Construction and verification of prediction model for postoperative hypokalemia in patients with oral cancer.

Objectives: This study aimed to explore the risk factors of postoperative hypokalemia in patients with oral cancer and to provide a basis for preventing and controlling postoperative hypokalemia.

Methods: We included 366 patients undergoing oral cancer surgery in the Department of Head and Neck Oncology, West China Hospital of Stomatology, Sichuan University from January 2022 to August 2022. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to determine the risk factors of postoperative hypokalemia.

Current status and influencing factors of fear of surgery in patients with oral and maxillofacial tumors.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the incidence and severity of surgical fear in patients with oral and maxillofacial tumors.

Methods: The survey participants were composed of patients with oral and maxillofacial tumors, who were scheduled to undergo surgery. A general information questionnaire, the Surgical Fear Questionnaire (SFQ), the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ)-9, and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)-7 score were used for the investigation.

Prediction of postoperative dysphagia in patients with oral cancer: A prospective cohort study.

Objectives: This study aims to identify autonomous risk factors for postoperative dysphagia in oral cancer patients and construct a nomogram prediction model to improve risk assessment accuracy and feasibility in clinical settings.

Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted from March to July 2022 among oral cancer patients undergoing surgical interventions at the Department of Head and Neck Surgery. Clinical data were collected using the Postoperative Dysphagia Risk Factor Questionnaire.

Facial nerve function training in patients with peripheral facial paralysis: an expert consensus.

Facial nerve training can prevent facial expression muscle atrophy and promote the recovery of facial para-lysis in patients with peripheral facial paralysis. However, there is still a lack of specific and unified technical standards for facial nerve training, which results in a variety of clinical training methods and uneven levels. In order to standardize the application of facial nerve function training technology for nursing staff, the study convened relevant domestic experts, based on evidence-based combination with the disease characteristics of peripheral facial paralysis and expert clinical experience, conducted in-depth interviews with experts, expert correspondence and expert meetings, and finally formulated the expert consensus on facial nerve function training in patients with peripheral facial paralysis.

Systematic review of risk factors of postoperative dysphagia in patients with oral cancer.

Objectives: This study aims to identify risk factors of postoperative dysphagia in patients with oral cancer by systematic review.

Methods: Cohort studies in Chinese or English on risk factors of postoperative dysphagia in patients with oral cancer were searched from CNKI, Wanfang database, VIP Chinese Journal Database, China Biomedical Literature Service System, Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Clinical Trials from the beginning to June 30, 2021. Subject words combined with free words were used to retrieve related articles.

Concentration standardization improves the capacity of drainage CRP and IL-6 to predict surgical site infections.

The ability to predict surgical site infections (SSIs) early would be advantageous. Previous studies have investigated the use of inflammatory factors in fluids drained from surgical sites to predict SSI, but the diagnostic efficacy of this method requires improvement. Baseline levels of inflammatory factors vary between individuals, but this variation tends to differ in patients with and without SSIs.

[Application of artificial intelligence in stomatology treatment and nursing].

Currently, artificial intelligence technology is being developed rapidly and is used in many clinical areas, especially in stomatology. The application of artificial intelligence technology in stomatology is a new technological revolution. This study focuses on artificial intelligence and its application status.

Current research on head and neck cancer-associated long noncoding RNAs.

Head and neck cancers (HNC) are one of the ten leading cancers worldwide, including a range of malignant tumors arising from the upper neck. Due to the complex mechanisms of HNC and lack of effective biomarkers, the 5-year survival rate of HNC has been low and the mortality rate has been high in recent decades. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), noncoding RNAs longer than 200 bps, are a focus of current cancer research, closely related to tumor biology.

[Application of gastric tube interposition by touching laryngeal prominence in postoperative oral cancer patients].

Objective: This study explores the application of gastric tube interposition by touching laryngeal prominence in postoperative oral cancer patients.
