Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a common head and neck malignancy. Approximately 50% to 60% of patients with OSCC are diagnosed at a locally advanced stage (clinical staging III-IVa). Even with comprehensive and sequential treatment primarily based on surgery, the 5-year overall survival rate remains below 50%, and patients often suffer from postoperative functional impairments such as difficulties with speaking and swallowing. Programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) inhibitors are increasingly used in the neoadjuvant treatment of locally advanced OSCC and have shown encouraging efficacy. However, clinical practice still faces key challenges, including the definition of indications, optimization of combination regimens, and standards for efficacy evaluation. Based on the latest research advances worldwide and the clinical experience of the expert group, this expert consensus systematically evaluates the application of PD-1 inhibitors in the neoadjuvant treatment of locally advanced OSCC, covering combination strategies, treatment cycles and surgical timing, efficacy assessment, use of biomarkers, management of special populations and immune related adverse events, principles for immunotherapy rechallenge, and function preservation strategies. After multiple rounds of panel discussion and through anonymous voting using the Delphi method, the following consensus statements have been formulated: 1) Neoadjuvant therapy with PD-1 inhibitors can be used preoperatively in patients with locally advanced OSCC. The preferred regimen is a PD-1 inhibitor combined with platinum based chemotherapy, administered for 2-3 cycles. 2) During the efficacy evaluation of neoadjuvant therapy, radiographic assessment should follow the dual criteria of Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 and immune RECIST (iRECIST). After surgery, systematic pathological evaluation of both the primary lesion and regional lymph nodes is required. For combination chemotherapy regimens, PD-L1 expression and combined positive score need not be used as mandatory inclusion or exclusion criteria. 3) For special populations such as the elderly (≥ 70 years), individuals with stable HIV viral load, and carriers of chronic HBV/HCV, PD-1 inhibitors may be used cautiously under the guidance of a multidisciplinary team (MDT), with close monitoring for adverse events. 4) For patients with a poor response to neoadjuvant therapy, continuation of the original treatment regimen is not recommended; the subsequent treatment plan should be adjusted promptly after MDT assessment. Organ transplant recipients and patients with active autoimmune diseases are not recommended to receive neoadjuvant PD-1 inhibitor therapy due to the high risk of immune related activation. Rechallenge is generally not advised for patients who have experienced high risk immune related adverse events such as immune mediated myocarditis, neurotoxicity, or pneumonitis. 5) For patients with a good pathological response, individualized de escalation surgery and function preservation strategies can be explored. This consensus aims to promote the standardized, safe, and precise application of neoadjuvant PD-1 inhibitor strategies in the management of locally advanced OSCC patients.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of the medical-community linkage model on activities of daily living, psychological status and motor function of stroke patients in the community. MethodsA total of 60 stroke patients admitted to two community health service centers and their affiliated stations in Fengtai District, Beijing, from January, 2024 to August, 2025 were enrolled and randomly divided into control group (n = 30) and intervention group (n = 30). The control group received routine medicine, dietary care and rehabilitation management, while the intervention group underwent rehabilitation with the medical-community linkage model, for twelve weeks. They were assessed with modified Barthel Index (MBI), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) before and after intervention. ResultsAfter intervention, the MBI, HAMA, HAMD and FMA scores of patients improved in both groups (|t| > 5.599, P < 0.001), and improved more in the intervention group than in the control group (P < 0.05), except MBI. The HAMA and HAMD scores of family members decreased in both groups (|t| > 10.333, P < 0.001), and decreased more in the intervention group than in the control group (t > 5.681, P < 0.001). ConclusionThe medical-community linkage model can further improve the motor function of stroke patients in community, as well as the psychological status of both patients and their family members.

In recent years, with the clinical application of minimally invasive surgical techniques and comprehensive preoperative treatment, the survival rate of locally advanced esophageal cancer has significantly improved. However, the treatment of metastatic esophagogastric cancer still relies mainly on systemic therapy, and immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy has become a first-line treatment option, prolonging the survival of patients with metastatic esophageal cancer. Oligometastatic esophageal cancer is expected to bring survival benefits through systemic therapy combined with local treatment. The 2024 European clinical practice guidelines for oligometastatic esophagogastric cancer have been officially released, which standardize the definition, diagnosis, and treatment of oligometastatic esophageal cancer for further prospective studies. The authors interpret this guideline, especially by reviewing the clinical evidence of oligometastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, to provide reference for the diagnosis and treatment of oligometastatic esophageal cancer in China.

With the increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents in China, pediatric metabolic syndrome has emerged as a significant public health challenge. The Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) theory underscores the critical influence of early environmental factors on lifelong metabolic health. Consequently, maternal nutritional status and physical activity during pregnancy have become key modifiable factors that have attracted considerable attention in recent years. Research indicates exposure to a maternal high-fat diet (HFD) during pregnancy has long-term effects on offspring health, which may be transmitted through placental transit disorder, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Similarly, a high-protein diet (HPD) during pregnancy exhibits a dose- and time-dependent biphasic effect: excessive intake may lead to fetal growth restriction and an increased risk of preterm birth, whereas moderate supplementation may instead reduce the susceptibility of offspring to obesity. Interestingly, caloric restriction (CR) during pregnancy presents a double-edged sword: while it may impair the development of metabolic organs in offspring, moderate CR in metabolically compromised mothers can ameliorate maternal metabolic dysfunction and reprogram oocyte DNA methylation, significantly lowering the risk of metabolic disorders in offspring. Notably, metabolic abnormalities induced by a low-protein diet (LPD) during pregnancy demonstrate lifecycle-accumulative effects and transgenerational inheritance, with offspring exhibiting obesity phenotypes during weaning, insulin resistance in adulthood, and hepatic decompensation in old age, mediated through oocyte epigenetic reprogramming. Additionally, maintaining an optimal micronutrient balance is crucial for the metabolic homeostasis of offspring, as both deficiency and excess can lead to detrimental outcomes. Maternal exercise has been established as a safe and effective non-pharmacological intervention that confers multigenerational metabolic benefits through diverse biological pathways. Maternal metabolic dysregulation represents a critical determinant of offspring metabolic disorders. Regular exercise during gestation exerts protective effects by attenuating maternal systemic inflammation and reducing the incidence of pregnancy-related complications, thereby effectively mitigating fetal overgrowth and metabolic dysfunction. This dual benefit for both mother and offspring underscores the pivotal role of gestational physical activity in promoting long-term metabolic health. The placenta, serving as the exclusive interface for maternal-fetal communication, mediates exercise-induced metabolic programming through enhanced secretion of key regulatory factors (including SOD3, Apelin, ADPN, and Irisin) and promotes the development of vascular networks, collectively optimizing nutrient transport efficiency. The intrauterine period represents a crucial window for epigenetic reprogramming, during which maternal exercise modulates DNA methylation patterns of critical metabolic genes (e.g., Ppargc-1α, Prdm16, Klf4, and Slc23a2) in offspring, thereby enhancing their capacity to resist metabolic disorders. Notably, the regulatory effects of maternal exercise extend beyond the gestational period. Postnatally, exercise-induced modifications in the bioactive components of breast milk and gut microbiota composition contribute to the sustained maintenance of metabolic homeostasis in offspring, establishing a continuum of metabolic protection from prenatal to postnatal stages. This review explores the potential of maternal combined nutrition-exercise interventions, suggesting that such strategies may synergistically enhance transgenerational health benefits through interactions within the metabolic-epigenetic network, thereby outperforming single interventions. Additionally, it examines current research limitations, including controversies surrounding transgenerational mechanisms, sex-specific responses, and undefined dynamic thresholds, while providing directions for future investigations. These findings pave the way for a theoretical foundation for early-life health interventions, potentially offering a more effective strategy for combatting intergenerational metabolic disorders.

Objective:To explore the value and clinical significance of percutaneous CO 2 monitoring in non-invasive positive pressureventilator in the treatment of severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children. Methods:Retrospective analysis was conducted on 38 children with severe OSA, who were treated in Henan Children′s Hospital from August 2023 to December 2024. All of the enrolled children were diagnosed by polysomnography(PSG), treated with non-invasive positive pressure ventilator (NPPV) according to the standard treatment plan, and continuously monitored with TcpCO 2. Arterial blood gas was analyzed before and after pressure titration and TcpCO 2 changes were compared between awake and sleep with arterial blood gas PaCO 2. The sleep parameters, parameters related to arterial blood gas, and the relationship between TcpCO 2 and alveolar hypoventilation in children were analyzed. The cut-off value of alveolar hypoventilation factors were estimated. Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS 27.0 software. Results:(1)The difference between awake TcpCO 2 and sleep TcpCO 2 was statistically significant[(42.52±3.56)mmHg vs.(51.09±4.07)mmHg, P<0.001), and the difference between sleep TcpCO 2 and morning PaCO 2 was statistically significant[(51.09±4.07)mmHg vs. (40.83±5.34)mmHg, P<0.001]. (2) There was no significant difference in related indicators among different gender children, but the difference in BMI values between preschool and school age children was significant[(18.03±4.96)kg/m 2vs.(25.21±5.25)kg/m 2, t=-4.08, P<0.001]. (3) Obstructive apnea hypopnea index(OAHI), oxygen desaturation index (ODI), and TcpCO 2 were independent risk factors for alveolar hypopnea, but there was no correlation between BMI and whether alveolar hypoventilation.(4).OAHI, ODI, and TcpCO 2 were predictive of the presence of alveolar hypoventilation. When the OAHI exceeded 54.7events/h, ODI exceeded 72.1 events/h, and TcpCO 2 exceeded 56.5 mmHg, the children were more likely to have alveolar hypoventilation. Conclusion:Transcutaneous carbon dioxide, OAHI and ODI can effectively predict whether children have alveolar hypoventilation, which is helpful for clinical treatment.
