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.

Objective: To investigate the preventive and reparative mechanisms of platelet-rich plasma-biodegradable quick setting spray (PRP-BQSS) on solar dermatitis, thereby providing a safe and effective novel therapeutic approach for clinical application. Methods: PRP-BQSS was prepared. A ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced solar dermatitismodel was established in SPF-grade male SD rats. The rats were divided into the prevention experiment (treated with PRP-BQSS, L' Oréal SPF 50+sunscreen, Nature's Hall SPF 50+sunscreen, or saline) and the treatment experiment (treated with PRP-BQSS, Jingwanhong ointment, Green ointment, or saline). The effects were evaluated by measuring epidermal thickness (HE staining) and quantifying the integrated optical density (IOD) of inflammatory cells (CD11b staining). One-way ANOVA and Tukey's HSD test were performed using GraphPad Prism 9.4.0. Results: The PRP-BQSS exhibited significant efficacy in both prevention and repair. In the prevention experiment, the PRP-BQSS prevention group (Group A) showed only mild pale red erythema on the dorsal skin of rats, without significant swelling or desquamation. Histological analysis revealed that epidermal thickness in Group A (36.55±6.58 μm) was comparable to Groups B (L' Oréal, 34.84±6.59 μm) and C (Natural Hall, 34.59±8.20 μm)(P>0.05), but significantly lower than that in Group D (control group, 47.82±11.69 μm). Skin sections from Group A demonstrated intact epidermal structure with clear stratification and no significant inflammatory cell infiltration. The CD11b-positive cell count (24.30±7.43) was significantly lower than that in Group D (33.65±8.47, P<0.05). In the treatment experiment, HE staining of Group A (PRP-BQSS treatment group) showed intact epidermal structure with orderly arrangement of the basal layer, spinous layer, and granular layer, thin and uniform stratum corneum, and regular collagen fiber arrangement. The epidermal thickness of Group A (37.10±6.41 μm) showed no significant difference from Groups B (Jingwanhong ointment group, 38.66±9.07 μm) or C (Green ointment group, 35.72±4.98 μm)(P>0.05), but was significantly lower than that in Group D (control group, 48.35±8.99 μm)(P<0.05). The integral optical density value of CD11b-positive cells in Group A (32.82±11.01) was significantly lower than that in Group D (47.25±13.52, P>0.05). Moreover, the degree of inflammatory infiltration in Group A was relatively lower compared to Group B (37.14±9.20) and Group C (34.32±16.87), suggesting a superior repair capacity. However, the intergroup differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion: PRP-BQSS hydrogel dressing possesses dual preventive and reparative functions. It exerts its effects by reducing CD11b-positive cell infiltration (inflammation suppression) and promoting the orderly arrangement of the basal layer-epidermal layer-granular layer (epidermal reconstruction). This material holds promise as a novel and effective therapeutic approach for the prevention and treatment of solar dermatitis, particularly suitable for high-risk populations such as children, individuals with sensitive skin, and those engaged in outdoor activities.

Despite significant advances in the field of critical care medicine over the past three decades, veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) remains the primary temporary mechanical circulatory support modality for patients with acute severe circulatory failure. With the accumulation of clinical experience and the increasing maturity of operational techniques in V-A ECMO, its technical management—particularly hemodynamic management—has become a key factor influencing patient outcomes. To further improve patient survival, the Chinese Critical Care Ultrasound Study Group, in collaboration with the Hemodynamic Therapy of Critical Care Collaborative Group and the Critical Care Medicine Branch of the China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, organized experts in critical care medicine to develop the Consensus on Hemodynamic Management in Adult Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (2026 Edition). Based on years of clinical experience and the latest evidence-based medical evidence, this consensus formulates 15 systematic recommendations covering the entire process of V-A ECMO, including initiation, management during support, and weaning, aiming to promote standardized application of hemodynamic management in V-A ECMO.

With the continuous deepening of the concept of precision diagnosis and treatment for lung cancer, how to achieve higher efficiency and accuracy in the screening, diagnosis, and treatment pathways in clinical practice has become an important issue that urgently needs to be overcome. The current clinical difficulty lies in the fact that despite continuous advancements in imaging and molecular diagnostic technologies, there are still limitations in manual efficiency and subjective experience when it comes to massive data analysis and multi-scale feature extraction. Artificial intelligence (AI), especially algorithm systems based on deep learning, is an innovative technology capable of deeply empowering medical big data. This method utilizes algorithms such as convolutional neural networks, combined with radiomics, pathomics, and multi-modal data fusion analysis, demonstrating immense potential in early precise detection and benign-malignant differentiation of pulmonary nodules, digital pathological subtype recognition and non-invasive prediction of driver genes, precise 3D surgical planning and automatic delineation of radiotherapy target volumes, as well as dynamic risk warning during follow-up. This innovative technology provides a brand-new solution for realizing intelligent and individualized lung cancer diagnosis and treatment models. This consensus, based on the latest evidence from evidence-based medicine and combined with the development trends in the AI field and real-world clinical needs, was ultimately formed by gathering the consensus opinions of multidisciplinary experts in radiology, pathology, thoracic surgery, and other fields. The main content covers the application specifications of AI in the three core scenarios of lung cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment, the technical standards for data collection and algorithm validation, as well as the ethical and regulatory challenges faced at the current stage. It aims to clarify the applicable boundaries of AI as a clinical auxiliary decision support tool, providing scientific guidance and standardized exploration directions for peers currently engaged in or planning to carry out AI-assisted clinical diagnosis, treatment, and translation of lung cancer.

Objective: To analyze the structural changes in whole blood and apheresis platelet donations in Chinese Society of Blood Transfusion (CSBT) sentinel units from 2021 to 2025, and to provide evidence for donor recruitment and blood service management. Methods: Aggregated data reported by sentinel sites were collected and stratified according to six indicators: age, sex, donation history, donation volume, donation site, and organization mode. Pearson χ test, Cramer′V coefficient, Cochran-Armitage trend test and simple linear regression were adopted for analysis. Results: A total of 16 256 973 whole blood donations and 1 576 546 apheresis platelet donations were included. Among whole-blood donations, the proportion of donors aged 18-22 years decreased from 27.30% to 10.60%. The proportion of male donors increased from 58.81% to 63.13%; the proportion of people aged 30 and above increased from 58.40% to 75.30%; the proportion of fixed locations rose from 28.37% to 36.57%; the proportion of social groups increased from 21.69% to 39.69%. The 400-mL donations decreased from 62.12% to 53.46%, while individually initiated voluntary donations remained above 50%. Apheresis platelet donations were predominantly from males, individuals aged 30-39 years, and repeat donors; 2-treatment-unit apheresis platelet donations increased from 67.19% to 74.93%, and individually initiated donations accounted for 92.97%-96.02%. Statistically significant overall annual compositional differences were observed for all six indicators (all P<0.001), whereas linear trends for some sub-categories were not statistically significant. Conclusion: In the participating CSBT sentinel units, among whole blood donations, the proportions of donors aged 18-22 years, university-organized group donations, and donations at blood mobiles decreased, whereas the proportions of organizational group donations and donations at fixed venues increased. The apheresis platelet donation cohort is relatively mature and is evolving toward a high-efficiency donation model. Individual voluntary donation remains the primary organization mode for both donation types. Strategies such as youth donor recruitment, optimized layout of fixed donation sites, and retention of repeat donors should be strengthened to improve the resilience of blood supply.

ObjectiveTo compare the differences between clinical and environmental sources of Acinetobacter baumannii （AB） at a tertiary hospital in Guangzhou in terms of molecular epidemiological characteristics， antimicrobial resistance， disinfectant tolerance， virulence and the distribution of related genes， as well as plasmid epidemiological characteristics； and to assess the association between environmental and clinical strains and the potential transmission risks associated with environmental contamination. MethodsA total of 118 clinical and 102 environmental AB isolates were collected from a tertiary hospital in Guangzhou between 2024 and 2025. Species identification was performed using mass spectrometry and 16S rRNA sequencing； minimum inhibitory concentrations （MICs） for eight antimicrobial agents were determined using the agar dilution method； biofilm formation capacity was assessed using the crystal violet staining method； A Galleria mellonella infection model was used to evaluate the virulence； whole-genome sequencing was employed for multilocus sequence typing （MLST）， phylogenetic analysis， and studies on the distribution of resistance， disinfectant resistance and virulence genes， and plasmid screening. ResultsA total of 38 known ST types were identified among the 220 AB strains， with ST2 and ST40 being the predominant lineages. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing revealed that the clinical infection group exhibited resistance to minocycline， imipenem and other antibiotics， as well as the tolerance levels to the disinfectants triclosan and benzalkonium bromide， were generally higher than those in the environmental group （P＜0.001）， and the detection rates of drug resistance genes such as bla_OXA-23 and adeB all exceeded 70.0%. Statistical analysis confirmed that the MIC values of TCS and BAB were significantly positively correlated with various antibiotic resistance phenotypes （P＜0.05）. In biofilm experiments， the proportion of strong biofilm-forming strains in the environmental group （64.7%） was significantly higher than that in the clinical infection group （11.9%；χ²=69.06， df=2， P＜0.000 1）， and the mortality rate of the strains increased with enhanced biofilm-forming ability. Furthermore， a total of 41 plasmid lineages and 219 insertion sequences were detected； ISs such as IS1006 and IS1007 were frequently co-occurring with resistance and virulence genes including bla_OXA-23 and katA. ConclusionsThe predominant lineages of AB in this tertiary hospital were ST2 and ST40. The clinical infection group generally exhibits higher levels of antibiotic resistance and tolerance to disinfectants compared to the environmental group， while biofilm-forming ability differs ： the environmental group dominates in strong biofilm formation， and the clinical group dominates in weak to moderate biofilm formation. Plasmids and ISs may be involved in the co-occurrence and dissemination control strategies and for the molecular epidemiological surveillance of multidrug-resistant bacteria.

Objective To propose a framework for risk assessment and stepwise management of pulmonary nodules based on existing guidelines and key studies, and to clarify the boundaries for triage, workup escalation, and referral in different detection scenarios. Methods A problem-oriented evidence synthesis approach was used, prioritizing Chinese expert consensus, Fleischner Society Guidelines, British Thoracic Society (BTS) Guidelines, and Lung-RADS. This was supplemented by studies on risk models, imaging measurements, liquid biopsy, tissue sampling, and surgical treatments. This paper is not presented as a formal consensus or a validated clinical pathway. Results A three-tiered framework consisting of basic non-invasive assessment, advanced assessment, and invasive diagnosis was established. It specified the applicable populations, boundaries for the use of risk models, imaging review, management of conflicting results, evaluation of histopathological consistency, and post-intervention follow-up. Liquid biopsy, genetic testing, and artificial intelligence were defined as investigational or adjunctive tools. Conclusion This framework can serve as a preliminary reference for multidisciplinary teams in developing local protocols. It cannot replace applicable guidelines, pathological diagnosis, shared decision-making with patients, or real-world validation.

Objective To explore the necessity of routine chest X-ray (CXR) examination after lung surgery based on patient symptom burden. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on the patients who underwent thoracoscopic lung resection at the Department of Thoracic Surgery of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital from March 2020 to April 2023. Routine CXR findings obtained within 24 h post-operation, after chest tube removal, and at 1-month post-discharge, as well as subsequent clinical interventions triggered by these examinations, were collected and analyzed. The Perioperative Symptom Assessment Lung (PSA-Lung) inventory was used to quantify symptom burden including pain, dyspnea, and sleep disturbance. Results A total of 2 101 patients were collected, including 986 males and 1 115 females, with a median age of 56 years. The rate of clinical interventions triggered by routine CXR examinations was very low, being 1.0%, 0.5%, and 1.3% within 24 h post-operation, within 12 h after extubation, and at 1-month post-discharge, respectively. One month after discharge, patients in the intervention group exhibited significantly higher scores for dyspnea (3 points vs. 2 points, P=0.015), pain (2 points vs. 1 point, P=0.039), and sleep disturbance (3 points vs. 2 points, P=0.036) compared with the non-intervention group. Conclusion Very few routine postoperative CXR examinations change patients’ management, and patients who need extra-intervention tended to have more severe symptom burden after surgery.

The recombinant human thyroid-stimulating hormone (rhTSH) can be used for differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) preparation before ¹³¹I therapy, and follow-up. Since its approval by the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1998, rhTSH has been clinically used in European countries, the United States, and other countries for nearly 30 years. In April 2024, China’s first independently developed rhTSH agent was approved. Based on clinical experience and evidence from domestic and international studies, an expert consensus on the application of rhTSH has been developed following thorough consultations among experts. The consensus offers evidence-based recommendations to guide the appropriate use of rhTSH in clinical practice.
