		                        			This paper systematically summarizes the practical experience of the 2025 Dingri earthquake emergency medical rescue in Tibet. It analyzes the requirements for earthquake medical rescue under conditions of high-altitude hypoxia, low temperature, and low air pressure. The paper provides a detailed discussion on the strategic layout of earthquake medical rescue at the national level, local government level, and through social participation. It covers the construction of rescue organizational systems, technical systems, material support systems, and information systems. The importance of building rescue teams is emphasized. In high-altitude and cold conditions, rapid response, scientific decision-making, and multi-party collaboration are identified as key elements to enhance rescue efficiency. By optimizing rescue organizational structures, strengthening the development of new equipment, and promoting telemedicine technologies, the precision and effectiveness of medical rescue can be significantly improved, providing important references for future similar disaster rescues.

		                        			OBJECTIVE To establish drug utilization evaluation (DUE) criteria for pyrotinib to promote its appropriate application in clinical practice. METHODS Based on the label of Pyrotinib maleate tablets, with relevant guiding principles and diagnostic and treatment guidelines as the evaluation basis, DUE criteria for pyrotinib were determined through the Delphi method. Attribute hierarchical model (AHM) and entropy weight method (EWM) were used to combine and assign weights to each indicator within the DUE criteria. Additionally, the weighted technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) method was applied to perform rationality evaluation of medication in archived medical records from Hainan Provincial Tumor Hospital and Hainan Western Central Hospital regarding the use of pyrotinib from November 2019 to November 2023. RESULTS The established DUE criteria for pyrotinib included 4 primary indicators (prescription authority, indications for use, medication process, and medication outcomes) and 11 secondary indicators. The secondary indicators with higher weights were the route of administration and dosage (0.257) and indications in the label (0.241). Among the 88 archived cases included, there were 28 cases of inappropriate medication (31.82%), 43 cases of generally appropriate medication (48.86%), and 17 cases of appropriate medication (19.32%). The main issues related to inappropriate medication involved off-label use (42.05%) and inappropriate routes of administration and dosage (43.18%). CONCLUSIONS DUE criteria for pyrotinib established using the AHM-EWM-weighted TOPSIS method is highly operational and results in quantifiable evaluation outcomes. The overall rationality of the use of pyrotinib in the above hospitals remains to be improved, and there are some issues, like the off-label use,and inappropriate routes of administration and dosage being liaoyylyy@163.com unreasonable.

		                        			Objective:To observe the maximum tongue pressure and study the oropharyngeal activity during swallowing of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) after radiotherapy so as to correlate the maximum tongue pressure with swallowing function.Methods:The mean maximum tongue pressure of nineteen NPC patients with dysphagia was measured at the anterior (TA), middle (TM) and posterior (TP) positions, followed by video fluoroscopy. Oral transit time (OTT), upper esophageal sphincter(UES)opening time (UOT) and UES opening range (UOR) were correlated with the mean maximum tongue pressures.Results:The maximum pressure at the TM and TP positions was significantly negatively correlated with OTT, but there was no significant correlation with the anterior readings. The maximum pressures at all three tongue positions were, however, positively correlated with UOT and UOR.Conclusion:The maximum pressure at the TA, TM and TP positions is strongly correlated with the swallowing function of NPC patients.

		                        			Femtosecond laser small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) with different residual stromal thicknesses (RST) is set to investigate its effect on corneal biomechanical properties of rabbits in vivo. In this study, 24 healthy adult Japanese rabbits were randomly divided into group A and B. The RST of group A was set 30% of the corneal central thickness (CCT), and the RST of group B was 50% of the CCT. The thickness of the corneal cap in both groups was set one third of CCT. Corneal visualization Scheimpflug technology (Corvis ST) and Pentacam three-dimensional anterior segment analyzer were used to determine corneal biomechanical and morphological parameters before surgery, and 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after surgery. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze factors affecting corneal biomechanical parameters after SMILE. The results showed that the corneal stiffness of group A was significantly higher than that of group B at 1 week and 1 month after surgery, and most biomechanical parameters returned to preoperative levels at 3 months postoperatively. The results of correlation analysis showed that postoperative CCT and RST were the main factors affecting corneal biomechanical parameters after SMILE. There was no significant difference in corneal posterior surface height (PE) between 3 months after surgery and before surgery in both two groups. It indicates that although the ability to resist deformation of cornea decreases in SMILE with thicker corneal cap and less RST, there is no tendency to keratoconus, which may be related to the preservation of more anterior stromal layer.

		                        			The aim of this study is to construct an injectable gel with stable phototherapy and chemotherapy. Res-PTX@IR780 gel with phototherapy and chemotherapy property was prepared by introduction of photosensitizer IR780 and antioxidant resveratrol (Res) into the polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution of paclitaxel (PTX). The results showed that PTX, PTX@IR780 and Res-PTX@IR780 could form gels and the gels were injectable. ATR-FTIR results indicated not only components of the gels but also the formation of hydrogen bonding during the gelation. The results of UV showed instability of IR780 solution and stability improvement of Res-IR780 solution under infrared radiation (IR) irradiation. Photothermal tests showed that Res-PTX@IR780 displayed better photothermal conversion and photothermal stability under multiple irradiations than PTX@IR780.

		                        			Objective:To explore the application of digital acoustic analysis in assessing the risk of aspiration among persons with dysphagia using the Praat speech analysis software.Methods:The swallowing of 46 stroke survivors with dysphagia was studied using video fluoroscopy. Each patient was required to pronounce " yi/i/" 3 times before and after taking each mouthful of food, and their voice samples were collected. The subjects were divided into a non-aspiration group of 16 and an aspiration group of 30 based on their penetration-aspiration scale scores. Fundamental frequency, relative average perturbation (RAP), jitter, shimmer, amplitude perturbation quotient and harmonic-to-noise ratio were compared between the two groups before and after taking food.Results:For the non-aspiration group, there was no significant difference in the acoustic data before and after eating. For the aspiration group there were significant differences in fundamental frequency, relative average perturbation and jitter before and after taking food. The average RAP and jitter of the non-aspiration group were significantly better than the aspiration group′s averages before eating. After eating, however, significant differences were observed only in average jitter.Conclusions:Analyzing perturbation and jitter can help to identify persons at risk of aspiration.

		                        			Objective:To investigate the correlation between right-to-left shunt (RLS) and lesion pattern on diffusion-weighted imaging (WDI) in young patients with cryptogenic stroke (CS).Methods:Young patients with CS admitted to the Department of Neurology, Brain Hospital of Hunan Province from January 2017 to June 2020 were selected. According to the results of head MRI, they were divided into multiple infarction group and single infarction group. The demographic characteristics, clinical data, DWI lesion characteristics, RLS and shunt volume were compared between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the correlation between RLS and shunt volume and lesion pattern on DWI. Results:A total of 90 young patients with CS were enrolled. Among them, 61 (67.8%) were males, and their age was 39.87±3.49 years. There were 44 patients (48.9%) in the multiple infarction group and 46 (51.1%) in the single infarction group. Compared with the single infarction group, the RLS detection rate in the multiple infarction group was significantly higher ( P<0.05), the infarcts were more common in the cortex-subcortex ( P<0.05), and more infarctions were small infarcts ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that cortical-subcortical lesions (odds ratio 6.875, 95% confidence interval 1.917-24.649; P=0.003) and RLS (odds ratio 2.631, 95% confidence interval 1.006-6.879; P=0.049) were independently associated with multiple infarcts in young patients with CS, but RLS shunt volume was not. Conclusions:Young CS patients with RLS are mostly multiple infarctions. RLS is independently associated with multiple infarctions in young CS patients, while RLS shunt is not.

		                        			Objective:To observe the immediate effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on the initiation of swallowing among stroke survivors with dysphagia.Methods:Forty-two patients with delayed swallowing initiation were asked to eat 3 boluses of a thin liquid before and during NMES stimulation. The process was recorded and analyzed using a digital data acquisition and analysis system, including the initiation of the pharyngeal swallow (IPS), oral transit time (OTT), larynx closure duration (LCD), and pharynx transit time (PTT). They were also evaluated using the Rosenbek penetration-aspiration scale (PAS).Results:During NMES, significant improvement was observed in the average IPS, PAS and OTT results compared to before the intervention. There was, however, no significant difference in the average LCD or PTT. No obvious adverse reactions were observed during the stimulation.Conclusion:NMES has an immediate effect on improving IPS, PAS and OTT, and can be used as a new compensatory early treatment for stroke survivors with dysphagia.
