Radiochemotherapy-induced oral mucositis (OM) is a common oral complication in patients with tumors following head and neck radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Erosion and ulcers are the main features of OM that seriously affect the quality of life of patients and even the progress of tumor treatment. To date, differences in clinical prevention and treatment plans for OM have been noted among doctors of various specialties, which has increased the uncertainty of treatment effects. On the basis of current research evidence, this expert consensus outlines risk factors, clinical manifestations, clinical grading, ancillary examinations, diagnostic basis, prevention and treatment strategies and efficacy indicators for OM. In addition to strategies such as basic oral care, anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents, anti-infective agents, pro-healing agents, and photobiotherapy recommended in previous guidelines, we also emphasize the role of traditional Chinese medicine in OM prevention and treatment. This expert consensus aims to provide references and guidance for dental physicians and oncologists in formulating strategies for OM prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, standardizing clinical practice, reducing OM occurrence, promoting healing, and improving the quality of life of patients.

Nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF), predominantly affecting the elderly, can lead to intractable pain, vertebral collapse, progressive kyphotic deformity, and neurological impairment, significantly compromising patients′ quality of life. There exists considerable debate on diagnosis and management of OVF, encompassing key issues such as clinical diagnosis and staging criteria for nonunion, surgical indications and procedure selection, and postoperative rehabilitation planning. Currently, there lacks standardized clinical guideline and expert consensus on the diagnosis and management of OVF nonunion in China. To address this gap, Minimally Invasive Surgery Group of Chinese Orthopedic Association, Osteoporosis Committee of Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Prevention and Rehabilitation Committee for Osteoporosis of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine and Minimally Invasive Orthopedic Surgery Branch of China Association for Geriatric Care jointly organized domestic experts in spinal surgery, endocrinology, and rehabilitation to formulate the Clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment for nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures ( version 2025), based on existing literature and clinical experience and adhering to principles of scientific rigor and practicality. The guideline provided 13 evidence-based recommendations encompassing diagnosis and treatment of OVF nonunion, aiming to standardize its clinical management.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objectives:To assess the efficacy of cord blood-assisted haploid peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (haplo-cord-PBSCT) versus unrelated donor peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (UD-PBSCT) in the treatment of malignant hematological diseases.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on one hundred and four patients with malignant hematological diseases who underwent haplo-cord-PBSCT and fifty-two patients who underwent UD-PBSCT at Xiangya Hospital of Central South University between January 2016 and December 2021.Results:①The median implantation time for neutrophils in the haplo-cord-PBSCT and UD-PBSCT groups was 13 (9–22) days and 13 (10–24) days, respectively ( P=0.834), whereas the median implantation time for platelets was 15 (7–103) days and 14 (8-38) days, respectively ( P=0.816). The cumulative implantation rate of neutrophils at 30 days after transplantation in the haplo-cord-PBSCT group and the UD-PBSCT group was 100% ( P=0.314), and the cumulative platelet implantation rate at 100 days after transplantation was 95.2% (95% CI 88.3% - 98.1% ) and 100% ( P=0.927), respectively. 30 days after transplantation, both groups of patients achieved complete donor chimerism, and no umbilical cord blood stem cells were implanted. ②The cumulative incidence rates of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ acute GVHD within 100 days after transplantation in the haplo-cord-PBSCT group and the UD-PBSCT group were 29.1% (95% CI 20.1% –38.1% ) and 28.8% (95% CI 17.2% –41.6% ( P=0.965), respectively. The cumulative incidence rates of grade Ⅲ/Ⅳ acute GVHD were 7.8% (95% CI 3.6% –14.0% ) and 9.6% (95% CI 3.5% –19.5% ) ( P=0.725). The cumulative incidence rates of 2-year chronic GVHD in the haplo-cord-PBSCT group and the UD-PBSCT group were 45.3% (95% CI 36.1% -56.1% ) and 35.1% (95% CI 21.6% –44.1% ), respectively ( P=0.237). The cumulative incidence rates of severe chronic GVHD at 2 years after transplantation were 13.6% (95% CI 7.6% -21.3% ) and 12.9% (95% CI 5.1% -24.3% ), respectively ( P=0.840). ③The 2-year CIR after transplantation in the haplo-cord-PBSCT group and UD-PBSCT group were 12.8% (95% CI 7.0% –20.5% ) and 10.0% (95% CI 3.6% –20.2% ), respectively ( P=0.341), and the NRM were 14.7% (95% CI 8.4% –22.6% ) and 16.2% (95% CI 7.4% –28.0% ), respectively ( P=0.681). ④The 2-year OS rates in the haplo-cord-PBSCT and UD-PBSCT groups after transplantation were 82.2% (95% CI 74.8% –90.3% ) and 75.5% (95% CI 64.2% -88.7% ), respectively ( P=0.276). The 2-year DFS rates were 69.9% (95% CI 61.2% –79.8% ) and 73.8% (95% CI 62.4% -87.3% ), respectively ( P=0.551). The 2-year rates of GVHD-free/recurrence-free survival (GRFS) were 55.3% (95% CI 44.8% -64.8% ) and 64.7% (95% CI 52.8% –79.3% ), respectively ( P=0.284) . Conclusion:The findings of this study indicate that haplo-cord-PBSCT and UD-PBSCT have comparable efficacy and safety in the treatment of malignant hematological diseases and can be used as an alternative treatment options.

In recent years,with the frequent occurrence of disasters and the rapid development of the urban rescue system,aviation medical rescue can reach the scene of an accident in a short time because of the use of aircraft,with a wide coverage. Helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft can fly over obstacles and directly reach the disaster or accident area,reducing the rescue time;at the same time,because of its Equipped with relatively complete medical equipment,medical personnel can carry out emergency medical treatment on the aircraft,which improves the survival rate of patients;and aviation medical rescue has strong mobility,which can quickly adjust the rescue route and plan according to the specific situation,quickly transmit on-site information,and improve rescue efficiency. Therefore,air medical rescue has become a crucial part of modern medical rescue. In aviation medical rescue,the two most important components are medical staff and medical equipment. Among them,the professional literacy of aviation medical rescue by medical staff often directly determines the quality of aviation medical rescue received by patients. As the largest group of medical personnel,nurses play an important role in aviation medical rescue,expand the popularization of flight nurse training,do a good job in aviation medical rescue reserve,and play an important role in the quality of aviation medical rescue. Through virtual reality (VR) technology,the actual scene of aircraft and aviation medical rescue is simulated by computer,so that nurses can practice through the simulation of equipment and computer,and realistically feel the scenario of aviation medical rescue when a disaster occurs,which also ensures nurses' practical effect. The implementation of this training can not only greatly improve the number of flight nurse training,but also improve the quality of disaster rescue and aviation medical rescue in China. Therefore,the training of virtual reality technology aviation medical rescue nurses is crucial to the training of disaster rescue and aviation medical rescue personnel and the improvement of rescue quality.

Objective To monitor the susceptibility of clinical isolates to antimicrobial agents in healthcare facilities in major regions of China in 2023.Methods Clinical isolates collected from 73 hospitals across China were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using a unified protocol based on disc diffusion method or automated testing systems.Results were interpreted using the 2023 Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) breakpoints.Results A total of 445199 clinical isolates were collected in 2023,of which 29.0％ were gram-positive and 71.0％ were gram-negative.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains in Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species (excluding Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus schleiferi) (MRSA,MRSE and MRCNS) was 29.6％,81.9％ and 78.5％,respectively.Methicillin-resistant strains showed significantly higher resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents than methicillin-susceptible strains (MSSA,MSSE and MSCNS).Overall,92.9％ of MRSA strains were susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and 91.4％ of MRSE strains were susceptible to rifampicin.No vancomycin-resistant strains were found.Enterococcus faecalis had significantly lower resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents tested than Enterococcus faecium.A few vancomycin-resistant strains were identified in both E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae was 93.1％ in the isolates from children and and 95.9％ in the isolates from adults.The resistance rate to carbapenems was lower than 15.0％ for most Enterobacterales species except for Klebsiella,22.5％ and 23.6％ of which were resistant to imipenem and meropenem,respectively .Most Enterobacterales isolates were highly susceptible to tigecycline,colistin and polymyxin B,with resistance rates ranging from 0.6％ to 10.0％.The resistance rate to imipenem and meropenem was 21.9％ and 17.4％ for Pseudomonas aeruginosa,respectively,and 67.5％ and 68.1％ for Acinetobacter baumannii,respectively.Conclusions Increasing resistance to the commonly used antimicrobial agents is still observed in clinical bacterial isolates.However,the prevalence of important crabapenem-resistant organisms such as crabapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa,and A.baumannii showed a slightly decreasing trend.This finding suggests that strengthening bacterial resistance surveillance and multidisciplinary linkage are important for preventing the occurrence and development of bacterial resistance.

Objective To investigate the independent risk factors of comprehensive complication index(CCI)≥26.2 after radical resection of colon cancer,and use these factors to establish and verify a dynamic web-based nomogram model.Methods The clinical data of colon cancer patients who underwent radical resection in the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University from November 2020 to April 2022 were retrospectively collected,and divided into main cohort(November 2020 to October 2021,n=438)and validation cohort(November 2021 to April 2022,n=196).CCI scores of all patients were obtained based on CCI calculator(http://www.assessurgery.com).Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to identify the risk factors for CCI≥26.2,and a nomogram model was constructed.Receiver operator characteristic curve(ROC),C index and calibration curve were used to evaluate the differentiation and consistency of predictive nomogram model,and the decision curve analysis was conducted to assess the clinical benefits of the model.Internal validation of the model is performed in the validation cohort.Results A total of 438 patients were identified in present study,of which 63 cases(14.4%)had CCI≥26.2.Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that age≥60 years(OR=2.662,95%CI 1.341-5.285,P=0.005),low third lumbar spine skeletal muscle mass index(L3MI;OR=4.572,95%CI 2.435-8.583,P<0.001),NRS2002≥3(OR=4.281,95%CI 2.304-7.952,P<0.001),and preoperative bowel obstruction(OR=3.785,95%CI 1.971-7.268,P<0.001)were significant independent risk factors for postoperative CCI≥26.2.Based on these results,a static and web-based dynamic nomogram was established(https://jndxfsyywcwksyf.shinyapps.io/DynNomCCI/).The C-index and area under the curve(AUC)of the nomogram were 0.742 and 0.787,respectively.The calibration curve indicated a good consistency between the predicted probability and the actual probability.In the validation cohort,the nomogram also presented good discrimination(C-index=0.722,AUC=0.795)and predictive consistency.The decision curve analysis indicated the clinical benefit and application value of the nomogram prediction model.Conclusion This easy-to-use dynamic nomogram based on 4 independent risk factors can conveniently and reliably predict the probability of CCI≥26.2 after radical resection of colon cancer,which helps optimize the preoperative evaluation system,formulate precise individualized treatment strategies,and enhance recovery after surgery.
