Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of digitally guided precision crown lengthening in secondary aesthetic rehabilitation cases, and to provide a clinical reference for digitally guided crown lengthening procedures and secondary aesthetic restorations. Methods: We present a case of a patient with tetracycline-stained teeth, partial detachment of anterior resin veneers, and gingival margin discrepancies. The patient underwent digitally guided precision crown lengthening followed by secondary aesthetic rehabilitation. Multimodal data, including intraoral, facial, and CBCT scans, were integrated to construct a four-dimensional virtual patient model (incorporating teeth, face, bone, and occlusion) for surgical planning and 3D-printed guide fabrication. Secondary aesthetic restoration was performed after achieving stable post-surgical outcomes. Based on this case, we conducted a detailed analysis and reviewed relevant literature on crown lengthening in secondary aesthetic rehabilitation. Results: The gingival contour of the anterior teeth exhibited significant improvement, with enhanced symmetry and stable gingival margin positioning that closely matched the preoperative design. The crown lengthening procedure demonstrated high precision, and the final outcome was aesthetic and functional. Literature review indicated that secondary restorations frequently present challenges such as gingival contour discrepancies and inflammation. Aesthetic crown lengthening in the anterior region should optimize both soft and hard tissue morphology to meet aesthetic standards, with digital technology improving procedural accuracy. Conclusion Precision crown lengthening effectively addresses gingival margin discrepancies in secondary aesthetic rehabilitation, ensuring stable gingival positioning and superior aesthetic outcomes. This approach is particularly suitable for cases with high aesthetic demands.

Lung cancer is the malignant tumor with the highest incidence and mortality among the Chinese.Tumor node metastasis(TNM)staging established by the American Joint Committee on Cancer(AJCC)and International Union Against Cancer(UICC)is a commonly used criterion,but it still has limitations in judging the prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)patients.With the advantages of real-time and convenient sampling,the immune score based on peripheral blood biomarkers have the ability to predict prognosis and efficacy of NSCLC patients,which have been developed and validated in clinical studies.However,clinical impleruentation of peripheral immune scores is still not widely in NSCLC patients.Therefore,this study introduces and evaluates the 6 peripheral immune scores and reviews the reseach progress of them in the treatment of NSCLC.

【Objective】 To analyze the quality level of the laboratory pre-analytical phase, so as to take effective quality improvement interventions to further standardize the operation and provide basis for ensuring the quality of blood testing. 【Methods】 Pre-analytical phase quality indicators of blood screening laboratory in Shanghai Blood Center were established, and those had serious impact on blood safety were defined as the sentinel indicators. The pre-analytical quality level of our laboratory from 2018 to 2020 was statistically analyzed in terms of four parts including sample collection, preservation and submission, centrifugation and quality inspection, which contained 17 indicators. 【Results】 Eleven sentinel indicators were established, and the order of peak value from high to low in three years was as follows: " label omission" rated at 0.000 62% (2020), " label error" 0.000 57% (2018), " inappropriate storage of samples before detection" 0.007 39 (2018), " unqualified application form for sample detection" 0.007 39 (2018). The causes were analyzed and relevant measures were taken. Six monitoring indicators were established, and the order of peak value from high to low in three years was as follows: " insufficient sample" rated at 0.002 59% (year 2018), " hemolysis" 0.002 80% (year 2020), " pale color of blood supernatant (diluted)" 0.000 86 (2018), " automatic sampling interfered by blood clot" 0.027 02% (2018). 【Conclusion】 The quality indexes of pre-analytical phase in our laboratory have reached the level of domestic and international clinical laboratories. The establishment of pre-analytical quality indicators and sentinel indicators, with effective analysis and application, can fully record and monitor the quality of each link before laboratory testing, which is helpful to timely identify risks, detect deviations, and quickly implement corrective and preventive measures, thus further ensure the safety of clinical blood use.

Objective To explore the association between post-stroke blood pressure and collaterals and functional outcome in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with large vessel occlusion/stenosis.Methods Consecutive AIS patients with large vessel occlusion/stenosis who had symptom onset within 6 hours in Huashan Hospital from July 2011 to October 2017 were retrospectively recruited and enrolled.Collaterals were analyzed through CT perfusion imaging.And all the patients were followed up for 3 months.And the association between baseline blood pressure,collaterals and outcomes was analyzed using multivariate linear and Logistic models.A total of 126 patients were enrolled for multivariate Logistic and linear regression analysis.Results Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that with every increment of 10 mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa) systolic blood pressure,the odds of poor functional outcome increased by 20％ (unadjusted OR =1.20,95％ CI 1.02-1.42,P =0.03).After adjusting for age and sex,the odds increased by 21％ (OR =1.21,95％ CI 1.01-1.46,P =0.04).However,no statistical significance was shown after multivariate adjustment (OR--1.02,95％ CI 0.99-1.05,P =0.06).Multivariate linear regression analysis demonstrated that diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was negatively associated with the volume of hypoperfused and severely hypoperfused lesion.With every increment of 10 mmHg DBP,the volume of delay time (DT) ＞ 6 s lesion downsized by 7.6 ml (unstandardized coefficient -7.56,95％ CI-14.89--0.24,P =0.04).The DT ＞6 s/DT ＞3 s ratio was also decreased with the elevation of DBP (unstandardized coefficient-0.03,95 ％ CI-0.06--0.01,P =0.01).Conclusions For AIS patients,though higher DBP seems to be associated with better collaterals,it may still relate with poor functional outcome.

Objective To evaluate the effect of robot-assisted gait training on the walking ability of hemiplegic patients.Methods Sixty hemiplegic patients were randomly divided into a control group and a treatment group,each of 30.Both groups were given traditional rehabilitation and drug therapy.The control group was additionally provided with the traditional gait training,while the treatment group additionally received robot-assisted gait training.The gait training lasted 30 minutes a day,5 days per week.Before and after 8 weeks of training,the time parameters,phase parameters,the joint angles of the lower limbs,and the peak ground reaction forces of both groups were evaluated using a three-dimensional gait analysis system.Results After the intervention,the walking velocity,stride frequency and stride length had increased in the treatment group,while stride width had decreased.Significant improvement was observed in the treatment group in terms of the percentage of swing phase on the paretic side,the percentage of stance phase on the paretic side,the single support time ratio,the percentage of double support phase,the range of motion of the hip and knee joints,and the peak vertical and forward ground reaction force as a percentage of body weight.The improvements were significantly greater than those observed in the control group.Conclusions Compared with traditional walking training,robot-assisted gait training can be more effective in improving the walking ability of hemiplegic patients.

Objective To clarify the intravenous thrombolysis utilization of acute ischemic stroke patients in Huashan hospital,and to analyze the factors affecting thrombolytic therapy compliance.Methods The data from a prospective cohort were analyzed.Consecutive acute stroke and transient ischemic attack patients from Huashan Hospital emergency room were recruited in 2014.Eligible ischemic stroke patients were divided into two groups according to intravenous thrombolysis or not.Results Totally 220 patients from emergency room were assessed in 2014.Among eligible patients,43 patients refused intravenous thrombolysis,whereas 59 patients chose this therapy.After multiple analysis,age,baseline NIHSS score,limb weakness,hemiplegic paralysis,facial paralysis or speech symptoms were significantly different between the two groups (U =936.000,P =0.024;U =284.500,P ＜ 0.01;x2 =8.824,P =0.003;x2 =7.732,P=0.005;x2 =5.169,P=0.038;x2 =5.040,P=0.025).Patients with NIHSS score ＜7 tended to refuse thrombolysis therapy in the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis (sensitivity 0.93,specificity 0.71).From 2008 to 2014,244 cases were analyzed in the thrombolysis database.Compared with patients with higher baseline NIHSS score,intracranial hemorrhage rate (2.6％ vs 19.4％;x2 =12.466,P ＜0.01),7-day mortality rate (1.3％ vs 16.9％;x2 =12.308,P ＜0.01) and 3-month mortality rate (3.8％ vs 21.1％;x2 =11.993,P ＜0.01) were lower in patients whose baseline NIHSS score ＜ 7 (minor group).A higher rate of excellent outcome (3-month modified Rankin Scale score ≤ 1)was observed in minor group (78.2％ vs 38.0％;x2 =34.403,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions Intravenous thrombolysis was performed in 54.6％ of eligible ischemic stroke patients.Age,baseline NIHSS score,limb weakness,hemiplegic paralysis,facial paralysis or speech symptoms were associated with patients' decision of thrombolysis.The effectiveness and safety of intravenous thrombolysis were promising for patients with mild stroke.

Objective To assess the incidence of thrombocytopenia and abnormal coagulation,door to needle time (DNT),and safety in patients with ischemic stroke who receive intravenous thrombolytic treatment prior to the availability of blood platelet (PLT) and coagulation results.Methods Consecutive acute ischemic stroke (AIS) or transient ischemic attack patients within 12 hours of symptom onset who were admitted from January 2009 to March 2013 were retrospectively recruited.First laboratory reports in their medical charts were collected to assess the incidence of thrombocytopenia and abnormal coagulation.In the mean time,consecutive AIS patients who received intravenous thrombolysis at Huashan Hospital during the same period were retrospectively recruited.The thrombolytic procedures were further optimized since June 10.3760/cma.j.issn.1006-7876.2014.07.00626,2012.With informed consent,intravenous thrombolysis was initiated without PLT and coagulation results after certain previous history and medications were ruled out.Thrombolytic patients were divided into two groups based on the initiation of thrombolysis before or after PLT and coagulation results.Baseline demographic data,symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage rates,mortality on the 7th day as well as functional outcome at 3 months were collected.DNT as well as efficacy and safety of thrombolysis therapy were compared between the two groups.Results Of 298 AIS patients within 12 hours of onset,8 had thrombocytopenia or abnormal coagulation.One hundred and twenty cases of intravenous thrombolysis patients were recruited.Waiting for PLT and coagulation results prolonged DNT than without waiting for them (90 min vs 59 min; U =870.000,P ＜0.01).There was no statistically significant difference in the rate of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH),early efficacy,7 d mortality and 3-month good outcome between two groups.Conclusions The incidence of thrombocytopenia and abnormal coagulation is low in AIS patients.Initiating intravenous thrombolysis prior to the availability of coagulation results can shorten DNT,while increased risks of sICH and 7 d mortality were not observed.

Objective To determine factors associated with favorable clinical outcome in acute ischemic stroke patients who received intravenous thrombolysis.Methods Patients treated with intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) between January 1,2008 and May 31,2013 were recruited.Favorable outcome was defined as modified Rankin scale (mRS) score ＜ 2 at 3 months.The baseline characteristics were compared by univariate and multivariate analysis.Results Of all the 148 patients studied,within the 4.5-hour time window,the rate of patients with a favorable outcome was 52.4％ (65/124),significantly better than those beyond the time window(20.8％ (5/24),x2 =8.048,P =0.005).Univariate analysis showed that age (U =2 146.000,P =0.025),TOAST classification (x2 =11.412,P =0.010),Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project (OCSP) classification (x2 =17.409,P =0.001),baseline blood glucose (U =1 446.500,P ＜ 0.01),baseline fibrinogen (U =1 689.000,P =0.038),admission NIHSS score (U =1 140.000,P ＜ 0.01),24-hour NIHSS score (U =458.000,P ＜0.01),and early symptom improvement (24-hour NIHSS score decreased ≥ 4 points,or down to 0 point;x2 =19.576,P ＜ 0.01) were the factors associated with clinical outcomes.Multivariate analysis revealed that age (odds ratio (OR) =0.943,95％ confidence interval (CI) 0.892-0.996,P =0.024),baseline fibrinogen (OR =0.448,95％ CI 0.208-0.963,P =0.040),baseline NIHSS score (OR =0.749,95％ CI 0.663-0.845,P ＜ 0.01),and early symptom improvement (OR =14.970,95％ CI 4.460-50.249,P ＜ 0.01) were independent predictors of clinical outcomes.Conclusions The effect of intravenous thrombolysis on clinical outcomes of acute ischemic stroke patients is time-dependent.Age,baseline NIHSS score,baseline fibrinogen level,and early symptom improvement are independent predictors of clinical outcomes after intravenous thrombolysis.

A comparison of the volatile compounds in Rhizomes Curcumae （Ezhu） and Radix Curcumae （Yujin） was undertaken using gas chromatography mass spectrometi-y （GC-MS）. Ultrasonic extraction and GC-MS methods were developed for the simultaneous determination of five sesquiterpenes, namely, α-pinene, β-elemene, curcumol, germacrone and curdione, in Ezhu and Yunjin. Good linearity （r〉0.999） and high inter-day precision were observed over the investigated concentration ranges. The validated method was successfully used for the simultaneous determination of five sesquiterpenes in Ezhu and Yujin. The quantitative method can be effectively used to evaluate and monitor the quality of Chinese curcuma in clinical use.
