    Abstract Objective To explore the feasibility of applying the Malocclusion Impact Questionnaire (MIQ) of Chinese version among Chinese teenagers, through the verification and evaluation of the Chinese version. Methods According to the standard procedures of the international quality of life assessment program, the MIQ was translated, back translated, adapted and updated culturally, and the Chinese version was established. The 161 teenagers with the first orthodontic treatment were included. This patient group was assessed for oral health-related quality of life by the Chinese version of the MIQ and Children's Perception Questionnaire (11-14 years old). The reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the MIQ were evaluated statistically by Spearman and factor analysis. Results A total of 161 valid questionnaires were collected. The internal consistency Cronbach's α of the Chinese scale was 0.887. The correlation coefficient between items and the scale ranged from 0.000 1 to 0.824. A significant positive correlation of the scores was noted between the translated scale and the Children's Perception Questionnaire (11-14 years old), and the correlation coefficient was 0.444 (P<0.001). Conclusion The reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the MIQ are reliable and can be applied for clinical orthodontic treatment.

    Abstract Objectives: The objective of this study is to develop a deep learning (DL) model for fast and accurate mandibular canal (MC) segmentation on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
    Methods: A total of 220 CBCT scans from dentate subjects needing oral surgery were used in this study. The segmentation ground truth is annotated and reviewed by two senior dentists. All patients were randomly splitted into a training dataset (n = 132), a validation dataset (n = 44) and a test dataset (n = 44). We proposed a two-stage 3D-UNet based segmentation framework for automated MC segmentation on CBCT. The Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) and 95% Hausdorff Distance (95% HD) were used as the evaluation metrics for the segmentation model.
    Results: The two-stage 3D-UNet model successfully segmented the MC on CBCT images. In the test dataset, the mean DSC was 0.875 ± 0.045 and the mean 95% HD was 0.442 ± 0.379.
    Conclusions: This automatic DL method might aid in the detection of MC and assist dental practitioners to set up treatment plans for oral surgery evolved MC.

    Abstract Multiple myeloma is currently incurable, and the incidence rate is increasing year by year worldwide. Although in recent years the combined treatment plan based on proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory drugs has greatly improved the treatment effect of multiple myeloma, most patients still relapse and become resistant to current treatments. To solve this problem, scientists are committed to developing drugs with higher specificity, such as iberdomide, which is highly specific to ikaros and aiolos. This review aims to focus on the small molecular agents that are being researched/clinically used for the treatment of multiple myeloma, including the target mechanism, structure-activity relationship and application prospects of small molecular agents.

    Abstract This study aimed to investigate the relationships among sicca symptoms, oral health conditions, salivary profiles and oral Candida in Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) patients. Eighty-five SS patients (mean age = 50.5) and 40 healthy non-SS individuals (mean age = 51.4) were recruited. They self-completed the Sicca Symptoms Inventory (SSI). Decayed, missing and filled surface (DMFS) scores, salivary flow rates, pH and oral Candida colonization were determined. Mean SSI summary scores of SS patients and non-SS individuals were 11.1 and 5.4 respectively ( p < 0.001). The most prevalent sicca symptoms in SS patients were eye irritation (93%), dry throat or nose (88%) and need of fluid for mouth wetting (88%). SS patients had significantly lower whole salivary flow rates than the non-SS individuals. Candida strains were isolated from over 60% of SS patients but not in non-SS patients. C. albicans was the predominant species. SSI summary score was negatively correlated to salivary flow rates while SSI summary and domain scores were positively correlated to the number of filled surfaces (FS) and DMFS scores and oral Candida counts. In conclusion, SS patients had more severe sicca symptoms than non-SS individuals. SSI scores were negatively correlated to the salivary flow rates but positively correlated to caries experience and oral Candida colonization.

    Abstract Background: Sjögren's syndrome (SS) patients are prone to caries development due to reduction of salivary flow. Topical fluoride is commonly prescribed for caries prevention.
    Methods: In this 24-month randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, SS patients were randomly assigned to receive either fluoride varnish or placebo gel quarterly. Development and arrest of caries at the coronal and root surfaces were recorded at 12-month and 24-month and compared to that of the baseline. Effect of fluoride varnish on oral Candida and lactobacilli colonization was explored by comparing baseline oral microbiological assessments to data obtained at 12-month and 24-month.
    Results: Seventy-eight SS patients (mean age = 50 years, 2 men) completed this trial. At 24-month, the mean new coronal enamel caries were 1.6 surfaces in both groups, and new dentin caries were 1.4 and 2.7 surfaces in the fluoride and placebo group respectively (p > 0.05). Mean arrested caries were 0.6 and 0.7 surfaces for fluoride and placebo groups respectively and that of root caries were 0.3 and 0.1 surfaces (p > 0.05). The mean oral Candida count was reduced by 30 % in the fluoride group but increased 61 % in the placebo group while no change in oral lactobacilli counts in both groups at 24 months (p > 0.05). SS patients receiving fluoride varnish were significantly less likely to develop dentin caries (p < 0.05). In contrast, those with high baseline DMFS scores (p = 0.05), harbored mixed Candida species (p < 0.05), or unstimulated whole saliva at low pH (p < 0.01) were significantly more likely to develop dentin caries.
    Conclusions: Results of this randomized clinical trial did not provide clear evidence to support or refute that quarterly applications of fluoride varnish can prevent development of dental caries in people with Sjögren's syndrome.
    Trial registration: This study was retrospectively registered at the ISRCTN registry ( ISRCTN85164658 ) on 9 Sept 2016 and was funded by the Research Grant Council of Hong Kong.

    Abstract Objective To explore the relationship betweenrheumatoid arthritis (RA) and chronic periodontitis (CP). Methods A total of 48 RA patients were recruited from the Rhematology Department of The First Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College (SUMC). RA patients were matched on age and gender with healthy controls, who were recruited from the Stomatology Department. Dental parameters including unstimulated salivary flow rate(UWS), stimulated salivary flow rate (SWS), bleeding on probe (BOP), periodontal probing pocket (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL) and decayed, missing and filling (DMF) were recorded in all cases. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C⁃reac⁃ tive protein (CRP) and Anticyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (Anti ⁃ CCP) were also recorded in RA patients. Results There were significant difference between RA group and health control group on salivary flow rate, BOP, PD, CAL and DMF (P < 0.001). Higher percentage of RA patients were diagnosed as periodontal disease than those in con⁃trol group (P < 0.001). There was relationship between CAL and Anti⁃CCP antibody (P < 0.001). Conclusion RA pa⁃ tients have higher risk of CP, and there might be relationship between RA and CP.

    Abstract A new type of flavored wine was produced by macerating either green tea or black tea into Chardonnay wine and model wine respectively, where the physicochemical properties (pH, titratable acidity, color) were modulated. Significant (p < 0.05) increases of total phenolic content and antioxidant activity (assessed by DPPH, FRAP and ABTS assays) were also observed in the tea macerated wines. A total of 160 phenolic and non-phenolic compounds were identified by HPLC-DAD-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS, where 55 phenolics were newly found in the tea macerated Chardonnay wine. The interaction between wine and tea phenolics led to additional 29 phenolic compounds and 4 non-phenolic compounds that were not found in either Chardonnay wine or tea. Catechin and epigallocatechin gallate were the most abundant phenolic compounds and contributed to the improved antioxidant activities. This study provided a promising prospect of tea as a novel additive in the production of flavored wine with enhanced functionalities.
