ObjectiveTo investigate the incidence rate of sarcopenia in patients with Wilson’s disease (WD)-related liver cirrhosis, as well as the risk factors for sarcopenia and their impact on clinical outcomes. MethodsA total of 140 patients with WD-related liver cirrhosis who were treated in The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Chinese Medicine from January 2019 to June 2020, and according to the third lumbar skeletal muscle mass index (L3 SMI), the patients were divided into sarcopenia group and non-sarcopenia group. Nutritional risk screening, anthropometric measurements, and blood biochemical tests were performed for the patients to identify the influencing factors for sarcopenia. The patients were followed up for 36 — 48 months, and survival status and complications were compared between the two groups. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups, and the chi-square test and the Mann-Whitney U rank sum test were used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. A binary Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the influencing factors for sarcopenia, and univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to investigate the risk factors for the prognosis of patients with WD-related liver cirrhosis. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve was plotted, and the Log-rank test was used for comparison between groups. ResultsAmong the 140 patients with WD-related liver cirrhosis, 53 (37.9%) developed sarcopenia, with significantly lower body mass index (BMI) and L3 SMI than the patients without sarcopenia (t=10.550 and 3.982, both P<0.001). The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age (odds ratio [OR]=2.243, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.196 — 4.208, P=0.012), sex (OR=0.450, 95%CI: 0.232 — 0.872, P=0.018), BMI (OR=0.126, 95%CI: 0.089 — 0.294, P<0.001), and hepatic encephalopathy (OR=8.367, 95%CI: 2.423 — 28.897, P<0.001) were the main influencing factors for sarcopenia in patients with WD-related liver cirrhosis. Compared with the non-sarcopenia group, the sarcopenia group had significantly higher mortality rate (χ2=6.158, P=0.019) and significantly higher incidence rates of infection (χ2=8.008, P=0.040), recurrent abdominal/pleural efflux (χ2=17.742, P<0.001), and hepatic encephalopathy (χ2=4.338, P=0.039). The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that sarcopenia (hazard ratio [HR]=4.685, P=0.002) and hepatic encephalopathy (HR=19.156, P<0.001) were independent risk factors for death in patients with WD-related liver cirrhosis. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed a significant reduction in survival rate in the patients with sarcopenia (P=0.003). ConclusionSarcopenia is one of the manifestations of malnutrition in patients with WD-related liver cirrhosis, which increases the risk of mortality and other complications and has an adverse effect on prognosis. There is an increased risk of sarcopenia in male patients or patients with hepatic encephalopathy, a lower level of BMI or an older age.

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 determine the correlation between the radiologic magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)depth of invasion(MRI-DOI)and pathologic depth of invasion(p-DOI)in oral cavity primary tongue squamous cell carcinoma(TSCC).Methods:Fifty-two cases of patho-logically proven primary TSCC were selected from patients admitted to The Ninth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong Uni-versity School of Medicine between January 2015 and December 2018.The p-DOI was measured,and the relationship between p-DOI and patients'clinicopathological parameters and prognosis were analyzed.The MRI-DOI was retrospectively measured,and the correlation between MRI-DOI and p-DOI was investigated.Results:Among the 52 patients,the average p-DOI was(8.5±5.5)(1-30)mm.p-DOI was signi-ficantly correlated with tumor size(P=0.021)and tumor site(P=0.047)when p-DOI was>5 mm,and significantly correlated with level Ⅲ lymph node metastasis(P=0.01)when p-DOI was≥10 mm.A close relationship between p-DOI>7 mm and the patient 5-year survival was also demonstrated(P=0.048).The average MRI-DOI was(10.3±4.3)mm,with a maximum of 19.9 mm and a minimum of 3.1 mm.The MRI-DOI≥10 mm also predicted poor survival in patients with TSCC(P=0.043).The MRI-DOI measured was generally slightly higher than p-DOI,with an average difference of 1.94 mm,and a strong correlation was found between MRI-DOI and p-DOI(r=0.831,P<0.001).Conclusions:MRI-based radiologic DOI measurement was useful in estimating postoperative p-DOI,and may help predict the depth of invasion of tumors preoperatively,which has important reference value for treating primary TSCC.
