Objective: To investigate the mechanism by which serum amyloid P component (SAP) alleviates periodontitis in mice, providing an experimental basis to establish SAP as a novel therapeutic agent for periodontitis. Methods: Ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional Animal Ethics Committee. Periodontitis models were established in wild-type (WT) mice and SAP-transgenic (SAP-Tg) mice, divided into four groups: WT control (WT group), WT periodontitis (WT+P group), SAP-Tg control (Tg group), and SAP-Tg periodontitis (Tg+P group). On day 7, the mice were euthanized, and periodontal tissues, teeth, and alveolar bone were collected. SAP protein expression was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Micro-CT and HE staining were used to measure alveolar bone resorption (distance from the cementoenamel junction to the alveolar bone crest). Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining was performed to assess osteoclast number, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) was employed to evaluate macrophage infiltration. The expression levels of inflammatory cytokines including interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were measured by qRT-PCR. Oral microorganism composition was analyzed using 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) gene sequencing. Additionally, macrophages from WT and SAP-Tg mice were isolated to establish an in vitro inflammation model, divided into WT+LPS and Tg+LPS groups. The expression of macrophage polarization-related genes including inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), CD86, CD163, and CD206) were assessed by qRT-PCR. After the induction of osteoclast differentiation, TRAP staining was performed. Results: ELISA results demonstrated that periodontal tissues from Tg+P group mice exhibited higher levels of SAP expression compared to the WT+P group. Micro-CT and HE staining analyses revealed that the Tg+P group showed reduced alveolar bone resorption, indicated by a shorter distance between the cementoenamel junction and alveolar bone crest, compared to the WT+P group. Furthermore, TRAP staining results indicated a decrease in osteoclast numbers in the Tg+P group compared to the WT+P group. IHC and qRT-PCR results indicated reduced macrophage infiltration and decreased expression of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in the Tg+P group. Oral microorganism sequencing showed no significant difference in periodontitis-associated pathogenic bacteria between WT+P and Tg+P groups. In vitro experiments demonstrated that compared to the WT+LPS group, the Tg+LPS group exhibited downregulated M1 macrophage markers (iNOS and CD86) and upregulated M2 macrophage markers (CD163 and CD206). TRAP staining confirmed fewer osteoclasts in the Tg+LPS group. Conclusion SAP overexpression effectively alleviates periodontitis severity in mice by inhibiting M1 macrophage polarization, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine expression, and suppressing osteoclast differentiation, thereby attenuating alveolar bone resorption.

Surgical operation is the main treatment of oral and maxillofacial tumors.Dysphagia is a common postoperative complication.Swal-lowing disorder can not only lead to mis-aspiration,malnutrition,aspiration pneumonia and other serious consequences,but also may cause psychological problems and social communication barriers,affecting the quality of life of the patients.At present,there is no systematic evalua-tion and rehabilitation management plan for the problem of swallowing disorder after oral and maxillofacial tumor surgery in China.Combining the characteristics of postoperative swallowing disorder in patients with oral and maxillofacial tumors,summarizing the clinical experience of ex-perts in the field of tumor and rehabilitation,reviewing and summarizing relevant literature at home and abroad,and through joint discussion and modification,a group of national experts reached this consensus including the core contents of the screening of swallowing disorders,the phased assessment of prognosis and complications,and the implementation plan of comprehensive management such as nutrition management,respiratory management,swallowing function recovery,psychology and nursing during rehabilitation treatment,in order to improve the evalua-tion and rehabilitation of swallowing disorder after oral and maxillofacial tumor surgery in clinic.

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.

Neck dissection(ND)is one of the main treatment methods for oral and maxillofacial malignancies.Although ND type is in con-stant improvement,but intraoperative peal-pull-push injury of the accessory nerve,muscle,muscle membrane,fascia and ligament induced shoulder syndrome(SS)is still a common postoperative complication,combined with the influence of radiochemotherapy,not only can cause pain,stiffness,numbness,limited dysfunction of shoulder neck and arm,but also may have serious impact on patient's life quality and phys-ical and mental health.At present,there is still a lack of a systematic evaluation and rehabilitation management program for postoperative SS of oral and maxillofacial malignant tumors.Based on the previous clinical practice and the current available evidence,refer to the relevant lit-erature at home and abroad,the experts in the field of maxillofacial tumor surgery and rehabilitation were invited to discuss,modify and reach a consenusus on the etiology,assessment diagnosis,differential diagnosis,rehabilitation strategy and prevention of SS,in order to provide clinical reference.

Objective By analyzing the characteristics of hidden poisoning homicide cases,provide scientific references for grass-roots forensic examination and toxicological screening and provide direction for the efficient discovery of hidden or missed cases of poisoning homicide in non-natural death cases.Methods Poisoning incidents in Hunan Province from 2018 to 2023 were retrospectively analyzed and compiled using Origin and EXCEL software.Results There were a total of 149 poisoning homicide cases,with 15 occurring in urban areas(accounting for 10.1%)and 134 in rural areas(accounting for 89.9%).Out of the 46 cases that led to casualties,rodenticide poisoning was the most prevalent(accounting for 52.2%),followed by cyanide(4.3%),nitrite(4.3%),thallium(2.2%),and other forms of poisoning.These incidents were primarily concentrated in urban areas.The main way of poisoning was to mix poisons into drinking water(accounting for 28.3%),meals(26.1%),and dark or heavy seasoning(8.7%).There was no significant disparity in the gender distribution of suspects,although the number of male victims was notably higher than that of female victims.The suspects were predominantly between the ages of 19 and 45,while the victims were mostly between the ages of 46 and 60.Among the 103 cases that did not result in injury or death,99%occurred in rural areas,with more than 95%of the involved poisons included pungent pesticides or herbicides,while rodenticides accounted for the least(1.9%).Conclusion There are obvious urban-rural differences in the case occurrence areas and types of involved poisons in poisoning homicide cases.Therefore,it is imperative to focus on both urban and rural areas during the investigation and evidence collection process in suspected poisoning cases.

Liver failure is a kind of acute and severe liver disease.Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells(BM-MSCs)have the function of differentiating into hepatocytes.Promotion of the regeneration of hepatocytes re-generation,inhibition of apoptosis,necrosis and inflammation of hepatocytes,may facilitate repairing damaged liver tissue and improving liver function.BM-MSCs have become a new choice with great application potential in the treatment of liver failure.

【Objective】 To explore the population characteristics, the reasons for deferral and the changing trend of unqualified rate of blood test of voluntary blood donors in Xi′an, so as to provide a data support for recruiting low-risk regular blood donors, reducing unqualified rate, improving blood safety and blood quality. 【Methods】 The age, gender, occupation, education and unqualified blood test of voluntary blood donors in Xi′an area from 2012 to 2021 were classified and analyzed retrospectively. 【Results】 The number of voluntary blood donors in Xi′an increased year by year from 2012 to 2021, while the overall unqualified rate of blood test kept decreasing, with an overall unqualified rate at 2.36%, which was at a middle level in China. There were more male blood donors than female donors, and the highest proportion of blood donors in terms of age, occupation and education was between 21-30 years old group (40.19%), other occupation group(21.75%), and undergraduate and above group (32.61%) respectively. The total unqualified rate was ALT (0.68%)>HBsAg (0.55%) > anti -HCV (0.48%) > anti -TP (0.43%) > anti -HIV (0.17%). The unqualified rate of blood donors aged 31 to 40 was the highest. With the increase of academic qualifications, the unqualified rate generally showed a gradual downward trend. The unqualified rate of soldiers, teachers, civil servants and medical workers was low, while the unqualified rates of various items of students were high. There were seasonal differences in the total number of blood donors, the total unqualified rate and the unqualified rate of each item (except anti -HIV). 【Conclusion】 The voluntary blood donors are mainly males, aged 21 to 30, with other occupations and with bachelor degree or above. Regular voluntary blood donation teams in this area should be established among soldiers, teachers, civil servants, medical workers and highly educated groups, and more attention should be paid to health consultation for workers, farmers and students before blood donation.

Objective:To investigate the implementation status of sepsis hour-1 bundle strategy for patients with septic shock in emergency department.Methods:A total of 116 septic shock patients admitted to the emergency department from January 2020 to December 2020 were included in this prospective study, and the implementation of sepsis bundles and the clinical outcomes of patients were recorded.Results:Among 116 patients, 20 cases (17.2%) had lactic acid monitored within 1 h, 20 cases (17.2%) had blood culture before antibiotics, 82 cases (70.1%) received broad-spectrum antibiotics, 16 cases (13.8%) received fluid resuscitation ≥30 ml/kg, and 57 cases (49.1%) received vasoactive drugs during resuscitation. Finally, the sepsis hour-1 bundle strategy was fully implemented only in 13 cases (11.2%). Compared with the group with incomplete implementation of sepsis hour-1 bundle strategy, the volume of fluid recovery in the group with full implementation was significantly increased [33.7 (30.0,37.5) vs. 8.9(7.3,10.8) ml/kg, Z=-4.78, P<0.001], mean artery blood pressure significantly increased [70.0 (70.0,76.7) vs. 67.7 (61.7,76.7)mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) , Z=-2.00, P<0.001], and lactic acid significantly decreased [3.0 (2.0,3.2) vs. 4.4 (3.7,7.2) mmol/L, Z=-2.76, P=0.006]. However, there were no significant differences in ICU mortality, in-hospital mortality and 28-day mortality between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Septic shock patients in emergency department have poor compliance with the implementation of sepsis hour-1 bundle strategy, and relevant management training should be strengthened.

Objective:In order to explore the possibility of expanding the surgical indications of the ambulatory laparoscopic transcystic common bill duct exploration(LTCBDE).Methods:A retrospective case-control study analysis was performed on the clinical data of 585 patients who underwent laparoscopic transcystic common bill duct exploration in the Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2015 to December 2018, including 155 cases of the ambulatory LTCBDE (study group) and 430 cases of the overnight LTCBDE (control group). The propensity score was used to match the related variables, and 144 pairs were successfully matched. The two groups were compared in surgery-related indicators, such the preoperative tests, history of acute exacerbation in the last one month, history of upper abdominal surgery, concomitant diseases (high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease and respiratory diseases), american society of anesthesiology (ASA) score, intraoperative bleeding, operation time, total medical costs, unplanned readmission rate. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as mean±standard deviation( ± s), chi-square test was used for comparison between groups, and M( Q1, Q3) was used for measurement data with non-normal distribution. Fisher exact probability test and Wilcoxon rank-sum test were used for comparison between groups. Results:The indexes of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase(ALT), total bilirubin, direct bilirubin (DBIL), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), ASA score, intraoperative bleeding and total medical costs of the study group were 21.8(18.0, 31.0) U/L, 21.5(15.0, 42.5) U/L, 14.2(11.2, 18.6) umol/L, 2.6(2.1, 3.5) μmol/L, 91.0(73.3, 118.5) U/L, 44.5(22.0, 109.8) U/L, 2.0(2.0, 2.0) grade, 7.5(5.0, 10.0) mL, 9 659.0(8 704.8, 10 640.2) yuan respectively, and the control group were 26.0(17.7, 45.3) U/L, 29.5(16.0, 85.5) U/L, 17.2(13.0, 27.5) μmol/L, 3.8(2.4, 8.7) μmol/L, 105.0(81.0, 156.0) U/L, 86.5(25.0, 224.8) U/L, 2.0(2.0, 2.0) grade, 10.0(6.3, 20.0) mL, 14 366.6(11 766.4, 16 764.4) yuan, which the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05). In two groups of the surgery-related indicators, such as the history of acute exacerbation in the last one month, history of upper abdominal surgery, hypertension are significant statistical differences ( P<0.05). Then there were no significant differences in diabetes, coronary heart diseases, cerebrovascular disease, respiratory diseases, surgical time and unplanned readmission rate. Conclusion:The concomitant diseases may not be the absolute contraindications of the ambulatory LTCBDE. More patients can be treated with ambulatory LTCBDE in experienced centers if relevant outpatient assay and examinations can be further improved, risks of surgery and anesthesia can be fully evaluated, and surgical contraindications can be clearly excluded.

There are many problems in the training mode of traditional forensic undergraduates, such as the lag of curriculum setting, the lack of interdisciplinary and the lack of practical training. Based on the teaching practice of forensic undergraduates in Central South University, this study puts forward the following four reform schemes: ①advancing the setting of forensic medicine curriculum to strengthen the integration of specialized courses with basic medicine and clinical medicine courses; ②increasing related courses to intensify interdisciplinary teaching; ③introducing online teaching mode of virtual simulation to enrich the content of undergraduate forensic medical education; ④expanding the scope of joint classroom teaching inside and outside the school to realize the two-way rapid update of practical and theoretical resources. The purpose of this paper is to provide new ideas and directions for training forensic talents who are more suitable for the development of the times.
