ABSTRACT
A group of compounds structurally related to tetrahydrocannabinol or capable of binding to cannabinoid receptors are collectively referred to as cannabinoids. Cannabinoids can be divided into plant derived cannabinoids， synthetic cannabinoids， and endogenous cannabinoids. Δ-9-THC is the only psychoactive compound in plant cannabinoids. Cannabis with Δ-9-THC>0.3% is internationally listed as a prohibited drug， while cannabis with Δ-9-THC<0.3% is industrial cannabis. Due to its low addiction and high commercial value， it is allowed to be added to food in many countries. More and more industrial cannabis foods become popular， and the detection/analysis of cannabinoid compounds in cannabis foods is particularly important； In addition to industrial cannabis， which is widely used in food， there are also various new drugs， synthetic cannabinoids， disguised as conventional food， which can cause the social problems and increase the food safety risks. This article will elaborate on the regulatory status of cannabinoid compounds in food， In order to promote the safety supervision of the domestic cannabis food.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveIn order to ensure the food safety of cultured aquatic products in China， strengthen the supervision and improve detection efficiency， a high-throughput screening method for drug residues in aquatic products by mass spectrometry is to be developed. MethodsLiquid chromatography-electrostatic field track well high resolution mass spectrometry and C18 column were used to separate and collect the information of ion fragments and retention time of 195 veterinary drug standards in positive ion mode， and drug residues in aquatic products were extracted by organic solvents. ResultsThe mass spectrum database and detection methods of 195 veterinary drug standards were established， and a pre-treatment method was developed for extracting veterinary drug residues from aquatic products by acetonitrile and ethyl acetate. The detection method was sensitive， accurate， simple and rapid， and the adding standard recovery of more than 80% compounds reached 70%‒110%. ConclusionThe establishment of this method can quickly and massively screen drug residues in aquatic products， provide technical support for food safety risk monitoring and supervision， cope with the increasing demand for aquatic products and aquaculture volume year by year， and provide a theoretical basis for the subsequent development of mass spectrometry high-throughput detection methods.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To summarize the clinical characteristics of patients with cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) and analyze their treatment methods. Methods: From January 2000 to December 2020, patients with CCD who completed comprehensive treatment in the Department of Orthodontics and the First Dental Clinic, School and Hospital of Stomatology, China Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 14 CCD patients [7 males and 7 females, aged (16.1±4.5) years] were collected. There were 153 impacted permanent teeth in this study. In addition to the teeth that needed to be extracted due to special conditions, 147 impacted teeth were pulled into the dentition using closed traction. Patients were divided into adolescent group (≥12 years and<18 years, 10 patients) and adult group (≥18 years, 4 patients). Failure rate of traction was compared between the two groups. Factors affecting the success rate of closed traction such as vertical position of teeth (high, middle and low) and horizontal position of the teeth (palatal, median and buccal) were analyzed. Results: The incidence of maxillary impacted teeth [69.3% (97/140)] was higher than that of mandibular impacted teeth [40% (56/140)]. The difference was statistically significant (χ2=24.22, P<0.001). The supernumerary teeth were mainly located in the premolar area 61.4% (21/44), and most of them were in the palatal region of the permanent teeth 95.5% (42/44). They were generally located at the same height or the occlusal side of the corresponding permanent teeth. The success rate of closed traction was 93.9% (138/147). The success rate in the adolescent group [98.2% (108/110)] was higher than that in the adult group [81.1% (30/37)], and the difference was significant (χ2=14.09, P<0.05). Failure after closed traction of 9 teeth was found totally, including 7 second premolars. The success rate of traction in impacted second premolars at different vertical (χ2=11.44, P<0.05) and horizontal (χ2=9.71, P<0.05) positions in alveolar bone was different significantlly. The success rates of the second premolars were high (15/16), middle (12/13), low (2/7), and lingual palatine (10/17), median (19/19), lip-buccal (0/0), respectively. Conclusions: The closed traction of impacted teeth in patients with CCD was effective, and the age was the main variable affecting the outcome. The success rate of traction in impacted second premolars located in low position vertically or in palatal position was low, which required close observation during treatment.

ObjectiveNano-graphene oxide quantum dots (GOQDs) can be used to target fluorescent markers. The stem cell labeling is an important method in studying stem cell treatments. Our study aims to explore the possibility of using GOQDs as living cell fluorescent marker materials for human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs), and to evaluate the biosecurity and effect as live cell fluorescence markers of GOQDs.Methods GOQDs were testified by TEM, DLS, UV-vis, and PL spectra. hPDLSCs were obtained by tissue cultivation and separated by single cell-derived colony selection. Then the source of the cells was carried out by immunocytochemical staining of anti-vimentin, anti-cytokeratin, and multipotent differentiation was used in the identification of stem cells. hPDLSCs were incubated with different concentrations of GOODs (0, 10, 25, and 50 μg/mL) for 24h and 72 h. Cytotoxicity and proliferation effects were determined using CCK-8, and cell cycles were detected using flow cytometry after the co-culture of GOQDs and hPDLSCs. The fluorescent labeling effect of GOQDs was tested using laser scanning confocal microscopy.ResultsThe characterization of GOQDs showed that the nanoparticles were evenly dispersed in water and showing blue light at 365 nm. TEM and DLS showed GOQDs had good dispersion, and the particle size was (6.36±1.41) nm. Immunocytochemical staining of anti-vimentin was positive while anti-cytokeratin was negative. The results of cytotoxicity showed there were no significant differences in cell activity after incubated with different concentrations of GOODs (0, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, and 400 μg/mL) (P>0.05), and there was no significant decrease in cell activity between 24h and 72h (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the proportional distribution of G1, G2, and S phases between the two concentrations of GOQDs (0 μg/mL and 50 μg/mL) (P>0.05). Fluorescent images showed that GOQDs could enter the cell membrane and increase the fluorescence intensity at the concertation of 50 μg/mL.ConclusionGOQDs were confirmed to have good biocompatibility and could be used for live cell labeling of hPDLSCs.
