Cryoablation therapy with explicit anti-tumor mechanisms and histopathological manifestations has a long history.A large number of clinical practice has shown that cryoablation therapy is safe and effective,making it an ideal tumor treatment method in theory.Previously,its efficacy and clinical application were constrained by the limitations of refrigerants and refrigeration equipment.With the development of the new generation of cryoablation equipment represented by argon helium knives,significant progress has been made in refrigeration efficien-cy,ablation range,and precise temperature measurement,greatly promoting the progression of tumor cryoablation technology.This consensus systematically summarizes the mechanism of cryoablation technology,indications for oral mucosal melanoma(OMM)cryotherapy,clinical treatment process,adverse reactions and management,cryotherapy combination therapy,etc.,aiming to provide reference for carrying out the standardized cryoablation therapy of OMM.

【Objective】 To explore the feasibility of using autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of deep second-degree burns complicated with wound infection. 【Methods】 A retrospective analysis was conducted on the treatment process of a patient with deep second-degree burns and bacterial infection on the wound using autologous PRP. Clinical treatment highlights and outpatient follow-up were combined to discuss the feasibility and clinical effects of using autologous PRP in the treatment of burn wounds complicated with infection. 【Results】 The patient had a deep second-degree burn with a coagulase-negative Staphylococcus infection on the left lower limb. After one week of conventional wound dressing and antibiotic treatment, the patient's body temperature returned to normal. However, wound healing was slow and yellow secretion persisted. Subsequently, the burn wound was treated combined with topical autologous PRP. The wound pain score gradually decreased from 8 to 1. After 2 weeks, the bacterial culture of the wound secretion was negative, and the wound healed completely after 18 days. The wound scar score decreased from 5 to 2 at 1, 3 and 6 months after PRP treatment, and no obvious scar formation was observed. In the course of PRP treatment, there were no adverse reactions such as increased wound inflammation, abnormal blood routine and liver and kidney function test results. 【Conclusion】 For deep second-degree burn patients with localized wound bacterial infections who either refuse surgery or are not suitable for surgery, autologous PRP is a safer alternative that can effectively promote tissue regeneration and wound healing. The patient in this case achieved a curative effect in a short period of time.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of low dose dexmedetomidine for postoperative stability in patients with intracranial aneurysm during anesthesia induction.Method Patients with intracranial aneurysms treated with intracranial aneurysm clipping+intracranial pressure probe implantation were divided into treatment group and control group by cohort method.The patients in the control group were given intravenous midazolam injection 0.1 mg·kg-1 and cisatracurium 0.15 mg·kg-1 before the start of anesthesia induction to complete the anesthesia induction,and the endotracheal tube was inserted to observe the patient's breathing.Patients in the treatment group were given intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride injection 0.4 μg·kg-1·h-1 from 15 min before anesthesia induction to the end of surgery;and the other drugs were the same as those in the control group.The hemodynamic indexes,sedation quality and recovery score,intracranial pressure waveform parameters were compared between the two groups before anesthesia induction(T1),immediately after anesthesia induction(T2),at tracheal intubation(T3),at aneurysm clipping(T4),at the end of operation(T5)and 2 min after extubation(T6),and the safety was evaluated.Results The control group and the treatment group were enrolled in 40 patients.The heart rate(HR)at T6 in the treatment group and the control group were(82.31±9.73)and(86.91±10.36)beat·min-1,respectively;the sedation-agitation scale(SAS)were 3.22±0.75 and 3.58±0.80,respectively;the mean waveform amplitude(MWA)on the first day after operation were(3.42±0.75)and(3.76±0.69)mmHg,respectively;the MWA on the second day after operation were(2.68±0.63)and(2.98±0.57)mmHg,respectively;the relationship of amplitude and pressure(RAP)on the first day after operation were 0.46±0.11 and 0.52±0.12,respectively.The above indexes in the treatment group were significantly different from those in the control group(all P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in Ramsay sedation score(Ramsay),anesthesia recovery time and visual analogue scale(VAS)score at 6 h after operation between the treatment group and the control group(all P＞0.05).The total incidence of adverse drug reactions during the wake-up period in the treatment group and the control group was 25.00％(10 cases/40 cases)and 36.84％(14 cases/38 cases),respectively,with no statistically significant difference(P＞0.05).Conclusion The application of low-dose dexmedetomidine hydrochloride injection in the induction period of anesthesia can stabilize the intracranial pressure waveform parameters,blood pressure,heart rate,respiratory rate,etc.after intracranial aneurysm surgery.

Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the bacterial communities of biting midges and ticks collected from three sites in the Poyang Lake area,namely,Qunlu Practice Base,Peach Blossom Garden,and Huangtong Animal Husbandry,and whether vectors carry any bacterial pathogens that may cause diseases to humans,to provide scientific basis for prospective pathogen discovery and disease prevention and control. Methods Using a metataxonomics approach in concert with full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing and operational phylogenetic unit(OPU)analysis,we characterized the species-level microbial community structure of two important vector species,biting midges and ticks,including 33 arthropod samples comprising 3,885 individuals,collected around Poyang Lake. Results A total of 662 OPUs were classified in biting midges,including 195 known species and 373 potentially new species,and 618 OPUs were classified in ticks,including 217 known species and 326 potentially new species.Surprisingly,OPUs with potentially pathogenicity were detected in both arthropod vectors,with 66 known species of biting midges reported to carry potential pathogens,including Asaia lannensis and Rickettsia bellii,compared to 50 in ticks,such as Acinetobacter lwoffii and Staphylococcus sciuri.We found that Proteobacteria was the most dominant group in both midges and ticks.Furthermore,the outcomes demonstrated that the microbiota of midges and ticks tend to be governed by a few highly abundant bacteria.Pantoea sp7 was predominant in biting midges,while Coxiella sp1 was enriched in ticks.Meanwhile,Coxiella spp.,which may be essential for the survival of Haemaphysalis longicornis Neumann,were detected in all tick samples.The identification of dominant species and pathogens of biting midges and ticks in this study serves to broaden our knowledge associated to microbes of arthropod vectors. Conclusion Biting midges and ticks carry large numbers of known and potentially novel bacteria,and carry a wide range of potentially pathogenic bacteria,which may pose a risk of infection to humans and animals.The microbial communities of midges and ticks tend to be dominated by a few highly abundant bacteria.

Pharmaceutical cocrystals is an advanced technology to improve the physicochemical and biological properties of drugs. However, there are few studies on the in vivo metabolism of pharmaceutical cocrystals. In this study, the pharmacokinetics of wogonin cocrystal in normal rats was further studied on the basis of the previous preparation of wogonin-aloperine cocrystal. Firstly, an ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method was established for simultaneous determination of wogonin and its metabolite wogonoside in rat plasma, and to investigate the methodology. The method was applied to the pharmacokinetic study of wogonin-aloperine cocrystal (Wog-Alop) in rats. The results showed that wogonin and its metabolite wogonoside had a good linear relationship in the range of 1-800 ng·mL^-1, and the precision, accuracy, matrix effect and stability in this range met the requirements of biological analysis. Compared with direct administration of wogonin, the C_max of wogonin and its metabolite in rats increased to 7.44-fold and 9.15-fold, AUC_0-t increased to 1.67-fold and 3.72-fold, and oral bioavailability of wogonin increased to 187.66% after cocrystal administration. Wog-Alop cocrystal can significantly improve the C_max, AUC, and oral bioavailability of wogonin and its metabolite, which provides a new perspective for the clinical application of wogonin. This study was approved by the Experimental Animal Ethics Review Committee of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine (approval number: BUCM-2023032307-1148).
