Atopic dermatitis (AD), a chronic inflammatory skin disorder, faces diagnostic limitations due to subjective clinical assessments. This study introduces an integrated photoacoustic imaging (PAI)/optical coherence tomography (OCT) system for noninvasive, quantitative evaluation of MC903-induced AD-like dermatitis in mice and Crisaborole efficacy. Multimodal imaging demonstrated Crisaborole's suppression of pathological angiogenesis (50.7% fewer vascular junctions, 23% reduced density, 47% shorter vessel length) and tissue remodeling (20% epidermal thinning, 23% signal decline), validated by histopathology. The system captured in vivo dynamic vascular network restructuring and epidermal alterations during AD progression, revealing temporal links between angiogenesis, hyperplasia, and inflammation. PAI/OCT synergistically provides complementary functional-structural biomarkers, advancing precision diagnosis and therapy in AD models. This work pioneers real-time monitoring of AD pathophysiology, supporting clinical translation through quantitative multiparametric characterization for tailored therapeutic strategies.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of a customized deep learning model based on CNN and U-Net for detecting and segmenting the second mesiobuccal canal (MB2) of maxillary first molar teeth on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans.
Methodology: CBCT scans of 37 patients were imported into 3D slicer software to crop and segment the canals of the mesiobuccal (MB) root of the maxillary first molar. The annotated data were divided into two groups: 80% for training and validation and 20% for testing.

Purpose: To clinically validate the nursing diagnosis "Inadequate Nutritional Intake" based on elements identified within a specific situation theory framework in the context of children with cancer.
Methods: This is a diagnostic accuracy study following the Standards for Reporting Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (STARD) protocol. Specifically, it refers to the clinical validation phase of the nursing diagnosis Inadequate nutritional intake, using a cross-sectional design.

Orthodontic-induced gingival enlargement (OIGE) affects approximately 15-30% of patients undergoing orthodontic treatment and remains largely unpredictable, often relying on subjective clinical assessments made after irreversible tissue changes have occurred. S100A4 is a well-characterized marker of activated fibroblasts involved in pathological tissue remodeling. This was a cross-sectional precision biomarker study that analyzed gingival tissue samples from three groups: healthy controls (n = 60), orthodontic patients without gingival enlargement (n = 31), and patients with clinically diagnosed OIGE (n = 61).

Purpose: For submandibular gland resection, conventional surgery with the naked eye remains the standard. With its excellent automatic focus and high magnification, the ORBEYE 3D exoscope enables precise submandibular gland resection with less stress. Therefore, we aimed to examine the usefulness of the exoscope in submandibular gland resection.

The global surge in the population of people 60 years and older, including that in China, challenges healthcare systems with rising age-related diseases. To address this demographic change, the Aging Biomarker Consortium (ABC) has launched the X-Age Project to develop a comprehensive aging evaluation system tailored to the Chinese population. Our goal is to identify robust biomarkers and construct composite aging clocks that capture biological age, defined as an individual's physiological and molecular state, across diverse Chinese cohorts.
