Understanding the morphology and hemodynamics of cerebral vasculature at large penetration depths and microscale resolution is fundamentally important to decipher brain diseases Among the various imaging technologies, three-photon 3P microscopy is of significance by virtue of its deep-penetrating capability and submicron resolution, which especially benefits in vivo vascular imaging Aggregation-induced emission luminogens AIEgens have been recognized to be extraordinarily powerful as 3P probes However, systematic studies on the structure-performance relationship of 3P AIEgens have been seldom reported Herein, a series of AIEgens has been designed and synthesized By intentionally introducing benzene rings onto electron donors D and acceptors A, the molecular distortion, conjugation strength, and the D-A relationship can be facilely manipulated Upon encapsulation with DSPE-PEG2000, the optimized AIEgens are successfully applied for 3P microscopy with emission in the far-red/near-infrared-I NIR-I, 700-950 nm region under the near-infrared-III NIR-III, 1600-1870 nm excitation Impressively, using mice with an opened skull, vasculature within 1700 μm and a microvessel with a diameter of 22 μm in deep mouse brain were clearly visualized In addition, the hemodynamics of blood vessels were well-characterized Thus, this work not only proposes a molecular design strategy of 3P AIEgens but also promotes the performance of 3P imaging in cerebral vasculatureExtrusion of separated endodontic instruments is a frustrating complication that can occur during root canal treatment and is difficult to handle This report aimed to introduce different methods to retrieve such separated instruments through three cases with different locations of fragments Fragments extruded completely into the maxillary sinus, partially into the maxillary sinus and lying in the soft tissue were retrieved using a lateral window approach, ultrasonic method and minimally invasive surgery, respectively These methods can be recommended for retrieving fragments in certain cases To determine the effect of different energy densities of near infrared diode lasers with wavelengths of 810 or 940 nm on the proliferation and survival of periodontal ligament derived stem cells PDLSCs After isolation and characterisation, PDLSCs were cultured in clear 96-well plates Each well was irradiated by either 810 nm L1 or 940 nm L2 lasers, with energy densities of 05, 15 and 25 J/cm2 and an output power of 100 mW A non-irradiated well was used as a control Cellular viability was measured 24 hours after irradiation using 3-4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide MTT assay and proliferation was measured 24, 48 and 72 hours after irradiation using trypan blue staining and counting Propidium iodide PI staining was used to identify any pyknotic nuclei or nuclear fragmentation 72 hours after irradiation An increase in viability was observed only in the group with the 940 nm laser irradiation at energy density of 25 J/cm2 P lt; 0001 The proliferation of cells was significantly increased in the group with 940 nm laser irradiation at energy density of 25 J/cm2 at all the time points examined in comparison to other groups P lt; 0001 PI staining showed no change in cell nuclei in any of the groups Irradiation of PDLSCs with a 940 nm laser at an energy density of 25 J/cm2 could promote efficient cell proliferation Irradiation of PDLSCs with a 940 nm laser at an energy density of 25 J/cm2 could promote efficient cell proliferation To estimate the mean prevalence of periodontal pathology of adjacent second molars A-M2s to third molars M3s and identify related confounding factors Studies published before August 2020 were systematically searched in the Cochrane Library, EMBASE and MEDLINE databases We included cross-sectional studies that evaluated the periodontal pathology of A-M2s based on clinical or radiographic examinations at the molar level Studies employing similar periodontal parameters were pooled Clinical attachment loss ≥ 3 mm, alveolar bone loss ≥ 3 mm or ≥ 20 root length were defined as early periodontal defects, and at least one site with probing depth ≥ 5 mm was considered as deep periodontal pockets around A-M2s in the data synthesis Nine studies 14,749 M3s were ultimately included in the meta-analysis On average, 19 of A-M2s showed distal early periodontal defects with the presence of M3s 95 confidence interval [95 CI] 9-35 Subgroup analyses suggested the prevalence was 32 95 CI 16-54 in the mandible, and the prevalence was higher with nonimpacted M3s 25, 95 CI 12-47 than with impacted M3s 19, 95 CI 10-35 Additionally, the pooled prevalence for deep periodontal pockets around A-M2s was 52 95 CI 39-64 Subgroup analyses suggested the prevalence was higher in the mandible 62, 95 CI 45-76 than in the maxilla 43, 95 CI 31-56, and for nonimpacted M3s the prevalence reached 50 95 CI 36-64 The presence of M3s, especially mandibular and nonimpacted M3s, negatively affects the periodontal status of A-M2s The presence of M3s, especially mandibular and nonimpacted M3s, negatively affects the periodontal status of A-M2s To conduct a systemic review for guidance regarding the application of templates in mandibular reconstruction with vascularised iliac flaps By searching PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library and collecting relevant literature, information about the types and accuracy of templates was extracted Data relating to surgical time were also included for further analysis Eight studies were included The data analysis showed that the accuracy of operations with templates was higher than that of conventional surgery The mean deviation was between 070 and 372 mm The operational time was shortened to 3144 minutes and the graft ischemic time was reduced to 156 to 268 minutes Application of functional or specifically designed templates can improve the accuracy and shorten surgical time Templates can increase the accuracy and efficiency of mandibular reconstruction with vascularised iliac flaps, which will benefit patients' prognosis and subsequent functional

attention in the field of regenerative medicine owing to their various advantages including their small size, large specific surface area and mimicry of the 3D native environment These characteristics enable them to adopt the narrow and irregular anatomy of the tooth and become an ideal scaffold for endodontic regeneration Microspheres play an important role in carrying biologics cells, biomolecules and drugs, which effectively regulate the fate of stem cells and control the release of growth factors and drugs Cell-laden microspheres, which can be divided into microcarriers and microcapsules, have great application prospects in dental pulp regeneration This paper summarises the properties and characteristics of microsphere scaffolds used in tissue engineering, placing emphasis on their advantages and applications in endodontic regenerationNon-syndromic cleft lip with/without cleft palate NSCL/P is one of the most common birth defects in humans with an overall prevalence of one per 1000 live births Due to genetic and environmental influences, the fusion of the lips or palate may be interrupted at any stage and cause a cleft Over decades, dozens of susceptible genes and loci have been identified using multiple genetic approaches Our group has collected samples of NSCL/P patients since 2008 and established the biobank We discovered numerous susceptible loci related to the occurrence of NSCL/P in the Chinese population, such as 16p133, 1q322, 10q253 and 17p131 In addition, we performed functional studies on related loci and genes by using molecular biology, cell biology, animal models and other methods to provide a basis for the construction of the NSCL/P genetic map in the Chinese population and help to implement individualised prophylaxis and treatment Future efforts will focus on identifying functional variants, investigating pathways and other interactions, and including phenotypic and ethnic diversity in researchExtensive research has indicated that high glucose levels play an important role in cancer A high glycaemic index, glycaemic load diet, high sugar intake, high blood glucose and diabetes mellitus all increase the risk of cancer Various signals are involved in high glucose-induced tumorigenesis, cancer proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and multidrug resistance Reactive oxygen species might be important targets in cancer progression that are induced by high glucose levels Drugs such as metformin and resveratrol may inhibit high glucose-induced cancer As the impact of high glucose levels on cancer progression and therapy is a novel finding, further research is required Alloplasty is one of the most frequently performed procedures, as it hugely improves the quality of life The
