Abstract
Oral and maxillofacial space infections (OMSI) are common diseases of the facial region involving fascial spaces. Recently, OMSI shows trends of multi drug-resistance, severe symptoms, and increased mortality. OMSI treatment principles need to be updated to improve the cure rate. Based on the clinical experiences of Chinese experts and with the incorporation of international counterparts' expertise, the principles of preoperative checklist, interpretation of examination results, empirical medication principles, surgical treatment principles, postoperative drainage principles, prevention strategies of wisdom teeth pericoronitis-related OMSI, blood glucose management, physiotherapy principles, Ludwig's angina treatment and perioperative care were systematically summarized and an expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of OMSI was reached. The consensus aims to provide criteria for the diagnosis and treatment of OMSI in China so as to improve the level of OMSI treatment.

Transcriptome analysis of sheep follicular development during prerecruitment, dominant, and mature stages after FSH superstimulation. Domest Anim Endocrinol 2021; 74:106563. [PMID: 33129139 DOI: 10.1016/j.domaniend.2020.106563] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2020] [Revised: 07/08/2020] [Accepted: 09/08/2020] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
Sheep is usually a monovular animal; superovulation technology is used to increase the number of offspring per individual and shorten generation intervals. To date, mature FSH superstimulatory treatments have been successfully used in sheep breeding, but much remains unknown about genes, pathways, and biological functions involved in follicular development. Therefore, in this study, we performed transcriptome profiling of small follicles (SFs; 2-2.5 mm), medium follicles (MFs; 3.5-4.5 mm), and large follicles (LFs; > 6 mm) in Mongolian ewes after FSH superstimulation. Furthermore, we identified differentially expressed genes and performed Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway and Gene Ontology enrichment analyses in 3 separate pairwise comparisons. We found that ovarian steroidogenesis was significantly enriched in the SFs versus MFs analysis; the associated genes, cytochrome P450 family 19 (CYP19) and Hydroxy-delta-5-steroid dehydrogenase 3 beta- and steroid delta-isomerase 1 (HSD3B1), were significantly upregulated. Moreover, proline metabolism, glutathione metabolism, and PPAR signaling pathways were significantly enriched in the LFs versus SFs analysis; the associated genes, glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit (GCLM) and cystathionine gamma-lyase (CTH), were significantly upregulated, whereas peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) was significantly downregulated. In summary, our study provides basic data and possible biological direction to further explore the molecular mechanism of sheep follicular development after FSH superstimulation.

Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2020; 50:1131-1137.

Abstract
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is known for its high incidence, death rate, and relatively low 5-year survival. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to play a significant role in cancerization and cancer progression. However, research on the association of polymorphisms in these lncRNAs with the prognosis of OSCC is lacking. Fifteen functional single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in seven lncRNAs were selected to explore the relationship between these lncRNA SNPs and the prognosis among 209 OSCC patients. Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to examine the associations. Further functional exploration of significant SNPs was done by eQTL analysis. Using multivariate Cox hazards regression analysis, a predictive role of NEAT1 rs3741384 GG and UCA1 rs7255437 TC+TT in a worse prognosis of OSCC was identified. In addition, a marked increased risk of death was observed with an increasing number of unfavourable genotypes (NUG). The NUG was then incorporated with clinical variables in the receiver operating characteristic curve, and the results indicated a potential role of the NUG in predicting OSCC patient risk of death (area under the curve increase from 0.616 to 0.703). In conclusion, the study findings indicate that genetic variants rs3741384 in NEAT and rs7255437 in UCA1 may influence the survival of OSCC patients.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the accuracy of ultra-low-dose computed tomography (ULDCT) with ASiR-V using a noise index (SmartmA) for pulmonary nodule detection and Lung CT Screening Reporting And Data System (Lung-RADS) classifications compared with low-dose CT (LDCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Two-hundred and ten patients referred for lung cancer screening underwent conventional chest LDCT (0.80 ± 0.28 mSv) followed immediately by ULDCT (0.16 ± 0.03 mSv). ULDCT was scanned using 120 kV/SmartmA with a noise index of 28 HU and reconstructed with ASiR-V70%. The types and diameters of all nodules were recorded. The attenuation of pure ground-glass nodules (pGGNs) was measured on LDCT. All nodules were further classified using Lung-RADS. Sensitivities of nodule detection on ULDCT were analysed using LDCT as the reference standard. Logistic regression was used to establish a prediction model for the sensitivity of nodules. RESULTS LDCT revealed 362 nodules and the overall sensitivity on ULDCT was 90.1%. The sensitivity for solid nodules (SNs) of ≥1 mm diameter was 96.6% (228/236) and 100% (26/26) for SNs of ≥6 mm diameter. For pGGNs of ≥6 mm, the overall sensitivity was 93% (40/43) and 100% (29/29) for nodules with a attenuation value -700 HU or more. The agreement of Lung-RADS classification between two scans was good. On logistic regression, diameter was the only independent predictor for sensitivity of SNs (p<0.05). Diameter and attenuation value were predictors for pGGNs (p<0.05). CONCLUSION ULDCT with ASiR-V using SmartmA is suitable for lung-cancer screening in people with a BMI ≤35 kg/m2 as it has a low radiation dose of 0.16 mSv, high sensitivity for nodule detection and good performance of Lung-RADS classifications.

Abstract
Hypoxia and acidification in coastal waters are of global concern. However, the complex hydrodynamic processes and human interferences are major challenges for the diagnosis of their mechanism. The role of seasonal water masses involved still remains unknown. We herein investigated the dynamics of dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, inorganic and organic nutrients in the South Yellow Sea (SYS) in autumn, aiming for a better understanding of the biogeochemical processes of the Yellow Sea Cold Water (YSCW). Low DO, pH and organic nutrients were observed in the YSCW, while the apparent oxygen utilization and dissolved inorganic nutrients were relatively high. Quantitative assessment shows that although the water volume of the YSCW accounts for only 16.4% that of the SYS, the reservoirs of dissolved inorganic nitrogen, phosphate and silicate were 30.8%, 52.1% and 33.0%, respectively. Our results suggest that organic matter mineralization and water stratification are important driving forces for hypoxia, acidification and nutrient accumulation in the YSCW. The upwelling of the YSCW can bring abundant nutrients and stimulate the algal blooms, which are detrimental to the ecology. As global warming continues, the hypoxia and acidification in the YSCW will likely intensify in the near future in response to a projected slowdown of overturning circulation.

Abstract
Pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) have attracted increasing attention due to their large consumption volumes, high bioactivity and potential ecotoxicity. In this study, a total of 150 commonly used drugs were investigated in sediments of Jiaozhou Bay (JZB). Twenty-five target compounds were detected, of which ten were discovered for the first time in marine sediments. The range of total PhAC content was 3.62-21.4 ng/g dry weight. Ketoprofen (2.49 ng/g), oxytetracycline (1.00 ng/g) and roxithromycin (0.97 ng/g) were the preponderant PhACs. PhACs gradually decreased from east to west, and the distribution of PhACs in the sediment was controlled by the source channel, seawater dynamic process and sediment composition. The diatom, organic matter, and clay proportions in the sediments and the nutrients in the overlying water were the most important environmental factors affecting the distribution of PhACs. PhAC pollution in the sediments of the JZB exhibited an increasing trend. Coprostanol could be used as a chemical indicator of the PhAC concentration in JZB sediments. PhACs were mainly derived from direct pollution due to human fecal excretion in the eastern region. Ofloxacin, tetracycline and oxytetracycline were found to pose high or medium risks to aquatic organisms. It is necessary and urgent to improve the treatment technology of drug residues in sewage treatment plants to decrease the pollution of PhAC residues. With the continuous aging of the global population, the use of PhACs will increase rapidly, which may cause more unpredictable threats to the marine ecosystem. Therefore, the monitoring of PhACs in the marine environment needs to be strengthened, and studies on PhAC occurrence and effects must be considered a priority in global environmental research.

Abstract
Maxillary skeletal deficiency secondary to cleft lip and palate (CLP) remains a significant challenge. The aim of this study was to present the comprehensive skeletal, dental and facial aesthetic outcomes of anterior maxillary segmental distraction osteogenesis (AMSDO) for treatment of maxillary hypoplasia in patients with CLP. Twelve patients with maxillary hypoplasia treated with AMSDO by a customized tooth-borne distractor were included. Three-dimensional changes of anterior maxillary segment, upper incisor and pharyngeal space were measured by three-dimensional reconstruction derived from cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) data. Length and width of dental arch during distraction were determined in dental casts. Nasolabial angle, soft-tissue convexity and patient's subjective satisfaction were assessed to evaluate facial aesthetic improvements. Nasopharyngoscopic evaluation and speech assessment were also performed before and after distraction. All patients successfully received AMSDO without serious complications. Following AMSDO, the anterior maxillary segments moved forward 5.56±0.28mm and slightly upward 1.15±0.13mm. AMSDO significantly lengthened maxillary dental arch, generated new bone to relieve dental crowding and improved patients' facial aesthetic without worsening velopharyngeal closure and speech quality. AMSDO by tooth-borne distractor is an effective surgical alternative for the advancement in patients with cleft maxillary hypoplasia.

Abstract
Bisphosphonate (BP), a group of anti-resorptive drugs, has been widely used for the treatments of osteoporosis and metastatic bone diseases. Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), a serious well-recognized complication of patients receiving BP, adversely affects patients' oral health and quality of life. Its clinical signs include pain, bone exposure and necrosis of the jaws. Invasive oral treatments, which may affect the repair of jaws in patients using BP, could cause the occurrence of MRONJ. Therefore, it is important to avoid the risk factors of MRONJ and to standardize the operations in order to reduce the occurrence of MRONJ in oral treatments for patients receiving BP. After reviewing the related literature, this article aims to conclude the research progress on the standardized oral treatments of patients receiving BP and to provide clinical instructions for clinicians to treat these patients.

Abstract
Research on bacterial communities in seamounts is still in its infancy. Spatial variability of bacterial communities was investigated around M5 seamount of the Tropical Western Pacific Ocean. Our results revealed greater variability of bacterial communities vertically than horizontally. Bacterial diversity generally increased with depths within water column and the complexity increased with the sampling depths. All stations had water mass-specific bacterial community compositions, with distinct bacterial community structure between the bottom layer (being Actinobacteria and Firmicutes-dominant) and other layers (being Alphaproteobacteria-dominant), except the deepest B2 which showed gradual transition. Major orders tended to be distributed symmetrically at bilateral sides of the seamount with more differences occurring at section B than at section A, possibly due to the westward North Equatorial Current (NEC) along section B and reverse subcurrent, as well possible upwelling. Seamount exerted certain effect on bacterial horizontal distribution in the surrounding water mainly through topography-current interaction.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of sleep fragmentation on perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) and central neuroinflammation by simulating sleep patterns of postoperative patients with sleep fragmentation in aged mice. Methods: Thirty-two elderly ICR mice were randomly divided into four groups (n=8): normal group (C), surgery group (S), fragmented sleep group (F), and surgery+fragmented sleep group (D). Fragmented sleep was conducted after internal fixation of tibia fractures, cognitive function was evaluated by novel object recognition (NOR) and fear conditioning (FC) test, and changes in expression of inflammatory cytokines in hippocampus were detected by ELISA. Results: NOR test: the recognition index (RI) of mice in group C, group S, group F and group D was 0.69±0.07, 0.48±0.07, 0.54±0.10 and 0.50±0.12, respectively. The RI of mice in group S, group F and group D was significantly lower than that in group C (t=4.885, 3.521 and 4.433, all P<0.01). There was no significant difference in RI between group S and group D (t=0.967 1, P>0.05). Contextual FC test: the freezing time of mice in group C, group S, group F and group D was(21.34±6.48), (13.83±4.26), (11.50±6.25) and (6.17±4.77) s, respectively. The freezing time of mice in group S, group F and group D was significantly lower than that in group C (t=2.722, 3.566, 5.496, P<0.05 or P<0.01). The freezing time of mice in group D was significantly lower than that in group S (t=2.774, P<0.05). Cue FC test: the freezing time of mice in group C, group S, group F and group D was (74.36±17.09), (43.91±9.71), (46.34±13.43) and (24.90±14.21) s, respectively. The freezing time of mice in group S, group F and group D was significantly lower than that in group C (t=4.393, 4.043 and 7.136, all P<0.01). The freezing time of mice in group D was significantly lower than that in group S (t=2.743, P<0.05). The levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β in hippocampus of mice in group S, F and D were significantly higher than those in group C, while the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in hippocampus of mice in group D were significantly higher than those in group S, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion: Postoperative fragmented sleep aggravates postoperative cognitive impairment and increases the hippocampal neuroinflammation in aged mice.

Abstract
Fuzzy comprehensive assessment was applied, for the first time, to investigate the sediment environmental quality and compare the historical variations of heavy metal pollution in Daya Bay and Jiaozhou Bay, which are representative for sub-tropical and temperate zone of China, respectively. Results shown the Daya Bay had undergone three contrasting stages in the past 100 years. Before 1980s, the sediment was not contaminated by metals and its quality generally conformed to class I of China National Standard for marine sediment quality. During from 1980s to 2000s, however, Daya Bay's environment had experienced significant deterioration. The metal concentrations were significantly higher than the background values, suggesting that there was a sharp increase of metal input. The category of sediment quality fell to class II and class III. Copper was the dominant pollutant during that time. The good thing is sediment quality of Daya Bay has improved to class I since 2000s, and chromium turned to be the major pollutant. As for the Jiaozhou Bay, enrichment of heavy metal was generally not detected and the sediment quality strictly conformed to class I during the recent 90 years. Chromium and zinc were the major pollutants in this bay.

Abstract
The surface sediments from the Bohai Sea (BS) and the northern Yellow Sea (NYS) were analyzed for acid-volatile sulfide (AVS) and simultaneously extracted metals (SEM) to assess the sediment quality. The results indicated that >60% of the samples were found to have possible adverse effects on aquatic life in the BS based on the difference between the concentrations of AVS ([AVS]) and SEM ([SEM]), and the corresponding percentage in the NYS was <25%. Nevertheless, there was no indication of adverse effects for all the BS and the NYS samples when the total organic carbon (TOC) concentration was introduced in the sediment quality evaluation with [AVS] and [SEM]. The grain size composition, TOC, water content and pH all had significant influence on the distribution of [SEM] and the [SEM]/[AVS] ratios; while, in contrast, the distribution of [AVS] could be mainly determined by the redox condition of sediment.

Abstract
The spatial and temporal characteristics of nutrient concentrations and their influencing factors along longitude 73°E in Prydz Bay were explored. Nutrient concentrations gradually increased from the continental shelf to the open ocean in summer surface water, and the stable environment in the bay, the chlorophyll a and the ice melting were responsible for this distribution characteristic. There was also clear annual variation of nutrients in the surface water. Average concentrations of nutrients showed the highest values in 2010, while they were the lowest in 2009, which may be influenced by El Nino. In the vertical distribution, there were close relationships between chlorophyll a PO4-P, SiO3-Si, S, and NO3-N depths respectively. Moreover, the variation of water masses also influenced the distribution of nutrients. Overall, the spatial and temporal characteristics of nutrients were closely related to environmental change, and especially to the ice melting in the Prydz Bay.

Abstract
Thermal conductivity is an essential thermodynamic property in chemical engineering application. As a result, estimating the thermal conductivity of organic compounds is of significance in industry production. Alkyl halides are important organic intermediates and raw materials, but little investigations have been performed to estimate their thermal conductivity. In this study, the structures of compounds were optimized in Gaussian 09W and molecular descriptors were extracted by Dragon software. Finally, we developed a 6-descriptor linear quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) model to estimate the thermal conductivity of alkyl halides using the genetic function approximation (GFA) method. Validation proved that the developed model had goodness-of-fit, robustness and predictive ability. The r2pred and root-mean-square error (RMSEP) of prediction set for the model were equal to 0.9745 and 0.0035, respectively. Meanwhile, the applicability domain was visualized by means of the Williams plot. This study provides a new model for estimating the thermal conductivity of this important class of chemicals.

Abstract
Objective:The characteristics of pathological histological classification of nasal and paranasal sinuses malignant tumors in the past 10 years were analyzed, so as to provide possible basis, direction and ideas for the development of relevant effective treatment measures for nasal and paranasal sinuses malignant tumors in clinical practice. Method:The clinical data of patients with nasal and paranasal sinuses malignant tumors admitted to PLA general hospital from January 2009 to December 2018 were collected. Pathological types were retrospectively analyzed, and disease spectrum distribution, composition ratio and variation tendency of these patients were calculated. Result:Among the 463 patients, the overall pathological types in the top 5 were as follows: squamous cell carcinoma, adenoid cystadenocarcinoma, olfactory neuroblastoma, melanoma, adenocarcinoma. As for male patients, the pathological types in the top 5 were squamous cell carcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, olfactory neuroblastoma, adenocarcinoma, neuroendocrine carcinoma and rhabdomyosarcoma were tied for fifth; the top 5 most common pathological types in female patients were squamous cell carcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, melanoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, and adenocarcinoma. From 2009 to 2013, there were 183 patients with nasal and paranasal sinuses malignant tumors, the top 5 pathological types were squamous cell carcinoma, adenoid cystadenocarcinoma, olfactory neuroblastoma, melanoma, neuroendocrine carcinoma and rhabdomyosarcoma were tied for fifth; From 2014 to 2018, 280 patients with nasal and paranasal sinuses malignant tumors were diagnosed, the top 5 pathological types were squamous cell carcinoma, adenoid cystadenocarcinoma, melanoma, adenocarcinoma, and rhabdomyosarcoma. The ratio of the number of patients from 2009 to 2013 and 2014 to 2018 was about 0.65∶1. Malignant tumors of the nasal and paranasal sinuses tend to occur between the ages of 41 and 60, and the pathological types in the top 5 were squamous cell carcinoma,adenoid cystic carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, melanoma, neuroendocrine carcinoma. Conclusion:Malignant tumors of nasal cavity and sinus were more common in male, and the pathological types such as squamous cell carcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, olfactory neuroblastoma were more common. All age groups have the disease, but the age group of 41-60 years old is the high-risk group of nasal and nasal sinus malignant tumors. However, the incidence rate of melanoma has gradually increased in the past five years, which needs to be paid more attention to.

Biogeochemical characteristics and ecological risk assessment of pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) in the surface seawaters of Jiaozhou Bay, North China. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2019; 255:113247. [PMID: 31541839 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2019.113247] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2018] [Revised: 06/14/2019] [Accepted: 09/12/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
The occurrence and distribution of 168 pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) in the surface seawater of Jiaozhou Bay (JZB) were investigated using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography in tandem with a triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray ionization source (UHPLC-ESI-MS-MS). Thirty-six compounds were detected, and 17 of these compounds were first detected in seawater, including sulfabenzamide, sulphacetamide, cephalonium, desacetyl-cefotaxime, cefminox, cefotaxime, cephradine, cefazolin, carprofen, nabumetone, glibenclamide, glimepiride, glipizide, prednisone, fluoromethalone, diazepam and amantadine. The total concentration of PhACs in the surface seawater ranged from 23.6 ng/L to 217 ng/L. The compounds found at the highest mean concentrations included amantadine (24.7 ng/L), lincomycin (8.55 ng/L), carprofen (8.30 ng/L), and tetracycline (7.48 ng/L). The PhAC concentration was higher in the inner bay than in the outside of the bay. In the inner bay, the eastern district showed higher concentrations of PhACs than the western district. Input from the Licun River may be the primary source of pollution. A statistically significant positive correlation was observed between nutrients and PhACs in seawater. Phosphate can be used to indicate the distribution of PhACs in JZB. Based on the individual risk quotient (RQ) values, lincomycin and ofloxacin posed high risks to the relevant aquatic organisms in JZB, especially in the eastern parts. Regular monitoring is required to evaluate the levels of PhACs as they are constantly released into JZB.
