Objective To summarize the clinical characteristics and analyze prognostic factors of neuroblastoma (NB) in infants (≤12 months) at a single center. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of infant patients (≤12 months) diagnosed with NB and treated between January 2014 and December 2022. Clinical features were analyzed, and comparisons between two sample rates were performed using the χ2 test. Univariate prognostic analysis was conducted using the log-rank test, and survival outcomes were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results A total of 42 infants (≤12 months) with NB were enrolled. Low-risk patients underwent surgical resection alone; intermediate-risk patients received surgery combined with chemotherapy with or without maintenance therapy; high-risk patients were treated with surgery and chemotherapy with or without maintenance therapy or radiotherapy. The 5-year event-free survival (EFS) rate was (92.7±4.9)%, and the 5-year overall survival rate was (95.2±3.6)%. Only two patients died because of tumor recurrence or progression. Univariate analysis identified MYCN amplification and the initial lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level ≥ five times the upper limit of the normal were significantly associated with poor prognosis (5-year EFS: 33.3% vs. 97.4% and 60.0% vs. 97.3%, P<0.0001 and P=0.0035). Conclusion Infant NB has a favorable overall prognosis. MYCN amplification and markedly elevated initial LDH are associated with poor outcomes.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of clinical pharmacists in the individualized treatment of a rare case of diffuse pulmonary microabscesses caused by Streptococcus constellatus complicated with organizing pneumonia (OP) in a non-immunocompromised patient. METHODS For a middle-aged, non-immunocompromised patient with a one-year disease course, whose imaging findings showed the coexistence of diffuse microabscesses and OP caused by S. constellatus pulmonary abscess, the clinical pharmacist, based on pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics characteristics, assisted the physician in optimizing the previously ineffective anti-infective regimen to Ceftriaxone sodium for injection combined with Metronidazole and sodium chloride injection, so as to enhance coverage of mixed anaerobes and lesion penetration. After the patient’s hemoptysis ceased, the clinical pharmacist recommended timely initiation of low-dose Methylprednisolone sodium succinate for injection to manage OP. Upon discharge, sequential oral therapy with Linezolid tablets, Metronidazole tablets, Methylprednisolone tablets and Omeprazole enteric-coated tablets was prescribed. RESULTS After implementation of the individualized treatment regimen, the patient’s hemoptysis resolved, pulmonary lesions significantly regressed, and the patient was discharged in a stable condition. At the three-month follow-up, the patient remained stable. CONCLUSIONS For chronic persistent pulmonary infection complicated with OP in a non-immunocompromised host, clinical pharmacists assist clinicians in optimizing anti-infective regimens and recommend the timely initiation of anti-inflammatory therapy after infection control, thereby contributing to favorable clinical outcomes. Individualized treatment of such complex cases requires comprehensive consideration of pathogen coverage, pathological barriers, and the timing of anti-inflammatory intervention.

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 investigate teachers' evaluation and willingness and the influencing factors regarding the adoption of the flipped classroom teaching mode in undergraduate pediatrics education.Methods:From December 2022 to December 2024, a questionnaire survey was conducted among the teachers who were responsible for teaching Child Health and Disease(Pediatrics) to the eight-year clinical medicine students at Peking University Health Science Center. Their views, evaluation, and willingness of implementing the flipped classroom teaching mode were investigated. Logistic regression analysis was performed using SPSS 26.0 software to explore the factors influencing teachers' willingness to adopt the flipped classroom teaching mode.Results:A total of 102 questionnaires were collected. Among the teachers, 20.59%( n=21) believed that the teaching effect of the flipped classroom was better than that of the traditional class, 58.82%( n=60) considered its effectiveness comparable, and 20.59%( n=21) found it less effective. The most influential factors affecting the effectiveness of flipped classroom were students' self-learning with online videos [(4.39±0.73) points], student participation in the flipped classrooms [(4.26±0.72) points], the adequacy of teachers' pre-class preparation [(4.18±0.65) points], and the suitability of the teaching content for the flipped classroom [(4.11±0.76) points]. Teachers believed that the flipped classroom significantly enhanced students' autonomous learning ability [(4.11±0.63) points], clinical thinking [(4.04±0.58) points], and expression skills [(3.80±0.61) points]. Additionally, 78.43%( n=80) of the teachers expressed willingness to continue participating in flipped classroom teaching. Factors influencing teachers' willingness to adopt the flipped classroom included gender, satisfaction with students' classroom participation, and personal experience with the effectiveness of the flipped classroom( P<0.05). Conclusions:The flipped classroom teaching mode is well-accepted by teachers. Students' classroom participation affects teachers' willingness to continue using the flipped classroom teaching mode. In the future, the content of flipped classroom should be arranged individually according to specific teaching objectives to increase students' classroom participation and promote the cultivation of students' ability.
