Objectives: Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are one of the leading causes of craniofacial pain, and a high incidence of TMDs in young adults has been reported. Previous studies have used surface electromyography (sEMG) and mandibular kinematic analysis for TMDs diagnosis. This study aimed to provide normal reference values of sEMG and mandibular kinematics in Han Chinese adults, compare the sex differences and assess their diagnosis value on pain-free articular TMDs.

- Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are serious adverse drug reactions with limited treatment options and significant side effects.
- A study showed that adalimumab, when used with corticosteroids, improved healing times and had fewer side effects compared to corticosteroids alone.
- Plasma analysis indicated that apolipoprotein A-IV (APOA4) could be a potential prognostic marker for SJS/TEN, warranting further research to enhance treatment protocols.
To control the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, a variety of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines have been developed. However, the rapid mutations of SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein may reduce the protective efficacy of the existing vaccines which is mainly determined by the level of neutralizing antibodies targeting S. In this study, we screened prevalent S mutations and constructed 124 pseudotyped lentiviral particles carrying these mutants.
