Periodontal therapy for hopeless mandibular anterior teeth: a retrospective case report with a multidisciplinary approach and a 20-year follow-up

Introduction: This case report presents the intentional periodontal maintenance of two periodontal hopeless lower central incisors with a multidisciplinary approach and 20-year follow-up. Case presentation: A 36-year-old male, in 2001, was diagnosed with aggressive periodontitis, gingival swelling, bleeding, and mandibular central incisors with mobility and poor prognosis. Following periodontal therapy (phase I), root canal treatment, and occlusal adjustment, #31 and #41 were gently extracted to remove the granulation tissues, calculus, and infected cementum from the root surface. Then, tetracycline-HCl was applied for 5 minutes on the root surfaces. The teeth were repositioned into the sockets and splinted with a lingual bar. At 3 months, the bar was removed, and a free gingival autogenous graft was done to improve the local keratinized tissue width. Mobility scores, pocket depths, and clinical attachment levels were recorded, and radiographs were taken at 1, 5, and 20 years. The 5-year follow-up showed that the teeth were clinically and radiographically in function. There was a reduction in probing depth and a gain in clinical attachment and radiographic alveolar bone levels. After 20 years, #41 was stable, but #31 had external root resorption, leading to a new treatment plan (dental implants) and extraction. Conclusion: The clinical result of this case was satisfactory for 20 years. Intentional periodontal maintenance of the teeth may be an alternative treatment, even considering the high level of complexity.

Long-term efficacy and literature review of liver transplant recipients with hepatic myelopathy / 中华器官移植杂志

Objective:To explore the long-term therapeutic efficacy and outcomes of liver transplantation for patients with hepatic myelopathy (HM).Methods:Retrospective analysis of 24 adult liver transplantation recipients due to HM at First Central Municipal Hospital from January 2006 to October 2022. HM was extensively classified by the severity of lower extremity symptoms, degree of muscle stiffness, capability for independent ambulation and muscle strength. Furthermore, their long-term outcomes were examined. From January 2000 to October 2022, the databases of China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) , Google Scholar, PubMed and Web of Science were searched with such keywords as "肝性脊髓病and肝移植" "Hepatic Myelopathy and Liver Transplantation" .Results:After liver transplantation, liver functions and blood ammonia normalized and most clinical symptoms improved. During a follow-up period of (12-190) months, 19 patients showed a lowered grade of HC as compared to pre-transplantation. Four cases achieved a complete recovery of extremity function. No change occurred in severity grade for the remaining 5 patients. However, 4 of them experienced varying degrees of improvement in muscle strength and independent walking capability. This review summarized the clinical characteristics and clinical outcomes of 17 patients from both domestic and international sources. Most of them experiences varying degrees of symptomatic improvements after liver transplantation (16 cases).Conclusions:This study has confirmed the effectiveness of liver transplantation for HM and its contribution to the long-term patient recovery.

Applications and consideration for metformin in pregnancy / 中华围产医学杂志

Metformin is recognized for its dual action in lowering blood glucose levels and enhancing insulin sensitivity, positioning it as the primary oral drug for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Despite its ability to cross the placenta and expose the fetus, extensive clinical application has not revealed significant adverse effects. Metformin finds widespread application during pregnancy in conditions such as obesity, polycystic ovary syndrome, T2DM, and gestational diabetes mellitus. This article aims to establish an evidence-based perspective on the impact of metformin administered during pregnancy on maternal and fetal outcomes, as well as the long-term health of offspring. Generally deemed safe and effective, metformin is viewed as a means to control hyperglycemia and manage gestational weight gain without conspicuous adverse effects on maternal and fetal pregnancy outcomes. However, metformin alone may not suffice for achieving glycemic control, necessitating the addition of insulin. Besides, the long-term offspring risks of metformin exposure are controversial, long-term follow-up study is urgent to bring certainty into this field. Thus, tight control over indications for metformin use during pregnancy is crucial to ensure optimal maternal and fetal health outcomes. Although not suggested as a first-line agent for glycemic control in pregnancy, it may be considered as an adjunctive option in cases of severe insulin resistance or in low-resource areas where access to insulin is challenging.

Aim: To study the “Long Term Effect of Organic and Inorganic Manures on Rice Productivity and Major nutrient dynamics in 33 years old Rice- Rice Cropping System of Godavari Delta”.Place and Duration of Study: A field experiment was carried out during kharif 2022 at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Maruteru, West Godavari district in the ongoing All India Coordinated Rice Improvement Project (AICRIP) on Long term soil fertility management in low land rice soils of Godavari delta under rice-rice cropping system.Study Design and Methodology: Treatments imposed in this study were T1: Control, T2: 50 % NPK, T3: 50% NPK + 50 % N-FYM, T4: 50 % NPK + 50% N-Green Manure, T5: 50 % NPK + 50 % N-Azospirillum, T6: FYM @ 10t/ha, T7: 100 % NPK+Zn+S, T8: 100 % NPK +Zn+S+FYM @ 5 t ha-1. All together 8 treatments laid out in RBD with three Replications. The application of fertiliser was carried out in accordance with the treatments. The prescribed fertiliser dose (90:60:60) was administered in the following forms: urea (46% N), single superphosphate (16% P2O5), muriate of potash (60% K2O), and zinc sulphate (ZnSO4.7H2O) @ 50 kg ha-1. The total dosage of phosphorus, potassium, and zinc were applied as basal. Three equally divided applications of nitrogen were made: one at the basal, one at the tillering stage, and one at the panicle initiation stage. Well decomposed farmyard manure (FYM) manure and Pheltophorum (green leaf manure) were applied one week before transplanting. Popular cultivar of Kharif rice MTU 1064 (Amara) was used for the study.Results: Long-term application of organic and inorganic fertilizers and their combination didn’t show any marked difference on physico-chemical properties of soil (pH and EC). Bulk density was recorded lowest in FYM @ 10 t ha-1 and it was on par with (T8, T3, T4, T5). Organic carbon was observed highest in FYM @ 10 t ha-1 and it was on par with (T8 and T3). There was a significant impact of long-term application of organic and inorganic fertilizers and their combination on soil chemical properties, highest available N, P, K, S and Zn was observed highest in conjunctive treatment (T8) 100 % NPK + Zn + S + FYM @ 5 t ha-1 whereas, lowest was recorded in control. There was a significant impact on grain and straw yields. Highest grain and straw yields were recorded in (T8) 100 % NPK + Zn + S +FYM @ 5 t ha-1 and it was on par with (T7) 100 % NPK + Zn + S.Conclusions: After the investigation, present study concludes that conjunctive and combined application of organics with inorganics improve soil physical, physico-chemical and chemical properties of the soil.

The efficacy of radiotherapy based combined therapy for unresectable locally invasive bladder cancer and its associated factors analysis / 中华肿瘤杂志

Objective: Retrospective analysis of the efficacy and influencing factors of bladder preservation integrated therapy for unresectable invasive bladder cancer confined to the pelvis was done, also including the bladder function preservation and adverse effects analysis. Methods: Sixty-nine patients with unresectable locally invasive bladder cancer who received radiotherapy-based combination therapy from March 1999 to December 2021 at our hospital were selected. Among them, 42 patients received concurrent chemoradiotherapy, 32 underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapyand 43 with transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT) prior to radiotherapy. The late adverse effect of radiotherapy, preservation of bladder function, replase and metastasis and survival were followed-up. Cox proportional hazards models were applied for the multifactorial analysis. Results: The median age was 69 years. There were 63 cases (91.3%) of uroepithelial carcinoma, 64 of stage Ⅲ and 4 of stage Ⅳ. The median duration of follow-up was 76 months. There were 7 grade 2 late genito urinary toxicities, 2 grade 2 gastrointestinal toxicities, no grade 3 or higher adverse events occurred. All patients maintained normal bladder function, except for 8 cases who lost bladder function due to uncontrolled tumor in the bladder. Seventeen cases recurred locally. There were 11 cases in the concurrent chemoradiotherapy group with a local recurrence rate of 26.2% (11/42) and 6 cases in the non-concurrent chemoradiotherapy group with a local recurrence rate of 22.2% (6/27), and the difference in local recurrence rate between the two groups was not statistically significant (P=0.709). There were 23 cases of distant metastasis (including 2 cases of local recurrence with distant metastasis), including 10 cases in the concurrent chemoradiotherapy group with a distant metastasis rate of 23.8% (10/42) and 13 cases in the non-concurrent chemoradiotherapy group with a distant metastasis rate of 48.1% (13/27), and the distant metastasis rate in the non-concurrent chemoradiotherapy group was higher than that in the concurrent chemoradiotherapy group (P=0.036). The median 5-year overall survival (OS) time was 59 months and the OS rate was 47.8%. The 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) time was 20 months and the PFS rate was 34.4%. The 5-year OS rates of concurrent and non-concurrent chemoradiotherapy group were 62.9% and 27.6% (P<0.001), and 5-year PFS rates were 45.4% and 20.0%, respectively (P=0.022). The 5-year OS rates of with or without neoadjuvant chemotherapy were 78.4% and 30.1% (P=0.002), and the 5-year PFS rates were 49.1% and 25.1% (P=0.087), respectively. The 5-year OS rates with or without TURBT before radiotherapy were 45.5% and 51.9% (P=0.233) and the 5-year PFS rates were 30.8% and 39.9% (P=0.198), respectively. Multivariate Cox regression analysis results showed that the clinical stage (HR=0.422, 95% CI: 0.205-0.869) was independent prognostic factor for PFS of invasive bladder cancer. The multivariate analysis showed that clinical stages (HR=0.278, 95% CI: 0.114-0.678), concurrent chemoradiotherapy (HR=0.391, 95% CI: 0.165-0.930), neoadjuvant chemotherapy (HR=0.188, 95% CI: 0.058-0.611), and recurrences (HR=10.855, 95% CI: 3.655-32.638) were independent prognostic factors for OS of invasive bladder cancer. Conclusion: Unresectable localized invasive bladder cancer can achieve satisfactory long-term outcomes with bladder-preserving combination therapy based on radiotherapy, most patients can retain normal bladder function with acceptable late adverse effects and improved survival particularly evident in patients with early, concurrent chemoradiotherapy and neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Long-term Effect of Sling-massage Exercise on Cervical Spondylopathy / 中国康复理论与实践

Objective:To explore the effect of sling-massage exercise on neck type cervical spondylopathy (NTCS). Methods:From June, 2020 to February, 2021, 68 patients with NTCS from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were randomly divided into control group (n = 34) and observation group (n = 34). The control group accepted routine massage, while the observation group accepted sling exercise and massage based on weak link test, for four weeks. They were assessed with McGill Pain Qusetionnaire (MPQ) and Neck Disability Index (NDI) before and after treatment, and measured median frequency (MF) of the upper trapezius muscle on the affected side with electromyography biofeedback before treatment, after treatment, two weeks after treatment and 4 weeks after treatment. Results:Four cases in the control group and three cases in the observation group dropped down. The scores of MPQ and NDI decreased in both groups after treatment (|Z| > 4.879, P < 0.001), while MF increased (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in scores of MPQ and NDI between the two groups after treatment (|Z| < 1.100, P > 0.05), while MF was less in the control group than in the observation group (t = 2.184, P < 0.05). MF decreased more in the control group than in the observation group, and was continually less in the control group than in the observation group after treatment (t > 3.770, P < 0.001). Conclusion:Sling-massage exercise is as effective as massage on NTCS immediately, and for more time.

At least two evaluators extracted the data independently and used Cochrane 5.1.0 bias risk assessment tool to evaluate the quality of included studies. The data was analyzed with Review Manager 5.3 software. Results:A total of eleven studies with 513 children were included. The Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88) D/E scores (MD = 8.14, 95%CI 6.26 to 10.02, P < 0.001), GMFM-88 B score (MD = 8.77, 95%CI 4.00 to 13.53, P < 0.001), modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) score (MD = -1.05, 95%CI -1.25 to -0.84, P < 0.001), Kyphosis angle (MD = -10.67, 95%CI -12.21 to -9.13, P < 0.001), Cobb's angle (MD = -2.66, 95%CI -3.38 to -1.93, P < 0.001), step length (MD = 3.35, 95%CI 1.81 to 4.90, P < 0.001), walking speed (MD = 0.09, 95%CI 0.05 to 0.14, P < 0.001) and GMFM score at six weeks follow-up (MD = 4.84, 95%CI 1.90 to 7.77, P = 0.001) were better in FES group than in the control group. There was no significant difference in MAS score between two groups after six weeks of follow-up (MD = 0.04, 95%CI -0.30 to 0.37, P = 0.84). Conclusion:FES could improve the lower-limb and trunk function of children with cerebral palsy, however, the long-term effect of relieving muscle spasm was not significant.

Acupuncture based on meridian diagnosis for chronic atrophic gastritis / 中国针灸

OBJECTIVE@#To compare the efficacy between acupoint selection of meridian diagnosis and regular acupoint selection for chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG).@*METHODS@#A total of 70 cases of CAG were randomly divided into an observation group (35 cases, 5 cases dropped off) and a control group (35 cases, 5 dropped off). In the observation group, according to the hand diagnosis of meridians and the results of 80-channels energy determinator, based on the principle of child-mother relation acupoint combination, the -connecting point and back- points were added for excess syndrome, and the -primary point, front- points and -sea point of foot meridians were added for deficiency syndrome; in addition, the acupoints of the eight extraordinary meridians were added based on the nature of acupoints. In the control group, Zhongwan (CV 12), Neiguan (PC 6), Zusanli (ST 36) and Gongsun (SP 4) were selected as the primary acupoints, and additional acupoints were added according to syndrome differentiation. The two groups were treated twice a week (Tuesday and Thursday, respectively), totally for 6 months. Six months after treatment, the follow-up was conducted. The clinical symptom score, gastroenteropathy patient reported outcomes (PRO) scale score before treatment, after treatment and during follow-up as well as the score of pathological changes of gastric mucosa before and after treatment were compared between the two groups.@*RESULTS@#After treatment and during follow-up, the clinical symptom scores and gastroenteropathy PRO scale scores were decreased in the two groups (<0.01, <0.001); at the follow-up, the gastroenteropathy PRO scale score in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (<0.01). After treatment, the scores of pathological changes of gastric mucosa in the two groups were decreased (<0.01), and the score in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#The acupoint selection of meridian diagnosis is superior to regular acupoint selection for CAG, which has better efficacy, more significant improvement on gastric mucosa pathology, and more stable long-term effect.

Research progress of superhydrophilic implants / 口腔疾病防治

@#Through a review of the literature on surface treatment of superhydrophilic implants and its clinical application, this paper discusses the shortening of load time, the improvement of the planting success rate and its long-term effect. Additionally, attention should be paid to the nonindication of superhydrophilic implants and issues requiring attention. The literature review showed that healthy patients could carry out an early load 21 days after implantation of superhydrophilic implants, and the load could be completed as soon as 6 weeks after implantation with superhydrophilic short implants when the residual alveolar bone height of the posterior dental area was repaired. Even if the residual alveolar bone density of the patient is low, the application of superhydrophilic implants can shorten the healing period to 8 weeks. Notably, some studies have reported that superhydrophilic implants have no significant effect on patients with a history of radiotherapy and the use of anticoagulants. Because the adhesion of the superhydrophilic implant to the bacteria is also improved to some extent, it is very important to prevent the use of antibiotics when using the superhydrophilic implant. Finally, this paper discusses and anticipates the future research direction of superhydrophilic implants: longer periodic follow-up and more in-depth molecular mechanism studies.

Results The excellent rate of knee joint function recovery was 80.95% in the observation group, and 54.76% in the control group, the difference in the two groups had statistically significant, P<0.05; Three months, nine months, and one years after treatment, the knee joint function Lysholm scores in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group; Three months, nine months, and one years after treatment, AIMS quality of life score in the observation group was significantly lower than those in the control group. Conclusion The long-term effect of sodium hyaluronate in the treatment of moderate knee osteoarthritis is obvious. It can help the knee joint function to be improved significantly, and promote the quality of life of patients significantly improved. It is worth to be widely applied.

Analysis of tumor-free survival rate and recurrence rate of radiofrequency ablation versus surgical resection for small hepatocellular carcinoma / 实用医学杂志

Objective To analyze tumor-free survival rate and recurrence rate of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) versus surgical resection(SR) for small hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods Clinical data of 64 patients (hospitalized from October 2008 to October 2010) with small hepatocellular carcinoma(≤ 5 cm) in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. 29 cases among them underwent RFA, and the 35 cases underwent SR, then they were further divided into two groups according to the tumor diameter (≤ 3 cm vs. ≤ 3 ~ 5 cm). The rate of complete elimination of tumor , complications , recurrence and metastasis , and survival rate out of tumor-free at year 1, 3, and 5 were compared. Accumulated survival rate of the two groups at year 1, 3, and 5 were compared. Results The rate of complete elimination of tumor, and complications in the RFA group were 89.66% and 6.9% respectively, and no statistically significant difference was found compared with the SR group (100% and 14.29%, respectively) . The rate of recurrence and metastasis and 1, 3, 5- year tumor-free rate in RFA and SR group with tumor diameter 0.05) respectively, and for the cases with tumor diameter in 3 ~ 5 cm, these data showed no significant difference between groups (P > 0.05). No significant difference were found in tumor-free survival rate within groups, while rate of recurrence and metastasis was significantly lower in the 0.05). Conclusions RFA and SR had similar medium and long term clinical effect for small hepatocellular carcinoma with tumor diameter≤ 5 cm. The larger in size of the tumor, the higher rate of recurrence and metastasis. RFA is less invasive and can avoid complications and should be considered an eligible treatment for small hepatocellular carcinoma with tumor diameter ≤ 5 cm.
