    Abstract Knowledge transfer statement: Our proposed estimate of periodontitis susceptibility cases addresses the issue of missing teeth, offering an innovative solution through a generative missing data imputation model. The implications of our findings extend to fostering more robust investigations into the relationships between periodontal health and systemic diseases, thereby offering valuable insights to clinicians for informed decision-making. Moreover, the study's capacity to shape clinical practices and interventions in public health will further fortify health policy strategies.

    Abstract This paper develops a multidimensional poverty index (MPI) evaluation system using multiple measures. We use the China Family Panel Study (CFPS) data to build balanced panel data from 2012 to 2018. Employing the probit model to analyze the impact of land transfer on relative poverty incidence, as well as utilizing the two-way fixed effects model and the logit model, we approach the issue from the perspective of multidimensional relative poverty identification. Our study indicates a decrease in relative poverty among rural households since 2012. Nonetheless, the overall incidence of relative poverty among rural households in China remains high at 20.6%, highlighting the severity of this issue in rural China. Moreover, we examine the heterogeneity of the poverty reduction effects of land transfer-in and land transfer-out. Land transfer can significantly reduce the incidence of relative poverty among rural households, with distinct mechanisms for land transfer-in and land transfer-out. Land transfer-in primarily reduces the relative poverty incidence of rural households through the education, housing, and land dimensions, while land transfer-out focuses on the quality-of-life dimension. Overall, land transfer-out has a more significant poverty reduction effect than land transfer-in. Furthermore, our study reveals that the reduction effect of land transfer on the incidence of relative poverty among rural households persists for at least two years, but by the fourth year, this effect disappears.

    Abstract Here, we present a case of choriocarcinoma with metastasis only to the right inferior pulmonary vein and heart, which is unusual, as the skipping of lung metastasis is extremely rare. The 34-year-old patient presented with cough and hemoptysis. The diagnosis was challenging due to the absence of gynecological abnormalities and elevated β-HCG levels, only revealing a cardiac mass upon imaging. While no abnormalities were found through gynecological ultrasound or gynecological examination, the serum human chorionic gonadotropin β subunit (β-HCG) level was abnormally raised. Echocardiography showed a left atrial myxoma with a size of approximately 6.3×1.81 cm. A left atrial mass resection was performed during cardiac surgery, where it was found that the left atrial mass had originated from the right inferior pulmonary vein. It was approximately 6×3×3 cm in size, with a flesh-red color and firm tissue. Postoperative pathology and immunohistochemistry indicated choriocarcinoma. The cardiac surgery unearthed a mass originating from the right inferior pulmonary vein. Its size and characteristics, along with the chemotherapy regimens that followed, are crucial details for understanding treatment approaches for such atypical cases. Highlight the patient's recovery post-treatment and the effectiveness of the chemotherapy regimen. This offers insights into the potential for successful treatment outcomes in atypical choriocarcinoma cases. The patient underwent chemotherapy regimens with etoposide, cisplatin (EP) ,etoposide, and methotrexate, and dactinomycin alternating with cyclophosphamide and vincristine (EMACO). A satisfactory result was achieved. This case enhances understanding of choriocarcinoma metastasis patterns. It underscores the need for a multidisciplinary approach in diagnosing and managing such rare presentations.

    Abstract Purpose: Herein, we reported a case of retinal cavernous hemangioma (RCH) and its multimodal imaging.
    Case presentation: Many grape-like lesions were incidentally found along the distal portion of the vascular arcade in a 23-year-old man's superonasal quadrant of the retina. The best-corrected visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes. The fluorescein angiography showed saccular lesions that slowly filled with hypofluorescence in the early stage and clusters of aneurysms with hyperfluorescence and a special "fluorescein cap" appearance in the late stage. The optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) B-scan revealed multilocular cavernous spaces with different sizes in the inner retinal layers, varying signals, and an epiretinal membrane. The enface OCTA of retina showed grape-like changes and multiple highly reflective signal cavities with clear and complete boundaries.
    Conclusion: Different multimodal images are better for understanding the characteristics of RCH and more convenient for its diagnosis and follow-up.

    Abstract Objective: To explore the lumbar spine biomechanics of graded ventral facetectomy and determine the appropriate extent of resection for foraminoplasty.
    Patients and methods: We retrospectively measured several radiological parameters of superior articular process (SAP) and bony intervertebral foramen in computed tomography scans of 170 lumbar vertebral discs. The intact finite element (FE) spine of L2-sacrum was modified to simulate foraminoplasty with two typical graded ventral facetectomy methods (Method Ⅰ: basal part resection of SAP; Method Ⅱ: apical part resection of SAP) to explore the biomechanical effects under different physiological motions.
    Results: Examination of the radiological parameters of the bony intervertebral foramen indicated that they were generally narrower than the diameters of commercially available working cannulas. Some of these parameters showed gender differences. The biomechanical evaluation indicated that the range of motion increased gradually with the expansion of the resection extent, and the differences compared to the intact spine at the same level were greater in Method I than in Method Ⅱ.
    Conclusions: The appropriate ventral resection extent of the basal part of the SAP (Method I) was 4 mm, 3 mm, and 3 mm on the lateral view at L3-L4, L4-L5, and L5-S1, respectively. The appropriate ventral resection extent of the apical part of the SAP (Method II) were 10 mm, 6 mm and 6 mm on the lateral view at L3-L4, L4-L5, and L5-S1, respectively. Extensive resection of foraminoplasty may destabilize lumbar motion segments.

    Abstract Many important biological species have been identified as cancer biomarkers and are gradually becoming reliable targets for early diagnosis and late therapeutic evaluation of cancer. However, accurate quantitative detection of cancer biomarkers remains challenging due to the complexity of biological systems and the diversity of cancer development. Fluorescent probes have been extensively utilized for identifying biological substances due to their notable benefits of being non-invasive, quickly responsive, highly sensitive and selective, allowing real-time visualization, and easily modifiable. This review critiques fluorescent probes used for detecting and imaging cancer biomarkers over the last five years. Focuses are made on the design strategies of small-molecule and nano-sized fluorescent probes, the construction methods of fluorescence sensing and imaging platforms, and their further applications in detection of multiple biomarkers, including enzymes, reactive oxygen species, reactive sulfur species, and microenvironments. This review aims to guide the design and development of excellent cancer diagnostic fluorescent probes, and promote the broad application of fluorescence analysis in early cancer diagnosis.
