Objective To compare the effects of preserving and releasing the inferior pulmonary ligament (IPL) during thoracoscopic right upper lobe apical segment resection for non-small cell lung cancer patients, and to explore appropriate management methods for intraoperative IPL. Methods According to the prospective and open principle, the patients with non-small cell lung cancer who underwent thoracoscopic right upper lobe apical segment resection in the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department of Ningbo Second Hospital from January 2020 to November 2022 were selected and divided into two groups: a release group (receiving IPL release during thoracoscopic right upper lobe apical segment resection) and a retention group (receiving the same right upper lobe apical segment resection, but retaining IPL during operation). The clinical data of the two groups were compared. Results A total of 70 patients were included in this study, including 33 males and 37 females, aged 35-76 years. There were 35 patients in the release group with an average age of (57.02±9.25) years; 35 patients in the retention group with an average age of (56.81±9.94) years. The surgical time in the release group was statistically longer than that in the retention group (P=0.017). There was no statistical difference between the two groups in terms of intraoperative bleeding, duration of postoperative air leakage, time to achieve lung recruitment, drainage flow rate of the chest tube, retention time of the chest tube, incidence of postoperative complications, postoperative hospitalization days, or residual cavity rate one month after the surgery (P>0.05). Conclusion Compared to releasing IPL during thoracoscopic right upper lobe apical segment resection, preserving IPL can simplify surgical procedures, shorten surgical time and reduce trauma, and does not increase postoperative adverse effects. This further reflects the concept of minimally invasive surgery and can be applied to clinical practice.

With the increasing proportion of human papilloma virus(HPV)infection in the pathogenic factors of oro-pharyngeal cancer,a series of changes have occurred in the surgical treatment.While the treatment mode has been im-proved,there are still many problems,including the inconsistency between diagnosis and treatment modes,the lack of popularization of reconstruction technology,the imperfect post-treatment rehabilitation system,and the lack of effective preventive measures.Especially in terms of treatment mode for early oropharyngeal cancer,there is no unified conclu-sion whether it is surgery alone or radiotherapy alone,and whether robotic minimally invasive surgery has better func-tional protection than radiotherapy.For advanced oropharyngeal cancer,there is greater controversy over the treatment mode.It is still unclear whether to adopt a non-surgical treatment mode of synchronous chemoradiotherapy or induction chemotherapy combined with synchronous chemoradiotherapy,or a treatment mode of surgery combined with postopera-tive chemoradiotherapy.In order to standardize the surgical treatment of oropharyngeal cancer in China and clarify the indications for surgical treatment of oropharyngeal cancer,this expert consensus,based on the characteristics and treat-ment status of oropharyngeal cancer in China and combined with the international latest theories and practices,forms consensus opinions in multiple aspects of preoperative evaluation,surgical indication determination,primary tumor re-section,neck lymph node dissection,postoperative defect repair,postoperative complication management prognosis and follow-up of oropharyngeal cancer patients.The key points include:① Before the treatment of oropharyngeal cancer,the expression of P16 protein should be detected to clarify HPV status;② Perform enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the maxillofacial region before surgery to evaluate the invasion of oropharyngeal cancer and guide precise surgical resec-tion of oropharyngeal cancer.Evaluating mouth opening and airway status is crucial for surgical approach decisions and postoperative risk prediction;③ For oropharyngeal cancer patients who have to undergo major surgery and cannot eat for one to two months,it is recommended to undergo percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy before surgery to effectively improve their nutritional intake during treatment;④ Early-stage oropharyngeal cancer patients may opt for either sur-gery alone or radiation therapy alone.For intermediate and advanced stages,HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer general-ly prioritizes radiation therapy,with concurrent chemotherapy considered based on tumor staging.Surgical treatment is recommended as the first choice for HPV unrelated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma(including primary and re-current)and recurrent HPV related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma after radiotherapy and chemotherapy;⑤ For primary exogenous T1-2 oropharyngeal cancer,direct surgery through the oral approach or da Vinci robotic sur-gery is preferred.For T3-4 patients with advanced oropharyngeal cancer,it is recommended to use temporary mandibu-lectomy approach and lateral pharyngotomy approach for surgery as appropriate;⑥ For cT1-2N0 oropharyngeal cancer patients with tumor invasion depth>3 mm and cT3-4N0 HPV unrelated oropharyngeal cancer patients,selective neck dissection of levels ⅠB to Ⅳ is recommended.For cN+HPV unrelated oropharyngeal cancer patients,therapeutic neck dissection in regions Ⅰ-Ⅴ is advised;⑦ If PET-CT scan at 12 or more weeks after completion of radiation shows intense FDG uptake in any node,or imaging suggests continuous enlargement of lymph nodes,the patient should undergo neck dissection;⑧ For patients with suspected extracapsular invasion preoperatively,lymph node dissection should include removal of surrounding muscle and adipose connective tissue;⑨ The reconstruction of oropharyngeal cancer defects should follow the principle of reconstruction steps,with priority given to adjacent flaps,followed by distal pedicled flaps,and finally free flaps.The anterolateral thigh flap with abundant tissue can be used as the preferred flap for large-scale postoperative defects.

Objective:
To understand current status and related factors of breakfast among primary and secondary school students in Zhejiang Province, so as to provide a scientific basis for improving breakfast habits of primary and secondary school students.
Methods:
During May to November of 2023, 33 326 students from grade four to six of primary schools and grade one to two of secondary schools were selected from 90 counties and cities in Zhejiang Province by using the stratified cluster random sampling method. General information and breakfast consumption were collected by questionnaire. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the related factors of breakfast.
Results:
About 81.29% of the primary and secondary school students reported regular breakfast consumption. The rate of regular breakfast consumption was higher on the school days (92.23%) than on the weekends (85.17%), and higher in primary school students (85.83%) compared to secondary school students (74.71%), with statistically significant differences ( χ 2=827.42, 655.03, P <0.01). About 49.19% of primary and secondary school students had their breakfast within 10 minutes or less, and 83.30% of primary and secondary school students had 3-5 food groups for breakfast. The proportions of students who consumed cereals and potatoes, milk, and eggs were respectively 18.76%, 28.85%, 14.63%. About 22.84%, 28.00 %, 32.60% and 32.23% of the students had no meat, soybeans, vegetables and fruits in their breakfast. The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that girls, rural area, secondary school, place of living (dormitory, others), migrant parent (one or both outside the hometown), late bedtime (22:00-22:59, 23:00 and later) and late wake up time (9:00 and later) on the weekends were positively correlated with no having breakfast every day ( OR=1.22, 1.40, 1.46, 1.20, 1.20, 1.34, 1.36, 1.41 , 3.51, 2.32, P <0.05). The time of physical activity per day (30-<60, 60-<90, 90-120, >120 min), bedtime (21:00-21:59, 22:00-22:59) and wake up time (6:00-6:59, 7:00-7:59) on school days were negatively correlated with no having breakfast every day ( OR=0.75, 0.64, 0.67, 0.64, 0.77, 0.82, 0.75, 0.67, P <0.05).
Conclusions
There is a considerable number of primary and secondary school students with irregular breakfast consumption, which are related to multiple factors. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen nutrition education and improve the behavior of breakfast for primary and secondary school students.

Objective:To investigate the effects of early postoperative nutritional management under enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) guidelines on nutritional biochemical indicators and length of hospital stay in patients undergoing lumbar fusion surgery. Method:Ninety-four patients who underwent lumbar posterior internal fixation + intervertebral fusion surgery in Department of Orthopedics Ⅲ of Ningxia Medical University General Hospital from January 2020 to March 2021 were randomly divided into an intervention group (n=47) and a control group (n=47). The intervention group received nutritional intervention by a clinical nutritionist at 2 hours after anesthesia recovery, and the control group started to eat liquid diet at 6 hours after anesthesia recovery. The protein-calorie intake, blood glucose, total protein, albumin, hemoglobin, postoperative hospitalization time and total hospitalization time of the two groups were observed. Results:The protein-calorie intake of the intervention group was higher than that of the control group on the day of surgery and the first 3 days after surgery, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). The blood glucose level of the intervention group was lower than that of the control group on the first day after surgery, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). The total protein level of the intervention group was higher than that of the control group on the third day after surgery, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). The albumin and hemoglobin levels of the intervention group were higher than those of the control group on the first and third days after surgery, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). The incidence of abdominal distension and the length of hospital stay in the intervention group were lower than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusion:Early postoperative nutritional management has a certain effect on improving nutritional and biochemical indicators and shortening the length of hospital stay in patients undergoing lumbar fusion surgery.
