Abstract
BACKGROUND The Delphi consensus identified 8 symptoms and 8 consequences as the highest priorities for defining low anterior resection syndrome. OBJECTIVE To describe an exploratory scoring instrument correlating the Delphi consensus on low anterior resection syndrome with functional and quality-of-life scores following intersphincteric resection for ultralow rectal cancer. DESIGN This was a prospective pilot study. In accordance with the Wexner incontinence score, 5 frequency responses ranging from never (score 0) to always (score 4) were used to measure the severity of symptom- and consequence-specific variables. SETTINGS Colorectal surgery referral center. PATIENTS Among 161 eligible patients, 137 participants (85%) completed an electronic self-assessment survey regarding function and quality of life at scheduled follow-up, including 3 to 6, 12, and ≥24 months after ileostomy reversal. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Outcome measures included patient-reported severity of the identified priorities, and their correlation with condition-specific quality of life. RESULTS The most frequent symptom and consequence were "emptying difficulties" and "dissatisfaction with the bowels," respectively. Aside from "emptying difficulties," the proportions of negative symptom domains increased after reversal. In particular, neither the frequency responses nor the severity scores of "emptying difficulties" differed between groups. The percentages of "always" selection for consequence domains improved at 12-month follow-up, whereas a higher rate was observed at 24 months, except for "toilet dependence" and "dissatisfaction with the bowels." We found significant improvements in the summary score of the Fecal Incontinence Quality-of-Life Scale ( p = 0.04) and our exploratory instrument ( p = 0.009) but not in functional scores measured by traditional questionnaires. Furthermore, the condition-specific quality of life strongly correlated with the Delphi consensus severity score ( rs = -0.73). LIMITATIONS Single-institution data and limited sample size. CONCLUSIONS The important priorities identified by the Delphi consensus might enable a comprehensive overview and a better assessment of low anterior resection syndrome after intersphincteric resection.

EVALE LA GRAVEDAD DEL SNDROME DE RESECCIN ANTERIOR BAJA DESPUS DE LA RESECCIN INTERESFINTRICA PARA EL CNCER DE RECTO ULTRABAJO UN ESTUDIO PILOTO QUE UTILIZA UN INSTRUMENTO EXPLORATORIO ANTECEDENTES:El consenso Delphi identificó ocho síntomas y ocho consecuencias como las máximas prioridades para definir el síndrome de resección anterior baja.OBJETIVO:Describir un instrumento de puntuación exploratorio que correlaciona el consenso Delphi sobre el síndrome de resección anterior baja con puntuaciones funcionales y de calidad de vida después de la resección interesfinteriana para el cáncer de recto ultrabajo.DISEÑO:Este fue un estudio piloto prospectivo. De acuerdo con la puntuación de incontinencia de Wexner, se utilizaron cinco respuestas de frecuencia que van desde nunca (puntuación 0) hasta siempre (puntuación 4) para medir la gravedad de las variables específicas de los síntomas y las consecuencias.AJUSTES:Centro de referencia de cirugía colorrectal.PACIENTES:Entre 161 pacientes elegibles, 137 (85%) participantes completaron una encuesta electrónica de autoevaluación sobre la función y la calidad de vida en el seguimiento programado, incluidos 3 a 6, 12 y ≥ 24 meses después de la reversión de la ileostomía.MEDIDAS PRINCIPALES DE RESULTADO:Las medidas de resultado incluyeron la gravedad de estas prioridades informada por los pacientes, así como su correlación con la calidad de vida específica de la afección.RESULTADOS:El síntoma y la consecuencia más frecuentes fueron "dificultades para vaciar" e "insatisfacción con las deposiciones", respectivamente. Aparte de las "dificultades de vaciado", las proporciones de dominios de síntomas negativos aumentaron después de la reversión. En particular, tanto las respuestas de frecuencia como las puntuaciones de gravedad de las "dificultades para vaciar" no difirieron entre los grupos. Los porcentajes de "opción siempre" para los dominios de consecuencias mejoraron a los 12 meses de seguimiento, mientras que se observó una tasa más alta a los 24 meses después, excepto para "dependencia del baño" e "insatisfacción con los intestinos". Encontramos mejoras significativas en la puntuación resumida de la Escala de calidad de vida de incontinencia fecal ( p = 0,04) y nuestro instrumento exploratorio ( p = 0,009), pero no en las puntuaciones funcionales medidas con los cuestionarios tradicionales. Además, la calidad de vida específica de la condición se correlacionó fuertemente con la puntuación de gravedad del consenso Delphi (rs = -0,73).LIMITACIONES:Datos de una sola institución y tamaño de muestra limitado.CONCLUSIONES:Las importantes prioridades identificadas por el consenso Delphi podrían permitir una visión global y una mejor evaluación del síndrome de resección anterior baja después de la resección interesfintérica.

Abstract
Objective: To establish an intelligent registration algorithm under the framework of original-mirror alignment algorithm to construct three-dimensional(3D) facial midsagittal plane automatically. Dynamic Graph Registration Network (DGRNet) was established to realize the intelligent registration, in order to provide a reference for clinical digital design and analysis. Methods: Two hundred clinical patients without significant facial deformities were collected from October 2020 to October 2022 at Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology. The DGRNet consists of constructing the feature vectors of key points in point original and mirror point clouds (X, Y), obtaining the correspondence of key points, and calculating the rotation and translation by singular value decomposition. Original and mirror point clouds were registrated and united. The principal component analysis (PCA) algorithm was used to obtain the DGRNet alignment midsagittal plane. The model was evaluated based on the coefficient of determination (R2) index for the translation and rotation matrix of test set. The angle error was evaluated on the 3D facial midsagittal plane constructed by the DGRNet alignment midsagittal plane and the iterative closet point(ICP) alignment midsagittal plane for 50 cases of clinical facial data. Results: The average angle error of the DGRNet alignment midsagittal plane and ICP alignment midsagittal plane was 1.05°±0.56°, and the minimum angle error was only 0.13°. The successful detection rate was 78%(39/50) within 1.50° and 90% (45/50)within 2.00°. Conclusions: This study proposes a new solution for the construction of 3D facial midsagittal plane based on the DGRNet alignment method with intelligent registration, which can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of treatment to some extent.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the predictive value of cerebrospinal fluid melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) combined with other related biomarkers in preoperative cognitive dysfunction of elderly patients. Methods: A total of 80 patients who underwent elective hip or knee replacement under intravertebral anesthesia in Chifeng Municipal Hospital, Inner Mongolia, from March to November 2022 were prospectively included, with 32 males and 48 females, and aged 65-85 (70.7±5.2) years old. According to the evaluation results of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), patients were divided into the preoperative cognitive dysfunction (n=23) and control (n=57) groups. The levels of MCH, amyloid-β 40 (Aβ40), amyloid-β 42 (Aβ42), and phosphorylated tau protein (p-tau) in cerebrospinal fluid were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to evaluate the predictive value of each biomarker separately or in combination for preoperative cognitive dysfunction. Spearman's rank correlation analysis was utilized to test the correlation between the level of each biomarker and MoCA scores. Results: The levels of MCH, Aβ40, Aβ42, p-tau, and Aβ42/p-tau in the preoperative cognitive dysfunction group were (35.53±5.94) μg/L, (39.21±9.18) ng/L, (221.83±43.17) ng/L, (42.64±9.74) ng/L, and 5.53±1.92, and the levels of these biomarkers in the control group were (28.74±4.90) μg/L, (36.37±7.87) ng/L, (280.23±45.67) ng/L, (35.00±9.27) ng/L, and 8.62±2.78, respectively. Compared with the control group, the levels of cerebrospinal fluid MCH and p-tau in the preoperative cognitive dysfunction group were significantly increased (all P<0.01), and the levels of Aβ42 and Aβ42/p-tau were significantly decreased (all P<0.001). MCH and Aβ42/p-tau provided higher predictive values. The area under the curve (AUC) of MCH and Aβ42/p-tau were 0.807 (95%CI: 0.703-0.911) and 0.842 (95%CI: 0.741-0.943), the sensitivity were 78.3% and 87.0%, and the specificity were 75.4% and 94.7%. MCH combined with Aβ42/p-tau have the higher AUC of 0.915 (95%CI: 0.837-0.992), the sensitivity (87.0%) and specificity (86.0%) were both high, which had a higher predictive value. The levels of cerebrospinal fluid MCH and p-tau were negatively correlated with MoCA score (r=-0.467, -0.321, all P<0.01), and the levels of Aβ42 and Aβ42/p-tau were positively correlated with MoCA score (r=0.480, 0.520, all P<0.001). Conclusion: The increase in cerebrospinal fluid MCH levels is associated with preoperative cognitive dysfunction in elderly patients. MCH combined with Aβ42/p-tau has the greatest predictive value.

Abstract
Compared with traditional genetic markers, genomic approaches have proved valuable to the conservation of endangered species. Paeonia ludlowii having rarely and pure yellow flowers, is one of the world's most famous tree peonies. However, only several wild populations remain in the Yarlung Zangbo Valley (Nyingchi and Shannan regions, Xizang) in China due to increasing anthropogenic impact on the natural habitats. We used genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms to elucidate the spatial pattern of genetic variation, population structure and demographic history of P. ludlowii from the fragmented region comprising the entire range of this species, aiming to provide a basis for conserving the genetic resources of this species. Unlike genetic uniformity among populations revealed in previous studies, we found low but varied levels of intra-population genetic diversity, in which lower genetic diversity was detected in the population in Shannan region compared to those in Nyingzhi region. These spatial patterns may be likely associated with different population sizes caused by micro-environment differences in these two regions. Additionally, low genetic differentiation among populations (Fst = 0.0037) were detected at the species level. This line of evidence, combined with the result of significant genetic differentiation between the two closest populations and lack of isolation by distance, suggested that shared ancestry among now remnant populations rather than contemporary genetic connectivity resulted in subtle population structure. Demographic inference suggested that P. ludlowii probably experienced a temporal history of sharp population decline during the period of Last Glacial Maximum, and a subsequent bottleneck event resulting from prehistoric human activities on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. All these events, together with current habitat fragment and excavation might contribute to the endangered status of P. ludlowii. Our study improved the genetic characterization of the endangered tree peony (P. ludlowii) in China, and these genetic inferences should be considered when making different in situ and ex situ conservation actions for P. ludlowii in this evolutionary hotspot region.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the mortality trend and characteristics of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) among residents in China from 2004 to 2020. Methods: From the area, gender, region, and age dimensions, the Joinpoint regression model was used to analyze the trend of COPD mortality rate from 2004 to 2020, extracted from the China Death Surveillance Dataset. Results: From 2004 to 2020, the mortality rate and age-adjusted mortality rate of COPD showed a downward trend (AAPC=-3.68%, P<0.001; AAPC=-7.27%, P<0.001), which were consistent with urban and rural subpopulations (mortality rate: AAPC=-3.62%, P=0.009, AAPC=-3.23%, P=0.014; age-adjusted mortality rate: AAPC=-7.26%, P<0.001, AAPC=-6.78%, P<0.001). The mortality rate of COPD in rural was higher than that of urban subpopulations (P<0.001). Also, the mortality rate and age-adjusted mortality rate of COPD showed a downward trend in males and females (mortality rate: AAPC=-3.00%, P<0.001, AAPC=-4.37%, P<0.001; age-adjusted mortality rate: AAPC=-6.73%, P<0.001, AAPC=-8.11%, P<0.001), and the COPD mortality rate for male was generally higher than female (P<0.001). Meanwhile, the mortality rate of COPD in eastern, central and western regions also showed a downward trend (AAPC=-3.87%, P<0.001; AAPC=-3.12%, P<0.001; AAPC=-1.37%, P=0.001), and western regions were significantly higher than that in central (P<0.001) and eastern (P<0.001) regions. The mortality rate of COPD in the age group of Chinese people showed a downward trend in<45, 45-59, and≥60 years groups (AAPC=-9.48%, P<0.001; AAPC=-9.03%, P<0.001; AAPC=-5.91%, P<0.001). Among them,≥60 years groups was significantly higher than that in<45 (P<0.001) and 45-59 (P<0.001) years groups, and the decline rate was slowest. Conclusion: In China, the mortality rate of COPD decreases from 2004 to 2020, and more efforts are needed to reduce COPD mortality, especially in western regions, rural populations, males and the elderly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intersphincteric resection is the ultimate sphincter-preserving surgical technique for ultralow rectal cancer, but quality-of-life changes after surgery remain unclear. It is also unknown which questionnaire has better associations with functional results for capturing clinical variation in quality of life. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess change in the quality of life and its correlation with functional outcomes among patients undergoing intersphincteric resection for ultralow rectal cancer. DESIGN This was a prospective, observational, single-center study. SETTINGS Colorectal surgery referral center. PATIENTS Patients with ultralow rectal cancer who underwent intersphincteric resection were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcomes were quality-of-life and functional results at 3 to 6, 12, and 24 months after ileostomy closure using validated questionnaires. The secondary outcome was the relationship between quality of life and neorectal function. RESULTS A total of 102 patients (62.7% men) completed follow-up surveys. Wexner incontinence score and Kirwan's incontinence score significantly improved at 12 months after ileostomy reversal, but such improvement in low anterior resection syndrome score was proved until 24 months later ( p = 0.01). Condition-specific quality-of-life domains improved over time, with significant changes in lifestyle ( p = 0.02) and coping/behavior ( p = 0.01), as well as the summary score of Fecal Incontinence Quality of Life ( p = 0.02) and visual analog scale score ( p < 0.001). Among health-related quality-of-life domains, the subscale scores did not differ significantly. The functional systems scores were significantly correlated with all the domains of condition-specific quality-of-life but only a few health-related quality-of-life domains. Only weak to moderate associations with the functional outcomes were observed for both quality-of-life questionnaires. LIMITATIONS Single-center data and limited sample size. CONCLUSIONS Although low anterior resection syndrome persists for years after intersphincteric resection, condition-specific quality of life and functional outcomes improve over time. Compared to health-related quality-of-life questionnaires, condition-specific quality-of-life instruments might be preferable to evaluate changes in quality-of-life after surgery.

La puntuación de incontinencia de Wexner y la puntuación de incontinencia de Kirwan mejoraron significativamente a los 12 meses después del cierre de la ileostomía, pero dicha mejoría en la puntuación del síndrome de resección anterior baja se demostró solo hasta 24 meses después ( p = 0,01). Las condiciones en el dominio de la calidad de vida específicos mejoraron con el tiempo, con cambios significativos en el estilo de vida ( p = 0,02) y el afrontamiento/comportamiento ( p = 0,01), así como la puntuación general de la calidad de vida y de la incontinencia fecal ( p = 0,02), puntuación de la escala analógica visual ( p < 0,001). Entre los dominios de la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud, las puntuaciones de las sub-escalas no difirieron significativamente. Las puntuaciones de los sistemas funcionales se correlacionaron significativamente con todos los dominios de la calidad de vida específica de la nueva condición, pero solo con pocos dominios de calidad de vida relacionados con la salud. Solo se observaron asociaciones débiles a moderadas con los resultados funcionales para ambos cuestionarios de calidad de vida.LIMITACIONES:Datos de un solo centro y tamaño de muestra limitado.CONCLUSIONES:Aunque el síndrome de resección anterior baja persiste durante años después de la resección interesfintérica, la calidad de vida específica de la nueva condición y los resultados funcionales mejoran con el tiempo. En comparación con los cuestionarios de calidad de vida relacionados con la salud, los instrumentos de calidad de vida específicos de la nueva condición pueden ser preferibles para evaluar los cambios en la calidad de vida después de la cirugía.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ceratostigma, a genus in the Plumbaginaceae, is an ecologically dominant group of shrubs, subshrub and herb mainly distributed in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and North China. Ceratostigma has been the focal group in several studies, owing to their importance in economic and ecological value and unique breeding styles. Despite this, the genome information is limited and interspecific relationships within the genus Cerotastigma remains unexplored. Here we sequenced, assembled and characterized the 14 plastomes of five species, and conducted phylogenetic analyses of Cerotastigma using plastomes and nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) data. RESULTS Fourteen Cerotastigma plastomes possess typical quadripartite structures with lengths from 164,076 to 168,355 bp that consist of a large single copy, a small single copy and a pair of inverted repeats, and contain 127-128 genes, including 82-83 protein coding genes, 37 transfer RNAs and eight ribosomal RNAs. All plastomes are highly conservative and similar in gene order, simple sequence repeats (SSRs), long repeat repeats and codon usage patterns, but some structural variations in the border of single copy and inverted repeats. Mutation hotspots in coding (Pi values > 0.01: matK, ycf3, rps11, rps3, rpl22 and ndhF) and non-coding regions (Pi values > 0.02: trnH-psbA, rps16-trnQ, ndhF-rpl32 and rpl32-trnL) were identified among plastid genomes that could be served as potential molecular markers for species delimitation and genetic variation studies in Cerotastigma. Gene selective pressure analysis showed that most protein-coding genes have been under purifying selection except two genes. Phylogenetic analyses based on whole plastomes and nrDNA strongly support that the five species formed a monophyletic clade. Moreover, interspecific delimitation was well resolved except C. minus, individuals of which clustered into two main clades corresponding to their geographic distributions. The topology inferred from the nrDNA dataset was not congruent with the tree derived from the analyses of the plastid dataset. CONCLUSION These findings represent the first important step in elucidating plastome evolution in this widespread distribution genus Cerotastigma in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The detailed information could provide a valuable resource for understanding the molecular dynamics and phylogenetic relationship in the family Plumbaginaceae. Lineage genetic divergence within C. minus was perhaps promoted by geographic barriers in the Himalaya and Hengduan Mountains region, but introgression or hybridization could not be completely excluded.

Abstract
Objective: To explore an automatic landmarking method for anatomical landmarks in the three-dimensional (3D) data of the maxillary complex and preliminarily evaluate its reproducibility and accuracy. Methods: From June 2021 to December 2022, spiral CT data of 31 patients with relatively normal craniofacial morphology were selected from those who visited the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology. The sample included 15 males and 16 females, with the age of (33.3±8.3) years. The maxillary complex was reconstructed in 3D using Mimics software, and the resulting 3D data of the maxillary complex was mesh-refined using Geomagic software. Two attending physicians and one associate chief physician manually landmarked the 31 maxillary complex datasets, determining 24 anatomical landmarks. The average values of the three expert landmarking results were used as the expert-defined landmarks. One case that conformed to the average 3D morphological characteristics of healthy individuals' craniofacial bones was selected as the template data, while the remaining 30 cases were used as target data. The open-source MeshMonk program (a non-rigid registration algorithm) was used to perform an initial alignment of the template and target data based on 4 landmarks (nasion, left and right zygomatic arch prominence, and anterior nasal spine). The template data was then deformed to the shape of the target data using a non-rigid registration algorithm, resulting in the deformed template data. Based on the unchanged index property of homonymous landmarks before and after deformation of the template data, the coordinates of each landmark in the deformed template data were automatically retrieved as the automatic landmarking coordinates of the homonymous landmarks in the target data, thus completing the automatic landmarking process. The automatic landmarking process for the 30 target data was repeated three times. The root-mean-square distance (RMSD) of the dense corresponding point pairs (approximately 25 000 pairs) between the deformed template data and the target data was calculated as the deformation error of the non-rigid registration algorithm, and the intra-class correlation efficient (ICC) of the deformation error in the three repetitions was analyzed. The linear distances between the automatic landmarking results and the expert-defined landmarks for the 24 anatomical landmarks were calculated as the automatic landmarking errors, and the ICC values of the 3D coordinates in the three automatic landmarking repetitions were analyzed. Results: The average three-dimensional deviation (RMSD) between the deformed template data and the corresponding target data for the 30 cases was (0.70±0.09) mm, with an ICC value of 1.00 for the deformation error in the three repetitions of the non-rigid registration algorithm. The average automatic landmarking error for the 24 anatomical landmarks was (1.86±0.30) mm, with the smallest error at the anterior nasal spine (0.65±0.24) mm and the largest error at the left oribital (3.27±2.28) mm. The ICC values for the 3D coordinates in the three automatic landmarking repetitions were all 1.00. Conclusions: This study established an automatic landmarking method for three-dimensional data of the maxillary complex based on a non-rigid registration algorithm. The accuracy and repeatability of this method for landmarking normal maxillary complex 3D data were relatively good.

Abstract
Objective: To provide a new solution for the digital design of nasal prostheses, this study explores the three-dimensional (3D) facial morphology completion method for external nasal defects based on the non-rigid registration process of 3D face template. Methods: A total of 20 male patients with tooth defect and dentition defect who visited the Department of Prosthodontics, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from June to December 2022 were selected, age 18-45 years old. The original 3D facial data of patients were collected, and the 3D facial data of the external nose defect was constructed in Geomagic Wrap 2021 software. Using the structured 3D face template data constructed in the previous research of the research group, the 3D face template was deformed and registered to the 3D facial data of external nose defect (based on the morphology of non-defective area) by non-rigid registration algorithm (MeshMonk program), and the personalized deformed data of the 3D face template was obtained, as the complemented facial 3D data. Based on the defect boundary of the 3D facial data of the external nose defect, the complemented external nose 3D data can be cut out from the complemented facial 3D data. Then the nasofacial angle and nasolabial angle of the complemented facial 3D data and the original 3D facial data was compared and analyzed, the ratio between the nose length and mid-face height, nose width and medial canthal distance of the complemented facial 3D data was measured, the edge fit between the edge curve of the complemented external nose 3D data and the defect edge curve of the 3D facial data of external nose defect was evaluated, and the morphological difference of the nose between the complemented external nose 3D data and the original 3D facial data was analyzed. Results: There was no significant statistically difference (t=-0.23, P=0.823; Z=-1.72, P=0.086) in the nasofacial angle (28.2°±2.9°, 28.4°±3.5° respectively) and nasolabial angle [95.4°(19.2°), 99.9°(9.5°) respectively] between the 20 original 3D facial data and the complemented facial 3D data. The value of the ratio of nose length to mid-face height in the complemented facial 3D data was 0.63±0.03, and the value of the ratio of nose width to medial canthal distance was 1.07±0.08. The curve deviation (root mean square value) between the edge curve of the complemented external nose 3D data and the defect edge curve of the 3D facial data of external nose defect was (0.37±0.09) mm, the maximum deviation was (1.14±0.32) mm, and the proportion of the curve deviation value within±1 mm was (97±3)%. The distance of corresponding nose landmarks between the complemented facial 3D data and the original 3D facial data were respectively, Nasion: [1.52(1.92)] mm; Pronasale: (3.27±1.21) mm; Subnasale: (1.99±1.09) mm; Right Alare: (2.64±1.34) mm; Left Alare: (2.42± 1.38) mm. Conclusions: The method of 3D facial morphology completion of external nose defect proposed in this study has good feasibility. The constructed complemented external nose 3D data has good facial coordination and edge fit, and the morphology is close to the nose morphology of the original 3D facial data.

Abstract
Objective: To explore a method for digitally designing and fabricating a sequential tooth-sectioning guide that can assist in the extraction of mandibular horizontal impacted third molars, preliminarily evaluate its feasibility and provide a reference for clinical application. Methods: Twenty patients with mandibular low level impacted third molars who visited the Department of General Dentistry, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from March 2021 to January 2022 were selected. Cone-beam CT showed direct contact between the roots and mandibular canal, and full range impressions of the patients' intraoral teeth were taken and optical scans of the dental model were performed. The patients' cone-beam CT data and optical scan data were reconstructed in three dimensions, anatomical structure extraction, registration fusion, and the design of the structure of the guide (including crown-sectioning guide and root-sectioning guide) by Mimics 24.0, Geomagic Wrap 2021, and Magics 21.0 software, and then the titanium guide was three dimension printed, and the guide was tried on the dental model. After confirmation, the guide was used to assist the dentist in the operation. We observed whether the guide was in place, the number of tooth splitting, the matching of tooth splitting with the preoperative design, the operation time, and whether there were any complications. Results: In this study, 20 sectioning guides were successfully printed, all of them were well fitted in the patients' mouth, the average number of section was 3.4 times, the tooth parts was better matched with the preoperative design, and the average operative time of the guides was (29.2±9.8) minutes without complications such as perforation of the bone cortex. Conclusions: The use of sequential sectioning guides to assist in the extraction of mandibular impacted third molars was initially validated to accurately replicate the preoperative sectioning design, and is expected to provide a digital solution to improve surgical precision and ensure safety. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to evaluate its accuracy and safety.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical phenotype and genetic characteristics of disorders of sex development (DSD) caused by Y chromosome copy number variant (CNV). Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 3 patients diagnosed with DSD caused by Y chromosome CNV admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January, 2018 to September, 2022. Clinical data were collected. Clinical study and genetic test were performed by karyotyping, whole exome sequencing (WES), low coverage whole genome copy number variant sequencing (CNV-seq), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and gonadal biopsy. Results: The 3 children, aged 12, 9, 9 years, the social gender were all female, presented with short stature, gonadal dysplasia and normal female external genital. No other phenotypic abnormality was found except for case 1 with scoliosis. The karyotype of all cases were identified as 46, XY. No pathogenic vraiants were found by WES. CNV-seq determined that case 1 was 47, XYY,+Y(2.12) and case 2 was 46, XY,+Y(1.6). FISH concluded that the long arm of Y chromosome was broken and recombined near Yq11.2, and then produced a pseudodicentric chromosome idic(Y). The karyotype was reinterpreted as mos 47, X, idic(Y)(q11.23)×2(10)/46, X, idic(Y)(q11.23)(50) in case 1. The karyotype was redefined as 45, XO(6)/46, X, idic(Y)(q11.22)(23)/46, X, del(Y)(q11.22)(1) in case 2. 46, XY, -Y(mos) was found by CNV-seq in case 3, and the karyotype of 45, XO/46, XY was speculated. Conclusions: The clinical manifestations of children with DSD caused by Y chromosome CNV are short stature and gonadal dysgenesis. If there is an increase of Y chromosome CNV detected by CNV-seq, FISH is recommended to classify the structural variation of Y chromosome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To quantitatively evaluate the trueness of five chairside three-dimensional facial scanning techniques, and to provide reference for the application of oral clinical diagnosis and treatment. METHODS The three-dimensional facial data of the subjects were collected by the traditional professional three-dimensional facial scanner Face Scan, which was used as the reference data of this study. Four kinds of portable three-dimensional facial scanners (including Space Spider, LEO, EVA and DS-FScan) and iPhone Ⅹ mobile phone (Bellus3D facial scanning APP) were used to collect three-dimensional facial data from the subjects. In Geomagic Studio 2013 software, through data registration, deviation analysis and other functions, the overall three-dimensional deviation and facial partition three-dimensional deviation of the above five chairside three-dimensional facial scanning technologies were calculated, and their trueness performance evaluated. Scanning time was recorded during the scanning process, and the subject's comfort was scored by visual analogue scale(VAS). The scanning efficiency and patient acceptance of the five three-dimensional facial scanning techniques were evaluated. RESULTS DS-FScan had the smallest mean overall and mean partition three-dimensional deviation between the test data and the reference data, which were 0.334 mm and 0.329 mm, respectively. The iPhone Ⅹ mobile phone had the largest mean overall and mean partition three-dimensional deviation between the test data and the reference data, which were 0.483 mm and 0.497 mm, respectively. The detailed features of the three-dimensional facial data obtained by Space Spider were the best. The iPhone Ⅹ mobile phone had the highest scanning efficiency and the highest acceptance by the subject. The average scanning time of the iPhone Ⅹ mobile phone was 14 s, and the VAS score of the subjects' scanning comfort was 9 points. CONCLUSION Among the five chairside three-dimensional face scanning technologies, the trueness of the scan data of the four portable devices had no significant difference, and they were all better than the iPhone Ⅹ mobile phone scan. The subject with the iPhone Ⅹ scanning technology had the best expe-rience.

Abstract
The H9N2 subtype avian influenza virus can infect both chickens and humans. Previous studies have reported a role for erythrocytes in immunity. However, the role of H9N2 against chicken erythrocytes and the presence of complement-related genes in erythrocytes has not been studied. This research investigated the effect of H9N2 on complement-associated gene expression in chicken erythrocytes. The expression of complement-associated genes (C1s, C1q, C2, C3, C3ar1, C4, C4a, C5, C5ar1, C7, CD93 and CFD) was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Quantitative Real-Time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to analyse the differential expression of complement-associated genes in chicken erythrocytes at 0 h, 2 h, 6 h and 10 h after the interaction between H9N2 virus and chicken erythrocytes in vitro and 3, 7 and 14 d after H9N2 virus nasal infection of chicks. Expression levels of C1q, C4, C1s, C2, C3, C5, C7 and CD93 were significantly up-regulated at 2 h and significantly down-regulated at 10 h. Gene expression levels of C1q, C3ar1, C4a, CFD and C5ar1 were seen to be different at each time point. The expression levels of C1q, C4, C1s, C2, C3, C5, C7, CFD, C3ar1, C4a and C5ar1 were significantly up-regulated at 7 d and the gene expression of levels of C3, CD93 and C5ar1 were seen to be different at each time point. The results confirmed that all the complement-associated genes were expressed in chicken erythrocytes and showed the H9N2 virus interaction with chicken erythrocytes and subsequent regulation of chicken erythrocyte complement-associated genes expression. This study reported, for the first time, the relationship between H9N2 and complement system of chicken erythrocytes, which will provide a foundation for further research into the prevention and control of H9N2 infection.

Abstract
Ben Cao Tu Jing had 38 materia medica illustrations related to the regional names in Zhejiang province. It was found that 30 of them were identified as being named after regional names in Zhejiang province, involving 20 families and 29 genera. One of the 38 materia medica illustrations was mineral medicine and seven of them were unverified. The twenty-five of these materia medica illustrations with regional names were found to be consistent with their names used today. Five of them came from similar names in Zhejiang province in the Northern Song Dynasty, another five of the 25 names were known with the names but not entity for the lack of full descriptions and drawings. It was found that the drawing and the text of "Ming Zhou Huang Yao" and "Qin Zhou Hong Yao" in Ben Cao Tu Jing were reversed. By comparing the materia medica illustrations related to regional names in Da Guan Ben Cao by Liu Jia and Zheng He Ben Cao by Zhang Huicun, the name and the illustration of "Jin Zhou Bei Mu" in Zheng He Ben Cao by Zhang Huicun was more believable than "Yue Zhou Bei Mu" in Da Guan Ben Cao by Liu Jia. "Tai Zhou Wu Yao" and "Zhe Ba Wei", as genuine medicinal materials in Zhejiang, can be traced back to the illustrations of "Tai Zhou Wu Yao", "Yue Zhou Bai Zhu", "Mu Zhou Mai Dong", "Wen Zhou Peng 'e Shu", "Yue Zhou Bei Mu" and "Tian Tai Wu Yao" in Ben Cao Tu Jing. These findings provided text and drawing literature of herbs in the Song Dynasty for the research of genuine medicinal materials and their characteristics in Zhejiang province. They also showed that the utilization and development of the resources of traditional Chinese medicine in Zhejiang in the Northern Song Dynasty mainly focused on the coastal areas.

Abstract
Objectives: To study the design of nonmetallic crowns for deciduous molars by means of computer aided design and to analyze the key parameters of the nonmetallic crowns of deciduous molars using finite element method. Methods: The three-dimensional model of a mandibular second primary molar was constructed by using a micro-CT system. The thickness of the crown was limited to 0.5 mm and four different crown shapes (chamfer+anatomic, chamfer+non-anatomic, knife edge+anatomic and knife edge+non-anatomic) were designed. Then, the crown shape was limited as chamfer+non-anatomic and five different thicknesses of the crown (0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, 1.50 mm) were designed, and three different materials, including polyetherketoneketone (PEKK), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) resin and resin-infiltrated ceramic, were applied to make the crown. Stress distribution and fatigue of each component of the model under vertical and oblique loadings were analyzed by using finite element method. Non-axial retention analysis was performed on chamfer+non-anatomic crowns, made of PMMA resin, with thicknesses of 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25 and 1.50 mm. Results: Among the four crown shape designs, the chamfer+non-anatomic type crown showed the lowest von Mises stress and the highest safety factor. By comparing three different materials, the resin-infiltrated ceramic group showed obvious stress concentration on the buccal edge of the crown and the PEKK group showed stress concentration in the adhesive layer. Results of non-axial retention analysis showed that the torques required by the crowns with five thicknesses at the same rotation angle were as follows: 4 856.1, 4 038.1, 3 497.3, 3 256.3 and 3 074.3 N⋅m, respectively. The comparison of areas of the adhesives fracture among groups were as follows: 0.5 mm group < 0.75 mm group < 1.00 mm group < 1.25 mm group < 1.50 mm group. Conclusions: In the design of nonmetallic crowns for primary molars, the edge of the crown should be designed as chamfer, the shape of the inner crown should be non-anatomical and the minimum preparation amount of the occlusal surface should be 1.00 mm. Among the three materials, PMMA resin, of which elastic modulus is similar to the dentin and the dental adhesive, might be the most suitable material for the crowns of primary molars.

Abstract
A total of 568 paintings of herbaceous plants and woody plants as medicine were involved in Ben Cao Tu Jing, accounting for 60% of the total drug illustrations and 76% of the botanical medicine paintings. These medicinal paintings can be classified into four types: original plant paintings, medicinal material paintings, plant and medicinal material paintings, and plant and their habitat paintings. The original plant paintings can be specifically divided into five sections: the whole plant paintings with roots, partial aerial part paintings with roots, plant paintings with ground lines, rootless plant paintings, and broken branch paintings. Among them, the drawings of " the broken branch paintings " and " the whole plant paintings with roots " are consistent with the basic principles of collecting plant specimens. Additionally, "the plant and medicinal material paintings " and "the medicinal material paintings "reflect that they were drawn based on the market survey of medicinal materials or collected medicinal materials specimens. These medicine painting demonstrate rich characteristics of medicinal plants and medicinal materials and a high artistic quality with realistic details.These paintings in Ben Cao Tu Jing echoes Tu Jing, combine the art of painting with the cognition ofnatural science, as the rudiment of early paintings of plant science.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness of loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay and microscopic examinations for detection of Schistosoma japonicum infections in Oncomelania hupensis in transmission-interrupted regions, so as to provide insights into the optimization of snail surveillance tools in these regions. METHODS Four hilly schistosomiasis-endemic villages where transmission interruption was achieved were selected in Heqing County of Yunnan Province as the study villages, including Xinzhuang and Gule villages in hilly regions and Lianyi and Yitou villages in dam regions. Snail survey was performed by means of systematic sampling combined with environmental sampling in July 2018. All captured snails were identified for S. japonicum infections using microscopy. In addition, 10 to 20 snails were randomly sampled from each snail habitat following microscopy, numbered according to environments and subjected to LAMP assay. The positive rate of settings with S. japonicum-infected snails was compared among villages. RESULTS A total of 7 949 living snails were captured from 83 snail habitats in 4 villages, and no S. japonicum infection was detected in snails. There were 226 mixed samples containing 1 786 snails subjected to LAMP assay, and positive LAMP assay was found in 3 mixed samples from 3 snail habitats in 2 dam villages. The positive rates of settings with S. japonicum-infected snails were comparable between Lianyi Village (one setting) and Yitou Village (2 set tings) (5.89% vs. 14.29%, P = 0.344). However, the overall positive rate of settings with S. japonicum-infected snails was significantly higher in dam villages (9.67%, 3/31) than in hilly villages (0) (P = 0.048). CONCLUSIONS LAMP assay is more sensitive to detect S. japonicum infections in O. hupensis than conventional microcopy method, which may serve as a supplementary method for detection of S. japonicum infections in O. hupensis in high-risk snail habitats in hilly transmission-interrupted regions.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics of chronic total coronary occlusion (CTO) combined with bifurcation lesions and the features of coronary intervention and perioperative complications. Methods: This study adopted retrospective cross-sectional research methods and included 673 patients who underwent interventional therapy for chronic total occlusion in Beijing Anzhen Hospital. According to whether there were side branches (diameter ≥2 mm) within 5 mm before and after the CTO occlusion segment, patients were divided into bifurcation group (337 cases) and non-bifurcation group (336 cases). The measurement data did not conform to the normal distribution and were represented as M (Q1, Q3). The clinical risk factors, coronary angiography characteristics, interventional treatment strategies and perioperative complications were compared between the two groups. Results: The patients in the bifurcation group were 60 (51, 65) years old, and 86.6% (292 cases) were male; the patients in the non-bifurcation group were 60 (52, 66) years old, and 83.0% (279 cases) were male.Coronary artery disease in all patients was mainly multivessel disease, of which three-vessel disease accounted for 59.9% (403 cases) and double-vessel disease accounted for 25.4% (171 cases).The target vessel in the bifurcation group was predominantly left anterior descending artery (62.3%, 210 cases), and the target vessel in the non-bifurcation group was more common in the right coronary artery (56%, 188 cases). The target vessel diameter was larger in the bifurcation group (2.91(2.71, 3.24) mm vs 2.80(2.55, 3.13) mm, P<0.001). Most patients used the antegrade technique (88%, 592 cases), and the use of antegrade technique in the bifurcation group (91.9%, 307 cases) was higher than that in the non-bifurcation group (84.8%, 285 cases) (P=0.012). After CTO-PCI, 72.8% (490 cases) of patients achieved successful angiography. A total of 73 patients (10.8%) had perioperative complications, and there was no statistical difference between the two groups. However, the incidence of perioperative myocardial infarction was higher in the bifurcation group (5.9%, 20 cases) than non-bifurcation group (2.7%, 9 cases) (P=0.038). Conclusions: CTO complicated with bifurcation lesions are very common in clinical practice. Most patients with CTO have multiple coronary artery disease at the same time. The target vessel is more common in the left anterior descending artery, and the diameter of the vessel is larger. It is more common to use antergrade technique, accompanied by more perioperative myocardial infarctions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Emerging evidence suggests that long non coding RNA (lncRNA) small nucleolar RNA host gene 4 (SNHG4) has become a new insight into lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced microglia inflammation, its role in neonatal pneumonia (NP) remains to be largely unrevealed. METHODS RT-qPCR was used to determine the expression of SNHG4 and METTL3 in the serum from NP patients and normal volunteers, as well as in LPS treated-WI-38 cells. The SNHG4 overexpression vector (pcDNA-SNHG4) was transfected into LPS-treated cells. CCK-8, Transwell, annexin V-FITC/PI, ELISA and Western blot assays were used to determine cell proliferation, migration, apoptosis, contents of IL-6, TNF-α, SOD and MDA, as well as the expression levels of NF-κB pathway proteins, respectively. The enrichment of SNHG4 in the METTL3 promoter region was assessed with RIP assay. m6A quantitative analysis illustrated the m6A level with or without SNHG4 overexpression or METTL3 silencing. Bioinformatics analysis and RIP-PCR were used to predict and validate YTHDF1-mediated m6A levels on signal transducer and activator of transcription 2 (STAT2) mRNA in METTL3 inhibited cells. Then rescue experiments were performed to explore effects of SNHG4 and METTL3 or STAT2 on LPS-treated cell functions. Subsequently, in vivo functional experiments were performed to investigate the role of SNHG4 in LPS induced pneumonia in mice. RESULTS SNHG4 was downregulated, and METTL3 was upregulated in NP patients and LPS-treated cells. SNHG4 overexpression facilitated cell proliferation, migration and SOD concentration, as well as inhibited cell apoptosis and production of IL-6, TNF-α and MDA, and suppressed the expression of NF-κB pathway proteins. Mechanistically, SNHG4 bound with METTL3 and downregulated METTL3 expression. Besides, total m6A level was lower in the SNHG4 overexpressed or METTL3 inhibited cells. METTL3 interference reduced m6A levels of STAT2 mRNA, decreased STAT2 mRNA stability and promoted STAT2 translation level. Upregulation of METTL3 or STAT2 reversed the effects of SNHG4 overexpression on LPS-treated cell functions. CONCLUSIONS This study reveals that SNHG4 promotes LPS induced inflammation in human lung fibroblasts and mouse lung tissues in vitro and in vivo by inhibiting METTL3-mediated m6A level of STAT2 mRNA, which may provide a potential therapeutic mechanism for NP.

Abstract
To explore the technical process and the therapeutic effect of using sequential surgical guide with independent intellectual property rights assisting immediate implantation and restoration of the full arch, with the support from the periodontal splint for mobile supporting teeth, patients with severe periodontitis who planned to undergo immediate full arch implantation were recruited from August 2019 to December 2020 at the Department of Prosthodontics, Department of Periodontology, Department of Implantology and First Clinical Division, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology. Through the procedure of collecting preoperative maxillofacial data, making systematic diagnostic design, making periodontal splints fixation, producing surgical guide, and carrying out guided surgery for full arch immediate implantation, eight cases were included. By registering the postoperative cone-beam CT (CBCT) with the preoperative data, the difference between the actual three-dimensional position of the implants and the virtual design was observed, and the accuracy of the implant placement position guided by the sequential guide was statistically analyzed using SPSS 25.0 software. Analysis indicators include coronal and apical global displacement, coronal horizontal and vertical displacement, apical horizontal and vertical displacement, and angular deviation. Results revealed that the 8 patients [2 males and 6 females, aged (49.0±9.3) years (38-65 years)] of recruited cases included 7 cases of maxilla and 1 cases of mandible. A total of 48 implants, of which 44 implants were placed upright and 4 were placed tilted, 16 implants in the anterior region and 32 implants in the posterior region. No guide plate fracture or damage to important anatomical structures were reported. The overall displacement at the coronal point [(0.83±0.48) mm] and the global displacement at the apical point [(1.36±0.57) mm] were within the clinically acceptable safety range, and the horizontal displacement and vertical displacement at the coronal point, horizontal displacement and vertical displacement at the apical point, and the angle deviation of implants axial have no statistic significant difference in the anterior and posterior region (P>0.05). Periodontal splints combined with sequential surgical guides to assist patients with severe periodontitis for immediate full arch implantation and immediate restoration can expand the indications of guide assisted implant surgery. It meets the safety requirements in clinical applications.

Abstract
AIM The aim was to evaluate the physiological variation in rectoanal inhibitory reflex (RAIR) after laparoscopic intersphincteric resection (Lap-ISR) for ultralow rectal cancer. METHOD This was a retrospective study that included 56 patients who underwent Lap-ISR from a prospectively collected database. The RAIR was examined preoperatively and up to 12 months after ileostomy closure. The primary outcome included physiological variation in RAIR and its difference between partial, subtotal and total ISR. The secondary outcome was its correlation with functional outcome. RESULTS The reflex was present in 95% (53/56) of patients preoperatively, in 36% (20/56) before ileostomy closure, in 48% (27/56) at 3-6 months and in 61% (34/56) at 12 months after ileostomy closure. The elicited volume of RAIR was significantly increased at 12 months after ileostomy closure than at baseline (P = 0.005), but its duration and amplitude did not differ significantly. There was no significant difference in the reflex recovery between the ISR groups (partial vs. subtotal vs. total: 65% vs. 63% vs. 44%, P = 0.61). At 12 months after ileostomy closure, the RAIR-present group had favourable functional results and patient satisfaction (P < 0.05). Major faecal incontinence was found in 82% of patients in the RAIR-absent group. CONCLUSION The RAIR is abolished in the majority of patients after Lap-ISR, but a time-dependent recovery could be observed in more than half of the patients. The reflex recovery is not influenced by the resection grade of the internal sphincter. However, persistent loss of the RAIR correlates with worse continence.

Abstract
Himalaya and Hengduan Mountains (HHM) is a biodiversity hotspot, and very rich in endemic species. Previous phylogeographical studies proposed different hypotheses (vicariance and climate-driven speciation) in explaining diversification and the observed pattern of extant biodiversity, but it is likely that taxa are forming in this area in species-specific ways. Here, we reexplored the phylogenetic relationship and tested the corresponding hypotheses within Paeonia subsect. Delavayanae composed of one widespread species (Paeonia delavayi) and the other geographically confined species (Paeonia ludlowii). We gathered genetic variation data at three chloroplast DNA fragments and one nuclear gene from 335 individuals of 34 populations sampled from HHM. We performed a combination of population genetic summary statistics, isolation-with-migration divergence models, isolation by environment, and demographic history analyses. We found evidence for the current taxonomic treatment that P. ludlowii and P. delavayi are two different species with significant genetic differentiation. The significant isolation by environment was revealed within all sampled populations but genetic distances only explained by geographical distances within P. delavayi populations. The results of population divergence models and demographic history analyses indicated a progenitor–derivative relationship and the Late Quaternary divergence without gene flow between them. The coalescence of all sampled cpDNA haplotypes could date to the Late Miocene, and P. delavayi populations probably underwent a severe bottleneck in population size during the last glacial period. Genetic variation in Paeonia subsect. Delavayanae is associated with geographical and environmental distances. These findings point to the importance of geological and climatic changes as causes of the speciation event and lineage diversification within Paeonia subsect. Delavayanae.

Abstract
Background The development of drug resistance leads many NPC patients to experience disease relapse following the completion of chemotherapy. It is thus essential that the mechanistic basis for such chemoresistance be clarified in an effort to identify approaches to sensitizing NPC tumors to treatment with cisplatin and related agents. Methods A qRT-PCR approach was used to measure the expression of circNRIP1 in NPC, while luciferase assays were used to identify interactions with downstream targets of circNRIP1 activity including miR-515-5p and IL-25. CCK8 assays were also utilized to detect IC50 values for cisplatin and 5-Fu. Results The expression of circNRIP1 was significantly increased in the serum of chemoresistant NPC patients. At a functional level, we determined that circNRIP1 is able to sequester miR-515-5p, thereby inhibiting its ability to post-transcriptionally suppress IL-25 expression. We observed a significant negative correlation between the expression of miR-515-5p and circNRIP1 in serum samples from chemoresistant NPC patients, consistent with a functional interaction between these two factors. We further found that 5-Fu and CDDP IC50 values in NPC cells in which circNRIP1 had been knocked down were restored following miR-515-5p inhibitor transfection. Similarly, changes in these IC50 values were reversed in NPC cells transfected with miR-515-5p mimics following the overexpression of IL-25 in these same cells. Conclusion These data highlight the circNRIP1/miR-515-5p/IL-25 as a novel regulator of 5-Fu and cisplatin resistance in NPC, suggesting that this pathway may be amenable to therapeutic targeting as an approach to treating this cancer type.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effect and mechanism of peroxiredoxin1 (PRDX1) in epithelial mesenchymal transformation (EMT) of gastric cancer cells. Methods: The expression of PRDX1 protein was detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in 70 paraffin specimens of cancer and normal mucosa adjacent to gastric cancer, and the relationship between PRDX1 protein and clinicopathological characteristics was analyzed. Then PRDX1-small interfering RNA (siRNA) was synthetized and transfected into human gastric cancer cell line AGS, and 3-(4, 5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2, 5-diphenyl-2H tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was used to test cell proliferation. Transwell chamber assay was employed to test invasion of cells. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blot were utilized to test the expressions of PRDX1, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, vimentin, and claudin-1. Results: The positive rate of PRDX1 protein expression in gastric cancer was 81.4%, higher than that in normal mucosa (27.1%, P<0.05). The expression of PRDX1 protein was related to invasive depth and lymph node metastasis of gastric cancer (P<0.05). The expressions of PRDX1 mRNA and protein in AGS cells (2.216±0.445, 1.212±0.136), were higher than those in GES-1 cells (0.342±0.041, 0.328±0.038) (P<0.05). When PRDX1-siRNA was transfected into AGS cells, the proliferation of AGS cells was significantly inhibited (all P<0.05). The invasion and migration rate of AGS cells in the transfection group [(112.00±17.98), (50.87±9.79)%] were significantly lower than those of the negative control group [(192.50±22.02), (83.03±8.67)%] and blank control group [(193.83±22.40), (82.40±7.21)%] (all P<0.05). The expressions of mRNA and protein of N-cadherin, vimentin and claudin-1 decreased, while the expression of E-cadherin increased when PRDX1-siRNA was transfected into AGS cells (P<0.05). Conclusion: PRDX1 may promote the development of gastric cancer by regulating the EMT of gastric cancer cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognostic values of the AJCC staging system for gastric cancer (GC-AJCC), the AJCC staging system for gastric neuroendocrine tumours (NET-AJCC) and the European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (ENETS) system for gastric neuroendocrine carcinoma and mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma (MA)NEC remain controversial. METHODS Data on patients with (MA)NEC from 21 centres in China were analysed. Different staging systems were evaluated by performing Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and calculating the concordance index (C-index) and Akaike information criterion (AIC). Based on three existing systems, a modified staging system (mTNM) was developed. RESULTS A total of 871 patients were included. In the GC-AJCC system, an overlap was noticed for pT2 and pT3 categories. Patients with stage IIIC disease had a similar prognosis to those with stage IV disease. The pT categories of the NET-AJCC system had a lower C-index and higher AIC than those of the other systems. In the ENETS system, there was a low proportion (0·2 per cent) of patients with stage IIIA and a high proportion (67·6 per cent) of stage IIIB disease. The mTNM system adopted the NET-AJCC pT and GC-AJCC pN and pM definitions, and was developed based on the ENETS stage definitions. The proportion of patients in each stage was better distributed and the mTNM system showed improved prognostic performance in predicting overall and disease-free survival. CONCLUSION The mTNM system offers more accurate prognostic value for gastric (MA)NEC than the AJCC or ENETS staging systems.

Abstract
The predictors for the prognosis of gastric cancer (GC) are not clear. We intended to explore the role of PTEN and microsatellite (MS) in GC, showing their potential as prognostic markers. Primary gastric cancer tissues, adjacent normal tissues, and clinicopathological parameters of 187 patients were collected. The expression level of PTEN and MS status were classified by immunohistochemistry (IHC). The relationship among indicators was compared by the chi-square test. The survival curves were delineated by Kaplan-Meier and tested by Log-rank methods. The impact of multiple factors on prognosis was determined by COX proportional hazards model. Significantly, PTEN expression was associated with lymphatic invasion (p=0.011) and Lauren grade (p=0.015). MS status was associated with differentiation (p=0.006) and Lauren grades (p=0.035). TNM stage was associated with MS status under positive PTEN expression (p=0.014). Patients with microsatellite stability (MSS) had worse median overall survival (OS) than that with microsatellite instability (MSI) (p=0.013). Patients with negative PTEN expression had a worse median OS than that with positive PTEN expression (p<0.001). The tumor subtype of PTEN negative-MSS (p<0.001) and PTEN negative-MSI (p=0.042) were strong predictors of poor survival. Negative PTEN expression and MSS might lead to unfavorable prognosis due to their association with clinicopathological parameters of GC. PTEN expression and MS status could be predictors for the prognosis of GC.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the role of PM2.5 exposure in inducing apoptosis of alveolar epithelial cells and thereafter emphysema in mice, and the underlying mechanism. PM2.5 exposure model in mice was constructed. Lung tissues were harvested from healthy mice and model mice for hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. Protein levels of Forkhead box O3 (FOXO3A) and BIM in lung tissues were detected by Western blot. Subsequently, A549 cells were induced with increased doses of PM2.5, followed by determination of relative levels of FOXO3A, BIM (Bcl-2 interacting mediator of cell death) and clv-caspase3. Apoptosis in PM2.5-exposed A549 cells was assessed. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay was conducted to uncover the interaction between FOXO3A and BIM. Finally, regulatory effects of FOXO3A/BIM on apoptosis of A549 cells were determined. PM2.5 exposure resulted in expansion of alveolar spatial structure and decline of lung function, thus leading to emphysema in mice. Protein levels of FOXO3A and BIM were markedly upregulated in lungs of model mice. Relative levels of FOXO3A, BIM and clv-caspase3 were enhanced in PM2.5 -exposed A549 cells, which were reversed by transfection of si-FOXO3A. ChIP assay confirmed that FOXO3A was able to regulate BIM transcription through binding its promoter regions. Importantly, regulatory effects of FOXO3A on apoptosis of PM2.5 -exposed A549 cells were partially reversed by overexpression of BIM. PM2.5 exposure leads to upregulation of FOXO3A, which triggers BIM transcription, thus inducing apoptosis of alveolar epithelial cells and emphysema in mice.

Abstract
Weyl points are often believed to appear in pairs with opposite chirality. In this work, we show by first-principles calculations and symmetry analysis that single Weyl phonons with linear dispersion and double Weyl phonons with quadratic dispersion are simultaneously present between two specific phonon branches in realistic materials with trigonal or hexagonal lattices. These phonon Weyl points are guaranteed to locate at high-symmetry points due to the screw rotational symmetry, forming a unique triangular Weyl complex. In sharp contrast to conventional Weyl systems with surface arcs terminated at the projections of a pair of Weyl points with opposite chirality, the phonon surface arcs of the unconventional triangular Weyl complex connect the projections of one double Weyl point and two single Weyl points. Importantly, the phonon surface arcs originating from the triangular Weyl complex are extremely long and span the entire surface Brillouin zone. Furthermore, there are only nontrivial phonon surface states across the isofrequency surface, which facilitates their detection in experiments and further applications. Our work not only offers the promising triangular phonon Weyl complex but also provides guidance for exploring triangular Weyl bosons in both phononic and photonic systems.

Abstract
Objective: To establish a quantitative three-dimensional method based on intraoral scan to evaluate the changes of soft tissue, and to evaluate the changes of supracrestal gingival thickness (SGT) in skeletal class Ⅲ patients induced by periodontal regenerative and corticotomy surgery (PRCS). Methods: Twenty-two systematically and periodontally healthy skeletal class Ⅲ patients (4 males and 18 females, aged between 19 and 35 years), who were in need of combined orthodontic-orthognathic treatment and referred to the Department of Periodontology from the Department of Orthodontics and the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from January, 2018 to March, 2019, were collected in the study. The teeth involved were 112 anterior teeth (46 maxillary anterior teeth and 66 mandibular anterior teeth). PRCS in anterior tooth area was conducted before orthodontic decompensation. Probing depth (PD), bleeding index (BI) and keratinized gingiva width (KGW) were recorded before surgery and 6 months post-surgery. The intraoral digital impressions of maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth were obtained by 3-shape intraoral scanner before surgery and 6 months after surgery. The Standard Tessellation Language (STL) files were processed using Geomagic qualify 12.2 software to establish the soft tissue morphological measurement model, and to quantitatively analyze the changes of gingival thickness situated 1 to 2 mm apical to the free gingival margin on the median sagittal measurement plane. Results: Probing depth and bleeding index had no significant difference before and 6 months after operation (P>0.05). KGW in 6-month post-operation group [(5.18±2.32) mm] was significantly higher than that in pre-operation group [(4.22±1.43) mm] (P<0.05). Supracrestal gingival thickness situated 1 to 2 mm apical to the free gingival margin also significantly increased 6 months after surgery (P<0.05). The changes of gingival thickness situated 1 to 2 mm apical to the free gingival margin in the upper anterior area were (0.68±0.56) and (1.00±0.69) mm, respectively. The changes in the lower anterior area were (0.38±0.42) and (0.58±0.45) mm, respectively. The gingival changes of the upper anterior teeth were also significantly higher than those of the lower anterior teeth (P<0.01). Conclusions: The described quantitative measurement based on intraoral scan could be an effective method for quantitative evaluation of the changes of soft tissue. PRCS could safely increase the supracrestal gingival thickness as well as KGW in skeletal class Ⅲ patients who were in need of combined orthodontic-orthognathic treatment.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the risk factors of coloanal anastomotic stricture after laparoscopic intersphincteric resection (Lap-ISR) for patients with low rectal cancer. Methods: A retrospective case-control study was performed to collect clinicopathological data from a prospective database (registration number: ChiCTR-ONC-15007506) at the Department of Colorectal Surgery, the Characteristic Medical center of PLA Rocket Force. From June 2011 to August 2018, a total of 144 consecutive patients with low rectal cancer who underwent Lap-ISR were enrolled in the study. Inclusion criteria: (1) reconstruction of digestive tract by end-to-end hand-made coloanal anastomosis (HCAA); (2) distance from lower tumor margin to anorected sphincter ring < 1 cm and distance from lower tumor margin to intersphincteric groove ≥ 1 cm; (3) T1-3 stage tumor with expected negative circumferential resection margin evaluated by preoperative MRI or 3D endoanal ultrasound; (4) rectal cancer confirmed as well- or moderately-differentiated adenocarcinoma; (5) preoperative Wexner incontinence score >10 points. Exclusion criteria: (1) follow-up period less than 3 months; (2) multiple primary cancers; (3) undergoing colonic J-pouch, coloplasty or reconstruction of end-to-side coloanal anastomosis; (4) death within perioperative period (within 3 months after surgery). Coloanal anastomotic stricture was diagnosed if the index finger or 12 mm electronic colonoscope had obvious resistance through the anastomosis or new rectum, or could not pass, accompanied by clinical symptoms such as difficult defecation and anal incontinence. Degree of anastomotic stricture was divided into 3 grades: grade A required anal enlargement, laxative or enema to assist defecation without active surgical treatment; grade B required surgery or endoscopic intervention; grade C required definitive ostomy, including unreducible preventive ileostomy or permanent colostomy. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to evaluate the effects of 28 variables, including baseline data (age, gender, body mass index, neoadjuvant therapy, etc.), tumor-related factors (distance between tumor low margin and anal edge, maximum diameter of tumor, TNM staging, etc.), surgery-related factors (operation time, intraoperative blood loss, ISR procedure, anastomotic height, etc.) and anastomotic leakage, on the postoperative coloanal anastomotic stricture. Univariate analysis used χ(2) test or Fisher's exact test, then factors with P<0.05 were further included in multivariate analysis using logistic regression. Results: A total of 144 patients were enrolled in the study, including 90 males and 54 females with a median age of 59 years and median BMI of 24.88 kg/m(2). R0 resection rate was 96.5% (139/144). Median tumor distal resection margin was 1.5 (0.5 to 3.0) cm. Median follow-up was 31.5 (4 to 86) months. Coloanal anastomotic stricture was observed in 19 patients (13.2%), including 3 cases (2.1%) of grade A, 9 cases (6.2%) of grade B, and 7 cases (4.9%) of grade C. The median interval from the initial surgery to diagnosis of anastomotic stricture was 7 (1 to 31) months. Univariate analysis showed that male (χ(2)=6.795, P=0.009), radiotherapy (χ(2)=13.330, P=0.001), operation type of ISR (χ(2)=7.996, P=0.013), and anastomotic leakage (χ(2)=10.198, P=0.004) were associated with the postoperative coloanal anastomotic stricture. Multivariate analysis further indicated that male (OR=5.975, 95% CI: 1.209-29.534, P=0.028), postoperative radiotherapy (OR=8.748, 95% CI: 2.397-31.929, P=0.001), and anastomotic leakage (OR=6.313, 95% CI: 1.834-21.734, P=0.003) were independent risk factor of postoperative coloanal anastomotic stricture. Conclusion: For male patients, or patients with postoperative radiotherapy or anastomotic leakage, close follow-up should be carried out to prevent postoperative coloanal anastomotic stricture following Lap-ISR.

Abstract
Nontrivial low-energy excitations of crystalline solids have insightfully strengthened understanding of elementary particles in quantum field theory. Usually, topological quasiparticles are mainly focused on fermions in topological semimetals. We alternatively show by first-principles calculations and symmetry analysis that ideal type-II Weyl phonons are present in zinc-blende cadmium telluride, a well-known II-VI semiconductor. Importantly, these type-II Weyl phonons originate from the inversion between the longitudinal acoustic and transverse optical branches. Symmetry guarantees that the type-II Weyl points lie along the high-symmetry lines at the boundaries of the Brillouin zone even with a breaking of inversion symmetry, exhibiting the robustness of protected phonon features. The nontrivial phonon surface states and surface arcs projected on the semifinite (001) and (111) surfaces are investigated. The phonon surface arcs connecting the Weyl points with opposite chirality, guaranteed to be very long, are clearly visible. We not only offer a promising candidate for studying type-II Weyl phonons but also provide a route to realize symmetry-protected nontrivial phonons and related applications in realistic materials.

Abstract
To evaluate the efficiency and safety between Wenxin Granule and antiarrhythmic drugs in the treatment of atrial fibrillation(AF). A total of 8 major electronic databases(CNKI, WanFang, VIP, CBM, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, PubMed, EMbase) were retrieved since the establishment of the database to January 10, 2019. Two reviewers extracted data, and assessed the methodological quality of the included studies. The Meta-analysis was made by RevMan 5.3 software. Finally, 42 studies involving 4 657 patients were included. The results of Meta-analysis showed that compared with antiarrhythmic drug, the combined administration with Wenxin Granule and antiarrhythmic drug had a better clinical efficiency(OR=3.37, 95%CI[2.69,4.22],I~2=0%,P<0.000 01)and efficacy on cardioversion(OR=2.32,95%CI[1.67,3.22],I~2=0%,P<0.000 01), with reduction in P_d(MD=-5.48,95%CI [-7.32,-3.64],I~2=0%,P<0.000 01)and P_(max)(MD=-9.91,95%CI[-12.86,-6.95],I~2=0%,P<0.000 01). The comparison between the combined application with Wenxin Granule and the single application of amiodarone showed a clinical efficiency(OR=2.89,95%CI[1.96,4.26],I~2=44%,P<0.000 01),and efficacy on sinus rhythm maintenance(OR=2.58,95%CI[1.82,3.66],I~2=3%,P<0.000 01). The comparison between the combined application with Wenxin Granule and the single application of amiodarone showed a clinical efficiency(OR=0.88,95%CI[0.53,1.46],I~2=0%,P=0.63). The combined treatment with Wenxin Granule has a better clinical efficiency in AF better than amiodarone, with no evidence for more benefits from the single administration with Wenxin Granules.

Abstract
Tibial dyschondroplasia (TD) is a type of bone deformity found in fast-growing chickens, which induce inflammatory responses. Prostaglandins (PGs) implicate in bone formation and bone resorption, associated with inflammation in an autocrine/paracrine manner. This study used qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry analysis to identify the expression patterns of PG-related genes in the erythrocytes of broiler chickens and explore the effects of thiram-induced TD and the recombinant glutathione-S-transferase A3 (rGSTA3) protein on the expression of PG-related genes: GSTA3, cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), prostaglandin D2 synthase (PTGDS), prostaglandin E synthase (PTGES), prostaglandin E2 receptor (PTGER) 3, PTGER4 and prostaglandin reductase 1 (PTGR1). Interestingly, the results showed that these seven PG-related genes expression was identified in the erythrocytes of broiler chicken, and thiram-induced TD suppressed the expression of these PG-related genes in the initial stage of TD and promoted their expression in TD recovery. These findings demonstrated that the immunoregulatory function of erythrocytes can be inhibited in the early stage of TD and promoted in the recovery stage by modulating the expression of PG-related genes. Further, the rGSTA3 protein can modulate the expression of PG-related genes in erythrocytes and participate in the recovery of TD.

Abstract
Objective: This study explored the prognostic factors of patients with supratentorial anaplastic gliomas and tried to propose a prognostic scoring scale with aim to provide theoretical reference for clinical treatment. Methods: The clinical data of 198 patients surgically treated for primary anaplastic glioma in Henan Provincial People's Hospital between Jan 2009 and Jan 2018 were reviewed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify prognostic factors with methods of Kaplan-Meier plot and Cox proportional hazard model, respectively. Based on the prognostic factors, a scoring scale was thereby proposed. Results: Univariate analysis results showed age, tumor location, tumor diameter, preoperative KPS, extent of resection, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, pathology with oligodendroglial components, 1p/19q, IDH, MGMT were significantly correlated with survival (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis results showed age ≥45 years old, tumor diameter ≥6 cm, preoperative KPS<70, without radiotherapy, 1p/19q intact, MGMT promoter unmethylation were independent prognostic risk factors (P<0.05). Patients were scored with 0-6 points based on the formulation that each independent prognostic risk factor was assigned with 1 point. Then patients were further grouped according to the score. Those with less than 2 points were low-risk group, equal to 2 points were medium-risk group, equal to 3 points were high-risk group, more than or equal to 4 points were extremely high-risk group. There were significant differences in survival between the different groups (P<0.000 1). Conclusions: The higher score, the shorter survival time. This prognostic scoring scale can provide a theoretical basis for the prognosis estimation of patients with anaplastic glioma and help to carry out personalized clinical treatment.

Abstract
The ferromagnetic Weyl semimetals with inversion symmetry usually possess odd pairs of Weyl fermions. Here, we present an inversion eigenvalue argument to dictate the existence of even pairs of ferromagnetic Weyl fermions. We show, by a combination of first-principles calculations and symmetry analyses, that this exotic topological feature can be verified in ferromagnetic oxides in different space groups. In particular, a realistic candidate, i.e., hollandite RbCr_{4}O_{8} with a high Curie temperature (∼295 K), hosts intriguing twin pairs of Weyl fermions, which are robustly stable against perturbations. Moreover, our effective model and symmetry analysis show that the twin pairs of Weyl fermions originate from a mirrored nodal ring pair. The nontrivial surface states and Fermi arcs of RbCr_{4}O_{8} are clearly visible, further revealing the topological features. This work strengthens the understanding of the parity analysis in exploring ferromagnetic topological materials with unconventional fermionic excitations.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical value of static and dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in evaluating the effect of electrical stimulation combined with biofeedback in the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse postpartum. Methods: A total of 50 primiparas diagnosed as pelvic organ prolapse postpartum from February 2016 to November 2017 were randomly divided into treatment group (24 cases) and control group (26 cases). The control group recovered spontaneously, and the treatment group received electric stimulation combined with biofeedback therapy (6 weeks). All subjects underwent static and dynamic MRI before and after treatment. The thickness of bilateral puborectal muscles, levator ani hiatus area (LHA), H line, M line and levator ani plate angle (LPA) were respectively measured in rest state and strain state at 42 days and 12 weeks postpartum, and the differences of parameters were compared between two groups. Results: (1) Compared with 42 days postpartum, the effective rate of pelvic organ prolapse was 15.4% (4/26) in the control group and 62.5% (15/24) in the treatment group, which was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.01). (2) Compared with 42 days postpartum, the thickness of bilateral puborectal muscles in the treatment group increased at 12 weeks postpartum, while that of the H line, LHA, M line and LPA in strain state decreased. (3) At 12 weeks postpartum, the thickness of the bilateral puborectal muscle in the treatment group was greater, and LHA, M line, and LPA in strain state were less than that in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Electrical stimulation combined with biofeedback therapy can improve pelvic organ prolapse due to vaginal delivery, and the static and dynamic MRI can objectively evaluate the effect of pelvic floor rehabilitation therapy on improving the pelvic floor supporting structure and function, providing an important support and guidance for restoration of postpartum pelvic organ prolapse.

Abstract
Objective: To establish a quantitative three-dimensional method based on intraoral scan and apply it to evaluation of the facial soft tissue contour alterations following single immediate implant and immediate provisionalization (IIPP) in central incisor via intraoral scanning. Methods: This study was a prospective clinical study. The trial was conducted at Department of Implantology, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology, from January 2016 to September 2017. Twenty-nine eligible consecutive patients (15 women, 14 men) with a mean age of (34.3±12.0) were included and received immediate replacement of the failure maxillary single central incisor. A screw-retained immediate restoration was delivered for each patient. At 6-month follow-up, impression was taken and a screw-retained permanent restoration was performed for each patient. The anterior maxillary region was scanned by an intraoral scanning system at pre-surgery and 1-year follow-up. The Standard Tessellation Language (STL) files were output to a dedicated software and superimposed. Mid-facial recession and gingival zenith symmetry at 1-year follow-up were measured in the digital models. Three-dimensional configurations of the contour change volume were calculated and reconstructed for visual analysis. Furthermore, the following parameters were used to analyze the reconstructed volume: mean contour change in thickness (△d), mesio-distal width (D(W)), coronal-apical height (D(H)), contour change at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 mm apical to the free gingival margin on the implant site. Results: Twenty-seven out of twenty-nine enrolled patients were finally available for analysis. At 1-year follow-up, the mid-facial mucosa level at implant site was (0.23±0.39) mm apical to the gingival zenith of the contralateral tooth. In general, a contour collapse was found in every patient. △d, D(W) and D(H) of the collapsed volume were (0.62±0.22), (11.03±1.74) and (6.82±1.52) mm, respectively. Contour change at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 mm apical to the free gingival margin on the implant site were (0.54±0.48), (0.87±0.62), (1.03±0.46), (0.96±0.52), (0.90±0.52), (0.89±0.57) mm. Conclusions: The described quantitative measurement based on intraoral scan can be an effective method for assessment of soft tissue contour changes. At 1 year following single IIPP treatment in maxillary incisor, free gingival margin is stable, with only mild recession. The mean level of the facial soft tissue contour collapse is 0.62 mm.

Abstract
Objective: To know the incidence of heat stroke and explore it's prediction model in Pudong New Area of Shanghai. Methods: An epidemiological investigation was conducted on heat stroke cases in Pudong New Area of Shanghai from 2013 to 2017. Daily temperature data during this period were collected to explore it's influence. Results: 246 heat stroke cases were reported and investigated, 70.3% (173/246) of them were male. 170 cases are severe heat stroke, accounting for 69.1%. 28 patients died, accounting for 11.4% of all cases of heat stroke, and 16.5% (28/170) of severe heat stroke cases. Thermoplegia (56.5%, 96/170) was the most popular type among severe heat stroke cases. Heat prostration, heat cramps and mixed type account for 17.1% (29/170) , 12.4% (21/170) and 14.0% (24/170) respectively. Scatter plot and linear regression demonstrated that there was a significant linear relation between number of high temperature days and number of heat stroke cases (P<0.01) . And the prediction model is: Predictive number of annual heat stroke cases=β×Number of annual high temperature days+Intercept. Leave-one-out cross validation result shows that the predictive number of annual heat stroke cases from 2013 to 2017 were 85.7%, 90.9%, 83.3%, 91.9 and 84.3% respectively. Conclusion: There was a significant linear relation between number of high temperature days and number of heat stroke cases in Pudong New Area. The related work arrangement for heat stroke prevention could be well planed according to the prediction model.

Abstract
Facial symmetry is a crucial component of human facial esthetics. Along with the increasing pursuit of aesthetic, in recent years, more and more researchers have focused on facial asymmetry assessment, of which determining the facial median sagittal plane is the first and most important step, and it will directly affect the accuracy of asymmetry evaluation and clinical treatment outcome. Limited by technical means, the earlier studies of facial soft tissue asymmetry assessment were mainly based on midline from two-dimensional (2D) images. Along with the development of three-dimensional (3D) measurement and data analysis techniques, new methods such as 3D landmark-based method and mirror-original alignment method have become main trend nowadays. This article systematically reviews the methods of determination of median sagittal plane of facial soft tissue, elaborates the developments and the latest research progress in this field, and discusses the advantages and limitations of each method in order to provide reference for clinical application.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate effects of benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) on expressions of insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) and neprilysin (NEP) which have the ability to degrade β-amyloid (Aβ) in neuroglia cells. METHODS Primary mix-neuroglia cells were cultured from newborn SD rats. After exposure to BaP, Aβ1-42 oligomer or Aβ1-42 fiber individually or jointly for 24 h, the cell survival rate was measured by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8). Afterwards, the primary mix-neuroglia cells were divided randomly into six groups: Control group, BaP group (2.00 μmol/L), Aβ1-42 oligomer group (20.00 mg/L), BaP plus Aβ1-42 oligomer group, Aβ1-42 fiber group (20.00 mg/L) and BaP plus Aβ1-42 fiber group, of which BaP was pretreated for 12 h followed by cotreatment with different aggregated Aβ1-42. The expressions of IDE and NEP were measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) for mRNA level and Western blotting for protein level. RESULTS The cell survival rate showed no significant differences after treatment with BaP (≤20.00 μmol/L), Aβ1-42 oligomer (20.00, 40.00 mg/L), Aβ1-42 fiber (20.00, 40.00 mg/L) or cotreatment with BaP and Aβ1-42 oligomer or BaP and Aβ1-42 fiber. Compared with the control group, expressions of IDE and NEP in BaP-treated alone group had no obvious change; however, exposure to Aβ1-42 oligomer alone significantly increased the mRNA and protein level of IDE (P<0.05), and the BaP pretreatment could significantly inhibit the up-regulated expressions of IDE by Aβ1-42 oligomer (P<0.05); on the other hand, exposure either to Aβ1-42 fiber alone or under the BaP pretreatment did not change the mRNA and protein level of IDE and NEP obviously. CONCLUSION On the premise of no significant change of cell survival rate, BaP pretreatment inhibited the up-regulated expressions of IDE in primary mixed neuroglia cells under cotreatment with Aβ oligomer, indicating that BaP may disturb degradation of Aβ oligomer and cause deposition of β-amyloid and further induce cognitive decline and acceleration of Alzheimer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the accuracy of periapical film in evaluating the infrabone root surface area of single-root teeth with different types of resorption of the alveolar bone. METHODS In this study, the medical records and imaging data of patients in Department of Periodontology of Peking University Hospital of Stomatology from January 2014 to December 2016 were retrospectively analysed. The involved teeth were divided into two groups: horizontal bone loss group and vertical bone loss group. Digital three-dimensional models of teeth were segmented from cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) data, and the percentage of the infrabone root surface area was measured. While the percentage of the residual alveolar bone was measured on the periapical films. The correlation of the two percentages were analyzed, and the differences between the two percentages of each group were compared. RESULTS Thirty-two patients and 79 single-root teeth were involved totally, in whom there were 25 men and 7 women, aged 26-60 years, and of which there were 41 teeth in the horizontal bone loss group and 38 teeth in the vertical bone loss group. The remaining alveolar bone height percentages were 45.13%-90.39% on the periapical films, and at the same time, the infrabone root surface area percentages were 36.27%-93.03% on CBCT. The residual alveolar bone height percentage of the horizontal bone loss group was not subject to normal distribution, so the residual alveolar bone height percentage and the infrabone root surface area percentage were analyzed by Wilcoxon matched pair rank test (P=0.382), and the result showed no statistically significant difference. The mean value of difference value of the two measurements was 0, and the consistency limit of 95 % was -9.7%-9.8%, between the clinical consistency limit (-15%-15%).The residual alveolar bone height percentage and the infrabone root surface area percentage of the vertical bone loss group were analyzed by paired T test (P< 0.001), and the result showed statistically significant difference. The mean value of difference value of the two measurements was 7.2 %, and the consistency limit of 95% was -13.1%-27.5%, beyond clinical consistency limit (-15%-15%). CONCLUSION For the teeth with horizontal bone loss, the proximal residual alveo-lar bone height reflected on the periapical films could show the infrabone root surface area relatively accurately. For the teeth with vertical bone loss, the periapical films could not show the degree of periodontal tissue loss accurately, and it would underestimate the extent of bone destruction usually, so CBCT might be taken to show the bone destruction condition of this type of teeth if necessary.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop a digital workflow of orthodontic-prosthodontic multidisciplinary treatment plan which can be applied in complicated anterior teeth esthetic rehabilitation, in order to enhance the efficiency of communication between dentists and patients, and improve the predictability of treatment outcome. METHODS Twenty patients with the potential needs of orthodontic-prosthodontic multidisciplinary treatment to solve their complicated esthetic problems in anterior teeth were recruited in this study. Digital models of patients' both dental arches and soft tissues were captured using intra oral scanner. Direct prosthodontic (DP) treatment plan and orthodontic-prosthodontic (OP) treatment plan were carried out for each patient. For DP treatment plans, digital wax-up models were directly designed on original digital models using prosthodontic design system. For OP treatment plans, virtual-setups were performed using orthodontic analyze system according to orthodontic and esthetic criteria and imported to prosthodontic design system to finalize the digital wax-up models. These two treatment plans were shown to the patients and demonstrated elaborately. Each patient rated two treatment plans using visual analogue scales and the medians of scores of two treatment plans were analyzed using signed Wilcoxon test. Having taken into consideration various related factors, including time, costs of treatment, each patient chose a specific treatment plan. For the patients chose DP treatment plans, digital wax-up models were exported and printed into resin diagnostic models which would be utilized in the prosthodontic treatment process. For the patients chose OP treatment plans, virtual-setups were used to fabricate aligners or indirect bonding templates and digital wax-up models were also exported and printed into resin diagnostic models for prosthodontic treatment after orthodontic treatment completed. RESULTS The medians of scores of DP treatment plan and OP treatment plan were calculated and analyzed by IBM SPSS 20. The median of scores of DP treatment plan was 8.4, the minimum value was 6.9 and the maximum value was 9.3. The median of scores of OP treatment plan was 9.0, the minimum value was 7.9 and the maximum value was 9.6. The median of scores of OP was significantly higher than that of DP (Z=-3.23, P<0.01). Finally, 12 patients chose OP treatment plans and 8 patients chose DP treatment plans. CONCLUSION For cases with complex esthetic problems in anterior teeth, a digital workflow can demonstrate final treatment outcome and help patients make suitable treatment decisions. In our study, the orthodontic-prosthodontic multidisciplinary treatment plan is feasible which can provide predictions of treatment outcome and improve esthetic outcome with patients' satisfaction.

Abstract
We propose a mechanism of ground-state antiblockade of Rydberg atoms, which is then exploited to prepare two-atom entangled state via three different kinds of pulses. First we use the pulses in the form of sin2 and cos2 functions and obtain a maximally entangled state at an accurate interaction time. Then the method of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) is adopted for the entanglement generation, which is immune to the fluctuations of revelent parameters but requires a long time. Finally we capitalize the advantages of the former two methods and employ shortcuts to adiabatic passage (STAP) to generate the maximal entanglement. The strictly numerical simulation reveals that the current scheme is robust against spontaneous emission of atoms due to the virtual excitation of Rydberg states, and all of the above methods favor a high fidelity with the present experimental technology.
