Fertilization failure after intracytoplasmic sperm injection continues to affect couples and the etiology is not well-understood.

We characterized a couple with 2-year history of primary unexplained infertility. Three different assisted reproduction attempts (IVF + rescue ICSI, ICSI and ICSI-AOA) showed repeated fertilization failure for MII oocyte retrieval after controlled ovarian hyperstimulation. After whole-exome sequencing and sanger sequencing of the couple and their family members, variant pathogenicity was assessed using SIFT, PolyPhen2, Mutation Taster, and Human Splicing Finder software. We identified novel compound heterozygous mutations, c.1535 + 3A > G and c.946C > T (p. Leu316Phe), in WEE2 in the female proband. Trios analysis of the variations revealed an autosomal recessive pattern. c.1535 + 3A > G in WEE2 was predicted to break the wild-type donor site and affect splicing, and the missense mutation c.946C > T (p. Leu316Phe) of WEE2 was predicted to be pathogenic.

A novel compound heterozygous mutation in WEE2 was identified in an infertile female who experienced repeated fertilization failure even after ICSI-AOA. These novel mutations in WEE2 provided genetic evidence for fertilization failure.

It has been demonstrated in non-oral tissues that the locally evoked vasoconstriction could elicit remote vasoconstriction. This study aimed to investigate the spreading vasoconstrictor effects of epinephrine in the gingiva.

Gingival blood flow (GBF) was measured by laser speckle contrast imager in 21 healthy volunteers. In group A, two wells were fabricated from orthodontic elastic ligature and placed 2mm apically to the free gingival margin at the mid buccal line of 12 (test side) and 21 (control side) teeth. The GBF was measured in the wells and tightly apical, coronal, distal and mesial to the wells. In group B, the wells were made on the buccal surface of the same teeth, including the gingival sulcus. Four regions were selected for measurement from the gingival margin reaching the mucogingival line (coronal, midway1, midway2 and apical). After the baseline recording, 3µg epinephrine was applied into the test, and physiological saline into the control well. The GBF was recorded for 14min.

Epinephrine could evoke intense vasoconstriction propagating to the mucogingival junction, indicating the presence of spreading vasoconstriction in the human gingiva. The attached gingiva is impermeable to epinephrine, unlike the gingival sulcus. This trial was registered in ClinicalTrials.gov titled as Evidence of Spreading Vasoconstriction in Human Gingiva with the reference number of NCT04131283 on 16 October 2019.

A large number of articles in recent years studying the effects of non-surgically assisted tooth- versus bone-borne maxillary expanders in growing patients have found no significant differences in mid-palatal suture disjunction or even dentoalveolar changes. This suggests the need for new criteria and better use of current technology to make more effective devices and enhance the benefits of conventional treatments. This article describes a titanium grade V computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) maxillary expander supported by two miniscrews, along with a 3D printed surgical guide.

The first step was to obtain a digitized model of the patient's upper maxilla. To simplify the process and ensure the placement of the device in a high-quality bone area, the patients' digital dental cast was superimposed with a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan. Improved resistance to expansion forces was secured through the use of 2mm-wide miniscrews, long enough for bicortical anchorage. Placemeing new devices and updating traditional orthodontic procedures.

Digital models, CBCT and CAD/CAM technology, are essential to accomplish the goals proposed in this article. Further studies are necessary to establish safer miniscrew placement sites and insertion angles so as to achieve greater in-treatment stability. Both the clinician and the patient can benefit from the use of current technology, creating new devices and updating traditional orthodontic procedures.

Compassion fatigue, unprofessional behavior, and burnout are prompting educators to examine medical students' affective reactions to workplace experiences. Attributes of both students and learning environments are influenced by their socio-cultural backgrounds. To prevent 'educational cultural hegemony', opinion leaders have advocated research in under-represented cultural contexts, of which Asia is a prime example. This study aimed to broaden the discourse of medical education by answering the question how do students react affectively to workplace experiences in a Chinese cultural context?

In 2014, the authors recruited five female and seven male Taiwanese clerkship students to make 1-2 audio-diary recordings per week for 12 weeks describing affective experiences, to which they had consciously reacted. The authors analyzed transcripts of these recordings thematically in the original Mandarin and prepared a thick description of their findings, including illustrative extracts.

'Older People's Shoes' is a training intervention designed for healthcare assistants (HCAs) to improve the relational care of older people in hospital. The intervention formed part of a broader evaluation, in this paper we describe its development from a learning design and methodological perspective.

Learning theory and an instructional design model were key components of the In-PREP (Input, Process, Review and Evaluation, Product) development methodology used in the design of the 'Older People's Shoes' training intervention to improve the delivery of relational care by front-line hospital staff. An expert panel, current evidence, and pedagogical theory were used to co-design a training programme tailored to a challenging work environment and taking account of trainees' diverse educational experience. Peer review and process evaluation were built into the development model.

In-PREP provided a methodological scaffold for producing evidence-based, peer-reviewed, co-designed training. The product, 'Older People's Shoes', involved a one-day Train the Trainers event, followed by delivery of a two-day, face-to-face training programme by the trainers, with accompanying handbooks underpinned by a range of digital resources.
