Recent studies have shown that the physiological homeostasis of oral mucosal cells is regulated by the circadian clock.Dis-ruption or dysfunction of the circadian clock is closely associated with the development of oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC).Research based on the circadian clock offers a novel perspective on the pathogenesis and therapeutic strategies for OSCC.However,there is current-ly limited research on this topic,and people generally have insufficient understanding and recognition of the circadian clock.Given the complexity and challenges of circadian clock which is the fourth dimension of medical research,we organize relevant experts based on summarizing the current research results of circadian clock in the pathogenesis and precision diagnosis and treatment of OSCC,combining the scientific principles of the circadian clock's role and their long-term research experience,then summarizes and recommends the con-sensus opinions for the research of circadian clock in the pathogenesis mechanism and precision diagnosis and treatment of human OSCC,with the hope of providing guidance for the basic research and clinical application of circadian clock or circadian rhythm in the pathogene-sis mechanism and precision diagnosis and treatment of oral and maxillofacial squamous cell carcinoma.

The advancement of surgical techniques enables effective treatment for many patients with oral and maxillofacial tumors.How-ever,post-surgery problems such as chewing,swallowing and speech difficulty may arise due to the defects in speech organs and inade-quate compensatory function of tissue flap repair.Speech disorders,in particular,isolate patients by making it difficult for them to com-municate with others,not only impact their quality of life but also potentially lead to psychological problems and social interaction disor-ders.Although the decline in life quality and other related issues caused by speech dysfunction due to surgery and radiotherapy or chemo-therapy have been widely recognized,there is currently no standardized and universally applicable assessment method and standardized re-habilitation treatment management guideline or consensus for speech disorders following oral and maxillofacial tumor surgery at home and abroad.Based on previous clinical practice,combined with the characteristics of speech disorders in patients after oral and maxillofacial tumor surgery,the clinical experience of the experts in maxillofacial tumor surgery and rehabilitation and the relevant domestic and foreign literature,relevant experts organized discussions and modifications,reach a consensus on core content such as the assessment of speech disorders and the implementation plan for early rehabilitation treatment management,providing a reference for clinical practice,in order to improve patients'speech-related life quality and enhance the assessment and rehabilitation treatment techniques for speech disorders after oral and maxillofacial tumor surgery.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy，safety and feasibility of regional lymph node dissection in laparoscopic radical surgery for bladder cancer under the guidance of indocyanine green fluorescence imaging. Methods: A total of 30 patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer (T2/T3NxM0) who volunteered to enter the clinical trial were randomly divided into the indocyanine green imaging guided laparoscopic regional lymph node dissection group (n=15) and the standard pelvic lymph node dissection group (n=15).The number of positive lymph nodes，operation time，intraoperative bleeding volume，incidence of lymph leakage，and tumor recurrence and metastasis rate 2-year after surgery were collected. Results: The number of positive lymph nodes was (4.20±1.66) and (4.60±1.72) respectively in the indocyanine green and standard groups，with no statistically significant difference (P>0.05).There were no statistically significant difference in the tumor recurrence and metastasis rates 2-year after surgery between the two groups (P>0.05).However，the indocyanine green group had shorter operation time，less intraoperative bleeding volume，and lower incidence of lymphatic leakage than the standard group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Indocyanine green fluorescence imaging guided laparoscopic lymph node dissection has comparable clinical efficacy to standard lymph node dissection，but with fewer complications.

Objective To analyze the effect and molecular mechanism of phellodendron amurense in the treatment of liver injury based on network pharmacology,and to verify the relevant prediction targets and the protective effect of phellodendron amurense extract-Phellodendron amurense polysaccharide on immune liver injury through mice.Methods TCMSP and Swiss target prediction databases were used to retrieve and screen phellodendron amurenses active components and action targets,and then obtain disease-related targets on GeneCards and OMIM websites,and take compounds and disease intersection targets for protein interaction.Analysis,GO biological function and KEGG signaling pathway enrichment analysis,followed by molecular docking of compounds and key target proteins,and finally established a mouse liver injury model induced by Daodou protein A(Con A)to explore the mechanism of phellodendron amurense extract in the treatment of liver injury.Results 37 active ingredients were screened.The key targets for their treatment were tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α),serine/threonine protein kinase 1(AKT1),signal transduction and transcription activation factor 3(STAT3),epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)anditin.Enzyme 3(CASP3)and other enrichment analysis showed that phellodendron amurense might play a protective role in protecting the liver through molecular mechanisms such as positive regulation of MAPK cas-cade reaction,oxidative stress response and regulatory PI3K-Akt signaling pathway,lipid and atherosclerosis.Ani-mal experiments had found that the gastric treatment of phellodendron amurense polysaccharide could improve the activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD)and catalase(CAT)in liver tissue,reduce the levels of serum alkaline phosphatase(ALP),aspartate aminotransferase(AST)and malonaldehyde(MDA)in liver tissue,and regulate serum inflammatory factor while the expression of intercitin(IL)-6,IL-1 β,tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α),ac-tivated the expression of transforming growth factor β1(TGF-β1),and reduced TNF-α mRNA expression in liver tissue.Conclusion Phellodendron amurense can intervene in lipid and atherosclerosis pathways by acting on tar-gets such as TNF-α,AKT1,STAT3,EGFR and CASP3 to reduce oxidative stress and inflammatory reactions and achieve liver protection.

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.

Objective To investigate the efficacy,safety and feasibility of laparoscopic lymph node dissection guided by indocyanine green(ICG)fluorescence imaging.Methods A total of 30 patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer(MIBC,T2/T3NxM0)who were admitled to the Cangzhou People's Hospital during Mar.2018 and Jun.2022 were included.The lymph nodes were cleared with ICG fluorescence imaging first,and then the remaining lymph nodes were cleared according to the standard pelvic lymph node range.The lymph node positive rate of ICG fluorescence imaging guided laparoscopic lymph node precise dissection and standard pelvic lymph node dissection was analyzed by self-comparison.Results ICG fluorescence imaging guided laparoscopic lymph node precise dissection needed shorter operation time than standard pelvic lymph node dissection[(21.80±6.80)min vs.(47.70±10.73)min,P＜0.05].There was no significant difference in the lymph node positive rate between the two approaches[(11.34±9.06)％vs.(12.36±9.43)％,P＞0.05],but the former approach caused less damage on blood vessels and nerves.Conclusion Indocyanine green fluorescence imaging guided laparoscopic lymph node dissection has comparable efficacy to standard pelvic lymph node dissection,which can reduce ineffective lymph node dissection,shorten the operation time,and reduce the risk of complications.

To investigate the safety and feasibility of gasless total endoscopic resection of deep lobe parotid gland tumors via a postauricular hairline plus temporal approach. The approach was designed as: a 4 to 5 cm main incision was designed at the postauricular hairline, and a 0.5 cm auxiliary incision was designed in the temporal hairline. The operating cavity was established with the assistance of a special retractor. "Anterograde" dissection of the facial nerve was performed throughout the procedure, along with partial or total gland removal of the tumor. All 16 operations were successfully completed without conversion to open surgery. During the operation, the trunk and branches of the facial nerve were completely preserved, the tumor was completely removed, and the incision healed. Six patients had mild facial paralysis after operation, and recovered completely after 3 to 6 months. There was no salivary fistula, Frey syndrome, infection, or other complications. The postoperative incision was concealed and the aesthetic effect was good. The postauricular hairline plus temporal approach gasless total endoscopic parotidectomy is safe and feasible. This technique can achieve the complete dissection of the total trunk to the branches of the facial nerve, and has good access to the tumors located in any part of the parotid gland region. On the basis of radical resection of the tumor, it achieves minimally invasive and aesthetic improvement.
