Sleep disorders is one of the most frequent and severe complications in patients with tinnitus and is highly correlated with the severity of tinnitus.Sleep disorders and tinnitus influence each other,forming a vicious circle.While in-terventions have been developed to alleviate tinnitus distress,these interventions are usually not effective in improving sleep in patients with tinnitus and sleep disorders.Helping tinnitus patients to resolve sleep disorders is the key to breaking the cycle and improving their quality of life.In this narrative review,we studyed the current state of research on sleep disorders in patients with tinnitus through three aspects:epidemiology,physiological and psychological mechanisms,and existing psychological,physical,and pharmacological interventions,and to provide a basis for further research on the relationship between tinnitus and sleep disorders and the precise treatment of tinnitus.

Objective This study mainly focuses on the relationship between the serum glycoprotein non-metastatic melanoma protein B(GPNMB)concentration and the degree of neurological damage and prognosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke(AIS),and screens potential biomarkers to provide a reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods A total of 105 AIS patients hospitalized in the Department of Neurology of the Hospital 2 of Nantong University from June 2023 to March 2024 were selected as the sample group.In this study,the patients were divided into mild group(n=42)and moderate to severe group(n=63)according to the National Institutes of Health Strobe Scale(NIHSS)score within 24 hours of admission.The Modified Rankin Scale(mRS)was used to evaluate the functional recovery 3 months after discharge.The samples were subdivided into good prognosis group(n=34)and poor prognosis group(n=71).The serum GPNMB protein level was detected by ELISA,and the correlation between serum GPNMB protein level and NIHSS and mRS scores was analyzed.The binary Logistic regression model was used to evaluate the predictive value and prognostic evaluation value of serum GPNMB protein level for AIS neurological function damage.Results The serum GPNMB protein concentration in patients with moderate to severe neurological impairment and poor prognosis was significantly lower than that in patients with mild and good prognosis(P<0.05).The serum GPNMB protein level was significantly negatively correlated with the NIHSS score(r=-0.196,P<0.05)and the mRS score(r=-0.334,P<0.05).Multivariate regression analysis showed that GPNMB was still a key independent risk factor for AIS(P<0.05).The evaluation results obtained based on the receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)showed that the serum GPNMB protein level had diagnostic value in predicting neurological impairment and poor prognosis(sensitivity reached 55.6%,specificity was 81.8%,and the overall accuracy was 63.81%,P<0.05).Conclusion There is a significant positive correlation between the decrease in serum GPNMB protein concentration and the degree of neurological damage in AIS patients,and it is likely to become an important biological indicator for measuring the severity of the disease and long-term prognosis.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of the gastric oxyntic gland adenoma(GOGA).Methods We collected 18 samples of GOGA,histopathological features and immunohistochemical staining were assessed.Main features of pathological diagnosis,treatment methods and follow-up were retrospectively analyzed.Results There were 18 patients,including 9 females and 9 males,aged from 36 to 86 years old.The endoscopic im-age showed a flat lesion with whitish in color or a polypoid protrusions.The size ranged from 0.3 cm to 0.8 cm.Hema-toxylin and eosin staining showed irregular glandular structures in the mucosal lamina propria,with branched and anas-tomosed patterns.The tumour demonstrating composed of chief cells hyperplasia with mild nuclear atypia.All lesions were confined to the mucous lamina propria.There was no atrophic within the peripheral gastic mucosa.Immunohisto-chemical examination showed positive for Pepsinogen-Ⅰ and MUC6.Gene mutation were analyzed in 2 cases using next generation sequence technology,and no KRAS and GNAS mutation had been detected.Endoscopic surgical treatment was performed in 11 cases,and biopsy forceps removal was carried out in 7 cases.No recurrence or metastasis was ob-served during the follow-up period of 1 to 58 months.Conclusion GOGA is a rare lesion,and appears to behave bio-logically benign.A full understanding of its histological morphology and biological behavior can improve the diagnostic ability of clinincans,and facilitate further research in the future.

Objective To investigate the occurrence risk for common complications of internal jugular vein(IJV)and subclavian vein(SCV)catheterization,and provide reference for the prevention and treatment of common com-plications during clinical intravenous infusion therapy.Methods Data from China National Knowledge Infrastruc-ture(CNKI),Wanfang Database,VIP Database,Embase(via OVID),PubMed,Cochrane Library,CINAHL,Web of Science,and ScienceDirect were retrieved,with the search period from database establishment to August 3,2023.Prospective cohort and experimental studies on common complications in patients with IJV and SCV cathete-rization were collected.Meta-analysis on the extracted data was performed with RevMan 5.3 software.Results A total of 29 studies involving 14 096 patients were included in the analysis,including 6 355 patients with SCV cathe-terization(SCV group)and 7 741 patients with IJV catheterization(IJV group).Meta-analysis results showed that the occurrence risk for hemopneumothorax(OR=0.23,95％CI[0.14-0.37])and catheter tip ectopic(OR=0.16,95％CI[0.03-0.85])in SCV group was higher than that in IJV group,and the occurrence risk for central venous catheter-related deep venous thrombosis in IJV group was higher than that in SCV group(OR=2.35,95％CI[1.31-4.21]),with statistically significant differences(all P＜0.01).There were no statistical differences in the occurrence risk of vascular catheter-related bloodstream infection(CRBSI),catheter blockage,and catheter local he-matoma between the two groups(all P＞0.05),there was difference in the combined result of subgroup analysis re-garding catheter bacterial colonization.Conclusion Compared with IJV,patients in SCV group have a higher risk of developing hemopneumothorax and catheter tip ectopic,while patients with catheterization in IJV group have a high-er risk of deep veinous thrombosis.There are no significant differences in the occurrence risk for CRBSI,catheter blockage,and catheter local hematoma between two groups of patients.It is suggested that patient's own conditions and the accessibility of deep vein catheterization should be considered more when selecting the site of deep venous catheterization.

Objective:To investigate the iodine nutrition level of different populations in Daxing District of Beijing, and to provide a basis for implementation of "tailored measures, classified guidance, and scientific iodine supplementation" for prevention and control of iodine deficiency disorders.Methods:From 2020 to 2023, Daxing District of Beijing was divided into 5 districts from April to September each year based on east, west, south, north, and center. One township (street) was selected from each district, and 20 pregnant women, 40 women of childbearing age, 40 adult males, and 40 non boarding children aged 8 to 10 from one primary school were selected from each township (street). At the same time, 100 pregnant women with current addresses in Daxing District, Beijing were selected from one obstetrics hospital in Daxing District every year. Once random urine sample was collected from all survey subjects, and the household edible salt samples were collected from children and 400 pregnant women for determination of urinary iodine and salt iodine levels.Results:From 2020 to 2023, a total of 3 022 urine samples were collected, including 920, 700, 702, and 700 samples from children aged 8 - 10, pregnant women, women of childbearing age, and adult males, respectively. The median urinary iodine levels were 181.1, 135.0, 144.0, and 140.0 μg/L, respectively. There were statistically significant differences in urinary iodine levels among children aged 8 - 10, pregnant women, and women of childbearing age in different years ( H = 77.88, 9.40, 22.11, P < 0.05). A total of 1 320 household edible salt samples were collected from children aged 8 - 10 and pregnant women. Among them, 920 salt samples were collected from children, the median salt iodine was 21.3 mg/kg, the iodized salt coverage rate was 88.48% (814/920), and the qualified iodized salt consumption rate was 80.76% (743/920). Four hundred salt samples were collected from pregnant women, the median salt iodine was 21.8 mg/kg, the coverage rate of iodized salt was 90.25% (361/400), and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 77.50% (310/400). The results of correlation analysis showed there was no correlation between urinary iodine level of children aged 8 to 10 and pregnant women with their salt iodine level ( r = 0.06, 0.07, P = 0.055, 0.142). Conclusions:Pregnant women in Daxing District, Beijing are at a deficiency level in iodine nutrition, with children aged 8 - 10, women of childbearing age, and adult males all at an appropriate level of iodine nutrition. We should strengthen health education for pregnant women and ensure that they receive sufficient iodine nutrition. At the same time, relevant departments should increase the supervision and management of iodized salt.

AIM:To explore the role and mechanism of calcium-sensing receptor(CaSR)in regulating macro-phage polarization in hypertensive rats.METHODS:Male spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHR)and Wistar-Kyoto(WKY)rats were categorized into WKY group,SHR group,SHR+R568(CaSR agonist)group,and SHR+NPS2143(CaSR inhibitor)group.The thoracic aorta was isolated,and the expression of CaSR and macrophage polarization markers in the aorta was observed through immunofluorescence staining.The primary peritoneal macrophages of SHR and WKY rats were aseptically extracted following anesthesia.After intervention with R568 and NPS2143,the expression levels of M1 and M2 markers of peritoneal macrophages were observed by Western blot and immunofluorescence staining.The levels of interleukin(IL)-1β and IL-10 were measured by ELISA.The concentration of Ca2+in peritoneal macrophages was mea-sured by immunofluorescence.Western blot was employed to identify the expression of CaSR and nucleotide-binding oligo-merization domain-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3)inflammasome components.Following anesthesia,vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMCs)were isolated from SHR using an adherent method.Subsequently,a co-culture system was estab-lished with macrophage supernatant.The optimal action time for this co-culture system was determined through CCK-8 as-say.RESULTS:Compared with SHR group,activation of CaSR resulted in a significant decrease in the protein expres-sion of M1 polarization markers(P<0.05)and a concomitant increase in the protein expression of M2 polarization markers in the aorta(P<0.05).Compared with SHR group,administration of R568 led to a significant decrease in the protein ex-pression of M1 polarization markers(P<0.05)and a concomitant increase in the protein expression of M2 polarization markers(P<0.05)in peritoneal macrophages.Additionally,there was a notable reduction in the protein levels of NLRP3 inflammasome components(P<0.05).Furthermore,the fluorescence intensity of intracellular Ca2+was significantly en-hanced following R568 treatment(P<0.05).After administration of MCC950,an NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor,the re-sults were consistent with those observed following R568 treatment,demonstrating statistical significance(P<0.05).This effect was reversed by the combined intervention of U73122,a phospholipase C(PLC)inhibitor(P<0.05).Compared with the control(0 h),the 24-h peritoneal macrophage supernatant exhibited the strongest capacity to enhance the viabili-ty of VSMCs after 24 h of culture(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:In hypertensive rats,the CaSR inhibits NLRP3 inflamma-some activation via the PLC-Ca2+signaling pathway,thereby mediating an increase in macrophage polarization towards the M2 phenotype and a decrease towards the M1 phenotype.
