    Objective In this study, we aim to translate the original English version of the velopharyngeal insufficiency effects on life outcomes instrument (VELO) into Chinese and test the psychometric properties of VELO among eligible Chinese patients with velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI).Methods The original English version of VELO was translated, back-translated, and adapted among different cultures. Based on the standard procedures of the International Quality of Life Assessment (IQoLA) project, VELO was established for self-assessment by patients and assessment by caregivers. The reliability and validity of our translated VELO were assessed in Chinese patients with VPI and their caregivers.Results A total of 366 questionnaires were completed, 211 of whichwere completed by patients and 155 by caregivers. In addition, 362 (98.91%) valid questionnaires were collected, comprising 109 questionnaires from the patients in the experimental group, 99 from the patients in the control group, 66 from the caregivers in the experimental group, and 88 from the caregivers in the control group. The cronbach’s α of VELO for a patient with VPI was 0.937, and that of a caregiver was 0.950. Meanwhile, the Guttman split-half reliability coefficient of a patient with VPI was 0.908, and that of a caregiver was 0.887. After the content was validated, the items had intermediate or high correlation with corresponding domains. The patients with VPI and control patients were effectively discriminated through VELO, indicating that the results reached the IQoLA standard. The same result was obtained in the caregivers.Conclusion The translated Chinese version of VELO has acceptable reliability and validity. These psychometric properties provide theoretical evidence for further use of VELO in Chinese patients with VPI.

    The function and mechanism of melatonin are current research focus. A number of studies showed that melatonin can promote the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts, thereby inhibiting the activity of osteoclasts and inducing the differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells into osteoblasts. Melatonin can also inhibit the proliferation of dental papilla cells and promote their differentiation. Melatonin is closely related with teeth and bone diseases. The mechanism may be associated with melatonin receptors and their functional pathways. In this review, we summarise the effects of melatonin on hard tissue and its potential mechanism.

    Cell toxicity is a pure cell killing event caused by a cell or chemical substances. The chemical substances act on the basic structure of the cell and/or physiological processes, such as cell membrane and cytoskeleton structure, cell metabolism, synthesis of cellular components or products, degradation or release, ion regulation and cell division. Which leads to adverse reactions such as cell survival, proliferation and/or functional disorder. Triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) is a commonly used diluent of many resin-based dental composites. It is an important relevant monomer responsible for the cytotoxicity of the resin matrix. The monomer can lead to a series of toxic reactions, such as oxidative imbalance, apoptosis, DNA damage and so on. In this paper, the research advances in mechanism of cytotoxicity induced by TEGDMA monomer is reviewed, the aim is to lay the foundation for further clarifying the mechanism of toxicity and to reduce or eliminate the toxic effect.
