[摘 要] 树突状细胞（DC）是连接固有免疫与适应性免疫的核心枢纽，其功能稳态是介导肿瘤免疫监视的关键。然而，肿瘤微环境（TME）通过营养竞争及免疫抑制代谢产物的累积，驱动DC发生代谢重编程，进而诱导免疫应答功能缺陷。本文系统综述了TME中DC各亚型在三大代谢层面的重塑机制：糖代谢层面，高乳酸微环境通过GPR81信号抑制MHC-Ⅱ类分子表达，削弱传统树突状细胞（cDC）的抗原提呈能力；脂代谢层面，Wnt5a-β-catenin-PPARγ-CPT1A轴介导的脂肪酸氧化促进cDC向免疫抑制表型极化；氨基酸代谢层面，Arg1-IDO1通路的级联激活诱导DC获得耐受表型。针对上述代谢异常，当前干预策略已由单一靶点调控拓展至多模式联合，包括基于脂质纳米颗粒的原位疫苗与mRNA递送系统、代谢-免疫协同阻断，以及代谢状态优化的DC疫苗等。因此，深化对DC代谢检查点的认知，并靶向干预关键代谢检查点，不仅有望逆转免疫抑制微环境、克服治疗耐药，更为开发新一代代谢-免疫联合疗法提供了重要的科学依据与转化策略。

ObjectiveThis paper aims to conduct a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial on the treatment of myelodysplastic syndrome （MDS） with deficiency of both the spleen and kidney and blockage of toxin and blood stasis with an arsenic-containing traditional Chinese medicine compound， by applying the mixed model for repeated measure （MMRM） and the method of stratified composite outcome with win ratio. The analysis includes the assessment of hematological efficacy and the composite outcome evaluation of adverse reactions， so as to more comprehensively assess the therapy of this regimen. MethodsThe MMRM and win ratio methods were used to evaluate the efficacy of a prospective，multi-center，double-blind，randomized controlled study. The blood routine （hemoglobin concentration，neutrophil count， and platelet count） and biochemical indexes （aspartate aminotransferase，alanine aminotransferase，serum creatinine，and serum ferritin） of the patients were detected at the time of enrollment and at the end of each course of treatment in the laboratory department of Xiyuan Hospital. The patients' syndromes at the time of enrollment and after treatment were recorded and scored according to the therapy standard of traditional Chinese medicine for diseases and syndromes. MMRM was used to analyze the blood routine indexes of the experimental group and the control group. This method has the advantages of high data reliability and dynamic efficacy under intervention and time. The win ratio method was used to evaluate the composite outcome of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores and biochemical indexes according to the priority and to verify the clinical safety of arsenic-containing traditional Chinese medicine compound. ResultsThe results of MMRM analysis showed that the hemoglobin concentration of patients in the group with arsenic-containing traditional Chinese medicine compound increased significantly compared with that before treatment in the group，while that in the placebo group decreased significantly （P<0.01）. When compared with that after treatment in the placebo group，the hemoglobin concentration of patients in the group with arsenic-containing traditional Chinese medicine compound increased significantly，and the mean difference of least squares （LS） was statistically significant （P<0.01）. When compared with those before treatment in the group，there were no statistically significant differences in the neutrophil count and platelet count in both groups. After treatment，there were no statistically significant differences in the neutrophil count， platelet count， and the mean difference of LS between the two groups. The analysis results of win ratio showed that the group with arsenic-containing traditional Chinese medicine compound had a significant advantage in the comparison of composite outcomes，with a win ratio （95% CI） of 2.01 （1.24-3.27） （P<0.01），and that the possibility of "winning" in terms of safety was 2.01 times that of the placebo group. The safety advantage of the group with arsenic-containing traditional Chinese medicine compound mainly came from the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores，renal function indexes， and iron reserve capacity indexes，and the number of winning times was less than that of losing times in the comparison of liver function outcomes. ConclusionThe MMRM analysis proves that the arsenic-containing traditional Chinese medicine compound can significantly improve the hemoglobin concentration of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome with refractory cytopenia and multilineage dysplasia （MDS-RCMD） of the type of deficiency of both the spleen and kidney and blockage of toxin and blood stasis. This conclusion is not interfered with by time trends and individual relationships and methodologically improves the credibility of the therapy of the arsenic-containing traditional Chinese medicine compound in treating MDS. Four outcomes are evaluated by the win ratio method，namely traditional Chinese medicine syndromes，liver function，renal function， and iron reserve capacity，proving that the arsenic-containing traditional Chinese medicine compound has the comprehensive advantages of improving the survival quality of the patients and reducing adverse reactions. The win ratio outcome provides clear comparative indexes for the evaluation of adverse reactions，making it easier for regulatory authorities，medical staff， and patients to understand the safety of the arsenic-containing traditional Chinese medicine compound in clinical application.

Meconium is changed from defoliated intestinal villi with apoptosis. A meconium corpuscle is a limited architecture in the meconium at the light microscopic level. In histological and immunohistochemical sections of the abdomen from 40 fetuses at 20–31 weeks of gestation, we found 12 fetuses with meconium and examined the architecture.A solid or loose meconium was seen depending on sites. The solid meconium in the colon and rectum contained numerous spherical or rugby ball-like corpuscles comprising of a core with tightly-packed atrophied cells and a laminar fibrous sheath.The solid meconium surrounded and incorporated villi that maintained the original architecture. The loose meconium was seen not only in the stomach and duodenum but also, depending on specimens, in the colon and rectum. It was composed of a large mucosal fold, a single small villus and/or fragmented epithelia. Notably, these mucosal tissues still contained chromogranin-positive gastrointestinal cells and cytokeratin-positive epithelia. A large ring-like meconium was composed of the entirely circular mucosa or epithelia that seemed to be detached along the muscularis mucosae or the basal lamina.A sheath-like fibrous structure in meconium seemed to originate from the lamina propria and basal lamina of villi. A defoliation of villi with apoptosis seemed difficult to explain a detachment of the entirely circular mucosa or epithelia in large fetuses examined. The latter event might require a specific mechanism such as an in utero intussusception in which a proximal side of the colon was invaginated into the distal lumen.

ObjectiveTo investigate the value of intestinal fatty acid-binding protein （I-FABP） in predicting 6-week mortality in patients with liver cirrhosis after successful endoscopic hemostasis for esophagogastric variceal bleeding （EVB）. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 207 patients with liver cirrhosis who underwent successful endoscopic treatment for EVB （including ligation and sclerotherapy） in The Affiliated Hospital of Yanbian University from September 2020 to June 2025， with the endpoint of 6-week bleeding-related mortality. ELISA was used to measure the serum level of I-FABP on admission， and a stratified analysis was performed based on the quartiles of I-FABP measurements. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups； the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis， Cox regression analysis， and restricted cubic spline （RCS） curve were used to investigate the association between I-FABP and mortality. Machine learning models were used to further quantify the impact of I-FABP on mortality. The integrated Brier score and an integrated cumulative/dynamic area under the curve were used to assess the importance of time-dependent variables， and the receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve was used to assess the performance of the predictive model. ResultsDuring the study， 29 patients （14.0%） died within 6 weeks after successful endoscopic hemostasis， with a median time to death of 16 （8—26） days. The mortality group had a significantly higher serum level of I-FABP than the survival group （Z=-3.731， P<0.001）. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that there was a significant difference in 6-week mortality between the groups of patients based on I-FABP quartiles （χ²=12.78， P=0.005）. The multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that an increase in I-FABP （hazard ratio=1.87， P=0.003） was an independent influencing factor for 6-week mortality. The RCS analysis showed a linear relationship between I-FABP and 6-week mortality （P_non-linear=0.280， P_overall=0.029）. Machine learning models showed that there was a dynamic change in the importance of I-FABP over time， and Brier score loss and the loss of cumulative/dynamic area under the curve after permutation showed that I-FABP was an important variable affecting 6-week mortality rate. ConclusionI-FABP level is independently associated with the risk of 6-week mortality endoscopic hemostasis for EVB in patients with liver cirrhosis， and therefore， it can be used as a potential biomarker for poor short-term prognosis.

Apical microsurgery is accurate and minimally invasive, produces few complications, and has a success rate of more than 90%. However, due to the lack of awareness and understanding of apical microsurgery by dental general practitioners and even endodontists, many clinical problems remain to be overcome. The consensus has gathered well-known domestic experts to hold a series of special discussions and reached the consensus. This document specifies the indications, contraindications, preoperative preparations, operational procedures, complication prevention measures, and efficacy evaluation of apical microsurgery and is applicable to dentists who perform apical microsurgery after systematic training.

Tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) is a prevalent malignancy that afflicts the head and neck area and presents a high incidence of metastasis and invasion. Accurate diagnosis and effective treatment are essential for enhancing the quality of life and the survival rates of TSCC patients. The current treatment modalities for TSCC frequently suffer from a lack of specificity and efficacy. Nanoparticles with diagnostic and photothermal therapeutic properties may offer a new approach for the targeted therapy of TSCC. However, inadequate accumulation of photosensitizers at the tumor site diminishes the efficacy of photothermal therapy (PTT). This study modified gold nanodots (AuNDs) with the TSCC-targeting peptide HN-1 to improve the selectivity and therapeutic effects of PTT. The Au-HN-1 nanosystem effectively targeted the TSCC cells and was rapidly delivered to the tumor tissues compared to the AuNDs. The enhanced accumulation of photosensitizing agents at tumor sites achieved significant PTT effects in a mouse model of TSCC. Moreover, owing to its stable long-term fluorescence and high X-ray attenuation coefficient, the Au-HN-1 nanosystem can be used for fluorescence and computed tomography imaging of TSCC, rendering it useful for early tumor detection and accurate delineation of surgical margins. In conclusion, Au-HN-1 represents a promising nanomedicine for imaging-based diagnosis and targeted PTT of TSCC.

Enamel demineralization, the formation of white spot lesions, is a common issue in clinical orthodontic treatment. The appearance of white spot lesions not only affects the texture and health of dental hard tissues but also impacts the health and aesthetics of teeth after orthodontic treatment. The prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of white spot lesions that occur throughout the orthodontic treatment process involve multiple dental specialties. This expert consensus will focus on providing guiding opinions on the management and prevention of white spot lesions during orthodontic treatment, advocating for proactive prevention, early detection, timely treatment, scientific follow-up, and multidisciplinary management of white spot lesions throughout the orthodontic process, thereby maintaining the dental health of patients during orthodontic treatment.

Intentional tooth replantation (ITR) is an advanced treatment modality and the procedure of last resort for preserving teeth with inaccessible endodontic or resorptive lesions. ITR is defined as the deliberate extraction of a tooth; evaluation of the root surface, endodontic manipulation, and repair; and placement of the tooth back into its original socket. Case reports, case series, cohort studies, and randomized controlled trials have demonstrated the efficacy of ITR in the retention of natural teeth that are untreatable or difficult to manage with root canal treatment or endodontic microsurgery. However, variations in clinical protocols for ITR exist due to the empirical nature of the original protocols and rapid advancements in the field of oral biology and dental materials. This heterogeneity in protocols may cause confusion among dental practitioners; therefore, guidelines and considerations for ITR should be explicated. This expert consensus discusses the biological foundation of ITR, the available clinical protocols and current status of ITR in treating teeth with refractory apical periodontitis or anatomical aberration, and the main complications of this treatment, aiming to refine the clinical management of ITR in accordance with the progress of basic research and clinical studies; the findings suggest that ITR may become a more consistent evidence-based option in dental treatment.

The prevalence of Class III malocclusion varies among different countries and regions. The populations from Southeast Asian countries (Chinese and Malaysian) showed the highest prevalence rate of 15.8%, which can seriously affect oral function, facial appearance, and mental health. As anterior crossbite tends to worsen with growth, early orthodontic treatment can harness growth potential to normalize maxillofacial development or reduce skeletal malformation severity, thereby reducing the difficulty and shortening the treatment cycle of later-stage treatment. This is beneficial for the physical and mental growth of children. Therefore, early orthodontic treatment for Class III malocclusion is particularly important. Determining the optimal timing for early orthodontic treatment requires a comprehensive assessment of clinical manifestations, dental age, and skeletal age, and can lead to better results with less effort. Currently, standardized treatment guidelines for early orthodontic treatment of Class III malocclusion are lacking. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the etiology, clinical manifestations, classification, and early orthodontic techniques for Class III malocclusion, along with systematic discussions on selecting early treatment plans. The purpose of this expert consensus is to standardize clinical practices and improve the treatment outcomes of Class III malocclusion through early orthodontic treatment.
