    Abstract Objective: This study seeks to examine the impact of anterior and posterior vault distraction osteogenesis (A-PVDO) in conjunction with 3D-printed positioning and shaping templates for the management of Apert syndrome.
    Methods: From January 2018 to February 2022, a retrospective analysis was conducted on 6 cases of Apert syndrome employing fronto-orbital 3D-printed positioning and molding templates. The cranium underwent surgical modification in accordance with the template's configuration and was affixed with absorbable plates. Subsequently, distraction devices were applied, encompassing both anterior and posterior craniotomies. The evaluation encompassed clinical outcomes, complications (including cerebrospinal fluid leakage and infection), safety, and the feasibility of the distraction osteogenesis procedure.
    Results: Six patients diagnosed with Apert syndrome underwent treatment involving the integration of fronto-orbital 3D-printed positioning and shaping templates in conjunction with anterior and posterior cranial distraction osteoplasty. Follow-up durations ranged from 18 to 32 months (average: 22 mo). No instances of fronto-orbital retraction, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, or intracranial infection were noted during the follow-up period. The sole reported complication entailed an infection at the extension rod site in 1 case. All patients conveyed satisfaction with the treatment outcomes.
    Conclusions: The application of 3D-printed positioning and shaping templates in tandem with anterior and posterior cranial distraction osteogenesis demonstrates efficacy in addressing Apert syndrome. Notably, significant enhancements in head shape and orbit were observed, and the incidence of postoperative complications such as cerebrospinal fluid leakage and infection remained minimal. Moreover, long-term follow-up affirmed stability.

    Abstract Salvia miltiorrhiza is an important traditional Chinese medicinal and edible plant that can easily accumulate excessive cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) from contaminated soils. The soil contaminated with heavy metals severely threatened the quality of S. miltiorrhiza products. In this study, we investigated the effects of mercapto-based palygorskite (MPAL), a new passivation amendment, on restraining the uptake of Cd and Pb by S. miltiorrhiza, and the impact on soil micro-ecology. Results showed that the application of MPAL prominently enhanced the biomass and antioxidant enzyme activities of S. miltiorrhiza. With the treatment of 4% MPAL, the Cd and Pb contents in the roots were significantly decreased by 81.42% and 69.09%, respectively. The active ingredients of S. miltiorrhiza, including Danshensu, Cryptotanshinone, Tanshinone I and Tanshinone II were remarkedly increased by 1899.46%, 5838.64%, 54.23% and 200.78%, respectively. In addition, MPAL decreased the bio-availability of Cd and Pb by speciation transformation, which simultaneously boosted the activities of cellulase and sucrase. The application of MPAL also improved the bacterial community composition. These findings revealed that the application of MPAL regulated the soil micro-ecology, positively modified the growth and obstructed the Cd and Pb accumulation in S. miltiorrhiza.

    Abstract Background: The nonsyndromic craniosynostosis is the most common of craniosynostoses in childhood. There are many treatments. We aim to treat 12 cases of nonsyndromic craniosynostosis via posterior cranial vault distraction osteogenesis combined with bilateral parietal distraction.
    Methods: Data of a total of 12 patients (7 boys and 5 girls) with nonsyndromic sagittal synostosis who underwent distraction osteogenesis between January 2015 and August 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Bilateral parietal bone flaps and posterior occipital flaps were designed and cut. Then, distraction device was placed, which was distracted at 5 days after surgery (twice per day, 0.4-0.6 mm/d, and lasting for 10-15 days). After 6 months of fixation, the secondary surgery was performed to remove the device.
    Results: The scaphocephaly was corrected, and the appearance was satisfactory. Postoperative follow-up time was 6 to 14 months, with an average of 10 months, and the mean CI was 63.2 and 78.25 before and after surgery, respectively; the mean anterior-posterior skull diameter was shortened (12.63 ± 3.47) mm, the transverse diameter of both temporal regions was lengthened (15.4 ± 4.18) mm, and the scaphocephalic deformity was significantly improved. There was no detachment or rupture of the extender postoperatively. No severe complications, such as radiation necrosis or intracranial infection, were observed.
    Conclusion: Posterior cranial retraction combined with bilateral parietal distraction in children with nonsyndromic craniosynostosis, in which the proposed technique did not exhibit severe complications, and it is worthy of further promotion and application in clinical practice.

    Abstract Background: Elderly patients are frequently excluded from randomized trials. It is unclear if adjuvant chemotherapy improves outcomes of colorectal cancer in such patients. The current study aimed to review evidence on the impact of adjuvant chemotherapy on overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in elderly patients with stage II/III colorectal cancer by pooling data from real-world studies.
    Methods: PubMed, Embase, ScienceDirect, CENTRAL, and Google Scholar databases were searched for observational studies reporting adjusted data on OS and DFS in elderly (≥70 years) colorectal cancer patients based on receipt of adjuvant chemotherapy.
    Results: Thirteen studies included. The meta-analysis demonstrated statistically significant improved OS in elderly patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy (p < 0.00001). Results were similar for sub-group analysis based on cancer stage and definition of elderly. Improvement in OS was noted in only Western population studies with no difference in Asian patients. The meta-analysis also revealed no statistically significant difference in DFS in elderly patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy vs surgery alone (p = 0.14).
    Conclusion: Real-world evidence indicates that adjuvant chemotherapy significantly improved OS but not DFS in elderly colorectal cancer patients. Scarce evidence suggests a limited role of adjuvant chemotherapy in Asian patients which needs confirmation by further studies.

    Abstract Exposure to even trace amounts of Cd(II) and Pb(II) in food can have serious effects on the human body. Therefore, the development of novel electrochemical sensors that can accurately detect the different toxicity levels of heavy metal ions in food is of great significance. Based on the principle of green chemistry, we propose a new type of boron and nitrogen co-doped carbon (BCN) material derived from a metal-organic framework material and study its synthesis, characterization, and heavy-metal ion detection ability. Under the optimum conditions, the BCN-modified glassy carbon electrode was studied using square-wave anodic stripping voltammetry, which showed good electrochemical responses to Cd(II) and Pb(II), with sensitivities as low as 0.459 and 0.509 μA/μM cm², respectively. The sensor was successfully used to detect Cd(II) and Pb(II) in Beta vulgaris var. cicla L samples, which is consistent with the results obtained using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. It also has a strong selectivity for complex samples. This study provides a novel approach for the detection of heavy metal ions in food and greatly expands the application of heteroatom-doped metal-free carbon materials in detection platforms.

    Abstract Copigmentation effect of flavonoids on black mulberry juice and its main anthocyanin, cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G), was evaluated. Results showed that the hyperchromic effect of flavonols, such as kaempferol (KAE), hyperoside (HYP), rutin (RUT), quercetin (QTI) and isoquercitrin (IQT), was better than that of quercitrin (QTR) and catechin (CAT). The degradation rate constant (k) of C3G decreased by 8.6 %∼50.0 % when KAE, HYP, RUT, QTI and IQT were added, whilst half-life (t₁/₂), activation energy (Eₐ) and hydration reaction equilibrium constant (pKₕ) increased by 7.4 %∼99.0 %, 60.0 %∼95.7 % and 8.3 %∼37.8 % respectively. Meanwhile, the maximum absorption wavelength of the mixture displayed bathochromic shift. Molecular simulation indicated that the interaction energy with C3G was KAE > HYP > RUT > QTI > IQT > QTR > CAT. The main driving force forming C3G-flavonol complex were hydrogen bond and Van der Waals interaction. These results will provide theoretical reference to enhance color stability of food rich in anthocyanins.

    Abstract Objectives: This study was aimed to develop a nomogram that can accurately predict the likelihood of cognitive dysfunction in individuals with abdominal obesity by utilizing various predictor factors.
    Methods: A total of 1490 cases of abdominal obesity were randomly selected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database for the years 2011-2014. The diagnostic criteria for abdominal obesity were as follows: waist size ≥ 102 cm for men and waist size ≥ 88 cm for women, and cognitive function was assessed by Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease (CERAD), Word Learning subtest, Delayed Word Recall Test, Animal Fluency Test (AFT), and Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST). The cases were divided into two sets: a training set consisting of 1043 cases (70%) and a validation set consisting of 447 cases (30%). To create the model nomogram, multifactor logistic regression models were constructed based on the selected predictors identified through LASSO regression analysis. The model's performance was assessed using several metrics, including the consistency index (C-index), the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC), calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA) to assess the clinical benefit of the model.
    Results: The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that age, sex, education level, 24-hour total fat intake, red blood cell folate concentration, depression, and moderate work activity were significant predictors of cognitive dysfunction in individuals with abdominal obesity (
    Conclusion: Age, sex, education level, 24-hour total fat intake, red blood cell folate concentration, depression, and moderate work activity were identified as predictive factors for cognitive dysfunction in individuals with abdominal obesity. In conclusion, the nomogram model developed in this study can effectively predict the clinical risk of cognitive dysfunction in individuals with abdominal obesity.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of prolonging predilated transverse cervical flap with stepwise pressure packing for neck and chest lesions in children.
    Methods: A retrospective review of children with large cervicothoracic lesions admitted to our department from January 2011 to June 2021 was conducted to compare stepwise pressure packing with normal dressing in the surgical method of transverse cervical pedicled flaps after expansion. Among 58 included children, 22 (14 males and 8 females) were allocated to the extended and expanded transverse cervical flap with stepwise compression dressing group, and 36 (19 males and 17 females) to the transverse cervical flap group. The causes of skin defects were: scars (37 cases) and giant nevus (21 cases). The course of the disease ranged from 0.5 to 8 years. The two groups were compared in terms of child satisfaction, the occurrence of infection, recurrence of the contracture, secondary operation, and repaired area.
    Results: In 22 cases of extended transverse cervical flaps, 8 cases were embedded with two expanders, resulting in a total of 30 expanded flaps, which were successfully transferred to the neck and chest without necrosis at the distal end of compression, with good effect. Comparison of pedicled transverse cervical flaps with stepwise pressure packing and pedicled transverse cervical flaps alone revealed no significant difference in child satisfaction, the occurrence of infection, recurrence of the contracture, and secondary surgery (all
    Conclusion: Prolongation of pedicled cervical flaps after expansion with stepwise pressure packing resulted in an effective method for repairing the large skin defect of children's face and neck caused by various diseases. In terms of increasing neck repair area, the operation with stepwise pressure dressing was significantly superior to the simple packing.
