Objective·To explore the relationship between abdominal fat area and the first-phase insulin secretion function of pancreatic β-cells in patients with type 2 diabetes,and to establish predictive models of nomogram.Methods·From October 2020 to February 2024,a total of 120 patients with type 2 diabetes,who were hospitalized in the Department of Endocrinology,Zhongshan Hospital,Fudan University,and underwent the arginine stimulation test,were recruited for the study.Patients were categorized into an insulin secretion function-preserved group(i.e.preserved group)and a depleted group according to the results of the arginine stimulation test.General information and laboratory parameters were collected.Subcutaneous fat area(SFA)and visceral fat area(VFA)were non-invasively measured by abdominal fat detector.The variables were screened by univariate analysis,and multivariate Logistic regression was used to identify the influencing factors,followed by the establishment of predictive models of nomogram.The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC curve)and concordance index(C-index)were used to evaluate the predictive performance of the models.Results·Seventy-four patients(61.7%)were assigned to the preserved group,and 46 patients(38.3%)to the depleted group.Patients in the depleted group had a longer diabetes duration,lower waist circumference,hip circumference,body mass index(BMI),uric acid,free triiodothyronine(FT3),adipose tissue insulin resistance(Adipo-IR),ankle brachial index(ABI),SFA and VFA,and higher brachial ankle pulse wave velocity(baPWV).Multivariate Logistic regression showed that SFA,VFA,FT3,baPWV,and ABI were independent risk factors for the depleted insulin secretion function.Nomogram models were constructed based on the above risk factors.Among them,the model comprising VFA,FT3,ABI,and baPWV showed the best predictive performance with a C-index of 0.81.Conclusion·SFA and VFA are lower in patients with depleted first-phase insulin secretion function of pancreatic β-cells.The nomogram model,including SFA or VFA,can be used to predict first-phase insulin secretion function of pancreatic β-cells in patients with type 2 diabetes.

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.

Objective : To explore the role of lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 3(LPCAT3) in Erastin-induced ferroptosis of acute myeloid leukemia(AML) cells and its related molecular regulatory mechanisms. Methods : Tetrazolium salt(MTS) method was used to detect the sensitivity of different AML cells to the classic ferroptosis inducer Erastin, real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qPCR) was used to detect the basal expression level ofLPCAT3mRNA, and the correlation between them was analyzed. Lentivirus-mediatedLPCAT3overexpression AML cell lines(OE group) and negative control lines(NC group) were constructed. After Erastin intervention, MTS, flow cytometry, and micromethods were used to detect cell viability, lipid reactive oxygen species(ROS), and Malondialdehyde(MDA), respectively. qPCR and Western blot were used to detect unfolded protein response(UPR) classic pathway signaling molecules(PERK, ATF4, GRP78, etc.) expression levels. The above ferroptosis-related indicators were detected after combined intervention with the UPR inhibitor 4-phenylbutyric acid(4-PBA), and the regulatory relationship was analyzed. Results : Four different types of AML cells had different sensitivities to ferroptosis, among which K562 cells were relatively insensitive. The IC50of the four types of AML cells to Erastin was negatively correlated with the expression level ofLPCAT3(r=-0.919,P<0.001). After Erastin intervention, the cell viability of K562 cells in the OE group was significantly inhibited by Erastin compared with the NC group(P<0.001), and the levels of lipid ROS and MDA increased(P<0.001). The results of qPCR and Western blot showed that, compared with the NC group, the mRNA and protein expression of UPR classic pathway moleculesPERK,ATF4, andGRP78mRNA and protein increased in the OE group(P<0.01). After inhibiting the UPR pathway by 4-PBA, the viability of K562 cells decreased(P<0.01), and lipid ROS and MDA levels increased(P<0.01) compared with the uninhibited state. Conclusion Overexpression ofLPCAT3can promote ferroptosis in K562 cells, and this process is negatively regulated by the classical UPR pathway PERK/ATF.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC)is a malignant lesion originating from the oral mucosal squamous epithelium,account-ing for over 80％of oral and maxillofacial malignancies.Key etiological factors include tobacco,alcohol abuse,and betel quid chewing.In China,its incidence has shown an overall upward trend,posing a significant threat to public health.OSCC exhibits high local invasive-ness,making early diagnosis critical for improving prognosis.Its clinical management requires close multidisciplinary collaboration among oral and maxillofacial surgery,head and neck surgery,radiation oncology,medical oncology,reconstructive surgery,radiology,patholo-gy,and nutritional support teams.Given the increasing disease burden of OSCC and rapid development of multidisciplinary collaborative models,an expert panel has formulated this integrated management consensus based on evidence-based medicine and extensive deliber-ation.Centered on the'Prevention-Screening-Diagnosis-Treatment-Rehabilitation'framework,the consensus provides comprehensive guidance for the entire disease course of OSCC patients,aiming to standardize clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the clinical significance of prenatal screening and genetic analysis in the diagnosis of fetal aberrant right subclavian artery(ARSA).Methods:The ultrasonographic features of ARSA fetu-ses detected by prenatal ultrasound at the University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital from October 2017 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.The fetuses were divided into isolated ARSA group and complicated ARSA group.Their genetic analysis results and pregnancy outcome were analyzed.Results:Among 30,260 preg-nant women,185 fetuses were diagnosed with ARSA by prenatal ultrasound screening,with an incidence of 0.6％;5 fetuses(2.6％)were diagnosed by ultrasound in the first trimester,and the remaining were diagnosed by fetal grade Ⅲ structural ultrasound examination at 20～24 weeks' gestation.Among them,158 fetuses(85.4％)had isolated ARSA,and 27(14.6％)had complicated ARSA.Among fetuses with ARSA and other structural abnormal-ities,cardiovascular system accounted for the highest proportion(44.4％),followed by nervous system(22.2％)and urinary system(22.2％).Through genetic analysis,8.3％(4/48)fetuses with isolated ARSA and 40.0％(4/10)fetuses with complicated ARSA were found to have chromosomal numerical or structural abnormalities,with statis-tically significant difference between the two groups(P=0.024).Genetic analysis was completed in 48 isolated ARSA,and the positive rate of pathogenic copy number variants(CNV)was 4.2％(2/48),which was not signifi-cantly different from the pathogenic CNV incidence rate of 0.4％(1/239)in elderly pregnant cases during the same period(P=0.074).The Down syndrome positive likelihood ratio(LR+)for isolated ARSA was 2.5 and the Down syndrome LR+for complicated ARSA was 49.6.Conclusions:Complicated ARSA is often associated with cardiovascular abnormalities and is more likely to develop Down syndrome than isolated ARSA.Although the inci-dence of pCNV in isolated ARSA is slightly higher than the natural incidence,the correlation between pCNV and i-solated ARSA has not been clearly determined by the current sample size.

Objective:To search, evaluate, and summarize evidence regarding strategies to promote pelvic floor muscle contraction (PFMC) function in postpartum women, providing a basis for clinical practice.Methods:A comprehensive search was conducted in computer decision support systems, guideline websites, relevant professional association websites, and English and Chinese databases for evidence related to strategies to promote PFMC function in postpartum women.

Objective To analyze temporal trends in infectious disease burden among Chinese elderly(≥60 years)using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study(GBD 2021),evaluate age-period-cohort effects on disease burden,predict trends through 2045,and propose evidence-based medication management strategies.Methods We conducted a threefold analysis of infectious disease burden from 1990 to 2021 using Joinpoint regression to identify temporal trends,Age-Period-Cohort(APC)modeling to disentangle epidemiological effects,and Nordpred projections for 2045 disease burden estimates.Results Over 32 years,all infectious disease categories except HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted infections demonstrated significant declines.Enteric infections showed the most rapid reductions in mortality(AAPC=-7.85,P﹤0.001)and disability-adjusted life year rates(DALYR;AAPC=-7.18,P﹤0.001).We also found a significant decrease in the incidence of tropical diseases and malaria(AAPC=-6.77,P﹤0.001).APC analysis found that the age effect was mostly negative in terms of the annual percentage change in mortality and DALYR for each disease,except for HIV/AIDS,with an overall decline in period risk over time,and a generally higher risk of morbidity and mortality for the early birth cohort,and an overall decline in the risk of each disease as the year of birth progressed,but the risk of HIV/AIDS death and DALY period and cohort risks trended upward.While the overall risk for certain diseases was slightly higher in males compared to females,the trends were largely consistent across both sexes.In terms of projections,the absolute prevalence of respiratory infections and tuberculosis in terms of number of cases and age-standardized rates,and the growth of the disease burden of HIV/AIDS were particularly prominent,making them important health challenges for the future.The burden of disease in the elderly often results in issues such as potential polypharmacy,which must be addressed to improve medication management.Conclusions China has achieved remarkable progress in reducing infectious disease burdens among older adults,though HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted infections present an escalating public health threat.These findings advocate for enhanced surveillance systems,age-specific prevention strategies,and precision medication protocols to optimize therapeutic outcomes in geriatric populations.

Purpose To explore the diagnostic efficacy of texture analysis in grading multiple ligament injuries of the knee Joint.Materials and Methods MRI images of 203 patients with knee injuries in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University School of Medicine from June 2018 to September 2020 were retrospectively collected,and then graded the injuries of multiple ligaments.Extraction of texture features and discriminant analysis were accomplished by MaZda software.Spearman correlation analysis and LASSO penalized Logistic regression analysis were used to further explore the differential diagnostic efficacy of each texture parameter for grading knee ligament injuries.Results(1)MaZda software was found to have the highest diagnostic efficacy for patellar ligament injury grading by using different texture feature screening methods in combination with discriminant analysis.Non-linear discriminant analysis had the lowest misclassification rate of 4.43%.(2)The texture parameters that were ultimately included in the analysis of the subjects'work characteristic curves appeared more frequently in the gray level co-occurrence matrix and the run length matrix.(3)The area under the curve of the texture parameters finally included in the analysis were 0.870-0.975,0.772-0.912,0.836-0.929 and 0.766-0.920,respectively in patellar ligament,anterior cruciate ligament,posterior cruciate ligament and lateral collateral ligament for the diagnosis of knee ligament injury grading.The diagnostic efficacy for patellar ligament injury grading was the highest,which was consistent with the lowest misclassification rate for patellar ligament in the discriminant analysis of texture features.And the texture parameters ultimately included in patellar ligament were all highly correlated with its injury grading.Conclusion The texture analysis technique has high diagnostic efficacy for grading knee ligament injuries,and can provide a more accurate diagnostic imaging basis for the clinic.
