ObjectiveTo address the limitations of the current quality standard for Polygalae Radix（PR）， which relies on a single component for quality assessment and struggles to holistically control its intrinsic quality， by constructing a comprehensive quality evaluation system integrating "macro-characterization of chemical profile， synchronous quantification of multiple index components， and quantitative analysis of multi-components by single marker（QAMS） for key component groups". This study aims to facilitate the scientific revision of the quality standard for PR. MethodsHigh performance liquid chromatography（HPLC） characteristic chromatograms were established for 11 batches of PR medicinal materials（YZ）， 10 batches of PR decoction pieces（YP）， and 10 batches of licorice-processed PR decoction pieces（ZYZ）， followed by similarity evaluation and identification of common peaks. HPLC-QAMS was developed for xanthones（sibiricaxanthone B， polygalaxanthone Ⅺ， polygalaxanthone Ⅲ） in the characteristic chromatograms. Simultaneously， the external standard method（ESM） was used to determine the contents of the corresponding xanthones and 3，6'-disinapoyl sucrose in YZ， YP， and ZYZ， followed by multivariate statistical analysis and Spearman correlation analysis. ResultsThe similarity between the characteristic chromatograms of 31 batches of PR samples and the reference chromatogram was>0.9. A total of 13 common peaks were identified， and 10 of these peaks were characterized through reference standard comparison. The successfully constructed QAMS method showed that the relative correction factors（RCFs） of sibiricaxanthone B and polygalaxanthone Ⅺ to polygalaxanthone Ⅲ were 0.76 and 0.88， and their relative retention times（RRTs） were 0.85 and 0.97， respectively. The results calculated by the QAMS method showed no significant difference from those obtained by the ESM. According to the limit standard for polygalaxanthone Ⅲ in the 2020 edition of the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China（hereinafter referred to as the Chinese Pharmacopoeia）， the pass rate of 31 batches of samples was only 19.35%. Multivariate statistical analysis indicated certain compositional differences between different batches of YZ and YP， as well as between YP and ZYZ， with 3，6'-disinapoyl sucrose identified as the main differentiating component. Furthermore， correlation analysis revealed that the content of polygalaxanthone Ⅲ was positively correlated with the contents of sibiricaxanthone B and polygalaxanthone Ⅺ， but showed no association with the content of 3，6'-disinapoyl sucrose. ConclusionIt is recommended that the content limit for polygalaxanthone Ⅲ in YZ，YP and ZYZ be revised to not less than 0.07%， or the total content of polygalaxanthone Ⅲ， sibiricaxanthone B and polygalaxanthone Ⅺ be not less than 0.18%. The newly established triple quality control model of "holistic control via characteristic chromatograms， precise quantification of oligosaccharide esters， and efficient detection of xanthones by QAMS" provides a systematic and precise solution for quality evaluation of PR and similar Chinese herbal medicines.

Objective:To investigate the clinical diagnosis and treatment of IgG4-related disease（IgG4-RD） primarily involving the nasal cavity and skull base. Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 8 patients with IgG4-RD primarily involving the nasal cavity and skull base who visited the Nasal and Skull Base Surgery Department at Xiangya Hospital from October 2017 to January 2024. The cohort comprised 4 males and 4 females, aged 8 to 69 years. Clinical data, laboratory examination results, imaging findings, histopathological results, and treatment plans were collected. The clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up results of IgG4-RD primarily involving nasal cavity and skull base were summarized and previous literature were also reviewed. Results:The initial symptoms in the 8 patients included nasal congestion, headache, sensory function decline, and facial deformities. Three patients also had parotid and pulmonary involvement. Among the 8 patients, 4 underwent partial surgical resection combined with glucocorticoid therapy; 1 underwent partial surgical resection combined with glucocorticoid and immunosuppressant therapy; 1 received glucocorticoid therapy alone; and 2 received glucocorticoid combined with immunosuppressant therapy. Follow-up was conducted one month after treatment, lasting from 5 to 79 months. During the follow-up period, recurrence was observed in 1 patient treated with glucocorticoid combined with immunosuppressants and in 1 patient treated with glucocorticoid alone, while the other 6 patients achieved significant remission. Conclusion:The diagnosis of nasal cavity and skull base IgG4-RD requires the combination of histopathology, laboratory tests, and imaging results. Treatment primarily includes glucocorticoids or combined immunosuppressants. For patients with significant compression symptoms, sensory function impairment, or facial deformities, surgical resection is an important treatment option. Given the high risk of recurrence, early intervention, active treatment, and long-term follow-up are crucial.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the changes in P(cv-a)CO?/C(a-cv)O? ratio and hypoxic states in patients with hemorrhagic shock after effective fluid resuscitation.Methods Thirty hemorrhagic shock patients who were admitted to ICU Dongguan Eighth People's Hospital from October 1,2021 to November 30,2023 were selected as research objects.All the patients underwent early fluid resuscitation.Arterial and central venous blood gas analysis was performed,and arterial lactate concentration was measured before resuscitation,and at 2 h,6 h,12 h,and 24 h after resuscitation.The P(cv-a)CO2/C(a-cv)O2,the gradient of P(cv-a)CO2/C(a-cv)O2,and lactate clearance rate were calculated.Results There was a positive correlation between the P(cv-a)CO?/C(a-cv)O? ratio and lactate concentration,as well as between the gradient of P(cv-a)CO?/C(a-cv)O? and lactate clearance rate at each time point(P<0.05).There were significant differences in the P(cv-a)CO?/C(a-cv)O?,gradient of P(cv-a)CO?/C(a-cv)O?,and lactate clearance rate after resuscitation among patients with different prognoses(P<0.05).Conclusion The P(cv-a)CO2/C(a-cv)O2 and its change rate,as well as lactate clearance rate,can predict the prognosis of patients with hemorrhagic shock.

Cryoablation therapy with explicit anti-tumor mechanisms and histopathological manifestations has a long history.A large number of clinical practice has shown that cryoablation therapy is safe and effective,making it an ideal tumor treatment method in theory.Previously,its efficacy and clinical application were constrained by the limitations of refrigerants and refrigeration equipment.With the development of the new generation of cryoablation equipment represented by argon helium knives,significant progress has been made in refrigeration efficien-cy,ablation range,and precise temperature measurement,greatly promoting the progression of tumor cryoablation technology.This consensus systematically summarizes the mechanism of cryoablation technology,indications for oral mucosal melanoma(OMM)cryotherapy,clinical treatment process,adverse reactions and management,cryotherapy combination therapy,etc.,aiming to provide reference for carrying out the standardized cryoablation therapy of OMM.

Originally used as an antimalarial drug,hydroxychloroquine is now widely used in the treatment of rheumatic immune diseases due to its cost-effectiveness,safety,and efficacy.In addition to its immunomodulatory effects,hydroxychloroquine also exhibits anti thrombotic,anti-hypolipidemic,and anti-hypoglycemic properties.Hydroxychloroquine blood levels are correlated with clinical outcomes and adverse reactions,and can reflect patient compliance.However,due to the complex pharmacokinetic profile of hydroxychloroquine,significant inter-individual differences in blood concentration exist even with the administration of the same dosage.This study investigates the factors affecting the blood concentration of hydroxychloroquine in terms of physiological factors,pathological factors,metabolic enzyme gene polymorphisms,and drug-related factors.The aim is to provide a reference for rational clinical use and the development of individualized dosing.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effect of digital technology assisted design of fibula flap for the repair of maxillary tumor defect and implant denture.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed in patients with benign maxillary tumors who were admitted to Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou Universityfrom March 2018 to October 2020. Before the surgery, the virtual tumor resection, fibula reconstruction and stereomodels were printed for the fabrication of fibular osteotomy guide plates.And titanium plates were prefabricated with the stereomodels. Personalized titanium meshes were prebent manually. During the operation, the tumor was removed according to the osteotomy guide plate.The fibula was reshaped according to the surgical plan and the guide plate.And maxillary defects were reconstructed using the fibular flap combined with a prebent personalized titanium mesh.Straumann implants were implanted 6-9 months after bone grafting.The upper porcelain crown was repaired 3-4 months after implantation to restore the occlusal relationship and masticatory function. The facial appearance, masticatory function and peri-implant inflammation were followed up.Results:A total of 12 cases were included in this study, 7 males and 5 females, aged 20-55 years, with a median age 36 years old. Among them, there were 3 cases of ossifying fibroma, 7 cases of ameloblastoma, and 2 cases of odontogenic myxoma.According to the James Brown classification, there were 4 cases of Type Ⅱb, 3 cases of Type Ⅱc, 3 cases of Type Ⅱd, and 2 cases of Type Ⅲb. Tumor resection and fibula reconstruction went smoothly in 12 patients and all the free fibular flaps survived 14 days after surgery. The patients had maxillofacial symmetry, good occlusal relationship after the implant repair, and normal chewing and masticatory functions, after 12-48 months of follow-up, with an average of 26 months. The mouth opening reached 2.8-3.3 cm, without obvious peri-implantitis.Conclusion:The use of digital technology to design fibula flap to repair the defect after maxillary tumor resection and implant denture can not only restore the patients’ facial contour, but also restore their occlusal relationship and masticatory function.

Objective:To analysis the molecular characteristics of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), to unravel its pathophysiological mechanisms, and to develop a prognostic model capable of effectively predicting postoperative recurrence.Methods:The data from three datasets (GSE198950, GSE179265, and GSE136825) were integrated, comprising 39 control cases, 16 cases of chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps, and 89 cases of CRSwNP. Differential expression genes (DEGs) were identified based on adjusted P<0.05 and Log2FC>1. KEGG and GO enrichment analyses, as well as STRING node scoring, were conducted. Variable selection was performed using random forest and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression (LASSO), with key nodes identified through intersection analysis. Mann-Whitney U test was applied, and variables with P<0.05 were included in the model. A prognostic model for CRSwNP was constructed using logistic regression, externally validated using RNA-seq data, and evaluated with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis to calculate the area under the curve (AUC). Results:This research illustrated both upregulated and downregulated DEGs in CRSwNP, activating pathways like neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction and IL-17 signaling, while inhibiting calcium signaling and gap junctions. Key nodes identified through random forest and LASSO, including G protein subunit γ4 ( U=3.00 P=0.028), Cholecystokinin ( U=0.50, P=0.006), Epidermal growth factor ( U=1.00 P=0.008), and Neurexin-1 ( U=0.00, P=0.004), showing statistical significance in external validation. The prognostic model, visualized in a line graph, exhibited high reliability (C-index=0.875,AUC=0.866). The ROC curve in external validation indicated its effectiveness in predicting postoperative recurrence (AUC=0.859). Conclusions:This study integrates multiple datasets on CRSwNP to provide a comprehensive description of its molecular features. The prognostic model, built upon key nodes identified through random forest and LASSO analyses, demonstrates high accuracy in both internal and external validations, thus providing robust support for the development of personalized treatment strategies for CRSwNP.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of nasal pedicle tissue flap based on nasal blood supply in the reconstruction of nasal skull base defects.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 138 clinical cases of skull base tumors and cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea treated at the Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery at Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from March 2017 to March 2023. A total of 79 males and 59 females were enrolled, aged from 8 to 82 years, with a median age of 51 years, including 108 patients (78.3%) with skull base tumors and 30 patients (21.7%) with cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea (and/or meningoencephalocele). During the surgery, 88 cases (63.8%) were repaired with nasal septal mucosal flaps pedicled with the posterior nasal septal artery, 14 cases (10.1%) with mucosal flaps pedicled with the anterior ethmoidal artery on the lateral wall of the nasal cavity, 6 cases (4.3%) with mucosal flaps pedicled with the posterior lateral nasal artery on the lateral wall and nasal floor, 12 cases (8.7%) with mucosal flaps pedicled with the anterior ethmoidal artery and posterior ethmoidal artery, and 18 cases (13.0%) with nasal septal mucosal extension flaps pedicled with the sphenopalatine artery or internal maxillary artery. Patients were followed up for 12 to 72 months postoperatively. Endoscopic examination or skull base enhanced MRI was performed to assess the growth and tumor recurrence in the skull base repair area. The t-test was used for statistical analysis.Results:Among 138 patients, primary repair was successful in 133 patients (96.4%), while 5 patients (3.6%) experienced postoperative cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea. These 5 patients all underwent nasal septal mucosal flap repair with the posterior nasal septal artery as the pedicle. Complications included 1 case of mucosal flap necrosis, 1 case of mucosal flap central perforation, and 3 cases of mucosal flap survival peripheral leakage, of which were all successfully treated with a second repair.Conclusion:The use of nasal pedicle mucosal flap based on nasal blood supply is a reliable, safe, and effective technique for repairing skull base defects.
