Objective: We aimed to establish and evaluate a rat model of inhalation lung injury induced by ship smoke. Methods: We monitored the changes of oxygen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide concentration within 20 min after combustion of ship materials with a AIKE four in one gas detector. We detected the changes of arterial blood gas, coagulation time, and lung moisture content (%). Macroscopic and microscopic changes in lung tissue were observed to understand the degree of lung injury. Results: We set 5 g ship materials and smoked 15 min as experimental conditions. Metabolic acidosis in the early stage after inhalation, but metabolic acidosis combined with respiratory acidosis in later stage. Histopathological observation showed diffuse hemorrhage, edema and inflammatory cell infiltration in lung tissue as manifestations of lung injury, and the injury did not recover at 72 h after inhalation, the change of blood coagulation function was not statistically significant. Conclusion: A rat model of inhalation lung injury induced by ship smoke was successfully established, which has the advantages of easy replication, stability and reliability. It can be used to research and treatment inhalation lung injury induced by ship smoke in naval war environment and other cases.

Vaccine hesitancy amongst dental health care workers (DHCW) remains a concern due to the high risk of exposure to COVID-19 and the prolonged duration of aerosol-generating dental treatments. Ubiquitous acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines is critical for achieving herd immunity to combat this pandemic. This study aims to explore the individual, interpersonal and organizational factors contributing to vaccine hesitancy in dental professionals which may assist in the development of educational programs directed at enhancing vaccine acceptance. A total of 112 papers were identified of which 23 were deemed to be suitable. The socioeconomic model was employed as a framework to evaluate the contributing factors for vaccine hesitancy. Concerns over vaccine safety, lack of information, social media, socio-economic status and trust in governmental and pharmaceutical organizations were perpetuating reasons for vaccine hesitancy. The findings of this review highlight the importance of evidence-based vaccine education programs targeted at enhancing the knowledge surrounding COVID-19 vaccines which would assist in eradicating vaccine hesitancy within the dental community. This in turn has crucial implications in promoting vaccine acceptance within the general population.

Academic Publishing insists on taking academic exchange and publication as the main line, carrying out comprehensive management based on science and technology, and fully exploring excellent international publishing resources. Within 5 years, it will form a strategic framework and scale with science (S), technology (T), medicine (M), education (E), and humanities and arts (H) as the main publishing fields. Academic Publishing is headquartered in Singapore and based in Malaysia, with the United States and China providing the main scientific and academic resources. At the same time, it has established long-term good cooperative relations with other publishing companies, scientific research communities, and academic organizations in more than a dozen countries and regions. Academic Publishing uses English and Chinese as its main publishing languages, mainly publishing books, journals, and conference papers in print and online. The vast majority of publications follow the international open access policy, providing stable and long-term quality and professional publications. With the joint efforts of the expert team and our professional editorial team, our publications will gradually be indexed by international databases in stages to provide convenient and professional retrieval for various scholars. At the same time, manuscripts we accept will be subject to the peer review principle, and cutting-edge and innovative research articles will be preferentially accepted for peer reference and discussion. All kinds of our publications are welcome for peer to contribute, access, and download.
