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.
3.Advances in the effects of ocular surgeries and procedures on the choroidal vascularity index
International Eye Science 2026;26(8):1388-1393
The choroidal vascularity index(CVI)is a quantitative structural parameter derived from optical coherence tomography(OCT)images. It is defined as the ratio of the luminal area to the total choroidal area, which characterizes alterations in the structural proportion between choroidal vascular lumens and stroma, and indirectly indicates changes in choroidal status to a certain extent. With the development of enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography(EDI-OCT), CVI has been increasingly applied in ophthalmic research and clinical practice.Measurements of CVI exhibit excellent repeatability and reliability. Combined with the noninvasive nature of EDI-OCT, CVI is an extremely valuable assessment tool for clinical ophthalmic research and routine clinical practice. CVI can quantify proportional changes between the choroidal luminal area and total choroidal area, and better reflects relative variations in choroidal vascular and stromal components compared with choroidal thickness alone. In recent years, CVI has been widely applied to multiple ocular diseases including age-related macular degeneration(ARMD), central serous chorioretinopathy(CSC), diabetic retinopathy(DR), and high myopia. In addition to the diseases themselves, various ocular surgeries and procedures can also affect CVI. Current evidence suggests that changes in CVI may be associated with factors such as postoperative inflammatory response, choroidal hemodynamic alterations, vascular permeability changes, and intraocular pressure fluctuations. However, discrepancies remain among studies regarding the direction and duration of these changes and their relationship with visual outcomes. This review summarizes the effects of ocular surgeries and procedures on CVI and further discusses its clinical interpretation, existing controversies, and future research directions, aiming to provide a reference for perioperative assessment of choroidal structural changes and prognostic evaluation.

Pulpotomy, which belongs to vital pulp therapy, has become a strategy for managing pulpitis in recent decades. This minimally invasive treatment reflects the recognition of preserving healthy dental pulp and optimizing long-term patient-centered outcomes. Pulpotomy is categorized into partial pulpotomy (PP), the removal of a partial segment of the coronal pulp tissue, and full pulpotomy (FP), the removal of whole coronal pulp, which is followed by applying the biomaterials onto the remaining pulp tissue and ultimately restoring the tooth. Procedural decisions for the amount of pulp tissue removal or retention depend on the diagnostic of pulp vitality, the overall treatment plan, the patient's general health status, and pulp inflammation reassessment during operation. This statement represents the consensus of an expert committee convened by the Society of Cariology and Endodontics, Chinese Stomatological Association. It addresses the current evidence to support the application of pulpotomy as a potential alternative to root canal treatment (RCT) on mature permanent teeth with pulpitis from a biological basis, the development of capping biomaterial, and the diagnostic considerations to evidence-based medicine. This expert statement intends to provide a clinical protocol of pulpotomy, which facilitates practitioners in choosing the optimal procedure and increasing their confidence in this rapidly evolving field.
