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 microbial contamination and its influencing factors of indoor air in public places in Xi&#39;an City, to assess the health risk of employees, and to provide a scientific basis for improving the indoor environment of public places. Methods Total bacterial count and total fungal count in indoor air were monitored in hotels/inns, shopping malls/supermarkets, gyms, and waiting rooms in Xi&#39;an from 2023 to 2024. The health risk assessment of employees was evaluated according to the Chinese Population Exposure Parameters Manual (Adult Volume). Results Overall, the standard-exceeding rate of total bacterial count in Xi&#39;an was 3.85%, and the median values of total bacterial count and total fungal count were 350 CFU/m3 and 300 CFU/m3, respectively. The results of the generalized linear model showed that high indoor temperature and PM10 levels were associated with increased indoor bacterial concentrations (β>0, P<0.05), while high daily passenger flow, and high indoor relative humidity and PM₁₀ levels were associated with increased indoor fungal concentrations (β>0, P<0.05). The multivariate logistic regression showed that high levels of indoor bacterial and fungal concentrations were risk factors for respiratory discomfort among employees. The hazard quotient (HQ) values for all types of public places were less than 1, indicating that the health risk of microbial aerosol exposures for employees was relatively low. Conclusion The indoor microbial pollution in public places in Xi'an is relatively mild, but countermeasures still need to be taken to reduce indoor air microbial contamination.

Objective To investigate the sleep status in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and its relationship with executive function and neurodevelopment. Methods The medical records of 346 children with ASD in the hospital from April 2023 to January 2025 were retrospectively collected. The sleep status of children was investigated by Children’ s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ). According to the score, the children were divided into good sleep group (CSHQ score<41 points, 189 cases) and sleep disorder group (CSHQ score≥41 points, 157 cases). The general data were compared between groups of children. Chinese version of Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Preschool Version (BRIEF-P) and developmental behavior assessment scale of children aged 0-6 years (Children&#39;s psychological scale-II) were used to analyze the relationship between sleep status and executive function and neurodevelopment in children with ASD. Results The CSHQ score of 346 children was (39.08±3.24) points, including 157 cases with CSHQ score≥41 points and 189 cases with CSHQ score<41 points. The proportion of severe previous medical history and executive function score in sleep disorder group were significantly higher than those in good sleep group, and the evaluation result of developmental quotient was lower than that in good sleep group (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that executive ability and neurodevelopment were closely related to sleep status in children with ASD (P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that sleep status in children with ASD was negatively correlated with executive function (r=-0.456, P<0.05), and was positively correlated with the developmental quotient (r=0.547, P<0.05). Conclusion The incidence rate of sleep disorder is high in children with ASD, and sleep status is closely related to executive function and neurodevelopment. Clinically, it is necessary to pay attention to the sleep problems in children with ASD, and take effective intervention measures to improve the sleep quality of children and promote the training of executive function and neurodevelopment.

Objective To establish an individualized nomogram model and evaluate its efficacy to provide a possible evaluation basis for the prognosis of lower third and abdominal part of oesophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Methods Lower third and abdominal part of EAC patients from 2010 to 2015 were chosen from the SEER Research Plus Database (17 Regs, 2022nov sub). The patients were randomly allocated to the training cohort and the internal validation cohort with a ratio of 7∶3 using bootstrap resampling. The Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to determine significant contributors to overall survival (OS) in EAC patients, which would be elected to construct the nomogram prediction model. C-index, calibration curve and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were performed to evaluate its efficacy. Finally, the efficacy to evaluate the OS of EAC patients was compared between the nomogram prediction model and TNM staging system. Results In total, 3945 patients with lower third and abdominal part of EAC were enrolled, including 3475 males and 470 females with a median age of 65 (57-72) years. The 2761 patients were allocated to the training cohort and the remaining 1184 patients to the internal validation cohort. In the training and the internal validation cohorts, the C-index of the nomogram model was 0.705 and 0.713, respectively. Meanwhile, the calibration curve also suggested that the nomogram model had a strong capability of predicting 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS rates of EAC patients. The nomogram also had a higher efficacy than the TNM staging system in predicting 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS rates of EAC patients. Conclusion This nomogram prediction model has a high efficiency for predicting OS in the patients with lower third and abdominal part of EAC, which is higher than that of the current TNM staging system.

Objective To investigate the correlation between insulin resistance and interleukin-6 (IL-6), chemerin, total cholesterol (TC)/high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio, triglyceride (TG)/HDL-C ratio, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)/HDL-C ratio and insulin resistance in obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and to provide scientific basis for T2DM prevention and control. Methods A total of 355 obese T2DM patients in Songjiang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine were selected from January 2021 to December 2023. IL-6, chemerin and lipids were detected, and the assessment of insulin resistance was conducted through the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Results Among the 355 obese T2DM patients, there were 280 cases of insulin resistance, with the incidence rate of 78.87%. The BMI, IL-6, chemerin, TC/HDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C, and TG/HDL-C in the insulin resistance group were higher than those in the non-insulin resistance group (P<0.05). The above insulin resistant patients were divided into 4 subgroups by means of insulin resistance, and there were significant differences in BMI, IL-6, chemerin, and TG/HDL-C among the subgroups (P<0.05). IL-6, chemerin, and TG/HDL-C were positively correlated with HOMA-IR in obese T2DM patients (P<0.05), while TC/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C had no significant correlation with HOMA-IR (P>0.05). BMI, IL-6, chemerin, and TG/HDL-C were all influencing factors of insulin resistance in obese T2DM patients (P<0.05). Conclusion IL-6, chemerin and TG/HDL-C are correlated with insulin resistance in obese patients with T2DM and are influencing factors for the occurrence of insulin resistance.

Objective : To screen and analyze mutations in two families with non-syndromic tooth agenesis, providing a theoretical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of tooth agenesis Methods: This study was reviewed and approved by the Medical Ethics Committee, and informed consent was obtained from patients. Information and blood samples from two core families with non-syndromic congenital tooth agenesis were collected, along with blood samples from 100 normal controls. Pathogenic gene mutations were explored through whole exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing. The pathogenicity of the identified mutations was analyzed using prediction software Polyphen-2, CADD, and FAMMTH. The impact of the mutations on protein stability was predicted using Mupro, DUET, and I-Mutant software. Conservation analysis and protein 2D/3D structure analysis were used to predict the impact of mutations on protein function. The impact of the mutant proteins on subcellular localization was predicted using DeepLoc 2.1 software. Results: We identified two novel mutations in the muscle segment homeobox 1 (MSX1) gene: c.547C>A (p.Gln183Lys) and c.854T>C(p.Val285Ala) in the two families. Polyphen-2, CADD, and FATHMM predicted these mutations to be pathogenic, and ACMG classified these mutations as likely pathogenic. Conservation analysis showed that the two mutation sites (Gln183 and Val285) are located in highly conserved regions during evolution. Protein stability predictions indicated that these mutations influence protein stability. Protein 2D structure analysis indicated that these two mutations affect the 2D structure of the protein. 3D structure analysis showed that these two mutations can cause changes in the 3D structure. Software predictions indicated that these mutations do not affect the subcellular localization of the protein. Conclusion This study is the first to report two novel mutations in the MSX1 gene (c.547C>A and c.854T>C) associated with tooth agenesis, providing a basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment of congenital tooth loss.
