With the increasing proportion of human papilloma virus(HPV)infection in the pathogenic factors of oro-pharyngeal cancer,a series of changes have occurred in the surgical treatment.While the treatment mode has been im-proved,there are still many problems,including the inconsistency between diagnosis and treatment modes,the lack of popularization of reconstruction technology,the imperfect post-treatment rehabilitation system,and the lack of effective preventive measures.Especially in terms of treatment mode for early oropharyngeal cancer,there is no unified conclu-sion whether it is surgery alone or radiotherapy alone,and whether robotic minimally invasive surgery has better func-tional protection than radiotherapy.For advanced oropharyngeal cancer,there is greater controversy over the treatment mode.It is still unclear whether to adopt a non-surgical treatment mode of synchronous chemoradiotherapy or induction chemotherapy combined with synchronous chemoradiotherapy,or a treatment mode of surgery combined with postopera-tive chemoradiotherapy.In order to standardize the surgical treatment of oropharyngeal cancer in China and clarify the indications for surgical treatment of oropharyngeal cancer,this expert consensus,based on the characteristics and treat-ment status of oropharyngeal cancer in China and combined with the international latest theories and practices,forms consensus opinions in multiple aspects of preoperative evaluation,surgical indication determination,primary tumor re-section,neck lymph node dissection,postoperative defect repair,postoperative complication management prognosis and follow-up of oropharyngeal cancer patients.The key points include:① Before the treatment of oropharyngeal cancer,the expression of P16 protein should be detected to clarify HPV status;② Perform enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the maxillofacial region before surgery to evaluate the invasion of oropharyngeal cancer and guide precise surgical resec-tion of oropharyngeal cancer.Evaluating mouth opening and airway status is crucial for surgical approach decisions and postoperative risk prediction;③ For oropharyngeal cancer patients who have to undergo major surgery and cannot eat for one to two months,it is recommended to undergo percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy before surgery to effectively improve their nutritional intake during treatment;④ Early-stage oropharyngeal cancer patients may opt for either sur-gery alone or radiation therapy alone.For intermediate and advanced stages,HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer general-ly prioritizes radiation therapy,with concurrent chemotherapy considered based on tumor staging.Surgical treatment is recommended as the first choice for HPV unrelated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma(including primary and re-current)and recurrent HPV related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma after radiotherapy and chemotherapy;⑤ For primary exogenous T1-2 oropharyngeal cancer,direct surgery through the oral approach or da Vinci robotic sur-gery is preferred.For T3-4 patients with advanced oropharyngeal cancer,it is recommended to use temporary mandibu-lectomy approach and lateral pharyngotomy approach for surgery as appropriate;⑥ For cT1-2N0 oropharyngeal cancer patients with tumor invasion depth＞3 mm and cT3-4N0 HPV unrelated oropharyngeal cancer patients,selective neck dissection of levels ⅠB to Ⅳ is recommended.For cN+HPV unrelated oropharyngeal cancer patients,therapeutic neck dissection in regions Ⅰ-Ⅴ is advised;⑦ If PET-CT scan at 12 or more weeks after completion of radiation shows intense FDG uptake in any node,or imaging suggests continuous enlargement of lymph nodes,the patient should undergo neck dissection;⑧ For patients with suspected extracapsular invasion preoperatively,lymph node dissection should include removal of surrounding muscle and adipose connective tissue;⑨ The reconstruction of oropharyngeal cancer defects should follow the principle of reconstruction steps,with priority given to adjacent flaps,followed by distal pedicled flaps,and finally free flaps.The anterolateral thigh flap with abundant tissue can be used as the preferred flap for large-scale postoperative defects.

Objective:To explore the effect of epalrestat combined with calcium dobesilate on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and oxidative stress in diabetes patients with peripheral neuropathy.Methods:In a retrospective analysis, 92 patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy were admitted to the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism Hospital of Bozhou People’s Hospital from Jun. 2018 to Jun. 2021, which were divided into observation group and control group according to the different treatment methods, with 46 cases in each group. The control group were treated with epalrestat. On this basis, the observation group were given calcium dobesilate combined treatment. The two groups were compared in terms of the Michigan diabetes neuropathy score (MDNS) Michigan neuropathy screening instrument (MNSI) score, oxidative stress reaction [serum superoxide dismutase (SOD), reduced glutathione (GSH) ], clinical efficacy, complications and adverse reactions Using t-test and chi square test.Result:After treatment, the MDNS and MNSI scores of both groups decreased, and the observation group [ (23.49±3.73), (8.49±1.97) ] were lower than the control group [ (28.49±3.85), (11.53±2.28) ] ( t=8.337, 6.843, P<0.05) ; After treatment, the levels of SOD and GSH in both groups increased compared to those before treatment, and the observation group [ (38.96±4.89), (89.79±6.92) ] were higher than the control group those [ (36.42±4.61), (86.74±6.20) ] ( t=2.563, 2.226, P=0.012, 0.028) ; The clinical efficacy of the observation group was higher than that of the control group ( Z=1.592, P=0.042) ; The incidence of complications in the observation group after 1 year was significantly lower than that in the control group ( χ2=4.389, P=0.036) ; The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was slightly lower than that in the control group ( χ2=0.155, P=0.694) . Conclusion:Epalrestat combined with calcium dobesilate is effective in the treatment of diabetes peripheral neuropathy, can effectively reduce complications, and has high treatment safety, which is worthy of clinical application.

Objective:To investigate the anatomical basis for the preparation of the profunda artery perforator flap (PAPF) in the posteromedial femoral region and its application in the reconstruction of oral and maxillofacial defects.Methods:Six lower limbs of Chinese adult cadavers were micro-surgically dissected. CT angiography (CTA) data of bilateral lower limbs of 6 patients was also collected retrospectively. The number, external diameter, pedicle length, and distribution of perforators in the posteromedial femoral region were recorded from the specimens and CTA data. Meanwhile, 10 patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Stomatology, Nanjing Medical University from August 2018 to June 2021 were treated with the PAPF. At each follow-up, contour and function of recipient and donor site, as well as swallowing and speech function were evaluated.Results:A total of 19 profunda artery perforator were identified in 6 lower limb specimens. The outer diameter at the beginning of the source artery was (2.34±0.25) mm and the total length of the pedicle was (11.12±1.06) cm. CTA data analysis of 12 legs identified 15 perforators of profunda artery in the posteromedial region. Eleven perforators were septocutaneous, including 2 perforators with a common trunk, while the remaining 4 perforators were musculocutaneous. As for different patterns of perforators (septocutaneous perforators, musculocutaneous perforators and perforators with a common trunk), the longitudinal distance to the pubic tubercle was (19.95±2.43), (21.84±2.54) and (19.48±0.55) cm respectively. The horizontal distance to the posterior edge of gracilis was (3.54±1.10), (3.72±0.30) and (3.85±1.48) cm, respectively. The initial diameters of perforators was (2.4±0.4), (2.6±0.6) and 1.9 mm respectively. Ten cases of the profunda artery perforator flaps survived successfully after operation. The flap sizes ranged from 8 cm×6 cm to 12 cm×7 cm. The patients were evaluated at 1, 3 and 6 months, and with 6 months interval ever since. During the follow-up, the shape of the recipient site was ideal, and the swallowing and language functions were not significantly affected. There was only linear scar in the donor area, and the function of the thigh was basically normal.Conclusions:PAPF possessed a good anatomic stability, suitable vascular pedicle length and diameter, minor influence to the donor area, sufficient amount tissue with good quality. It is an ideal choice for head and neck reconstruction.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effect of different prone position ventilation (PPV) on patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) at high altitude.Methods:The severe ARDS patients who met the Berlin standard admitted to the department of intensive care unit (ICU) of Qinghai Provincial People's Hospital from January 2017 to January 2020 were enrolled. The patients with classic PPV treatment (i.e. alternate prone supine position, about 16 hours per day) were included in the discontinuous PPV group; the patients with modified PPV treatment (i.e. alternate left and right prone positions 20°-30°, every 4 hours and continuous treatment for 24 hours per day) were included in the continuous PPV group. The oxygenation index (PaO 2/FiO 2), mechanics of breathing, ventilator parameters before treatment and 72 hours after treatment, and mechanical ventilation time, the length of ICU stay, and related complications between the two groups were analyzed. Results:Eighteen cases were treated with continuous PPV and 20 cases were treated with discontinuous PPV. There were no significant differences in gender, age, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ), PaO 2/FiO 2, lung compliance, driving pressure (ΔP) and positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) before treatment between the two groups. Compared with before treatment, PaO 2/FiO 2 in discontinuous PPV group and continuous PPV group was increased significantly after 72-hour treatment [mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 99.7±15.4 vs. 55.5±6.3, 121.8±25.3 vs. 55.1±7.1, both P < 0.05], lung compliance was improved significantly (mL/cmH 2O: 36.8±2.4 vs. 28.0±2.0, 43.4±6.7 vs. 27.7±2.1, both P < 0.05), and ΔP was decreased significantly [cmH 2O (1 cmH 2O = 0.098 kPa): 10.5 (10.0, 12.0) vs. 13.0 (12.3, 14.0), 10.0 (8.0, 12.0) vs. 13.0 (12.0, 14.0), both P < 0.05], PEEP was also decreased [cmH 2O: 12 (12, 14) vs. 14 (13, 14), 10 (8, 10) vs. 14 (12, 15), both P < 0.05], and the indexes in continuous PPV group were improved more significantly than those in discontinuous PPV group [PaO 2/FiO 2 (mmHg): 121.8±25.3 vs. 99.7±15.4, lung compliance (mL/cmH 2O): 43.4±6.7 vs. 36.8±2.4, ΔP (cmH 2O): 10.0 (8.0, 12.0) vs. 10.5 (10.0, 12.0), PEEP (cmH 2O): 10 (8, 10) vs. 12 (12, 14), all P < 0.05]. The duration of mechanical ventilation and the length of ICU stay in the continuous PPV group were significantly shorter than those in the intermittent PPV group [days: 6.0 (5.0, 7.3) vs. 8.0 (7.0, 9.0), 9.7±1.5 vs. 12.1±2.2, both P < 0.01]. During the PPV treatment, there were 3 cases of cheek skin damage and 2 cases of ear skin damage in the continuous PPV group, and 3 cases of facial skin damage in the intermittent PPV group. There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups ( χ2 = 0.321, P = 0.571). All patients were repaired normally after PPV, without adverse consequences. Conclusion:Continuous PPV is more effective than discontinuous PPV in the treatment of severe ARDS patients at high altitude, and the related complications are did not increased in prolonged time of PPV.

Objective:To investigate the current practice environment of male nurses in Qinghai province, and understand the professional environment and turnover intention of male nurses, provide ideas and theoretical basis for continuous improvement of the working environment of male nurses in hospitals.Methods:From September to October 2020, the practice environment and turnover intention of male nurses in Qinghai Province were investigated by using the method of convenience sampling and using the general data questionnaire, the Nurse Practice Environment Assessment Scale and the turnover intention table.Results:A total of 155 registered male nurses in Qinghai Province participated in this survey, and the overall evaluation score of the practicing environment of nurses in Qinghai Province was (74.38±22.63) points, among which the highest score was that nurses could write nursing records in time (85.24±20.99) points, and the lowest score was that nurses had the opportunity to participate in the internal management of the hospital (55.03±30.55) points. The total score of resignation intention was (14.34±4.35) points.Conclusion:The overall evaluation of the practicing environment of male nurses in Qinghai Province is fair, and their turnover intention is high. Nursing managers should attach importance to the cultivation of male nurses' feelings towards hospitals and professions, so as to reduce their turnover intention and stabilize the nursing team of male nurses.

Objective:To investigate the variation of CD4 + /CD8 + ratio and related influencing factors after receiving antiviral treatment for HIV/AIDS in Shandong province. Methods:HIV/AIDS patients in Shandong province initially received HAART from 2010 to 2015, at least 15 years old with the CD4 + T and CD8 + T cell count tested at baseline, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years and 5 years after treatment initiation were selected. According to their retrospectively collected baseline and follow-up data, the variation of CD4 + /CD8 + and the related influencing factors were described and analyzed by using rank sum test and generalized estimating equation(GEE). Results:A total of 557 subjects were included in the study. The median baseline CD4 + /CD8 + ratio was 0.20, and the CD4 + /CD8 + ratio was inverted in 99.82% of the patients. The proportion of patients with CD4 + /CD8 + ratio > 1 was 0.18% at baseline, and increased to 13.11% after 5 years of treatment. The trend of time change was statistically significant ( χ2 =95.01, P< 0.05). The result of GEE analysis showed that baseline CD4 + T lymphocytes count level and baseline symptoms/signs were the main factors influencing the variation trend of CD4 + /CD8 + ratio. Conclusions:After 5 years of antiviral treatment with HIV/AIDS in Shandong province, the CD4 + /CD8 + ratio increased significantly. Baseline CD4 + T cell count level and baseline symptoms/signs of patients are the main factors affecting the rate of improvement of CD4 + /CD8 + ratio.

Objective To investigate the surgical methods and the differences of postoperative complications in esophageal canccr patients aged 60 years and over undergoing different operation models.Methods A total of 542 elderly esophageal cancer patients who underwent thoracic surgery at our hospital between January 2010 and December 2016 were enrolled.Patients were divided into 4 groups:left thoracic incision operation group (n =202),lvor-Lewis two incisions operation group (right chest posterolateral and upper abdomen median) (n=251),three incision operation group (left neckright chest-abdominal midian (n =29),and McKneown under-endoscope minimally invasive operation group (n=60).Clinical data,including the postoperative days,numbers of lymph nodes dissection,pulmonary infection,serous membrane fluid,arrhythmia,chylous fistula,gastric emptying dysfunction and anastomotic leakage,were retrospectively compared between the four groups.Results There was no significant difference in the postoperative days,serous membrane fluid,arrhythmia,chylous fistula,gastric emptying dysfunction and anastomotic leakage (P ＞ 0.05).The number of lymph nodes dissection in Sweet group,Ivor-Lewis group,Mckeown operation group and minimally invasive Mckneown group were (12.9±7.4)、(19.3±8.6)、(14.3±6.9)and(15.4±7.3)respectively.The number of lymph nodes dissection was more in the Ivor-Lewis group than in the other three groups (F =23.915,P =0.000).Sweet group,Ivor-Lewis group,Mckeown group and minimally invasive Mckneown group were 31.7％、40.2％、24.1％ and 50.0％ respectively.The incidence of pulmonary infection was higher in the minimally invasive surgery group than in the other three groups (x2 =9.941,P =0.019).Conclusions Ivor-Lewis surgery is more effective in lymph nodes dissection and has a lower incidence of complications in elderly esophageal cancer patients.The minimally invasive surgery group has a higher incidence of pulmonary infection than in the other surgical groups,which may be related with the immaturity of endoscopic technique.

Objective: To explore the effective application of ventilation at prone position on patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS) at high altitude. Methods: A total of 19 severe ARDS patients in ICU of Qinghai Province People's Hospital were enrolled from February in 2016 to February. in 2018, all of them ventilated at the prone position, several indicators were assessed:heart rate (HR), respiratory (R), mean arterial pressure (MAP); blood gas indicators: arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO₂), inhaled oxygen concentration (FiO₂), carbon dioxide partial pressure (PaCO₂), blood oxygen saturation (SpO₂), oxygenation index (PaO₂/FiO₂), PH, lung compliance, PEEP and so on, which assessed before and 12h, 24h, 48h, 72h after the ventilation. Results: FiO₂ and PEEP significantly declined at 12 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h after ventilation at the prone position. HR, MAP, R, PaO₂, PaCO₂, SPO₂, PaO₂/FiO₂, pH and lung compliance significantly improved (F=32.30,24.73, P < 0.05). Conclusions It was an effective method for ARDS patients to improve the oxygenation status and vital signs at the plateau with ventilation used at the prone position and probably nursing intervention, which have clinical application value.
