Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a common head and neck malignancy. Approximately 50% to 60% of patients with OSCC are diagnosed at a locally advanced stage (clinical staging III-IVa). Even with comprehensive and sequential treatment primarily based on surgery, the 5-year overall survival rate remains below 50%, and patients often suffer from postoperative functional impairments such as difficulties with speaking and swallowing. Programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) inhibitors are increasingly used in the neoadjuvant treatment of locally advanced OSCC and have shown encouraging efficacy. However, clinical practice still faces key challenges, including the definition of indications, optimization of combination regimens, and standards for efficacy evaluation. Based on the latest research advances worldwide and the clinical experience of the expert group, this expert consensus systematically evaluates the application of PD-1 inhibitors in the neoadjuvant treatment of locally advanced OSCC, covering combination strategies, treatment cycles and surgical timing, efficacy assessment, use of biomarkers, management of special populations and immune related adverse events, principles for immunotherapy rechallenge, and function preservation strategies. After multiple rounds of panel discussion and through anonymous voting using the Delphi method, the following consensus statements have been formulated: 1) Neoadjuvant therapy with PD-1 inhibitors can be used preoperatively in patients with locally advanced OSCC. The preferred regimen is a PD-1 inhibitor combined with platinum based chemotherapy, administered for 2-3 cycles. 2) During the efficacy evaluation of neoadjuvant therapy, radiographic assessment should follow the dual criteria of Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 and immune RECIST (iRECIST). After surgery, systematic pathological evaluation of both the primary lesion and regional lymph nodes is required. For combination chemotherapy regimens, PD-L1 expression and combined positive score need not be used as mandatory inclusion or exclusion criteria. 3) For special populations such as the elderly (≥ 70 years), individuals with stable HIV viral load, and carriers of chronic HBV/HCV, PD-1 inhibitors may be used cautiously under the guidance of a multidisciplinary team (MDT), with close monitoring for adverse events. 4) For patients with a poor response to neoadjuvant therapy, continuation of the original treatment regimen is not recommended; the subsequent treatment plan should be adjusted promptly after MDT assessment. Organ transplant recipients and patients with active autoimmune diseases are not recommended to receive neoadjuvant PD-1 inhibitor therapy due to the high risk of immune related activation. Rechallenge is generally not advised for patients who have experienced high risk immune related adverse events such as immune mediated myocarditis, neurotoxicity, or pneumonitis. 5) For patients with a good pathological response, individualized de escalation surgery and function preservation strategies can be explored. This consensus aims to promote the standardized, safe, and precise application of neoadjuvant PD-1 inhibitor strategies in the management of locally advanced OSCC patients.

Objective To gain insights into the biological characteristics of different populations of Culex tritaeniorhynchus within and around the Yellow Sea wetland from the perspective of the occurrence of resistance, we investigated the levels of resistance to deltamethrin and kdr gene mutation in the wetland and its peripheral areas. Methods Specimens were collected from Cx. tritaeniorhynchus populations at two monitoring sites in the Rare Bird National Nature Reserve and Tiaozi Ni Wetland Scenic Area, and also from two populations in Yancheng City and the Liuhe District of Nanjing, and the resistance of these mosquitoes to deltamethrin was determined using the CDC biotest bottle method. For each concentration of deltamethrin assessed, a random subset of exposed specimens was selected for amplification of the kdr gene fragment, followed by Sanger sequencing to identify and analyze resistance-associated mutations. Results The LC50 levels of deltamethrin among mosquitoes from the four populations in Luhe, Yancheng, the Rare Bird National Nature Reserve and the Tiaozi Ni Wetland Scenic Area were 2.048 5, 7.798 2, 3.473 3, and 17.695 5 mg/mL, respectively, with corresponding concentrations of deltamethrin ranging from 0.005 to 5.000,0.050 to 50.000,0.050 to 25.000 and 0.050 to 50.000 mg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, the ranges of the KT50 values were 11.76-107.43, 67.05-216.30,29.77-107.43 and 28.40-329.51 min; the 1-h knockdown rates were 34.58%-99.15%, 9.52%-43.80%, 55.09%-73.01%, and 10.09%-68.07%; and the 24-h mortality rates were 12.15%-67.52%,9.52%-79.56%,13.17%-82.21%, and 11.01%-78.99%, respectively. With respect to kdr gene mutation, we assayed a total of 63,70,59, and 57 mosquitoes for the four populations, for which we detected L1014F mutation frequencies of 14.29%, 35.00%, 20.34%, and 31.58%, respectively, with a majority of these mutations being heterozygous for resistance. In addition, five adult mosquitoes were identified has having synonymous mutations at site 1011[i. e. , AAT(asparagine)mutation to AAC(asparagine)]. Conclusions Our findings revealed the clear resistance of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus to deltamethrin in the Yancheng region of the Yellow Sea wetland, and the resistance phenotype and kdr frequency of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus in the wetland environment were comparable to those of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus in the wetland environment, thereby indicating that the resistance of different populations of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus was homogeneous under the pressure of different insecticide selection within and around the wetland. However, the underlying mechanisms need to be further studied.

Objective To analyze the application of in-use laparoscopes in clincal departments to enhance the laparoscope's effectiveness.Methods The effective utilization data of 29 laparoscopes from January 2024 to June 2024 were acquired with an hospital intelligent medical device management platform.Comparisons were carried out in terms of average daily workload,average daily hours of use and average daily efficiency between the laparoscopes from different departments and brands with non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test and between the conventional and 3D laparoscopes with non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test.Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between the number of years of laparoscope use and the average daily workload,the average daily hours of use,and the average daily efficiency and the chi-square test was applied to investigating the relationship between the surgery grade and the type of equipment selected.Results Thoracic sugery department had the highest average daily workload(3.82 person-time),while the general medical department had the highest average daily hours of use(443.76 min)and the highest daily efficiency(92.45％).There were significant differences between the laparoscopes from different departments in average daily workload,average daily hours of use and average daily efficiency(P＜0.05).Brand D laparoscope behaved the best among brands of laparoscopes with the highest average daily workload(3.72 person-time),average daily hours of use(394.41 min)and average daily efficiency(82.17％).There were sig-nificant differences between the brands of laparoscopesin average daily workload,average daily hours of use and average daily efficiency(P＜0.05).3D laparoscopes obviously gained advantages over the conventional ones in average daily workload,average daily hours of use and average daily efficiency(P＜0.05).The number of years of use correlated negatively with average daily workload,average daily hours of use and average daily efficiency,with Pearson correlation coefficients being-0.095,-0.039 and-0.039 respectively.Grade Three and Four surgeries had significant differences in types of selected equipment(P＜0.001),and 3D laparoscopes were preferred for Grade Four surgery.Conclusion Utilization analysis of laparoscopes provides data support for optimized application and setup of laparoscopes.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(2):87-91]

Objective:To investigate the application value of dual-layer detector spectral CT in the precise outlining of gross tumor volume (GTV) in lung cancer patients.Methods:Imaging data of 39 patients with pathologically confirmed lung cancer on dual-energy enhanced CT scans in Hebei Medical University Third Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 13 patients were not complicated with lung atelectasis and 26 cases were complicated with lung atelectasis and 9 of them received positron emission computed tomography (PET-CT) scan. The virtual single-energy images of arterial and venous dual-phase 40 keV images were reconstructed with the spectral base images of Iqon dual-energy CT, and the GTV of the primary foci was outlined using the reconstructed images and conventional enhanced CT images. The GTV outlined by conventional enhanced CT image, 40 keV virtual monoenergetic (VM) CT image, 40 keV VM-iodine density (VM-ID) fusion image in the arterial phase, conventional enhanced CT image, 40 keV VM image and 40 keV VM-ID image in the venous phase and PET-CT image was defined as GTV ACT, GTV A40VM, GTV A40VMID, GTV VCT, GTV V40VM, GTV V40VMID and GTV PET-CT, respectively. The consistency of target area outlining was assessed by calculating the GTV volume, the Dice similarity coefficient (DSC), and the 95 th percentile of the Hausdorff distance (HD95). Pairwise comparison among groups was conducted by Friedman test and corrected by Bonferroni correction. Results:In GTV comparisons, the differences in GTV ACT, GTV VCT, GTV A40VM and GTV V40VM in patients without pulmonary atelectasis were not statistically significant ( χ2=1.89, P=0.595). The DSC and HD95 of GTV ACTvs. GTV A40VM were 0.96 and 3.00, and the DSC and HD95 of GTV VCTvs. GTV V40VM were 0.94 and 2.93, respectively. The differences in GTV ACT, GTV A40VM, GTV A40VMID, GTV VCT, GTV V40VM, GTV V40VMID and GTV PET-CT in patients complicated with pulmonary atelectasis were statistically significant (all P<0.001). Pairwise comparison of Bonferroni correction showed that there was no statistically significant difference in GTV A40VM, GTV A40VMID, GTV V40VM, GTV V40VMID and GTV PET-CT (all P=1.000), all of which were significantly smaller than those of GTV ACT and GTV VCT (both P=0.001), and there was no statistically significant difference between GTV ACT and GTV VCT (both P=1.000). Based on the tumor extent shown by PET-CT (standardized uptake value =2.5), DSC were slightly higher and HD95 were slightly lower than conventional enhanced CT of GTV A40VM, GTV V40VM, GTV A40VMID, GTV V40VMIDvs. GTV PET-CT, respectively. When the arterial phase sequences were compared with PET-CT, pairwise comparison of Bonferroni correction showed that the DSC and HD95 of GTV A40VMvs. GTV PET-CT and GTV ACTvs. GTV PET-CT were statistically significant (both P<0.01), and the differences were not statistically significant among the remaining groups (all P>0.05). When intravenous phase sequences were compared with PET-CT, pairwise comparison of Bonferroni correction revealed that the DSC and HD95 of GTV V40VMIDvs. GTV PET-CT and GTV VCTvs. GTV PET-CT were statistically significant (both P<0.01), and the differences were not statistically significant among the remaining groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:The use of 40 keV VMI-ID fusion images to outline the target area of the primary tumor lesions is closer to that of PET-CT, which provides a novel option for the precise outlining of the target area of clinical radiotherapy.

Objective To investigate the the effects of fracture fragment size and fixation method on biomechanical stability of distal tibial epiphyseal injuries in children.Methods A three-dimensional(3D)finite element model of a Salter-Harris Ⅱ(SH-Ⅱ)epiphyseal injury with fracture fragments of varying sizes(Small,Middle,Big)was constructed using computed tomography(CT)data from the lower limb of a 10-year-old volunteer.and bone-internal fixation assemblies were created with 1-3 screws(1 S group,2 S group,3 S group)and Kirschner wire(K group).The model was subjected to gravitational forces,posterior drawer forces,and external rotation.Displacement and stress distributions on fracture fragments and fixation devices were analyzed.Results The maximum displacement for the four groups of models was concentrated at the distal end of the fracture fragment.Under gravity conditions,the maximum displacement of the distal end of the fracture fragment in the 1 S,2 S,3 S and K models in Small group was 5.69,5.57,5.56,0.11 mm,respectively,and the bone stress was 16.95,12.26,8.57 and 5.00 MPa,respectively.A high stress area at the epiphyseal plate and the fracture line was easily formed under screw fixation,while a high stress area at the edge of the epiphyseal plate was formed under Kirschner wire fixation.Conclusions When distal tibial epiphyseal injuries in children are treated by using screws,increasing the number of screws can improve the fixation stability and share local bone stress,but the connection area between the fracture fragment and the epiphyseal plate cannot be too small.Kirschner wire fixation can provide better biomechanical effects than screw fixation.

In view of the few studies on the influence of Armillaria spp. infection on the content of the chemical components in different parts of Polyporus umbellatus sclerotia, this study determined the biomass of P. umbellatus sclerotia and the contents of ergosterol, polyporusterone A, polyporusterone B and polysaccharide in the separated cavity wall of the sclerotia and the uninfected part of the sclerotia in different harvesting years under the conditions of A. gallica and A. mellea infection respectively. According to the difference of content and dynamic changes of the polysaccharide and the steroid substances, the superior Armillaria sp. was screened to obtain the best harvest years of P. umbellatus. Using HPLC and UV-VIS spectrophotometry methods, the contents of ergosterol, polyporusterone A, polyporusterone B and polysaccharide in P. umbellatus sclerotia infected by the two Armillaria spp. in different years were determined. In addition, the differentially expressed genes related to P. umbellatus polysaccharide synthesis were screened according to the transcriptomic data of different parts of P. umbellatus after A. mellea infection. With the increase of years, the biomass of sclerotia infected by different Armillaria spp. had significant differences, and there were significant differences in the four components of sclerotia. The four components of the separated cavity wall of the sclerotia were significantly higher than those of the uninfected part. The best harvest time was the third year after cultivation. Transcriptomic analysis showed that the infection of Armillaria spp. could significantly promote polysaccharide synthesis, which provided a basis for polysaccharide content determination at the molecular level. The study clarified the influence of different Armillaria spp. infection on the accumulation of chemical components of P. umbellatus sclerotia, laying a foundation for exploring the symbiosis mechanism and provided a scientific clue for screening superior Armillaria sp. and guiding the artificial cultivation of P. umbellatus sclerotia.

Objective:To explore the CT manifestation characteristics of peripancreatic aneurysms related to pancreatitis (PRPA).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 15 patients with pancreatitis-related aneurysms collected in Deyang People's Hospital from June 2017 to February 2025. Among them, there were 11 males and 4 females, with an age of (56.5±16.9) years. Record the CT manifestations of the patients, and observe the PRPA tumor-carrying arteries, morphology, quantity, bleeding, calcification, dynamic changes, etc.Results:The CT results showed that there were a total of 26 PRPAs in 15 patients. The aneurysm walls of the PRPAs had no calcification, among which 12 cases were single and 1 case was double. Two cases were multiple. The patients were pancreatitis complicated with muscle fiber dysplasia. Among them, one case had 5 PRPAs and the other had 7 PRPAs. Of the 26 PRPAs, 12 were sac-like, 8 were beaded, 4 were fusiform, and 2 were columnar in shape. The numbers of aneurysm-carrying arteries and PRPA were as follows: 8 in the pancreaticoduodenal artery, 7 in the hepatic artery and its branches, 6 in the splenic artery and its branches, 2 in the left gastric artery, 1 in the gastroduodenal artery, 1 in the middle colonic artery, and 1 in the ileocolonic artery. The CT diagnosis report missed 16 PRPAs, with a missed diagnosis rate of 61.5% (16/26). Among the 11 ruptured PRPAs, 4 were missed, with a missed diagnosis rate of 36.4%. Three missed aneurysms were diagnosed by digital subtraction angiography, and one was retrospectively analyzed by CT. Among the 15 unruptured PRPAs, 12 were missed, with a missed diagnosis rate of 80.0%. All the missed aneurysms were detected by retrospective CT analysis. There were 2 images without re-examination and 24 images with re-examination. Among the PRPAs with re-examination images, 4 disappeared after interventional embolization on the same day, 1 relapsed after interventional embolization on the same day, with a reduction in volume and disappeared after 3 days. Three cases underwent elective interventional embolization, among which two shranked and one enlarged before interventional embolization. Among the 16 cases that did not receive interventional treatment, 7 disappeared on their own, 1 was completely liquefied, 5 shrank but did not disappear, 2 remained stable in size without any change, and 1 increased. Among the re-examined PRPA images, 7 showed signs of enlargement.Conclusion:The main characteristics of PRPA are high rupture rate, prone to missed diagnosis and dynamic changes in size.
