		                        			Objective:To compare the efficacy of radial forearm flap and anterolateral thigh flap in repairing soft tissue defects after oral cancer surgery and to explore their indications.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of patients with oral cancer treated at the Department of Stomatology, Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University, from May 2019 to February 2023. Patients were divided into two groups based on the repair method: the radial forearm flap group and the anterolateral thigh flap group. The groups were compared in the following aspects. (1) Surgical parameters including defect area after oral cancer resection, flap area, flap preparation time, operation time, and length of hospital stay. (2) Inflammatory markers (interleukin-6 and C-reactive protein levels) measured 1 day before surgery and 1 day after surgery. (3) Flap survival rate was calculated. (4) Complication rates was calculated in the flap donor area and infection rates in the oral recipient area within 6 months postoperatively. (5) Six months postoperatively, the patient’s oral function was assessed by a physician using the University of Washington quality of life scale (UW-QOL). The evaluation included assessments of oral opening, speech, and eating functions. Each parameter was scored on a scale of 0 to 10 (higher scores indicated better recovery). (6) Quality of life was assessed using the 36-item short form health survey scale(SF-36) at 2, 4 and 6 months postoperatively, with scores ranging from 0 to 100 (higher scores indicated better quality of life). (7) Patient satisfaction was assessed at 6 months postoperatively, with satisfaction levels categorized as satisfied, basically satisfied, and dissatisfied. The satisfaction rate was calculated as (satisfied + basically satisfied ) cases / total cases in each group × 100%. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 22.0. Measurement data were expressed as Mean±SD, and comparisons between groups were conducted using t-tests. Count data were expressed as cases and (or) percentages, and comparisons were made using chi-square test. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:The radial forearm flap group included 48 cases (32 males, 16 females), aged (49.3±5.0) years, with a body mass index (BMI) of (23.0±1.1) kg/m 2 and a disease course of (6.5±2.1) months. The group had 21 cases of tongue cancer, 12 of floor of mouth cancer, and 15 of buccal cancer, including 40 squamous cell carcinomas and 8 basal cell carcinomas. The anterolateral thigh flap group included 32 cases (20 males, 12 females), aged (50.1±5.0) years, with a BMI of (23.0±1.0) kg/m 2 and a disease course of (7.0±2.2) months. The group had 16 cases of tongue cancer, 7 cases of floor of mouth cancer, and 9 cases of buccal cancer, including 27 squamous cell carcinomas and 5 basal cell carcinomas. There were no significant differences in gender, age, BMI, disease course, tumor location, or pathological type between the two groups ( P>0.05). The defect area after oral cancer resection was smaller in the radial forearm flap group[ (39.0±1.3) cm 2 ] compared to the anterolateral thigh flap group[ (40.3±2.2) cm 2] ( t=3.32, P=0.001). There were no significant differences in flap area, flap preparation time, or length of hospital stay between the two groups ( P>0.05). The operation time was shorter in the radial forearm flap group [(5.1±1.1) h] compared to the anterolateral thigh flap group [(6.8±2.8) h] ( t=0.26, P<0.001). There were no significant differences in interleukin-6 and C-reactive protein levels between the two groups 1 day before surgery and 1 day after surgery ( P>0.05). The flap survival rates were 97.9% (47/48) in the radial forearm flap group and 93.8% (30/32) in the anterolateral thigh flap group, with no significant difference( P>0.05). Postoperative donor site complications mainly included infection, pigmentation, itching, etc. The overall incidence of complications in the donor site of the radial forearm flap [33.3% (16/48)] was higher than that in the anterolateral thigh flap group [12.5% (4/32)], and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=4.44, P=0.035). There was no significant difference in infection rates in the oral recipient area between the two groups ( P>0.05). Six months postoperatively, the average scores for oral opening, speech, and eating functions were above 7 in both groups, with no significant differences ( P>0.05). Quality of life scores improved over time in both groups, with average scores above 90 at 6 months postoperatively, and no significant differences at any time point ( P>0.05). The patient satisfaction rate was 91.7% (44/48) in the radial forearm flap group and 90.6% (29/32) in the anterolateral thigh flap group, with no significant difference ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Both radial forearm flap and anterolateral thigh flap can effectively repair soft tissue defects after oral cancer resection, significantly improving patients’oral function. The anterolateral thigh flap provides sufficient tissue volume and is suitable for patients with larger defect areas. The radial forearm flap is suitable for patients with a smaller defect area after oral cancer resection. Its surgical procedure is relatively less complex and offers an advantage in reducing surgery time. However, the donor site complications are higher with the radial forearm flap compared to the anterolateral thigh flap.

		                        			Objective:To understand the status quo of emotional intelligence, emotional labor, and humanistic caring ability of medical staff, and to clarify their internal relationship.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 713 medical staff from a grade A tertiary hospital in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China. Emotional Intelligence Scale, Humanistic Caring Scale, and Emotional Labor Scale were used to measure the emotional intelligence, humanistic caring ability, and emotional labor of medical staff. SPSS 22.0 software was used to establish a database for statistical description and analysis. Process 3.2 software was used to analyze the mediating effect.Results:In humanistic caring ability, the average score of comprehension dimension was the highest (75.62±8.20) and the average score of patience dimension was the lowest (58.53±5.01). In emotional labor, the average score of the deep action dimension was the highest (23.39±3.85) and the average score of the surface action dimension was the lowest (17.73±3.18). In emotional intelligence, the average score of self-emotion evaluation dimension was the highest (21.76±3.30) and the average score of other-emotion evaluation dimension was the lowest (20.07±3.71). Positive correlations were found between humanistic caring ability and emotional intelligence, between humanistic caring ability and emotional labor, and between emotional intelligence and emotional labor ( P<0.01). Humanistic caring ability had a partial mediating effect between emotional intelligence and emotional labor. Humanistic caring ability had direct and indirect effects on emotional labor, and the effect sizes were 0.279 and 0.029, respectively. Conclusion:Emotional intelligence has a direct positive predictive effect on emotional labor, humanistic caring ability as an intermediary variable indirectly and positively predicts emotional labor. Humanistic caring ability plays a partial mediating role between emotional intelligence and emotional labor. Attention should be paid to the emotional labor of medical staff, and the emotional labor of medical staff should be improved through targeted training on emotional intelligence and humanistic caring ability. These efforts will improve the current situation and establish a harmonious doctor-patient relationship.

		                        			Human milk oligosaccharides (HMO) are important immunoactive components found in breast milk. Scientific research proves that HMOs are significantly beneficial for infant health. 2'-fucosyllactose (2'-FL) is the major component of HMO, which obtained growing attentions from food industry. Besides, 3-fucosyllactose (3-FL) is another important fucosyllactose and it has a similar synthetic route comparing to 2'-FL. Thus, research of the two HMO components has interactive effects for each other. Recently, numerous publications are available for 2'-FL and 3-FL. The microbial cell factory is able to massively produce fucosyllactose via an efficient way, which will show considerable influences in dairy industry. In this paper, we review recent studies on 2'-FL and 3-FL, and discuss their prospects according to published literature and patents.

		                        			OBJECTIVE:To study the e ffects of stilbene glycoside c(TSG)on phosphorylation of Thr 205,Ser404 sites of Tau protein in Aizheimer ’s disease (AD)model mice ,and to investigate the potential anti-AD mechanism of TSG. METHODS :APP/ PS1/Tau three transgenes (3×Tg-AD)mice were randomly divided into model group ,positive control group (huperzine,0.15 mg/kg),TSG low-dose ,medium-dose and high-dose groups (0.033,0.1,0.3 g/kg),with 6 mice in each group. In addition ,6 C57BL/6J mice were chosen as normal control group. Administration groups were given relevant medicine intragastrically. Model group and normal control group were given equal volume of normal saline intragastrically ,once a day ,for consecutive 60 days. After last medication ,immunofluorescence staining was used to detect Tau protein and phosphorylated Tau protein (Thr205, Ser404 sites) distribution and expression in brain tissue of mice in each group. Western blotting assay was used to detect phosphorylated Tau protein (Thr205,Ser404 sites)expression  level in brain tissue of mice in each group. RESULTS :Compared with normal control group ,the expression of Tau  protein,phosphorylated Tau protein (Thr205,Ser404 sites)in 729011126@qq.com the brain tissue of mice were increased in model group ,which  were easy to aggregate and distributed more widely ;theirrelative expression were increased significantly (P<0.01). Results of Western blotting assay showed that the expression levels of phosphorylat ed Tau protein (Thr205,Ser404 sites)were increased significantly (P<0.01). Compared with model group ,the expression of Tau protein ,phosphorylated Tau protein (Thr205,Ser404 sites) in the brain tissue of mice were decreased in positive control group and TSG groups ;aggregation decreased,distribution narrowed and their relative expression were decreased significantly (P<0.01). Results of Western blotting assay showed that the expression levels of phosphorylated Tau protein (Thr205,Ser404 sites)were decreased significantly (P< 0.01). Compared with positive control group ,There was no significant difference in the distribution of Tau protein ,phosphorylated Tau protein (Thr205,Ser404 sites)in the brain tissue of mice in TSG groups ;the relative expression were not statistically significant(P>0.05);but Western blotting assay showed the expression levels of phosphorylated Tau protein (Thr205 site)in TSG medium-dose and high-dose groups as well as the expression levels of phosphorylated Tau protein (Ser404 site)in TSG groups were decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS :TSG can play an anti-AD effect on AD model mice by down-regulating the expression of phosphorylated Tau protein (Thr205,Ser404 sites)in brain tissue.
