成人不同垂直及矢状骨面型髁突特征的研究

目的 通过测量分析具有不同垂直和矢状骨面型的成人髁突特征的差异,研究成人骨面型与髁突特征的相关性。方法 选取颞下颌关节正常的成人患者180例,根据∠ANB、∠MP-FH和∠MP-SN将患者分为不同的垂直及矢状骨面型,共9组,每组20例。使用Invivo6软件测量所有样本的髁突长轴径、髁突短轴径、髁突最大横截面积、髁突颈部宽度、髁突上部高度、髁突高度、下颌升支高度,关节前、后、上、内侧间隙,关节结节后斜面角度和关节窝深度、宽度。使用SPSS 23.0软件进行统计学分析,比较各组测量指标的差异。结果 低角患者髁突粗大,关节间隙大,关节窝深而窄,关节结节后斜面角度大,升支长;高角患者则相反。骨性Ⅲ类患者髁突粗大,关节间隙小,关节窝浅而宽,关节结节后斜面角度小;而骨性Ⅱ类患者则相反。结论 骨性Ⅱ类高角、骨性Ⅲ类低角患者髁突特征明显,与下颌发育有关;髁突特征与垂直骨面型、矢状骨面型之间存在关联;垂直骨面型与髁突特征的关联程度比矢状骨面型更强。在临床治疗过程中要加强对髁突及其周围结构的关注。

Functional Fiber Reduces Mice Obesity by Regulating Intestinal Microbiota

Obesity may cause metabolic syndrome and has become a global public health problem, and dietary fibers (DF) could alleviate obesity and metabolic syndrome by regulating intestinal microbiota. We developed a functional fiber (FF) with a synthetic mixture of polysaccharides, high viscosity, water-binding capacity, swelling capacity, and fermentability. This study aimed to investigate the effect of FF on obesity and to determine its prevention of obesity by modulating the gut microbiota. Physiological, histological, and biochemical parameters, and gut microbiota composition were investigated in the following six groups: control group (Con), high-fat diet group (HFD), low-fat diet group (LFD, conversion of HFD to LFD), high-fat +8% FF group (8% FF), high-fat +12% FF group (12% FF), and high-fat +12% FF + antibiotic group (12% FF + AB). The results demonstrated that 12% FF could promote a reduction in body weight and epididymal adipocyte area, augment insulin sensitivity, and stimulate heat production from brown adipose tissue (BAT) (p < 0.05). Compared with the HFD, 12% FF could also significantly improve the intestinal morphological integrity, attenuate systemic inflammation, promote intestinal microbiota homeostasis, and stabilize the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) (p < 0.05). Consistent with the results of 12% FF, the LFD could significantly reduce the body weight and epididymal adipocyte area relative to the HFD (p < 0.05), but the LFD and HFD showed no significant difference (p > 0.05) in the level of inflammation and SCFAs. Meanwhile, 12% FF supplementation showed an increase (p < 0.05) in the abundance of the Bifidobacterium, Lactococcus, and Coprococcus genus in the intestine, which had a negative correlation with obesity and insulin resistance. Additionally, the treatment with antibiotics (12% FF + AB) could inhibit the effect of FF in the HFD. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) function prediction revealed that 12% FF could significantly inhibit the cyanogenic amino acid metabolic pathway and decrease the serum succinate concentration relative to the HFD group. The overall results indicate that 12% FF has the potential to reduce obesity through the beneficial regulation of the gut microbiota and metabolites.

The role of toll-like receptors (TLRs) in pan-cancer

BackgroundToll-like receptors (TLRs) are important components of the innate and adaptive immune systems, and abnormal TLR expression has been linked to a variety of cancers. However, there was a lack of clarity on the association of TLR stimulation with the carcinogenesis of cancer. The study''s goal was to analyse the clinical importance of TLRs expression at the mRNA level in pan-cancer datasets, as well as the link between TLR expression and carcinogenesis, progression, and clinical prognosis.MethodsThe expression profile of TLRs derived from UCSC pan-cancer data was analysed in multiple dimensions, including clinical analysis, immunological subtype analysis, tumour microenvironment (TME) analysis, tumour stem cell correlation analysis, and drug sensitivity analysis. Additionally, we analyse protein-protein interactions, functional enrichment, and chromatin accessibility, as well as TLR expression in single-cell sequencing data.ResultsOur multi-omics analysis results imply that TLRs may operate as a biological marker for carcinogenesis and progression, a potential target for anti-tumour therapy, and a prognostic biomarker, laying the theoretical groundwork for future translational medicine research.ConclusionTLRs are involved in the formation of malignancies and can be explored in further detail as potential prognostic indicators.

Key Messages

• Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are key factors in the process of the innate and adaptive immune response, and their aberrant expression of TLRs have been widely reported in various cancer. However, the association between TLRs stimulation and tumorigenesis of cancer has not been well clarified.
• In this study, in the pan-cancer data, integrated TLR family gene expression analysis, clinical correlation analysis, immune subtype correlation analysis, tumour microenvironment correlation analysis, tumour stem cell correlation analysis, and drug sensitivity correlation analysis were performed.
• TLRs play an important role in the development of tumours and can be studied in depth as potential prognostic markers.
