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 explore the efficacy and safety of toludesvenlafaxine in the treatment of patients with major depressive disorder （MDD） with anhedonia. METHODS This retrospective study included 160 patients with MDD with anhedonia who were treated at Hebei Mental Health Center from May 2023 to August 2025. These patients were divided into a control group （ n ＝81） and an observation group （ n ＝79） according to treatment regimens. All patients received transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy. On this basis，the control group was treated with Sertraline Hydrochloride Tablets， while the observation group received Toludesvenlafaxine Hydrochloride Sustained-Release Tablets，with an 8-week continuous treatment course.To compare t he clinical total effective rate， anhedonia remission rate，the severity of depressive symptoms，degree of anhedonia，cognitive function，social function and quality of life between the two groups before and after treatment， the incidence of adverse reactions during treatment was recorded simultaneously. RESULTS After treatment，the total effective rate and anhedonia remission rate of the observation group were significantly higher than the control group （ P ＜0.05）. At the 4th and 8th weeks of treatment， the scores of Snaith-Hamilton Pleasure Scale， Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17 Items， and Sheehan Disability Scale of both groups were significantly lower than those before treatment in the same group， and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group （ P ＜0.05）； the scores of Montreal Cognitive Assessment and Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire-Short Form were significantly higher than those before treatment in the same group， and the observation group was significantly higher than the control group （ P ＜0.05）. There was no statistically significant difference in the overall incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups （ P ＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Toludesvenlafaxine can significantly improve depressive symptoms， cognitive function， and social function in MDD patients with anhedonia，with good safety.

Objective To analyze the efficacy, safety, and learning curve of the three-lobe holmium laser enucleation of the prostate(HoLEP)in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)in a county-level hospital.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 65 BPH patients who underwent the three-lobe HoLEP performed by a single surgeon at the Department of Urology, Yining County People's Hospital, during Dec.2023 and Jun.2024.The enucleation efficiency was calculated by dividing the weight of the enucleated prostatic tissue by the enucleation time.A case scatter diagram of enucleation efficiency was plotted according to the chronological order of the operations, and the learning curve was analyzed after fitting.Based on the inflection points of the learning curve, the learning process was divided into the initial learning, mastery, and proficiency phases.The basic clinical data, perioperative indicators, postoperative complications, and follow-up indicators were compared among the different learning phases.Results All 65 procedures were successfully completed.Marked by the enucleation efficiency reaching a plateau, cases 1-20 were defined as the initial learning phase, cases 21-40 as the mastery phase, and cases 41 onwards as the proficiency phase.The prostate volume in the proficiency phase was significantly larger than that in the initial learning and mastery phases(both P＜0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in other baseline characteristics among the three groups(all P＞0.05).The operation time [(105.50±19.12)min vs.(85.25±26.92)min vs.(69.00±23.58)min] and enucleation time [(76.90±14.19)min vs.(63.70±22.24)min vs.(48.80±20.48)min] showed a decreasing trend across the three groups(all P＜0.05).The enucleation efficiency in both the mastery and proficiency phases was significantly higher than that in the initial learning phase [(1.16±0.44)g/min vs.(0.85 ±0.25)g/min, P＜0.05;(1.36±0.49)g/min vs.(0.85±0.25)g/min, P＜0.05].The enucleation efficiency in the proficiency phase was slightly higher than that in the mastery phase, but the difference was not statistically significant(P= 0.389).There was no significant difference in the incidence of perioperative complications among the three groups(all P＞0.05).At the 6-month follow-up, the international prostate symptom score(IPSS), post-void residual(PVR), and maximum urinary flow(Qmax)were significantly improved compared to preoperative values in all three groups(all P＜0.05);however, no significant differences were observed among the three groups(all P＞0.05).Conclusion The three-lobe HoLEP for the treatment of BPH is safe and effective in a county-level hospital setting.Surgeons with some experience in endoscopic surgery can preliminarily master this technique after a learning period of approximately 20 procedures.

Strangles,caused by Streptococcus equi subsp.equi,remains one of the most prevalent and high-incidence infectious diseases in intensive donkey farms,posing a significant threat to the healthy development of the donkey industry.Vaccination serves as an effective measure for the pre-vention and control of the disease,however,there is currently no attenuated vaccine against this disease in China.To provide a candidate strain for the development of a live attenuated strangles vaccine,this study focused on a wild-type S.equi subsp.equi strain isolated from donkeys.Using homologous recombination gene knockout technology,the aroA gene(encoding 5-enolpyru-vylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase)and the sag A gene(encoding the precursor of streptolysin S toxin)were sequentially deleted to construct a double-gene-deletion strain(ΔsagA/aroA).The virulence and key biological characteristics of the mutant strain were systematically evaluated.TheΔsagA/aroA strain was successfully generated,exhibiting complete loss of hemolytic activity and maintaining stable genetic inheritance over 60 consecutive passages.Electron microscopy revealed that the mutant retained morphological characteristics compared to the wild-type strain,and its growth rate was significantly slower(P＜0.000 1).Virulence assessment using a challenge dose of 1× 105 CFU/0.2 mL(the minimum fully lethal dose of the wild-type strain)demonstrated markedly attenuated virulence in the mutant.Immunization trials with 1 ×104 CFU/0.2 mL of theΔsagA/aroA strain revealed a increase in ELISA antibody titers by day 7 post-vaccination,and higher levels at days 14 and 21.Notably,antibody levels in the experimental group were significant-ly higher than those in the control group(P＜0.000 1).These findings confirm that the double-gene-deletion strain S.equi subsp.equi ΔsagA/aroA exhibits reduced virulence while retaining im-munogenicity,which suggested it can be used as a promising candidate strain for further develop-ment of a live attenuated strangles vaccine.

The lung is a vital organ that is in direct contact with the external environment.It is extremely susceptible to a variety of exogenous factors,which can trigger a series of inflammatory responses and lead to varying degrees of tissue damage.With the development of genetic engineering technology,silencing specific target genes through RNA interference has become a new strategy for the treatment of lung injury.Small interfering RNA(siRNA)is a crucial role in RNA interference that can bind to the target gene through base complementary pairing to inhibit its expression,thereby producing a corresponding regulatory effect.Due to its specific targeting and low biological toxicity,siRNA is gradually becoming an ideal tool for the treatment of lung injury and other lung diseases.This article reviews the mechanism of action of siRNA and its application progress and research status in the treatment of lung injury.

Objective:To analyze and confirm the ambiguous results of HLA-DRB1 genotyping in one case.Methods:HLA genotyping was performed on a sample of hematopoietic stem cell donor using Illumina MiSeq-based next-generation sequencing(NGS).The ambiguous results of HLA-DRB1 locus were further analyzed and confirmed through PacBio SMRT third-generation sequencing.Results:The Illumina MiSeq-based NGS typing results suggested the presence of a new HLA-DRB1*11 allele(DRB1*11:NEW,12:01)in the specimen,with a mismatch of G＞A located in the 40th residue of exon 1 compared with the nearest allele DRB1*11:01:01:03.However,due to the long sequence of intron 1,this observed mutation site was so far away from the near heterozygous sites that no reads could cover this gap.Therefore,it was impossible to determine which consensus the mutation site was located in,and the NGS-based genotyping results were obtained from the random allocation by the software,which was ambiguous and unreliable.In order to confirm the results,the long-read third generation sequencing technology based on PacBio was applied to genotype the DRB1 locus.The results showed that the DRB1 typing was HLA-DRB1*11:01,12:10.E1-40A was actually located in the allele HLA-DRB1*12:XX,which was exactly matched with HLA-DRB1*12:10.Conclusion:For some new alleles suggested by NGS,especially the ambiguous ones that are far away from other heterozygous sites,it is necessary to analyze and confirm them by other methods such as the third-generation long-read sequencing technology to obtain reliable results.

Objective:To analyze the predictive role of WT1 expression levels pre-and early post-transplantation on relapse and overall survival(OS)in patients with acute myeloid leukemia(AML)undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT)during their first complete remission(CR1).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 107 adult AML patients who underwent allo-HSCT during their CR1 at our center between May 2012 and December 2021.The predictive role of bone marrow WT1 expression levels before transplantation and at 3 and 6 months post-transplantation on relapse and OS was explored in combination with relevant clinical factors.Results:The median follow-up time for the 107 patients was 70(range:11-117)months.Among the patients,15 cases died.Kaplan-Meier survial analysis showed that the 3-year overall survival(OS)rate was 85.0％.20 patients experienced relapse,with a median time to relapse of 8(range:0.5-44)months and a l-year cumulative relapse rate of 13.1％.The overall median value of WT1 before transplantation,3 months after transplantation,and 6 months after transplantation was 0.26％(range:0％-23.64％),with an upper quartile value of 0.74％.No statistically significant differences in WT1 expression levels were observed among the pre-transplantation,3-month post-transplantation,and 6-month post-transplantation time points(P=0.227).Univariate analysis showed that patients with WT1 levels＞0.74％at 3 months post-transplantation had a higher 1-year relapse rate(P=0.029)and lower 3-year OS rate(P＜0.001)compared to patients with WT1 levels ≤0.74％.Other significant factors affecting 1-year relapse included stem cell source(P=0.041)and chronic graft-versus-host disease(cGVHD)(P=0.013).For 3-year OS,additional influencing factors were genetic high risk(P=0.048)and stem cell source(P=0.016).Multivariate analysis revealed that WT1 level＞0.74％at 3 months post-transplantation had a trend to affect 1-year relapse rate(HR=3.309,95％CI:0.958-11.431,P=0.058),while the absence of cGVHD was an independent risk factor for 1-year relapse(HR=3.473,95％CI:0.749-16.100,P=0.037).Only WT1 level＞0.74％at 3 months post-transplantation was an independent risk factor for 3-year OS(HR=6.886,95％CI:2.402-19.738,P＜0.001).Conclusion:High WT1 expression level at 3 months post-transplantation in AML patients undergoing allo-HSCT during CR1 affects the 1-year relapse rate and 3-year OS,and is an independent risk factor affecting 3-year OS.These findings suggest that dynamic monitoring of WT1 expression levels has certain value in prognostic assessment of AML patients who received allo-HSCT during CR1.

Objective:To construct a risk prediction model for pulmonary infection in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) based on decision tree method, and analyze nursing strategies.Methods:From March 2022 to June 2024, convenience sampling was used to select 162 patients with AECOPD at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University as study subjects. Patients with AECOPD complicated by pulmonary infection were designated as infection group ( n=82), while patients without pulmonary infection were designated as non-infection group ( n=80). Relevant clinical data were collected, and multiple Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of pulmonary infections in AECOPD patients, and a decision tree prediction model was established. Results:Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age, glucocorticoid use time, hospital stay, mechanical ventilation history, diabetes, C-reactive protein and procalcitonin were the influencing factors of AECOPD patients with pulmonary infection ( P<0.05). The risk decision tree model of AECOPD patients with pulmonary infection based on the above factors showed that procalcitonin, C-reactive protein, mechanical ventilation history and diabetes were nodes, with four layers, six terminal nodes and four explanatory variables. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.929 [95% CI (0.889, 0.968) ], the sensitivity was 0.854, the specificity was 0.875, and the predictive performance was good. Conclusions:Age, glucocorticoid use time, hospital stay, mechanical ventilation history, diabetes, C-reactive protein and procalcitonin are independent risk factors for AECOPD patients with pulmonary infection. The decision tree prediction model constructed has good predictive performance and can be used as a basis for selecting nursing strategies.

In view of the characteristics of H5N6 subtype avian influenza virus(AIV)that it has both high pathogenicity and the risk of cross-species transmission,posing a serious threat to the poultry farming industry and public health security,in order to effectively prevent and control the spread of H5N6 avian influenza,a rapid,sensitive and specific detection technolo-gy was established in this study.The specific monoclonal antibodies against the neuraminidase N6 protein of avian influenza A virus subtype H5N6 were obtained through hybridoma and monoclonal antibody technology.These antibodies were coupled and labeled with carboxyl-functionalized fluorescent quantum dots,along with previously prepared specific antibodies against the hemagglutinin H5 protein.A rapid fluorescence immunochromatographic detection method for the H5N6 subtype of avian influ-enza virus was established according to the principle of double-antibody sandwich immunochromatography.This method a-chieved a detection sensitivity of 1 ng/mL for recombinant hemagglutinin H5 subtype protein and 0.1 ng/mL for recombinant neuraminidase N6 subtype protein.Moreover,the method exhibited no cross-reactivity with other influenza subtypes or patho-gens,such as Newcastle disease(ND),infectious bronchitis(IB),and infectious laryngotracheitis(ILT),thus demonstrating good specificity.The method effectively identified the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus H5 subtype and directly distin-guished the H5N6 subtype with good accuracy.The fluorescent quantum dot immunochromatographic typing detection method established herein met the sensitivity,specificity,and accuracy requirements for H5N6 subtype detection,and can be further used for rapid detection of the H5 and H5N6 subtypes of avian influenza virus.
