Circadian rhythm is a biological endogenous process regulated by the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus, which transmits light signals to peripheral clocks and synchronizes the body with the external environment through balanced expression of circadian rhythm genes. Working the night shift, sleep disorders, and exposure to artificial light can lead to disturbances in circadian rhythm and genetic imbalances. A substantial body of research has demonstrated that circadian rhythm plays a significant role in the treatment of autoimmune diseases and neurodegenerative disorders, with increasing attention being directed toward their impact on oral health. Disturbances in circadian rhythm primarily affect psycho-neuro-immune mechanisms, oxidative stress responses, and oral microflora through pathways such as the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis), brain and muscle ARNT-like 1 (BMAL1)-brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling, and BMAL1-nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) interactions. These disruptions may influence the progression of oral diseases. Certain pharmacological agents (e.g., melatonin, vitamin D, nobiletin, and propofol) have been shown to regulate mood disorders, immune function, and sleep-wake cycles by upregulating BMAL1 expression, thus alleviating disturbances in circadian rhythm. In addition, non-pharmacological interventions, such as sleep management strategies, psychotherapy approaches, and light therapy, also modulate these processes through HPA axis regulation. Currently, the specific mechanisms by which circadian rhythm regulates BDNF levels, T cell subsets, and inflammatory signals—thereby influencing both pathogenesis and treatment outcomes for oral diseases—remain unclear. Future research should focus on elucidating these molecular mechanisms as well as identifying therapeutic targets related to circadian rhythm within the oral health context. Further, multidisciplinary collaboration encompassing pharmacy, sleep behavior studies, and psychology will be instrumental in advancing prevention strategies and treatments for oral diseases.

Obstructive sleep apnea(OSA)is a common sleep disorder characterized by repeated episodes of upper airway collapse and obstruction during sleep.Polysomnography is the gold standard for diagnosing OSA,but it is expensive,time-consuming,and can cause discomfort for patients.In recent years,acoustic-based approaches for detecting OSA have emerged as a research focus.This review summarizes recent advances in OSA automatic detection techniques based on snoring and speech signals,and systematically examines their applications in diagnosis,severity assessment,and localization of obstruction sites.Findings indicate that the acoustic features of snoring and speech signals hold significant value for OSA screening,and when combined with machine learning and deep learning models,it can achieve high diagnostic accuracy.Future research should focus on elucidating the relationship between acoustic features and the pathophysiological mechanisms of OSA,integrating multimodal information,and advancing the clinical application of wearable devices,with the aim of promoting intelligent,non-invasive,and cost-effective screening technologies for OSA.

In this article, we reviewed and reported the diagnosis and treatment of a pregnant woman with spontaneous ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (sOHSS) after artificial cycle frozen-thawed embryo transfer. The patient had twins after artificial cycle frozen-thawed single embryo transfer. In the second trimester pregnancy, the patient had sOHSS and was firstly received ovarian cyst puncture and aspiration to reduce abdominal distension significantly, then she continued the pregnancy and delivered 2 girls successfully. The sOHSS is a rare disease, so the early diagnose and appropriate treatment should be taken to alleviate the symptoms and improve patients prognosis.

Adenosine triphosphate(ATP),as a rich energy currency in cells,is released into the extracellular space through a variety of regulatory mechanisms.The role of extracellular ATP(eATP)and related purine and pyrimidine nucleotides as extracellu-lar signal molecules regulating immune cell function has been reported as evidence of purine signal transduction and has become the focus of attention as a therapeutic target for various diseases.Mast cells(MC)are distributed in tissues that come into contact with the external environment and are the first immune cells to respond to non-microbial environmental antigens.Although eATP is considered to be an activator of MC,the details remain to be further elucidated.This article describes the role of purine receptor signaling in MC degranulation.It expands the further understanding of the mechanism of allergic diseases,and further provides ideas for finding new targets for the treatment of allergic diseases and formulating new treatment strategies.

Objective:To investigate the effect of ultrasound-guided lower transverse abdominal muscle plane (TAP) block combined with esketamine intravenous controlled analgesia on postoperative patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) .Methods:A total of 120 CRC patients admitted to Linyi Central Hospital from Aug. 2022 to Aug. 2024 were selected and divided into control group and observation group according to random number table method, with 60 cases in each group. The control group received esketamine intravenous controlled analgesia, and the observation group was combined with TAP under ultrasound guidance on the basis of the control group. The postoperative recovery, pain numerical score (NRS), heart rate and mean arterial pressure of 1h, 8h and 48h were compared between the two groups. The levels of serum interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), interleukin-1 β (IL-1 β) and adverse reactions were compared before anesthesia (T0), 24h (T1) and 48h (T2) after surgery. Results:The feeding time and the first exhaust time in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group ( P<0.05). The NRS scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group at 1h, 8h and 48h after operation ( P<0.05). The heart rate and mean arterial pressure of both groups increased at 8h and 48h after surgery, and the observation group was lower than the control group ( P<0.05). Serum IL-6, IL-10 and IL-1 β in both groups were higher than those in T0 at T1 and T2, and IL-6 and IL-1 β in observation group were lower than those in control group, and IL-10 was higher than those in control group ( P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in observation group was lower than that in control group ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:Ultrasound-guided TAP combined with esketamine intravenous controlled analgesia can effectively accelerate the postoperative recovery of CRC patients, reduce the level of pain, and alleviate the inflammatory response of the body, with high safety.

ObjectiveTo analyze the suicidal behavior in hospitalized patients with major depression and its influencing factors. MethodsA total of 1 000 patients with major depression admitted to our hospital from January 2017 to July 2021 were selected as the research subjects to investigate the status quo of suicidal behavior of the enrolled patients. According to the survey results， the patients were divided into suicidal behavior group and non-suicidal behavior group， and the related factors affecting their suicidal behavior. ResultsA total of 511 cases （51.10%） of the patients with major depression committed suicide in hospital， including 271 cases （27.10%） of suicidal ideation， 186 cases （18.60%） of attempted suicide， and 54 cases （5.40%） of suicide death. 489 patients （48.90%） did not commit suicide. Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in age， gender， marital status， loss of interest or pleasure， anxiety， sense of worthlessness or self-guilt， sleep status， personality， depressive episodes and paranoia between the suicidal behavior group and the non-suicidal behavior group （all P<0.05）. Logistic multifactorial regression analysis showed that age ≤28 years （OR=1.54）， female （OR=1.93）， anxiety （OR=1.61）， sense of worthlessness or self-guilt （OR=1.85） and paranoia （OR=2.15） were all independent predictors of suicidal behavior in the patients with major depression. ConclusionThe incidence of nosocomial suicide in patients with major depression is high. Early onset age， female， anxiety， sense of worthlessness or self-guilt， more depressive episodes and paranoia are independent risk predictors of suicide in patients with major depression. This finding can be used for clinical intervention to reduce the occurrence of suicide in patients.
