Objective:To investigate the survival outcomes and prognostic factors in patients undergoing radical resection for pancreatic body and tail cancer.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted on 992 patients who underwent radical resection for pancreatic body and tail cancer at the Pancreatic Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2016 to June 2024. In this study, 577 (58.2%) were male and 415 (41.8%) were female,with an age of (65±9) years (range: 26 to 86 years). Follow-up continued until June 2024. Survival rates were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method,and prognostic factors were identified using univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models.Results:Among 992 patients,open surgery was the predominant approach (89.1%, 884/992), and radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy (RAMPS) was performed in 317 patients (32.0%). Combined organ resection,venous resection,and arterial resection were performed in 23.5%, 9.3%,and 11.2% of patients,respectively. The rates of R0, R1-1 mm, and R1-direct resections were 49.8% (494/992),41.5% (412/992), and 8.7% (86/992),respectively. Stage ⅡB was the most common TNM stage (32.2%,319/992). A total of 801 patients (80.8%) received adjuvant chemotherapy. The median follow-up period was 32.0(8.8) months(range:3.2 to 105.3 months),during which 508 patients (51.2%) died. The overall median survival (OS) was 26.4 months,with 1-,3-, and 5-year survival rates of 79.0%,40.0%, and 29.0%, respectively. In the recent five years (from 2020 to 2024), the median OS improved significantly to 34.1 months compared to 20.0 months from 2016 to 2019 ( P<0.01). Histological subtype analysis showed that the median OS time was 26.7 months for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC, n=855),58.9 months for invasive intraductal papillary mucinous carcinoma (IPMC, n=32),and 15.7 months for adenosquamous carcinoma of pancreas (ASCP, n=73) ( P=0.001). Among PDAC patients, adjuvant chemotherapy significantly improved survival (29.1 months vs. 14.4 months, P<0.01);in IPMC patients, adjuvant chemotherapy also extended survival (65.7 months vs. 58.9 months, P=0.047). Although ASCP patients receiving chemotherapy had a longer median OS time than those without (18.8 months vs. 8.9 months),the difference was not statistically significant ( P=0.151). Multivariate Cox regression analysis in PDAC patients indicated that adjuvant chemotherapy, R0 resection, T stage,N stage,and tumor differentiation were independent prognostic factors ( P<0.01). The median OS time by TNM stage was:not reached for stage ⅠA, 51.6 months for ⅠB, 25.5 months for ⅡA, 23.7 months for ⅡB, 23.0 months for Ⅲ, and 14.4 months for Ⅳ. The median OS time for R0,R1-1 mm,and R1-direct resections was 34.1,24.7,and 15.7 months,respectively ( P<0.01). Conclusion:Adjuvant chemotherapy,R0 resection,tumor stage,and differentiation are independent prognostic factors for pancreatic body and tail cancer.

Attention deficit and hyperactive disorder （ADHD） is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder of childhood. It seriously impairs academic achievement， social interaction， and vocational development， and increases the risk of accidental injury and substance abuse. In some cases， the symptoms may also exert an indirect disruptive effect on public order. Its aetiology involves interactions among genetic， perinatal environmental， and psychosocial factors that cannot be fully disentangled by single clinical studies. Therefore， a systematic evaluation of existing animal models is essential for revealing pathophysiology and developing novel therapies. Using the keywords "attention deficit and hyperactive disorder"， "models， animal"， "validity"， and their English equivalents， we systematically searched PubMed， Web of Science， CNKI， and Wanfang for publications from 2000 to 2025 （retrieving 328 publications） and added further references by citation tracking. Eighty-six rodent ADHD models that provided detailed construction protocols， behavioural assessments， neurobiological mechanisms， or pharmacological data were included and classified into spontaneous genetic， genetically engineered， and environmentally induced paradigms. Their face， construct， and predictive validity were compared. Among spontaneous genetic models， spontaneously hypertensive rats reproduce hyperactivity， impulsivity， and stimulant responses well， yet hypertension and sex differences limit specificity. Acallosal mouse strains link corpus callosum absence to ADHD-like behaviours， but neurotransmitter studies remain scarce. Genetically engineered rodents—including dopamine transporter， neurokinin-1 receptor and mediator complex subunit 23 knockout or conditional gene knockout lines—precisely dissect dopaminergic， noradrenergic， synaptic， or epigenetic pathways， yet generally lack full phenotypic coverage， social-deficit modelling， and comorbidity representation， and are accompanied by adverse effects such as growth retardation or ocular defects. Environmentally induced models employ lead， polychlorinated biphenyls， alcohol， nicotine exposures， 6-hydroxydopamine lesions， neonatal hypoxia， early social isolation， or maternal stress to recapitulate core symptoms. However， dose-schedule standardisation is lacking. Behavioural reversibility diverges from clinical persistence， and non-specific phenotypes such as anxiety or depression are common. Overall， no single paradigm simultaneously achieves high validity across all three dimensions. Currently， ADHD models have progressed from single-factor simulations to multidimensional evaluation， yet significant gaps remain in genetic-background standardisation， sex differences， cross-species translation， and syndrome-differentiation modelling under traditional Chinese medicine. Future directions should integrate genetic， environmental， and epigenetic interactions， establish life-span validation systems， and incorporate computational neuroscience alongside integrative Chinese-Western strategies to enhance clinical relevance and translational utility， thereby providing robust evidence-based support for mechanistic elucidation， drug screening and precision intervention in ADHD.

The multimorbidity of rheumatoid arthritis （RA） and periodontitis （PD） has drawn increasing attention， as both conditions are characterized by chronic inflammation， immune dysregulation， and progressive bone destruction. Modern research confirms that PD is a significant risk factor for RA development， and their coexistence mutually exacerbates disease progression. However， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） currently lacks a systematic theoretical explanation for this complex multimorbid relationship. This study， based on the TCM theory of abnormal collateral， thoroughly examines the intrinsic connection between RA and PD multimorbidity， proposing "abnormal collateral as the pivot， with accumulated toxins eroding bone" as the core TCM pathogenesis. The research elucidates PD as the "origin of abnormal collateral"， where its pathogens act as toxic factors that invade the joints through collaterals， triggering RA via mechanisms such as molecular mimicry. The dynamic pathological progression of RA-PD multimorbidity can be described as follows： the displacement of Ying and Wei at the microscopic level manifests as immune hyperactivation， leading to collateral malnutrition； heat-toxins traversing collaterals induce collateral hyperactivity， resulting in pathological angiogenesis； ultimately， toxin accumulation at the pivotal abnormal collateral site erodes bone， activating the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand （RANKL）-receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B （RANK） signaling pathway-driven osteoclast differentiation. This theoretical framework innovatively integrates modern findings in oral microbiology， immune-inflammation， and bone metabolism， offering a holistic and dynamic perspective to understand the complexity of multimorbidity. Given the limited efficacy of current periodontal treatments for RA and the scarcity of reported TCM compound interventions for multimorbidity， the abnormal collateral theory proposes a systematic intervention strategy centered on "governing diseases through collaterals and regulating collaterals with herbs"， along with TCM therapeutic principles such as "unblocking， clearing， and nourishing collaterals". Potential herbal treatments for multimorbidity are also highlighted. Future research should focus on refining TCM syndrome patterns in multimorbid patients and leveraging omics technologies for deeper exploration， thereby providing a theoretical foundation and research direction for TCM in addressing complex multimorbid conditions.

Objective:To assess the effectiveness of kinetic parameters of 18F-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-1007 PET/MR in distinguishing tumor recurrence (TR) from radiation necrosis (RN) in glioma patients. Methods:From January 2023 to June 2023, imaging data of 10 patients (6 males, 4 females; media age of 39.5 years) with gliomas who were suspected of recurrence and were referred for 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/MR scans at Sun Yat-Sen University Cancer Center were retrospectively analyzed. Static parameters from 18F-PSMA-1007 PET scans, including SUV max, SUV mean, metabolic tumor volume (MTV), and total lesion′s PSMA (TLP), as well as dynamic parameters including K 1, k 2, k 3, k 4, net influx rate (K i), and volume of distribution ( Vt) were obtained by using compartmental and multigraphical models. Additionally, parameters from dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) were collected. Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare parameter differences between TR and RN groups. Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between K i and DCE-MRI parameters. Results:Finally, 8 cases were diagnosed as TR and 2 cases were diagnosed as RN. The kinetic compartmental model-based evaluation determined that irreversible 2-tissue model (2T3K) provided the best-fitting results. The differences in SUV mean (median: 2.48 vs 0.89; Z=-2.09, P=0.044), SUV max (median: 4.04 vs 1.40; Z=-2.09, P=0.044), and K i (median: 1.33×10 -2vs 3.87×10 -3;Z=-2.10, P=0.044) between TR and RN groups were statistically significant. Some parameters of DCE-MRI also showed differences between the two groups ( Z=-2.09, P=0.044 for all). The K i yielded moderate correlation with DCE-MRI parameter Ve ( rs=0.650, P=0.042), while correlations between K i and other DCE-MRI parameters were not significant ( rs values: from -0.207 to 0.632, all P>0.05). Conclusion:Dynamic and multi-parametric 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/MR system holds promise for accurately distinguishing TR from RN in treated glioma patients.

Objective:To investigate the epidemiological trends of viral diarrhea pathogens in children in Baotou city, and to provide reference for controlling the prevalence of viral diarrhea and guiding the development of regional vaccines.Methods:Fecal samples were collected from children under five years old hospitalized with viral diarrhea at two sentinel hospitals in Baotou from June 2023 to May 2024. Real-time PCR was used to detect group A rotavirus, norovirus, adenovirus, and astrovirus. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 20.0 software, with Chi-square tests conducted to assess differences. A P value<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:A total of 246 fecal samples were collected, including 153 from males and 93 from females. Among these, 135 samples tested positive, yielding a positivity rate of 54.88% (135/246). There were 82 positive samples from male children and 53 from female children, with no significant difference between genders. Most positive samples (51.85%, 70/135) tested positive for two viruses. Specifically, co-infections of group A rotavirus with norovirus or adenovirus accounted for 98.57% (69/70) of all co-infected cases. Significant differences in detection rates were observed across age groups (χ 2=29.803, P<0.001), with the highest positivity rates in children under one year old and in the 1-year age group. Seasonality, viral diarrhea in Baotou was more prevalent in winter and spring. The G8P[8] genotype of group A rotavirus was the predominant strain. Conclusions:From June 2023 to May 2024, viral diarrhea in hospitalized children under five years old in Baotou is primarily caused by co-infections of group A rotavirus and norovirus, with a higher incidence in preschool-aged children. The G8P[8] genotype of group A rotavirus is the dominant strain. It is recommended to strengthen vaccination and surveillance efforts for viral diarrhea in preschool children, particularly during the winter and spring seasons.

Objective:To explore the incidence, clinical features, genetic variant characteristics and prognosis of Glutaric acidemia type I (GA1) among neonates from Henan Province.Methods:A total of 814 625 neonates undergoing screening for inherited metabolic diseases by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2016 to December 2022 were selected as the study subjects. A retrospective method was adopted to collect the clinical data of the patients. Whole exome sequencing was carried out to detect GCDH gene variants in individuals with positive results by GA1 newborn screening, and Sanger sequencing was used to verify the candidate variants. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), the pathogenicity of candidate variants was rated. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the Hospital (Approval Number: 2019 Medical Ethics Review No. 67). Results:Eight cases of GA1 were diagnosed among the 814 625 neonates. Blood glutaryl carnitine (C5DC) and urine glutaric acid (GA) levels of the 8 children were higher than the normal reference values. In total 12 variants were detected, all of which were missense variants. c. 1064G>A (p.Arg355His) was the most common one, accounting for 21.4% (3/14). Three GCDH gene variants, including 1297G>C (p.Ala433Pro), c. 467G>A (p.Gly156Asp) and c. 1125T>G (p.Cys375Trp), were previously unreported. REVEL software analysis predicted that all of the three variants were harmful. 3D protein structure modeling indicated that the three variants may cause amino acid residue alterations, and c. 1297G>C (p.Ala433Pro) and c. 1125T>G (p.Cys375Trp) may result in increase in hydrogen bonds and may affect the function of GCDH protein. By December 2023, one of the eight children had deceased, and another child had severe clinical symptoms with poor prognosis. Six children had a good prognosis, of which two had mild motor development delay and four had normal development without clinical symptoms. Conclusion:The incidence of GA1 in newborns screened by MS/MS in Henan Province is 1/101 828, and the carrier rate of pathogenic GCDH variants is 1/160. The c. 1064G>A (p.Arg355His) may be the hotspot variant of the GCDH gene among children with GA1 in Henan. Discovery of the three novel variants has enriched the mutational spectrum of the GCDH gene and provide a basis for the early diagnosis, treatment, prognosis and genetic counseling of this disease.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics of SAPHO syndrome in elderly patients with organizing pneumonia.Methods:We reported a case of SAPHO syndrome in an elderly patient with organizing pneumonia.Relevant reports on SAPHO syndrome with organizing pneumonia at home and abroad were retrieved, and the literature was summarized an analyzed.Results:The patient was a 63-year-od female who was admitted to the hospital due to "intermittent fever and cough for more than two months". Before admission, she was previously diagnosed with pneumonia in another hospital with poor response to anti-infective treatment.Chest CT showed multiple bilateral patchy consolidations in both lungs, with migratory changes and reversed halo signs.Her medical history included bone and joint pain(e.g., sternoclavicular joints)and palmoplantar pustulosis.Lung biopsy pathology confirmed organizing pneumonia. 99mTc-MDP bone scintigraphy revealed abnormal bone salt metabolism in multiple bone and joint areas.The final diagnosis was SAPHO syndrome with organizing pneumonia.Both symptoms and imaging significantly improved after prednisone treatment.Two related cases were retrieved from the literature.One was a 57-year-old female reported in the UK, who had been diagnosed with SAPHO syndrome before and was found to have lung consolidations due to respiratory symptoms.Lung biopsy confirmed organizing pneumonia, and she improved after glucocorticoid treatment.The other was a 59-year-old Chinese female who visited hospital due to pain in the lumbosacral part and left lower limb.After being diagnosed with SAPHO syndrome, a chest CT scan was performed and lung consolidations were found.The pathology confirmed organizing pneumonia.The patient improved after treatment with Tripterygium wilfordii. Conclusion:SAPHO syndrome complicated with organizing pneumonia is rare, with diverse clinical manifestations, and responds well to glucocorticoid therapy.

This consensus was developed by the Orthodontic Society of the Chinese Stomatological Association to provide a systematic, scientific, and practical guideline for informed consent in orthodontic care. Orthodontic treatment is typically lengthy, highly individualized, and involves multiple factors such as growth and development, occlusal function, and facial esthetics. Rapid technological advances and diverse risk profiles make the traditional reliance on orthodontist experience or institutional templates insufficient to ensure patients′ full understanding and autonomous decision-making. To address this, the expert panel conducted extensive reviews of domestic and international guidelines, analyzed representative dispute cases, and performed multicenter patient-clinician surveys. Using a multi-round Delphi method, the group established a standardized informed consent framework covering the initial consultation, treatment, and retention phases. The consensus emphasizes that informed consent is not only a fundamental legal and ethical requirement but also a key step in building trust, improving patient compliance, and enhancing treatment satisfaction. Orthodontists should clearly and comprehensively explain treatment plans, potential risks, uncertainties, and associated costs, while respecting the autonomy of patients or guardians, and maintain continuous communication and dynamic evaluation throughout the treatment process. The release of this consensus provides unified and authoritative guidance for clinical orthodontics, helping to standardize informed consent, enhance its transparency, safeguard patient rights, reduce medical risks, and promote high-quality, sustainable development of orthodontic practice.
