Autoimmune hepatitis （AIH） is an immune-mediated chronic liver inflammatory disease with unknown pathogenesis， and intestinal barrier dysfunction is considered an important factor. Meanwhile， there are sex and age differences in the incidence rate of AIH， suggesting that hormone may be involved in regulation. On this basis， this article focuses on the association between estrogen， intestinal barrier， and immune homeostasis， systematically reviews the evidence that estrogen deficiency disrupts intestinal barrier homeostasis， and further summarizes the potential mechanism of estrogen in regulating the development and progression of AIH via intestinal barrier.

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.

It has been 131 years since Halsted reported radical mastectomy to treat breast cancer in 1894. The concept of “R0 resection” as the most important treatment strategy has significantly contributed to improving the survival rate of patients with breast cancer. With deep understanding of the mechanism of tumorigenesis and advancements in systematic treatment since the 20th century,modified radical mastectomy proposed by Patey and Auchincloss,aimed to improve quality of life,replaced radical mastectomy and became the mainstream surgery for breast cancer. Based on NSABP-B06 trial,the 2025 St. Gallen consensus persisted in the principle of preserving breast-conserving surgery whenever possible. Additionally,the guidelines recommend axillary lymph node dissection can be omitted in patients with negative sentinel lymph nodes,supported by high-level evidence. The AJCC Cancer Staging System (8th Edition) showed the evaluation of breast cancer burden has transcended TNM stage,leading to the level of detecting microscopic tumor burden. Pathological test is no longer limited to pathomorphology, instead,immunohistochemistry,molecular pathology testing,and next-generation sequencing technologies have laid a scientific foundation for categorized treatment of breast cancer. The evolution of breast cancer surgery is undergoing a shift from “maximal resection” to “minimal effective treatment” de-escalation. On this basis,promoting the standardization and homogenization of breast surgery suited to China′s national conditions is the common goal of breast surgeons at this stage.

BACKGROUND:Nanocell vesicles possess functions such as re-epithelialization,antioxidation,anti-inflammation,and regulation of extracellular matrix remodeling.Meanwhile,apoptotic bodies have the immunomodulatory effects.Therefore,the combination of the two to form nanofusion vesicles can synergistically promote the healing of diabetic skin wounds.OBJECTIVE:To elucidate the impact of nanofusion vesicles on skin wound healing in a diabetic murine model.METHODS:(1)Material preparation and characterization:The primary bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells of C57BL/6J neonatal mice and the neutrophil apoptotic bodies of C57BL/6J mice were isolated and extracted.The nanofusion vesicles were prepared by micro-extrusion mechanism.(2)In vitro experiment:MTT assay was used to detect the proliferative effect of different concentrations of nanofusion vesicles on NIH-3T3 cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells.Reactive oxygen species fluorescence probe was used to detect the antioxidant effect of nano-fusion vesicles on NIH-3T3 cells treated with hydrogen peroxide(H2O2).The inhibitory effect of nanofusion vesicles on RAW 264.7 macrophage inflammation induced by lipopolyside was detected by real-time quantitative RT-qPCR.(3)In vivo experiment:36 male C57BL/6J mice were employed to develop a murine model of diabetes mellitus.Following the successful induction of diabetes,two circular full-thickness wounds,each with a diameter of 6 mm,were created on either side of the diabetic mice's spine using a skin punch.The mice were divided into three groups by random number table method.The control group was injected with 0.1 mL of phosphate buffer solution.The nanovesicle group was injected with 0.1 mL nanovesicles(25 μg/mL).The nanofusion vesicle group was injected with 0.1 mL nanofusion(25 μg/mL)vesicles.After treatment for three consecutive days,the wound healing and histomorphological changes were observed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)In vitro experiment:nanofusion vesicles,when administered at concentrations ranging from 0 to 100 μg/mL,exhibited no toxic effects and promoted the proliferation of NIH-3T3 and HUVEC cell lines.Notably,a concentration of 25 μg/mL nanofusion vesicle significantly enhanced the proliferation of NIH-3T3 cells.Furthermore,the survival rate of human umbilical vein endothelial cells was observed to increase in correlation with escalating concentrations of nanofusion vesicles.Nanofusion vesicles had a good antioxidant effect.In comparison to the H2O2 group,the fluorescence signal indicative of reactive oxygen species was progressively diminished in both the nanovesicle group and the nanofusion vesicle group.Furthermore,nanofusion vesicles possessed anti-inflammatory capabilities,effectively mitigating the inflammatory response in macrophages triggered by lipopolysaccharide stimulation.(2)In vivo experiment:Hematoxylin-eosin and Masson's trichrome staining revealed that in comparison to the control group,both the nanovesicle group and the nanofusion vesicle group exhibited a significant increase in granulation tissue formation and collagen fiber deposition within the wounds by day 6.Notably,the nanofusion vesicle group displayed the most pronounced effects.On day 12,the wound of nanofusion vesicle group was significantly reduced,and the healing rate was significantly faster than that of other groups(P＜0.01),and the effect of promoting wound healing was the most significant.Our findings demonstrated that nanofusion vesicles exhibited superior pro-cell proliferative,antioxidant,and anti-inflammatory properties,thereby exerting a beneficial effect on the promotion of skin wound healing in diabetic mouse models.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that disorders of mineral metabolism may be responsible for premature aging and that the kl/FGF23 axis plays an important role in mineral metabolism.OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of long-term endurance exercise on the kl/FGF23 axis in naturally aging mice,and to observe the impact of long-term endurance exercise on calcium and phosphorus metabolism,so as to provide a reference for the influence of long-term endurance exercise on natural aging.METHODS:Twenty-two 5-week-old SPF male balb/c mice were randomly divided into three groups:young and quiet control group,natural aging quiet group and natural aging exercise group.Mice in the young and quiet control group were then killed immediately.Mice in the natural aging quiet group were raised normally until 60 weeks of age.Mice in the natural aging exercise group were subjected to adaptive exercise for 1 week,followed by the maximum running speed test.The official exercise speed was set at 70％of the maximum running speed,and exercise was performed on Mondays,Wednesdays,and Fridays for 50 minutes each.Maximum running speed was retested at 8-week intervals to adjust the official exercise speed until the age of 60 weeks.(3)Enzyme-linked immunoassay was used to measure the levels of femoral fibroblast growth factor 23,renal fibroblast growth factor receptor 1,1α-hydroxylase,and serum 1,25(OH)2D3.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the young and quiet control group,serum calcium and phosphorus levels in natural aging quiet group had no significant changes(P＞0.05),but bone calcium and phosphorus levels were significantly reduced(P＜0.01).Compared with the natural aging quiet group,the serum phosphorus level was significantly reduced(P＜0.05),the serum calcium level did not change(P＞0.05),and bone calcium and phosphorus levels were significantly increased in the natural aging exercise group(P＜0.05).(2)Compared with the young and quiet control group,the level of fibroblast growth factor 23 in the femur of the natural aging quiet group was significantly increased(P＜0.05).Compared with the natural aging quiet group,the level of fibroblast growth factor 23 in the femur of the natural aging exercise group was reduced,but it was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).(3)Compared with the young and quiet control group,the renal Klotho protein expression,the renal fibroblast growth factor receptor 1,1α-hydroxylase,and serum 1,25(OH)2 D3 levels in the natural aging quiet group were significantly decreased(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Compared with the natural aging quiet group,the levels of the above-mentioned indicators were significantly increased in the natural aging exercise group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).To conclude,long-term endurance exercise can regulate Klotho protein and fibroblast growth factor 23 through the kl/FGF23 axis,thereby affecting the expression of 1α-hydroxylase and the level of 1,25(OH)2D3,and further regulating the body's calcium and phosphorus metabolism,especially phosphate metabolism.This indicates that long-term endurance exercise can delay the natural aging of the body through the kl/FGF23 axis.

Objective To identify and delineate the developmental trajectories of depressive symptoms in the middle-aged and elderly population in China,and to explore the risk factors for depressive symptom trajectories in China's middle-aged and elderly population.Methods According to our inclusion and exclusion criteria,7 600 participants were subjected based on the data from the China Health and Aged Care Tracking Survey(CHARLS)published by Peking University.The data from 5 waves of the survey from 2011 to 2023 were collected and analyzed with latent growth curve model(LGCM),latent class growth model(LGCM)to identify the developmental trajectories of depressive symptoms in the participants.Multicategorical logistic regression analyses were conducted to analyze whether gender,marital status,educational level,urban/rural residence,annual income,self-rated health status,and childhood bullying experience were risk factors for different trajectories of depressive symptoms.Results Two developmental trajectories of depressive symptoms were identified and classified in this study,that is,low-level stable(n=5 545,72.96%)and high-level ascending(n=2 055,27.04%).With the low-level stable group as a reference,multicategorical logistic regression analysis revealed that female(OR=1.373,95CI%:1.191～1.584,P<0.001),residence of rural area(OR=1.634,95CI%:1.410～1.895,P<0.001),and poor self-rated health status(OR=2.059,95%CI:1.890～2.243,P<0.001),and experience of childhood bullying(OR=1.76,95%CI:1.489～2.080,P<0.001)were associated with an increased risk of high-level ascending trajectory of depression.Conclusion There are 2 different trajectories of depressive mood in Chinese middle-aged and elderly population.And poor self-rated health status,history of childhood bullying,being female,and residence of rural area are risk factors for a high-level ascending trajectory of depressive symptoms.

Accurate analysis of metal nanoparticles(MNPs)in sediments is a prerequisite for assessing the ecological risks of MNPs in aquatic environmental sediments.In this study,an analytical method for quantitative detection of concentration and particle size distribution of silver-containing nanoparticles(Ag-NPs),zinc-containing nanoparticles(Zn-NPs),cerium-containing nanoparticles(Ce-NPs),and titanium-containing nanoparticles(Ti-NPs)in sediments was established based on ultrasonic extraction-single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry(SP-ICP-MS).The effects of sample preparation conditions such as extraction solvent type,solid-liquid ratio,ultrasonic time,and settling time on the recovery of MNPs were investigated.The results showed that the extraction of MNPs from sediment by distilled water could effectively eliminate the high background signal interference introduced by the extractant under the conditions of solid-liquid ratio of 1∶400(g∶mL),ultrasonic extraction time of 1 h and settling time of 3 h.The detection limits for particle size of Ag-NPs,Zn-NPs,Ce-NPs and Ti-NPs in sediments were 31,35,26 and 85 nm,respectively,while the detection limits of particle concentrations were 1.21×104,1.90×104,5.26×107 and 1.48×107 particles/g,respectively.The spiking recoveries of Ag-NPs,Zn-NPs,Ce-NPs and Ti-NPs in sediments were 62.1％-108.7％,with relative standard deviations below 10％.This method could rapidly,accurately and simultaneously determine the concentration and particle size distribution of various MNPs in sediments,and was successfully applied to analysis of Ag-NPs,Zn-NPs,Ce-NPs,and Ti-NPs in authentic marine sediments.
