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 analyze the case data of farmers' foodborne disease surveillance reports in Guizhou Province from 2022 to 2024, and to provide reference for the precise prevention and control of foodborne diseases among farmers in Guizhou Province. Methods Case data of foodborne disease surveillance reports of farmers were systematically collected from 2022 to 2024 in Guizhou Province. Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the temporal, geographical, and demographic distribution of foodborne diseases among farmers, along with their primary clinical symptoms and pathogen detection results. Results From 2022 to 2024, a total of 22,882 cases of foodborne diseases were reported among farmers in Guizhou Province. The majority of clinical symptoms (97.81%) were related to the digestive system, with summer being the peak season. While females outnumbered males, the gender difference was statistically insignificant (P >0.05). The 36-55 age group accounted for the highest proportion (38.83%), with Zunyi City (34.89%) and Qiandongnan Prefecture (23.21%) reporting the most cases. Fungal products were the most frequently reported suspected food items (26.96%), and home-made preparation was the primary processing method (58.63%). A total of 1 210 fecal samples were collected through active monitoring with an overall detection rate of 13.22%. Norovirus showed the highest detection rate (9.92%, 120/1 210). Statistically significant differences were observed among different seasons, age groups, regions, types and processing methods of suspected food exposure, and pathogen detection rates (P <0.001). Conclusion Foodborne disease prevention and control among farmers in Guizhou Province should focus on the risks of wild mushroom poisoning in summer and homemade foods, and continuously improve farmers' awareness of the dangers of foodborne diseases and food safety.

ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of the 21 confirmed monkeypox cases in a district of Chengdu City, and to provide scientific guidance for the prevention and control of subsequent monkeypox epidemics. MethodsData of confirmed monkeypox cases residing in this district were collected from the Disease Control and Prevention Information System of China. A retrospective descriptive epidemiological analysis was used to analyze the demographic, distributional and behavioral characteristics of the cases. ResultsThe first confirmed case of monkeypox was reported on July 5, 2023. Up to April 30, 2025, a total of 21 confirmed cases of monkeypox have been reported. All cases were male, with a mean age of (30.9±6.2) years. The highest proportion of cases(47.62%) was in the 30‒40 years age group. The majority were men who have sex with men (MSM) population (90.48%, 19/21). The results showed that 19.05% of cases were co-infected with HIV, and 19.05% had a history of syphilis infection. Within 21 days prior to symptom onset, 19 cases (90.48%) self-reported engaging in male-to-male sexual contact, among whom 10 cases (52.63%) reported having taken protective measures, while 9 cases (47.37%) did not take safety precautions. Thirteen cases (61.90%) had no travel history to areas with reported monkeypox cases during the 21 days before symptom onset. The predominant manifestation was exanthem (100%, 21/21), followed by fever (57.14%, 12/21) and lymphadenectasis (47.62%, 10/21). Among febrile cases, 50.00% (6/12) had low-grade fever (37.3‒38.0 ℃). All cases were identified through active medical consultation. The median interval from symptom onset to the first medical visit was 3 (2, 6) days, with a maximum interval of 14 days. The median interval from symptom onset to laboratory confirmation was 7 (5, 9) days. Six cases (28.57%) had two or more visits to the hospital, with bacterial infection being the primary initial diagnosis. ConclusionMonkeypox prevention and control efforts in a district of Chengdu City should prioritize MSM population and young and middle-aged adults aged 30 to <40 years. It is recommended to establish an integrated monkeypox epidemic prevention and control network by leveraging existing HIV/AIDS prevention and control network. Concurrently, accelerating the deployment of the national intelligent infectious disease monitoring and early warning front-end software will strengthen early detection capabilities and be beneficial for the overall effectiveness of epidemic prevention and control efforts.

Objective:To introduce a new technique of precise exposure and preservation of membranous semicircular canal under endoscope, and to evaluate the protective effect of this method on hearing preservation of semicircular canal occlusion.Methods:The study included three patients with unilateral refractory Meniere′s disease, including 1 male and 2 females, with hearing stage 4 in 2 cases and stage 3 in 1 case, the average hearing thresholds were 72.5, 82.5 and 48.8 dBHL, respectively. All of them were treated with triple semicircular canal occlusion under continuous irrigating mode of endoscopic ear surgery (CIM-EES) in RenMin Hospital of WuHan University. The surgical procedure involved the following key steps: the bony walls of the three semicircular canals near the ampullae were gradually thinned to expose the blue line. The endoscope was positioned as close as possible to the operating area to obtain a clear, magnified view. A micro hook needle was used to create a window on the bony semicircular canals. The hook needle progressively removed the bony material while preserving the membranous canals, which were clearly visible during the procedure. The bone dust was removed out of the surgical area by the continuous exchanged insuline without the help of suction that can avoid the damage of the membranous semicircular canals caused by aspiration and the open bony canals were precisely filled with bone wax and covered with bone powder to ensure complete occlusion of the three semicircular canals. Postoperative follow-up included regular assessments of vertigo control and hearing preservation.Results:All the 3 patients obtained complete hearing preservation at 6 months after surgery, and the hearing preservation rate was 100%. The average hearing thresholds at 6 months postoperatively were 66.3, 81.3, and 50.0 dBHL, respectively. Postoperatively, all patients experienced horizontal spontaneous nystagmus toward the healthy side on the day of surgery and the first day after surgery. One patient reported complete disappearance of tinnitus, while the other two patients showed no change in tinnitus severity. Postoperative MRI revealed complete occlusion of the three semicircular canals with normal vestibular imaging. At 6 months postoperatively, none of the patients experienced any vertigo attacks, suggesting effective control of vertigo symptoms.Conclusions:Precise Semicircular canal occlusion under CIM-EES is a promising technique for the treatment of intractable vertigo in patients with refractory Meniere′s disease. This method provides clear visualization of the membranous canals, reducing the risk of inner ear damage and preserving hearing function of the patients.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and mechanism of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) combined with static progressive stretching (SPS) in the treatment of traumatic knee stiffness in rats.Methods:Forty healthy male SD rats aged 8 weeks and weighing 220-300 g, were randomly divided into blank control group ( n=8) and model groups ( n=28) (including injury group, BTX-A group, SPS group and BTX-A+SPS group, with 7 in each group). Hlidebrand′s method was used to construct a traumatic knee stiffness model, with the following main steps: destruction of the joint capsule, Kirschner wire fixation, joint drilling, and removal of the internal fixation at 4 weeks. The blank control group did not receive any treatment and could move freely in the cage. The injury group moved freely after successful modeling. On the day of internal fixation removal, BTX-A was injected into the joint cavity in group BTX-A, SPS treatment was started in the SPS group, BTX-A was injected into the joint cavity and SPS treatment was started in the BTX-A+SPS group. The treatments lasted 16 days. The range of motion (ROM) and joint stiffness were measured before treatment and at 16 days after treatment. At 16 days after treatment, knee joint tissue was collected and the rats were sacrificed, and the articular capsule fibrous tissue proliferation was observed by HE and Masson staining. The expression levels of phosphorylated (p)-Smad2, Smad2, p-Smad3, Smad3, Smad4, transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), collagen type I, collagen type III, and α-smooth actin (α-SMA) were determined by Western blot. The ratio of phosphorylated protein to total protein was calculated to reflect the phosphorylation level. Results:(1) ROM: Before treatment, the ROM in the blank control group was significantly higher than that in the other groups ( P<0.05), with no significant difference in ROM among the other groups ( P>0.05). At 16 days after treatment, ROM in the injury group, BTX-A group, SPS group, and BTX-A+SPS group was lower than that in the blank control group ( P<0.05), among which ROM in the BTX-A+SPS group was significantly higher than that in the injury group, BTX-A group, and SPS group ( P<0.05). At 16 days after treatment, there was no significant difference in ROM before and after treatment in the blank control group ( P>0.05), and ROM in the other groups was significantly increased compared with that before treatment ( P<0.01). (2) Joint stiffness: At 16 days after treatment, the joint stiffness levels in the injury group, the BTX-A group, and the SPS group were (0.95±0.24)N·cm/°, (0.86±0.22)N·cm/°, and (0.65±0.09)N·cm/° respectively, which were significantly lower than (0.36±0.03)N·cm/° in the blank control group ( P<0.05). The joint stiffness level of the BTX-A+SPS group was (0.49±0.04)N·cm/°, which was not significantly different from that in the blank control group ( P>0.05), but was significantly lower than those in the injury group, BTX-A group, and SPS group ( P<0.05). (3) Fibrous tissue proliferation: at 16 days after treatment, the joint capsular structure in the blank control group was complete and clear, the fibers were arranged in order, and there was no obvious fibrous tissue proliferation. The pathological changes in the injury group were the most serious, with a large number of synovial fibrous tissue proliferation, significantly increased blood vessels in the tissue, and inflammatory cell infiltration. Compared with the SPS group and BTX-A group, the lesions in BTX-A+SPS group were milder, with only slight increase in the number of synovial cells but no obvious vascular proliferation or lymphocytes, and the overall lesions were the least severe. (4) Protein expression: the ratios of p-Smad2/Smad2 in the injury group, BTX-A group and SPS group were 1.552±0.234, 1.328±0.272 and 1.194±0.277 respectively, which were higher than 0.794±0.082 in the blank control group ( P<0.05). The ratio of p-Smad2/Smad2 in the BTX-A+SPS group was 1.013±0.123, which was not significantly different from those in the blank control group, BTX-A group or SPS group ( P>0.05), but was lower than that in the injury group ( P<0.05). At 16 days after treatment, the p-Smad3/Smad3 ratios in the injury group, BTX-A group, SPS group and BTX-A+SPS group were 2.272±0.309, 1.664±0.285, 1.381±0.276 and 1.003±0.060 respectively, which were higher than 0.515±0.051 in the blank control group ( P<0.05). The p-Smad3/Smad3 ratio in the BTX-A+SPS group was significantly lower than those in the injury group, BTX-A group and SPS group ( P<0.05). At 16 days after treatment, the level of Smad4 in the injury group (1.001±0.015) was higher than 0.294±0.076 in the blank control group ( P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference between the BTX-A group (0.664±0.051), SPS group (0.833±0.045), BTX-A+SPS group (0.467±0.068) or the blank control group ( P>0.05). The level of Smad4 in the BTX-A+SPS group was significantly lower than those in the injury group, BTX-A group and SPS group ( P<0.05). At 16 days after treatment, the level of TGF-β1 in the injury group (1.004±0.407) was higher than 0.269±0.122 in the blank control group ( P<0.05), while there was no significant difference between the BTX-A group (0.564±0.194), SPS group (0.422±0.086) and BTX-A+SPS group (0.347±0.161) and the blank control group ( P>0.05). The level of TGF-β1 in the BTX-A+SPS group was significantly lower than those in the injury group, BTX-A group and SPS group ( P<0.05). At 16 days after treatment, the level of type I collagen in the injury group was 0.999±0.170, higher than 0.299±0.139 in the blank control group ( P<0.05), while there was no significant difference between the BTX-A group (0.542±0.278), SPS group (0.561±0.165), and BTX-A+SPS group (0.537±0.045) and the blank control group ( P>0.05). The level of collagen type I in the BTX-A+SPS group was significantly lower than those in the injury group, BTX-A group, and SPS group ( P<0.05). At 16 days after treatment, the level of type III collagen in the injury group was 1.002±0.126, higher than 0.239±0.106 in the blank control group ( P<0.05), while there was no significant difference between the BTX-A group (0.661±0.062), SPS group (0.595±0.062), and BTX-A+SPS group (0.504±0.269) and the blank control group ( P>0.05). The level of collagen type III in the BTX-A+SPS group was significantly lower than those in the injury group, BTX-A group, and SPS group ( P<0.05). At 16 days after treatment, the level of α-SMA in the injury group was 0.998±0.074, higher than 0.130±0.023 in the blank control group ( P<0.05), while there was no significant difference between the BTX-A group (0.358±0.060), SPS group (0.432±0.230), and BTX-A+SPS group (0.293±0.135) and the blank control group ( P>0.05). The level of α-SMA in the BTX-A+SPS group was significantly lower than those in the injury group, BTX-A group and SPS group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with single treatment, the combination of BTX-A and SPS demonstrates significantly greater efficacy in the treatment of traumatic knee stiffness in rats. This combined approach not only enhances joint mobility and elasticity but also effectively inhibits joint capsule fibrosis. The underlying mechanism may involve the further suppression of TGF-β1 expression in the joint capsule, leading to reduced phosphorylation levels of Smad2 and Smad3. This, in turn, inhibits the binding of Smad2 and Smad3 to the Smad4 receptor, ultimately downregulating the expression of the downstream proteins of the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway, such as collagen type I, collagen type III and α-SMA.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the main components and potential mechanisms of Sangqi Qingxuan Liquid in the treatment of arterial vascular endothelial cells (AVECs) injury in hypertension through network pharmacology. METHODS: Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology and Analysis Platform (TCMSP) and Traditional Chinese Medicine Integrated Database (TCMID) were used to screen the active components of Sangqi Qingxuan Liquid (SQQX), which met the oral utilization rate and drug similarity criteria. An active component-target network was constructed using Cytoscape 3.6 software. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of targets associated with SQQX treatment for hypertension was constructed using the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins (STRING) database. The Metascape database was used to perform enrichment analysis of gene ontology biological functions and MSigDB pathway enrichment analysis of proteins in the PPI network. Further analysis of the main components of SQQX was performed using UPLC-MS. Based on the results of network pharmacology, the mechanism of SQQX to improve the injury of AVECs in hypertension was verified through lentiviral transfection by Wnt/ β -catenin signaling pathway. AVECs induced by angiotensin II (Ang II ) was used to establish a model of endothelial function injury in hypertension. Cell viability, intracellular nitric oxide content, malonaldehyde content, and superoxide dismutase activity were measured to determine the optimal induction conditions. The optimal intervention conditions for SQQX were determined based on cell viability, cellular DNA activity, and the gradient method. The cells were further divided into blank, model, overexpression lentivirus negative control, overexpression lentivirus, overexpression lentivirus + SQQX intervention (2.47 mg/mL, 12 h), inhibition lentivirus negative control, inhibition lentivirus, and inhibition lentivirus + SQQX intervention (2.47 mg/mL, 12 h) groups. Finally, quantitative real-time PCR and Western blotting were performed to analyze the molecular mechanisms of SQQX in the Wnt/ β -catenin signaling pathway. RESULTS: The main SQQX components were betaine, buddleoside, and chlorogenic acid, in descending order. Network pharmacology analysis screened 12 pathways associated with the hypertensive vascular endothelium. The results showed that 1 µ mol/L for 12 h was the optimal condition for Ang II to induce AVECs injury, and 2.47 mg/mL SQQX intervention for 12 h was the optimal condition for treating AVECs injury. In the experimental validation based on the interaction network of the Wnt/ β -catenin signaling pathway, SQQX significantly decreased the expressions of β -catenin, Smad2, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), and endothelin-1 (ET-1) caused by the β -catenin overexpression lentivirus (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The function of vascular endothelial cells can be improved by the β -catenin inhibition lentivirus, and no obvious changes were observed after further intervention with SQQX. CONCLUSION SQQX may protect against AVECs injury by regulating the Wnt/β -catenin signaling pathway.

Objective:To introduce a new design of super-micro flap for endoscopic ear surgery, and to evaluate the application effect of super-micro flap in endoscopic tympanoplasty. Methods:Between January, 2023 and March, 2024, 58 patients（64 ears） with tympanosclerosis underwent tympanoplasty with super-micro flap. Continuous irrigating mode endoscopic ear surgery（CIM-EES） was used to complete type Ⅱ or Ⅲ tympanoplasty with the tragus cartilage with followed up for 12 to 24 months. The operation time, postoperative efficacy and complications were statistically analyzed. Results:Of the 64 ears, 63 ears had primary healing of the tympanic membrane, and 1 ear had cartilage necrosis due to multi-drug resistant bacteria infection. The second operation was performed one year later, and the success rate of operation was 98.40%. The average operation time was （48.40±8.86） minutes. The average hearing threshold of 0.5 kHz to 4.0 kHz before operation was （59.63±10.62） dB HL, and the average air conduction threshold of 0.5 kHz to 4.0 kHz one year after operation was（38.79±10.91） dB HL, which was significantly improved compared with that before operation（P<0.01）. Bone conduction threshold also improved significantly （24.49±8.55） dB HL vs（21.88±7.58） dB HL（P<0.01）. No outer tympanic membrane healing and ear canal scar stenosis occurred. Conclusion:The design of super-micro flap can effectively solve the interference of flap floating during continuous irrigating mode in endoscopic ear surgery, relieve the difficulty of flap reposition, simplify the operation process, help to shorten the operation time, and reduce the possibility of circular scar stenosis of conventional free flap, which provides a new flap design option for endoscopic ear surgery.
