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 provide technical support for improving recognition rate of adverse drug events （ADEs） related to traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） formula granules and decoction pieces among inpatient patients. METHODS By referencing the global trigger tool （GTT） whitepaper， literature on adverse reactions to TCM， and expert review opinions， ADE trigger items for TCM formula granules and decoction pieces used in the inpatients were established. GTT was applied to analyze ADEs in inpatients who had used TCM formula granules and decoction pieces in our hospital from August 2013 to August 2023， utilizing the Chinese Hospital Pharmacovigilance System. The effectiveness of GTT and the characteristics of these ADEs were analyzed. RESULTS A total of forty-eight triggers were established， including thirty-two laboratory test indexes， thirteen clinical symptoms， and three antidotes. Among the 1 682 patients included， GTT identified 652 potential ADEs， 284 true positive ADEs，with a trigger rate of 38.76% and a positive predictive value of 43.56%. After review by the auditor， 278 cases of ADEs were finally confirmed， with an incidence rate of 16.53%， significantly higher than the number of spontaneously reported ADEs during the same period （0）. The 278 cases of ADEs were mostly grade 1 （223 cases）， mainly involving hepatobiliary system， gastrointestinal system， blood- lymphatic system， etc；a total of 219 types of TCMs are involved，and the top five suspected TCMs used at a frequency higher than 1% were Poria cocos， Codonopsis pilosula， Atractylodes macrocephala， fried Glycyrrhiza uralensis， and Scutellaria baicalensis. CONCLUSIONS The established GTT can improve the recognition rate of ADEs for hospitalized patients using traditional Chinese medicine formula granules and decoction pieces.

Objective To establish a chronic rejection (CR) model of mouse heart transplantation and analyze its characteristics. Methods Allogeneic BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice were used as donor and recipient for heart transplantation, and intraperitoneal injection of cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4-immunoglobulin (CTLA4-Ig) was given 1 and 2 days after surgery. Graft survival time, donor specific antibody (DSA) level, graft pathology and inflammatory cell infiltration were observed. Results In allogeneic transplantation model, graft survival time was prolonged after CTLA4-Ig treatment [(28.2±4.1) d vs. (7.0±0.7) d, P < 0.01]. The level of serum DSA-IgG increased at 2, 3 and 4 weeks after surgery, while the level of DSA-IgM remained unchanged. Myocardial cell injury, inflammatory cell infiltration, interstitial fibrosis and C4d deposition in capillaries were aggravated 3 weeks after operation and worsened 4 weeks after operation. The infiltrated immune cells were mainly macrophages, T cells and plasma cells. Conclusions Mouse allogeneic heart transplantation combined with CTLA4-Ig successfully establishes a CR model, which provides a basis for subsequent studies on the pathogenesis and intervention of CR.

EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a common type of lung cancer, with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) being the standard first-line treatment. However, most patients with NSCLC eventually develop resistance to EGFR-TKIs. Studies on the mechanism underlying EGFR-TKI resistance have driven the development of personalized and precision medicine. Current strategies to address resistance include targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and novel drug treatments. Selecting the appropriate personalized treatment plan is crucial for improving the survival rate and quality of life of patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC. Thus, this study provides a brief review of the current status and future perspectives in the treatment of EGFR-mutant NSCLC after progression on EGFR-TKI therapy.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) poses a significant hazard to public health in China because of its high incidence, high mortality, and high rate of advanced stages. Early detection and treatment of HCC by screening for high-risk populations is instrumental for enhancing survival rates among patients with HCC in China. Liver resection, local ablation, interventional therapy, radiotherapy, and drug therapy are all effective treatments for patients with HCC, and appropriate treatments can be selected based on different tumor stages. However, the condition of patients with HCC in China is complicated, and no single specialty offers the complete spectrum of care. The disease-centered multidisciplinary team for HCC is a crucial method to prolong the survival of patients with HCC and optimize their quality of life. Recent advancements in different disciplines have brought new opportunities in HCC treatments and altered multidisciplinary management approaches. Meanwhile, new challenges have emerged, and many problems have yet to be addressed.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the contents of characteristic components in Hugan qingzhi formula （HGQZ） decoction and formulated granules and the pharmacodynamic consistency of them on high-fat diet-induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD） model mice， and explore their potential underlying mechanisms of action. METHODS Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to analyze and compare the contents of six characteristic components in HGQZ decoction and formulated granules. Male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into normal control group， model group， HGQZ decoction low- dose and high-dose groups （13， 26 g/kg， calculated by crude drugs）， and HGQZ formulated granules low-dose and high-dose groups （13， 26 g/kg， calculated by crude drugs）， with 6 mice in each group. Except for the normal control group， which was fed a regular diet， the mice in the other groups were fed a high-fat diet for 20 weeks to establish the NAFLD model； at the same time， the mice in each group were gavaged with the corresponding drugs/water once. The fasting blood glucose （FBG） levels， glucose and insulin tolerance， body weight， liver index， white adipose Δ 基金项目 国家自然科学基金项目（No.82074078）；广东省基础 tissue index， brown adipose tissue index， as well as lipid levels （total cholesterol， triglycerides） and liver function indicators （aspartate transaminase， alanine transaminase） were measured. Additionally， histopathological changes and lipid accumulation in liver tissues were observed. The serum samples of mice in the model group， HGQZ decoction high-dose group and HGQZ formulated granules high-dose group were taken for metabolomics analysis， and validation of the underlying mechanisms was conducted. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences in the contents of ginsenoside Rb1， typhaneoside， isorhamnetin-3-O-neohesperidoside， hyperoside， nuciferine， and 23-acetylalismol B between HGQZ decoction and HGQZ formulated granules （P＞0.05）. Compared with the model group， the hepatic histopathological changes in mice were alleviated in both the HGQZ decoction group and all dose groups of HGQZ formulated granules. Inflammatory cell infiltration and lipid vacuoles were reduced. Additionally， there was a general improvement in FBG levels， glucose tolerance， insulin tolerance， body weight， liver index， white/brown adipose tissue index， lipid levels， and liver function indicators （P＜0.05）. However， no statistically significant differences were observed between these treatment groups （P＞0.05）. There were 234 and 136 differentially expressed serum metabolites identified in the model group versus HGQZ decoction high-dose group， and model group versus HGQZ formulated granules high-dose group， respectively. After taking the intersection， 65 common differentially expressed metabolites were obtained， which were enriched in metabolic pathways such as purine metabolism and tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolism. Among these， the content of citrate in the model group was significantly lower than that in both the HGQZ decoction group and HGQZ formulated granules high-dose group （P＜0.05）. Both high-dose HGQZ decoction and formulated granules could significantly elevate the phosphorylation levels of AMP-activated protein kinase （AMPK） （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS HGQZ decoction and formulated granules contain comparable amounts of characteristic components， and both exhibit equivalent efficacy on NAFLD model mice. The anti-NAFLD effects of HGQZ are associated with the activation of the AMPK energy metabolism pathway.

ObjectiveTo screen key genes associated with neuroblastoma （NB） diagnosis and prognosis using the Gene Expression Omnibus （GEO） database， and to investigate the expression and clinical significance of nucleoporin 93 （NUP93） in NB tissues. MethodsNB gene chip data （GSE73517， GSE49710， GSE19274） were retrieved from the GEO database. Differentially expressed genes （DEGs） commonly upregulated in high-risk groups were screened. The R2 database was then used to assess the prognostic value of DEGs that were commonly upregulated in the MYCN amplification group. Finally， NUP93 expression levels in the tissues from 60 NB， 25 ganglioneuroblastoma （GNB）， and 26 ganglioneuroma （GN） cases were measured by immunohistochemistry . ResultsTwenty-five DEGs were identified as commonly upregulated in high-risk groups. Among these， 10 genes （SIVA1， NUP93， STIP1， LSM4， RAI14， MYOZ3， KNTC1， TNFRSF10B， TACC3 and CEP152） showed significantly higher expression in MYCN-amplified subgroups （P＜0.05）. Survival analysis revealed that high NUP93 expression was associated with shorter overall survival （HR = 4.0， 95% CI： 3.0，5.3， P = 1.80 × 10⁻³⁴）. Immunohistochemistry results revealed that NUP93 expression in NB tissues was significantly higher than in GNB and GN tissues （P＜0.001）. NUP93 expression was positively correlated with high mitosis-karyorrhexis index （MKI； P=0.040）， poor differentiation （P＜0.001）， and MYCN expression （r_s = 0.793， P ＜0.001）. ConclusionsHigh expression of NUP93 is associated with high MKI and poor differentiation， and predicts unfavorable prognosis in patients with NB， suggesting it may promote tumor progression by regulating MYCN. NUP93 has the potential to be a novel diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target for NB.

ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy of ovarian tissue cryopreservation and autologous transplantation in preserving fertility and ovarian endocrine function in patients with cervical cancer. MethodsA 26-year-old patient with stage ⅡA1 cervical cancer underwent ovarian tissue harvesting and cryopreservation during cancer surgery. Following complete remission of the cancer， autologous ovarian tissue transplantation was performed. Follow-up monitoring included assessment of menopausal symptoms， hormone levels， and follicular development. ResultsSix months after transplantation， follicle-stimulating hormone levels decreased to 6.60 U/L， and estradiol levels increased from ＜10.00 ng/L to 89.00 ng/L. At 10 months after transplantation， ultrasound monitoring confirmed follicular development and physiological ovulation in the transplanted ovarian tissue. By 15 months after transplantation， follicle-stimulating hormone levels remained stable at 7.24 U/L， and estradiol levels further increased to 368.00 ng/L. Over 2 years after transplantation， the patient successfully gave birth to a healthy baby through assisted reproductive technology. ConclusionThe restoration of endocrine and ovulation functions in the transplanted cryopreserved ovarian tissue， followed by successful pregnancy， demonstrates the clinical success of ovarian tissue transplantation.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the application of prostate-specific membrane antigen （PSMA）PET/CT in prostate biopsy screening， and propose effective strategies for prostate biopsy decision making based on PSMA PET/CT detection. MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on PSMA PET/CT imaging and clinical pathological data from 155 patients with suspected prostate cancer between January 2020 and December 2023. PRIMARY score was used as the standardized evaluation method for PSMA PET/CT in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. And compared the positive prostate biopsy rates， missed diagnosis rates and biopsy reduction rates were compared regarding different PRIMARY scores. Receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curves were used to analyze prostate-specific antigen （PSA） and its derived parameters and identify the most suitable supplementary screening indicators for combined use with the PRIMARY score. ResultsAmong patients with PRIMARY scores of 1 to 5， the proportions of patients diagnosed with prostate cancer were 15.8% （3/19）， 17.1% （7/41）， 50% （12/24）， 95.2% （20/21） and 98% （49/50）， respectively. Using PRIMARY score of 3-5 as the biopsy screening strategy resulted in a positive prostate biopsy rate of 85.3% and biopsy reduction rate of 38.7%， but a missed diagnosis rate of 11%. PSA density > 0.15 ng/（mL·cm³） was selected as a supplementary screening criterion to detect prostate cancer from patients with PRIMARY scores of 1-2. The combined application of the above two screening criteria reduced the missed diagnosis rate to 2.2%. ConclusionThis study proposes a novel biopsy screening strategy for suspected prostate cancer patients using PSMA PET/CT， that is， a PRIMARY score of 3-5 or a PRIMARY score of 1-2 but PSA density>0.15 ng/（mL·cm³）， which can effectively avoid unnecessary biopsies and significantly reduce the missed diagnosis rate.
