A total of 360 healthy 26 week old Huaixiang hens were randomly divided into 10 groups,of which,five groups were reared at normal temperature(NC,NT1,NT2,NT3,NT4)and other five groups were reared at high temperature(HC,HT1,HT2,HT3,HT4),all chickens were feed with 0,4,6,8,10 mg/kg canthaxanthin(CX)respectively.The pre-test period was 2 weeks and the main test period was 9 weeks.The results showed that high temperature reduced the egg pro-duction rate(P＜0.05),led to damage and hemorrhage in the ovaries,decreased the activity of su-peroxide dismutase(SOD),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)in the serum and the ovaries(P＜0.05),decreased the levels of FSH,LH,P4,and E2(P＜0.05),decreased the expression of FSHR,LHR,ER,and PR(P＜0.05),and increased the levels of malonaldehyde(MDA)(P＜0.05)in the ovaries.Addition of CX increased the egg production rate(P＜0.05),increased the activity of serum and ovarian SOD and GSH-Px enzymes(P＜0.05),decreased the content of serum and ovarian MDA(P＜0.05)),increased the ovarian levels of FSH,LH,P4,E2(P＜0.05),and increased the o-varian expression of FSHR,LHR,ER,and PR(P＜0.05)in Huaixiang chickens at normal and high temperature environmental conditions,respectively.Among them,the highest egg production rate,the strongest antioxidant capacity of serum and ovarian tissues,the best integrity of ovarian tis-sues,ovarian reproductive hormone secretion and expression of reproductive hormone receptors were observed in Huaixiang chickens when 6 mg/kg of CX was added to the diet under normal temperature and when 8 mg/kg CX was added to the diet under high temperature conditions.The results showed that under normal and high temperature conditions,adding CX to the diet signifi-cantly increased the antioxidant capacity of serum and ovaries,alleviated the damage of ovary,pro-moted the secretion of reproductive hormone and the expression of reproductive hormone recep-tors,and increased egg production rate.Dietary supplemented with CX could not restore the dam-age and repair of ovarian tissue,the secretion of reproductive hormone and receptor to normal tem-perature level.The effects of CX on egg production rate,ovarian tissue structure,reproductive hor-mone and receptor expression in chickens were affected by the environmental temperature.When the egg production rate,antioxidant capacity of ovarian tissues,reproductive hormone levels and receptor expression of Huaixiang chickens were optimal,the amount of CX in high temperature en-vironment was more than that of the dose in normal temperature environment.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

Esophageal cancer is a common malignant tumor of the digestive tract. At present， the pathogenesis of esophageal cancer has not been fully clarified. Although surgery， radiotherapy， chemotherapy， targeted therapy， and immunotherapy have achieved good clinical results in the treatment of esophageal cancer， there are still many complications and severe adverse reactions. As an important part of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， in recent years， many basic experiments and clinical studies have proved that Chinese medicine has a good effect in treating esophageal cancer. At the same time， the multi-component and multi-target characteristics of Chinese medicine and unclear pathogenesis of esophageal cancer determine that there are some problems such as unclear mechanisms of Chinese medicine in preventing and treating esophageal cancer. It is necessary to start with modern medicine and reveal the mechanism of Chinese medicine in preventing and treating diseases from the aspects of molecular biology and network pharmacology. It is believed in TCM that the occurrence of esophageal cancer is mostly attributed to stagnation of liver Qi， phlegm stasis and Qi stagnation， fluid consumption and heat accumulation， the decline of healthy Qi， and the cementation of cancer toxicity. According to the literature review， Chinese medicinal compounds mainly include tonic formulae （such as Liu Junzitang）， drying and moistening formulas （such as Qigesan）， and heat-clearing formulas （such as Fufang Kushen injection）. Chinese medicinal monomers mainly include drugs potent in attacking poison and killing insects， clearing heat， activating blood and resolving stasis， and regulating Qi， which is consistent with the etiology and pathogenesis of esophageal cancer in TCM. It is also found that Chinese medicine can promote cell apoptosis and autophagy， block cell cycle， and reverse cell resistance by regulating phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B （PI3K/Akt）， neurogenic locus notch homolog protein （Notch）， Wnt/β-catenin， mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK）， nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB）， Janus kinase 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （JAK2/STAT3）， and other related signaling pathways， but there is no systematic summary. This study systematically summarized the relevant signaling pathways of Chinese medicine in regulating esophageal cancer， which is helpful to clarify the relevant mechanisms of Chinese medicine in the process of esophageal cancer occurrence， development， invasion， and metastasis， so as to provide new targets and new perspectives for the treatment of esophageal cancer and promote the modernization of TCM.

Objective To observe the clinical manifestations of 3 cases with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody-associated disease and anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis antibody overlapping syndrome (MNOS), aiming to expand the understanding of the clinical spectrum of such syndromes. Methods Retrospective analysis was performed on the data of 3 patients with MNOS who were positive for both MOG antibodies and NMDAR antibodies. Clinical features, neuroimaging characteristics, and outcomes were collected, and cell-based assay (CBA) technique was used for diagnosis. Results One case presented both positive MOG antibodies and NMDAR antibodies, but the clinical manifestations were typical symptoms of anti-NMDAR encephalitis. In one case, the clinical and cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of demyelinating disease recurred after anti-NMDAR encephalitis, with atypical symptoms of MNOS such as numbness and weakness in limbs, blurred vision, and diplopia. The last case presented both positive MOG antibodies and NMDAR antibodies, but the clinical manifestations were typical symptoms of anti-NMDAR encephalitis. In MNOS, MOG antibody-associated disease and anti-NMDAR encephalitis may appear simultaneously or sequentially, with epilepsy being the most common symptom. Cranial MRI findings showed that the patients presented and mainly involved supratentorial lesions, which may also involve the brainstem, but no spinal cord lesions were found. All patients showed slightly abnormal cerebrospinal fluid. Patients showed a good response to first-line immunotherapy during the acute phase of the disease, with a favorable prognosis. But most patients were prone to relapse. Conclusion In MNOS patients, anti-NMDAR encephalitis may present with clinical and(or)MRI features of demyelinating disease simultaneously or sequentially. The clinical manifestations of patients are complex and diverse. Patients with atypical symptoms require to improving the understanding of MNOS and timely treatment.

Chronic refractory wound (CRW) is one of the most challengeable issues in clinic due to complex pathogenesis, long course of disease and poor prognosis. Experts need to conduct systematic summary for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW due to complex pathogenesis and poor prognosis, and standard guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW should be created. The Guideline forthe diagnosis and treatment of chronic refractory wounds in orthopedic trauma patients ( version 2023) was created by the expert group organized by the Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Chinese Orthopedic Association, Chinese Society of Traumatology, and Trauma Orthopedics and Multiple Traumatology Group of Emergency Resuscitation Committee of Chinese Medical Doctor Association after the clinical problems were chosen based on demand-driven principles and principles of evidence-based medicine. The guideline systematically elaborated CRW from aspects of the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, postoperative management, complication prevention and comorbidity management, and rehabilitation and health education, and 9 recommendations were finally proposed to provide a reliable clinical reference for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of 3D ResSE-Unet-based intelligent delineation of clinical target volume (CTV) in postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy for breast cancer.Methods:A total of 974 cases of breast cancer treated in the Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Center of the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from September 2018 to June 2022 were enrolled in this study, including 614 cases receiving total mastectomy and 360 cases treated with breast-conserving surgery. They were divided into a training set, a validation set, and a testing set. The training set consisted of 874 cases and was used to build a model of 3D ResSE-Unet-based intelligent CTV delineation. The validation set comprised 40 cases and was used to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the clinical application of AI-based CTV design in the radiotherapy for breast cancer. The testing set was composed of 60 cases and was used to test the accuracy of intelligent CTV. The Wilcoxon rank test was used to compare the Dice similarity coefficient (DSC), 95% Hausdorff distance (HD95), and average surface distance (ASD) obtained using the intelligent delineation model.Results:The intelligent delineation model showed high precision. The CTV of cases treated with total mastectomy (CTV cw) and the CTV of cases treated with breast-conserving surgery (CTV b) had DSCs greater than 0.80 and greater than 0.88, respectively. Therefore, compared with CTV cw, CTV b had a higher DSC (0.91 ± 0.03 vs.0.83 ± 0.05, t = 7.11, P < 0.05). Both CTV cw and CTV b had lower HD 95 [(7.56 ± 3.42) mm vs.(8.77 ± 5.89) mm] and ASD [(1.85 ± 0.71) mm vs.(1.86 ± 0.83)mm], without statistically significant difference ( P > 0.05). The left/right supraclavicular and infraclavicular CTV (CTV2) had DSCs greater than 0.8. CTV2 also had low average HD95 and ASD, without statistically significant difference ( P > 0.05). Conclusions:The 3D ResSE-Unet-based intelligent CTV delineation has better consistency and feasibility in postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy for breast cancer, especially the CTVs after breast-conserving surgery.

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether miRNA-128-3p regulates malignant biological behavior of glioma cells by targeting KLHDC8A. METHODS: Dual-luciferase reporter assays, qRT-PCR and Western blotting were used to verify the targeting of miRNA-128-3p to KLHDC8A. Edu assay, flow cytometry, Transwell assay and would healing assay were used to determine the effects of changes in miRNA-128-3p and KLHDC8A expression levels on malignant behavior of glioma cells. Rescue experiment was carried out to verify that miRNA-128-3p regulated glioma cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and migration by targeting KLHDC8A. RESULTS: The expression level of KLHDC8A was significantly increased in high-grade glioma tissue and was closely related to a poor survival outcome of the patients. Overexpression of KLHDC8A promoted glioma cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and miRNA-128-3p overexpression inhibited proliferative and metastatic capacities of glioma cells. Mechanistically, KLHDC8A expression was directly modulated by miRNA-128-3p, which, by targeting KLHDC8A, inhibited malignant behavior of glioma cells. CONCLUSION Upregulation of miRNA-128-3p inhibits uncontrolled growth of glioma cells by negatively regulating KLHDC8A expression and its downstream effectors, suggesting that the miRNA-128-3p-KLHDC8A axis may serve as a potential prognostic indicator and a therapeutic target for developing new strategies for glioma treatment.
