Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma(OPSCC)is a malignant tumor originating from the squamous epithelium of the oro-pharyngeal mucosa,accounting for more than 90％of oropharyngeal malignancies.In recent years,human papillomavirus(HPV)infec-tion has become one of the primary etiological factors of oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma.The incidence of HPV-associated oropharyn-geal squamous carcinoma has been rising annually,with a noticeable trend toward younger populations,posing a significant threat to hu-man health.Due to the distinct biological behavior and clinical characteristics of HPV-associated oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma com-pared to its non-HPV-related counterpart,the diagnostic and treatment strategies for oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma have undergone substantial changes.Prevention and screening for oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma are of critical importance.The diagnostic and treat-ment process involves multi-disciplinary collaboration,including oral and maxillofacial surgery,otolaryngology,head and neck surgery,oncology,radiology and pathology.Based on evidence from clinical practice,a comprehensive,integrated diagnostic and therapeutic ap-proach has been established,centered around the concept of"prevention,screening,diagnosis,treatment,and rehabilitation",covering the entire patient lifecycle and providing a valuable reference for clinical practice.

Peritoneal fibrosis(PF)is an important reason that restricts long-term treatment of peritoneal dialysis(PD).Based on the theory of collateral disease,PF is considered to be an abdominal collateral disease,with dampness as the main pathogenic factor,and collateral qi deficiency and stagnation,toxicity and blood stasis as the core pathogenesis.The peritoneum is chronically exposed to an inflammatory microenvironment induced by non-biocompatible peritoneal dialysis fluid,reflecting the pathogenic mechanism of dampness-induced pathology.The resultant pathological processes,including damage of peritoneal mesothelial cells,accumulation of inflammatory mediators and metabolic products,and angiogenesis—elucidate the scientific connotation of dampness impairing collaterals and inducing deficiency,toxicity,and stasis.On this basis,the treatment principles of invigorating qi,detoxifying,resolving stasis and unblocking collaterals were proposed,and the Qixue Huazheng prescription was formed with Astragalus as the main ingredient and Centella asiatica and Ligusticum wallichii as the compatibility,which provides a reference for the prevention and treatment of PD-relat-ed PF by traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D3[25 (OH) D3], insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and bone mineral density (BMD) in the occurrence of osteoporosis (OP) in postmenopausal women.Methods:A total of 87 postmenopausal women admitted to Shanxi Children’s Hospital from Jan. 2020 to Dec. 2023 were chosen and separated into OP group ( n=40) and non-OP group ( n=47) . The differences of clinical features, serum 25 (OH) D3, IGF-1 and BMD were compared, and the correlation analysis between serum 25 (OH) D3, IGF-1 and BMD (including L 1-4 BMD, femoral neck BMD and total hip BMD) was analyzed. Multivariate Logistic regression model and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used to analyze the influencing factors of OP occurrence in postmenopausal women and the predictive value of serum 25 (OH) D3 and IGF-1 combined with BMD for OP occurrence. Results:Compared with non-OP group, there were no significant differences in age, body mass index (BMI) , menopause time, serum calcium, serum phosphorus, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) , or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels in OP group ( t=1.42, 1.03, 1.71, 0.93, 0.76, 0.43, 0.04; P=0.161, 0.306, 0.092, 0.354, 0.452, 0.670, 0.966) , but the proportion of diabetes mellitus significantly increased ( χ2=4.37, P=0.037) . Compared with non-OP group, the levels of serum 25 (OH) D3 and IGF-1 and the values of L1-4 BMD, femoral neck BMD and total hip BMD in OP group significantly decreased ( t=5.37, 4.83, 8.31, 2.01, 3.11; P<0.001, P<0.001, P<0.001, P=0.048, P=0.003) . Correlation analysis showed that serum 25 (OH) D3 and IGF-1 were significantly positively correlated with L 1-4 BMD, femoral neck BMD and total hip BMD ( r=0.37, 0.42, 0.29, 0.33, 0.28, 0.29; P<0.001, P<0.001, P=0.024, P=0.015, P=0.032, P=0.021) . Multivariate Logistic analysis showed that serum 25 (OH) D3, IGF-1 and L 1-4 BMD were independent influencing factors for OP occurrence in postmenopausal women ( P=0.007, 0.019, 0.001) ROC curve showed that the area under the curve (AUC) values of serum 25 (OH) D3, IGF-1, L 1-4 BMD and their combination in the prediction of the occurrence of OP in postmenopausal women were 0.764, 0.752, 0.957 and 0.985, respectively. Conclusion:Serum 25 (OH) D3, IGF-1 and L 1-4 BMD can be used as predictors of OP occurrence in postmenopausal women, and the combined value of the three is higher.

Objective:To explore the mechanism by which atractylodin regulates the ROS (reactive oxygen species) /AKT signaling pathway to induce apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in endometrial cancer cells, and to provide theoretical support for its potential application in the treatment of endometrial cancer.Methods:Endometrial cancer cell lines (Ishikawa and HEC-1A) were selected as experimental models. Cells were treated with different concentrations (1, 5, 10, 20 μM) of atractylodin. Cell proliferation was assessed by CCK-8 assay, apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry (FCM), and protein expression levels of AKT, p-AKT, Bcl-2, Caspase-3, and other AKT signaling pathway-related proteins were detected by Western blot. ROS levels were measured by flow cytometry.Results:Atractylodin treatment significantly inhibited the proliferation of endometrial cancer cells. Flow cytometry analysis revealed a marked increase in the apoptotic cell population. Western blot results showed that atractylodin treatment significantly decreased p-AKT expression, reduced Bcl-2 protein levels, and increased Caspase-3 expression. ROS level analysis showed that atractylodin treatment significantly elevated intracellular ROS generation, suggesting that atractylodin might induce AKT pathway inhibition through ROS, leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.Conclusions:Atractylodin regulates the ROS/AKT signaling pathway to induce apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in endometrial cancer cells, exhibiting potential anti-endometrial cancer effects. This study provides new theoretical evidence for the application of atractylodin in the treatment of endometrial cancer and reveals its underlying mechanisms.
