Abstract

To investigate the agreement of subjective evaluation of orthodontic treatment outcome and to analyze possible factors that may be related to it. As a randomized clinical trial, with Angle's classification as a stratification factor, our study contained 48 cases with integrity data, which were randomly extracted from 806 orthodontic treatment cases in Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology during July 2004 and August 2008, and gathered post-treatment study casts, cephalometrics and photographs of the 48 cases as the research subjects. Similarly with Angle's classification as a stratification factor, the 48 cases were randomly divided into 4 groups. According to the monomial and combined subjects, 12 clinicians were asked to act as the raters to rank the 12 cases in each group. Overall, there were 1 584 pairings between the raters in the examination of evaluation. The mean Spearman r was 0.565 3 ± 0.239 9. Grouping factor was related to the agreement of subjective evaluation (P<0.05). In the third trial item-Post-M+P, the correlations were the greatest among the judge-pairs (P<0.001). The other five items were at the same agreement level. The level of orthodontic treatment outcome was a factor that influenced the a...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
