Objective To explore the predictive effect of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3] and blood lipid metabolism indexes on the occurrence of osteoporosis in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods Totally 98 patients with T2DM in the hospital from January 2022 to January 2024 were classified into osteoporosis group (38 cases) and non-osteoporosis group (60 cases) by means of concurrent osteoporosis status. The levels of serum 25(OH)D3 and blood lipid metabolism indexes [high density lipoprotein (HDL), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL), VLDL] were measured in study subjects. The association of serum 25(OH)D3 and blood lipid metabolism indexes with osteoporosis was explored by Logistic regression analysis. The predictive value of serum 25(OH)D3 and blood lipid metabolism indexes on osteoporosis was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). Results Serum 25(OH)D3 and HDL levels in the osteoporosis group were lower while TG and LDL levels were higher than those in the non-osteoporosis group (P<0.05). The differences in the levels of TC and VLDL were insignificant between groups (P>0.05). After logistic regression analysis, the levels of serum 25(OH)D3, HDL, TG and LDL were closely related to the occurrence of osteoporosis (P<0.05). ROC curve indicated that the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity and specificity of combined prediction of osteoporosis by serum 25(OH)D3, HDL, TG, and LDL were 0.943, 92.11% and 85.00%, and the efficiency of combined prediction was better than that of each index alone (P<0.05). Conclusion The levels of serum 25(OH)D3, HDL, TG and LDL in T2DM are closely related to osteoporosis. Early combined monitoring of the indicators can provide reference value for clinical prediction of osteoporosis occurrence in patients with T2DM.

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.

Dementia is a neuropsychiatric disorder that primarily affects the elderly, leading to a widespread decline in cognitive function and significant impairment of occupational, social, and personal functioning. In addition to cognitive deficits, dementia is frequently comorbid with behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD), such as agitation.When present, these secondary symptoms can exacerbate the clinical course of the disease, reduced treatment responsiveness, increased rates of admission to long-term care facilities, extended hospitalization, higher risk of personal injury and a substantial socioeconomic burden. Given these consequences, early management of BPSD—particularly agitation—is critical to mitigating these risks. Although antipsychotics are commonly prescribed to manage agitation, risperidone remains the only agent approved by regulatory authorities for this indication. Recently, however, brexpiprazole, a medication with a pharmacological profile distinct from that of risperidone, received U.S. FDA approval (on May 11, 2023) for the treatment of agitation associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Agitation is among the most prevalent BPSD manifestations, with symptoms ranging from verbal to physical aggression. Given its recent approval and unique pharmacodynamic properties, brexpiprazole may have strong potential as a therapeutic option for this population. This paper aims to review the pharmacological mechanisms, clinical evidence, and future perspectives of brexpiprazole as a novel therapeutic option for managing agitation in patients with Alzheimer’s disease.

[摘 要] 目的:探讨细胞色素c氧化酶组装因子6(COA6)在胃癌中的表达特征、临床意义及其对胃癌细胞恶性生物学行为的调控作用与分子机制。方法:通过TIMER 2.0、人类蛋白质图谱(HPA)和UALCAN等公共数据库分析COA6在多种肿瘤组织中的mRNA表达水平及部分蛋白表达信息,并分析其与临床病理特征的关联。构建靶向COA6的敲低和过表达慢病毒载体,分别转染SGC-7901和MGC-803细胞,构建COA6稳定修饰细胞模型。敲低体系设置shCOA6‑1、shCOA6‑2、shCOA6‑3实验组及阴性对照shCOA6-NC组;过表达体系设置COA6过表达(OE)组与空载病毒(Vector)对照组,采用WB法验证各组COA6的敲低与过表达效率。随后,分别采用细胞计数实验检测细胞增殖活性,Transwell实验评价细胞侵袭能力,划痕愈合实验观测细胞迁移能力,Annexin V-FITC/PI双染色流式检测细胞凋亡水平,同时利用WB法检测AMPK/mTOR通路核心蛋白的磷酸化水平。结果:COA6在多种肿瘤中呈异常表达,且其表达水平与胃癌临床分期、病理分级、淋巴结转移及TP53突变状态有关联。功能实验表明,敲低COA6可显著抑制胃癌细胞增殖、侵袭和迁移,并促进凋亡(均P < 0.000 1);而过表达COA6则产生相反效应。机制研究发现,COA6敲低导致p-AMPK表达上调、p-mTOR表达下调,AMPK抑制剂Compound C处理可逆转COA6敲低诱导的p-AMPK升高和p-mTOR降低,提示COA6可能与AMPK活化受抑和mTOR磷酸化增强有关。结论:COA6在胃癌中高表达且与部分临床病理特征有关联,其可能通过调控AMPK/mTOR信号通路促进胃癌细胞增殖、侵袭和迁移,并抑制凋亡。

Lung cancer constitutes the most prevalent and lethal malignant tumor in China. Approximately 85% of lung cancer diagnoses correspond to the non-small cell histological subtype [non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)]. Despite surgery being the mainstay for early-stage disease, postoperative recurrence remains high and adjuvant chemotherapy offers limited benefit. In recent years, targeted therapy has demonstrated substantial advantages in driver mutation-positive NSCLC. To this end, the Lung Cancer Medical Education Committee of the Chinese Medical Education Association developed guidelines based on a systematic review of evidence through November 2025, using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) approach and a modified Delphi method. Focusing on epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), and addressing ROS proto-oncogene 1 (ROS1), B-Raf proto-oncogene serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) V600E mutation, and mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET) exon 14 (METex14) skipping, the guideline covers molecular testing, neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy, perioperative strategies, minimal residual disease monitoring, and postoperative surveillance. It defines testing requirements, specifies stage-directed and subtype-specific treatments, and standardizes minimal residual disease monitoring. These recommendations emphasize precision and feasibility to improve survival and quality of life.

Objective To analyze the status and risk factors of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection in permanent residents in a certain area. Methods The clinical data of 6 792 permanent residents surveyed from January 2021 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. All subjects underwent 13C-urea breath test,and relevant general information was collected to analyze Hp infection status. According to whether Hp infection occurred, they were divided into positive group (n=4 283) and negative group (n=2 509). The differences in general information, living habits, and dietary habits between the two groups of subjects were analyzed, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted. Results Among the 6 792 permanent residents surveyed from January 2021 to December 2023, 4283 were positive for 13C-urea breath test, accounting for 63.05% of the total. There were statistically significant differences in age distribution, gender, BMI, tableware cleaning, personal hygiene products use, chopsticks use, and raw food and vegetable cleaning between the positive group and the negative group (P<0.05). The single factors of Hp infection were substituted into multivariate logistic regression analysis equation, and it was found that age ≥45 years old, male, BMI≥24, no use of detergents to clean utensils, sharing personal hygiene products, not using public chopsticks, having a habit of eating raw food, and not cleaning vegetables before eating were independent risk factors for Hp infection. Conclusion The positive rate of Hp infection in this area is relatively high, and the infection factors are related to age, gender, and some lifestyle and dietary habits.

Objective:
The variety and efficacy of biomarkers available that may be used objectively to diagnose major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults are unclear. This systematic review aims to identify and evaluate the variety of objective markers used to diagnose MDD in adults.
Methods:
The search strategy was applied via PubMed and PsycINFO over the past 10 years (2013–2023) to capture the latest available evidence supporting the use of biomarkers to diagnose MDD. Data was reported through narrative synthesis.
Results:
Forty-two studies were included in the review. Findings were synthesised based on the following measures: blood, neuroimagingeurophysiology, urine, dermatological, auditory, vocal, cerebrospinal fluid and combinatory—and evaluated based on its sensitivity/specificity and area under the curve values. The best predictors of blood (MYT1 gene), neuroimagingeurophysiological (5-HT1A auto-receptor binding in the dorsal and median raphe), urinary (combined albumin, AMBP, HSPB, APOA1), cerebrospinal fluid-based (neuron specific enolase, microRNA) biomarkers were found to be closely linked to the pathophysiology of MDD.
Conclusion
A large variety of biomarkers were available to diagnose MDD, with the best performing biomarkers intrinsically related to the pathophysiology of MDD. Potential for future research lies in investigating the joint sensitivity of the best performing biomarkers identified via machine learning methods and establishing the causal effect between these biomarkers and MDD.
