To investigate the effect of the sizes of osteon-like concentric microgroove structures on the osteoclastic differentiation of macrophages on titanium surfaces, and to provide reference for the surface modification of implants. The silicon wafers sputtered with titanium were selected as the control group (smooth surface specimens) and four concentric groups (concentric circles with the maximum diameter of 200 μ m, the minimum diameter of 20 μ m, the spacing of concentric circles of 10 or 30 μm, the width of microgrooves of 10 or 30 μm, and the depth of microgrooves of 5 or 10 μm) specimens (the total sample size in each group was 27). The width of microgrooves of C10-5 and C10-10 groups was 10 μm, the depth was 5 and 10 μm, and the width of microgrooves of C30-5 and C30-10 groups was 30 μ m, the depth was 5 and 10 μ m, respectively.

This cross-sectional study enrolled patients with OD who visited the Department of Otolaryngology at Fudan University Eye, Ear, Nose, and Throat Hospital between February and June 2024. Psychophysical olfactory test was performed using the Chinese Smell Identification Test (CSIT), which was based on the Chinese population, with the TDI score used as the total score for threshold (T), discrimination (D), and identification (I) tests.

Compound 4 represents the first propionylated prenylxanthone, while compounds 7-9 are the first examples of prenylxanthones adorned with a 2,3-butanediol group. Their structures with absolute configurations were elucidated based on comprehensive spectroscopic analyses, ECD calculation, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, Mo(OAc) induced ECD experiment, and Mosher's method.
