Feasibility of occlusal plane in predicting the changes in anteroposterior mandibular position: a comprehensive analysis using deep learning-based three-dimensional models.

Background: A comprehensive analysis of the occlusal plane (OP) inclination in predicting anteroposterior mandibular position (APMP) changes is still lacking. This study aimed to analyse the relationships between inclinations of different OPs and APMP metrics and explore the feasibility of OP inclination in predicting changes in APMP.

Methods: Overall, 115 three-dimensional (3D) models were reconstructed using deep learning-based cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) segmentation, and their accuracy in supporting cusps was compared with that of intraoral scanning models.

Long non-coding RNA AC105118.1 affects glycolysis to facilitate oxaliplatin resistance in colorectal cancer cells by modulating the miR-378a-3p/KIF26B axis.

Background: Oxaliplatin is a first-line chemotherapy drug for colorectal cancer (CRC), but many patients eventually lose treatment efficacy due to acquired resistance. AC105118.1 is a long non-coding RNA with unknown biological function.

Does participation in sports competitions enhance interprofessional teamwork among medical students? Evidence from a medical school curriculum experiment.

Background: Effective interprofessional teamwork is essential for the efficiency, safety and quality of healthcare system services and requires interprofessional education for medical students. Physical education is a simple and easy way to teach teamwork, which translates into team performance in the work environment. This study was conducted to examine the effectiveness of the physical education competition model, instead of the exams model, for improving teamwork skills among medical students.

The Contributions of Trace Elements on Molecular Subtype-Specific Colorectal Cancer.

Although growing studies have reported the disturbances of trace elements (TEs) homeostasis was closely associated with the occurrence of colorectal cancer (CRC), the clinical value of TEs in CRC with different molecular subtypes was largely unknown. This study aimed to explore the correlation between mutations/MSI status and serum TEs levels in patients with CRC. The serum concentrations of 18 TEs were detected by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry (ICP-MS).

A fluorescent microsphere-based immunochromatographic strip is effective for quantitative fecal blood testing in colorectal cancer screening.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) represents a major health concern that can be screened for by the fecal immunochemical test (FIT), which detects blood in the stool. CRC detection sensitivity for hemoglobin (Hb) combined with transferrin (Tf) is higher than for hemoglobin alone. We developed a europium fluorescent microsphere-based quantitative lateral flow immunochromatography strip to detect fecal Hb and Tf.

Risk factors for developing high-output ileostomy in CRC patients: a retrospective study.

Background: Anastomotic leakage is one of the most serious postoperative complications of rectal cancer. Prophylactic ileostomy has been widely used to reduce the risk and severity of complications of anastomotic leakage. However, prophylactic ileostomy itself has some complications, and ileostomy high output syndrome (HOS) is one of them.
