ObjectiveTo explore the application of virtual reality biofeedback training combined with oral localization therapy in dysphagia after oral cancer surgery. MethodsFrom May, 2023 to July, 2024, 86 patients with dysphagia after oral cancer surgery in Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital were randomly divided into control group (n = 43) and experimental group (n = 43). The control group received conventional swallowing function training, while the experimental group added virtual reality biofeedback training combined with oral positioning therapy, for four weeks. The Standardized Swallowing Function Assessment Scale (SSA), Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) and M.D.Anderson Dysphagia Inventory (MDADI) were used for evaluation before intervention, and two weeks, four weeks and eight weeks after intervention. ResultsFor scores of SSA , the main effects of group (F = 150.190, P < 0.001, η²_p = 0.641) and time (F = 230.870, P < 0.001, η²_p = 0.733), as well as the interaction effect (F = 16.910, P < 0.001, η²_p = 0.168) were all significant. For scores of FOIS, the main effects of group (F = 59.601, P < 0.001, η²_p = 0.415) and time (F = 89.464, P < 0.001, η²_p = 0.516), as well as the interaction effect (F = 7.990, P < 0.001, η²_p = 0.087) were all significant. For scores of MDADI, the main effects of group (F = 33.133, P < 0.001, η²_p = 0.283) and time (F = 49.650, P < 0.001, η²_p = 0.371), as well as the interaction effect (F = 3.224, P = 0.023, η²_p = 0.037) were all significant. ConclusionVirtual reality biofeedback training combined with oral localization therapy could improve the swallowing function, oral feeding ability and overall quality of life of patients with dysphagia after oral cancer surgery.

Objective: To characterize longitudinal trajectories of testicular development in boys and breast development in girls, so as to provide reference data for understanding patterns of pubertal sexual maturation. Methods: Based on the Shanghai Pudong New Area Cohort Study on Growth, Development and Health in Children and Adolescents, a baseline survey was conducted in 2020 using a mult stage cluster random sampling method. A total of 2 184 children who completed all follow ups during the primary school period from 13 elementary schools in Pudong New Area,Shanghai,with annual follow ups during 2021-2025. Testicular volume and Tanner stage of breast development were assessed by professional physicians using standardized visual inspection and palpation. The age distribution of testicular volume and breast development was fitted by using cumulative link mixed models and Turnbull s nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation method. Results: Median ages for testicular volumes of 2, 3, 4 and 5 mL in boys were 7.07, 9.24, 10.29, and 11.57 years old, respectively. Median ages for Tanner breast stages Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ, and Ⅴ in girls were 8.55 , 10.17, 11.18, and 13.78 years old, respectively. Based on overweight and obesity, stratified analysis showed that earlier pubertal onset among overweight/obesity children, and the key milestones for pubertal initiation were testicular volume reaching 4 mL in boys and breast Tanner II in girls for 10.29, 10.83; 8.18, 9.00 years. Conclusion Overweight and obesity are associated with earlier pubertal initiation,but there are certain gender and developmental stage specific patterns.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the specific risks and long-term toxicities of four BCR-ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors （TKIs）（imatinib， dasatinib， nilotinib， and bosutinib） in pediatric patients with hematological malignancies. METHODS Adverse drug event （ADE） reports submitted to the the United States FDA Adverse Event Reporting System （FAERS） from January 2012 to December 2024， with imatinib， dasatinib， nilotinib， and bosutinib as the primary suspect drugs， were collected. Data mining was performed using the reporting odds ratio method and proportional reporting ratio method. ADE terms were classified and summarized by system organ class （SOC） and preferred term （PT） according to the Medical Dictionary for Drug Regulatory Activities （MedDRA， version 26.0）. Meanwhile， the ADE reports were divided by age into the adult group （≥18 years） and the pediatric group （＜18 years） to compare the differences in ADE between the two groups. RESULTS A total of 1 512 pediatric ADE reports were included： 993 for imatinib， 391 for dasatinib， 112 for nilotinib， and 16 for bosutinib. Among the reported ADEs， the patients were mainly aged 12-＜18 years； the reports mainly originated from the United States， France， and Japan； and the primary indications were chronic myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia. A total of 5 256 ADE signals were mined， among which 235 were positive signals， involving 1 103 PT across 27 SOC. The top five PT ranked by the number of positive signals were nausea， febrile neutropenia， abdominal pain， neutropenia， and anemia. The top two SOC were general disorders and administration site conditions， and gastrointestinal disorders. Compared with the adult group， the pediatric group had relatively higher proportions of events related to infections and infestations as well as blood and lymphatic system disorders. Pediatric long-term toxicity signals primarily included growth retardation， accompanied by signals related to endocrine system abnormalities and bone metabolism abnormalities. Specific signals included imatinib-associated septic shock， dasatinib-associated chylothorax， and nilotinib-associated electrocardiographic QT interval prolongation. CONCLUSIONS When pediatric patients use BCR-ABL1 TKIs， priority monitoring of infection risk and hematologic parameters is required， along with long-term follow-up of height， endocrine， and bone metabolism parameters. Targeted screening and management of drug-specific signals should be performed to ensure the long-term safety of pediatric medication.

Metabolites produced as intermediaries or end-products of microbial metabolism provide crucial signals for health and diseases, such as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). These metabolites include products of the bacterial metabolism of dietary substrates, modification of host molecules (such as bile acids [BAs], trimethylamine-N-oxide, and short-chain fatty acids), or products directly derived from bacteria. Recent studies have provided new insights into the association between MASLD and the risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD). Furthermore, alterations in microbiota composition and metabolite profiles, notably altered BAs, have been described in studies investigating the association between MASLD and the risk of CKD. This narrative review discusses alterations of specific classes of metabolites, BAs, fructose, vitamin D, and microbiota composition that may be implicated in the link between MASLD and CKD.

Objective:To investigate the regulatory effects of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) on functional connectivity (FC) of thalamic subregions in patients with premenstrual syndrome (PMS).Methods:This study was a cross-sectional investigation. Clinical, laboratory, and imaging data were retrospectively collected from 56 PMS patients (PMS group) and 66 healthy controls (control group) recruited from various universities and hospitals in Nanning between November 2021 and June 2024. Resting-state functional MRI (fMRI) data and fMRI data during taVNS immediate stimulation (2 Hz, 25 Hz) were acquired from subjects during their late luteal phase. Using thalamic subregions (anterior thalamic nucleus, lateral nucleus, ventral nucleus, medial nucleus, central nucleus, posterior nucleus) as seeds, two-sample t-tests or paired t-tests were employed to analyze alterations in thalamic subregion FC in PMS patients and the regulatory effects of taVNS on these changes. Independent samples t-test were used to compare the differences in clinical and laboratory indicators between the PMS group and the control group. The relationship between taVNS regulation of thalamic subregion FC in PMS patients and thalamic internal functional connectivity were analyzed using mediation effect analysis. Results:Compared to the control group, patients in the PMS group showed increased scores on the Daily Record of Severity of Problems, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, Self-Rating Depression Scale, Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale 17, and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale 14 during the late luteal phase ( P<0.05). At baseline, PMS patients exhibited higher FC between the left thalamic lateral nucleus and the left insula, and lower FC between the left medial nucleus, posterior nucleus, and ventral nucleus of the thalamus and the right middle frontal gyrus (MFG) compared to the control group (GRF corrected, voxel-level P<0.001, cluster-level P<0.05). During 2 Hz taVNS immediate stimulation in PMS group, FC between the left thalamic medial nucleus, posterior nucleus, ventral nucleus and the right MFG, as well as the FC between the left thalamic ventral nucleu and the left MFG increased compared to baseline levels; meanwhile, FC between the left thalamic posterior nucleus, ventral nucleus and the left insula decreased compared to baseline levels (GRF corrected, voxel-level P<0.001, cluster-level P<0.05). During 25 Hz taVNS immediate stimulation, the FC between the left thalamic ventral nucleus and the right MFG decreased compared to the baseline level (GRF corrected, voxel-level P<0.001, cluster-level P<0.05). Mediation effect analysis showed that the FC between the left thalamic posterior nucleus and the left lateral nucleus mediated part of the association between the FC of the left lateral thalamic nucleus-left insula and the FC of the left ventral thalamic nucleus-left putamen/insula; there were significant direct effects between the FC of the left lateral thalamic nucleus-the left posterior nucleus and FC of the left lateral thalamic nucleus-the left insula, as well as between the FC of the left ventral thalamic nucleus-the left MFG and FC of the left ventral thalamic nucleus-the right MFG. Conclusions:taVNS can modulate abnormal FC of the left thalamic subregions in PMS patients, restoring it toward normalization. The regulatory effects of 2 Hz stimulation are more pronounced than those of 25 Hz stimulation. This modulation primarily operates through two pathways: the left thalamic lateral nucleus-left insula-left thalamic ventral nucleus pathway and the left MFG-left thalamic ventral nucleus-right MFG.

Objective To explore the status and trajectory of urinary incontinence in patients with bladder cancer after orthotopic neobladder surgery,and analyze the characteristics of different trajectory categories,to provide references for the intervention and management of urinary incontinence in patients after orthotopic neobladder surgery.Methods A prospective study design was adopted,and the convenience sampling was used to select 142 eligible patients who underwent in orthotopic neobladder surgery in a tertiary hospital from January 2019 to August 2022.Demographic and clinical data of the patients were collected.The continence status of patients was evaluated by the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form(ICI-Q-SF)at 1 month after surgery,3 months after surgery,6 months after surgery and 1 year after surgery.Additionally,postoperative physical condition scores,pelvic floor muscle training,and timed urination information were collected.The Group-Based Trajectory Model was used to identify the development trajectory of urinary incontinence,and the logistic regression was conducted to identify influencing factors of urinary incontinence trajectories.Results 142 cases were included.There are 3 distinct daytime and nocturnal incontinence trajectory groups that were respectively identified:the significantly improved group(21.83％,29.58％),the slowly alleviated group(52.82％,48.59％),and the risk fluctuation group(25.35％,21.83％).Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that age,preservation of neurovascular bundles,and adherence to timed voiding were factors significantly influencing urinary incontinence trajectory categories(P＜0.05).Conclusion The trajectory of urinary incontinence in patients undergoing orthotopic neobladder surgery showed an overall improvement trend within a year,with group differences.Clinical attention should be paid to the dynamic evaluation of postoperative urinary incontinence in older,unreserved nerves,and those who did not adhere to scheduled urination,and a phased matching postoperative rehabilitation plan should be developed to improve the urinary control level of patients.

Objective To investigate the relationship of serum programmed cell death 4(PDCD4)and a disintegrin and metalloprotease 10(ADAM10)levels with short-term prognosis in elderly patients with large artery atherosclerosis(LAA)-related acute cerebral infarction(AIS).Methods A total of 122 elderly patients with LAA-related AIS admitted in Nanyang Second People's Hos-pital during April 2022 and April 2024 were retrospectively enrolled and served as observation group.According to their neurological function,they were categorized into mild,moderate and se-vere subgroups(29,68 and 25 cases,respectively),and based on their prognosis,they were as-signed into good and poor prognosis subgroups(72 and 50 cases,respectively).Another 125 indi-viduals taking physical examination in above hospital during the same period were included as the control group.ELISA was applied to detect serum PDCD4 and ADAM10 levels.Multivariate logis-tic regression analysis was employed to investigate the relationship of above two indicators with short-term prognosis of LAA-related AIS patients.ROC curves were plotted to analyze the predic-tive value of the indicators for short-term prognosis of the patients.Results The serum PDCD4 and ADAM10 levels were significantly higher in the observation group than the control group(P＜0.01),in the moderate and severe subgroups than the mild subgroups(P＜0.05),and in the severe than the moderate subgroups(P＜0.05).Larger proportions of severe neurologic deficit and hypertension,and higher Hcy level were observed in the poor than the good prognosis sub-groups(P＜0.01).PDCD4 and ADAM10 were correlated with poor short-term prognosis in pa-tients with LAA-related AIS(OR=2.759,95％CI:1.479-5.146,P=0.001;OR=2.818,95％CI:1.559-5.093,P=0.001).The AUC value of PDCD4 and ADAM10 alone and their combination in predicting poor short-term prognosis was 0.840,0.864,and 0.935,respectively,and the combina-tion showed better predictive performance than alone(Z=2.687,2.008,P＜0.05).Conclusion Serum PDCD4 and ADAM10 levels are higher in patients with LAA-related AIS.Their combina-tion showed good predictive efficacy for poor short-term prognosis of these patients.

Objective To understand the epidemiological characteristics of road traffic accident injuries in Beijing can provide a theoretical basis for improving the pre-hospital emergency service capabilities and levels,and increasing patient survival rates while reducing disability,mortality rates.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical records of 9207 patients who made pre-hospital emergency calls due to road traffic accident injuries at the Beijing Emergency Medical Center in 2023 to understand the patients' age,gender,injury time,injury location,injury degree and other characteristics.Results Traumatic diseases ranked first in the classification of emergency medical conditions in Beijing.Among them,road traffic accidents account for 37％.The ratio of male to female patients was 1.32∶1.The largest number of patients were aged 31-40,accounting for nearly 25％.The proportion of underage patients and those aged 71 and above was 12.16％.The differences in gender and age distribution were statistically significant,while the differences in gender distribution among different age groups were not statistically significant.Road traffic accident injuries occured most frequently in September and least in January.There were more cases in summer and autumn,and fewer in winter and spring.The most common injury sites in road traffic accidents were limbs/skin and head and neck,accounting for 81.06％.The patients with moderate severity of injuries were the most numerous,accounting for 85.29％.Conclusion To avoid road traffic accidents,prevention should be the priority.It is necessary to strengthen the joint governance of multiple departments and minimize the occurrence of road traffic accident from the source.Pre-hospital emergency care must focus on key populations and key seasons,strengthen professional skills training and resource allocation,ensure efficient and smooth connection between pre-hospital and in-hospital care.Popularize and publicize the importance of self-rescue and mutual rescue,promote first aid knowledge and skills training for the public,and create a social atmosphere where"rescue is right beside us".

With the rapid development of competitive sports, the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is on the rise. Such injuries may shorten athletes′ career and lead to other long-term adverse consequences. Although athletes generally recover well after ACL reconstruction, many still struggle to return to their pre-injury performance levels. Advances in the understanding of ACL anatomy and injury mechanisms, along with the evolution of surgical techniques and rehabilitation methods, have provided more individualized and tailored options for athletes following ACL injuries. However, there is currently no consensus in China regarding surgical and rehabilitation strategies for competitive athletes aiming to return to sports after ACL injuries. To this end, the Sports Medicine Committee of the Chinese Research Hospital Association and the Editorial Board of the Chinese Journal of Trauma jointly formulated the Expert consensus on surgical treatment and rehabilitation for competitive sports athletes returning to sports after anterior cruciate ligament injury ( version 2025), and presented 14 recommendations covering surgical indications, preoperative rehabilitation, surgical timing, surgical strategies and postoperative rehabilitation strategies, aiming to improve the surgical treatment and rehabilitation system for ACL injuries in competitive athletes and facilitate their return to high-level sports performance after injury.

Postoperative infection of internal fixation of closed fractures the lower limbs in adults represents a devastating complication, characterized by diagnostic challenges, prolonged treatment duration and high disability rates. Current management of these infections faces multiple challenges, such as difficulties in early accurate diagnosis, and various controversies about the treatment plan, leading to poor overall diagnosis and treatment results. To address these issues, based on evidence-based medicine and principles with emphasis on scientific rigor, clinical applicability and innovation, the Trauma Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Orthopedics Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Trauma Orthopedics and Polytrauma Group of the Resuscitation and Emergency Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association have collaboratively organized a panel of relevant experts to develop the Guideline for diagnosis and treatment of infection after internal fixation of closed lower limb fractures in adults ( version 2025). The guideline proposed 10 recommendations, aiming to provide a foundation for standardized diagnosis and treatment of postoperative infection in adults with closed lower limb fractures.
