Protrusive facial deformities, characterized by the forward displacement of the teeth and/or jaws beyond the normal range, affect a considerable portion of the population. The manifestations and morphological mechanisms of protrusive facial deformities are complex and diverse, requiring orthodontists to possess a high level of theoretical knowledge and practical experience in the relevant orthodontic field. To further optimize the correction of protrusive facial deformities, this consensus proposes that the morphological mechanisms and diagnosis of protrusive facial deformities should be analyzed and judged from multiple dimensions and factors to accurately formulate treatment plans. It emphasizes the use of orthodontic strategies, including jaw growth modification, tooth extraction or non-extraction for anterior teeth retraction, and maxillofacial vertical control. These strategies aim to reduce anterior teeth and lip protrusion, increase chin prominence, harmonize nasolabial and chin-lip relationships, and improve the facial profile of patients with protrusive facial deformities. For severe skeletal protrusive facial deformities, orthodontic-orthognathic combined treatment may be suggested. This consensus summarizes the theoretical knowledge and clinical experience of numerous renowned oral experts nationwide, offering reference strategies for the correction of protrusive facial deformities.

Objective:To analyze the cytological, histological, immunohistochemical, and molecular pathological features of hyalinizing trabecular tumor (HTT).Methods:Clinical and pathological data of the HTT cases diagnosed at Shanghai Sixth People′s Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine between 2020 and 2024 were collected and analyzed. HE staining, special staining, immunohistochemical staining, and next-generation sequencing were performed on all cases.Results:Among the 10 HTT patients, 4 were male and 6 were female. The age at onset ranged from 29 to 85 years, with a median age of 49 (35,61) years. The maximum tumor diameter ranged from 0.3 to 5.3 cm. Cytologically, the smears were hypercellular and showed tumor cells arranged in nested clusters with visible basement membrane-like material. The nuclei were oval with finely granular chromatin, and nuclear pseudoinclusions were readily identifiable. Histologically, the tumors were well demarcated. The tumor cells were arranged in a paraganglioma-like pattern, exhibiting typical nuclear features of papillary thyroid carcinoma and psammoma bodies. Yellow bodies were observed in the cytoplasm. The stroma was rich in hyalinized material, which was periodic acid-Schiff stain (PAS)-positive. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells showed diffuse expression of TTF-1 and focal expression of thyroglobulin. Aberrant immunoreaction with Ki-67 was present in the cytoplasm and membrane of the tumor cells. Molecular testing was performed on 8 cases. The PAX8-GLIS3 gene fusion was detected in 7 cases. Among these fusion-positive cases, 4 exhibited additional genetic abnormalities: one concurrent TSHR point mutation (p.D617H); one concurrent HRAS point mutation (p.Q61R); one concurrent LRP1B point mutation (p.S1752L), SUGCT point mutation (p.K137), and TERT point mutation (p.P785L); one concurrent MTOR mutation (7528+27A>T) and FLT3 mutation (p.E77K). The key initiating factors for thyroid carcinoma, including the BRAF V600E mutation and RET rearrangements, were absent in all cases tested.Conclusions:Cellular pleomorphism, yellow bodies and basement membrane-like material constitute important cytological and histological features for the differential diagnosis of HTT. Immunophenotypically, thyroglobulin may show focal expression, while Ki-67 is typically localized in the tumor cell membrane and cytoplasm. This study also demonstrates that PAX8-GLIS3 fusion is a characteristic molecular abnormality in HTT, although cases with wild type of GLIS gene may also present. Although rare, HTT may harbor point mutations in HRAS and TSHR, and other uncommon genetic alterations.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of the combination of umbilical moxibustion and estradiol valerat in patients with thin endometrium.Methods A random number table was used to randomly divide 60 patients with thin endometrium of kidney deficiency and blood stasis type who met the inclusion criteria into an observation group of 30 cases and a control group of 30 cases.The control group took oral estradiol valerate tablets(DELPHARMLille S.A.S.,specification:1 mg/tablet),2 mg/day(bid),continuously for 21 days starting from the 5th day of the menstrual cycle;On the basis of the control group,the observation group was treated with herbal moxibustion on the navel,starting from the 7th day of the menstrual cycle,once a week,with an interval of 5-7 days.No treatment was given during the menstrual cycle,and both groups were treated continuously for three menstrual cycles.Observe the changes in endometrial thickness,Gonen classification of endometrium,uterine artery pulsatility index,resistance index,and traditional Chinese medicine clinical symptom score before and after treatment in two groups of patients.Results After treatment,the endometrial thickness of the two groups of patients increased(P<0.01),while the uterine artery pulsatility index and resistance index decreased compared to before(P<0.01).The total score of traditional Chinese medicine clinical symptoms decreased compared to before treatment(P<0.01).The above indicators were better in the observation group than in the control group(P<0.05).But the endometrial classification between the two groups of patients was no significant difference(P>0.05).Conclusion The combination of umbilical moxibustion and estradiol valerate can effectively promote uterine artery blood flow perfusion in patients with kidney deficiency and blood stasis type thin endometrium,reduce uterine artery pulsatility index and resistance index,increase the thickness of endometrium,and improve the clinical symptom score of traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective:To summarize and analyze the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of patients with recurrent pericarditis.Methods:This observational study consecutively recruited patients with recurrent pericarditis who were hospitalized at Peking University People′s Hospital between January 2017 and February 2024. Clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes were collected and summarized during follow-up.Results:A total of 8 recurrent pericarditis patients including 3 males were included, with an age of 34.0 (22.0, 39.5) years. In terms of clinical features, all patients presented with acute-onset severe chest pain, accompanied by fever in 7 and an audible pericardial friction rub in 2 patients. Electrocardiogram showed no diffuse ST-segment elevation or PR-segment depression in any patient. Echocardiography revealed pericardial effusion in all cases, with extensive fibrinous exudate and transient pericardial thickening observed in 6 patients. CT identified concurrent pleural and/or peritoneal effusions in 6 patients. All patients exhibited marked elevations in C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and D-dimer levels. Whole-exome sequencing identified MEFV gene mutations associated with familial Mediterranean fever in 3 cases. Two patients developed cardiac tamponade requiring pericardiocentesis, which revealed hemorrhagic effusion. In the aspect of treatment outcomes, the time from recurrence to first confirmed diagnosis of recurrent pericarditis of this cohort was 14.5 (13.3, 19.5) d. Upon diagnosis, all patients promptly received standard anti-inflammatory therapy with ibuprofen and colchicine, achieving rapid relief. However, during a follow-up of 12.0 (6.0, 25.3) months, 3 patients experienced recurrence, and 2 developed transient constrictive pericarditis.Conclusion:Patients with recurrent pericarditis typically exhibit characteristic clinical presentations, laboratory abnormalities, imaging findings and potential genetic associations. Although standard anti-inflammatory therapy demonstrates favorable short-term efficacy, long-term management remains challenging due to the risks of recurrence and progression to constrictive pericarditis.

To summarize Professor GAO Shuzhong's clinical experience in treating idiopathic tinnitus with a combination of acupuncture and Chinese meteria medica. It is believed that idiopathic tinnitus is mostly caused by weak lungs and spleen， kidney essence deficiency， liver constraint transforming into fire， and binding constraint of heart qi. Treatment advocates the combination of acupuncture and Chinese meteria medica in clinical practice. Acupuncture treatment mainly focus on the method of opening the orifices by syndrome identification in combination with Ermen （TE 21）， Tinggong （SI 19）， Tinghui （GB 2）， Shenmai （BL 62） to regulate qi and blood， and supporting with Baihui （GV 20）， Yintang （EX-HN 3）， Taichong （LR 3）， and Yanglingquan （GB 34） to soothe the liver， resolve constraint， and calm the mind. Oral administration of Chinese medicinal prescription usually includes modified Yiqi Congming Decoction （益气聪明汤） and Tongqi Powder （通气散）， and the external administration of Chinese medicinal prescription can apply self-prescribed Wenqing Powder （温清散） to navel moxibustion.

Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic progressive inflammatory bowel disease. With the introduction of the "treat-to-target (T2T) " concept, the treatment goals for CD have become clearer and more specific. Traditional surgical treatment for CD typically follows a "complication-driven" approach, in which surgery is usually performed only after severe complications, such as bowel obstruction, fistulas, perforation, or cancer have occurred. The emergence of the treat-to-target strategy and the concept of disease clearance has transformed the surgical treatment of CD from a "passive rescue" model to an "active intervention" approach. Treatment goals have shifted from merely addressing complications and improving symptoms to achieving both short and long-term therapeutic objectives within the framework of treat-to-target. Achieving these goals helps to prevent CD-related complications, delay disease progression, reduce the risk of recurrence and malignancy, and improve the quality of life.

Patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) are prone to nutritional risk, making timely screening and nutritional intervention crucial. Currently, there is no nutritional risk screening tool specifically tailored for HNC patients in clinical practice. Commonly used tools include the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) , the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) , and so on. Each tool has its strengths and limitations. This review summarizes the current application of nutritional risk screening tools in HNC patients, aiming to provide a reference for the identification and prevention of nutritional risk in clinical settings.
