Objective:
To explore the application method and clinical efficacy of endoscopic and computerized navigation technology in maxillofacial foreign body removal surgery, and to provide a reference for the clinical application of this technology.
Methods:
This study, which was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the hospital, retrospectively analyzed the data of five patients with maxillofacial foreign bodies who were admitted to Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University from January 2018 to December 2024. All patients underwent preoperative CT scanning. Intraoperatively, endoscopic and computer navigation techniques were used in combination or separately according to the location, size, and adjacency of the foreign body to important neurovascular vessels. The foreign body was precisely localized by endoscopic magnification and direct visualization, and the optimal surgical path was designed and verified under the real-time guidance of computerized navigation to accurately remove the foreign body. The type of foreign body, location, length and diameter, duration of surgery, length of incision, success rate of foreign body removal, postoperative complications, and follow-up were recorded and analyzed.
Results:
The foreign body was successfully removed in all five patients with a success rate of 100%. The intraoperative computerized navigation system was accurate in positioning, and the alignment stability was not significantly affected by mandibular movement; the endoscope provided good illumination and exposure of the operative field. All surgical incisions were small, and no serious complications, such as foreign body residue, important neurovascular injury, or infection, occurred after surgery. One month after the operation, the patients were followed up and recovered well.
Conclusion
The combination of endoscopy and computer navigation or separately assisted technology can provide a clear field and real-time positioning for maxillofacial foreign body removal, effectively avoiding important anatomical structures, thus realizing safe and complete foreign body removal with minimized trauma. This assistive technology significantly improves the accuracy and safety of the operation and has clinical promotion value.

The core pathogenesis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) lies in deficiency, stasis and stagnation. Deficiency arises from kidney essence depletion and spleen dysfunction in transportation and transformation, leading to inadequate nourishment of the marrow sea. Stasis caused by qi deficiency leads to obstruction in channels and collaterals, resulting in obstructed marrow transport. Stagnation is associated with the excess of the five minds transforming into fire, which scorches the brain orifices and leads to loss of control over marrow utilisation. Based on this, a "supplementation-unblocking-regulation" therapeutic approach is proposed. For deficiency, the focus is on supplementing kidney and fortifying spleen, and replenishing the marrow sea. For stasis, the priority is to unblock and open the orifices, and clear the marrow channels. For stagnation, the core is to clear fire and contain the mind, regulate and restore vital activity. In clinical practice, it is necessary to identify the primary and secondary pathogenic mechanisms and apply dynamic, combined treatment, integrating Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture, and guiding exercises throughout the process, aiming to provide a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD with traditional Chinese medical.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is often accompanied by tic disorder. The core pathogenesis is considered to be ministerial fire scorching yin and internal stirring of deficient wind, which leads to disharmony between the body and spirit, resulting in clinical manifestations. The treatment principles emphasize nourishing yin fluids, calming ministerial fire, and extinguishing endogenous wind (内风). The method of nourishing yin fluids is applied throughout the entire treatment process, commonly using ingredients such as Shudihuang (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata), Shanzhuyu (Corni Fructus), Gouqizi (Lycii Fructus), Wuweizi (Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus), and Tusizi (Cuscutae Semen). These are combined with approaches to harmonize the zang-fu organs, primarily including extinguishing liver wind, clearing heart fire, nourishing kidney water, and strengthening spleen earth, thereby stabilizing ministerial fire and extinguishing endogenous wind. Additionally, emotional regulation and smoothing emotional constraint are essential to improve clinical symptoms in children with ADHD comorbid with tic disorder.

Childhood simple obesity has become a significant public health issue in China. Modern medicine primarily relies on lifestyle interventions and often suffers from poor long-term compliance, while pharmacological options are limited and associated with potential adverse effects. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a long history in the prevention and management of this condition, demonstrating eight distinct advantages, including systematic theoretical foundation, diversified therapeutic approaches, definite therapeutic efficacy, high safety profile, good patient compliance, comprehensive intervention strategies, emphasis on prevention, and stepwise treatment protocols. Additionally, TCM is characterized by six distinctive features: the use of natural medicinal substances, non-invasive external therapies, integration of medicinal dietetics, simple exercise regimens, precise syndrome differentiation, and diverse dosage forms. By combining internal and external treatments, TCM facilitates individualized regimen adjustment and holistic regulation, demonstrating remarkable effects in improving obesity-related metabolic indicators, regulating constitutional imbalance, and promoting healthy behaviors. However, challenges remain, such as inconsistent operational standards, insufficient high-quality clinical evidence, and a gap between basic research and clinical application. Future efforts should focus on accelerating the standardization of TCM diagnosis and treatment, conducting multicenter randomized controlled trials, and fostering interdisciplinary integration, so as to enhance the scientific validity and international recognition of TCM in the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity.

Childhood obesity is a chronic nutritional disorder caused by multiple factors that result in excessive total body fat and/or increased local fat content and abnormal fat distribution,sometimes accompanied by complications such as metabolic syndrome. The obesity caused by other factors excluding the secondary factors like genetics or metabolism is referred to as simple obesity. The incidence of childhood obesity in China is showing a trend toward younger ages and rapid growth,posing a serious threat to people's health and creating a heavy economic burden. Therefore,it is urgent to control and effectively intervene in childhood obesity. Traditional Chinese herbal medicine has long been a representative of internal treatment and shows effectiveness and advantages in the clinical treatment of childhood obesity. However,there is currently a lack of a comprehensive set of diagnostic and treatment standards,as well as evidence-based clinical practice. In order to improve clinical physicians' understanding of this disease and to promote the standardization and rationalization of herbal treatment,experts in clinical Chinese and Western medicine,nutrition,and methodology from across China were invited. On the basis of expert experience and current evidence,the Grading of Recommendations Assessment,Development,and Evaluation (GRADE) method was used to grade the evidence and recommendations. After two rounds of Delphi expert consultations,the guideline secretariat revised and refined the materials based on expert opinions. Ultimately,14 entries of expert consensus and recommendations were formulated,highlighting the advantages and characteristics of herbal treatment for childhood obesity,clarifying syndrome differentiation,medication,treatment cycles,and combination therapy plans for common clinical syndromes,thereby providing more treatment ideas in clinical practice and better leveraging therapeutic advantages.

Objective:To investigate the expression of heat shock factor binding protein 1 (HSPB1) in endometrial carcinoma and its clinical significance.Methods:The pan-cancer dataset after standardization and unification was downloaded from the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) Genome database (updated to December 6, 2019), and the expression of HSPB1 in pan-cancer was analyzed. The transcriptome data of endometrial carcinoma of the uterus from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database were downloaded (updated to July 21, 2016), including 552 cases of endometrial carcinoma and 35 cases of corresponding adjacent tissue samples. The clinical data of 543 patients with endometrial cancer were obtained. The differences in the expression levels of HSPB1 in patients with different clinicopathological features were compared. R 4.3.1 software maxstat was used to calculate the optimal critical value (>46.30) of HSPB1 expression, and the patients were divided into HSPB1 low expression group (<46.30) and HSPB1 high expression group (≥46.30). Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the difference in prognosis between the 2 groups, and log-rank test was performed. The top 50 genes with positive and negative correlation with HSPB1 were screened by LinkedOmics database. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis were performed on HSPB1. The interaction network of HSPB1 protein was analyzed by STRING database and Cytoscape 3.9.1 software. The correlation between HSPB1 expression and various immune cell infiltration levels was analyzed by using the TIMER2.0 database.Results:The expression of HSPB1 in 27 kinds of tumor tissues was higher than that in paracancerous tissues, and the expression of HSPB1 in 2 kinds of tumor tissues was lower than that in paracancerous tissues (all P < 0.05). In the transcriptome data of 552 cases of endometrial cancer and 35 cases of corresponding paracancerous tissues in the TCGA database, the relative expression level of HSPB1 in endometrial cancer tissues was higher than that in corresponding paracancerous tissues ( t = -2.90, P = 0.005). The result of the comparison of relative expression level of HSPB1 in endometrial cancer patients with different clinicopathological features showed that patients aged < 65 years had higher expression level compared to those aged ≥ 65 years, patients at clinical stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ had higher expression level compared to those at stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ, patients with Grade grading G 1-G 2 had higher expression level compared to those with G 3, and patients with pathological type I had higher expression level compared to those with type Ⅱ (all P < 0.05). Of the 543 patients, 2 were lost to follow-up, and the overall survival of the remaining 541 patients with high HSPB1 expression was better than that of those with the low expression ( HR = 0.532, 95% CI: 0.333-0.849, P = 0.008). HSPB1 and its related genes were mainly involved in estrogen signaling, p53 signaling and other pathways; HSPB1 was involved in cysteine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity and calcium-dependent protein binding. The top 10 genes with the strongest correlation with HSPB1 in protein-protein interaction analysis were DSG3, EVPL, PKP1, DSC3, PKP3, PPL, KRT5, IVL, TGM1 and CSTA. The expression of HSPB1 was negatively correlated with tumor purity ( r = -0.025, P < 0.01), and positively correlated with CD4 + T cells ( r = 0.204, P < 0.01), CD8 + T cells ( r = 0.225, P < 0.01), B cells ( r = 0.285, P < 0.01), NK cells ( r = 0.269, P < 0.01), macrophages ( r = 0.234, P < 0.01) and dendritic cells ( r = 0.354, P < 0.01). Conclusions:The high expression of HSPB1 is associated with clinicopathological features, prognosis and immune infiltration in patients with endometrial carcinoma. It may be one of the reference indexes for predicting the prognosis of patients with endometrial cancer.
