In recent decades,the incidence of human papillomavirus(HPV)-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma(OPSCC)has shown a marked increase.Significant changes have also occurred in the OPSCC diagnosis and treatment paradigm.Deter-mining HPV status prior to treatment is now essential,and radiotherapy/chemotherapy,immunotherapy,and minimally invasive surgical techniques have progressively emerged as key modalities for managing OPSCC.However,alongside these paradigm shifts,a comprehen-sive technical consensus guiding the entire diagnostic and therapeutic process for OPSCC patients is currently lacking.Given China's large population base and the rising incidence of OPSCC,an expert panel convened to develop a clinical technical consensus on OPSCC diagno-sis and management tailored to China's specific context.This consensus aims to further enhance and standardize understanding of OPSCC management techniques among relevant healthcare professionals.

Aim To investigate the impact of G pro-tein-coupled estrogen receptor 1(GPER1),also known as GPR30 playing a significant role in the nerv-ous system,on neuronal damage and cognitive dysfunc-tion following epileptic seizures.Methods The pro-tein expression levels of GPER1 and the DNA damage marker γ-H2AX in epileptic rats were assessed using Western blot.The hippocampal neuronal damage and apoptosis in pilocarpine-induced epilepsy models were evaluated using Nissl and TUNEL staining techniques,compared with GPER1 knockdown(GPER1-KD)rats with wild-type(WT)controls.The behavioral activi-ties,including memory and spatial learning,were mo-nitored during the chronic phase of epilepsy using the IntelliCage system.Results Compared to the control group,GPER1 protein expression in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus significantly increased 24 hours post-epilepsy onset.In the GPER1-KD+EP group,hipp-ocampal neuronal damage was more severe,with a sig-nificant increase in apoptotic neurons compared to the WT+EP group.The IntelliCage data revealed that during free exploration,nose contact,position learn-ing,and reverse position learning stages in the GPER1-KD+EP group exhibited fewer visits and a higher error rate than in the WT+EP group.Conclu-sions Deficiency in GPER1 impairs memory and spa-tial learning abilities following epilepsy,potentially due to exacerbated neuronal injury,apoptosis,and inflam-mation.GPER1 represents a promising therapeutic tar-get for mitigating post-epileptic nerve damage and cog-nitive impairment.

Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma(OPSCC)is a malignant tumor originating from the squamous epithelium of the oro-pharyngeal mucosa,accounting for more than 90％of oropharyngeal malignancies.In recent years,human papillomavirus(HPV)infec-tion has become one of the primary etiological factors of oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma.The incidence of HPV-associated oropharyn-geal squamous carcinoma has been rising annually,with a noticeable trend toward younger populations,posing a significant threat to hu-man health.Due to the distinct biological behavior and clinical characteristics of HPV-associated oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma com-pared to its non-HPV-related counterpart,the diagnostic and treatment strategies for oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma have undergone substantial changes.Prevention and screening for oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma are of critical importance.The diagnostic and treat-ment process involves multi-disciplinary collaboration,including oral and maxillofacial surgery,otolaryngology,head and neck surgery,oncology,radiology and pathology.Based on evidence from clinical practice,a comprehensive,integrated diagnostic and therapeutic ap-proach has been established,centered around the concept of"prevention,screening,diagnosis,treatment,and rehabilitation",covering the entire patient lifecycle and providing a valuable reference for clinical practice.

This study was aimed at exploring the mechanism underlying the effects of nitidine chloride against Talaromyces marnef-fei through network pharmacology analysis.We collected NC and TM action targets from various databases;constructed a protein-protein interaction(PPI)network by using common drug and disease targets;and performed KEGG pathway and GO enrichment analy-ses.In vitro cellular experiments were conducted to test the antibacterial ability of NC at various concentrations,qPCR was used to de-tect the mRNA expression of genes in the target pathway,and WB was used to examine the expression of proteins associated with tar-get signaling pathways in cells.We identified 153 target genes for NC and 2 095 target genes for TM,among which 23 targets over-lapped.By integrating the PPI network with KEGG enrichment analysis,we selected key target genes in the MAPK signaling pathway,such as FLT1,FLT3,CD38,and PRF1.The CFU results indicated that NC had favorable antibacterial capability.Moreover,qPCR demonstrated that NC downregulated the mRNA expression of FLT1,FLT3,and RPS6KA3,and upregulated the mRNA expression of MAP3K8.WB findings indicated that NC downregulated the expression of RSK2,VEGF,and FLT3 proteins,and upregulated the ex-pression of MAP3K8 protein.NC may exert its anti-TM effects by downregulating the expression of RSK2,VEGF,and FLT3 proteins,thereby inhibiting MAPK pathway activation.The potential targets and signaling pathways underlying NC's anti-TM action may pro-vide new insights to guide the clinical application of NC.

Objective To construct a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model based on the analytic hierarchy process(AHP)to evaluate the quality of hemodialysis machines.Methods Firstly,the influencing factors for the quality of hemodialysis machines were determined with considerations on the requirements for medical technology assessment of medical devices and the hospital's many years of experience in use,maintenance and management of hemodialysis machines,and the indicators of the evaluation model were set with the general attributes of the product quality as the criterion level and the influencing factors as the sub-criterion level.Secondly,the AHP was used to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze relevant factors to construct a hierarchical judgment matrix,and the quality evaluation indicator weights for hemodylysis machines were determined with the consistency test.Finally,the operational principles of fuzzy mathematics were applied to establishing a fuzzy judgment matrix,and the evaluation results were calculated using Type Ⅳ fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model.Results The constructed fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model included one first-level indicator,seven second-level indicators and 21 third-level indicators.All the first-and second-level indicators passed the consistency tests.The evaluation results obtained with this model were practical and consistent with the hospital's long-term record data on hemodialysis machines.Conclusion The constructed fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model demonstrates a certain degree of scientific rigor for quality assessment of hemodialysis machines and can provide decision-making support for their procurement justification.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(9):81-87]

BACKGROUND:Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes are involved in multiple injury repair processes,and the effects and the specific mechanisms of renal ischemia/reperfusion injury have not been fully elucidated.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the molecular mechanism of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes in the treatment of renal ischemia/reperfusion injury.METHODS:(1) Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were cultured and exosomes were obtained and identified using an exosome extraction kit.(2) The distribution of exosomes in the kidney of mice with renal ischemia/reperfusion injury was examined by intravital fluorescence imaging.(3) Thirty C57/BL6 male mice were divided into five groups according to the random number table method:sham operation group,renal ischemia/reperfusion group,sham operation group+Compound C group,renal ischemia/reperfusion+exosome group (exosome group),and renal ischemia/reperfusion+exosome+Compound C group (exosome+Compound C group),with 6 mice in each group.Except the sham operation group,bilateral renal pedicles were clamped for 45 minutes and a mouse model of renal ischemia/reperfusion injury was established after 24 hours of reperfusion.In sham operation+Compound C group and exosome+Compound C group,AMPK inhibitor Compound C was intraperitoneally injected 30 minutes before model establishment.In the exosome group and exosome+Copmpound C group,exosomes were injected through the tail vein 15 minutes before renal pedicle clipping.The levels of serum creatinine and urea nitrogen,interleukin 6,and tumor necrosis factor α in renal tissue,and the expression of apoptosis-related factors in renal tissue were detected after 24 hours of reperfusion in each group.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosomes had the typical tea tray morphology,with the diameter distribution in the range of 40-160 nm,and expressed the specific marker membrane protein of exosome surface.(2) Murine kidneys after renal ischemia/reperfusion injury were more likely to gather human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosomes compared with the sham operation group.(3) Exosome pretreatment reduced renal injury and the level of renal cell apoptosis in mice treated with renal ischemia/reperfusion injury.Moreover,this protective effect could be reversed by AMPK inhibitors.These findings verify that human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes exerting a protective effect on renal ischemia/reperfusion injury may be related to the activation of the AMPK/YAP1 pathway to antiapoptosis.
