Objective: In this study, the clinical effect of negative pressure drainage-assisted irrigation (NPDI) technique was evaluated in treating maxillofacial space infection (MSI) by comparing with traditional technique.
Method: A prospective study was conducted in 58 patients with MSI. The patients were randomly divided into two groups based on different treatment techniques. Thirty patients receiving NPDI were included in NPDI group, and 28 patients receiving traditional technique were included in traditional group. Case data (gender, age, etiology, concurrent illness, diabetes, involved spaces, preoperative white cell count, airway control method) and clinical effect (postoperative hospital stay, total cost of admission) for the two groups were analyzed.
Results: Patients in both groups were cured clinically. There were no significant differences in gender, age, etiology, concurrent illness, diabetes, involved spaces, preoperative white cell count, and airway control method in NPDI group and traditional group (p > .05). The postoperative hospital stay and the total cost of admission in the NPDI group were significantly lower than the traditional group (p < .001).
Conclusion: Negative pressure drainage-assisted irrigation used in the treatment of MSI can shorten the postoperative hospital stay, reduce the total cost of admission, and show favorably clinical effect. It is a clinically recommended method for MSI.

The excited (S) state charge distribution characteristics and fluorescence mechanism of fluorescence probes benzyl (6-cyano-2-naphthoyl)-L-valinate (NPI) and benzyl (6-amino-2-naphthoyl)-L-valinate (NPA) have been discussed using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT). Further analysis by constructing a torsional potential energy curve (PEC) shows that a well-defined minimum energy conformation is observed when the C-C single bond between the valine benzyl ester and naphthalene ring in NPI rotates. For NPA, the most stable conformation is the naphthalene ring conformation with dihedral angle NCCC of -30.

Background: Cervical radiculopathy is a common condition encountered in clinical practice and is characterized by compression or irritation of the nerve roots in the cervical spine.
Objective: To compare the effectiveness of manual intermittent cervical longitudinal mobilization (mICLM) and therapeutic modalities in managing acute, sub-acute and chronic radiculopathy pain.
Methods: This was a multicenter, double-blinded, randomized controlled trial.

Herein, we report the synthesis, characterization, and photocatalytic CO reduction performance for a series of N-annulated perylene diimide (NPDI) tethered Re(bpy) supramolecular dyads [Re(bpy-C2-NPDI-R)], where R = -H, -Br, -CN, -NO, -OPh, -NH, or pyrrolidine (-NR). The optoelectronic properties of these Re(bpy-C2-NPDI-R) dyads were heavily influenced by the nature of the R-group, resulting in significant differences in photocatalytic CO reduction performance.
