Abstract
Purpose Abundant retinal microRNA-183 cluster (miR-183C) has been reported to be a key player in photoreceptor development and functionality in mice. However, whether there is a protagonist in this cluster remains unclear. Here, we used a mutant mouse model to study the role of miR-96, a member of miR-183C, in photoreceptor development and functionality. Methods The mature miR-96 sequence was removed using the CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing system. Electroretinogram (ERG) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) investigated the changes in structure and function in mouse retinas. Immunostaining determined the localization and morphology of the retinal cells. RNA sequencing was conducted to observe retinal transcription alterations. Results The miR-96 mutant mice exhibited cone developmental delay, as occurs in miR-183/96 double knockout mice. Immunostaining of cone-specific marker genes revealed cone nucleus mislocalization and exiguous Opn1mw/Opn1sw in the mutant (MT) mouse outer segments at postnatal day 10. Interestingly, this phenomenon could be relieved in the adult stages. Transcriptome analysis revealed activation of microtubule-, actin filament–, and cilia-related pathways, further supporting the findings. Based on ERG and OCT results at different ages, the MT mice displayed developmental delay not only in cones but also in rods. In addition, a group of miR-96 potential direct and indirect target genes was summarized for interpretation and further studies of miR-96–related retinal developmental defects. Conclusions Depletion of miR-96 delayed but did not arrest photoreceptor development in mice. This miRNA is indispensable for mouse photoreceptor maturation, especially for cones.

Abstract
Histone methylation, particularly at the H3K4 position, is thought to contribute to the specification of photoreceptor cell fate; however, the mechanisms linking histone methylation with transcription factor transactivation and photoreceptor gene expression have not yet been determined. Here, we demonstrate that MLL5 is abundantly expressed in the mouse retina. Mll5 deficiency impaired electroretinogram responses, alongside attenuated expression of a number of retina genes. Mechanistic studies revealed that MLL5 interacts with the retina-specific transcription factor, CRX, contributing to its binding to photoreceptor-specific gene promoters. Moreover, depletion of MLL5 impairs H3K4 methylation and H3K79 methylation, which subsequently compromises CRX-CBP assembly and H3 acetylation on photoreceptor promoters. Our data support a scenario in which recognition of H3K4 methylation by MLL5 is required for photoreceptor-specific gene transcription through maintaining a permissive chromatin state and proper CRX-CBP recruitment at promoter sites. MLL5 is essential for the expression of critical photoreceptor genes MLL5 depletion reduces H3K4/K79 methylation at photoreceptor gene promoters MLL5 interacts with CRX via its CD4 domain Recognition of H3K4me2/3 by MLL5 is a prerequisite for CRX recruitment to chromatin

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the imaging features of condylar cystic degeneration of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) by cone-beam CT (CBCT), spiral CT, MRI and radionuclide bone imaging. Methods: From January 2018 to December 2020, thirty-two patients with cyst-like lesions of condylein temporomandibular joint were examined by CBCT, spiral CT, MRI and radionuclide bone imaging at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in General Hospital of Chinese PLA. There were 12 males and 20 females involved, aged from 16 to 65 years with an average age of (33.9±12.5) years. The characteristics of CBCT, spiral CT, MRI and radionuclide bone imaging were analyzed. Condylar cyst like lesions were classified as type A and type B based on the presence or absence of surface bone defects. Condylar cyst like lesions were classified as type Ⅰ(yes) and type Ⅱ(no) according to the accompanying bone marrow edema-like lesions of the condyles. The incidence of condylar bone marrow edema, disc displacement and abnormal bone metabolism were analyzed. Results: A total of 64 joint images of 32 patients were included, including 34 sides with TMJ cyst-like lesion and 6 sides with multiple cyst-like lesions,the total cyst-like lesions were 42. The largest diameter of cyst-like lesion ranged from 1.0 to 12.4 mm, with an average length of (3.7± 1.8) mm. There were 24 cases of type A TMJ cyst like lesion and 10 cases of type B cyst-like lesion. The detection rate of CBCT was 95.2% (40/42) and that of spiral CT was 100% (42/42), there was no significant difference (Calibration Chi-square=0.51, P=0.474). The detection rate of nuclear magnetic resonance was 80.1% (34/42), and the detection rate of cyst-like lesions less than 2 mm was 3/11. In the cyst like lesion side, there were 9 sides with anterior disc displacement with reduction, 20 sides with anterior disc displacement without reduction. In the non-cyst like lesion side, 10 sides with anterior disc displacement with reduction and 6 sides with anterior disc displacement without reduction. There was a significant difference in the displacement of the disc between cyst-like and non-cystic lesion side (χ²=7.80, P=0.005). MRI showed that 6 cases of cystic side[17.6% (6/34)] had bone marrow edema-like lesions (all type A), 1 case of non-cyst like lesions side [3.3% (1/30)] had bone marrow edema-like lesion, there was no significant difference between cystic and non-cystic lesions (Calibration Chi-square=2.04, P=0.153). There was a significant difference between type A and B cystic lesions (Fisher exact probability method, P=0.024). Radionuclide bone imaging showed abnormal bone metabolism in 26 patients in the cyst-like lesion side and 5 patients in the non-cyst like lesion side (χ²=22.82, P<0.001). Conclusions Multi-slice Spiral CT could detect the cyst-like lesion of TMJ condyle in the early stage, which is different from the large joint. And the formation mechanism may vary from the different classifications.

Abstract
Peripheral nerve injuries are mainly related to severe trauma, fracture and tumor surgery, leading to reduced quality of life and impaired physical and mental health. The repair of peripheral nerve still faces great challenges in clinic, and the research on the regeneration and repair of peripheral nerve has become a hot issue in related disciplines. Cell therapy plays an irreplaceable role in tissue regeneration and repair. Schwann cells are ideal cells for peripheral nerve repair, but their limited sources inhibit the clinical application. Dental pulp stem cells are derived from neural crest, which provides a new cell source for nerve regeneration. The purpose of this article is to review the research progress of dental pulp stem cells for peripheral nerve repair.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and differential diagnosis of pediatric SMARCB1/INI1-deficient poorly differentiated chordoma (PDC) of the skull base. Methods: Five cases of SMARCB1/INI1-deficient PDC were identified in 139 cases of chordoma diagnosed in Sanbo Brain Institute, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China from March 2017 to March 2021. The clinical and imaging data of the 5 PDCs were collected. H&E and immunohistochemical staining, and DNA methylation array were used, and the relevant literatures were reviewed. Results: All 5 PDCs were located at the clivus. The average age of the patients was 6.4 years, ranging from 3 to 16 years. Three patients were female and two were male. Morphologically, in contrast with classical chordomas, they presented as epithelioid or spindle tumor cells organized in sheets or nests, with necrosis, active mitoses, and infiltration into surrounding tissue. All cases showed positivity of CKpan, EMA, vimentin and brachyury (nuclear stain), and loss of nuclear SMARCB1/INI1 expression. S-100 protein expression was not frequent (2/5). Ki-67 proliferative index was high (20%-50%). All cases had over-expressed p53. It was necessary to differentiate SMARCB1/INI1-dificient PDC from SMARCB1/INI1-dificient tumors occurring at skull base of children or the tumors with epithelial and spindle cell morphological features. The 3 PDCs with DNA methylation testing showed the methylation profiles different from the pediatric atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors. They formed an independent methylation profile cluster. The clinical prognosis of the 5 patients was poor, and the overall survival time was 2-17 months. Conclusions: PDC is a special subtype of chordoma, which often affects children and occurs in the clivus. The PDC shares epithelioid or spindle cell morphologic features which are different from the classic chordoma. Besides the typical immunohistochemical profile of chordoma, PDC also has loss of nuclear SMARCB1/INI1 expression and distinct epigenetic characteristics.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the application of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology in oral and maxillofacial surgery, so as to optimize and standardize its design and application. Methods: From January 2010 to December 2020, 40 cases of mandibular tumor surgery (20 cases of conventional group and 20 cases of guide plate group), 20 cases of temporomandibular joint replacement surgery (10 cases of conventional group and 10 cases of guide plate group), 20 cases of malocclusion surgery (10 cases of conventional group and 10 cases of guide plate group), 20 cases of radioactive particle implantation surgery (10 cases of CT guided group and 10 cases of guide plate group) were analyzed. All patients in the guide plate group were scanned with spiral CT, and the 3D models of the jaw and the donor bone area were reconstruction. According to the purpose of surgical guide, the design and clinical application of osteotomy guide, in place forming guide and puncture positioning guide were analyzed respectively. The design time of guide plate, the performance and printing time of guide material, the sterilization method of guide and its influence on accuracy, and the influence of guide application on operation time and accuracy were analyzed. Results: The design time of orthognathic guide plate was (2.9±1.8) d, and the design time of mandibular transplantation guide plate was (2.8±1.8) d, that of the temporomandibular joint replacement guide plate and the puncture guide plate was (2.2±0.3) and (0.9±0.3) d. The average printing time of the 40 maxilla model was (11.1±1.6) h, and that of the 40 mandible models was (2.6±0.4) h. The average printing time of the 40 sets of osteotomy and positioning guide plate was (2.5±0.8) h, and that of the 10 puncture positioning guide plate (1.1±0.4) h. The operation time of the conventional group was (6.99±1.10) and (6.02±0.55) h. In the CT guided group, the operation time was (1.91±0.55) h and (0.89±0.15). The operation time of mandible tumor operation and radioactive particle implantation in the guide plate group was less than that in the control group (P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in the operation time of orthognathic surgery and joint replacement between the two groups (P>0.05). The displacement distance of the mark points in the TMJ replacement and mandibular tumor operation guide group was less than that in the control group (P<0.05), and the error of the guide plate in orthognathic operation and particle implantation operation was basically less than 1 mm. Conclusions: The application of the surgical guide plate made by 3D printing technology helps to complete the operation more safely, accurately and quickly, But its design, manufacture and disinfection still need to be further standardized and improved.

Abstract
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a unique synovial joint in mammals. There have been many reports on the structure and function of TMJ during embryonic development.Although studies on TMJ related signal molecules and transcription factors during embryonic development have been carried out since the last century, there are few reports on the molecular genetic regulation of TMJ compared with the abundant molecular regulation information of synovial joint. The studies on signal molecules and transcription factors of TMJ embryonic development were mainly conducted in rodents.There were few studies on the regulatory molecules and their regulatory mechanisms related to the development of TMJ conducted in large mammals and human embryos. This article reviews the research progress of key signal molecules and transcription factors of TMJ in embryonic development on the basis of modern molecular biology technology in order to find more core regulatory molecules and understand their regulation mechanism on TMJ development.

OBJECTIVE To explore the potential factors that affect the accuracy of endoscopic diagnosis for Japan narrow-band imaging (NBI) Expert Team (JNET) type 2B colorectal lesions. OBJECTIVE The clinical data were collected from 261 patients with JNET type 2B colorectal lesions diagnosed in Nanfang Hospital between July, 2018 and July, 2021. We analyzed the macroscopic type, size, location or pit pattern classification of the lesions for their potential influence of the diagnostic accuracy of JNET type 2B lesions. OBJECTIVE The 261 lesions included 91 low-grade intramucosal neoplasia lesions (34.9%), 132 high-grade intramucosal neoplasia lesions (50.6%), 13 submucosal invasive cancer lesions (5.0%), and 25 deep submucosal invasive cancer lesions (9.6%). The coincidence rate between endoscopic prediction and pathological diagnosis of these lesions was 55.6% (145/ 261). The macroscopic type and size of the lesions were significantly associated with the diagnostic accuracy of JNET type 2B lesions (P < 0.001). There was a significant difference in the diagnostic accuracy among the lesions with different pit pattern types (P < 0.001). OBJECTIVE Both the macroscopic type and size affect the accuracy of endoscopic diagnosis of JNET type 2B colorectal lesions. JNET classification combined with pit pattern types can have better accuracy in predicting the pathological diagnosis of these lesions.

Abstract
Background:To facilitate earlier diagnosis of spondyloarthritis (SpA), we have previously cross-culturally adapted a self-administered screening questionnaire.Objectives:We aimed to improve the sensitivity of this questionnaire as a screening tool by comparing various scoring methods.Methods:Subjects newly referred to a rheumatology clinic self-administered the questionnaire before seeing a rheumatologist. Identification of axial SpA by the questionnaire using original scoring (Method A) and scoring based on Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society (ASAS) inflammatory back pain (IBP) criteria (Method B), ASAS referral criteria (Method C), ASAS classification criteria (Method D) and a combination of ASAS referral and classification criteria (Method E) were compared to classification by the ASAS classification criteria and diagnosis by rheumatologist. Since Methods B-E were based on SpA features, we compared self-reported vs rheumatologist-documented features in subjects with axial SpA.Results:Of 1418 subjects (age: 54 ± 14 years, female: 73%), 39 were classified as axial SpA cases by classification criteria. Methods A-E yielded sensitivities of 39%, 72%, 67%, 49% and 85%, respectively, among patients newly referred to the rheumatology clinic (Table 1). Rheumatologist-documented clinical SpA features exceeded self-report for IBP (62 vs 44%) and uveitis (15 vs 5%). The reverse was true for arthritis (21 vs 80%), enthesitis (28 vs 33%), dactylitis (3 vs 18%), good response to NSAIDs (33 vs 41%) and family history for SpA (5 vs 10%).Table 1.Performance of the five scoring methods for the cross-culturally adapted Hamilton axial SpA questionnaire.Scoring methodSensitivity(95% confidence interval)Specificity(95% confidence interval)Positive predictive value(95% confidence interval)Negative predictive value(95% confidence interval)Method A38.5(23.4 – 55.4)93.7(92.3 – 94.9)14.7(8.5 – 23.1)98.2(97.3 – 98.8)Method B71.8(55.1 – 85.0)73.1(70.7 – 75.4)7.0(4.7 – 10.0)98.9(98.1 – 99.5)Method C66.7(49.8 – 80.9)77.8(75.5 – 80.0)7.8(5.2 – 11.3)98.8(98.0 – 99.4)Method D48.7(32.4 – 65.2)74.9(72.5 – 77.2)5.2(3.2 – 8.0)98.1(97.1 – 98.8)Method E84.6(69.5 – 94.1)37.2(34.6 – 39.8)3.7(2.5 – 5.1)98.8(97.5 – 99.6)Method A: the original scoring defined by the questionnaire developers; Method B: a scoring based on the ASAS IBP criteria; Method C: a scoring based on the ASAS referral criteria; Method D: a scoring based on the ASAS classification criteria for axial and peripheral SpA; Method E: a scoring based on a combination of the ASAS referral and classification criteria.Conclusion:A self-administered questionnaire scored based on a combination of ASAS referral and classification criteria achieved high sensitivity in identifying axial SpA in subjects referred to a rheumatology clinic.

Abstract
Background:The interval between symptom onset and diagnosis can often be longer than is ideal in autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs).Objectives:We aimed to characterise this interval among patients newly diagnosed with ARDs in a multi-ethnic Asian population and to identify factors associated with a longer interval.Methods:We used Scott’s model of pathways to treatment to characterise the interval between symptom onset and diagnosis into 4 intervals: #1 between symptom onset and first seeking medical attention, #2 between first medical attention and rheumatology referral, #3 between rheumatology referral and first rheumatology assessment, and #4 between first rheumatology assessment and diagnosis. Linear regression models were used to identify factors associated with a longer the overall interval between symptom onset and diagnosis and Interval #1.Results:Among 259 patients (age: 51±15 years, female: 71%, most common three ARDs: rheumatoid arthritis (n = 75), axial spondyloarthritis (n = 40) and psoriatic arthritis (n = 35)), the median overall interval was 11.5 months. Interval #1 (median = 4.9 months) was significantly longer than the other intervals (Table 1). Patients with axial spondyloarthritis had a significantly longer overall interval (median = 38.7 months) and Interval #1 (median = 26.6 months) compared to patients with RA (median = 7.6 and 3.5 months, respectively), PsA (median = 7.0 and 2.6 months, respectively) and the other ARDs. Gender was the only patient-related factor significantly associated with the overall interval (reference = male, coefficient = -15.3, p = 0.033) in regression models.Conclusion:A longer than ideal interval between symptom onset and diagnosis was observed among patients with ARDs. This was primarily due to a relatively long interval between symptom onset and first seeking medical attention, and highlights the importance of interventions targeting patients prior to first medical attention in reducing the duration between symptom onset and diagnosis.References:[1]Scott SE, Walter FM, Webster A, Sutton S, Emery J.

Abstract
Anaphylaxis is increasingly in children. Foods are the most common triggers. Anaphylaxis is currently undernotified, underdiagnosed, and undertreated in China. Recurrence of anaphylaxis has been recorded in one-third of cases, thus it is essential to prevent recurrence in long-term personalized management of anaphylaxis. Here it reviews the avoidance of triggers and cofactors/risk factors,long-term management of anaphylaxis. This article aims to increase awareness of anaphylaxis in children in order to improve management and prevention of recurrences.

Abstract
Down-regulated miR-223-3p was found in rheumatoid arthritis. This study aimed to further explore the level and role of miR-223-3p in gout arthritis (GA). After monosodium urate (MSU)-induced GA rat and fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) models were established, the rat paw volume and gait score were documented and the FLSs were transfected with miR-223-3p mimic/inhibitor or NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) over-expression plasmids. The MiR-223-3p target was found through bioinformatics and the dual-luciferase reporter. The rat joint pathological damage was observed by hematoxylin and eosin staining. The levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and articular elastase in rats were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The viability and pyroptosis of FLSs were detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) and flow cytometry. The expressions of miR-223-3p, NLRP3, cleaved caspase-1, IL-1β, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein (AS) and cleaved N-terminal gasdermin D (GSDMD) in FLSs or rat synovial tissues were detected by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), immunofluorescence, Western blot or immunohistochemistry analysis. MSU increased the paw volume, gait score, inflammation in synovial tissues and increased the levels of IL-1β, TNF-α and articular elastase in rats. MSU decreased the viability and increased the pyroptosis of FLSs, up-regulated the expression of NLRP3, ASC, cleaved caspase-1, cleaved N-terminal GSDM, and IL-1β, and down-regulated miR-223-3p expression in synovial tissues of rat joints and FLSs. MiR-223-3p mimic reversed the effect of MSU on lowering cell viability, increasing pyroptosis in FLSs, while miR-223-3p inhibitor further enhanced the effect of MSU on FLSs. NLRP3 was a target of miR-223-3p. Also, NLRP3 over-expression reversed the effects of miR-223-3p on MSU-induced FLSs. MiR-223-3p inhibited pyroptosis in MSU-induced rats and FLSs by targeting NLRP3.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the research progress and quality of lung cancer screening guidelines and consensus in China and abroad, and to provide reference for the formulation of high-quality lung cancer screening guidelines in China. Methods: Databases including PubMed, Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, SinoMed, VIP and Wanfang Data were searched, websites and important references were also searched by hand retrieval. The Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation Ⅱ(AGREE Ⅱ) and Reporting Items for Practice Guidelines in Healthcare (RIGHT) were used to assess the quality of newly published or updated guidelines and consensus. Results: A total of 9 guidelines and consensus published between 2015 and 2020 were included in this study, with countries including the United States, China, Canada, Saudi Arabia and South Africa. The field of scope and purpose and clarity of presentation scored relatively high but the rigor of development and applicability scored low. Five guidelines were judged to be A-level, all of which were published abroad, and the remaining four were B-level, including three guidelines and consensus issued by China and 1 guideline issued by South Africa. The report rate of RIGHT were higher in basic information and background, lower in review and quality assurance, funding and declaration and management of interests. There were 5 guidelines with a good level and 4 guidelines and consensus with a moderate level. The best overall quality guidelines were those published by the American College of Chest Physicians in 2018 and by the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care in 2016. Conclusions: The number of countries and institutions that issue lung cancer screening guidelines and consensus had been increasing gradually, but the quality in China remained low. It is necessary to develop high-quality lung cancer screening guidelines suitable for China's national conditions in combination with evidence-based methods to guide practice.

Abstract
Generally, impaired bones heal by bone repair and bone regeneration. These two processes are necessary during the healing period of dental implant. Vasculature plays a crucial role in bone healing because bones are highly vascularized tissue. Osteogenesis and angiogenesis are highly coupled processes and can be regulated by Hippo-YAP signaling pathway. Recent studies have demonstrated Hippo-YAP pathway may be regulated by alpha calcitonin gene-related peptide. However, the regulatory effects of αCGRP-YAP pathway on angiogenesis and osteogenesis during bone healing around implants remain unclear. Four groups of mice were established: KO Group: αCGRP -/- mice; KO + αCGRP group: αCGRP -/- mice with αCGRP overexpressing lentiviral transfection; KO + YAP group: αCGRP -/- mice with YAP overexpressing lentiviral transfection; WT group: wildtype mice. After 14 or 28 days, animals were sacrificed and tested. Results showed αCGRP deficiency hampered osteogenesis and angiogenesis. In addition, the impaired bone healing can be rescued by overexpressing αCGRP and YAP in αCGRP -/- mice. In-vivo results indicate αCGRP-YAP pathway promotes angiogenesis and osteogenesis in bone healing, especially at the early stage. Taken together, present study demonstrated αCGRP up-regulate the expression of YAP, and down-stream genes to promote the osteogenesis and angiogenesis around the implants.
