Management of temporomandibular disorders: a rapid review of systematic reviews and guidelines

Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) impact a significant proportion of the population. Given the range of management strategies, contemporary care should be evidence-informed for different TMD types. A knowledge-to-action rapid review of systematic reviews published in the past 5 years and guidelines published in the past 10 years concerning the management of TMD was conducted. The Cochrane, Embase, MEDLINE, PEDro, and PubMed databases were searched. A qualitative data analysis was undertaken, with quality assessment completed using the AMSTAR 2 checklist. In total, 62 systematic reviews and nine guidelines considering a range of treatment modalities were included. In concordance with current guidelines, moderate evidence supports a multi-modal conservative approach towards initial management. Contrary to existing guidelines, occlusal splint therapy is not recommended due to a lack of supporting evidence. The evidence surrounding oral and topical pharmacotherapeutics for chronic TMD is low, whilst the evidence supporting injected pharmacotherapeutics is low to moderate. In concordance with current guidelines, moderate quality evidence supports the use of arthrocentesis or arthroscopy for arthrogenous TMD insufficiently managed by conservative measures, and open joint surgery for severe arthrogenous disease. Based on this, a management pathway showing escalation of treatment from conservative to invasive is proposed.     

稳定性冠心病血瘀证的血浆定量蛋白质组学探析＊

目的 基于数据非依赖性采集的定量蛋白质组学技术（data independent acquisition，DIA）对稳定性冠心病血瘀证患者的血浆蛋白质进行研究分析，初步探索冠心病血瘀证的关键生物学过程与核心靶点。方法 选择中国中医科学院广安门医院心血管科收治的5例稳定性冠心病患者作为疾病观察组，同时选取健康成人5人作为对照组，采用DIA蛋白质组学技术对受试者的血浆进行检测，确定蛋白质表达量后进行差异蛋白质表达分析、GO富集分析、KEGG信号通路图查询和蛋白质互作网络分析。结果 在差异倍数为1.5倍时，疾病观察组相比于健康对照组，共鉴定到22个蛋白质下调，9个蛋白质上调。进一步的生物信息学分析表明，冠心病血瘀证的生物学过程与补体参与的慢性炎症反应有关，关键信号通路是补体与凝血级联反应的信号通路，核心蛋白质为C反应蛋白、转甲状腺素蛋白、补体因子H、维生素D结合蛋白等。结论 冠心病血瘀证的生物学过程与补体参与的慢性炎症反应有关。     

Practice developments supporting change implementation in Wellington,New Zealand (NZ) for ‘continuity of care when transitioning complex preterm infants from NICU to home’

The discussion paper will focus on continuity of care relating to previous NZ research, specifically to transitioning complex preterm infants from NICU to home based on parent experiences, and on the practice developments that have occurred, to ensure optimal health outcomes. Previous NZ research discovered parent desire a consistent service delivery for the entire transition journey from NICU and at home.An informative and comprehensive opportunity has occurred for reflective professional practice, evaluation, development and implementation which have transpired in positive change through innovative practice developments and support change implementation in Wellington, NZ. This has resulted in the articulation of a model of care that has both embraced and integrated parental desires for a continuity of care process for complex preterm infants. This has been achieved by having the same Discharge Facilitator/Key Case Manager present within the NICU and external to the NICU for Home-based infants for the entire transition journey.The paper will focus and emphasis additional practice development changes and furthermore, will present a real purpose, for other countries to learn of such practice developments that have exemplified a celebratory success for families of Wellington, NZ.     

基于生物信息学的肥厚型心肌病易感基因TNNC1单核苷酸多态性致病表型分析

肥厚型心肌病(HCM)是一种常见的遗传性心脏病,是青少年及年轻运动员心源性猝死的最主要原因之一,其分子遗传学基础为基因突变。TNNC1是HCM的重要致病基因之一,目前仅发现其少量非同义单核苷酸多态性(nsSNPs)位点与HCM发病相关,但该基因其他nsSNPs数量较多,结合临床进行实验遗传检测其基因型与表型的关系,工作量巨大,尚不可行。因此,采用生物信息学方法,从dbSNP数据库中筛选出TNNC1基因全部的nsSNPs,联合4款(Mutation Taster、PolyPhen-2、PhD-SNP和MutPred)专业软件,进行有害性分级筛选和致病关联预测,最后进行突变蛋白三维结构建模及可视化分析。结果显示,首次从TNNC1基因102个nsSNPs位点中预测出疾病相关的18个(G159D、S69R、P52R、D149G、D3V、G140E、N51K、D151V、M47R、G110C、A23D、G140R、K158N、C35Y、R147C、L48P、F74C和V44G)高风险nsSNPs。基于生物信息学方法,以TNNC1基因的nsSNPs为示范,分析其nsSNPs与疾病表型的关系,这为其他遗传疾病致病基因nsSNPs的关联分析打下理论研究基础,具有重要的参考价值。
