Recent studies have shown that the physiological homeostasis of oral mucosal cells is regulated by the circadian clock.Dis-ruption or dysfunction of the circadian clock is closely associated with the development of oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC).Research based on the circadian clock offers a novel perspective on the pathogenesis and therapeutic strategies for OSCC.However,there is current-ly limited research on this topic,and people generally have insufficient understanding and recognition of the circadian clock.Given the complexity and challenges of circadian clock which is the fourth dimension of medical research,we organize relevant experts based on summarizing the current research results of circadian clock in the pathogenesis and precision diagnosis and treatment of OSCC,combining the scientific principles of the circadian clock's role and their long-term research experience,then summarizes and recommends the con-sensus opinions for the research of circadian clock in the pathogenesis mechanism and precision diagnosis and treatment of human OSCC,with the hope of providing guidance for the basic research and clinical application of circadian clock or circadian rhythm in the pathogene-sis mechanism and precision diagnosis and treatment of oral and maxillofacial squamous cell carcinoma.

Objective To explore the correlation between the total imaging burden of cerebral small vessel disease(CSVD)and heart rate variability(HRV)in elderly patients with hypertension.Methods A total of 256 elderly patients with hypertension admitted to Department of Neurolo-gy,Changzhou Second People's Hospital form September 2021 to December 2022 were consecu-tively recruited in this study.According to the total brain MRI burden,they were divided into scored 0-2 group(180 cases)and 3-4 group(76 cases).Their general clinical data and HRV parameters were compared between the two groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between HRV and total CSVD burden in these patients,and Spearman correlation analysis was employed used to analyze the correlation between HRV and to-tal CSVD burden,and between blood pressure variability and HRV.Results Older age,longer course of hypertension,and higher homocysteine level were observed in the group of scored 3-4 than the group of 0-2(P＜0.01).The former group had significantly lower SDNN,SDANN,ASDNN,rMSSD,PNN50,LF and HF when compared with the latter group(all P＜0.01).But there was no statistical difference in LF/HF ratio between the two groups(P＞0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that SDNN(OR=0.989,95％CI:0.979-0.999,P=0.034),SDANN(OR=0.988,95％CI:0.977-0.999,P=0.039)and rMSSD(OR=0.965,95％CI:0.938-0.994,P=0.016)were independent risk factors for total burden of severe CSVD in elderly hypertensive patients.Spearman correlation analysis showed that SDNN,SDANN,ASDNN,rMSSD,PNN50,LF and HF were negatively correlated with the total CSVD burden(P＜0.01);the standard deviation of 24-h SBP was negatively correlated with SDNN,SDANN and rMSSD(P＜0.01);the coefficient of variation of 24-h SBP was negatively correlated with SDNN,SDANN and rMSSD(P＜0.01).Conclusion HRV is an independent risk factor for total burden of severe CSVD in elderly hypertensive patients,and HRV parameters are negatively correlated with the to-tal CSVD burden.

Objective To explore the correlation between the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease and the polymorphism of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase ( MTHFR ) .Methods 130 cases of coronary heart disease diagnosed and treated in Heze Municiple Hospital from July 2015 to July 2017 were selected as observation group .At the same time,130 healthy people were selected as control group .The serum folate and homocysteine ( HCY) levels were compared between the two groups .At the same time, polymerase chain reaction -restriction fragment length polymorphism was used to analyze the MTHFR gene polymorphisms .The distribution of MTHFR gene polymorphism was compared between the two groups .Results The level of serum folic acid in the observation group was (5.76 ± 2.14)g/L,which was significantly lower than (7.34 ±2.43)g/L in the control group (t=5.64,P<0.05).The level of serum HCY in the observation group was (15.46 ±5.74)μmol/L,which was significantly higher than (10.28 ± 4.38)μmol/L in the control group (t=6.43,P<0.05).The frequencies of TT type,TC type and CC type of MTHFR gene in the observation group were 36.92％,46.92％and 16.15％,respectively.The frequencies of TT type,TC type and CC type of MTHFR gene in the control group were 21.54％,55.38％ and 23.08％,respectively.The frequency of TT type in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (χ2 =8.25,P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in folic acid levels among different gene types in the observationgroup(t=1.31,0.55,0.73,all P>0.05),but the serum HCY level of TT type was significantly higher than that of CT type and CC type in the observation group (t=5.33,4.62,all P<0.05).Conclusion Serum folic acid level, HCY level and homozygous mutations of MTHFR gene type have certain relationship with the occurrence of coronary heart disease ,the body serum folic acid level and the distribution of MTHFR genotypes can affect the concentration of HCY,thus affecting the occurrence of coronary heart disease .

Objective To explore the relationship between the levels of plasma coagulation factors (F) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in low age period (<60 years old) and their diagnostic value in diagnosing AMI in low age period.Methods One hundred and sixty inpatients with low age AMI in the cardiology department of the Heze Municipal Hospital were selected as the case group,and contemporaneous 160 cases of low age non-AMI served as the control group.F Ⅱ,FⅦ,FⅧ,fibrinogen (Fg) and von willebrand (vWF) were measured with enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent anti-sandwich assay.The relationship between coagulation factors and low age AMI was analyzed with univariate and multivariate analysis,and their value for diagnosing low age AMI was evaluated with diagnostic test and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve.Results The univariate analysis showed that FⅡ,FⅦ,FⅧ and Fg levels had significantly statistical difference between the case group and control group(P<0.05),and the vWF level had no statistically difference(P>0.05).The multivariate analysis indicated that the FⅡ level≥ 14.27 μg/L and FⅦ level ≥22.99 μg/L were the independent risk factors for low age AMI.The value of FⅡ for diagnosing low age AMI was lower,and the optimal cut off value of Fg for diagnosing low age AMI was 22.99 μg/L,its area under ROC curve was 0.709 with a moderate diagnostic value,and the sensitivity (91.88%) and negative predictive value (86.02%) were higher,the false negative rate (13.98%) was lower,and the accuracy (70.94%) was moderate.Conclusion The FⅡ level ≥14.27 μg/L and Fg level ≥22.99 μg/L are the independent risk factors for low age AMI,and detecting the Fg level could have hint significance in diagnosing low age AMI.
