (BS)] were implanted.Except for control group,bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were also transplanted around the scaffold.Animals were grouped into control BS group,BS-MSCs group and HS-MSCs group (each n =6) and survived 6 months.Patency and integrity of scaffold were evaluated by echocardiography and 3D-DOCTOR software.Endothelium coverage of the lumen was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy.Neovessles and collagen fiber within the scaffold were identified by histological staining.Prostacyclin (PGI2) and thromboxane (TXA2) production in the plasma were measured by ELISA.The expression of cyclooxygenase (COX-1,COX-2) and prostacyclin synthase PGIS was detected by Western blot.Results The heparinized scaffold kept patent up to 6 months and the lumen was covered by confluent endothelial cells.Histological staining revealed remodeling of collagen fiber and reconstruction of neovascular network immediately around the lumen.PGI2 production and PGIS expression in BSMSCs group and HS-MSCs group significantly increased compared with BS group (P ＜ 0.05 and P ＜ 0.01,respectively).Nonetheless,TXA2 production and COX-1 expression in BS-MSCs group was more pronounced than HS-MSCs group (P ＜ 0.01),showing no difference between BS-MSCs and BS group (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Despite polymer degradation and entire heparin release,the scaffold could continuously keep the structual integrity and lumen patency until 6 months by reinforcement of host collagen fiber and PGI2 expression.

Objective To assess the risk factors of intradialytic-hypotension (IDH) among maintaining hemodialysis (MHD) patients and to explore the relation between NT-proBNP and IDH,thus to provide clinical evidence for the prevention and treatment of IDH.Methods A total of 202 MHD patients during March 2009 to May 2009 in our dialysis center were enrolled in the study.Intradialytic blood pressure (BP) was measured during a 3-month period.IDH was defined as an event characterized by a sudden drop in systolic BP more than 20 mm Hg or in mean artery pressure (MAP) more than l0 mm Hg.Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the risk factors of IDH.ROC curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of serum NT-proBNP.Results The incidence of IDH was 42.1％.One hundred and seventeen patients with no-IDH (＜1/10 hypotensive events per 3 months) were served as controls.Fifty-five patients with o-IDH (≥ 1/ 10 but ≤1/3 hypotensive events per 3 months) and 30 patients with f-IDH (＞1/3 hypotensive events per 3 months) were identified among 202 patients.Multivariate regression analysis showed that age,gender,ultrafiltration rate,serum NT-proBNP,serum albumin,aortic root dimension (AoRD) were associated with IDH among MHD patients.Serum NT-proBNP was positively correlated with IDH.The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of NT-proBNP was 0.76 (95％ CI 0.69 to 0.83,P＜0.01).The cut-off value of serum NT-proBNP for IDH was 1746.5 ng/L,with a sensitivity of 88.61％ and a specificity of 51.10％.Furthermore,the AUC of NT-proBNP for f-IDH was 0.65 (95％ CI 0.53 to 0.763,P＜0.01).The cut-off value of serum NT-proBNP for f-IDH was 8208.0 ng/L,with a sensitivity of 33.33％ and a specificity of 91.30％.Conclusions Elderly,female,high ultrafiltration rate,high level of serum NT-proBNP,hypoalbuminemia,shorter AoRD are independent risk factors of IDH among MHD patients.Serum NT-proBNP can be used as a predictor of IDH.

Objective To examine the association between residual renal function at initiation of dialysis and prognosis in maintenance dialysis patients.Methods Incident patients with end-stage renal diseases initiating dialysis between 1 January 2005 and 30 September 2009,followed up to 31 March 2010 were enrolled in this study.Residual renal function was evaluated using eGFR estimated by the abbreviated MDRD equation.Patients were classified into four groups according to eGFR of ≥10.5,8 to ＜10.5,6 to ＜8,＜6 ml·min-1·(1.73 m2)-1.The outcome was all-cause and cardiocerebral vascular mortality.Results (1) A total of 562 patients were included.The median eGFR at initiation of dialysis was 5.60 (2.26-12.62) ml·min-1·(1.73 m2)-1.The median follow-up time was 17 (0-58) months from initiation of dialysis and 141 patients died within this period.The median survival time was 45.48 (43.05-47.90) months.With eGFR declined,Scr,BUN,serum uric acid,serum prealbumin,phosphorus,calcium and phosphate product,iPTH,mean arterial pressure (MAP) at initiation of dialysis increased (P＜0.05),and hemoglobin,proportion of male,proportion of diabetes comorbidity,proportion of the Charlson comorbidity index ≥5 decreased (P＜0.05).Though there was no significant difference among the four groups,the proportion of left ventricular hypertrophy comorbidity increased when eGFR declined.(2) There was no significant difference of all-cause mortality among four groups using Kaplan-Meire survival curve.Cox regression model indicated no significant difference of all-cause mortality in levels of eGFR (HR=1.012,95％CI 0.961-1.065,P=0.654).Without patients died in the first 3 months,the multivariate Cox regression model indicated eGFR at initiation of dialysis was the protective factor to 1 year survival (HR=0.791,95％CI 0.669-0.935,P＜0.01).(3) The multivariate Cox regression model indicated the risk of overall and 1 year cardiocerebral vascular death decreased with eGFR at initiation of dialysis increased (HR=0.868,95％CI 0.777-0.971,P＜0.05; HR=0.937,95％CI 0.851-0.992,P＜0.05,respectively).(4) The multivariate Cox regression model indicated eGFR at initiation of dialysis was benefit to survival of patients treated by peritoneal dialysis,with all-cause death risk decreased by 10％ when eGFR increased by 1 ml·min-1·(1.73 m2)-1 (HR=0.90,95％CI 0.81-0.99,P＜0.05).In hemodialysis patients,Kaplan-Meire survival curve was significantly different among the four groups (Log-rank test,P=0.047); the survival of the group of 8 to ＜10.5 ml·min-1·(1.73 m2)-1 was lower as compared to the groups of 6 to ＜8 (Log-rank test,P=0.033) and ＜6 ml·min-1(1.73 m2)-1 (Log-rank test,P=0.005); but the multivariate Cox regression model indicated no relationship between survival and eGFR.In the subgroup of chronic glomerulonephritis as primary renal disease,the eGFR at initiation of dialysis was the benefit factor,with all-cause death risk decreased by 16.6％ (HR=0.834,95％CI 0.736-0.946,P＜0.01) and cardiocerebral vascular death risk decreased by 18.2％ (HR=0.818,95％CI 0.669-0.999,P＜0.05) when eGFR increased by 1 ml ·min-1 ·(1.73 m2)-1.In the subgroup of chronic glomerulonephritis treated by peritoneal dialysis,the all-cause death risk decreased by 32.1％ with eGFR increased by 1 ml·min 1·(1.73 m2)-1 (HR=0.679,95％CI 0.535-0.862,P＜0.01).Conclusions Early initiation of dialysis may not be associated with improved overall survival,but may reduce cardiocerebral vascular and 1 year all-cause mortality,improve the survival of chronic glomerulonephritis patients and peritoneal dialysis patients.
