Objective To analyze the composition of the aqueous extract of Polygonatum Cyrtonema Hua(PCHE)and evaluate its antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo.Our aim is to provide a theoretical basis for the further development and utilization of Polygonatum Cyrtonema Hua.Methods(1)PCHE was prepared by aqueous extraction,and the chemical composition of PCHE was analyzed by UPLC-Q-TOF/MS and phenol-sulfuric acid method.The inhibitory activity on tumor cells proliferation of PCHE was detected by CCK-8 assay.Cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry,and the expression of apoptosis-related proteins Bcl-2 and Bax was detected by Western Blot.The inhibitory activity of PCHE-containing serum on cell proliferation was detected.(2)A B16 tumor-bearing mice model was constructed and model mice were randomly divided into the model group(saline),the positive drug group(CTX:50 mg·kg-1),and PCHE low-,medium-,and high-dose groups(55.9,111.8,223.6 mg·kg-1),and treated by gavage for 7 days.Changes in body weight and tumor volume of mice were observed during the treatment period.The mice were executed after the treatment,and the histopathological changes of heart,liver,spleen,lung,kidney and tumor were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining.The protein expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in tumor tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry(IHC).Results The polysaccharide content of PCHE reached(10.07±1.3)%,and the flavonoid content was(0.044±0.004)%,and thirty-nine components were detected by UPLC-Q-TOF/MS,which contained antitumor components such as flavonoids(baicalein,quercetin,luteolin and rutin),organic acids(ferulic acid)and polyphenols(gallic acid),etc.PCHE exhibited the inhibitory effects on Hela,A549,4T1,B16,MFC and HepG2 cells,among which the inhibitory effect on B16 cells was the most significant(P＜0.001),and PCHE induced cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase in B16 cells(P＜0.001).The results of double-staining flow cytometry and Western Blot showed that PCHE significantly promoted apoptosis of B16 cells,decreased the expression of Bcl-2,and promoted the expression of Bax(P＜0.01,P＜0.001).and PCHE constituents absorbed into blood also had an inhibitory effect on B16 cells(P＜0.001).In addition,the results of in vivo activity assay showed that different doses of PCHE could inhibit tumor growth,induce tumor cell necrosis,reduce Bcl-2 expression,and increase Bax expression compared with the model group.Conclusion The ingredients in PCHE are abundant.It contains a variety of antitumor active ingredients,which can inhibit tumor growth,induce tumor cell apoptosis,show strong anti-tumor effects and be worthy of in-depth study.

Objective:To determine the correlation between the radiologic magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)depth of invasion(MRI-DOI)and pathologic depth of invasion(p-DOI)in oral cavity primary tongue squamous cell carcinoma(TSCC).Methods:Fifty-two cases of patho-logically proven primary TSCC were selected from patients admitted to The Ninth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong Uni-versity School of Medicine between January 2015 and December 2018.The p-DOI was measured,and the relationship between p-DOI and patients'clinicopathological parameters and prognosis were analyzed.The MRI-DOI was retrospectively measured,and the correlation between MRI-DOI and p-DOI was investigated.Results:Among the 52 patients,the average p-DOI was(8.5±5.5)(1-30)mm.p-DOI was signi-ficantly correlated with tumor size(P=0.021)and tumor site(P=0.047)when p-DOI was>5 mm,and significantly correlated with level Ⅲ lymph node metastasis(P=0.01)when p-DOI was≥10 mm.A close relationship between p-DOI>7 mm and the patient 5-year survival was also demonstrated(P=0.048).The average MRI-DOI was(10.3±4.3)mm,with a maximum of 19.9 mm and a minimum of 3.1 mm.The MRI-DOI≥10 mm also predicted poor survival in patients with TSCC(P=0.043).The MRI-DOI measured was generally slightly higher than p-DOI,with an average difference of 1.94 mm,and a strong correlation was found between MRI-DOI and p-DOI(r=0.831,P<0.001).Conclusions:MRI-based radiologic DOI measurement was useful in estimating postoperative p-DOI,and may help predict the depth of invasion of tumors preoperatively,which has important reference value for treating primary TSCC.

Objective:To analyze the CT and MRI imaging features of Kimura disease in parotid region.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. From January 2018 to June 2023, a total of 40 patients with Kimura disease in parotid region who were initially diagnosed and confirmed by postoperative pathology were retrospectively collected in the Ninth People′s Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. There were 36 male patients and 4 female patients, with an age of (46±19) years, ranging from 8 to 74 years old. The clinical data, preoperative CT and MRI findings were analyzed. For patients undergoing MRI examination, the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value of the lesion was measured, and the type of time-signal intensity curve (TIC) was analyzed.Results:The ratio of male to female patients was 9∶1, with a long clinical history (1 month to 20 years). And 37 cases (37/40, 92.5%) were associated with elevated peripheral blood eosinophils. Among the 40 cases, there were 4 cases of nodular type, 34 cases of diffuse type, and 2 cases of intermediate type. Nodular type: All lesions were located in the superficial lobe of unilateral parotid gland, and 3 cases had multiple lesions. The lesions were round, well-defined, and homogeneous in density or signal intensity. Two lesions showed hyperintensity on T 2WI and obvious homogeneous enhancement. The TIC was plateau type, and the ADC values were 0.74×10 -3 mm 2/s and 0.82×10 -3 mm 2/s. Diffuse type: The 22 cases had multiple lesions, and 20 cases had subcutaneous lesions in other parts of the head and neck. The lesions were irregular in shape and ill-defined in boundary. The adjacent subcutaneous tissue and skin were involved in 33 cases. The density or signal intensity of the lesions was heterogeneous, and among the 15 patients who underwent MRI, 14 cases showed uneven slightly hyperintensity with hypointense strips on T 2WI, moderate or significant enhancement. TIC showed a persistent pattern in 9 cases, and a plateau pattern in 6 cases. The ADC value was (0.99±0.21)×10 -3 mm 2/s. Intermediate type: The 2 cases were single, irregular in shape, without involvement of adjacent subcutaneous tissue and skin, with obvious enhancement and no necrosis. And 28 cases of diffuse type and 2 cases of nodular type were accompanied by ipsilateral or bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy. The enlarged lymph nodes had clear boundaries, homogeneous density or signal intensity, and homogeneous enhancement. Conclusions:The Kimura disease in parotid region has a long clinical course and elevated peripheral blood eosinophils. The diffuse type is more common in the morphology, with multiple ill-defined lesions in and around the parotid gland, and can be accompanied by similar subcutaneous lesions in other parts of the head and neck with obvious enhancement, accompanied by cervical lymph node enlargement. TIC shows persistent pattern or plateau type, and the ADC value is low. The nodular type and intermediate type are rare.

With the increasing proportion of human papilloma virus(HPV)infection in the pathogenic factors of oro-pharyngeal cancer,a series of changes have occurred in the surgical treatment.While the treatment mode has been im-proved,there are still many problems,including the inconsistency between diagnosis and treatment modes,the lack of popularization of reconstruction technology,the imperfect post-treatment rehabilitation system,and the lack of effective preventive measures.Especially in terms of treatment mode for early oropharyngeal cancer,there is no unified conclu-sion whether it is surgery alone or radiotherapy alone,and whether robotic minimally invasive surgery has better func-tional protection than radiotherapy.For advanced oropharyngeal cancer,there is greater controversy over the treatment mode.It is still unclear whether to adopt a non-surgical treatment mode of synchronous chemoradiotherapy or induction chemotherapy combined with synchronous chemoradiotherapy,or a treatment mode of surgery combined with postopera-tive chemoradiotherapy.In order to standardize the surgical treatment of oropharyngeal cancer in China and clarify the indications for surgical treatment of oropharyngeal cancer,this expert consensus,based on the characteristics and treat-ment status of oropharyngeal cancer in China and combined with the international latest theories and practices,forms consensus opinions in multiple aspects of preoperative evaluation,surgical indication determination,primary tumor re-section,neck lymph node dissection,postoperative defect repair,postoperative complication management prognosis and follow-up of oropharyngeal cancer patients.The key points include:① Before the treatment of oropharyngeal cancer,the expression of P16 protein should be detected to clarify HPV status;② Perform enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the maxillofacial region before surgery to evaluate the invasion of oropharyngeal cancer and guide precise surgical resec-tion of oropharyngeal cancer.Evaluating mouth opening and airway status is crucial for surgical approach decisions and postoperative risk prediction;③ For oropharyngeal cancer patients who have to undergo major surgery and cannot eat for one to two months,it is recommended to undergo percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy before surgery to effectively improve their nutritional intake during treatment;④ Early-stage oropharyngeal cancer patients may opt for either sur-gery alone or radiation therapy alone.For intermediate and advanced stages,HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer general-ly prioritizes radiation therapy,with concurrent chemotherapy considered based on tumor staging.Surgical treatment is recommended as the first choice for HPV unrelated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma(including primary and re-current)and recurrent HPV related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma after radiotherapy and chemotherapy;⑤ For primary exogenous T1-2 oropharyngeal cancer,direct surgery through the oral approach or da Vinci robotic sur-gery is preferred.For T3-4 patients with advanced oropharyngeal cancer,it is recommended to use temporary mandibu-lectomy approach and lateral pharyngotomy approach for surgery as appropriate;⑥ For cT1-2N0 oropharyngeal cancer patients with tumor invasion depth＞3 mm and cT3-4N0 HPV unrelated oropharyngeal cancer patients,selective neck dissection of levels ⅠB to Ⅳ is recommended.For cN+HPV unrelated oropharyngeal cancer patients,therapeutic neck dissection in regions Ⅰ-Ⅴ is advised;⑦ If PET-CT scan at 12 or more weeks after completion of radiation shows intense FDG uptake in any node,or imaging suggests continuous enlargement of lymph nodes,the patient should undergo neck dissection;⑧ For patients with suspected extracapsular invasion preoperatively,lymph node dissection should include removal of surrounding muscle and adipose connective tissue;⑨ The reconstruction of oropharyngeal cancer defects should follow the principle of reconstruction steps,with priority given to adjacent flaps,followed by distal pedicled flaps,and finally free flaps.The anterolateral thigh flap with abundant tissue can be used as the preferred flap for large-scale postoperative defects.

Objective:To analyze the clinicopathological features of salivary carcinoma showing thymus-like differentiation(CASTLE).Methods:Cases diagnosed with salivary CASTLE from January 2020 to December 2023 were collected and selected from the Department of Oral Pathology, Shanghai Ninth People′s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. A total of 7 cases of salivary CASTLE were identified. All the cases originated from parotid. There were 3 males and 4 females. The patients′ age range was 11-70 years.The clinical, microscopic, immunohistochemical and prognostic features of these cases were analyzed.Results:The duration of disease ranged from 1 month to 1 year, and 1 patient had facial numbness and 1 with swelling sensation occasionally. Radiographically, 4 cases showed malignant signs. Microscopically, 4 cases involved in parotid gland, and all the tumors had different degrees of lymphoid tissue background. The tumor cells arranged in nests, 5 cases with lymphoepithelial carcinoma-like and 2 cases with squamous cell carcinoma morphology. The tumor cells expressed CD5 and CD117 proteins diffusely in lymphoepithelial carcinoma-like cases. However, the tumor cells expressed CD5 diffusely and CD117 focally in cases with squamous cell carcinoma morphology. All the cases had no Epstein-Barr virus infection. Among the 6 patients with follow-up information, all of them underwent postoperative radiotherapy, and none of them had local recurrence and lymph node metastasis.Conclusions:Salivary CASTLE is a rare tumor, it should be distinguished from lymphoepithelial carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. The patients often have better prognosis and CD5 protein expression has a valuable role in the differential diagnosis.

Objective:To investigate the changes of directional connections of auditory and non-auditory in patients with noise-induced deafness (NID) by degree centrality (DC) and Granger causality analysis (GCA), and to explore the mode of brain function remodeling after NID.Methods:In October 2023, a total of 58 patients diagnosed with NID by the Occupational Diseases Department of Yantaishan Hospital of Yantai from 2014 to 2022 were collected as case group (NID group), and 42 healthy volunteers matched by gender, age and education level were selected as the control group (HC group). Resting state-functional magnetic resonance imaging (Rs-fMRI) was perfomed and PC analysis was performed. The brain regions with statistically significant differences in DC values between groups and the bilateral Heschl regions were extracted as regions of interest (ROI) for voxel-based whole brain GCA and correlation analysis.Results:Compared with HC group, the SOG.L DC value of NID group was lower, the connectivity values of SFGdor.L to SOG.L was increased, the connectivity value of PCL.L to SOG.L was decreased, the connectivity values of ORBmid.L, PCG.R and CUN. L/R to HES.L were increased, the connectivity value of SFGdor.L to HES.L was decreased, the connectivity value of HES.L to PCUN.L was decreased, the connectivity values of ORBsup.L and PCG.R to HES.R were increased, the connectivity value of HES.R to CUN.L was decreased ( P voxel level<0.01, P cluster level<0.05). The connectivity value of PCL.L to SOG.L was negatively correlated with the weighted value of the better whisper frequency ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:The NID patients have abnormal directional connectivity activity in multiple brain regions, such as auditory vision, executive control, somatosensory movement, and default mode network. It is suggested that hearing loss may cause complex neural remodeling between auditory and non-auditory centers.

Objective:To explore the independent risk factors of poor healing of surgical incisions in patients with drainage tube removal after thoracic and abdominal surgery and establish a risk prediction model for poor healing of surgical incisions.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 545 patients who underwent thoracic and abdominal surgery in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University were selected from July to December 2020. The patients were divided into the poor wound healing group ( n=87) and the non-incision poor healing group ( n=458) according to whether they had poor wound healing. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of poor healing of surgical incisions and build a risk prediction model. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) area under the curve was used to test the model to predict the effect and 230 patients were selected to verify the model prediction effect. Results:In this study, 5 factors including duration of exudation, serum albumin, incision infection, the volume of exudation during catheterization and catheterization time were finally included to construct a risk prediction model. The model formula was Z=4.608+4.855× duration of exudation +3.173× serum albumin +3.739× infection of the incision +2.271×the volume of exudation during catheterization + 0.466× catheterization time. The area under ROC curve of this model was 0.773 (95% CI: 0.678 - 0.868). The maximum value of Youden index was 0.549, the sensitivity was 0.742 and the specificity was 0.807. Conclusions:The risk prediction model of poor incision healing after drainage tube removal for patients undergoing thoracic and abdominal surgery can better predict the risk of poor incision healing and provide a basis for clinical medical staff to take preventive management measures for high-risk patients in time.

Objective:To study the expression of programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) in tumor cells and CD8 +T lymphocytes in tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, and to analyze the correlation of PD-L1 expression with infiltration of CD8 +T lymphocytes and clinicopathologic features in salivary gland lymphoepithelial carcinoma (LEC). Methods:Forty-two cases of primary salivary LECs and 21 cases of secondary salivary LECs were enrolled at the Department of Oral Pathology, Shanghai Ninth People′s Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University between 2015 and 2017. The expression of Epstein-Barr (EB) virus, PD-L1 and CD8 was examined using chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining. The data were analyzed using SPSS 23.0 software package.Results:EB virus was detected in 61 cases (61/63, 96.8%), including 42 (42/42, 100%) primary LECs and 19 (19/21, 90.5%) secondary LECs. The PD-L1 positive rate (score ≥1) was 97.6% (41/42), and its high-expression rate (score ≥20) was 78.6% (33/42) in primary LECs. The PD-L1 positive rate (score ≥1) was 71.4% (15/21), and its high-expression rate (≥20) was 38.1% (8/21) in secondary LECs. However, the PD-L1 positive rate (score ≥1, P=0.004) and high-expression rate (score ≥20, P=0.001) in primary LECs were higher than those in secondary LECs. There was no difference in the infiltration degree of CD8 +T lymphocytes between primary and secondary LECs. There was a significant correlation between the expression of PD-L1 and CD8 in primary LECs ( P=0.001) and in secondary LECs ( P=0.048), respectively. Conclusions:There is PD-L1 expression in primary and secondary salivary LECs, while the expression rate is higher in primary LECs than secondary LECs. The combination of PD-L1 expression and CD8 +T lymphocytes′ presence suggest that most LEC patients might be responsive to immunotherapy, and primary LECs might be more significantly responsive than secondary LECs.
