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 viral composition in respiratory samples from hospitalized children with acute respiratory infections in Yancheng,Jiangsu province,between January 2024 and June 2025 using metagenomic next-generation sequencing(mNGS).Methods:A total of 247 respiratory specimens,including throat swabs,sputum,and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid,were collected from 247 hospitalized children in Yancheng,Jiangsu province,during the study period. The viral composition in these samples was detected and analyzed using mNGS technology.Results:Among the 247 cases,there were 136 cases of pneumonia(including 4 cases of severe pneumonia),45 cases of bronchopneumonia,27 cases of upper respiratory tract infection,and 39 cases of bronchitis. The ages of the patients ranged from 41 days to 14 years,with a median age of 3 years. High-throughput sequencing results showed that the positive detection rate for viruses in the respiratory samples was 89.88%(222/247),The detection rate of viruses causing respiratory tract infections was 69.23%(171/247),With RNA viruses detected in 71.65%(177/247)of the cases and DNA viruses in 43.32%(107/247). The top three viruses detected were rhinovirus(24.29%,60/247),human herpesvirus 7(HHV-7)(21.86%,54/247),and influenza A H1N1(20.24%,50/247). The common detected viruses that cause respiratory infections are rhinovirus(24.29%),influenza A virus H1N1(20.24%),RSV(17.81%),metapneumovirus(10.53%),enterovirus(6.88%),parainfluenza virus(6.07%),bocavirus(6.07%),coronavirus(2.43%),and adenovirus(2.43%). In children with pneumonia,the top two respiratory viruses detected were rhinovirus(19.85%,27/136)and influenza A H1N1(16.91%,23/136). In children with bronchopneumonia,the main viruses detected were rhinovirus(31.11%,14/45)and respiratory syncytial virus(24.44%,11/45). In children with upper respiratory tract infections,the main viruses detected were influenza A H1N1(33.33%,9/27)and rhinovirus(25.93%,7/27). In children with bronchitis,the main viruses detected were rhinovirus(30.77%,12/39)and respiratory syncytial virus(25.64%,10/39). Among the 4 cases of severe pneumonia,the viruses detected were influenza A H1N1(2/4),respiratory syncytial virus(1/4),and bocavirus(1/4).Conclusion:mNGS analysis revealed a high positive detection rate of respiratory viruses(89.88%)in hospitalized children with acute respiratory infections in Yancheng,Jiangsu,from January 2024 to June 2025,with influenza A H1N1 and rhinovirus being the most predominant.

Objective To explore the optimal morning discharge time and pipeline disinfection frequency of the fi-nal rinse water from the endoscopy center according to the microbial culture results.Methods Different morning discharge timing and number of bacterial colonies in the pipeline for the final rinse water from the endoscopy center of a hospital in Jiangsu Province were monitored.Microbial detection was conducted on water samples collected from the two final rinse water sampling sites in the endoscopy room after 0,1,3,5,and 7 minutes of discharge,respec-tively(100 mL each,continuously monitored for 35 days,with 70 samples at each time point)to explore the optimal discharge timing.The optimal disinfection frequency of pipelines for purified water was explored according to the determined optimal morning discharge timing.Two samples were taken daily from 2 sampling sites after pipeline disinfection and continued for 5 weeks,resulting in 70 samples in total.Results Sampling and monitoring of the fi-nal rinse water at different morning discharge time points showed that the median numbers of bacterial colonies at 0,1,3,5,and 7 minutes were 745.00(373.00,1 452.50),150.00(96.75,235.75),44.00(38.00,48.00),12.00(5.00,18.00),and 6.00(4.00,9.00)CFU/100 mL,respectively.Except the difference between the 5 minute group and the 7 minute group(P>0.05),differences among all the other groups were statistically significant(all P<0.05).The median of the 0,1,3,and 5 minute groups was>10 CFU/100 mL,while the median of the 7 mi-nute group was<10 CFU/100 mL,within the qualified range.The discharge time was therefore determined to be 7 minutes.The average numbers of bacterial colonies from the final rinse water samples taken at different time points after pipeline disinfection(1,2,3,4,and 5 weeks after disinfection)were(4.21±0.86),(4.43±0.71),(6.00±0.56),(6.43±0.45),and(13.57±1.03)CFU/100 mL,respectively.The qualification rates of pipeline in terms of bacterial colony were 100%,100%,100%,100%,and 28.57%,respectively.The differences of average num-bers of bacterial colonies from the final rinse water samples taken at different time points after pipeline disinfection were statistically significant(P<0.001).The average number of bacterial colonies 5 weeks after pipeline disinfec-tion was different from those after 1,2,3,and 4 weeks,with statistically significant differences(all P<0.05),while no statistically significant differences among the other groups were observed(all P>0.05).The optimal disin-fection frequency for the purified water pipeline was once every 4 weeks.Conclusion The final rinse water remai-ning in the terminal of pipeline is contaminated to a certain degree.It is recommended to discharge water in the morning for 7 minutes before using it,and disinfect the purified water pipeline every 4 weeks.
