Objective: We aimed to investigate the pattern, risk, and treatment of subsequent events after curative-intent treatment of lip cancer.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 313 patients treated for lip cancer from 2011 to 2021 in a tertiary oncological center.
Results: After a median follow-up time of 29.16 months, 145 (46.32%) patients presented with second primary tumors, 93% of which were skin carcinomas. Locoregional recurrence occurred in 7.9% of cases, with 2.5% with nodal recurrence. The 1-, 5-, and 10-year cumulative second primary tumor probabilities were 32.8%, 60.92%, and 70.92%, respectively. A higher risk was observed in elderly patients and basal cell carcinoma cases located on the cutaneous surface of the upper lip. Regional metastasis but not second primary tumors negatively impacted survival.
Conclusions: Our study helps fill a literature gap, structuring specific recommendations regarding evaluations and follow-up protocols for patients with lip cancer. Since cutaneous second primary tumors were the most common second event, standard skin examination is key. Age and histology were significant predictors for second primary tumors. For cases of locally advanced lip squamous cell carcinoma, standard guidelines for head and neck cancer must be followed.

Transcutaneous devices such as dental implants frequently fail due to infections at their interfaces with epithelial tissues. These infections are facilitated by the lack of integration between the devices and the surrounding soft tissues. This study aims to improve epithelial integration through surface modification of a transcutaneous implant material (polyetheretherketone (PEEK)).

Under China's national sustainability strategy, the logistics industry is confronted with the imperative of high-quality green development. Given its status as the leading economic province and a national logistics hub, investigating green logistics development in Guangdong province holds paramount strategic importance. To comprehensively evaluate green logistics development efficiency of 21 cities in Guangdong from 2016 to 2022, this study employed the super-efficiency slacks-based measure model (Super-SBM) with undesirable outputs, the Global Malmquist-Luenberger (GML) productivity index and a four-quadrant analysis based on static and dynamic efficiency.

This study examines China's national standard development from 2001 to 2023. Using machine splitting and location assignment technology, the Dagum Gini coefficient and its decomposition methods, and traditional and spatial Markov chain estimation methods, we identify the spatiotemporal disparities and dynamic transition characteristics of the contribution levels to national standard development across China's eight comprehensive economic zones. The findings provide a reference for promoting regional coordinated sustainable development and high-quality economic transformation.

Background: THP (trastuzumab + paclitaxel + pertuzumab) and THPy (trastuzumab + paclitaxel + pyrotinib) are widely used as first-line regimens for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) in China. However, direct comparative data on their efficacy and safety remain scarce. This study evaluates and compares the clinical outcomes of THPy and THP in the first-line treatment of HER2-positive MBC to guide clinical decision-making.

This document focuses on cervical ripening in individuals with term, singleton, vertex pregnancies with membranes intact, because this is the population in whom most studies were conducted. For more information on recommended timing of delivery based on maternal, fetal, and obstetric conditions and on labor management, refer to: American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) Committee Opinion No.
