To summarise the clinical experience of treating insomnia with the method of resolving depression， regulating the middle， and tranquilising mind. It is believed that the key to the pathogenesis of insomnia lies in qi depression， disharmony of qi pivot， and disharmony of qi and blood， and the core treatment is to resolve depression， regulating the middle， and tranquilising mind. The self-prescribed Jieyu Anmian Formula （解郁安眠方） could be used as the basic treatment， then modified according to the performance of the patient and syndromes. For syndrome of liver depression restricting spleen， the treatment should soothe liver and invigorate spleen， resolve depression and regulate the middle； for syndrome of liver depression and phlegm coagulation， the treatment should resolve depression and phlegm， support the earth and free the wood； for syndrome of liver depression transforming into fire， the treatment should soothe liver and clear fire， resolve depression and dysphoria； for syndrome of qi stagnation and blood stasis， the treatment should activate blood and regulate the middle， resolve depression and tranquilise mind.

Background Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is a major contributor to the global burden of cardiovascular diseases. However, evidence from meta-analyses on the association between ambient ozone exposure and ASCVD risk remains relatively insufficient. Objective To explore the epidemiological association between ambient ozone exposure and ASCVD, providing scientific evidence for ASCVD prevention and control from the perspective of environmental risk factor management. Methods We systematically searched PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang Database, CBM, and VIP for published epidemiological studies on the relationship between ambient ozone exposure and ASCVD from January 2007 to December 2023. We performed quality assessment and data extraction of the included studies, and utilized meta-analysis to evaluate the effects of short-term and long-term ozone exposure on different ASCVD outcomes, including mortality and incidence of ischemic heart disease (IHD) and ischemic stroke (IS). Results A total of 24 studies were included based on a set of predetermined eligibility criteria. The meta-analysis results indicated that short-term ozone exposure was associated with an increased risk of ASCVD mortality and incidence. Specifically, short-term ozone exposure was significantly associated with an elevated risk of IHD mortality (combined RR=1.011, 95%CI: 1.008, 1.015; P < 0.05). Additionally, short-term ozone exposure was significantly linked to increased IS mortality (combined RR=1.005, 95%CI: 1.003, 1.008; P < 0.05) and incidence (combined RR=1.015, 95%CI: 1.003, 1.027; P < 0.05). Conclusion Short-term exposure to ambient ozone significantly elevates acute cardiovascular disease risk. However, the epidemiological association between long-term ozone exposure and ASCVD remains inconclusive. Future high-quality cohort studies with refined exposure assessment methods are warranted to elucidate the chronic cardiovascular effects of ozone exposure.

Objective:To explore the association between the variability of triglyceride glucose index (TyG) and the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods:This study was a retrospective cohort study. A total of 22 929 community-dwelling elderly (aged≥60 years) who received annual health check-ups in Kunshan city of Suzhou Municipality during 2014 to 2021 were enrolled in the study. Fasting triglycerides and blood glucose were measured during annual physical check-ups and the TyG was calculated, the standard deviation of TyG measurements in three consecutive physical check-ups was used as the indicatior of TyG long-term variability. According to the quartile of TyG long-term variability, the study subjects were divided into four groups, namely Q 1 (0-0.14), Q 2 (>0.14-0.22), Q 3 (>0.22-0.33), Q 4 (>0.33-1.90). The outcome variable was the occurrence of T2DM. The relationship between TyG variability and T2DM incidence was analyzed by multivariate Cox regression. Results:In the study cohort 11 518 (50.2%) were females and the mean age was (67.42±5.35) years. By the end of follow-up, 2 934 cases of new T2DM were diagnosed, with an oveall incidence rate of 12.8%. After adjusting for multiple confounders and average TyG, long-term variability of TyG was significantly associated with T2DM risk ( HR=1.83, 95% CI: 1.51-2.20). The risk of T2DM in Q 4 group was significantly higher than that in Q 1 group ( HR=1.33, 95% CI: 1.19-1.47). Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that long-term variability of TyG was significantly correlated with the cumulative risk of T2DM incidence ( P<0.001). Conclusions:TyG variability is an independent risk factor for T2DM, suggesting that attention should be paid not only to specific time-point TyG levels but also to TyG fluctuation for early identification of T2DM risk.

Objective:To explore the relationship between hemoglobin variability (Hb-var) and risk of all-cause death and cardiovascular death in patients with peritoneal dialysis (PD), and to provide basis for reducing the risk of death in PD patients.Methods:It was a multicenter retrospective cohort study. The clinical data of regular PD patients from Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University, Shunde Hospital of Southern Medical University, Foshan First People's Hospital and Ganzhou People's Hospital from July 1, 2008 to December 31, 2019 were collected. Hb-var was calculated based on hemoglobin at baseline before PD and in the first year after PD. The patients were divided into low Hb-var group, moderate Hb-var group and high Hb-var group according to the tertiles of first year Hb-var, and the differences of baseline clinical data among three groups were compared. Follow-up endpoints included death, transfer to hemodialysis, transfer to kidney transplantation, transfer to other centers, loss of follow-up, or on December 31, 2021. Cox regression analysis model was used to analyze the association of the first-year Hb-var with all-cause death and cardiovascular death. Fine-Gray competitive risk regression model was used to evaluate the impact of competitive events on mortality risk.Results:A total of 1 562 patients with PD were included in the study, aged (47.6±13.8) years old, with 821 males (52.6%) and baseline hemoglobin of 81 (69, 94) g/L. Hb-var in the first year of PD was 26.6 (16.7, 40.3) g/L. There were statistically significant differences in age, body mass index, serum albumin, hemoglobin, serum creatinine, serum calcium, serum phosphorus, intact parathyroid hormone and the proportion of renin-angiotensin system inhibitors among low Hb-var group (<20.0 g/L), moderate Hb-var group (20.0-35.5 g/L) and high Hb-var group (≥35.5 g/L, all P<0.05). The follow-up time was 33 (19, 51) months, and 208 patients (13.3%) died, among which 111 patients (53.4%) died of cardiovascular death. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the higher Hb-var in the first year, the lower the risk of all-cause death ( HR=0.98, 95% CI 0.97-0.99, P=0.018) and cardiovascular death ( HR=0.98, 95% CI 0.97-0.99, P=0.041) in PD patients. Compared with low Hb-var group, the risk of all-cause death ( HR=0.56, 95% CI 0.37-0.82, P=0.003) and cardiovascular death ( HR=0.54, 95% CI 0.31-0.95, P=0.032) was lowest in the high Hb-var group. The competitive risk regression model analysis showed that Hb-var in the first year was still negatively correlated with the risk of all-cause death ( HR=0.98, 95% CI 0.97-0.99, P=0.041) and cardiovascular death ( HR=0.98, 95% CI 0.97-0.99, P=0.039). Conclusion:High Hb-var in the first year is associated with low risk of all-cause death and cardiovascular death in PD patients with severe anemia at baseline.

Objective:To accurately ascertain the whole genome sequencing and the composition of open reading frames (ORFs) of non-replicating Tiantan strain of vaccinia virus (NTV) using next-generation long-read sequencing technology.Methods:NTV, obtained from our laboratory stock, was amplified and purified on chicken embryo fibroblast cells(CEFs), and the full-length genomic nucleic acid of NTV was extracted. The PacBio HiFi sequencing platform was utilized for de novo assembly to obtain the complete genomic sequence of NTV. Using a homology annotation strategy, we identified its ORF composition and compared it with known non-replicating vaccinia virus strains. Results:The total length of NTV′s genome was 171 729 bp, with a GC content of 33%. Its unique inverted terminal repeat (ITR) region comprised hairpin structures, two tandem repeat regions, and three non-repeat regions. NTV contained 166 ORFs, with major differences observed in the ITR and its surrounding regions when compared to MVA-BN and NYVAC. These three strains shared a common set of 138 ORFs. NTV encoded six unique ORFs related to virus evasion of host antiviral response.Conclusions:This study accurately determines the whole genome sequencing and ORFs composition of NTV, and reveals its similarities and differences with other replication-deficient vaccinia virus strains, which pave a way for the development and application of the next generation of monkeypox vaccines and novel viral vectors.

This study included 20 patients with hematological diseases who developed Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) after receiving allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) from April 2014 to October 2022 at Peking University People’s Hospital. The 20 patients comprised 13 males (65.0% ) and seven females (35.0% ), with a median age of 34 (19-60) years. Eleven cases (55.0% ) of acute myeloid leukemia, four cases (20.0% ) of acute lymphocytic leukemia, two cases (10.0% ) of myelodysplastic syndrome, one case (5.0% ) of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, one case (5.0% ) of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and one case (5.0% ) of aplastic anemia were analyzed. Three cases (15.0% ) of HLA-identical sibling hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, three cases (15.0% ) of matched unrelated donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and 14 cases (70.0% ) of haploid hematopoietic stem cell transplantation were identified. The median onset time of PJP was 353 (74-1121) days after transplantation. The clinical symptoms mainly included fever, cough, expectoration, and dyspnea. All patients presented signs of infection based on the CT scan, including bilateral diffuse ground-glass opacities, patchy shadows, and solid nodules. Nine patients (45.0% ) required respiratory support via nasal catheter oxygen inhalation, while seven patients (35.0% ) required ventilator-assisted breathing. Seven (35.0% ) severe infections and 13 (65.0% ) mild to moderate infections were recorded. Moreover, eight patients (40.0% ) were complicated with human cytomegalovirus infection, whereas two patients were complicated with EB virus infection. Furthermore, all 20 patients received treatment with compound sulfamethoxazole (standard dose, 11 cases; low dose, 9 cases). Furthermore, 19 patients survived and one patient died.

Objective The purpose of this study is to investigate patients'willingness to pay for pharmacy services and its influencing factors by reviewing and analyzing the literature related to pharmacy services.Methods Relevant studies were identified by searching the CNKI database,Wanfang database,Sinomed,PubMed,and Web of Science from January 2010 to December 2023.Literature in both English and Chinese that elicited patient willingness to pay for pharmacy services was included.An analysis was carried out according to the year of publication,country,methodology,patient willingness to pay,and its influencing factors.Results 24 studies were retrieved,and the average willingness to pay ranged from ＄1 to ＄20.Patient willingness to pay for pharmacy services is influenced by various factors.Higher willingness to pay for pharmacy services is associated with higher income and education levels and lower out-of-pocket spending.Conclusions It is generally found that patients'willingness to pay is generally influenced by their income level,educational background,and medical insurance.We suggest that pharmacy services should be promoted and integrated into medical insurance coverage,and pharmacists'competency should be enhanced to accelerate the high-quality development of pharmacy services.

Objective To explore the value of dual-phase enhanced CT radiomics in predicting post-acute pancreatitis diabetes mellitus(PPDM-A).Methods A total of 145 patients with acute pancreatitis(AP)were retrospectively collected,including 62 patients in PPDM-A group and 83 patients in non-PPDM-A group.The patients were randomly divided into training set and test set at a ratio of 7︰3,the pancreatic parenchyma in arterial phase and venous phase was delineated and the radiomics features were extracted.Vari-ance threshold method,univariate selection method and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)were used to screen radiomics features.The prediction performance of the model was evaluated by the area under the curve(AUC).The DeLong test was used to compare the prediction efficiency between the models,and the calibration curve and decision curve were used to evaluate the prediction efficiency of the model.Results The AUC of arterial phase model,venous phase model,combined arterial venous phase model,clinical model and radiomics combined clinical model in the training set were 0.845,0.792,0.829,0.656 and 0.862,respec-tively.The DeLong test results showed that only the difference between the radiomics combined clinical model and the clinical model in the training set and the test set was statistically significant(P<0.05).The decision curve showed that the radiomics combined clinical model had high clinical practicability in a certain range,and the calibration curve showed that the radiomics combined clinical model had the best fitting degree with the actual observation value.Conclusion Based on the dual-phase enhanced CT radiomics combined clinical model,PPDM-A can be predicted more accurately,and it can provide a certain reference value for the clinical development of per-sonalized treatment programs.
