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 investigate the effects of two types of temperature rinses on body temperature, inflammatory cytokine levels, and bleeding volume in percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy. METHODS: Eighty patients underwent percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy from January 2018 to December 2020 were selected and divided into experimental group (40 cases) and control group(40 cases). In experimental group, there were 19 males and 21 females, aged (38.8±9.8) years old;7patients on L_4,5 and 33 patients on L₅S₁;Body msss index(BMI) was (27.8±7.2) kg·m^-2. In contral group, there were 18 males and 22 females, aged (41.5±10.9) years old, 5 patients on L_4,5 and 35 patients on L₅S₁;BMI was (26.4±6.2) kg·m^-2. The patients in the control group were received normal saline rinse at room temperature, and the patients in the experimental group were received normal saline rinse heated to 37 ℃. Body temperature, chills, nausea, vomiting, and other adverse reactions were recorded. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in two groups were recorded before and 2 hours after operation. Visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the degree of lumbar pain in two groups before and 2 hours after surgery. Fibrinolytic-coagulation indexes with preoperative and 2 hours after surgery, including the D-dimer (DD), fibrinogen degradation products (FDP), activated partial thrombin time (APTT) and prothrombin time (PT) were recorder. Operation time and blood loss in two groups were recorded. RESULTS: The body temperature of both groups showed a downward trend, while the body temperature of the control group was lower than that of the experimental group. The levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10 in two groups were increased 2 hours after surgery compared with those before surgery(P<0.05), while the levels in experimental group were lower than those in control group(P<0.05). Postoperative VAS in experimental group 2.19±1.13 was significantly lower than that in the control group 3.38±1.35(P<0.05). The levels of DD and FDP at 2 hours after surgery in both groups were higher than those before surgery (P<0.05), while the levels of DD and FDP in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in APTT and PT levels between two groups after operation (P>0.05). The blood loss in the experimental group of (45.2±14.1) ml was lower than that in the control group of (59.52±15.6) ml. The operation time of experimental group (46.7±13.8) min was less than that of control group (58.3±15.2) min(P<0.05). CONCLUSION Body temperature rinse can reduce the incidence of adverse reactions, alleviate local inflammatory reactions, reduce intraoperative blood loss and shorten the operation time.

Objective: To explore the prognostic factors of extracellular NK/T cell lymphoma (ENKTL) treated with pegaspargase/L-asparaginase. Methods: The clinical data of 656 ENKTL patients diagnosed at 11 medical centers in the Huaihai Lymphoma Working Group from March 2014 to April 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: a training set (460 cases) and a validation set (196 cases) at 7∶3, and the prognostic factors of the patients were analyzed. A prognostic scoring system was established, and the predictive performance of different models was compared. Results: Patients' median age was 46 (34, 57) years, with 456 males (69.5% ) and 561 nasal involvement (85.5% ). 203 patients (30.9% ) received a chemotherapy regimen based on L-asparaginase combined with anthracyclines, and the 5-year overall survival rate of patients treated with P-GEMOX regimen (pegaspargase+gemcitabine+oxaliplatin) was better than those treated with SMILE regimen (methotrexate+dexamethasone+cyclophosphamide+L-asparaginase+etoposide) (85.9% vs 63.8% ; P=0.004). The results of multivariate analysis showed that gender, CA stage, the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) score, HGB, and EB virus DNA were independent influencing factors for the prognosis of ENKTL patients (P<0.05). In this study, the predictive performance of the prognostic factors is superior to the international prognostic index, Korean prognostic index, and prognostic index of natural killer lymphoma. Conclusion: Gender, CA stage, ECOG PS score, HGB, and EB virus DNA are prognostic factors for ENKTL patients treated with pegaspargase/L-asparaginase.

IgG 4 related disease (IgG 4-RD) is an immune medicated rare disease, characterized with chronic inflammation and fibrosis in the involved organs, it is a systemic disease affected nearly every anatomic site of the body, usually involvement of multiple organs, and with diverse clinical manifestations. Due to the the relative novelty of the disease and under-recognition, the overall level of diagnosis and treatment in China is uneven. Till now, there is no relevant expert consensus or guidance of IgG 4-RD in China. In order to further improve the understanding and standardize the management of IgG 4-RD, on the basis of summarizing domestic and international experience, the China Alliance For Rare Diseases, together with the Chinese Rheumatology Association, organized an expert group and established the Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of IgG 4 related diseases.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the bidirectional regulation of acupuncture based on a subgroup analysis of multicenter randomized controlled trial of acupuncture with METHODS: A total of 519 patients were included in the analysis, including 137 patients with constipation type irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C) (92 cases in the acupuncture group and 45 cases in the polyethylene glycol [PEG] group), and 382 patients with diarrhea type irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) (252 cases in the acupuncture group and 130 cases in the pinaverium group). The patients in the acupuncture group were given acupuncture at Baihui (GV 20), Yintang (GV 29), Tianshu (ST 25), Shangjuxu (ST 37), Zusanli (ST 36), Sanyinjiao (SP 6) and Taichong (LR 3) once every other day, 3 times a week. The patients in the PEG group received polyethylene glycol 4000 powder orally, and the pinaverium group received pinaverium bromide tablets orally. All were treated for 6 weeks. The IBS symptom severity score (IBS-SSS) was assessed at baseline, treatment period (2, 4, 6 weeks of treatment) and 12 weeks of follow-up, and the IBS quality of life (IBS-QOL) score was evaluated at the baseline period, 6 weeks of treatment and 12 weeks of follow-up. RESULTS: The total IBS-SSS scores of the two groups of IBS-C patients at 2, 4, 6 weeks of treatment and follow-up of 12 weeks were lower than those in the baseline period ( CONCLUSION Acupuncture with

Objective:To investigate the correlations of SOX17 gene polymorphisms at the rs1072737, rs9298506 and rs10958409 loci with sporadic intracranial aneurysm (IA) in patients from Anhui province. Methods:A case-control study was performed on 162 patients with sporadic ruptured IA admitted to our hospital from January 2017 to December 2020 and 182 age-matched controls from Inpatient or physical examination center at the same time-period. The genotype and allele frequencies of SOX17 gene at the rs1072737, rs9298506 and rs10958409 loci between the 2 groups were analyzed and compared to determine the influence of different genotypes and alleles in IA. According to gender, the subjects were divided into male and female subgroups; according to rupture of IA, the subjects were divided into ruptured and un-ruptured subgroups; the risk factors and protective factors for IA in these subgroups were verified. Results:There was no significant difference in genotype distributions at rs10958409 locus between the two groups ( P>0.05). The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that GG+GT genotype ( OR=0.913, 95%CI: 0.845-0.990, P=0.031) and allele G ( OR=0.805, 95%CI: 0.718-0.932, P=0.029) at rs1072737 locus were independent protective factors for IA, and GG+AG genotype ( OR=1.043, 95%CI: 1.008-1.084, P=0.011) and allele G ( OR=1.003, 95%CI: 1.001-1.007, P=0.023) at rs9298506 locus were independent risk factors for IA. GG+GT genotype and G allele at rs1072737 locus were still risk factors for IA in both males and females ( P<0.05), while GG+AG genotype and G allele at rs9298506 locus were still protective factors for IA in both males and females ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in in genotype distributions at rs1072737 and rs9298506 loci between ruptured subgroup and un-ruptured subgroup ( P>0.05). Conclusions:In Anhui province, GG+GT genotype (allele G) carriers in SOX17 gene at rs1072737 locus have a relatively low risk of IA, while GG+AG genotype (allele G) carriers in SOX17 gene at rs9298506 locus have a relatively high risk of IA. There is no correlation of SOX17 gene polymorphisms at rs1072737 and RS9298506 loci with rupture of IA.

OBJECTIVE：To prov ide reference for the improvement of quality standards of Shiwei yipi granules. METHODS ： According to the general rules of 2015 edition of Chinese Pharmacopeia （part Ⅳ），microscopic identification was used to identify Massa Medicata Fermentata and Galli Gigerii Endothelium Corneum ；TLC method was used to qualitatively identify Crataegi Fructus and Semen Raphani ；the content of sinapine thiocyanate in Semen Raphani was determined by HPLC. RESULTS ：The microscopic characteristics were obvious for Massa Medicata Fermentata （palisade cells of testa and stone cells of testa ）and Galli Gigerii Endothelium Corneum （irregular fragments ）. The same fluorescent spots of Crataegi Fructus and Semen Raphani were displayed at the same position of ursolic acid ，sinapine thiocyanate control and Semen Raphani reference substance. The linear range of sinapine thiocyanate was 23.27-9 574.42 ng （r＝1.000 0）. The LOD and LOQ were of 0.50 μ g/mL and 1.68 μ g/mL， respectively. RSDs of precision ，repeatability，intermediate precision and stability tests （24 h）were all less than 1.5％. The average recoveries were 99.40％-100.89％（RSDs were 0.18％-0.49％，n＝3）. The contents of sinapine thiocyanate in 3 batches of Shiwei yipi granules were 0.086 4-0.220 6 mg/g，the average was 0.168 4 mg/g. CONCLUSIONS ：The identification method of Massa Medicata Fermentata ，Galli Gigerii Endothelium Corneum ，Crataegi Fructus and Semen Raphani in Shiwei yipi granules as well as the method for content determination of sinapine thiocyanate in Semen Raphani are established successfully.

Objective:To investigate the effectiveness and safety of transcatheter closure of atrial septum defect(ASD) in adults using echocardiography as the only imaging tool.Methods:From April 2017 to August 2019, 118 patients with congenital atrial septum defect were treated by cardiac surgery in Zhongshan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University. There were 31 males and 87 females, aged 15-72 years old[mean(40.3±15.3) years old]. 117 cases of atrial septum defect were secondary foramen and 1 case was residual shunt after repair of atrial septum defect by transthoracic echocardiography. The patients with tricuspid insufficiency and pulmonary hypertension were followed up by transesophageal echocardiography.Results:The transcatheter closure of atrial septum defect(ASD) was successfully performed in 114 patients. 3 patients were successfully treated with right fourth intercostal small incision atrial defect occlusion due to the coaxial problem of occlusive device and atrial defect. One patient underwent repair of atrial septum defect during the correction of right ventricular injury. The selected size of occluder ranged from 12 mm to 38 mm. One case of ethmoidal orifice was successfully blocked with double occlusive device. There was no occlusive device displacement, no obvious residual shunt, peripheral vascular injury and other complications occurred in successful occlusive patients. 110 patients were directly transferred back to the general ward after extubation. The postoperative hospital stay was(2.3±1.1) days and the total hospitalization time was(4.5±1.7) days. There were 7 patients with tricuspid regurgitation above mild to moderate before operation, and 6 patients with tricuspid regurgitation decreased to mild regurgitation after occlusion. One month after operation, the pulmonary artery pressure of 51 patients with moderate and severe pulmonary hypertension decreased from(50.4±11.4)mmHg to(38.9±12.9) mmHg( P<0.05). The occlusive device was well fixed and no residual shunt was found. Conclusion:Transesophageal echocardiography guided transcatheter closure of atrial septum defect is not only safe and effective in adult cardiac surgery, but also can avoid radiation and contrast agent injury.
