Radiochemotherapy-induced oral mucositis (OM) is a common oral complication in patients with tumors following head and neck radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Erosion and ulcers are the main features of OM that seriously affect the quality of life of patients and even the progress of tumor treatment. To date, differences in clinical prevention and treatment plans for OM have been noted among doctors of various specialties, which has increased the uncertainty of treatment effects. On the basis of current research evidence, this expert consensus outlines risk factors, clinical manifestations, clinical grading, ancillary examinations, diagnostic basis, prevention and treatment strategies and efficacy indicators for OM. In addition to strategies such as basic oral care, anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents, anti-infective agents, pro-healing agents, and photobiotherapy recommended in previous guidelines, we also emphasize the role of traditional Chinese medicine in OM prevention and treatment. This expert consensus aims to provide references and guidance for dental physicians and oncologists in formulating strategies for OM prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, standardizing clinical practice, reducing OM occurrence, promoting healing, and improving the quality of life of patients.

Objective:The greater tuberosity angle(GTA)and critical shoulder angle(CSA)are commonly referred to as radiographic markers which were used to described morphology of the greater tu-berosity and acromion respectively.At present,most international studies focus on the correlation be-tween the above two parameters and rotator cuff tears(RCTs),and their diagnostic value and risk assess-ment.This study attempts to find out the trend of GTA and CSA changes and risk threshold of RCTs,as well as the protective factors and risk factors.Methods:In this study,130 individuals from May 2019 to December 2020 were recruited.According to Southern California Orthopedic Institute(SCOI)classifica-tion,the individuals were divided into four groups retrospectively:Group A,negative control group;Group B,partial tears(articular side);Group C,partial tears(bursal side);Group D,full-thickness tears.GTA and CSA were measured respectively on true anteroposterior position X-ray of shoulder with arm in neutral rotation and performed by the same trained technician team in single-blind.The correla-tions between RCTs and relevant factors were analyzed.Results:According to the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC),GTA and CSA of RCTs(Groups B,C and D)were 0.736 and 0.673 with 95％confidence interval(CI),the cut-off value of GTA and CSA of RCTs were 70.5° and 39.5° respectively.Comparing with the control group,RCTs groups had significant statistical differences in age and body mass index(BMI)(P＜0.05),especially the full-thickness RCTs(Group D),which was older than Groups A,B and C(P＜0.05,cut-off value:56.5 years old)and shorter than Groups A and B(P＜0.05,cut-off value:1.58 m).Analyzed from scatter plot and regression analysis,there was no linear correlation between GTA and CSA.There were no significant differences in gender,dominant shoulders and smoking between the RCTs groups and the control group(P＞0.05).Conclusion:Larger GTA(＞70.5°)and CSA(＞39.5°)would be highly predictive in diagnosing RCTs without linear cor-relation,and GTA has a higher diagnostic value in contrast.Subacromial impingement and shoulder de-generation occurred before RCTs.Patients with age＞56.5 years and height＜1.58 m were more likely to develop disease of full-thickness RCTs and no statistic differences in weight and BMI.Gender,domi-nant shoulder and smoking were neither risk factors nor protective factors.

In November 23, 2023, a patient with 9 digits traumatic crush injury by machine compression was emergently admitted to the Department of Hand and Microsurgery, Sichuan Modern Hospital. Emergency procedures included amputation the distal stumps and replantation of proximal phalanges of left ring and little fingers. Wounds in both hands were temporarily covered with bone cement. On December 4, 2023, reconstruction of 5 digits were performed. Digital defects were: Type Ⅲ defects of left index and middle fingers and right thumb and index fingers and Type IV defect of right middle finger. All 5 reconstructed digits survived. Subsequent refinements yielded favourable outcomes and all donor toes were preserved completely. At the 14-month follow-up, the reconstructed digits exhibited satisfactory appearance and length without difficulties in daily life and at work.

Objective: To analyze the fluctuations of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and their relationships with cytokines in the peripheral blood of patients undergoing chemotherapy for ovarian cancer (OC). Methods: PROs burden was prospectively measured by the M.D. Anderson Symptom Inventory-Ovarian Cancer (MDASI-OC) at baseline before chemotherapy, on a daily basis during and post-chemotherapy days (PCD) 7, 14, and 20. Cytokines were collected at baseline, days prior to hospital discharge and PCD 20. Pearson correlation was used to explore the associations between PROs and cytokines levels in peripheral blood. Results: The top 8 rated symptoms were compared between the neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) group (n=20) and the postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy (PAC) group (n=7).Before chemotherapy, the mean scores of fatigue and lack of appetite in the NACT group were higher than those in the PAC group. After chemotherapy, pain, nausea, vomiting, disturbed sleep, lack of appetite, and constipation increased to peak during PCD 2–6; while, fatigue and numbness or tingling remained at high levels over PCD 2–13. By PCD 20, disturbed sleep and fatigue showed a significant increase in mean scores, particularly in the NACT group;while, other symptom scores decreased and returned to baseline levels. Additionally, the longitudinal fluctuations in pain, fatigue, and lack of appetite were positively associated with circulating levels of interleukin-6 and interferon gamma (p<0.05). Conclusion MDASI-OC was feasible and adaptable for demonstrating the fluctuations of symptom burden throughout chemotherapy course. Moreover, symptoms changing along with cytokines levels could provide clues for exploring mechanism underlying biochemical etiology.

Objective To investigate the incidence rate,clinical characteristics,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen,China.Methods Led by Shenzhen Children's Hospital,the Shenzhen Neonatal Data Collaboration Network organized 21 institutions to collect 36 cases of neonatal stroke from January 2020 to December 2022.The incidence,clinical characteristics,treatment,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen were analyzed.Results The incidence rate of neonatal stroke in 21 hospitals from 2020 to 2022 was 1/15 137,1/6 060,and 1/7 704,respectively.Ischemic stroke accounted for 75％(27/36);boys accounted for 64％(23/36).Among the 36 neonates,31(86％)had disease onset within 3 days after birth,and 19(53％)had convulsion as the initial presentation.Cerebral MRI showed that 22 neonates(61％)had left cerebral infarction and 13(36％)had basal ganglia infarction.Magnetic resonance angiography was performed for 12 neonates,among whom 9(75％)had involvement of the middle cerebral artery.Electroencephalography was performed for 29 neonates,with sharp waves in 21 neonates(72％)and seizures in 10 neonates(34％).Symptomatic/supportive treatment varied across different hospitals.Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment was performed for 12 neonates(33％,12/36),with a mean score of(32±4)points.The prognosis of 27 neonates was followed up to around 12 months of age,with 44％(12/27)of the neonates having a good prognosis.Conclusions Ischemic stroke is the main type of neonatal stroke,often with convulsions as the initial presentation,involvement of the middle cerebral artery,sharp waves on electroencephalography,and a relatively low neurodevelopment score.Symptomatic/supportive treatment is the main treatment method,and some neonates tend to have a poor prognosis.
