Neck dissection(ND)is one of the main treatment methods for oral and maxillofacial malignancies.Although ND type is in con-stant improvement,but intraoperative peal-pull-push injury of the accessory nerve,muscle,muscle membrane,fascia and ligament induced shoulder syndrome(SS)is still a common postoperative complication,combined with the influence of radiochemotherapy,not only can cause pain,stiffness,numbness,limited dysfunction of shoulder neck and arm,but also may have serious impact on patient's life quality and phys-ical and mental health.At present,there is still a lack of a systematic evaluation and rehabilitation management program for postoperative SS of oral and maxillofacial malignant tumors.Based on the previous clinical practice and the current available evidence,refer to the relevant lit-erature at home and abroad,the experts in the field of maxillofacial tumor surgery and rehabilitation were invited to discuss,modify and reach a consenusus on the etiology,assessment diagnosis,differential diagnosis,rehabilitation strategy and prevention of SS,in order to provide clinical reference.

Surgical operation is the main treatment of oral and maxillofacial tumors.Dysphagia is a common postoperative complication.Swal-lowing disorder can not only lead to mis-aspiration,malnutrition,aspiration pneumonia and other serious consequences,but also may cause psychological problems and social communication barriers,affecting the quality of life of the patients.At present,there is no systematic evalua-tion and rehabilitation management plan for the problem of swallowing disorder after oral and maxillofacial tumor surgery in China.Combining the characteristics of postoperative swallowing disorder in patients with oral and maxillofacial tumors,summarizing the clinical experience of ex-perts in the field of tumor and rehabilitation,reviewing and summarizing relevant literature at home and abroad,and through joint discussion and modification,a group of national experts reached this consensus including the core contents of the screening of swallowing disorders,the phased assessment of prognosis and complications,and the implementation plan of comprehensive management such as nutrition management,respiratory management,swallowing function recovery,psychology and nursing during rehabilitation treatment,in order to improve the evalua-tion and rehabilitation of swallowing disorder after oral and maxillofacial tumor surgery in clinic.

Cryoablation therapy with explicit anti-tumor mechanisms and histopathological manifestations has a long history.A large number of clinical practice has shown that cryoablation therapy is safe and effective,making it an ideal tumor treatment method in theory.Previously,its efficacy and clinical application were constrained by the limitations of refrigerants and refrigeration equipment.With the development of the new generation of cryoablation equipment represented by argon helium knives,significant progress has been made in refrigeration efficien-cy,ablation range,and precise temperature measurement,greatly promoting the progression of tumor cryoablation technology.This consensus systematically summarizes the mechanism of cryoablation technology,indications for oral mucosal melanoma(OMM)cryotherapy,clinical treatment process,adverse reactions and management,cryotherapy combination therapy,etc.,aiming to provide reference for carrying out the standardized cryoablation therapy of OMM.

Currently,the research or publications related to the clinical comprehensive evaluation of Chinese patent medicine are increasing,which attracts the broad attention of all circles. According to the completed clinical evaluation report on Chinese patent medicine,there are still practical problems and technical difficulties such as unclear responsibility of the evaluation organization,unclear evaluation subject,miscellaneous evaluation objects,and incomplete and nonstandard evaluation process. In terms of evaluation standards and specifications,there are different types of specifications or guidelines with different emphases issued by different academic groups or relevant institutions. The professional guideline is required to guide the standardized and efficient clinical comprehensive evaluation of Chinese patent medicine and further improve the authority and quality of evaluation. In combination with the characteristics of Chinese patent medicine and the latest research achievement at home and abroad,the detailed specifications were formulated from six aspects including design,theme selection,content and index,outcome,application and appraisal,and quality control. The guideline was developed based on the guideline development requirements of China Assoication of Chinese medicine. After several rounds of expert consensus and public consultation,the current version of the guideline has been developed.

Selective dorsal neurotomy (SDN) is a surgical treatment for primary premature ejaculation (PE), but there is still no standard surgical procedure for selecting the branches of the dorsal penile nerves to be removed. We performed this study to explore the value of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) of the penile sensory-evoked potential (PSEP) for standard surgical procedures in SDN. One hundred and twenty primary PE patients undergoing SDN were selected as the PE group and 120 non-PE patients were selected as the normal group. The PSEP was monitored and compared between the two groups under both natural and general anesthesia (GA) states. In addition, patients in the PE group were randomly divided into the IONM group and the non-IONM group. During SDN surgery, PSEP parameters of the IONM group were recorded and analyzed. The differences in PE-related outcome measurements between the perioperative period and 3 months' postoperation were compared for the PE patients, and the differences in effectiveness and complications between the IONM group and the non-IONM group were compared. The results showed that the average latency of the PSEP in the PE group was shorter than that in the normal group under both natural and GA states (P < 0.001). Three months after surgery, the significant effective rates in the IONM and non-IONM groups were 63.6% and 34.0%, respectively (P < 0.01), and the difference in complications between the two groups was significant (P < 0.05). IONM might be useful in improving the short-term therapeutic effectiveness and reducing the complications of SDN.

In this paper, 50 batches of representative traditional Chinese medicine tablets were selected and the disintegration time was examined with the method in Chinese Pharmacopoeia. The disintegration time and disintegration phenomenon were recorded, and the dissolution behaviors of water-soluble and ultraviolet-absorbent components during the disintegration process of tablets were characterized by self-control method. The results revealed that coating type and raw material type influenced the disintegration time of tablets. It was found that only 4% of traditional Chinese medicine tablets had obvious fragmentation during the disintegration process, while 96% of traditional Chinese medicine tablets showed gradual dissolution or dispersion. Furthermore, according to the disintegration speed, disintegration phenomenon, and whether the cumulative dissolution of measured components was > 90% at complete disintegration, a disintegration behavior classification system(DBCS) was created for the regular-release traditional Chinese medicine tablets. As a result, the disintegration behaviors of 50 batches of traditional Chinese medicine tablets were classified into four categories, i.e. ⅠA_2, ⅠB_1, ⅡB_1, and ⅡB_2. traditional Chinese medicine tablets(Class I) with disintegration time ≤ 30 min were defined to be rapid in disintegration, which can be the objective of optimization or improvement of Chinese herbal extract(semi extract) tablets. Different drug release models were used to fit the dissolution curve of traditional Chinese medicine tablets with gradual dissolution or dispersion phenomenon(i.e. Type B tablets). The results showed that the dissolution curves of water-soluble components in the disintegration process conformed to the zero order kinetics and the Ritger-Peppas model. It could be inferred that the disintegration mechanisms of type B tablets were a combination of dissolution controlled and swelling controlled mechanisms. This study contributes to understanding the disintegration behavior of traditional Chinese medicine tablets, and provides a reference for the design and improvement of disintegration performance of traditional Chinese medicine tablets.

The mixing process is a critical link in the formation of oral solid preparations of traditional Chinese medicine. This paper took the extract powder of Guizhi Fuling Capsules and Paeonol powder as research objects. The angle of repose, loose packing density, and particle size of the two powders were measured to calibrate discrete element simulation parameters for the mixing process. The discrete element method was used to calibrate the simulated solid density of Paeonol powder and extract powder of Guizhi Fuling Capsules based on the Hertz-Mindlin with JKR V2 contact model and particle scaling. The Plackett-Burman experimental design was used to screen out the critical contact parameters that had a significant effect on the simulation of the angle of repose. The regression model between the critical contact parameters and the simulated angle of repose was established by the Box-Behnken experimental design, and the critical contact parameters of each powder were optimized based on the regression model. The best combination of critical contact parameters of the extract powder of Guizhi Fuling Capsules was found to be 0.51 for particle-particle static friction coefficient, 0.31 for particle-particle rolling friction coefficient, and 0.64 for particle-stainless steel static friction coefficient. For Paeonol powder, the best combination of critical contact parameters was 0.4 for particle-particle static friction coefficient and 0.19 for particle-particle rolling friction coefficient. The best combination of contact parameters between Paeonol powder and extract powder of Guizhi Fuling Capsules was 0.27 for collision recovery coefficient, 0.49 for static friction coefficient, and 0.38 for rolling friction coefficient. The verification results show that the relative error between the simulated value and the measured value of the angle of repose of the two single powders is less than 1%, while the relative error between the simulated value and the measured value of the angle of repose of the mixed powder with a mass ratio of 1∶1 is less than 4%. These research results provide reliable physical property simulation data for the mixed simulation experiment of extract powder of Guizhi Fuling Capsules and Paeonol powder.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the prognostic significance of IKZF1 gene deletion in patients with acute B lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) . Methods: The clinical data of 142 patients with B-ALL diagnosed in Nanfang Hospital between March 2016 and September 2019 were analyzed. Results: IKZF1 deletion was found in 36.0% of the 142 patients with B-ALL, whereas exon 4-7 deletion was found in 44.0% . White blood cell counts were higher in patients with the IKZF1 deletion (52.0% and 28.3% , P=0.005) ; these patients also experienced worse effects of mid-term induction therapy (40.0% and 70.7% , P<0.001) and had a higher proportion of Philadelphia chromosome-positive (52.0% and 21.7% , respectively, P<0.001) . Univariate analysis revealed that the 3-year overall survival rate (OS) and event-free survival rate (EFS) in the IKZF1 deletion group were significantly lower than the IKZF1 wild-type group [ (37.1±7.3) % vs (54.7±5.4) % , (51.8±7.9) % vs (73.9±4.7) % ; P=0.025, 0.013, respectively]. Multivariable analysis showed that harboring IKZF1 deletion was an adverse factor of EFS and OS (HR=1.744, 2.036; P=0.022, 0.020, respectively) . Furthermore, the IKZF1 deletion/chemotherapy group had significantly lower 3-year OS, EFS, and disease-free survival rates than other subgroups. In the IKZF1 deletion cohort, allo-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) significantly improved OS and EFS compared to non-allo-HSCT[ (67.9±10.4) % vs (31.9±11.0) % , (46.6±10.5) % vs (26.7±9.7) % ; P=0.005, 0.026, respectively]. Conclusion: Pediatric-inspired chemotherapy was unable to completely reverse the negative effect of IKZF1 deletion on prognosis. Pediatric-inspired regimen therapy combined with allo-HSCT, in contrast, significantly improved the overall prognosis of IKZF1 deletion B-ALL.

Objective To explore the anatomical morphology and characteristics of the sustentaculum tali based on CT three⁃dimensional reconstruction, so to provide anatomical support for the treatment of calcaneal fractures with screw implantation. Methods From March 2019 to March 2020, a total of 336 adult calcaneal CT three⁃dimensional reconstruction images from the Affiliated Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Southwest Medical University were collected after exclusion of inclusion criteria. The CT three⁃dimensional reconstruction of calcaneus was classified according to the β, the prolate axial intersection between sustentaculum tali and calcaneus on the normal posterior. Reference points, β; AB, the distance from the inside of sustentaculum tali to the inside of posterior talar articular surface; AC, the distance from the inside of sustentaculum tali to the outside of posterior talar articular surface; AD, the distance from the inside of sustentaculum tali to lateral of calcaneal; AE, the distance from the inside of sustentaculum tali to medial process of calcaneal tuberosity; AF, the distance from the inside of sustentaculum tali to calcaneal tuberosity; AG, the distance from the inside of sustentaculum tali to lateral process of calcaneal tuberosity. The results were statistically analyzed according to type, sex and body side. Results Under the β, the sustentaculum tali was classified into three types: typeⅠ(β<70°, 68 cases, 20.24%), type Ⅱ(70°≤β<80°, 153 cases, 45.54%), type Ⅲ(80°≤β<90°, 115 cases, 34.23%). For the distance of β, AB, AF, there were statistical differences between type Ⅲ and other types (P<0.05). For the distance of AE, there were statistical differences between type Ⅲ and typeⅠ(P<0.05). Meanwhile, for the distance of AB, AC, AD, AE, AF, AG, there were statistical differences between male and female (P<0.05). For the distance of β, AB, there were statistical differences between right and left (P<0.05). Conclusion Under the β, the sustentaculum tali is classified into three types, with the typeⅡas the main type. When treating calcaneal fractures with internal fixation, direction of screw implant can choose between 70° to 80° as soon as possible. The morphology and classification of sustentaculum tali are of certain clinical implication to treat calcaneal fractures.

Objective:To explore the effects of Huatan Tongluo Decoction （HTTLD） on the morphology and function of brain tissues and intestine in rats with cerebral ischemia/reperfusion based on the gut-brain axis. Method:Sixty SPF male rats were randomly divided into a sham operation group， a model group， high- （28.66 g·kg^-1）， medium- （14.33 g·kg^-1）， and low-dose （7.16 g·kg^-1） HTTLD groups， and an edaravone （4 g·kg^-1）+Clostridium butyricum （5.0×10⁸ cfu·mL^-1） group. The model was established by focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in rats. The drugs were administered by gavage. The brain tissue injury was determined by neurological deficit score and 2，3，5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride （TTC） staining. The effect of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion on intestinal motility was assessed by the propulsion rate of small intestine. The intestinal mucosal cell damage was evaluated by the pathomorphological examination of the duodenal mucosa. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to determine the content of D-lactate （D-LAC）， diamine oxidase （DAO）， and bacterial endotoxin （lipopolysaccharide， LPS） in serum. Western blot was used to detect the expression of Occludin， Claudin-5， and zonula occludens 1 （ZO-1） in the duodenum. Result:After cerebral ischemia/reperfusion， rats developed neurological deficit symptoms. The neurological deficit score in the model group was higher than that in the sham operation group （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the high- and medium-dose HTTLD groups could relieve the symptoms of neurological deficits and lower neurological deficit scores （P<0.01）. The results of TTC staining showed that the model group presented obvious infarcts in brain tissues compared with the sham operation group （P<0.01）. The cerebral infarction volumes of HTTLD groups were reduced compared with that in the model group （P<0.01）， especially the high-dose HTTLD group， and the effect was dose-dependent. Furthermore， the propulsion rate of small intestine in the model group was significantly reduced compared with that in the sham operation group （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， HTTLD groups could increase propulsion rates of small intestine （P<0.01）， especially the high-dose HTTLD group， and the effect was dose-dependent. After cerebral ischemia/reperfusion， obvious duodenal mucosal damage could be observed， which was relieved after the administration of HTTLD. Western blot results showed that the protein expression of ZO-1， Occludin， and Claudin-5 in the model group was reduced compared with that in the sham operation group （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the HTTLD groups could up-regulate the expression of ZO-1， Occludin， and Claudin-5 to varying degrees （P<0.05， P<0.01）， especially the high-dose HTTLD group. ELISA showed that the serum D-LAC， DAO， and LPS of the model group were elevated compared with those in the sham operation group （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the HTTLD groups showed reduced D-LAC and DAO （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the medium- and high-dose HTTLD groups showed reduced LPS （P<0.05， P<0.01）， especially the high-dose HTTLD group. Conclusion:After cerebral ischemia/reperfusion， the rats showed damaged brain tissues， neurological dysfunction， intestinal mucosal injury， weakened intestinal motility， and destroyed the intestinal mucosal barrier. HTTLD can protect against brain-gut axis injury after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion by reducing the damage on brain tissues and gastrointestinal mucosa， relieving the symptoms of neurological deficits， promoting gastrointestinal motility， improving intestinal barrier function， and reducing the release of intestinal bacterial metabolites or poisons.
