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.

With the rapid advancement of hemodynamic indices and monitoring technologies, their classification methods and application processes have become increasingly complex. Currently, no unified standard hasbeen established, making it difficult to fully meet the clinical requirements for hemodynamic management. To assist in hemodynamic monitoring assessment and therapeutic decision-making in critically ill patients, the Critical Hemodynamic Therapy Collaborative Group, in conjunction with the Critical Ultrasound Study Group, has jointly developed the Standard for the Application of Hemodynamic Monitoring Techniques in Critical Care. The first part of this standard systematically categorizes hemodynamic indicators into flow indicators, pressure and its derivative indicators, and tissue perfusion indicators, while elaborating on the clinical application of each. The second part establishes a standardized clinical implementation pathway for hemodynamic monitoring. It proposes a tiered monitoring strategy-comprising basic, advanced, indication-specific, and special scenario monitoring-tailored to different clinical settings. It emphasizes the central role of critical care ultrasound across all levels of monitoring and establishes hemodynamic assessment standards for organs such as the brain, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract. This standard aims to provide a unified framework for clinical practice, teaching, training, and research in critical care medicine, thereby promoting standardized development within the discipline.

ObjectiveAutism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by difficulties with communication and social interaction, restricted and repetitive behaviors. Previous studies have indicated that individuals with ASD exhibit early and lifelong attention deficits, which are closely related to the core symptoms of ASD. Basic visual attention processes may provide a critical foundation for their social communication and interaction abilities. Therefore, this study explores the behavior of children with ASD in capturing attention to changes in topological properties. MethodsOur study recruited twenty-seven ASD children diagnosed by professional clinicians according to DSM-5 and twenty-eight typically developing (TD) age-matched controls. In an attention capture task, we recorded the saccadic behaviors of children with ASD and TD in response to topological change (TC) and non-topological change (nTC) stimuli. Saccadic reaction time (SRT), visual search time (VS), and first fixation dwell time (FFDT) were used as indicators of attentional bias. Pearson correlation tests between the clinical assessment scales and attentional bias were conducted. ResultsThis study found that TD children had significantly faster SRT (P<0.05) and VS (P<0.05) for the TC stimuli compared to the nTC stimuli, while the children with ASD did not exhibit significant differences in either measure (P>0.05). Additionally, ASD children demonstrated significantly less attention towards the TC targets (measured by FFDT), in comparison to TD children (P<0.05). Furthermore, ASD children exhibited a significant negative linear correlation between their attentional bias (measured by VS) and their scores on the compulsive subscale (P<0.05). ConclusionThe results suggest that children with ASD have difficulty shifting their attention to objects with topological changes during change detection. This atypical attention may affect the child’s cognitive and behavioral development, thereby impacting their social communication and interaction. In sum, our findings indicate that difficulties in attentional capture by TC may be a key feature of ASD.

With the deepening of the public hospital reform and the implementation of a series of policies,the external environment of the hospital has undergone profound changes,and the operation and management of the hospital has faced unprecedented pressure.Against this background,the case hospital has set up a special operation management team,established an operation evaluation index system that integrates business and finance,written an analysis report on"one policy for one department",set up an"operation management MDT clinic",and issued a list of operation problems to functional departments.A series of measures,such as the establishment of a set of operation management system with multi-line synergy,big data support,lean operation and evidence-based decision-making,have strongly guaranteed the scientific decision-making and efficient implementation of the hospital's operation management,and played a good role in the hospital's medical business,operation efficiency,cost structure,and management of the medical insurance fund,etc.The practical exploration of the operation management model has further improved the medical service level of the hospital and accelerated the pace of improving quality and increasing efficiency of the hospital.It is necessary to pay more attention to the refined management,continuously optimize the operation management system,and continuously promote the high-quality development of the hospital.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of anrikefon and tegileridine for analgesia in patients with moderate-to-severe pain after abdominal surgery with general anesthesia.Methods:In this multicenter, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled clinical trial, 101 patients with moderate to severe pain (numeric pain rating scale [NRS] score ≥4 within 4 h after operation) after abdominal surgery with general anesthesia between February 24 and April 1, 2025, aged 18-70 yr, with a body mass index of 18-40 kg/m 2, were assigned to anrikefon group ( n=50) and tegileridine group ( n=51) in a 1∶1 ratio using stratified blocked randomization. Double-dummy design was employed to maintain blinding. Each group received an initial intravenous injection of anrikefon 1 μg/kg or tegileridine 1 mg, followed by connection to a patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) pump (the PCIA solution contained normal saline in anrikefon group; the PCIA solution contained tegileridine 5 mg in tegileridine pump) within 10 min. If the patient′s NRS score ≥4 at 8 and 16 h after the initial injection, anrikefon 1 μg/kg was intravenously injected in anrikefon group, and tegileridine group received the equal volume of normal saline. The primary efficacy endpoint was the sum of pain intensity difference (SPID) over the first 24 h after the initial dose (SPID 0-24h). The secondary efficacy endpoints included the incidence and severity of vomiting and nausea, incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting(PONV), the proportion of patients who received antiemetic treatment, and total consumption of antiemetics within 0-24 h after the initial dose, NRS score at rest ≤ 1 at 24 h after the initial dose, and NRS score at rest ≤ 3 over the first 24 h after the initial dose. Safety indicators included adverse events, vital signs, physical examination findings, 12-lead ECG and laboratory test indicators, and adverse events of special interest. Results:Compared with tegileridine group, no significant change was found in the SPID 0-24h ( P>0.05), and the incidence of vomiting, PONV, proportion of patients requiring antiemetic medication, and total consumption of antiemetics were significantly decreased within the first 24 h after the initial dose in tegileridine group ( P<0.05). One treatment-emergent adverse event of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events grade 3 or higher occurred in tegileridine group, while no treatment-emergent adverse events of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events grade 3 or higher were found in anrikefon group. Among the adverse events of special interest, one case of respiratory depression and one case of cough occurred in tegileridine group, while one case of cough occurred in anrikefon group, with no respiratory depression. Conclusions:Anrikefon and tegileridine provide comparable analgesic efficacy for moderate-to-severe pain after abdominal surgery with general anesthesia. However, anrikefon exhibits an advantage in reducing the risk of PONV, with a superior safety profile.

Objective To compare the effects of remimazolam and propofol on postoperative nausea and vomiting(PONV)after pancreatic extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy(P-ESWL),with the aim of optimizing the anesthesia regimen for this procedure.Methods Clinical data were retrospectively collected from patients who underwent P-ESWL for pancreatic stones under general anesthesia at The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from January 2021 to December 2024.A total of 307 patients were recruited,with 103 in the remimazolam group and 204 in the propofol group.Inverse probability of treatment weighting(IPTW)based on propensity scores was used to balance baseline characteristics and confounding factors between the two groups.The incidence of PONV and anesthesia recovery time were compared between the two groups.Results Before IPTW,there were statistically significant differences between the remimazolam and propofol groups in gender[male/female:51/52 vs.155/49],smoking history(27.2％vs.42.6％),intraoperative sufentanil use[25(10)μg vs.30(10)μg],remifentanil use[429.00(177)μg vs.480.50(209)μg],rocuronium use[36(6)mg vs.38(7)mg],and intraoperative dexamethasone use(62.1％vs.49.0％)(all P＜0.05).After IPTW,the baseline characteristics and confounding factors were balanced and comparable between the two groups(P＞0.05).Before IPTW,the incidence of PONV was higher in the remimazolam group than in the propofol group(24.3％vs.14.7％,P=0.039).After IPTW,the two groups did not significantly differ in the incidence of PONV(21.5％vs.17.5％,P=0.215),and the anesthesia recovery time was significantly shorter in the remimazolam group than in the propofol group[3(3)min vs.9(4)min,P＜0.001].Conclusion Compared to propofol anesthesia,remimazolam does not increase the incidence of PONV in patients undergoing P-ESWL for pancreatic stones and can effectively reduce anesthesia recovery time.

Objective To investigate the predictive factors for postoperative gastrointestinal function in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical rectectomy(LRR),and thereby construct a predictive model.Methods A total of 155 patients who underwent LRR at our hospital from February 2021 to April 2024 were selected for this study.Based on the postoperative intake-nausea-vomiting-examination-duration of symptoms(I-FEED)scoring system,patients were divided into postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction(POGD)and non-POGD groups.Clinical data of the selected patients were collected,and Logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors influencing the occurrence of POGD in LRR patients.A predictive model for POGD was constructed,and its predictive performance was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.The calibration ability of the model was assessed using the H-L test.Results Of the 155 LRR patients,2 were excluded due to intraoperative conversion to open surgery and 1 due to insufficient data,resulting in a total of 152 patients included in the analysis.The incidence of POGD in these 152 patients was 33.55％(51/152).Logistic regression analysis identified age(OR=2.687,95％CI=1.422-5.078,P=0.003),smoking history(OR=2.564,95％CI=1.395-4.713,P=0.004),preoperative albumin(Alb)level(OR=0.851,95％CI=0.781-0.927,P＜0.001),dexmedetomidine combined with general anesthesia(OR=0.382,95％CI=0.214-0.682,P=0.001),the location of the abdominal auxiliary incision(OR=2.992,95％CI=1.278-7.006,P=0.007)and ligation location of inferior mesenteric artery(OR=3.784,95％CI=1.624-8.815,P=0.001)as influencing factors for POGD in LRR patients.The ROC curve showed that the predictive model constructed using these factors had an area under the curve(AUC)of 0.905,indicating good predictive performance.The H-L goodness-of-fit test showed no significant difference between the predicted and observed values(P＞0.05),indicating good calibration ability.Conclusion Age,smoking history,preoperative Alb level,dexmedetomidine combined with general anesthesia,the location of the abdominal auxiliary incision and ligation location of inferior mesenteric artery are influencing factors for POGD in LRR patients.The predictive model constructed based on these factors has good predictive value and calibration ability,providing a basis for targeted prevention and treatment to reduce the risk of POGD.

However, anrikefon exhibits an advantage in reducing the risk of PONV, with a superior safety profile.

Objective:To explore the clinical application value of press-needle assisted sedation therapy in sedation treatment of intensive care unit (ICU) under bispectral index (BIS) monitoring.Methods:A total of 30 critically ill patients admitted to the ICU of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital from July 2024 to January 2025 were selected. A prospective self before-after control method was used. On the basis of conventional analgesic and sedative drug treatment, traditional Chinese medicine press-needles were combined to stimulate the head emotion area, Yintang (GV29), Hegu (LI4), Neiguan (PC6), and Zusanli (ST36). The BIS, dosages of remifentanil and propofol, respiratory and circulatory functions, and lactate levels before and after treatment were compared.Results:The BIS value dropped to stability (21.90±13.67)min after press-needle treatment, with a decrease of (5.73±1.42) ( P<0.05). The dosage of propofol within 8 h after press-needle treatment was reduced by (1.08±0.33)mg/kg compared with that before treatment ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in heart rate, blood pressure, oxygenation index, and lactate level before and after treatment (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Press-needle assisted sedation therapy can improve the sedative effect, reduce the dosage of propofol sedatives, and has good safety.

Objective:To explore the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations and ultrasonic imaging features of neurogenic pulmonary edema, aiming to improve clinicians' diagnosis and treatment level of neurogenic pulmonary edema and reduce missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.Methods:The ultrasonic features and clinical data of a patient with neurogenic pulmonary edema were retrospectively analyzed, and the imaging features, diagnosis and treatment experience of neurogenic pulmonary edema were summarized by combining with literature analysis.Results:The ultrasonic manifestation of neurogenic pulmonary edema was diffuse B-lines in the lungs, and etiological diagnosis needed to be further confirmed by combining with clinical data. Electrical impedance tomography for dynamically monitoring pulmonary ventilation may guide respiratory treatment.Conclusions:Neurogenic pulmonary edema is mostly secondary to craniocerebral injury, and the case-fatality rate is extremely high once it occurs. Early application of bedside point-of-care ultrasound for rapid assessment, comprehensive monitoring and precise treatment can significantly improve the prognosis of patients.
