Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and prognosis of endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD)and surgical methods in the treatment of early esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma(AEG),and to analyze factors influencing prognosis.Methods Hospitalized patients with early AEG who underwent ESD or surgical treatment at Anhui Provincial Hospital from January 2010 to December 2022 were collected.Among them,186 patients underwent ESD and 364 patients underwent surgical treatment.Propensity score matching was used with a ratio of 1∶1,with 164 patients in each group.Clinical outcomes,survival outcomes,and postoperative complications were compared before and after matching.Factors influencing mortality and recurrence in EGJ patients were analyzed.Results 1.Before and after matching,the ESD group had lower surgical time,hospital stay,hospital costs,intraoperative bleeding volume,and adverse events compared to the surgical group(P＜0.001).2.The matched ESD group had 1-,3-,and 5-year overall survival rates of 99.5％,94.5％,and 90.2％,respectively,while the surgical group had rates of 100％,99.4％,and 97.5％for the same periods.The 1-,3-,and 5-year recurrence-free survival rates in the matched ESD group were 99.5％,96.3％,and 93.4％,respectively,compared to 100％,98.6％,and 92.5％in the surgical group.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis before and after matching showed no significant difference in overall survival and recurrence-free survival between the two groups(P＞0.05).3.Age,poor differentiation,and vascular invasion were independent risk factors for OS;age and tumor size were independent risk factors for RFS.Conclusion Patients with early AEG undergoing ESD or surgical treatment have consistent clinical outcomes.ESD can be considered an effective and safe treatment for early AEG.

Curettage is the main treatment method for oral maxillofacial cystic lesions,but simple curettage may easily damage surrounding structures such as adjacent teeth and nerves,leading to incomplete removal of the cyst and large jaw defects.The curettage assisted by endoscopy can provide a good surgical field for the surgeons,can clearly identify the important anatomical structure during the operation and can remove the cyst wall tissue as much as possible,thereby reducing the damage and reducing the recurrence rate of the lesion.This article combines the characteristics of maxillofacial surgery with clinical treatment experience,summarizes relevant literature from both domestic and international sources,and engages in discussions with experts in order to provide reference for the clinical treatment of jaw cystic lesions with endo-scope assisted curettage.

The biological clock(also known as the circadian rhythm)is the fundamental reliance for all organisms on Earth to adapt and survive in the Earth's rotation environment.Circadian rhythm is the most basic regulatory mechanism of life activities,and plays a key role in maintaining normal physiological and biochemical homeostasis,disease occurrence and treatment.Recent studies have shown that the biologi-cal clock plays an important role in the development of oral tissues and in the occurrence and treatment of oral diseases.Since there is cur-rently no guiding literature on the research methods of biological clock in stomatology,researchers mainly conduct research based on pub-lished references,which has led to controversy about the research methods of biological clock in stomatology,and there are many confusions about how to rationally apply the research methods of circadia rhythms.In view of this,this expert consensus summarizes the characteristics of the biological clock and analyzes the shortcomings of the current biological clock research in stomatology,and organizes relevant experts to summarize and recommend 10 principles as a reference for the rational implementation of the biological clock in stomatology research.

Neck dissection(ND)is one of the main treatment methods for oral and maxillofacial malignancies.Although ND type is in con-stant improvement,but intraoperative peal-pull-push injury of the accessory nerve,muscle,muscle membrane,fascia and ligament induced shoulder syndrome(SS)is still a common postoperative complication,combined with the influence of radiochemotherapy,not only can cause pain,stiffness,numbness,limited dysfunction of shoulder neck and arm,but also may have serious impact on patient's life quality and phys-ical and mental health.At present,there is still a lack of a systematic evaluation and rehabilitation management program for postoperative SS of oral and maxillofacial malignant tumors.Based on the previous clinical practice and the current available evidence,refer to the relevant lit-erature at home and abroad,the experts in the field of maxillofacial tumor surgery and rehabilitation were invited to discuss,modify and reach a consenusus on the etiology,assessment diagnosis,differential diagnosis,rehabilitation strategy and prevention of SS,in order to provide clinical reference.

Objective To establish an evaluation system of pathogen detection rate of hospitalized patients before antimicrobial treatment based on process and outcome indicators,and study its application effect.Methods Hospi-talized patients with therapeutic antimicrobial treatment in a tertiary first-class hospital from July 2022 to June 2023 were selected as the study objects.Difference in process and outcome indicators were compared between before(Ju-ly-December 2022,control group)and after(January-June 2023,intervention group)the implementation of inter-vention in the evaluation system for pathogen detection rate of hospitalized patients before antimicrobial treatment.Results 41 577 and 27 052 hospitalized patients received therapeutic antimicrobial agents were included in the inter-vention group and control group,respectively.Pathogen detection rate and the accurate pathogen detection rate in the intervention group were both higher than those in the control group(74.2％vs 62.8％and 90.3％vs 82.5％,respectively),both with statistically significant differences(both P＜0.001).The goal achievement rate and im-provement rate for pathogen detection rate were 237.5％and 18.2％respectively,the goal achievement rate and im-provement rate for accurate pathogen detection rate were 104.0％and 9.5％respectively.For the process indica-tors,the conformity rate of detection and diagnosis,accurate collection rate,timely transfer rate,acceptance rate of pathogen specimens in the intervention group were all higher than those in the control group,differences were all statistically significant(all P＜0.001).For the outcome indicators,detection rates of targeted indicators and blood culture specimens,pathogen detection rate before treatment of restricted and special grade antimicrobial agent,as well as detection rate of sterile body fluid specimens in the intervention group were all higher than those in the con-trol group,with statistical significance(all P＜0.05).In addition,the positive rate of blood culture specimens in-creased from 18.5％before intervention to 21.7％after intervention,with statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).Conclusion The establishment of indicator evaluation system can improve the detection rate and accurate detection rate of pathogens before antimicrobial treatment,as well as the management quality and connotation of indicators.

Surgical operation is the main treatment of oral and maxillofacial tumors.Dysphagia is a common postoperative complication.Swal-lowing disorder can not only lead to mis-aspiration,malnutrition,aspiration pneumonia and other serious consequences,but also may cause psychological problems and social communication barriers,affecting the quality of life of the patients.At present,there is no systematic evalua-tion and rehabilitation management plan for the problem of swallowing disorder after oral and maxillofacial tumor surgery in China.Combining the characteristics of postoperative swallowing disorder in patients with oral and maxillofacial tumors,summarizing the clinical experience of ex-perts in the field of tumor and rehabilitation,reviewing and summarizing relevant literature at home and abroad,and through joint discussion and modification,a group of national experts reached this consensus including the core contents of the screening of swallowing disorders,the phased assessment of prognosis and complications,and the implementation plan of comprehensive management such as nutrition management,respiratory management,swallowing function recovery,psychology and nursing during rehabilitation treatment,in order to improve the evalua-tion and rehabilitation of swallowing disorder after oral and maxillofacial tumor surgery in clinic.

Cryoablation therapy with explicit anti-tumor mechanisms and histopathological manifestations has a long history.A large number of clinical practice has shown that cryoablation therapy is safe and effective,making it an ideal tumor treatment method in theory.Previously,its efficacy and clinical application were constrained by the limitations of refrigerants and refrigeration equipment.With the development of the new generation of cryoablation equipment represented by argon helium knives,significant progress has been made in refrigeration efficien-cy,ablation range,and precise temperature measurement,greatly promoting the progression of tumor cryoablation technology.This consensus systematically summarizes the mechanism of cryoablation technology,indications for oral mucosal melanoma(OMM)cryotherapy,clinical treatment process,adverse reactions and management,cryotherapy combination therapy,etc.,aiming to provide reference for carrying out the standardized cryoablation therapy of OMM.

Background Blue light, as an occupational hazard, is widely present in welding and related work environments. However, China's occupational health standard system has not yet established any limit for blue light exposure in welding work environments. Objective To study and propose blue light exposure limits in welding operation environments, and provide a reference for evaluation of blue light hazard and maximum allowable exposure time in welding operations. Methods A function between retinal irradiance and welding arc radiance was introduced by studying arc light and blue light radiation generated in welding operation environments, analyzing the incoherent light radiation protection guidelines issued by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), and combined with factors such as the size of arc light in welding operations, the distance between the welder's eyes and the arc light, and the diameter of the human eye pupil, as well as the geometric optics principle of human eye imaging and the conservation of energy. Then, the radiance limit (100 W·m⁻²·Sr⁻¹) issued by ICNIRP was input into the above function to calculate the blue light irradiance exposure limit in the welding operation environments. Results The blue light irradiance exposure limit in the welding operation environments (\begin{document}$ {E}_{{\rm{B}}}^{{\rm{EL}}} $\end{document}) was 3 W·m⁻². Considering the high repeatability of welding operations, the exposure limit for blue light radiant exposure (\begin{document}$ {H}_{{\rm{B}}}^{{\rm{EL}}} $\end{document}) was 60 J·m⁻². According to the definitions of radiant exposure and irradiance, the maximum allowable exposure time within one working day was calculated according to the formula \begin{document}$ {t}_{\mathrm{m}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{x}}={H}_{{\rm{B}}}^{{\rm{EL}}}{/E}_{{\rm{B}}} $\end{document}, in which \begin{document}$ {E}_{{\rm{B}}} $\end{document} was the measured blue light irradiance in a welding environment. Conclusion Exposure limits of radiant exposure for blue light are proposed to provide important references for evaluating the hazards and maximum allowable exposure time of blue light in welding operations, and for future development of occupational exposure limit standards for blue light in China.

With the increasing proportion of human papilloma virus(HPV)infection in the pathogenic factors of oro-pharyngeal cancer,a series of changes have occurred in the surgical treatment.While the treatment mode has been im-proved,there are still many problems,including the inconsistency between diagnosis and treatment modes,the lack of popularization of reconstruction technology,the imperfect post-treatment rehabilitation system,and the lack of effective preventive measures.Especially in terms of treatment mode for early oropharyngeal cancer,there is no unified conclu-sion whether it is surgery alone or radiotherapy alone,and whether robotic minimally invasive surgery has better func-tional protection than radiotherapy.For advanced oropharyngeal cancer,there is greater controversy over the treatment mode.It is still unclear whether to adopt a non-surgical treatment mode of synchronous chemoradiotherapy or induction chemotherapy combined with synchronous chemoradiotherapy,or a treatment mode of surgery combined with postopera-tive chemoradiotherapy.In order to standardize the surgical treatment of oropharyngeal cancer in China and clarify the indications for surgical treatment of oropharyngeal cancer,this expert consensus,based on the characteristics and treat-ment status of oropharyngeal cancer in China and combined with the international latest theories and practices,forms consensus opinions in multiple aspects of preoperative evaluation,surgical indication determination,primary tumor re-section,neck lymph node dissection,postoperative defect repair,postoperative complication management prognosis and follow-up of oropharyngeal cancer patients.The key points include:① Before the treatment of oropharyngeal cancer,the expression of P16 protein should be detected to clarify HPV status;② Perform enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the maxillofacial region before surgery to evaluate the invasion of oropharyngeal cancer and guide precise surgical resec-tion of oropharyngeal cancer.Evaluating mouth opening and airway status is crucial for surgical approach decisions and postoperative risk prediction;③ For oropharyngeal cancer patients who have to undergo major surgery and cannot eat for one to two months,it is recommended to undergo percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy before surgery to effectively improve their nutritional intake during treatment;④ Early-stage oropharyngeal cancer patients may opt for either sur-gery alone or radiation therapy alone.For intermediate and advanced stages,HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer general-ly prioritizes radiation therapy,with concurrent chemotherapy considered based on tumor staging.Surgical treatment is recommended as the first choice for HPV unrelated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma(including primary and re-current)and recurrent HPV related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma after radiotherapy and chemotherapy;⑤ For primary exogenous T1-2 oropharyngeal cancer,direct surgery through the oral approach or da Vinci robotic sur-gery is preferred.For T3-4 patients with advanced oropharyngeal cancer,it is recommended to use temporary mandibu-lectomy approach and lateral pharyngotomy approach for surgery as appropriate;⑥ For cT1-2N0 oropharyngeal cancer patients with tumor invasion depth＞3 mm and cT3-4N0 HPV unrelated oropharyngeal cancer patients,selective neck dissection of levels ⅠB to Ⅳ is recommended.For cN+HPV unrelated oropharyngeal cancer patients,therapeutic neck dissection in regions Ⅰ-Ⅴ is advised;⑦ If PET-CT scan at 12 or more weeks after completion of radiation shows intense FDG uptake in any node,or imaging suggests continuous enlargement of lymph nodes,the patient should undergo neck dissection;⑧ For patients with suspected extracapsular invasion preoperatively,lymph node dissection should include removal of surrounding muscle and adipose connective tissue;⑨ The reconstruction of oropharyngeal cancer defects should follow the principle of reconstruction steps,with priority given to adjacent flaps,followed by distal pedicled flaps,and finally free flaps.The anterolateral thigh flap with abundant tissue can be used as the preferred flap for large-scale postoperative defects.

Objective To analyze the problems of review of anti-tumor drug prescriptions and medical orders assisted by an information system to improve the review rules,and to provide a reference for improving review quality of anti-tumor drug prescription.Methods The problem with the pre-review of anti-tumor drug prescriptions and medical orders assisted by the information system in Sichuan Cancer Hospital during 2020-2022 were collected.The data came from the MEDICOM PASS system in Sichuan Cancer hospital.Clinical pharmacists made comments on relevant problems and analyzed the results.Results A total of 9 325 antitumor drug pre-approval problems,including 6 279 outpatient prescriptions(67.3%)and 3 046 inpatient orders(32.7%),among which 6 153(66.0%)were unsuitable indications,1 933(20.7%)were drug contraindications,449(4.8%)were problematic routes of administration,345(3.7%)were unsuitable drug compatibility,177(1.9%)were inappropriate drug frequency,133(1.4%)were problematic drug populations,74(0.8%)were unsuitable single doses,39(0.4%)were unacceptable drug interactions,22(0.2%)were unsuitable drug total.The results of clinical pharmacists'comments were 4 459 reasonable cases,with a false positive rate of 47.8%.The false positive problems included 2 264(50.8%)cases of unsuitable indications,1 933(43.3%)cases of drug contraindications,231(5.2%)cases of problematic routes of administration,and 31(0.7%)cases of unsuitable populations.Conclusion The review of anti-tumor drug prescriptions assisted by an information system can effectively intercept irrational drug use and improve the review quality of prescriptions and medical orders.However,the evidence-based medicine date of antitumor drugs is updated quickly.Pharmacists should constantly improve the prescription review rules based on the latest evidence-based medicine data.
