Radiotherapy is a crucial treatment modality for head and neck tumors. However, while effectively killing tumor cells, it significantly disrupts the homeostasis of the oral microecology, which is closely associated with various complications such as radiation-induced oral mucositis. Literature review indicates that as radiotherapy doses accumulate and treatment durations extend, the richness and diversity of the oral microbiota show a declining trend, with the genus Streptococcus decreasing most markedly. In contrast, radiotherapy selectively promotes the proliferation of bacterial phyla such as Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes, which are rich in opportunistic pathogens. Mechanistically, radiotherapy activates the nuclear factor-kappa B pathway, triggering chronic inflammation and oxidative stress, damaging the epithelial barrier, suppressing local immunity, and causing damage to organs such as the salivary glands. It can also induce systemic diseases via the oral-gut axis, forming a multi-level, interconnected pathogenic network. In terms of interventions, treatment strategies including probiotics and prebiotics have shown promising efficacy against side effects such as radiation-induced oral mucositis. Saliva-based oral microbiota transplantation is an emerging strategy that is expected to become widely utilized for restoring oral microecological balance. Existing interventions provide preliminary pathways for clinical practice, but this field still faces several key scientific questions. The association between oral microecology and systemic diseases remains largely correlative, lacking causal evidence. Furthermore, critical parameters for oral microbiota transplantation, such as donor screening criteria, transplantation protocols, and long-term safety, are not yet well-defined. Therefore, future research should focus on conducting large-scale clinical trials to establish standardized protocols and safety evaluation systems for oral microecological interventions, and explore combined treatment therapies such as probiotics, prebiotics, and microbiota transplantation to advance the development of personalized precision modulation. These will enable more effective management of radiotherapy-induced oral microecological dysbiosis and improve treatment outcomes and quality of life for patients with head and neck tumors.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of cerebellar intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) on postural control and fall risk in stroke patients. MethodsFrom October, 2024 to August, 2025, 45 stroke patients were recruited from Huadong Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University. They were randomly divided into control group (n = 15), group A (n = 15) and group B (n = 15). All the groups received conventional medication and rehabilitation. Group A was additionally administered iTBS over the ipsilesional primary motor cortex (M1), while group B received iTBS over the contralesional cerebellum, for three weeks. Before and after intervention, postural stability indexes (eyes open/closed), limits of stability, directional control score and reaction time were measured using Biodex Balance System, and they were assessed with Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed Up & Go Test (TUGT) and 10-meter walk test (10MWT). ResultsAfter intervention, significant group-time interaction effects were observed for eyes open/closed postural stability indexes, limits of stability, directional control score, reaction time, BBS score, TUGT and 10MWT (F > 23.487, P < 0.001). All the groups improved in all the indexes after intervention (P < 0.01). The eyes open/closed postural stability indexes, limits of stability, directional control score and reaction time were the best in group B, followed by group A, and the worst in the control group (P < 0.05), while BBS, TUGT and 10MWT were better in groups A and B than in the control group (P < 0.05). ConclusionCerebellar iTBS can effectively improve postural control disorders and reduce fall risk in stroke patients, and may be superior to M1 iTBS.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of pelvic floor biofeedback combined with electroacupuncture therapy in the treatment of chronic pelvic floor pain syndrome (CPPS).Methods:Ninety CPPS patients admitted to the Dongguan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated to Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from August 2022 to July 2023 were selected prospectively, and they were divided into two groups by random number table method, each group with 45 cases. The control group received pelvic floor biofeedback treatment alone, while the observation group received pelvic floor biofeedback combined with electroacupuncture treatment. The two groups were treated once a day, 10 times as a course of treatment. After two courses of treatment, the clinical efficacy, pain degree before and after treatment, inflammatory factor levels, SF-36 health questionnaire (SF-36) scores, pelvic floor surface myoelectric parameters, and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results:The total effective rate in the observation group after treatment was higher than that in the control group: 95.56% (43/45) vs. 75.56% (34/45), there was statistical difference ( χ2 = 7.28, P<0.05). After treatment, the visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, levels of procalcitonin (PCT), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in the two groups were decreased, and SF-36 scores were increased, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05); the VAS scores, PCT, IL-6 and CRP levels in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and SF-36 scores was higher than that in the control group: (2.11 ± 0.24) scores vs. (2.87 ± 0.34) scores, (0.92 ± 0.08) ng/L vs. (1.26 ± 0.09) ng/L, (24.08 ± 2.52) μg/L vs. (28.49 ± 3.10) μg/L, (4.55 ± 0.51) mg/L vs. (6.06 ± 0.63) mg/L, (74.55 ± 7.29) scores vs. (70.18 ± 7.80) scores, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). After treatment, the surface muscle potential of pelvic floor muscle were increased in the front resting stage, rapid contraction stage, tension contraction stage, endurance contraction stage and post-resting stage, and the above parameters in the observation group were higher than those in the control group: (3.56 ± 0.34)μV vs.(3.20 ± 0.37) μV, (35.26 ± 3.05) μV vs. (31.47 ± 3.08) μV, (34.22 ± 3.25) μV vs. (31.15 ± 3.01)μV, (29.77 ± 3.17) μV vs. (27.04 ± 2.68) μV, (3.21 ± 0.27) μV vs. (3.00 ± 0.34) μV, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The incidence rate of adverse reactions in the two groups had no statistical difference ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Pelvic floor biofeedback combined with electroacupuncture in the treatment of CPPS has good clinical effect, and can relief pain response, regulate the inflammatory response and pelvic floor function, and have high safety.
