Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) accounts for over 90% of oral malignancies, with more than 370 000 new cases and approximately 188 000 deaths annually worldwide. In China, there are roughly 65 000 new cases and 35 000 deaths each year, showing a significant upward trend compared with 2015 statistics. Despite continuous advancements in treatment modalities, the 5-year survival rate remains stagnant at 50%-60%, where tumor heterogeneity and therapy resistance persist as fundamental barriers to precision oncology. To address these critical challenges, this study established a standardized bioban-king protocol for OSCC patient-derived organoids (PDOs) (Patent: Method for constructing an oral squamous cell carcinoma organoid bank, ZL202311378598.3). Through groundbreaking optimization of culture media, enzymatic digestion kinetics, and stepwise cryopreservation, we achieved a biobanking success rate exceeding 95% and pioneered synchronous cultivation of matched primary tumors, lymph node metastases, and adjacent normal mucosa from individual patients, preserving spatial heterogeneity and stromal interactions. Leveraging this platform, we developed high-throughput drug screening: Quantified heterogeneity-driven differential chemoresponse using adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-based viability assays; We discovered resistance mechanisms: Identified sialylated cancer IgG (SIA-cIgG)-mediated cis-platin resistance (primary/secondary) through PTPN13 suppression, with anti-SIA-cIgG combination therapy demonstrating synergistic efficacy. Besides, we elucidated metastatic drivers: CRISPR-Cas9-edited organoids revealed WDR54 promoted metastasis via H3K4me3/H4K16ac epigenetic reprogramming, activating epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity (EMP) and inducing partial epithelial-mesenchymal transition (pEMT). This "holographic patient-mirroring" platform provided unprecedented resolution for OSCC precision therapy and had been formally incorporated into the Chinese Stomatological Association Technical Guidelines (Technical guideline for establishing patient-derived oral squamous cell carcinoma organoid banks, CHSA 2024-08). Future integration of immune-competent organoids, 3D-bioprinted vasculature, and multi-omics-AI systems will accelerate personalized oncology. These innovations will accelerate clinical translation of personalized therapeutic regimens, ultimately bridging the gap between bench research and bedside application.

OBJECTIVES: Color doppler flow imaging (CDFI) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) were utilized to evaluate changes in mucosal vascular parameters and the osteogenic effects following guided bone regeneration (GBR) in the maxillary anterior region using trapezoidal or modified triangular flaps. METHODS: Patients undergoing single maxillary anterior dental implant surgery with GBR were randomly allocated into two groups: a trapezoidal flap group and a modified triangular flap group. After GBR surgery, the mucosal vascular parameters at the surgical site were assessed at various time intervals (preoperative, 2 h, 1 and 3 days, and 1, 2, and 4 weeks postoperative) using CDFI. In addition, the effects of bone augmentation were evaluated through the analysis of CBCT images obtained preoperatively, 2 h, and 6 months postoperative. RESULTS: The buccal mucosa in the edentulous area had a lower blood flow rate than the corresponding tooth in the same jaw, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). The mucosal blood flow rate in the surgical area increased compared with that in the preoperative period. The peak flow rate was recorded at 2 weeks postoperatively and then decreased to levels comparable to those of the reference tooth. A statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups (P<0.05). The buccal alveolar ridge width of the implant platform was reduced by (1.3±0.9) mm in the trapezoidal flap group and (0.9±0.7) mm in the modified triangular flap group, respectively, at 6 months postoperatively, compared with 2 h postoperative. The buccal alveolar ridge width of the 5 mm from the implant platform was reduced by (0.9±0.6) mm and (0.3±0.6) mm, respectively. The buccal alveolar ridge width of the 10 mm from the implant platform was reduced by (0.6±0.8) mm and (0.2±0.6) mm, respectively. The height of the alveolar ridge was reduced by (1.9±1.4 ) mm and (1.4±1.3) mm. The change in graft volume was (136±78 ) mm³ and (114±85) mm³. However, the differences between the two groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS When a tooth is missing, blood flow to the buccal mucosa on the side of the missing tooth is reduced. The modified triangular flap group demonstrated superior microcirculation of blood flow in the operative area after GBR of the maxillary anterior teeth. Trapezoidal and modified triangular flaps achieved the anticipated bone augmentation during bone augmentation surgery in the maxillary anterior region, with no considerable effect on the changes in alveolar bone size parameters.

Objective To explore the efficacy of 4R technology combined with prone five-direction cer-vical muscle strength training for neck type cervical spondylosis.Methods A total of 112 patients with neck and shoulder pain who visited the Affiliated Shapingba Hospital of Chongqing University and the Shapingba District Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Chongqing from January to November 2024 were selected as research subjects.They were randomly assigned using a random number table method into an observation group and a control group,with 56 patients in each group.The observation group received 4R technology com-bined with prone five-direction cervical muscle strength training,while the control group received conventional rehabilitation treatment.Both interventions lasted for 4 weeks.Differences in Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)scores,Neck Disability Index(NDI)scores,and cervical range of motion in flexion,extension,lateral bending,and rota-tion were assessed before treatment and at 1 and 6 months after treatment for both groups.Results At 1 and 6 months of treatment,VAS scores in both groups decreased compared to before treatment,with the observation group lower than the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).At 1 and 6 months of treatment,NDI scores in both groups decreased compared to before treatment,with the observation group lower than the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).At 1 and 6 months of treatment,cervical flexion,cervical extension,and cervical lateral flexion in both groups increased compared to before treatment,and cervical rotation in the observation group increased compared to before treatment.Cervical extension and cervical rotation in the observation group were greater than those in the con-trol group,and only at 6 months of treatment was cervical lateral flexion in the observation group greater than in the control group,with all differences statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The 4R technology combined with prone five-direction cervical muscle strength training can effectively improve cervical-type cer-vical spondylosis.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of conversion therapy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)with macrovascular invasion.Methods A total of 149 patients with advanced HCC with macrovascular invasion who were treated at our hospital from Jul.2019 to Jun.2021 were enrolled.All patients received systemic therapy combined with local therapy,and were assigned to conversion therapy group(n=42)and non-conversion therapy group(n=107)according to whether they ultimately underwent surgical treatment.The long-term prognosis and adverse reactions of these patients after conversion therapy were analyzed.Results The median event-free survival of 149 patients was 15.5 months,and the median overall survival had not been reached.The median event-free survival in the conversion therapy and non-conversion therapy groups were 19.8 months and 10.7 months,respectively,with the median overall survival being not reached and 28.2 months,respectively.Multifactor Cox regression analysis showed that conversion therapy was a protective factor for overall survival(hazard ratio[HR]=0.125,95％confidence interval[CI]0.016-0.966),but not for event-free survival.The 1-year and 2-year overall survival rates of the conversion therapy and non-conversion therapy groups were 100.0％,96.4％and 72.1％,53.4％,respectively,and the difference in survival curves between the 2 groups was statistically significant(P=0.003).The 1-year and 2-year event-free survival rates were 77.5％,33.8％and 47.3％,31.5％,respectively.There was no significant difference in survival curves between the 2 groups(P=0.070).The differences of the overall incidences of targeted and immunotherapy-related adverse reactions in the conversion therapy group and non-conversion therapy group(66.7％[28/42]vs 72.0％[77/107],P=0.524)and the incidences of grade Ⅲ to Ⅳ adverse reactions(23.8％[10/42]vs 27.1％[29/107],P=0.681),were not statistically significant.Conclusion For patients with advanced HCC with macrovascular invasion,conversion therapy can significantly improve the prognosis without serious adverse reactions.

Objective To evaluate the application of flipped classroom(FC)approach in endocrine system integrated course for students from 4+4 clinical medicine pilot class at Peking Union Medical College(PUMC).Methods The study included the students of 4+4 clinical medicine pilot class grades 2019-2023 in PUMC.The students of grades 2019-2021(n=77)served as the control receiving traditional teaching method,while the students of grades 2022 and 2023(n=76)were selected as the experimental group,which were taught by FC approach.The selected teaching content is thyroid theme.The scoring rates of thyroid related questions in the final exam were as-sessed and a questionnaire survey was conducted to evaluate teaching satisfaction and effectiveness.Results The scoring rates of experimental group were significantly higher as compared to that of control group(P＜0.05).Over 90％of the students in the experimental group strongly satisfied or satisfied with the teaching content arrangement,design form,classroom atmosphere,teacher-student interaction of FC and expressed willingness to continue with this methodology.In addition,over 90％of the students strongly agreed or agreed that FC stimulated learning inter-est,improved self-learning ability,strengthened the connection between theory and clinical practice,inspired clini-cal reasoning,enhanced the abilities to analyze and solve problems,and cultivated communication and teamwork skills.Conclusions The application of FC approach in endocrine system integrated course achieved excellent teaching outcomes with high satisfaction of the students.

Objective To explore the regulatory role of Abelson interactor 2(ABI2)in progression and prognosis of gastric cancer.Methods TIMER2.0,GEPIA,Kaplan-Meier Plotter and DAVID databases were used to analyze ABI2 expression in pan-cancer and its association with the prognosis of gastric cancer.Gastric cancer and adjacent tissues from 120 patients undergoing radical gastrectomy in our hospital between January,2016 and October,2018 were examined for ABI2 expression and its correlation with disease progression and prognosis.MGC-803 cell models of ABI2 knockdown and overexpression were established for observing the changes in cell proliferation,migration,and invasion,and the impact of ABI2 expression modulation on xenograft growth was evaluated in nude mice.Results Database analysis and examination of the clinical samples showed that ABI2 was highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues.Survival analysis suggested that gastric cancer patients with a high expression of ABI2 had a reduced postoperative 5-year survival rate(P<0.0001),and further Cox univariate and multivariate survival analyses indicated that a high ABI2 expression was an independent risk factor affecting the patients survival outcomes(P=0.022,HR=1.887,95%CI:1.096-3.249).Enrichment analysis suggested the involvement of ABI2 in Wnt signaling.In MGC-803 cells,ABI2 overexpression promoted cell proliferation and xenograft growth in nude mice,increased the expressions of vimentin and N-cadherin,and lowered E-cadherin expression,while ABI2 knockdown produced the opposite effects.Mechanistic analysis revealed that ABI2 overexpression promoted the expressions of Wnt2 and β-catenin in both MGC-803 cells and the xenografts,and their expressions were significantly lowered by ABI2 knockdown.Conclusion ABI2 is highly expressed in gastric cancer,which affects long-term prognosis of the patients,possible due to its regulatory effect on Wnt signaling to promote proliferation,migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells.

With the development of clinical related disciplines, the update and establishment of relevant standards/guidelines at home and abroad, GBZ 185-2006 Diagnostic Criteria for Occupational Medicamentose-like Dermatitis due to Trichloroethylene (hereinafter referred to as “GBZ 185-2006”) was unable to meet clinical needs. Therefore, the GBZ 185-2006 was revised based on the principles of evidence-based medicine, in accordance with relevant laws/regulations and relevant standards/guidelines in combination with review of research data on occupational medicamentose-like dermatitis due to trichloroethylene (OMDT) home and abroad, and the development of clinical practice and clinical related disciplines. The main modifications include: adding terms and definitions of OMDT, modifying the description of clinical manifestations of the diagnostic principles, adjusting the description of latency, deleting the diagnostic requirement of the incidence probability, adding the specific allergen patch test as the etiological diagnostic index, standardizing the application scope, operating procedure and precautions of the specific allergen patch test. In addition, the relevant content of “Basic Characteristics and Clinical Types of Skin Damage of Medicamentose-like Dermatitis due to Trichloroethylene” in Appendix A is improved, the treatment principles are revised, and the content of new progress in treatment, artificial liver application, are added. The revised GBZ 185-2024 Diagnostic Standard for Occupational Medicamentose-like Dermatitis due to Trichloroethylene is more scientific and practical, and can provide technical basis for the standardized diagnosis and treatment of OMDT in medical and health institutions.

Objective:In chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with previous 96-week treatment with tenofovir amibufenamide (TMF) or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), we investigated the safety profile of sequential TMF treatment from 96 to 144 weeks.Methods:Enrolled subjects that previously assigned (2:1) to receive either 25 mg TMF or 300 mg TDF with matching placebo for 96 weeks received extending or switching TMF treatment for 48 weeks. Safety profiles of kidney, bone, metabolism, body weight, and others were evaluated.Results:666 subjects from the initial TMF group and 336 subjects from TDF group with at least one dose of assigned treatment were included at week 144. The overall safety profile was favorable in each group and generally similar between extended or switched TMF treatments from week 96 to 144. In subjects switching from TDF to TMF, the non-indexed estimated glomerular filtration rate (by non-indexed CKD-EPI formula) and creatinine clearance (by Cockcroft-Gault formula) were both increased, which were (2.31±8.33) ml/min and (4.24±13.94) ml/min, respectively. These changes were also higher than those in subjects with extending TMF treatment [(0.91±8.06) ml/min and (1.30±13.94) ml/min]. Meanwhile, switching to TMF also led to an increase of the bone mineral density (BMD) by 0.75% in hip and 1.41% in spine. On the other side, a slight change in TC/HDL ratio by 0.16 (IQR: 0.00, 0.43) and an increase in body mass index (BMI) by (0.54±0.98) kg/m 2 were oberved with patients switched to TMF, which were significantly higher than that in TMF group. Conclusion:CHB patients receiving 144 weeks of TMF treatment showed favorable safety profile. After switching to TMF, the bone and renal safety was significantly improved in TDF group, though experienceing change in metabolic parameters and weight gain (NCT03903796).
