Objective Based on the assumption of spatial heterogeneity,the distribution pattern and risk characteristics of health poverty in middle-aged and elderly people with chronic diseases are described from the perspective of spatial differentiation.In order to providing a theoretical basis for the optimization of subsequent poverty reduction policies and a model policy for other countries.Methods It used factor detector and interaction detector to capture the role of single-factor and multi-factor interactions on the spatial differentiation of health poverty,and risk detectors were utilized to explore the high-risk factors in risky areas Results The single factor explanation of medical assistance and health education activities is prominent,and the factors such as PM2.5,old-age dependency ratio and urban unemployment rate have strong interaction.Furthermore,it identified high-risk factor characteristics in areas at high risk of health poverty.Conclusion The spatial differentiation pattern of health poverty among the middle-aged and elderly chronic disease population in China is the result of the synergistic driving effect of multidimensional factors,and there is variability in the risk characteristics among regions.The government should establish a contextual optimization strategy and pay attention to the joint effect of multiple factors to establish a synergistic management system.

Biomaterials provide a reliable and safe treatment for the repair of ear defects,especially microtia.With the continuous promotion of interdisciplinary research,the types and properties of materials used in auricle reconstruction have been greatly expanded and improved.In this paper,the latest research progress of polymer materials and tissue engineering scaffolds in the field of auricle reconstruction was reviewed,and the physical and chemical properties and clinical application effects of these scaffolds in vitro and in vivo were discussed.However,despite significant progress in ear stent research,there are still some challenges and limitations in the application of current polymer materials,such as the hydrophobicity of high-density polyethylene and the uncontrolled differen-tiation of stem cells in tissue engineering.Therefore,this paper discusses the research and clinical application of new modified materials,especially emphasizing the importance of surface modification technology and innovative synthesis strategies,so that the properties of modified materials are infinitely close to the characteristics of human ear cartilage.In addition,this paper also summarizes the control methods of stem cell differentiation in ear carti-lage tissue engineering.The application performance and biocompatibility of different ear scaffolds were reviewed in order to provide guidance for auricle reconstruction.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of lifestyle interventions based on mobile health technolo-gy on gestational weight gain among overweight or obese pregnant women,to explore the influencing fac-tors of the intervention effect,and to provide scientific evidence for weight management during pregnan-cy.Methods:The randomized controlled trial(RCT)design was used.From April 2024 to August 2024,200 singleton overweight or obese pregnant women aged 18-40 years in early pregnancy were re-cruited and stratified block-randomized according to body mass index(BMI)categories,age,and parity.The control group received routine prenatal care,while the intervention group received lifestyle interven-tions based on mobile health technology,which included biweekly face-to-face or telephone sessions;weekly recording of dietary behavior goals with personalized feedback on WeChat public account;6 000 steps per day and 150 minutes of brisk walking per week;and weekly weight recording with personalized feedback.Based on the intention-to-treat principle,generalized linear mixed models were used to analyze the effects on weight gain and weight gain rate up to 24-28 gestational weeks,gestational diabetes melli-tus(GDM),and dietary and physical activity behaviors.Additionally,subgroup analysis and interaction analysis were conducted to explore whether intervention effects on weight gain varied by different maternal characteristics.Results:The mean age of the women in the intervention and control groups was(30.49±3.99)years and(29.83±3.95)years,respectively,with gestational weeks at enrollment being(11.35±1.61)weeks and(11.26±1.52)weeks.No statistically significant differences were observed in the baseline characteristics between the two groups(P＞0.05).In the study,10 and 12 participants were lost to the follow-up in the intervention and control groups,respectively,with 178 women comple-ting the midterm follow-up.At the midterm follow-up(24-28 weeks),the weight gain in the interven-tion and control groups was(5.00±3.72)kg and(6.57±4.28)kg,respectively.After adjusting for age,parity,gravidity,region,pre-pregnancy BMI categories,and socioeconomic status,the between-group difference was-1.63 kg(95％CI:-2.80 to-0.46;P=0.007).The adjusted between-group difference in weight gain rate was-0.07 kg/week(95％CI:-0.11 to-0.02;P=0.005).Com-pared with the control group,the intervention group had lower fasting blood glucose at the oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT)by 0.19 mmol/L(95％CI:0.04 to0.33;P=0.013).No significant difference was observed in GDM incidence between the two groups.Among different subgroups based on characteris-tics,such as age,region,socioeconomic status,and parity,there was no statistically significant dif-ference in the effect on weight gain.Conclusion:The lifestyle interventions based on mobile health tech-nology effectively controlled weight gain up to 24-28 gestational weeks among overweight or obese women and improved fasting blood glucose level.This has significant public health implications for impro-ving the health of overweight or obese pregnant women in China.

Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma(OPSCC)is a malignant tumor originating from the squamous epithelium of the oro-pharyngeal mucosa,accounting for more than 90％of oropharyngeal malignancies.In recent years,human papillomavirus(HPV)infec-tion has become one of the primary etiological factors of oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma.The incidence of HPV-associated oropharyn-geal squamous carcinoma has been rising annually,with a noticeable trend toward younger populations,posing a significant threat to hu-man health.Due to the distinct biological behavior and clinical characteristics of HPV-associated oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma com-pared to its non-HPV-related counterpart,the diagnostic and treatment strategies for oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma have undergone substantial changes.Prevention and screening for oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma are of critical importance.The diagnostic and treat-ment process involves multi-disciplinary collaboration,including oral and maxillofacial surgery,otolaryngology,head and neck surgery,oncology,radiology and pathology.Based on evidence from clinical practice,a comprehensive,integrated diagnostic and therapeutic ap-proach has been established,centered around the concept of"prevention,screening,diagnosis,treatment,and rehabilitation",covering the entire patient lifecycle and providing a valuable reference for clinical practice.

Abstract In recent years, the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents has risen rapidly, posing a serious threat to their physical and mental health. To provide scientific, systematic, and standardized weight management guidance for overweight and obese children and adolescents, the study focuses on the core concept of healthy lifestyle intervention, integrates multidisciplinary expert opinions and research findings,and proposes a comprehensive multidisciplinary intervention framework covering scientific exercise intervention, precise nutrition and diet, optimized sleep management, and standardized psychological support. It calls for the establishment of a multi agent collaborative management mechanism led by the government, implemented by families, fostered by schools, initiated by individuals, optimized by communities, reinforced by healthcare, and coordinated by multiple stakeholders. Emphasizing a child and adolescent centered approach, the consensus advocates for comprehensive, multi level, and personalized guidance strategies to promote the internalization and maintenance of a healthy lifestyle. It serves as a reference and provides recommendations for the effective prevention and control of overweight and obesity, and enhancing the health level of children and adolescents.

Objective:To improve the understanding of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) secondary to Burkitt lymphoma (BL) in children.Methods:The clinical data of a child with ALL secondary to BL who was admitted to Children's Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University in June 2024 were retrospectively analyzed, and the relevant literature was reviewed.Results:The patient was a boy with the age of 8 years and 8 months. He presented with a neck mass at the age of 4 years and 6 months, and pathological examination revealed a diagnosis of BL with clinical stage Ⅲ. The patient was given regular chemotherapy according to the Chinese Children's Lymphoma Group non-Hodgkin lymphoma mature B-cell 2017 protocol-B2 regimen. PET-CT showed recurrence of lymphoma in 6 months after the suspension of treatment. The patient was given with placement of 125I particles, oral etoposide and dexamethasone, and traditional Chinese medicine. The patient was admitted to hospital at the age of 8 years and 8 months with fever and skin hemorrhagic spots, bone marrow morphology, immunology, cytogenetics and molecular biology typing indicated a diagnosis of B-ALL with TCF3::PBX1 fusion gene. The patient received induction chemotherapy according to the Chinese Children's Leukemia Group-ALL 2018 protocol. A review of bone marrow cytology achieved complete remission on the 33rd day of chemotherapy, and minimal residual disease detected by flow cytometry indicated less than 0.01%. TCF3::PBX1 fusion gene was negative. Conclusions:ALL secondary to BL in children is rare, and the ALL treatment regimens are effective.

Objective To investigate the value of serum thymidine kinase 1(TK1),hypoxia-inducible fac-tor-1α(HIF-1α)and squamous cell carcinoma antigen(SCC)in the diagnosis and prognosis of esophageal cancer.Methods A total of 105 patients with esophageal cancer treated in the Qinhuai Medical Zone of East-ern Theater General Hospital from February 2019 to October 2021 were selected as the study group,and 80 healthy subjects were selected as the control group during the same period.The serum levels of TK1,HIF-1αand SCC were compared between study group,control group and patients with different pathological charac-teristics.Patients with esophageal cancer were followed up for 3 years,and the overall survival(OS)and pro-gression-free survival(PFS)were recorded.Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to analyze the di-agnostic efficiency of serum TK1,HIF-1α and SCC combined detection for esophageal cancer,Pearson correla-tion analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the serum indicators,and Kaplan-Meier survival a-nalysis was used to analyze the OS and PFS of patients with different serum levels of TK1,HIF-1α and SCC.Multivariate COX regression was performed to analyze prognostic factors.Results Compared with the control group,the serum TK1,HIF-1α and SCC levels in the study group increased(P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of serum TK1,HIF-1α,SCC alone and combined for diagnosis of esophageal cancer were 0.893,0.744,0.841,0.922,respectively,and their combined diagnoses of esophageal cancer had the largest AUC.Se-rum TK1,HIF-1α and SCC in patients with different TNM stages and differentiation stages were significantly different(P＜0.05).Serum TK1,HIF-1α and SCC in patients with lymph node metastasis were higher than those without lymph node metastasis(P＜0.05).Serum TK1 was positively correlated with HIF-1α and SCC levels in patients with esophageal cancer(P＜0.05).The survival functions of OS and PFS in TK1,HIF-1αand SCC low expression group were better than those in high expression group(P＜0.05).Multivariate COX regression analysis showed that low differentiation and lymph node metastasis were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in esophageal cancer patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion Serum levels of TK1,HIF-1α and SCC are increased in patients with esophageal cancer,the combined diagnosis of the three is effective.The high expression of TK1 and HIF-1αand SCC will shorten OS and PFS.

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumor,typically treated with a combination of surgery and chemotherapy in clinical practice.However,the increasing prevalence of chemotherapy resistance poses a significant challenge.Chemotherapy resistance can lead to a sharp decline in patients'survival rates.Traditional Chinese medicine,known for its low cost,wide-ranging efficacy,and diverse varieties,has attracted significant attention from researchers.Their attempts to investigate the sensitizing effect of extracted ingredients on osteosarcoma chemoresistance both in vitro and in vivo have yielded promising results.This review has summarized the studies of single traditional Chinese medicine ingredients on reversing osteosarcoma chemoresistance by the mechanisms of chemoresistance,and found that the current research of the clinical mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine ingredients in reversing osteosarcoma chemoresistance is still lacking,indicating significant potential for future development.Utilizing the theory of herbal medicine properties as the theoretical basis for ingredient development may provide novel strategies for the development of new therapeutic approaches.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of the transfer of lateral femoral fascia or combined with anteriolateral thigh flap (ALTF) on treatment of defects of Achilles tendon and surrounding soft tissue.Methods:From May 2004 to December 2021, 15 patients with Achilles tendons defects were treated with the transfer of either lateral femoral fascia or combined with ALTF in the Department of Hand and Foot Microsurgery, Xi'an Fengcheng Hospital. Two of the patients had postoperative infection after the primary treatment for Achilles tendon rupture and 13 patients had Achilles tendon defect together with various grade of defects of surrounding soft tissues. According to the size of wound, ALTFs and lateral superior knee flaps were used for the reconstructions. Various complex tissue flaps were used in reconstructive surgery: ALTF in 10 patients, the lateral thigh muscular flap in 3 patients and the lateral knee artery flap in 5 patients. The length of Achilles tendon defect was 3.0-8.0 cm and the length of fascia was 4.0-9.0 cm. The sizes of the flaps were 4.0 cm×3.0 cm-30.0 cm×18.0 cm. After the fascia and the flaps were harvested, the fascia was rolled up or wrapped up around the muscle with the knee at 30° flexion and the ankle at 30° flexion. Then end-to-end or end-to-side blood vessel anastomoses were carried out. The ALTFs were used to cover the wounds.Results:All the 15 flaps survived. After 2 to 5 years of follow-up, the heel lift test was found negative, without re-broken of Achilles tendon. All patients were in normal walking gait, except 2 patients who had mild lameness. According to the Amer-Lindholm scoring criteria, the results were excellent in 13 patients and good in 2 patients.Conclusion:Lateral thigh composite tissue transfer is an effective method to reconstruct Achilles tendon and the defects of its surrounding tissues.

Objective:To investigate intraoperative pathological findings and the interventional effects of "deep cervical lymphaticovenous anastomosis+" (dcLVA+) on deep cervical lymphatic drainage as well as the blood flow of carotid artery and jugular vein in elderly patients with cognitive impairment, and to put forward the thoughts based on the findings from the surgery.Methods:Between May 2024 and December 2024, retrospective analysis of Microsurgery Hospital, Fengcheng Hospital, Xi'an Medical College performed dcLVA+ between the deep cervical lymphatics or lymph nodes and jugular veins in 50 elderly patients with cognitive impairment (19 males and 31 females, aged 55-88 years with 69.94 years in average). Nine patients were found with Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) score at 1 (mild), 7 with CDR score at 2 (moderate) and 34 with CDR score at 3 (severe). Intraoperative observations based on literature reviews had identified anatomical relationships between the lymphatic sacs containing cervical lymphatic chain and the carotid sheath. The lymph node count, size, distribution, thickness of fat tissue and conditions of lymphatic vessels were documented. Ultrasound was used to compare the blood flow of carotid artery and jugular vein as well as the cross-sectional areas at the planes of hyoid and cricoid cartilage before and after the closure of incisions under anaesthesia in 39 patients. Correlation analyses for Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCa), Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and Agitation behavior score before and 1 week after surgery were performed using Spearman's correlation and Wilcoxon paired tests. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Postoperative follow-ups were conducted via the visit of outpatient clinic and WeChat and telephone interviews. Results:In surgery, the cervical lymphatic chain was found running within an almost enclosed sac surrounding the carotid sheath. There were enlarged lymph nodes, increased fat deposition, lymphatic dilation or fibrosis in the sac. The preoperative blood flow in the carotid artery at the planes of hyoid and cricoid cartilage in the 39 patients was recorded at 150.52 ml/min±40.33 ml/min and 358.29 ml/min±129.30 ml/min, while that in the jugular vein was at 172.50 ml/min±63.94 ml/min and 317.00 ml/min±105.21 ml/min, respectively, both were far lower than the normal blood flow. There were statistically significant differences in the blood flow of carotid artery and jugular vein before and after surgery ( P<0.01). It was found that the preoperative blood flow of the internal carotid artery at the plane of hyoid was positively correlated with the preoperative scores of MMSE ( P<0.01), MoCa ( P<0.05) and ADL ( P<0.01). The blood flow of the common carotid artery at the plane of cricoid cartilage was found significantly and positively correlated with the preoperative scores of MMSE ( P<0.05). It was also noted that the blood flow of the internal carotid artery at the plane of hyoid was significantly and positively correlated with the postoperative ADL ( P<0.01) but negatively correlated with the Agitation behavior score ( P<0.05). The blood flow of the common carotid artery at the plane of cricoid cartilage was significantly and positively correlated with the postoperative scores of MMSE and MoCa ( P<0.05). The blood flow of the internal jugular vein at the plane of hyoid was negatively correlated with the Agitation behavior score ( P<0.01). The cross-sectional area of carotid artery at the plane of left hyoid was significantly and positively correlated with the MMSE score ( P<0.05). Statistically significant differences were observed in MMSE, MoCa, ADL and Agitation behavior score before and after surgery ( P<0.01). Conclusion:dcLVA+ shows a certain therapeutic benefit to the elderly patients with cognitive impairment. The intraoperatively observed pathological changes in cervical lymphatic sacs affect deep cervical lymphatic drainage and the blood flow of carotid artery and jugular vein. Further studies are necessary to find out whether the findings from this study would be the specific pathological changes and the morbidity mechanisms among the elderly patients with cognitive impairment.
