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.

Aromatic inhalation therapy is a key traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） approach for preventing respiratory infectious diseases. Its foundational theory， "aromatics acting on the spleen"， is deeply rooted in TCM principles and supported by modern medical research. The theory posits that the aromatic properties of medicinals primarily act on the spleen， and the aromatic inhalation therapy achieved its protective effects by modulation of the spleen and spleen channel to enhance the regulation of wei qi， striae and interstices. In TCM， the spleen is considered the mother of the lungs， with the function of nurturing lung； it is also seen as the source of wei qi， responsible for external defense； and the root of healthy qi， forming the foundation of acquired （postnatal） constitution. Thus， preventive strategies for respiratory infectious diseases focus on strengthening the spleen. From a modern medical perspective， the spleen's role in regulating lung immune responses， the shared immune functions of the respiratory and gastrointestinal mucosa， and the spleen's overall immune modulation provide scientific evidence for using aromatic inhalation therapy to prevent respiratory infections. Additionally， aromatic inhalation therapy offers several advantages， including direct action， rapid onset， minimal side effects， controllable risks， convenience， and ease of dissemination， making it a practical and effective preventive measure for respiratory infectious diseases.

Objective To investigate the changes of serum bile acid profiles in early non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)and explore their clinical significance at the same time combined with liver enzyme-related indicators.Methods A total of 58 patients with early NAFLD who were treated in Department of Gastroenterology,Wenzhou People's Hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were selected as early NAFLD group,along with 66 healthy individuals as control group.Basic information and blood samples were collected and ultra performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry was used to determine 15 types of serum bile acid profile.Statistical analysis was performed in correlation with liver enzyme indicators.Results Compared with control group,serum concentration of taurocholic acid(TCA)and taurochenodeoxycholic acid(TCDCA)increased in early NAFLD group,which were highly correlated with the disease(VIP>1,p(corr)>0.6 according to SIMCA software analysis).Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that body mass index,total cholesterol,triglyceride,and TCA were independent risk factors in the early-stage of NAFLD,with OR(95%CI)values of 2.367(1.511-3.709),6.481(2.003-20.963),4.950(1.675-14.631)and 2.643(1.335-5.234)(TCA values were log2 transformed),with all P<0.05.Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that TCA and TCDCA had a certain predictive capability in diagnosis of the early NAFLD,and the diagnostic evaluation ability was higher,and area under the curve of them were more than 0.7.Conclusion The bile acid profile of patients with early NAFLD are changed,mainly TCA and TCDCA,which have a positive correlation with the early NAFLD and expected to become a serological marker of early NAFLD.

Objective:To investigate the role and mechanism of molecular hydrogen in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI).Methods:Balb/c male mice were randomly(random number) divided into control group, control+H 2, LPS and LPS+H 2 group with 6 mice in each group. The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and Fe 2+ in lung tissue were detected by kits. The lung tissue morphology was observed. The infiltration levels of F4/80 positive macrophages in lung tissue were detected by immunofluorescence staining. A549 cells were divided into control, control+H 2, erastin and erastin+H 2 group. The reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde, (MDA), lactate dehydrogenase (GSH), number of cell death and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release in each group were detected by kits. Nrf2, GPX4, and HO-1mRNA were quantified by real-time PCR, the protein expression level of Nrf2 was detected by western blot, and the nuclear translocation level of Nrf2 was observed by immunofluorescence. The chi-square test was performed before the measurement data were counted. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare differences between multiple groups. Results:Compared with the control group, the histopathological damage was aggravated, and the levels of MDA, Fe 2+ significantly increased in the LPS group, and F4/80 positive immune cells infiltration significantly increased (all P<0.05). Compared with LPS group, the degree of lung injury in LPS+H 2 group significantly reduced (all P<0.05). In vitro experiments, compared with the control group, the ROS, MDA levels, number of cell death and LDH release significantly increased in erastin group (all P<0.05), while GSH, and GPX4 mRNA levels decreased (all P<0.05). HO-1mRNA and Nrf2 nuclear translocation levels increased (all P<0.05). Compared with erastin group, ROS, MDA levels, cell death number and LDH release decreased in earstin+H 2 group (all P<0.05). The levels of GSH, GPX4 mRNA, Nrf2 mRNA, HO-1 mRNA and Nrf2 nuclear translocation levels increased (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Molecular hydrogen attenuates LPS-induced ALI by promoting Nrf2 nuclear translocation to inhibit ferroptosis of alveolar epithelial cells.

Objective To investigate the effects and complications of mitral valve membrane replacement surgery with preservation of mitral valve subvalvular structure on cardiac and valve function.Methods A total of 84 patients receiving mitral valve membrane replacement surgery with preserved mitral valve subvalvular structure in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from August 2019 to July 2022 were selected as the observa-tion group,and 68 patients receiving mitral valve membrane replacement surgery without preservingmitral valve subvalvular structure were selected as the control group.The surgical indicators,comorbidities,preoperative and postoperative cardiac function,and mitral valve hemodynamic parameters were compared between the two groups.Results There was no statistically significant difference between the observation group and the control group in terms of surgical history,extracorporeal circulation time,aortic occlusion time,postoperative mechanical ventilation time,ICU retention time,and postoperative hospitalization time(P>0.05).At 1,3,and 6 months after surgery,the left ventricular end systolic diameter(LVESD)and left ventricular end diastolic diameter(LVEDD)in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05),while the left ventricular short axis shortening rate(LVFS)was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)between the observation group and the control group at 1,3,and 6 months after surgery(P>0.05).There was no statistically significant difference(P>0.05)in the peak mitral valve velocity(Vmax),maximum pressure gradient difference(PGmax),and mean pressure gradi-ent difference(PGmean)between the observation group and the control group at 1,3,and 6 months after surgery.There was no statistically significant difference in creatine kinase isoenzyme(CK-MB)and N-terminal precursor brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)between the observation group and the control group at 1,3,and 6 months after surgery(P>0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complica-tions between the observation group and the control group(P>0.05).Conclusion The preservation of the mitral valve subvalvular structure and mitral membrane replacement surgery improved patient cardiac function,while there was no significant difference in mitral valve orifice blood flow parameters and complications compared with surgery without preservation of the mitral valve subvalvular structure.

OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study were to assess the quality of prosthetic prescriptions of removable partial dentures (RPDs) and to analyze the current situation of the communication and information delivery between clinicians and technicians. METHODS: All RPD prosthetic prescriptions received by a major dental laboratory in 4 weeks were involved in a quality audit, and the prescriptions were divided into three groups in accordance with the grades of clients. The filling of prosthetic prescriptions was recorded. The items in the prescriptions for audit included the general information of the patient, the general information of the clinician, the design diagram information, other detailed information, and the return date. The prescriptions were categorized into four levels on the basis of their quality by two quality inspectors who have been working for more than 10 years. RESULTS: A total of 916 prescriptions were collected and assessed. The names in the general information of the patient and the clinician were filled out best, both at the rate of 97.6% (n=894). The return date was filled out worst, only at the rate of 6.4% (n=59). Of those prescriptions, 86.8% (n=795) exhibited inadequate design diagram information. The results of the quality assessment demonstrated that 74.2% of prescriptions were assessed as noncompliant ones and failed to meet the acceptable clinical quality standard. CONCLUSIONS At present, the overall quality of RPD prosthetic prescriptions is poor. The responsibilities of clinicians and technicians are unclear, and the communication between them is not ideal.

Lumbar spondylolysis is one of the common diseases of low back pain caused by spinal surgery. Its treatment options vary depending on different conditions, from early conservative ones to late surgical ones. There are still disputes over various conservative treatments, choice of surgical methods and the biomechanics of different internal fixation techniques to repair spondylolysis. Therefore, this review summarizes the clinical outcomes of previous clinical treatments of lumbar spondylolysis and the biomechanical characteristics of various techniques to find the mechanical and evidence-based clinical data that may facilitate the treatment of lumbar spondylolysis.

Objective:There is no standard method for esophageal remnant gastric reconstruction for proximal gastrectomy. Reflux esophagitis caused by esophagogastrostomy remains a difficult surgical problem. To report the preliminary surgical results of novel esophagus-conical remnant gastric side overlap anastomosis (CGEO) , with particular emphasis on postoperative esophageal reflux.Methods:In June 2022, we developed a novel CGEO for laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy on two patients with Siewert type II esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma. Surgical procedures for CGEO: (1) Laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy and preparation of conically shaped gastric remnant; (2) Determining anastomotic site of residual stomach and esophagus; (3) Side-to-side anastomosis of right esophageal wall to anterior of conical gastric remnant; (4) Valvuloplasty of esophageal stump.Results:Case 1 was a 71-year-old man with an operation time of 305 minutes and was successfully discharged from the hospital on the 9th day after surgery, and the postoperative pathology was T3N0M0. Case 2 was an 82-year-old man with an operation time of 325 minutes. He was discharged on the 10th day after surgery. In both cases, only mild esophageal mucosal changes were seen in gastroscopy, there were no obvious symptoms of esophageal reflux. There was also no significant weight change at half a year after operation.Conclusion:CGEO is moderately safe in radical surgery for proximal gastric cancer, and may have a preventive effect on the occurrence of postoperative esophageal reflux, but long-term results need to be confirmed by further studies with follow-up.
