OBJECTIVE To establish a full-cycle management model for type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） patients led by clinical pharmacists. METHODS Based on literature research， a basic framework and items of full-cycle management model led by clinical pharmacists were initially formulated. The Delphi method was adopted to conduct questionnaire inquiries among 26 experts to determine the specific implementation items of the model. The analytic hierarchy process （AHP） method was used to determine the weight values of items at all levels， and the reliability and validity of the model items were analyzed. RESULTS The recovery rates of the two rounds of expert consultation questionnaires were 86.67% and 100%， respectively， and the expert authority coefficient was 0.88. Kendall’s concordance coefficients of the tertiary-level items were 0.064 and 0.084， respectively， and the P values from the χ 2 tests were all less than 0.05； the consistent ratios of the judgment matrices for all levels of AHP model were all less than 0.1. The established full-cycle management led by clinical pharmacists comprised three primary-level items （pharmacy service pathway for T2DM patients during hospitalization， pharmacy management pathway for hypoglycemia in T2DM inpatients， and the pharmacy follow-up pathway for T2DM discharged patients， with weights of 0.098， 0.568 and 0.334， respectively）， twelve secondary-level items （e.g. pharmaceutical care during hospitalization for 1 to 2 days， admission assessment and education， with weights ranging from 0.143 to 0.333） and thirty-seven tertiary-level items （e.g. assessment of medication compliance， verification of the medication plan for discharge， with weights ranging from 0.068 to 0.750）. Cronbach’s α coefficients for primary-level items and the overall questionnaire were 0.762， 0.879， 0.928 and 0.951， respectively. The item-level and scale-level content validity indexes were 0.967 and 0.808， respectively. CONCLUSIONS A full-cycle management model for T2DM patients led by clinical pharmacists has been constructed successfully， demonstrating high scientificity and reliability.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a common head and neck malignancy. Approximately 50% to 60% of patients with OSCC are diagnosed at a locally advanced stage (clinical staging III-IVa). Even with comprehensive and sequential treatment primarily based on surgery, the 5-year overall survival rate remains below 50%, and patients often suffer from postoperative functional impairments such as difficulties with speaking and swallowing. Programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) inhibitors are increasingly used in the neoadjuvant treatment of locally advanced OSCC and have shown encouraging efficacy. However, clinical practice still faces key challenges, including the definition of indications, optimization of combination regimens, and standards for efficacy evaluation. Based on the latest research advances worldwide and the clinical experience of the expert group, this expert consensus systematically evaluates the application of PD-1 inhibitors in the neoadjuvant treatment of locally advanced OSCC, covering combination strategies, treatment cycles and surgical timing, efficacy assessment, use of biomarkers, management of special populations and immune related adverse events, principles for immunotherapy rechallenge, and function preservation strategies. After multiple rounds of panel discussion and through anonymous voting using the Delphi method, the following consensus statements have been formulated: 1) Neoadjuvant therapy with PD-1 inhibitors can be used preoperatively in patients with locally advanced OSCC. The preferred regimen is a PD-1 inhibitor combined with platinum based chemotherapy, administered for 2-3 cycles. 2) During the efficacy evaluation of neoadjuvant therapy, radiographic assessment should follow the dual criteria of Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 and immune RECIST (iRECIST). After surgery, systematic pathological evaluation of both the primary lesion and regional lymph nodes is required. For combination chemotherapy regimens, PD-L1 expression and combined positive score need not be used as mandatory inclusion or exclusion criteria. 3) For special populations such as the elderly (≥ 70 years), individuals with stable HIV viral load, and carriers of chronic HBV/HCV, PD-1 inhibitors may be used cautiously under the guidance of a multidisciplinary team (MDT), with close monitoring for adverse events. 4) For patients with a poor response to neoadjuvant therapy, continuation of the original treatment regimen is not recommended; the subsequent treatment plan should be adjusted promptly after MDT assessment. Organ transplant recipients and patients with active autoimmune diseases are not recommended to receive neoadjuvant PD-1 inhibitor therapy due to the high risk of immune related activation. Rechallenge is generally not advised for patients who have experienced high risk immune related adverse events such as immune mediated myocarditis, neurotoxicity, or pneumonitis. 5) For patients with a good pathological response, individualized de escalation surgery and function preservation strategies can be explored. This consensus aims to promote the standardized, safe, and precise application of neoadjuvant PD-1 inhibitor strategies in the management of locally advanced OSCC patients.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between acne vulgaris and gut microbiota. MethodsA total of 29 clinical cases diagnosed with moderate-to-severe acne vulgaris and 26 healthy individuals as control subjects were recruited. Fecal specimens were collected from all participants， and further analysis of gut microbial communities was performed by leveraging high-throughput sequencing techniques that target the hypervariable regions of 16S rRNA genes. ResultsAssociations between acne vulgaris and alterations in gut microbiota were identified. At the phylum level， the relative abundance of Bacteroidota exhibited a statistically significant elevation in the acne vulgaris cohort when compared with the healthy control group （P<0.01）， while Cyanobacteria was significantly lower in the acne group （P<0.01）. At the genus level， the top five different bacterial taxa in both groups were Bacteroides， Escherichia⁃Shigella， Klebsiella， Roseburia， and Parabacteroides. Among them， Bacteroides， Roseburia， and Parabacteroides were more abundant in acne patients. Linear discriminant analysis identified five biomarkers all belonging to the Bacteroidota phylum in the acne and control groups. These biomarkers belong to the phylum Bacteroidetes. ConclusionThere are significant differences in the composition of intestinal microbiota between acne patients and healthy people. Changes in the richness of specific bacterial genera may become new targets for the diagnosis and treatment of acne.

[Objective] To compare the clinical efficacy of super pulse thulium laser enucleation of the prostate (SPThuLEP) with "open tunnel" and transurethral holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), in order to provide reference for the treatment options of BPH. [Methods] The clinical data of 112 BPH patients treated in our hospital during Jan.2023 and Jul.2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 65 treated with SPThuLEP with "open tunnel" and 57 with HoLEP.The operation time, postoperative hemoglobin decrease, postoperative bladder irrigation, catheter indwelling time, hospitalization time and complications were compared between the two groups.The changes of maximum urine flow rate (Qmax), international prostate symptom score (IPSS), quality of life score (QoL), postvoid residual (PVR) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) were compared between the two groups before operation and one month after operation. [Results] All operations were successful without conversion to open or transurethral plasmakinetic resection.The postoperative decrease of hemoglobin in SPThuLEP group was lower than that in HoLEP group [(13.12±6.72) g/L vs. (21.02±6.51) g/L], with statistical difference (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the operation time [(63.35±15.73) min vs.(61.02±17.55) min], postoperative bladder irrigation time [(1.07±0.45) d vs. (1.06±0.36) d], catheter indwelling time [(2.98±0.56) d vs. (3.01±0.63) d] and hospitalization time [(3.63±0.61) d vs.(3.79±0.76) d] between the two groups (P>0.05). No blood transfusion, secondary bleeding or unplanned hospitalization occurred, and there were no serious complications such as transurethral electroresection syndrome (TURS), urethral stricture and urinary incontinence.One month after operation, the Qmax, IPSS, QoL, PVR and PSA of the two groups were significantly improved compared with those before operation (P<0.05), but with no statistical difference between the two groups (P>0.05). [Conclusion] SPThuLEP with "open tunnel" has comparable efficacy as HoLEP in the treatment of BPH.With advantages of small amount of bleeding and high safety, this minimally invasive technique can be widely popularized in clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE To provide reference for the establishment and improvement of the regulatory system of patients’ medicine instructions in China. METHODS Through searching the official website of the European Medicines Agency （EMA） and related literature， the definition， basic nature， and content of patients’ medicine instructions in the European Union were introduced， and the characteristics of the management system of patients’ medicine instructions in the European Union were analyzed in terms of the management department， approval and change procedures， readability requirements and information accessibility requirements. At the same time， the pilot situation of patients’ medicine instructions in China， as well as problems in the paths of classification and management， readability of content， and information timeliness were analyzed to put forward suggestions. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS European Union had a dedicated department for the management of medicine instructions； the approval and change procedures for patients’ medicine instructions were clear， the readability requirements were detailed， the readability verification program with patient participation was established， and multi-channel and timely information disclosure was adopted. It is recommended that China establish a mechanism to categorize and manage professionals’ and patients’ medicine instructions， guide multiple parties to participate in the design of patients’ medicine instructions and refine the readability requirements， and improve the mechanism for disclosure of medicine instructions to enhance the timeliness of medication information.

Methods: Motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) and somatosensory-evoked potentials (SEPs) were recorded in 48 patients with TOLF (hybrid 20 vs. en bloc 28) during surgery. Patients were categorized based on MEP/SEP improvement, deterioration, or no change, and MEP/SEP improvement rates were measured in the improvement group. Furthermore, all patients were assessed using the Ashworth and modified Japanese Orthopedic Association scores. Results: The incidences of both MEP/SEP improvement (21.4% vs. 25.0%, p=0.772) and deterioration (21.4% vs. 20.0%, p=0.904) were similar between the en bloc and hybrid laminectomy groups, and no difference in preoperative and postoperative clinical assessments was observed between the two groups (p>0.05). In four patients (4/28, 14.3%) undergoing en bloc laminectomy, MEP amplitudes initially increased after OLF removal but gradually decreased. This delayed MEP reduction did not occur in the hybrid laminectomy group. Furthermore, more patients undergoing en bloc laminectomy had CFL than those undergoing hybrid laminectomy (46.4% vs. 15.0%, p=0.023). In the improvement group, the hybrid laminectomy group exhibited higher MEP improvement rates in the bilateral abductor hallucis than the en bloc laminectomy group (left side: 213.4%±35.9% vs. 152.5%±41.0%, p=0.028; right side: 201.2%±32.0% vs. 145.2%±46.3%, p=0.043). Conclusions Compared with en bloc laminectomy, hybrid laminectomy may be a safe and effective method for treating multilevel TOLF, potentially reducing intraoperative spinal cord irritation and CFL and causing relatively better functional recovery.

BACKGROUND:The biomechanical analysis of scoliosis cases is limited,with only independent analysis focusing on the spine or lower limbs,thus lacking a comprehensive evaluation of the multidimensional body.As a result,it becomes challenging to reflect the movement relationship between the trunk and lower limbs during daily activities,which hinders comprehensive clinical treatment guidance. OBJECTIVE:To explore the relationship between different segments of the spine and the kinematics/kinetics of the lower limbs during gait activities by measuring spinal kinematics in scoliosis patients,to provide a comprehensive and multi-level assessment of the biomechanical differences between scoliosis patients and the normal population,consequently offering evidence-based guidance for the prevention and treatment of scoliosis. METHODS:A cross-sectional study was conducted from July 2020 to June 2021 at the Rehabilitation Hospital Affiliated to Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Fuzhou University City.A total of 28 scoliosis patients and 28 normal individuals in the same age group were included.Three-dimensional motion capture system was used to capture gait kinematic data at a sampling frequency of 100 Hz.Two force plates(AMTI 400600,sampling frequency 1 500 Hz)were embedded in a 10-meter-long 2.4-meter-wide level ground walkway(with an effective data collection length of 4 m)to collect kinetic data.The differences in spatial-temporal parameters,kinematics,and kinetics of gait between the two groups were compared.Immediately after inclusion,all subjects underwent full spinal X-ray measurements to compare the differences between the scoliosis and normal groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Patients with scoliosis exhibited reduced relative rotational range of motion between the shoulder and trunk,as well as between the thorax and pelvis,compared to the normal group(P<0.05).However,the rotational range of motion in the pelvis was larger in patients with scoliosis compared to the normal group(P<0.05).(2)Patients with scoliosis showed decreased range of motion in the hip and knee joints,as well as reduced peak torque in hip joint flexion and extension,and lower peak values of ground reaction forces in the concave and convex directions,in comparison to the normal group(P<0.05).(3)Patients with scoliosis demonstrated greater asymmetry indices in knee joint range of motion,relative rotational range of motion between the shoulder and trunk,and between the thorax and pelvis,when compared to the normal group(P<0.05).(4)These findings illustrate a rigid movement pattern among the shoulder,thorax,and pelvis in patients with scoliosis during level walking.There is a reduction in range of motion in the hip and knee joints,as well as decreased peak torque values in hip joint flexion and extension,and ground reaction forces in the concave and convex directions.These characteristics can serve as foundational elements for assessing rehabilitation and developing treatment plans.

BACKGROUND:Currently,the pre-dilatation balloons used in clinical coronary intervention are mainly the traditional high-pressure balloon and papillary balloon.They may slip off in the diseased vessel and then bruise the vessel. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the new coronary rotary scoring balloon in vasodilatation. METHODS:(1)Finite element analysis:The three-dimensional finite element model of blood vessel was established by collecting relevant human tissue data,and then the three-dimensional finite element model of papillary balloon implantation in blood vessel and the three-dimensional finite element model of rotary scored balloon implantation in blood vessel were established to analyze the vascular stress,vascular displacement,balloon stress and balloon displacement during balloon expansion under different aeration pressures.(2)Animal experiments:Eight New Zealand rabbits with large ears were randomly divided into two groups,and the papillary balloon and rotary scored balloon were implanted in the iliac artery for expansion,with four rabbits in each group.After the balloon was withdrawn,samples were taken.Hematoxylin-eosin staining and transmission electron microscopy were used to observe the vascular injury. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Finite element analysis:There was no significant difference in the elastic properties of the two types of balloon.Under the same aeration pressure,the vascular stress,vascular displacement,balloon stress,and balloon displacement of the papillary balloon group were much greater than those of the rotary scored balloon group,and the uniformity of each index was better than that of the rotary scored balloon group.With the increase of inflatable pressure,the increase of blood vessel stress,blood vessel displacement,balloon stress and balloon displacement in the papillary balloon group was much greater than that in the rotary scored balloon group.(2)Animal experiments:Hematoxylin-eosin staining and transmission electron microscope observation showed that the vascular damage caused by rotary scored balloon expansion was limited to the intima,while the vascular damage caused by papillary balloon expansion was more serious,and the intima and media were seriously damaged.Hematoma formation could be seen in some segments;more inflammatory cells were found around the blood vessels,and local macrophage accumulation could be seen.(3)The results show that compared with papillary balloon dilatation,the risk of vascular occlusion and dissection caused by rotary scored balloon dilatation was less,but there was a certain probability of balloon bending.

Pancreatic cancer is characterized by nerve invasion and a high mortality rate， and its pathological process depends on the complex interaction network between tumor and the nervous system. Based on the concept of “pancreatic cancer neuroecology”， this article analyzes the mechanism of action of peripheral motor nerve， sensory nerve， and central nerve in tumorigenesis， pain regulation， and cachexia formation and emphasizes the synergistic regulatory role of immune cells， Schwann cells， and extracellular matrix in the microenvironment of perineural invasion. At the same time， this article further elaborates on the metabolic interaction and chemotaxis between neuraxis and tumor， the effect on promoting chemotherapy resistance， and the dynamic relationship between neuroplasticity and tumor adaptability. In clinical practice， this article summarizes the key value of perineural invasion in prognostic evaluation， preoperative evaluation， and the selection of surgical strategy. In addition， this article reviews the basic research advances in the biomarkers and potential targets associated with perineural invasion in pancreatic cancer and points out the limitations of current model and transformation research. In the future， systematically analyzing the nerve-tumor-immune network and targeting its key nodes may provide multi-dimensional strategies and new breakthroughs for the precise intervention of pancreatic cancer， the reversal of drug resistance， and the relief of symptoms.

Objective To analyze the characteristics of nystagmus during the Dix-Hallpike and Roll tests in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) using three-dimensional videonystagmography (3D-VNG), in order to to optimize diagnostic and therapeutic strategies of BPPV. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 68 patients with posterior semicircular canal (PSC)-BPPV and 26 patients with horizontal semicircular canal (HSC)-BPPV. Nystagmus data obtained from 3D-VNG were reviewed for all patients, with a focus on the eye movement components during the Dix-Hallpike test in PSC-BPPV patients and the Roll test in HSC-BPPV patients. The direction and reversal rates of the vertical, horizontal, and torsional components were recorded and analyzed. Results All PSC-BPPV patients exhibited highly consistent three-dimensional nystagmus characteristics during the Dix-Hallpike test: vertical nystagmus was uniformly upward, torsional nystagmus was predominantly clockwise in left-side BPPV patients (17/23) and counterclockwise in right-side BPPV patients (44/45), while the horizontal component was mostly directed contralaterally (50/68); upon transitioning from the head-hanging to the sit-up position, vertical nystagmus components in all patients reversed, and torsional and horizontal nystagmus components reversed in approximately 50.0% or more patients. Among HSC-BPPV patients, right-side BPPV patients all showed right-beating (geotropic) horizontal nystagmus with predominantly upward vertical component (16/19), while most left-side BPPV patients showed left-beating horizontal nystagmus (6/7) with predominantly downward vertical component (6/7). During head rotation toward the healthy side, most (25/26) HSC-BPPV patients exhibited a reversal in the horizontal nystagmus direction, reduced intensity compared to the affected side, with a reversal in vertical components in 3 patients, and atypical torsional components. Conclusions 3D-VNG could precisely quantitative analyze three-dimensional features of nystagmus in BPPV patients, improve diagnostic accuracy in canal and side localization, particularly in PSC-BPPV patients.
