In recent decades,the incidence of human papillomavirus(HPV)-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma(OPSCC)has shown a marked increase.Significant changes have also occurred in the OPSCC diagnosis and treatment paradigm.Deter-mining HPV status prior to treatment is now essential,and radiotherapy/chemotherapy,immunotherapy,and minimally invasive surgical techniques have progressively emerged as key modalities for managing OPSCC.However,alongside these paradigm shifts,a comprehen-sive technical consensus guiding the entire diagnostic and therapeutic process for OPSCC patients is currently lacking.Given China's large population base and the rising incidence of OPSCC,an expert panel convened to develop a clinical technical consensus on OPSCC diagno-sis and management tailored to China's specific context.This consensus aims to further enhance and standardize understanding of OPSCC management techniques among relevant healthcare professionals.

Objective:To investigate the protective effect of achyranthes bidentata(AB)on sperm quality in mice with sper-matogenic disorder through the glycolytic metabolic pathway and its action mechanism.Methods:We equally randomized 40 Kun-ming mice into a normal control,a model control,a low-dose AB(3.5 g/kg)and a high-dose AB group(7.0 g/kg),and established the model of spermatogenic disorder in the latter three groups of mice by intraperitoneal injection of doxorubicin(30 mg/kg).Two days after modeling,we collected the testis and kidney tissues and blood samples from the mice for observation of the pathological changes in the testis tissue by HE staining,detection of perm motility with the sperm quality analyzer,examination of the apoptosis of testis cells by flow cytometry,measurement of the levels of testosterone(T),malondialdehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD)and cata-lase(CAT)in the serum and testis tissue by ELISA,and determination of expressions of the key enzymes of glycolysis hexokinase Ⅱ(HK2),pyruvate kinase M2(PKM2),platelet phosphofructokinase(PFKP),lactate dehydrogenase A(LDHA)and the meiosis pro-teins REC8 and SCP3 by Western blot,and the mRNA expressions of glycolytic phosphofructokinase 1(PFK1),phosphoglycerate ki-nase 1(PGK1),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin-1 β(IL-1β)by fluorescence quantitative PCR(FQ-PCR).Results:Compared with the model controls,the mice in the AB groups showed significant increases in the testis coefficient,kidney in-dex,sperm concentration,sperm motility,spermatogonia,primary spermatocytes,spermatids,sperm count and the serum T level(P＜0.05 orP＜0.01),but dramatic decreases in the apoptosis of testis cells and percentage of morphologically abnormal sperm(P＜0.01).Achyranthes bidentata also significantly elevated the levels of SOD and CAT,and down-regulated the mRNA expressions of MDA,TNF-α and IL-1β(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),and up-regulated the protein expressions of HK2,PKM2,PFKP,LDHA,REC8 and SCP3,and expressions of the glycolysis key genes Pfk1 and Pgk1(P＜0.05 orP＜0.01).Conclusion:Achyranthes bidentata ameliorates doxorubicin-induced spermatogenic disorder in mice by regulating the glycolytic pathway and reducing oxidative stress and the expressions of inflammatory factors.

Aim To investigate the effect of Zhenwu decoction on inflammation,oxidative stress and apopto-sis of human glomerular epithelial cells(HGEC)in-duced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS)based on Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway,and to explore the underlying mechanism.Methods HGEC were treated with LPS(1.0 mg·L-1)for 24 h to construct an oxidative damage model.On this basis,2.5％,5％and 10％Zhenwu decoction-containing serum were added to the low,medium and high dose groups of Zhenwu decoc-tion,and a normal group was set up.The changes of cell activity were assessed by MTT method and LDH method.The contents of TNF-α,IL-6,IL-10,SOD,CAT,GSH-Px,ROS and MDA in each group were de-tected by ELISA.The apoptosis of each group was de-tected by flow cytometry.The mRNA and protein ex-pressions of Bax,Bcl-2,caspase-3,caspase-9 and Nrf2/HO-1 pathway were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot,respectively.Results Compared to the normal group,the model group of HGEC exhibited increased levels of inflammatory cytokines,enhanced oxidative stress response and aggravated apoptosis;after inter-vention with various doses of Zhenwu decoction,the in-flammatory levels in HGEC were reduced,oxidative damage and apoptosis were effectively ameliorated,and the mRNA and protein expression levels of the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway were upregulated.Conclu-sions Zhenwu decoction can protect HGEC from LPS-induced inflammation and oxidative damage and im-prove apoptosis.The mechanism may be related to the activation of Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.

Objective:Previous studies have shown that insomnia is closely related to erectile dysfunction(ED).However,the causal relationship between them is still unclear.Mendelian randomization(MR)provides a new method for studying the relationship between the two,and the theory of heart-kidney interaction in TCM provides a new idea for exploring the causal relationship between them.Methods:Based on the statistical data collected by genome-wide association studies(GWAS),the causal relationship be-tween insomnia and ED was discussed by MR.Inverse variance weighted(IVW)is the main analysis method,and weighted median(WME),simple mode(SM),weighted mode(WM)and MR Egger method were the supplementary analysis to evaluate the causal effect.MR-Egger intercept test,Cochran Q test and leave-one-out method were used in sensitivity analysis to verify the reliability of MR results.Results:Thirty-nine SNPs significantly related to insomnia were finally included for MR analysis.The results of IVW method in MR analysis showed that insomnia had a significant causal relationship with the increased risk of ED(OR=3.111,95％CI=1.566-6.181,P=1.193 × 10-3).The results obtained by MR-Egger method,WME method,WM method and SM method were consistent with IVW method in the direction of effect.The sensitivity results suggested that the results of this study were robust.Conclusion:Our study reveals the causal relationship between insomnia and ED,which provides a new basis for future clinical practice and prevention and treatment of ED.

Objective:To analyze the current situation and hotspots of medication literacy research at home and abroad, and provide references for medication literacy research in China.Methods:The literature related to medication literacy in the Web of Science Core Collection Database, Scopus and China National Knowledge Infrastructure Database were retrieved (up to May 31, 2024). The CiteSpace software was used to analyze the number of published papers, countries, institutions, journals, authors and keywords, etc.Results:A total of 604 literature were included (361 in Chinese and 243 in English). The literature related to medication literacy were first seen in 2000, and the number grew slowly, which showed rapid growth after 2016, and reached a peak in 2023. The country with the largest number of published English literature was China (69 articles), followed by the United States (66 articles). The literature from the United States were cited 3 623 times, and those from China were cited 2 523 times. Central South University and the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University were tied for the first place in terms of the number of published articles as institutions (both 15 articles). The top 5 institutions in terms of the number of Chinese publications were Xiangya Third Hospital of Central South University, Central South University, Yanbian University, Affiliated Hospital of Yanbian University, and Tianjin Chest Hospital. The discipline with the largest number of published English literature was pharmacology/pharmacy (107 articles), followed by public environmental occupational health (88 articles) and general internal medicine (39 articles); the discipline with the largest number of Chinese published articles was clinical medicine (124 articles), followed by research on medical and health policies and regulations (56 articles), and medical education and marginal medical disciplines (34 articles). Keyword cluster analysis showed that the top 3 keywords in the English literature were medication errors, health education, and community pharmacy, while those in the Chinese literature were health literacy, self-management, and health education.Conclusions:Research on medication literacy has rapidly developed in recent years. China and the United States are the main countries for research related to medication literacy. Health education and medication errors are the mainstream of the research. Future research can focus on personalized assessment and intervention measures of medication literacy, so as to develop high-quality assessment tools for medication literacy.

In recent years, significant progress has been made in the treatment of chronic constipation, with high-quality studies emerging in areas such as fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), sacral neuromodulation (SNM), acupuncture, and surgical techniques. The therapeutic approach is shifting from a traditional "medication and surgery" model toward an integrated strategy that includes dietary and defecation habit adjustment, FMT, SNM, acupuncture, pharmacotherapy, and surgery. Although FMT can partially improve stool frequency and consistency, its standardization and long-term efficacy require further validation. SNM demonstrates limited effectiveness in treating chronic constipation and is relatively cost-inefficient. Electroacupuncture remains controversial, though some studies support its value. Biofeedback therapy is recommended by multiple guidelines as the first-line treatment for dyssynergic defecation (DD), with portable home-based biofeedback systems showing considerable potential. For internal rectal prolapse (IRP) and rectocele (RC), various surgical options exist without a clear superiority, though laparoscopic ventral rectopexy (VMR) is increasingly favored due to its low recurrence rate and high patient satisfaction. In the surgical management of slow transit constipation (STC), total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis remains the mainstream approach, while subtotal colectomy is gaining attention as an alternative.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of serum galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) and Gd-IgA1/IgA ratio in normal children.Methods:The children from a kindergarten and 3 primary or secondary schools in Baoding (Hebei Province) from March to August 2023 were included in the cross-sectional study.According to their age, the children were divided into the 3-6-year-old group, >6-11-year-old group, and >11-16-year-old group.Besides, some adults were also included as the control group.The immunoturbidimetric assay was used to detect serum IgA levels, and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was employed to detect Gd-IgA1 and Gd-IgA1/IgA levels.The above indicators were subject to normal distribution tests and analysis of variance (ANOVA)or rank sum test.Results:A total of 136 normal subjects were included for analysis.Among these subjects, there were 64 males and 72 females.There were 13 children in the 3-6-year-old group, 51 children in the >6-11-year-old group, and 56 children in the >11-16-year-old group.Besides, 16 normal adults (28-45 years old) from the physical examination center were also included as the control group.The serum IgA levels of the 3-6-year-old group, >6-11-year-old group, >11-16-year-old group, and adult group were (0.88±0.35) g/L, (1.38±0.65) g/L, (1.78±0.61) g/L, and (2.49±0.94) g/L, respectively.Except for no statistically significant difference between the 3-6-year-old group and the >6-11-year-old group, as well as between the >11-16-year-old group and the adult group, all other age groups showed statistically significant differences in serum IgA levels (all P<0.05).The serum Gd-IgA1 levels of the 3-6-year-old group, >6-11-year-old group, >11-16-year-old group, and adult group were 7.77(5.77, 16.51) μg/L, 7.12(5.29, 9.82) μg/L, 8.96(6.21, 14.30) μg/L, and 9.39(6.63, 40.00) μg/L, respectively, with statistically significant differences ( H=9.22, P=0.027).There was no significant difference in the Gd-IgA1/IgA ratio among different groups ( P=0.130).The correlation analysis suggested that Gd-IgA1/IgA1 did not correlate with age ( r=0.134, P=1.200).The Gd-IgA1 level was positively correlated with the IgA level ( r=0.204, P=0.017).There was no significant difference in serum IgA, Gd-IgA1, and Gd-IgA1/IgA levels between different gender groups. Conclusions:There are differences in Gd-IgA1 levels among different age groups among these children, but Gd-IgA1/IgA is not correlated with age.As a diagnostic biomarker, Gd-IgA1 should be emphasized from the different levels among different age groups, while Gd-IgA1/IgA seems to be more convenient for clinical research and application.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC)is a malignant lesion originating from the oral mucosal squamous epithelium,account-ing for over 80％of oral and maxillofacial malignancies.Key etiological factors include tobacco,alcohol abuse,and betel quid chewing.In China,its incidence has shown an overall upward trend,posing a significant threat to public health.OSCC exhibits high local invasive-ness,making early diagnosis critical for improving prognosis.Its clinical management requires close multidisciplinary collaboration among oral and maxillofacial surgery,head and neck surgery,radiation oncology,medical oncology,reconstructive surgery,radiology,patholo-gy,and nutritional support teams.Given the increasing disease burden of OSCC and rapid development of multidisciplinary collaborative models,an expert panel has formulated this integrated management consensus based on evidence-based medicine and extensive deliber-ation.Centered on the'Prevention-Screening-Diagnosis-Treatment-Rehabilitation'framework,the consensus provides comprehensive guidance for the entire disease course of OSCC patients,aiming to standardize clinical practice.

Schizophrenia is a common, severe, and complex psychiatric disorder worldwide. Genetic factors account for around 80% of the etiology of schizophrenia, yet objective diagnostic biomarkers remain lacking. This article reports two cases of female monozygotic twins diagnosed with schizophrenia, exhibiting a balanced translocation between 22q11.2 and 4p15.3. Reviewing the literature, we analyze and discuss the correlation between chromosomal balanced translocation regions and the pathogenesis of mental disorders. This aims to encourage psychiatrists to consider new perspectives on the diagnosis of schizophrenia.
