Objective To explore the anti-depression mechanism of Kai-Xin-San(KXS)via regulation of neurogenesis in hippocampus of depression-like mice.Methods The extracts of KXS were prepared and the anti-depression effects of KXS were evaluated by behavioral tests on chronic unpredictable mild stress(CUMS)induced depression-like mice.Evaluating depression-like behavior in CUMS mice through sucrose preference test,forced swimming test,tail suspension test,and other methods.Neurogenesis in hippocampus were determined by immunofluorescence assay.In addition,effects of KXS on regulating nestin expression and Wnt/b-catenin signaling pathway were explored by western blotting analysis.Amounts of cortisol,corticotropin-releasing factor(CRF),adrenocorticotropic hormone(ACTH),brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)and nerve growth factor(NGF)were determined by ELISA tests.Mouse primary neural stem cells(NSC)was used to evaluate the effect of KXS on promoting its proliferation by immunofluorescence assay.In addition,effects of KXS on regulating nestin and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway were also explored by Western blotting analysis.Results KXS significantly ameliorated the depression-like behaviors in presence of increased sucrose preference rate and decreased immobile time of tail suspension and forced swimming.KXS significantly promoted the neurogenesis in the hippocampus and expressions of nestin,reduced the expressions of cortisol,CRF,ACTH,increased the expressions of BDNF,NGF,and regulated Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.KXS also promoted the proliferation of NSCs and expressions of nestin,enhanced the translocation of b-catenin into nucleus,and regulated the expressions of proteins of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.Conclusion KXS promoted neurogenesis in hippocampus and regulated Wnt/β-catenin pathway,which might contribute to its antidepressant effect.

Objective To investigate the beneficial effect of Kai-Xin-San combined with fluoxetine in improving depression-like behaviors on chronic unpredictable mild stress(CUMS)induced depression model mice.Methods The present study aimed to assess the potential of Kai-Xin-San in combination with fluoxetine to ameliorate depression-like behaviors in a CUMS induced mouse depression model.Behavioral tests,such as the sucrose preference test were employed to evaluate the efficacy of the treatment.Additionally,the levels of suppressed stress factors were measured using the ELISA method.The morphology of hippocampal tissue was evaluated using the HE staining method,Nissl Staining and TUNEL staining methods.Furthermore,western blotting analysis was utilized to determine the expression levels of proteins such as Caspase-3,and Caspase-9.Results The co-administration of Kai-Xin-San and fluoxetine resulted in a significant increase in sucrose preference rate in model mice.This effect was comparable to that of fluoxetine alone at the standard clinical dose.Furthermore,the combination treatment up-regulated the levels of suppressed stress factors,reduced the apoptosis of hippocampus induced by depression and regulated the apoptosis signaling pathway in hippocampus.Conclusion The combination of Kai-Xin-San and fluoxetine has been shown to be an effective treatment for depression-like behavior in animal models,resulting in a reduction in the required clinical dosage of fluoxetine.This effect may be attributed to the up-regulation of neurotransmitter expression,inhibition of stress axis activation,and central nervous inflammation.

OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of Kai-Xin-San(KXS)combined with fluoxetine on the intestinal flora and the expression of inflammatory factors in chronic unpredictable mild stress(CUMS)depression mice and to elucidate the antidepressant mechanism of regulating"intestine-brain"axis.METHODS CUMS depression mice model was established and the effect of com-bined medication on improving depression-like behaviors of mice was evaluated by determination of sucrose preference rate,immobile time of tail suspension and forced swimming.Additionally,the levels of inflammatory factors IL-6,IL-1β,TNF-α and LPS were de-termined in cortex,serum and intestine using the ELISA method.The composition of intestinal flora in mouse feces was analyzed by 16S rRNA sequence sequencing.Furthermore,Western blot assay was utilized to determine the expression levels of intestinal barrier proteins such as ZO-1,Occludin and Claudin-5.RESULTS The combination of KXS and fluoxetine resulted in a significant in-crease in sucrose preference rate(P<0.01)and decreased immobile time of tail suspension and forced swimming(P<0.05,P<0.01)in CUMS mice.The antidepressant effect of KXS combined with middle dose of fluoxetine was equivalent to that of high dose of fluoxe-tine alone.Meanwhile,the combination could significantly inhibit the up-regulation of inflammatory factors in the cortex,serum and small intestine of model animals(P<0.05,P<0.01).Intestinal flora analysis showed that the combination could improve the ratio of Gram-positive bacteria to negative bacteria in the intestinal tract of model animals,and the improvement of the relative abundance of intestinal bacteria Lachnospiraceae,Bifidobacterium,Ruminococcus,Blautia,Eubacterium,Intestinimonas,Erysipelotrichaceae,Alis-tipes,Desulfovibrionia and Coriobacteriaceae UCG-002 and so on in the model animals was significantly related to the alleviation of de-pression-like behavior and the down-regulation of cortical inflammatory factors(P<0.05,P<0.01).Furthermore,the combination treatment could significantly up-regulate the expression of intestinal barrier protein(P<0.01).CONCLUSION KXS combined with fluoxetine can alleviate depression-like behavior and reduce fluoxetine dosage in CUMS model animals.The combination of the two drugs may regulate the composition of intestinal flora,inhibit the expression of intestinal inflammatory factors,up-regulate intestinal barrier proteins,and thus reduce the expression of serum and central inflammatory factors,which may be the mechanism of their regu-lation of the gut brain axis in antidepressant action.

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.

To improve the current situation of multiple preoperative visits and evaluations for elderly patients and other patients with complex conditions, in December 2022, Peking Union Medical College Hospital established preoperative multidisciplinary evaluation clinic (shorted as joint clinic). The joint clinic established a multidisciplinary team, clarified service targets, and developed standardized clinic workflows to provide patients with a " one-stop" preoperative assessment(physical fitness assessment, nutritional assessment, and frailty assessment, etc.), nutritional optimization intervention, and prerehabilitation education and guidance services. This practice strengthened preoperative risk management, improved preoperative assessment efficiency, and ensured the safety of patients during the perioperative period. As of September 2023, the joint clinic had received a total of 128 patients, of which 86 underwent surgery after preoperative evaluation and prehabilitation optimization. The obesity rate, smoking rate, and number of frailty cases of these patients had decreased from 13.96%, 11.63%, and 18 at the time of visit to 9.30%, 4.65%, and 14 on the day before surgery, respectively. They had recovered well after surgery. This practice had improved the preoperative status of patients and created conditions for high-risk patients to undergo surgery smoothly, so as to provide references for other hospitals to carry out multidisciplinary collaborative preoperative evaluation works.

Objective: The study aimed to review the oncological characteristics and treatment of pregnancy-associated cancers and analyze the obstetric and neonatal outcomes to provide evidence-based recommendations for reproductive function preservation, oncological treatment, and obstetric management. Methods: We conducted an observational retrospective cohort study among pregnant patients with cancer in 7 Chinese tertiary A hospitals from 2003 to 2021. We conducted multiple logistic regression to determine the influence of various factors on preterm birth and small-for-gestational-age infants, log-binomial regression to analyze temporal changes, and χ 2 tests to explore the effects of cancer type/treatment. Results: Of 204 women, 17% terminated their pregnancies; 59% received pre-delivery treatment. Every 6 years, the rates of pregnancy termination (relative risk [RR]=0.48;95% confidence interval [CI]=0.35–0.67) and iatrogenic preterm births (RR=0.73; 95% CI=0.54–0.98) reduced, and that of pre-delivery treatment increased, mainly due to increased rates of surgery (RR=1.87; 95% CI=1.31–2.67). Maternal systemic diseases were related to small-for-gestational-age infants (odds ratio [OR]=12.02; 95% CI=1.82–79.43).Chemotherapy with taxanes plus platinum-based agents was related to adverse obstetric outcomes (OR=1.87; 95% CI=1.42–2.46; p<0.05). Thyroid (OR=0.36; 95% CI=0.22–0.57) and ovarian cancer (OR=0.70; 95% CI=0.50–0.98) were associated with fewer cesarean sections.Thyroid cancer was associated with fetal growth restriction (OR=5.21; 95% CI=1.21–22.55). Conclusion Rates of pregnancy termination in cancer declined. Taxane plus platinum-based chemotherapy was associated with adverse obstetric outcomes. Cancer type influenced outcomes.

Objective:To explore the role of navigation-assisted valgus stress method in avoiding excessive correction of lower limb mechanical axis after high tibial osteotomy (HTO).Methods:A retrospective study was carried out on osteoarthritis (OA) patients who were treated with HTO for medial compartment pain of knee from January 2020 to March 2022 in the Department of Joint Surgery, Shanghai Changhai Hospital, the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University. According to the different ways of confirming alignment during operation, they were divided into computer navigation assisted valgus stress HTO group (referred to as navigation group) and traditional rod fluoroscopy HTO group (referred to as traditional group). There were 28 patients in the navigation group, 10 males and 18 females, with age of 54.4±9.1 years (range, 41-73 years) and body mass index of 26.1±3.3 kg/m 2 (range, 19.8-35.2 kg/m 2); There were 30 patients in the traditional group, 13 males and 17 females, aged 56.9±8.5 years (range, 40-70 years), with a body mass index of 25.7±4.0 kg/m 2 (range, 19.2-32.9 kg/m 2). Measuring the mechanical femoral tibial angle (mFTA), joint line convergence angle (JLCA), medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA), Lysholm score and Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score before operation and at the last follow-up of the two groups, and conduct statistical analysis. Results:Both groups were followed up. The follow-up time of navigation group and traditional group was 21.3±8.7 months and 22.5±7.6 months, respectively, with no significant difference ( t=0.53, P=0.596). There were significant differences between the two groups in the amount of mechanical axis correction (ΔmFTA) and the amount of bone correction (ΔMPTA) ( t=2.09, P=0.041; t=2.58, P=0.012), while there was no significant difference in ΔJLCA ( t=0.32, P=0.753). In the navigation group, there were 9 cases (32%) of undercorrection, 17 cases (61%) with acceptable alignment, and 2 cases (7%) with over correction, while in the traditional group, there were 5 cases (17%) with under correction, 13 cases (43%) with acceptable alignment, and 12 cases (40%) with over correction. There was significant difference in the distribution rate of alignment between the two groups ( P=0.012), and the rate of overcorrection in the navigation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (7% vs. 40%, P=0.005). The intra group correlation coefficient between the navigation correction mechanical axis and ΔmFTA was 0.787. There was no significant difference in Lysholm score and HSS score between the two groups before and after surgery (all P>0.05), and they were significantly improved after operation (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Navigation-assisted valgus stress method HTO is reliable, which can accurately achieve the target alignment, reduce the incidence of over correction, and obtain good clinical results.

Abstract Allergic diseases can occur in all systems of the body, covering the whole life cycle, from children to adults and to old age, can be lifelong onset and even fatal in severe cases. Children account for the largest proportion of the victims of allergic disease, Children s allergies start from scratch, ranging from mild to severe, from less to more, from single to multiple systems and systemic performance, so the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases in children is of great importance, which can not only prevent high risk allergic conditions from developing into allergic diseases, but also further block the process of allergy. At present, there is no consensus on the management system of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools. The "Consensus on Allergy Management and Prevention in Kindergartens and Primary Schools", which includes the organizational structure, system construction and management of allergic children, provides evidence informed recommendations for the long term comprehensive management of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools, and provides a basis for the establishment of the prevention system for allergic children.
