OBJECTIVE To explore the effect and mechanism of Zexie tang (ZXT) on reducing lipid accumulation through network pharmacology, and compare the difference of traditional decoction versus formula granules. METHODS The active components and targets of ZXT were identified using TCMSP and SwissTargetPrediction databases. GeneCards, OMIM, DisGeNET and TTD databases were used to analyze the related targets of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD); protein-protein interaction network model was constructed by String database;“ ZXT-NAFLD target-pathway” network diagram was constructed by using CytoScape software; target enrichment analysis was performed by using Metascape platform. Fat accumulation model of human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells was established to observe the effects of traditional decoction and formula granules of ZXT on lipid accumulation of cells. RESULTS Alisol B, alisol C, 1-monolinolein and alisol B monoacetate were the key active components of ZXT in the treatment of NAFLD. The core targets included MDM2, MAPK1, PIK3CB, PRKCQ and MAPK14, etc. The core signaling pathways included endocrine resistance, insulin resistance and Th17 cell differentiation. Compared with model group, except for the Zexie formula granules group and Baizhu formula granules group, the absorbance values in all other administration groups were significantly decreased (P<0.01); the absorbance value of Baizhu traditional decoction group was significantly higher than that of ZXT traditional decoction group (P<0.01); the absorbance values of Zexie formula granule group and Baizhu formula granule group were significantly higher than that of ZXT formula granule group (P<0.01); the absorbance value of Zexie formula granule group was significantly higher than that of Zexie traditional decoction group (P<0.01); the absorbance value of Baizhu formula granule group was significantly higher than that of Baizhu traditional decoction group (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS ZXT reduces lipid accumulation of human hepatocellular carcinoma cells through multiple components, multiple target and multiple pathways, and its traditional decoction and formula granules exhibit slightly different lipid-lowering effects.

This consensus was developed by the Orthodontic Society of the Chinese Stomatological Association to provide a systematic, scientific, and practical guideline for informed consent in orthodontic care. Orthodontic treatment is typically lengthy, highly individualized, and involves multiple factors such as growth and development, occlusal function, and facial esthetics. Rapid technological advances and diverse risk profiles make the traditional reliance on orthodontist experience or institutional templates insufficient to ensure patients′ full understanding and autonomous decision-making. To address this, the expert panel conducted extensive reviews of domestic and international guidelines, analyzed representative dispute cases, and performed multicenter patient-clinician surveys. Using a multi-round Delphi method, the group established a standardized informed consent framework covering the initial consultation, treatment, and retention phases. The consensus emphasizes that informed consent is not only a fundamental legal and ethical requirement but also a key step in building trust, improving patient compliance, and enhancing treatment satisfaction. Orthodontists should clearly and comprehensively explain treatment plans, potential risks, uncertainties, and associated costs, while respecting the autonomy of patients or guardians, and maintain continuous communication and dynamic evaluation throughout the treatment process. The release of this consensus provides unified and authoritative guidance for clinical orthodontics, helping to standardize informed consent, enhance its transparency, safeguard patient rights, reduce medical risks, and promote high-quality, sustainable development of orthodontic practice.

Objective:To investigate the endoscopic and pathological characteristics of metachronous early gastric cancer (EGC) after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for EGC.Methods:Data of 451 consecutive EGC patients treated with ESD at the Department of Gastroenterology, Peking University Third Hospital between 1 January, 2005 and 31 December, 2022 were retrospectively collected, of which 252 patients who met the criteria and had endoscopic follow-up ≥ 1 year were enrolled in the retrospective dynamic cohort. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to identify independent risk factors for metachronous EGC after ESD. Pearson's contingency coefficient was applied to analyze endoscopic correlation between the index and metachronous lesions. T-test, χ2 test, and Fisher exact test were used to compare endoscopic pathological features between index and metachronous lesions, the proportion of lesions meeting absolute ESD indication and their maximum diameters between patients undergoing annual vs bi-annual follow-up. Kaplan-Meier analysis assessed the cumulative incidence of metachronous EGC. Results:During a median follow-up of 40 months, 26 patients [10.3% (26/252)] developed metachronous EGC, with a mean interval of 43.9 months. Multivariate Cox regression identified the independent risk factors of index lesions including location in the middle third of the stomach ( HR=3.783, 95% CI: 1.300-11.011, P=0.015), in the anterior wall ( HR=3.934, 95% CI: 1.113-13.904, P=0.033), and the maximum diameter <15 mm ( HR=3.034, 95% CI: 1.074-8.571, P=0.036). Pearson's contingency coefficient showed no significant concordance between index and metachronous lesions for vertical location (C=0.375, P=0.372), horizontal location (C=0.508, P=0.434), gross morphology (C=0.287, P=0.675), or ulcer presence (C=0.194, P=0.313). Compared to index lesions, metachronous lesions were more frequently located on the posterior wall (lesser curvature/greater curvature/anterior wall/posterior wall: 11/2/1/12 VS 96/49/46/61, P=0.031), more often differentiated (differentiated/undifferentiated: 26/0 VS 214/38, P=0.032), and smaller in maximum diameter (8.08±5.99 mm VS 13.95±10.26 mm, t=4.383, P<0.001). No significant differences were observed between patients undergoing annual vs bi-annual follow-up in the proportion of metachronous lesions meeting absolute ESD indication (14/16 VS 9/9, P=0.520) or in maximum diameter (8.11±6.94 mm VS 6.67±4.35 mm, t=-0.275, P=0.535). The cumulative incidence curve of metachronous EGC plateaued after 10 years. Conclusion:Patients with EGC located in the middle third of the stomach, in the anterior wall, or of smaller diameter need intensive endoscopic surveillance after ESD. Posterior wall deserves particular attention during follow-up, with annual endoscopy recommended for at least 10 years post-ESD.
