In recent years, the prevalence of myopia has continued to rise, with an expanding affected population, making it a significant public health challenge both in China and globally. Elongation of the axial length in myopic eyes can induce a series of pathological changes in intraocular structure and function, increasing the risk of blinding ocular diseases such as retinal pathologies. Since myopia is difficult to reverse once established, scientific intervention is necessary to control its progression and reduce the likelihood of ocular complications. As a current research focus in myopia control, the clinical application of orthokeratology lenses has attracted considerable attention. This article highlights that orthokeratology lenses, worn overnight, reshape the corneal curvature and create a myopic defocus signal in the peripheral retina. This mechanism effectively inhibits excessive axial elongation and slows myopia progression. Clinical evidence indicates that orthokeratology can reduce axial elongation by 30% to 50%, accompanied by a short-term increase in choroidal thickness. This article also analyzes the advantages and limitations of orthokeratology and explores its potential synergistic effects when combined with other interventions such as low-dose atropine. The aim is to provide key theoretical and practical references for clinical myopia control.

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.

Objective:To evaluate the dynamic changes in fibrinolytic states after initial resuscitation in severe trauma patients, and to analyze the relationship between the changes and clinical outcomes.Methods:A prospective cohort study was conducted on severe trauma patients admitted to the trauma center in Taicang Hospital, affiliated with Soochow University, from July 2021 to December 2022. Resuscitation treatments, including tranexamic acid (TXA), were administered. Thromboelastography was performed at three intervals: upon admission, 1 hour and 8 hours after initial resuscitation. Fibrinolytic states were categorized into three phenotypes based on clot lysis at 30 minutes: fibrinolysis shutdown (SD), physiologic fibrinolysis (PY), and hyperfibrinolysis (HF). The primary outcomes included all-cause mortality at 24 hours and 28 days. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the association between early fibrinolytic changes and clinical outcomes.Results:A total of 132 patients with severe trauma were included. Upon admission, fibrinolytic phenotypes were distributed as follows: SD in 61 patients (46.2%), PY in 59 patients (44.7%), and HF in 12 patients (9.1%). After resuscitation with TXA and other interventions, SD and PY remained predominant, whereas HF further decreased. Compared with the SD and PY groups, the HF group had significantly higher 24-hour mortality (25.0% vs. 3.3% vs. 3.4%, P<0.05) and 28-day mortality (58.3% vs. 32.8% vs. 11.9%, P<0.05), with massive hemorrhage being the primary cause of death. Among the non-HF groups, 28-day mortality was significantly higher in the SD group than in the PY group (32.8% vs. 11.9%, P<0.05), with traumatic brain injury as the leading cause of death. After the exclusion of 12 HF patients, multivariate logistic regression showed that after adjusting for age, Glasgow Coma Scale score ≤ 8, prothrombin time, and 24-hour crystalloid infusion volume, identified persistent SD was a risk factor for 28-day mortality in severe trauma patients, compared with sustained PY status ( OR=7.009, 95% CI: 1.141-43.079, P=0.036). Conclusions:In patients with severe trauma, SD and PY are the predominant fibrinolysis phenotypes after initial and early resuscitation. Persistent SD following resuscitation is significantly associated with an increased risk of 28-day mortality.

Congenital portosystemic shunts(CPSS)are vascular malformations caused by developmental anomalies that create abnormal shunts between the portal and systemic veins.This anomaly permits partial or complete bypass of portal blood flow from the liver,leading it directly into the systemic circulation without hepatic filtration.If untreated,CPSS can lead to multisystem complications,with pulmonary vascular complications being the most severe outcome.These complications are complex in mechanism,often insidious in onset,and present with nonspecific symptoms,increasing the risk of delayed diagnosis and significantly impacting the quality of children lives.Pulmonary vascular complications associated with CPSS primarily include portopulmonary hypertension,characterized by pulmonary vascular remodeling,and hepatopulmonary syndrome,distinguished by intrapulmonary vascular dilatation and abnormal arterial oxygenation.This article aims to review the anatomical classifications of CPSS,along with the pathophysiology,clinical presentation,diagnosis,and treatment of its pulmonary vascular complications,with the goal of enhancing clinical awareness and providing a reference for diagnosis and management.

Objective:To explore the biodistribution characteristics of mixed activated killer (MAK) immune cells in immunodeficient mice after administration.Methods:Ninety-six immune immunodeficient (NOG) mice (half male and half female) were equally divided into MAK cell group and solvent control group. The MAK cell group mice were injected with DiR-labeled MAK cells via the tail vein, while those in the solvent control group were injected with an equal amount of solvent via the tail vein. The number of MAK cells in the peripheral blood of mice was detected using a flow cytometry at 11 time points from 15 minutes to 84 days after administration. The distribution of MAK cells in mice was measured using in vivo bioluminescence imaging at 18 time points from 5 minutes to 84 days after administration. And at 8 time points from 3 hours to 84 days after administration, the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, brain, stomach, duodenum, colon, bone marrow, fat, skeletal muscle, testes/uterus, epididymis/ovary, and blood were collected from corresponding mice. The DNA levels of MAK cells in blood and various organs of these mice were detected using fluorescence real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) method.Results:The flow cytometry results showed that MAK cells could be detected in the peripheral blood of mice 15 minutes after administration, and the highest number of MAK cells in blood appeared during 3 hours to 1 day. By 14 days after administration, MAK cells were almost undetectable in peripheral blood of mice. In vivo bioluminescence imaging results showed that the fluorescence intensity of MAK cells in mice was strongest on days 1 and 2 after administration, and MAK cells were mostly distributed in the liver, spleen, lung, and leg bone of mouse. The qPCR detection results showed that MAK cells were mainly distributed in the spleen and lungs. High levels of MAK cell DNA amplification were observed in organs such as the spleen and lungs 28-56 days after administration, and a certain amount of MAK cell DNA could still be detected in organs of mice such as the spleen at 84 days.Conclusions:After administration, MAK cells were mainly distributed in the spleen, lung, liver and other organs of NOG mice. From 28 to 56 days after administration, MAK cells are significantly activated and proliferate, and a certain amount of MAK cell DNA can still be detected in the spleen and other organs after 84 days in mice.

Objective:To assess the association between possible sarcopenia and the risk for frailty in middle-aged and elderly adults in China.Methods:A prospective cohort study design was used in this study. Data were from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study during 2011-2018 and the baseline data in 2011, the follow up was conducted in 2013, 2015 and 2018, respectively. Frailty index was used to evaluate frailty status, and grip strength and repetitive sitting-up time were measured to detect possible sarcopenia. Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to estimate the association between possible sarcopenia and the risk for frailty in middle-aged and older adults.Results:In a 44 884 person-years follow-up, a total of 586 cases with frailty were recorded, and the incidence density of frailty was 13.06 per 1 000 person-year. The risk for frailty was also higher in those who were aged 60 years and above ( HR=2.05, 95% CI: 1.71-2.45), had a primary school education level or below ( HR=1.55, 95% CI: 1.29-1.85), had waist-to-height ratio ≥0.5 ( HR=1.39, 95% CI: 1.11-1.75) and had depression ( HR=1.52, 95% CI: 1.28-1.81). Drinking was associated with reduced risk for frailty ( HR=0.76, 95% CI: 0.62-0.94). The risk for frailty increased ( HR=1.73, 95% CI: 1.47-2.05) in those who might has possible sarcopenia. Conclusions:In middle-aged and elderly adults, those with possible sarcopenia, lower education level, central obesity and depression might be at high risk for frailty, and early interventions for high-risk population can be taken to slow the progression of frailty.

Given that ovarian stimulation is vital for assisted reproductive technology (ART) and results in elevated serum estrogen levels, exploring the impact of elevated estrogen exposure on oocytes and embryos is necessary. We investigated the effects of various ovarian stimulation treatments on oocyte and embryo morphology and gene expression using a mouse model and estrogen-treated mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). Female C57BL/6J mice were subjected to two types of conventional ovarian stimulation and ovarian hyperstimulation; mice treated with only normal saline served as controls. Hyperstimulation resulted in high serum estrogen levels, enlarged ovaries, an increased number of aberrant oocytes, and decreased embryo formation. The messenger RNA (mRNA)-sequencing of oocytes revealed the dysregulated expression of lysine-specific demethylase 6b (Kdm6b), which may be a key factor indicating hyperstimulation-induced aberrant oocytes and embryos. In vitro, Kdm6b expression was downregulated in mESCs treated with high-dose estrogen; treatment with an estrogen receptor antagonist could reverse this downregulated expression level. Furthermore, treatment with high-dose estrogen resulted in the upregulated expression of histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) and phosphorylated H2A histone family member X (γ-H2AX). Notably, knockdown of Kdm6b and high estrogen levels hindered the formation of embryoid bodies, with a concomitant increase in the expression of H3K27me3 and γ-H2AX. Collectively, our findings revealed that hyperstimulation-induced high-dose estrogen could impair the demethylation of H3K27me3 by reducing Kdm6b expression. Accordingly, Kdm6b could be a promising marker for clinically predicting ART outcomes in patients with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
