In recent years， repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation （rTMS） has garnered significant attention as a therapeutic approach for sleep disorders in the elderly. However， the prevailing rTMS protocols are predominantly developed based on normative neurophysiological data derived from young adults and fail to incorporate individualized parameters tailored to the brain characteristics of the elderly. To address this gap， the consensus development group synthesized the latest evidence from 2010 to 2025 and established a standardized rTMS protocol specifically for elderly patients with sleep disorders. Adhering to the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II （AGREE II） framework， systematically screened randomized controlled trials （RCTs） and systematic reviews regarding rTMS in the treatment of sleep disorders across various conditions. Meanwhile， the Grading of Recommendations Assessment， Development and Evaluation （GRADE） system was employed to rigorously grade the quality of evidence and the strength of recommendations. This consensus guideline delineates precise rTMS protocols for the management of sleep disorders in the elderly， highlights the adjustment of stimulation intensity according to scalp-cortex distance recommends either MRI‑guided neuronavigation or the Beam F3/F4 heuristic approach for accurate target localization， thereby providing precise rTMS intervention protocol for sleep disorders in the elderly， aiming to enhance clinical efficacy while ensuring treatment safety. ［Funded by National Key Research and Development Program （number， 2023YFC3603200）； General Program of Shenzhen Science and Technology Innovation Commission （number， JCYJ20240813112859008， JCYJ20240813112900002）； Youth Program of Shenzhen Kangning Hospital （number， KN2023A004）； www.guidelines-registry.cn number， PREPARE-2026CN530］

Objective: To conduct screening for rare blood types within important blood group systems for the Chinese population, such as Rh, Duffy, Kidd, P1Pk, Diego, and MNS, in the Guangzhou region, and to establish a corresponding rare blood type database and physical repository. Methods: The saline medium microplate method was used to screen blood donors with the ccDEE phenotype combined with either Jk(a-) or Jk(b-). The polybrene microplate method was employed to screen for donors with Fy(a-), s(-), Lu(b-), Di(b-), k(-), and p phenotypes. The urea lysis microplate method was applied to screen for the Jk(a-b-) phenotype. A high-resolution melting (HRM) curve method was established for screening some donors with the Di(b-) phenotype. Subsequently, expanded phenotyping of antigens in the Rh, Kidd, MNS, Duffy, P1Pk, Lewis, Kell, and Lutheran blood group systems was performed on identified rare blood type donors using monoclonal antibodies. The test results are entered into the Rare Blood Type Bank Management System of the Guangzhou Blood Center, enabling functions such as confirmation reminders and cryopreservation storage when the donor donates again. Red blood cells of rare blood types are processed into frozen red blood cells for long-term storage. Results: Among voluntary blood donors, 16 cases of the ccDEE combined with Jk(a-) phenotype were identified (0.221 7%, 16/7 216); 10 cases of the ccDEE combined with Jk(b-) phenotype (0.138 6%, 10/7 216); 78 cases of the Fy(a-) phenotype (0.169 5%, 78/46 012); 39 cases of the Lu(b-) phenotype (0.138 2%, 39/28 214); 31 cases of the s(-) phenotype (0.081 8%, 31/37 913); 22 cases of the Di(b-) phenotype (0.029 9%, 22/73 691); 30 cases of the Jk(a-b-) phenotype (0.010 1%, 30/298 250); and 1 case of the k(-) phenotype (0.001 3%, 1/77 382), which was further identified as KELnull phenotype (K0). No p phenotype donors were identified (0/88 528). A total of 228 units of frozen red blood cells were prepared. The screening results were compared and analyzed with rare blood type data from other regions. Conclusion: This study, through a combination of different screening methods, significantly improved the efficiency of rare blood type screening while remaining cost-effective. By conducting large-scale screening and performing data informatization processing, a database and physical repository of rare blood types in the Guangzhou region were successfully established. This provides a strong guarantee for the timely supply of blood to patients with difficult-to-match and rare blood types in the region, effectively enhances the level of transfusion safety in the region, and offers a practical paradigm for constructing a comprehensive blood transfusion support system.

Aim To explore the role and mechanism of epimedokoreanin B(EKB)in HepaRG cell pyroptosis through endoplasmic reticulum stress and NLRP1-me-diated pyroptosis pathway.Methods The effect of EKB on the viability of HepaRG cells at different con-centrations was determined by MTT assay,and the cell growth status was recorded by Incucyte.Four groups of HepaRG cells were set up.The control group was cul-tured with complete medium for 24 h;the drug admin-istration group was cultured with three concentration gradients of 6.25,12.5 and 25 μmol·L-1 of EKB for 24 h.Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins and pyroptosis-related proteins in the cells of each group.Results HepaRG cells showed cytotoxicity at a concentration of 6.25 μmol·L-1 for 24 h,and the half maximal inhibitory concentration(IC50)was 12.41 μmol·L-1.Incucyte recordings of the cell growth status showed that the cells in the control group were in good growth status,and the vesicular pyropto-sis cells appeared in the different concentrations of EKB and the cells swelled and ruptured after 24 h.Western blot showed that the protein expression levels of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins pERK,eIF-2α,ATF-4,GRP78,and CHOP significantly in-creased in HepaRG cells at 25 μmol·L-1 of EKB compared with the control group.The proteins of the classical pathway of cellular pyroptosis mediated by NLRP1,caspase-1,cleaved caspase-1,GSDMD,GS-DMD-N significantly increased in HepaRG cells.Con-clusion EKB administration induces HepaRG cell py-roptosis,and EKB activates HepaRG cells to undergo endoplasmic reticulum stress and activates the NLRP1/caspase-1/GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis pathway.

Objective:The clinical effect of astragalus membranaceus and mifepristone on endometriosis and its effects on patiens' immune function and inflammatory factors were analyzed.Methods:A total of 86 patients with cold-coagulation and blood-stasis endometriosis treated in Henan Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese from October 2021 to October 2022 were selected and divided into mifepristone group(41 cases)and astragalus and mifepristone combination group(45 cases)by random number table method.Evaluated the TCM syndrome score level of patients before and after treatment;detection of luteinizing hormone(LH),follicle-stimu-lating hormone(FSH),estradiol(E2),anti-mullerian hormon(AMH),hypersensitive C-reactive egg(hs-CRP),IL-6,IL-8,TNF-α,CD4+T,CD8+T,CD4+T/CD8+T and the number of Antral Follicle Coun(AFC)were compared between the two groups.Results:After treatment,the levels of abdominal pain,dysphoria,cold shape and limb cold score,LH,FSH,E2,hs-CRP,IL-6,IL-8,TNF-α,CD8+T and AMH in combination group were lower than those in mifepristone group(P<0.05).CD4+T,CD4+T/CD8T+and AFC were higher than those in mifepristone group(P<0.05).The total effective rate of the combination group after treatment was higher than that of the mifepristone group(P<0.05).Conclusion:By combining astragalus and mifepristone,the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores of patients with cold coagulation and blood stasis type endometriosis are reduced,sexual hormones and ovarian function are improved,inflammatory reactions are alleviated,and the clinical treatment effect is remarkable.

Objective:To investigate the protective effect of moxibustion on joints and its influence on the expression levels of S100 calcium binding protein A8(S100A8),S100 calcium binding protein A9(S100A9),serum amyloid A1(SAA1),and related inflammatory factors in rats with adjuvant arthritis(AA).Methods:Forty Wistar rats were randomly divided into a normal group,a model group,a moxibustion group,and a medication group,with 10 rats in each group.Except for the normal group,AA models were established in the other three groups by exposing rats to wind-cold-dampness environmental conditions combined with complete Freund's adjuvant.After successful modeling,the moxibustion group received moxibustion intervention,while the medication group was administered tripterygium glycosides tablets via oral gavage.The normal and model groups underwent similar handling and fixation without additional interventions.After 15 d of intervention,hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to assess pathological changes in the knee joint synovial membrane.Western blotting was performed to detect the protein expression of S100A8,S100A9,and SAA1 in the synovial tissue.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure the serum levels of interferon(IFN)-γ,interleukin(IL)-6,and IL-23.Results:Compared to the normal group,the model group exhibited significantly increased protein expression of S100A8,S100A9,and SAA1 in the knee joint synovial tissue,as well as elevated serum levels of IFN-γ,IL-6,and IL-23(P<0.01).Histopathological analysis revealed marked synovial hyperplasia and extensive infiltration of inflammatory cells in the model group.Compared to the model group,both the moxibustion and medication groups showed significant reductions in the protein expression of S100A8,S100A9,and SAA1 in the synovial tissue,as well as decreased serum levels of IFN-γ,IL-6,and IL-23(P<0.01).Additionally,synovial tissue in these two groups displayed minimal hyperplasia and only mild inflammatory cell infiltration.Notably,compared to the moxibustion group,the medication group exhibited significantly higher protein expression of S100A9 in the synovial tissue(P<0.05),while no significant differences were observed in the expression of S100A8,SAA1,or serum levels of IFN-γ,IL-6,and IL-23(P>0.05).Both intervention groups showed comparable degrees of synovial inflammation,clear tissue structure,and no obvious hyperplasia.Conclusion:Moxibustion can alleviate joint swelling and reduce inflammatory responses in AA rats.Its mechanism may involve regulating the protein expression of S100A8,S100A9,and SAA1 in the knee joint synovial tissue.

Objective To establish a liver disease refined management platform encompassing hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)screening for high-risk populations,longitudinal patient follow-up management,multidisciplinary team(MDT)consulta-tions for complex cases,and intelligent data analysis.This platform aims to achieve early detection and standardized management of individuals at risk of HCC,thereby improving the rates of curative treatment and patient survival.Methods Standardized data interfaces were utilized to integrate diverse medical data,including electronic health records,laboratory test results,and imaging reports.Multiple HCC risk assessment models were applied to assist clinicians in patient risk stratification and diagnosis.For un-diagnosed patients,personalized follow-up programs were implemented according to their risk categories.Clinical information of patients requiring MDT discussions was systematically collated to support comprehensive case evaluations.Results After the platform's introduction,a total of 6 187 patients were enrolled,accounting for 23.2％of outpatient attendees.The number of MDT discussions reached 351,representing a 46.3％year-on-year increase.The outcomes demonstrated significant improvements in the quality of liver disease management and diagnostic processes.Conclusion The platform can effectively achieve precise stratification of HCC risk groups,providing significant support for the early detection,diagnosis,and treatment of high-risk indi-viduals.Additionally,it offers a digital solution for facilitating the full-cycle precision management of liver disease patients,from screening to diagnosis treatment and follow-up.

The purpose of this survey was to understand the occurrence of hypocalcemia in dairy cows in large-scale pasture and its relationship with production performance,disease and culling.Eighty-one large-scale pastures were selected in China to carry out a questionnaire survey on the lactation performance,reproductive performance,disease status and culling situations of dairy cows,and analyzed the production data of dairy farms by SPSS software.The survey results show that the incidence of hypocalcemia in dairy cows in pasture was different,the subclinical type was nearly twice as high as the clinical type,and the incidence rate of hypocalcemia was higher in about 30％of pasture.Hypocalcemia has no obvious effect on the lactation performance of dairy cows on dairy farms.However,a high incidence rate can reduce the conception rate,increase the incidence of subclinical mastitis,ketosis,and other common internal diseases,and raise the annual culling rate and culling rate of adult cows.Clinical,subclinical and total incidence of hypocalcemia have differ-ent effects on reproduction and diseases such as mastitis and ketosis,but clinical hypocalcemia is more harmful.Hypocalcemia is still an important metabolic disease that harms the health and pro-duction of dairy cows in large-scale pastures in China.For farms with a high incidence rate,it is recommended to conduct regular monitoring of blood calcium levels in dairy cows before and after calving,and to conduct in-depth investigations into the related pathogenic factors.This will provide a scientific basis for improving the prevention measures for hypocalcemia,reducing the incidence of the disease,increasing reproductive efficiency,and reducing culling rates.

Objective To investigate the electroencephalography(EEG)signal characteristics in patients with neuropathic pain(NP)associated with spinal cord injury(SCI).Methods A total of 90 patients with SCI from January,2018 to November,2023 were selected from the EEG database of the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine,Xijing Hospital,and divided into NP group(n=46)and non-NP group(n=44)according to their symptoms.The resting-state EEG power and reactivity to eye-opening were compared between two groups.Results Compared with non-NP group,EEG power increased in frontal lobe in α and β1 bands,central lobe in δ,θ,α1 and β1 bands,parietal lobe in α and β1 bands,temporal lobe in α and β1 bands,left occipital lobe in α2 band,and occipital lobe in α1 and β1 bands(|Z|>1.998,P<0.05)in NP group during eye-opening;during eye-closing,EEG power increased in prefrontal lobe in α1 and β1 bands,right frontal lobe in θ band,frontal lobe in α and β1 bands,left frontal lobe in β2 band,central lobe in δ,α1 and β1 bands,parietal lobe in α1 and β1 bands,left pari-etal lobe in α2 and β2 bands,right temporal lobe in θ band,temporal lobe in α and β bands,occipital lobe in α1 and β1 bands,and left occipital lobe in β2 band(|Z|>1.970,P<0.05);while the reactivity to eye-opening de-creased in right prefrontal lobe in β1 band,frontal lobe in θ,α and β bands,right central lobe in β1 band,parietal lobe in α1 and β1 bands,right parietal lobe in β2 band,right temporal lobe in δ and θ band,temporal lobe in α1 and β bands,left occipital lobe in α1 band,and occipital lobe in β1(|Z|>1.967,P<0.05).Conclusion Resting-state EEG power characteristically elevates in NP patients after SCI,and the reactivity to eye-open-ing reduces.

Objective To compare the clinical outcomes of modified posterolateral approach and traditional posterolateral approach combined with open reduction and internal fixation via medial approach in treatment of trimalleolar fracture.Methods Sixty-two patients with trimalleolar fractures who underwent modified posterolateral approach combined with open reduction and internal fixation via medial approach from January 2019 to June 2022 in orthopedics department of our hospital were enrolled in the modified approach group,and 62 patients who underwent traditional posterolateral approach combined with open reduction and internal fixation via medial approach at the same period were matched as the traditional approach group.The perioperative indicators were collected.The range of ankle motion 12 months after surgery was measured.The Maryland score,American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society(AOFAS)score and Baird-Jackson score were employed to evaluate the recovery of patients 12 months after surgery,and the occurence of complications was recorded.Results There was no significant difference in the operation time,intraoperative blood loss,incision length,postoperative drainage volume or pain score between the two groups(P<0.05).The Maryland scores,AOFAS scores and Baird-Jackson scores 12 months after surgery of the two groups were higher than those before operation(P<0.05),while there was no significant difference between the two groups(P<0.05).The range of ankle motion in the modified approach group was better than that in the traditional approach group,and the incidence of nerve injury after surgery was lower than that in the traditional approach group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusions The modified posterolateral approach combined with open reduction and internal fixation via medial approach in treatment of trimalleolar fracture can achieve good early clinical outcome,effectively improve range of ankle motion,and reduce postoperative nerve injury.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of fosaprepitant in preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) following gynecological laparoscopic surgery.Methods:In this randomized parallel-controlled trial, 100 American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients, aged 18-64 yr, undergoing elective gynecological laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, were selected and divided into 2 groups ( n=50 each) in a ratio of 1∶1 using blocked randomization: fosaprepitant group (group F) and tropisetron group (group T). At 30 min before anesthesia induction, fosaprepitant 150 mg was intravenously infused in group F, and tropisetron 5 mg was intravenously infused in group T, both diluted in 150 ml of normal saline. Anesthesia was induced by intravenous injection of midazolam, etomidate, sufentanil and cisatracurium. Anesthesia was maintained by intravenous infusion of remifentanil and propofol. Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia was performed with hydromorphone at the end of operation until 48 h after operation. Metoclopramide was given as rescue antiemetic. The PONV, requirement for antiemetic drugs and related adverse reactions were recorded within 24 h after surgery. Results:The incidence of PONV (10% vs 30%), the incidence of vomiting(2% vs 16%) and the rescue rate of antiemetic drugs(2% vs 12%)were significantly lower in group F than in group T ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of related adverse reactions between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Intravenous infusion of fosaprepitant 150 mg at 30 min before anesthesia induction effectively prevents PONV in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery, and the efficacy is superior to that of the conventional use of tropisetron.
