Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a common head and neck malignancy. Approximately 50% to 60% of patients with OSCC are diagnosed at a locally advanced stage (clinical staging III-IVa). Even with comprehensive and sequential treatment primarily based on surgery, the 5-year overall survival rate remains below 50%, and patients often suffer from postoperative functional impairments such as difficulties with speaking and swallowing. Programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) inhibitors are increasingly used in the neoadjuvant treatment of locally advanced OSCC and have shown encouraging efficacy. However, clinical practice still faces key challenges, including the definition of indications, optimization of combination regimens, and standards for efficacy evaluation. Based on the latest research advances worldwide and the clinical experience of the expert group, this expert consensus systematically evaluates the application of PD-1 inhibitors in the neoadjuvant treatment of locally advanced OSCC, covering combination strategies, treatment cycles and surgical timing, efficacy assessment, use of biomarkers, management of special populations and immune related adverse events, principles for immunotherapy rechallenge, and function preservation strategies. After multiple rounds of panel discussion and through anonymous voting using the Delphi method, the following consensus statements have been formulated: 1) Neoadjuvant therapy with PD-1 inhibitors can be used preoperatively in patients with locally advanced OSCC. The preferred regimen is a PD-1 inhibitor combined with platinum based chemotherapy, administered for 2-3 cycles. 2) During the efficacy evaluation of neoadjuvant therapy, radiographic assessment should follow the dual criteria of Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 and immune RECIST (iRECIST). After surgery, systematic pathological evaluation of both the primary lesion and regional lymph nodes is required. For combination chemotherapy regimens, PD-L1 expression and combined positive score need not be used as mandatory inclusion or exclusion criteria. 3) For special populations such as the elderly (≥ 70 years), individuals with stable HIV viral load, and carriers of chronic HBV/HCV, PD-1 inhibitors may be used cautiously under the guidance of a multidisciplinary team (MDT), with close monitoring for adverse events. 4) For patients with a poor response to neoadjuvant therapy, continuation of the original treatment regimen is not recommended; the subsequent treatment plan should be adjusted promptly after MDT assessment. Organ transplant recipients and patients with active autoimmune diseases are not recommended to receive neoadjuvant PD-1 inhibitor therapy due to the high risk of immune related activation. Rechallenge is generally not advised for patients who have experienced high risk immune related adverse events such as immune mediated myocarditis, neurotoxicity, or pneumonitis. 5) For patients with a good pathological response, individualized de escalation surgery and function preservation strategies can be explored. This consensus aims to promote the standardized, safe, and precise application of neoadjuvant PD-1 inhibitor strategies in the management of locally advanced OSCC patients.

Objective To investigate the antimicrobial resistance of clinical isolates from elderly patients(≥65 years)in major medical institutions across China.Methods Bacterial strains were isolated from elderly patients in 52 hospitals participating in the CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program during the period from 2015 to 2021.Antimicrobial susceptibility test was carried out by disk diffusion method and automated systems according to the same CHINET protocol.The data were interpreted in accordance with the breakpoints recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)in 2021.Results A total of 514 715 nonduplicate clinical isolates were collected from elderly patients in 52 hospitals from January 1,2015 to December 31,2021.The number of isolates accounted for 34.3％of the total number of clinical isolates from all patients.Overall,21.8％of the 514 715 strains were gram-positive bacteria,and 78.2％were gram-negative bacteria.Majority(90.9％)of the strains were isolated from inpatients.About 42.9％of the strains were isolated from respiratory specimens,and 22.9％were isolated from urine.More than half(60.7％)of the strains were isolated from male patients,and 39.3％isolated from females.About 51.1％of the strains were isolated from patients aged 65-＜75 years.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains(MRSA)was 38.8％in 32 190 strains of Staphylococcus aureus.No vancomycin-or linezolid-resistant strains were found.The resistance rate of E.faecalis to most antibiotics was significantly lower than that of Enterococcus faecium,but a few vancomycin-resistant strains(0.2％,1.5％)and linezolid-resistant strains(3.4％,0.3％)were found in E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible S.pneumoniae(PSSP),penicillin-intermediate S.pneumoniae(PISP),and penicillin-resistant S.pneumoniae(PRSP)was 94.3％,4.0％,and 1.7％in nonmeningitis S.pneumoniae isolates.The resistance rates of Klebsiella spp.(Klebsiella pneumoniae 93.2％)to imipenem and meropenem were 20.9％and 22.3％,respectively.Other Enterobacterales species were highly sensitive to carbapenem antibiotics.Only 1.7％-7.8％of other Enterobacterales strains were resistant to carbapenems.The resistance rates of Acinetobacter spp.(Acinetobacter baumannii 90.6％)to imipenem and meropenem were 68.4％and 70.6％respectively,while 28.5％and 24.3％of P.aeruginosa strains were resistant to imipenem and meropenem,respectively.Conclusions The number of clinical isolates from elderly patients is increasing year by year,especially in the 65-＜75 age group.Respiratory tract isolates were more prevalent in male elderly patients,and urinary tract isolates were more prevalent in female elderly patients.Klebsiella isolates were increasingly resistant to multiple antimicrobial agents,especially carbapenems.Antimicrobial resistance surveillance is helpful for accurate empirical antimicrobial therapy in elderly patients.

Aim To investigate the role of mesence-phalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor(MANF)in the inhibitory effect of rhynchophylline(Rhy)on the malignant biological behaviors of gastric cancer cells and its underlying regulatory mechanisms.Meth-ods SGC-7901 gastric cancer cells were transfected using adenovirus and liposome transfection techniques.The experimental groups included:Control group,Rhy group,Rhy+NC group(Rhy+adenovirus-transfected MANF-irrelevant fragment),Rhy+si-MANF group(Rhy+adenovirus-transfected MANF siRNA),Vec-tor group(empty vector),OVE-MANF group(recom-binant plasmid overexpressing MANF).After 24 hours of intervention,cell proliferation,apoptosis,migra-tion,and invasion were assessed using the MTT assay,Hoechst staining,and Transwell assays,respectively.The expressions of MANF,Cyclin D1,and cleaved caspase-3 proteins were measured using Western blot.NF-κB transcriptional activity was evaluated via a lucif-erase reporter assay.Results Compared to the control group,Rhy treatment significantly inhibited gastric cancer cell growth in a dose-dependent manner(P＜0.05),induced typical apoptotic morphological chan-ges,and increased the expression of MANF and cleaved caspase-3 proteins(P＜0.05),while reduc-ing Cyclin D1 protein expression and NF-κB transcrip-tional activity(P＜0.05).Additionally,Rhy treat-ment markedly decreased cell migration and invasion capabilities(P＜0.05).In comparison to the Rhy group,adenovirus-mediated transfection of MANF siR-NA suppressed apoptosis,promoted gastric cancer cell proliferation,migration,and invasion,inhibited MANF and cleaved caspase-3 expression(P＜0.05),and enhanced Cyclin D1 protein levels and NF-κB transcriptional activity(P＜0.05).Compared to the Vector group,OVE-MANF(overexpression of MANF)induced apoptosis,suppressed proliferation,invasion,and metastasis of gastric cancer cells,upregulated MANF and cleaved caspase-3 expression(P＜0.05),and inhibited Cyclin D1 protein levels and NF-κB tran-scriptional activity(P＜0.05).Conclusion Rhy in-hibits the proliferation,migration,and invasion of gas-tric cancer cells and induces apoptosis,with its mecha-nism linked to the promotion of MANF expression and suppression of NF-κB transcriptional activity.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of transcatheter mitral valve edge-to-edge repair using the domestic NovoClasp system in patients with primary moderate-to-severe mitral regurgitation(MR).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 19 patients with primary MR who underwent transcatheter mitral valve edge-to-edge repair using the domestic NovoClasp system at the Cardiac Center,The First Hospital of Hebei Medical University,and completed a 6-month follow-up.All patients underwent a complete preoperative examination,and the safety and efficiency of surgery were evaluated.The safety indicators included immediate success rate of mitral valve clip,clip displacement,mitral stenosis,heart block,acute heart failure,stroke,access vessel rupture,cardiac tamponade,postoperative MR ≥2+,major bleeding,and death.The efficiency indicators included N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP),soluble growth stimulation expressed gene 2(sST2),left ventricular ejection fraction,left ventricular end diastolic diameter,degree of MR,mean mitral transvalvular pressure gradient,mitral valve opening area,and left atrial anteroposterior diameter at various time points(before surgery and at 7 days,3 months,and 6 months after surgery).Results Safety indicators after surgery showed that the immediate success rate of valve implantation was 100％,including in one patient who received two mitral valve clamps and one who suffered from acute stroke(acute cerebral infarction in the right parietal lobe and left parietal-occipital lobe)after surgery.There were no cases of clamps displace-ment,mitral stenosis,heart block,acute heart failure,access vessel rupture,cardiac tamponade,postoperative MR ≥2+,major bleeding,or death.The effectiveness indicators after surgery showed that the degree of MR significantly improved 7 days after surgery compared with that before surgery(Z=5.466,P＜0.001).Clinical symptoms improved significantly after surgery,with proportion of NYHA Ⅰ-Ⅱ(9 cases,47.4％)significantly higher than that before surgery(1 case,5.3％),and 17 patients(89.5％)of NYHA Ⅰ-Ⅱ achieved good thera-peutic effect as assessed 6 months after surgery.The level of NT-proBNP decreased significantly 7 days after surgery compared with that before surgery(P=0.001);it then gradually decreased during follow-ups.sST2 significantly decreased 3 months after surgery compared with that before surgery(P=0.001),with a gradually decreasing trend thereafter.The left ventricular end-diastolic diameter showed a sig-nificant difference before and 6 months after surgery(P=0.006).The average mitral valve transvalvular pressure gradient was significantly different before and 7 days after surgery(P=0.001),and there was little change within 6 months after surgery.The mitral valve opening area showed a significant difference before and 7 days after surgery(P=0.001),with little change within 6 months after surgery.There were no significant differences in the left ventricular ejection fraction and left atrial anteroposterior diameter before and within 6 months after surgery.Conclusion The transcatheter mitral valve edge-to-edge repair using the domestic NovoClasp system is safe and effective for the treatment of primary moderate-to-severe MR.

Anticoagulants are widely used in the prevention and treatment of thromboembolism.Existing anticoagulants share the common feature of antagonizing or blocking critical steps in the coagulation cascade,which also increases the risk of bleeding.Studies have indicated that factor Ⅺ inhibitors represent a potential therapeutic option for balancing thrombosis and bleeding risks.In recent years,various factor Ⅺ inhibitors,including antisense oligonucleotides(ASOs),monoclonal antibodies,synthetic small molecules,natural peptides,and aptamers,have been extensively researched as potentially exploitable anticoagu-lants.Research findings also suggest that factor Ⅺ inhibitors can reduce bleeding risks while ensuring anticoagulant efficacy,ex-hibiting potential for thrombosis prevention and treatment in patient populations such as those with end-stage renal disease,non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke,and acute coronary syndrome.This article reviewed the mechanisms of action,drug classes,pharma-cological characteristics,and clinical research progress of factor Ⅺ inhibitors,aiming to provide insights into the development of new anticoagulants and clinical anticoagulant therapies.

Objective To predict the lymphovascular invasion(LVI)status of breast cancer patients based on digital breast tomo-synthesis(DBT)intratumoral and peritumoral radiomics nomogram.Methods A total of 192 breast cancer patients from 2 institu-tions were retrospectively selected,in which institution 1 was used for train(n=113)and test(n=49),while institution 2 was used for external validation(n=30).Radiomics features were extracted and selected based on intratumoral and peritumoral 1 mm regions from DBT images.Different machine learning algorithms were used to construct intratumoral,peritumoral,and combined intratumoral and peritumoral models,respectively.Patient clinical data were analyzed by both univariate and multivariate logistic regression analy-ses to identify independent risk factors for the clinical imaging model.The performance of the models was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.The radiomics features with the optimal diagnostic performance and the selected clinical imaging features were combined to construct a comprehensive clinical-radiomics model,and a nomogram was drawn.Results The combined intratumoral and peritumoral model was the optimal radiomics model.Maximum tumor diameter[odds ratio(OR)=1.486,P=0.014],suspicious malignant calcifications(OR=2.898,P=0.015),and axillary lymph node(ALN)metastasis(OR=3.615,P<0.001)were independent risk factors for LVI positive.Furthermore,the area under the curve(AUC)of the comprehensive clinical-radiomics model in the training set,test set and external valida-tion set was 0.889,0.916,and 0.862,respectively,which was higher than those of the combined intratumoral and peritumoral model(0.858,0.849,0.844)and the clinical imaging model(0.743,0.759,0.732).Conclusion The predictive nomogram,derived from both radiomics and clinical imaging features,is relatively accurate in identifying future LVI occurrence in breast cancer,demonstra-ting its potential as an assistive tool for clinicians to devise individualized treatment regimes.

Results:After the training, the average score of theoretical knowledge examination increased from (84.32±10.19) points to (90.34±7.87) points, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). After the training, the scores of knowledge reserve, operational skills, situational decision-making ability, professional literacy, comprehensive literacy, and overall post competency were all significantly higher than those before the training ( P<0.05). The satisfaction score of emergency response training was (4.17±0.25) points. Conclusions:High-fidelity intelligent simulator combined with scenario simulation training improved the emergency preparedness and teamwork of radiology staff in clinical emergencies. The training received high recognition and satisfaction from the participants, which is of great significance for clinical emergency response and patient safety.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of locally advanced rectal cancer patients with pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy combined with immunotherapy.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopatholo-gical data of 46 patients with locally advanced rectal cancer who were admitted to 6 medical centers, including Beijing Friendship Hospital of Capital Medical University et al, from June 2021 to November 2022 were collected. There were 29 males and 17 females, aged (61±4)years. Patients received neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy combined with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy, and under-went radical total mesorectal excision during 6-12 weeks after radiotherapy. Observation indicators: (1) comparison of clinical characteristics between pCR and non-pCR patients;(2) postoperative complications and adverse reactions of pCR and non-pCR patients. Comparison of measurement data with normal distribution between groups was conducted using the t test. Comparison of measurement data with skewed distribution between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Comparison of count data between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results:(1) Comparison of clinical characteristics between pCR and non-pCR patients. Before neoadjuvant therapy, there were 14 cases aged ≥50 years and 6 cases aged <50 years in pCR patients, versus 25 cases and 1 case in non-pCR patients, showing a significant difference between the two groups ( P<0.05). After neoadjuvant therapy, cases in clinical stage T0, T1, T2, T3, T4 were 11, 1, 5, 3, 0 for pCR patients versus 7, 4, 2, 11, 2 for non-pCR patients, cases of tumor regression grade 1, 2, 3, 4 were 11, 8, 1, 0 for pCR patients versus 7, 14, 4, 1 for non-pCR patients, cases in low-risk, medium-risk, high-risk of neoadjuvant rectal scoring and grading were 20, 0, 0 for pCR patients versus 4, 18, 4 for non-pCR patients, respectively, showing significant differences in above indicators between the two groups ( Z=-2.256, -2.104, -5.458, P<0.05). (2) Postoperative complications and adverse reactions of pCR and non-pCR patients. Postoperative complications occurred in 2 cases of pCR patients and 5 cases of non-pCR patients, postoperative adverse reactions occurred in 11 cases of pCR patients and 10 cases of non-pCR patients, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Compared with locally advanced rectal cancer patients aged ≥50 years, those aged <50 years have significant benefits from neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy combined with immunotherapy. Clinical T staging and magnetic resonance imaging-detected tumor regression grade after neoadjuvant therapy have predictive value for patients with pCR .
