Article Synopsis
  • - Sphenoid sinus mucocele (SSM) is a rare condition in children, accounting for only 1% to 3% of paranasal sinus mucoceles, and can result in unexpected symptoms like blindness.
  • - A case study focused on a 9-year-old girl who experienced sudden vision loss due to SSM, leading to her diagnosis through an orbital MRI after first consulting an eye doctor.
  • - The girl underwent successful endoscopic surgery, which relieved her vision immediately, showcasing the importance of early diagnosis and intervention by various specialists to manage SSM effectively in pediatric patients.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate inpatient services in 49 tertiary comprehensive hospitals using indicators from the diagnosis related groups (DRG) payment system.

Method: DRG data from 49 tertiary comprehensive hospitals were obtained from the quality monitoring platform for provincial hospitals, and relevant indicators were identified. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used to compute the weight of each indicator.

A novel three-dimensional Cd coordination polymer, namely, poly[[(μ-benzene-1,4-diacetato)(μ-benzene-1,4-diacetato)bis{μ-bis[4-(2-methylimidazol-1-yl)phenyl]methanone}dicadmium(II)] tetartohydrate], {[Cd(CHO)(CHNO)]·0.25HO} or {[Cd(PBEA)(MIPMO)]·0.25HO}, (I), was synthesized by the hydrothermal method using benzene-1,4-diacetic acid (HPBEA), bis[4-(2-methylimidazol-1-yl)phenyl]methanone (MIPMO) and Cd(NO)·6HO.

Article Synopsis
  • - A unique case of the mitochondrial m.13513G>A mutation was found in a 16-year-old Chinese patient presenting with isolated Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON), with no other eye or systemic issues reported.
  • - The study included blood tests from the patient and family members, comparing them against a control group; only the patient showed significant levels of the mutation at 33.56%, diminishing over time, while no mutations were found in the family or 100 healthy volunteers.
  • - The findings suggest that whole mitochondrial genome sequencing is recommended for diagnosing LHON in cases where initial tests for common mutations yield negative results.

The first catalytic asymmetric construction of chiral dihydrobenzo[ e]indole scaffolds has been established in a highly diastereo- and enantioselective mode (30 examples, up to 99% yield, >95:5 dr, >99% ee), which makes use of chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloannulations of azonaphthalene derivatives with 3-vinylindoles. This reaction also represents the first catalytic asymmetric cycloannulation of azonaphthalene derivatives with alkenes, which will not only provide a useful method for constructing enantioenriched dihydrobenzo[ e]indole scaffolds but also advance the chemistry of catalytic asymmetric reactions of azonaphthalene derivatives.

Purpose: To investigate the influence of IL-35 in the pathogenesis of periodontitis and oral lichen planus, and the correlation between periodontitis and oral lichen planus patients.

Methods: The gingival crevicular fluid(GCF) and serum were collected from patients with oral lichen planus (n=20), periodontitis (n=20), periodontitis and oral lichen planus (n=20) and healthy controls (n=12). The patients' basic information, probing depth, clinical attachment loss, gingival index, sulcus bleeding index were measured and collected.
