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 preliminarily investigate the safety and efficacy of donor pancreas needle biopsy in simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation. Methods Clinical data of 7 cases undergoing donor pancreas biopsy were collected retrospectively. All cases underwent donor pancreas biopsy before or during simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation. Frozen section or paraffin sectioning techniques were used for tissue preparation, and hematoxylin-eosin and Masson staining were performed to histologically evaluate the donor pancreas. The quality of donor pancreas was comprehensively assessed by combining histological findings with the donor's clinical data. Postoperative follow-up data of 5 simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplant recipients were collected to summarize the safety of donor pancreas biopsy and the prognosis of transplant recipients. Results The 7 pancreas donors were aged 28 to 62 years, with a body mass index ranging from 20.76 to 27.68 kg/m2. Liver ultrasound indicated fatty liver in 3 cases, while pancreatic ultrasound did not reveal any significant abnormalities. Among them, biopsy was performed on 2 donors after completion of pancreatic procurement and processing, and the frozen section histology showed moderate acute pancreatitis changes (edema of acinar cells, necrosis and inflammatory cell infiltration). Combined with a serum amylase level elevated more than 3 times the upper limit of normal value, these two donor pancreases were finally discarded. The remaining 5 cases underwent biopsy immediately after pancreatic vascular anastomosis during simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation, and histological evaluation was performed on paraffin-embedded sections. No biopsy-related complications (such as bleeding, pancreatic fistula, etc.) occurred after transplantation. One recipient died of severe infection 2 months after transplantation, while the other 4 recipients were followed up for more than 5 years, with well-functioning transplant kidneys and pancreases. Conclusions Donor pancreas biopsy is relatively safe, and the risk of biopsy-related complications after transplantation is controllable. Comprehensive assessment of donor pancreas quality by combining histological evaluation with the donor's clinical indicators is conducive to improving the accuracy of donor pancreas selection and organ utilization.

Objective: To systematically review the modeling strategies, primary outcomes, and quantifiable effects in animal models of transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI), transfusion-associated circulatory overload (TACO), acute hemolytic transfusion reaction (AHTR), and related transfusion paradigms. Subgroup meta-analysis was designated as the primary analytical framework, with the overall pooled effect treated as exploratory. Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) from inception to December 30, 2025. Eligible studies utilized animal models to simulate transfusion-related adverse reactions and provided extractable quantitative outcomes. The SYRCLE tool was used to assess the risk of bias. Random-effects models were employed to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Prespecified subgroup analyses were conducted for TRALI, TACO, AHTR, and donor sex-related transfusion paradigms. Additional analyses included funnel plots, Egger/Begg tests, leave-one-out sensitivity analyses, and meta-regression based on publication year. Results: Twenty-one studies comprising 24 independent comparisons were included in the quantitative synthesis. The overall pooled estimate was OR=1.07 (95% CI:0.69-1.66), with substantial heterogeneity (I
=96%). Subgroup analyses yielded the following estimates: TRALI, OR=0.83 (95%CI:0.57-1.21, I
=97%); TACO, OR=1.85 (95%CI:0.54-6.34, I
=93%); donor sex-related paradigms, OR=1.49 (95%CI:1.02-2.17, I
=85%); and AHTR, OR=0.26 (95%CI:0.10-0.64, I
=0%). Between-subgroup differences were statistically significant (P<0.000 1). Publication year was positively correlated with effect size (P=0.001 4). Most studies demonstrated unclear risk of bias across several SYRCLE domains due to incomplete methodological reporting. Conclusion: Animal models of transfusion-related adverse reactions exhibit significant structural heterogeneity across syndrome categories. Therefore, subgroup-specific and narrative syntheses are recommended as the primary presentation framework, rather than relying on a single overall pooled effect. Complement-targeted interventions in AHTR models demonstrated a consistent protective signal. In contrast, TRALI and TACO models require greater standardization in modeling protocols and endpoint definitions to reduce methodological variability.

Objective:
To examine the association between academic stress and anxiety-depression comorbidity among college students and the potential moderating effect of physical activity, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the development of evidence based mental health promotion frameworks in higher education institutions.
Methods:
From October 2022 to June 2024, a total of 7 980 students from 21 universities across five provinces/municipalities in China, including Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, and Anhui, using a combination of convenience sampling and stratified random cluster sampling. Physical activity, academic stress, anxiety, and depression were assessed by using the 24 hour Movement Behaviors Questionnaire, the Chinese College Students Mental Health Screening Scale, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, respectively. Binary Logistic regression was used to examine the associations between academic stress and anxiety, depression, and their comorbidity. The PROCESS macro was employed to test the moderating effect of physical activity.
Results:
The prevalence of anxiety-depression comorbidity among college students was relatively high (11.53%), with significant differences observed across grades and body mass index (BMI) categories ( χ 2=70.30, 24.63, both P <0.01). Binary Logistic regression revealed that, compared with low academic stress, moderate academic stress among male students was significantly associated with greater odds of anxiety ( OR =2.78), depression ( OR =2.75), and anxiety-depression comorbidity ( OR =2.89) (all P <0.01). High academic stress was associated with elevated odds of anxiety ( OR =6.66), depression ( OR =12.81), and anxiety-depression comorbidity ( OR =13.65) (all P <0.01). Among female students, moderate academic stress was associated with anxiety ( OR =2.58), depression ( OR =1.52), and anxiety-depression comorbidity ( OR =1.70) (all P <0.01). High academic stress increased the risk of anxiety ( OR =6.77), depression ( OR =6.81), and anxiety-depression comorbidity ( OR =7.48) (all P <0.05). The moderation analysis indicated that the interaction between total physical activity duration and academic stress had a significant netative moderating effect on anxiety-depression comorbidity among college students ( β =-0.03, P <0.01).
Conclusions
Academic stress increases the risk of anxiety, depression, and anxiety-depression comorbidity among college students. Physical activity may attenuate the adverse effects of academic stress on anxiety-depression comorbidity.

Objective:
To evaluate the cost utility of different influenza vaccination strategies for primary and secondary school students in Anshun City, so as to provide healtheconomic evidence for influenza prevention and control in this population.
Methods:
Based on the demographic data of 380 700 students aged 5-14 in Anshun City in 2024, a decision tree model for different influenza vaccination strategies was constructed. The incremental cost utility ratio (ICUR) and net monetary benefit (NMB) were calculated, and sensitivity analysis was performed to assess the robustness of the model results.
Results:
For influenza vaccination among primary and secondary school students in Anshun City, compared with the selfpaid strategy (2% coverage), the free strategy (45% coverage) and the target strategy (70% coverage) both yielded an ICUR of -7 874.29 yuan per quality adjusted life year (QALY). When using 1 and 3 times the per capita Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as the willingness to pay thresholds, the per capita Net Monetary Benefit (NMB) was 1 000, 1 600 and 2 900, 4 500 RMB, respectively. The number of influenza infections or school absenteeism decreased by 25% and 40%, while saving a total cost of (46.779 5 and 73.976 8) million yuan, and increasing QALY by 5 940.79 and 9 394.73, respectively. Sensitivity analysis showed that within the reasonable fluctuation range of parameters, the ICUR remained consistently lower than the one and three times willingness to pay. Furthermore, 99% of the simulation results for both the free and target strategies fell below those thresholds, indicating high robustness of the model results.
Conclusion
Implementing free and target influenza vaccination strategies for primary and secondary school students in Anshun City offer distinct cost utility advantages, and the advantage enhances as the vaccination coverage rate increases.

ObjectiveThis study aims to investigate the therapeutic effects of Wenweishu granule (WWSG) on functional dyspepsia (FD) with spleen-stomach deficiency cold syndrome in rats by integrating network pharmacology, molecular docking, and animal experiments. MethodsActive components and corresponding targets of WWSG were collected from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP) and the Bioinformatics Analysis Tool for Molecular Mechanism of Traditional Chinese Medicine (BATMAN-TCM). Disease-related targets for FD with spleen-stomach deficiency cold syndrome were screened using GeneCards and the Integrative Pharmacology-based Research Platform of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCMIP). Core therapeutic targets were identified via Cytoscape and validated by molecular docking. A rat model of FD with spleen-stomach deficiency cold syndrome was established using vinegar gavage combined with tail-clamping. The rats were randomly divided into a model group, low-, medium-, and high-dose WWSG groups (2.0, 4.0, 8.0 g·kg-1), a domperidone group (3.0 mg·kg-1), a Fuzi Lizhong pillwan (0.8 g·kg-1), and a normal control group (n=10 per group). Drugs were administered once daily by gavage for 14 consecutive days. After treatment, body weight, symptom scores, and gastrointestinal motility indices were recorded. Gastric and duodenal pathologies changes were observed via hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Brain-gut peptides were measured in serum and tissue using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Immunohistochemistry and Western blot were performed to assess stem cell factor (SCF) and receptor tyrosine kinase (c-Kit) protein expression in gastric tissues. ResultsA total of 305 drug targets, 1 140 disease targets, and 116 overlapping targets were identified. Cytoscape analysis revealed 104 core targets. Enrichment analysis indicated that the SCF/c-Kit signaling pathway was the key mechanism. Molecular docking confirmed a strong binding affinity between active components of WWSG and SCF/c-Kit proteins (binding energy<-5.1 kcal·mol-1). Compared with the normal group, model rats exhibited slower weight gain (P<0.05), reduced gastric emptying and intestinal propulsion (P<0.01), mild gastric mucosal shedding, duodenal inflammatory cell infiltration, decreased levels of gastrin (GAS), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) (P<0.05, P<0.01), and elevated somatostatin (SS) expression (P<0.05, P<0.01). WWSG treatment ameliorated weight gain, symptom scores, and low-grade inflammation in gastric/duodenal tissues. High-dose WWSG significantly improved gastric emptying and intestinal propulsion, upregulated GAS, 5-HT, and VIP, and downregulated SS expression in serum and tissues (P<0.05, P<0.01). Immunohistochemistry and Western blot demonstrated that SCF and c-Kit protein expression was decreased in the model group (P<0.05, P<0.01), which was reversed by WWSG intervention (P<0.05). ConclusionWWSG exerts therapeutic effects on FD with spleen-stomach deficiency cold syndrome in rats, potentially by regulating the SCF/c-Kit signaling pathway to enhance gastrointestinal motility.

Unilateral absence of a pulmonary artery (UAPA) is a rare congenital malformation resulting from the failed development or premature involution of the sixth aortic arch during embryogenesis, leading to a failure to establish a connection with the main pulmonary artery. Currently, there is a notable lack of consensus regarding the surgical management of UAPA in China. Drawing upon the latest clinical research, this consensus aims to summarize surgical approaches and techniques to improve the clinical management of UAPA patients and serve as a scientific reference for physicians specializing in pediatric cardiology and structural heart disease. This consensus aims to promote the standardization of UAPA diagnosis and treatment, thereby facilitating improved patient outcomes and long-term management, and stimulating the continuous development and innovation of surgical treatment for this condition in China.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the antipyretic effect of the Qingwen Baiduling prescription in a dry yeast-induced rat fever model and to investigate its antipyretic mechanism, providing a theoretical basis for its clinical application. MethodsSPF-grade male SD rats were randomly assigned to six groups (n=6 per group): control, model, aspirin (20 mg·kg-1), and high-, medium-, and low-dose Qingwen Baiduling prescription groups (14.40, 7.20, 3.60 g·kg-1). The fever model was established by subcutaneous injection of dry yeast suspension on the back. After model induction, body temperature was recorded every 1 hour. Drugs were administered at 6 hours after modeling, and body temperature was continuously recorded hourly for 12 hours. Record the body temperature of rats to observe the trend of changes in body temperature. Serum interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels, as well as hypothalamic prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Hypothalamic tissue morphology was examined by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. Western blot was used to detect hypothalamic expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), nuclear factor-κB p65 (NF-κB p65), inhibitor κBα (IκBα), phosphorylated IκBα (p-IκBα), IκB kinase α (IKKα), IKKβ, phosphorylated IKKα/β (p-IKKα/β), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2). ResultsCompared with the control group, the model group showed a significant increase in body temperature 6 hours after modeling (P0.01), confirming successful fever induction. Serum IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, and hypothalamic cAMP and PGE2 levels were significantly elevated (P0.01). Hypothalamic neurons exhibited irregular morphology and disordered distribution, accompanied by inflammatory cell infiltration and microglial aggregation. Expression levels of TLR4/NF-κB pathway-related proteins and phosphorylated proteins were significantly increased (P0.05, P0.01). Compared with the model group, 2-3 hours after administration, all Qingwen Baiduling prescription dose groups significantly reduced body temperature (P0.01). All dose groups significantly decreased serum IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, and hypothalamic cAMP and PGE2 levels (P0.05, P0.01). Neuronal morphology was markedly improved in the high- and medium-dose groups, with narrowed intercellular spaces and reduced inflammatory infiltration. The prescription effectively inhibited hypothalamic expression of TLR4, MyD88, NF-κB p65, p-IκBα, p-IKKα/β, and COX2 proteins (P0.05, P0.01). ConclusionQingwen Baiduling prescription effectively reduces body temperature in rats by mitigating the further effects of inflammatory cytokines on the hypothalamic thermoregulatory center through the blood-brain barrier. Its antipyretic mechanism may be related to inhibition of NF-κB pathway activation.
