Post-orgasmic illness syndrome (POIS) is a rare condition characterized by the rapid onset of extreme fatigue, flu-like symptoms, difficulty concentrating, depression, nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, itchy eyes, and other physical and psychological discomforts following ejaculation. This report presents the outcomes of two patients with POIS who underwent a two-year course of autologous seminal plasma subcutaneous cluster immunotherapy. Treatment efficacy was assessed using methods such as the symptom Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the Union Physio-Psycho-Social Assessment Questionnaire (UPPSAQ)-70, and the Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36). The results suggest that autologous seminal plasma subcutaneous cluster immunother-apy may be a safe and effective therapeutic approach for POIS.

Objective:To investigate the sleep characteristics and clinical features of patients with vestibular migraine（VM）, and to explore the influencing factors of sleep disorder in VM patients. Methods:A cross-sectional study method was adopted to collect VM patients from Otolaryngology department and neurology department of our hospital from June 2022 to June 2024（divided into sleep disorder group and non-sleep disorder group according to whether there is sleep disorder） as the experimental group, and recruit non-VM volunteers with clinical characteristics matching with the experimental group during the same period as the control group. The clinical data of the subjects were collected, and the sleep quality of the subjects was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index（PSQI）. The influencing factors of sleep disorders in VM patients were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression, and the correlation between sleep disorders and clinical features such as headache, vertigo and hearing in VM patients was analyzed by Spearman correlation coefficient. Results:A total of 530 individuals with VM were analyzed, including 332 with sleep disturbances（62.64%）, 198 without sleep issues（37.36%）, and 50 in the control group. The overall PSQI score and all its components were significantly higher in the VM group compared with the control group（P<0.05）. A positive correlation was observed between PSQI and VAS, DHI-T, DHI-E, DHI-F and DHI-P（r=0.797, P<0.05; r=0.834, P<0.05; r=0.794, P<0.05; r=0.771, P<0.05; r=0.877, P<0.05）, PSQI had no correlation with pure tone hearing（r=0.324, P=0.167）. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that female, age ≥60 years, living alone, duration of disease ≥3 months, motion sickness history, and HADS-A were independent influencing factors for comorbidification of sleep disorder in VM patients（P<0.05）. Conclusion:The prevalence of sleep disorders in patients with vestibular migraine（VM） was significantly higher compared to the control group. Moreover, the severity of sleep disorders was positively correlated with the intensity of headache and vertigo in VM patients. It is recommended that female VM patients aged 60 years or older, living alone, with a disease duration of three months or longer, a history of motion sickness, and anxiety symptoms undergo sleep assessments to determine the presence of sleep disorders. This approach provides a theoretical foundation for precise treatment and prevention strategies for VM.

Allergen-specific immunotherapy（AIT） remains the only therapeutic approach with the potential to modify the natural course of allergic rhinitis（AR）. Nevertheless, considerable inter-individual variability exists in patients'responses to AIT. To facilitate more reliable assessment of treatment efficacy, the China Rhinopathy Research Cooperation Group（CRRCG） convened young and middle-aged nasal experts in China to formulate the present consensus. The recommended subjective outcome measures for AIT comprise symptom scores, medication scores, combined symptom and medication scores, quality-of-life assessments, evaluation of disease control, and assessment of comorbidities. Objective indicators may supplement these measures. Currently available objective approaches include skin prick testing, nasal provocation testing, and allergen exposure chambers. However, these methods remain constrained by practical limitations and are not yet appropriate for routine implementation in clinical efficacy evaluation. In addition, several biomarkers, including sIgE and the sIgE/tIgE ratio, sIgG4, serum IgE-blocking activity, IgA, cytokines and chemokines, as well as immune cell surface molecules and their functional activity, have been shown to have associations with AIT outcomes. While these biomarkers may complement subjective assessments, they are subject to significant limitations. Consequently, large-scale multicenter trials and real-world evidence are required to strengthen the evidence base. The present consensus underscores the necessity of integrating patients'subjective experiences with objective testing throughout the treatment process, thereby providing a more comprehensive and accurate framework for efficacy evaluation. Looking forward, future investigations should prioritize the incorporation of multi-omics data and artificial intelligence methodologies, which hold promise for overcoming current limitations in assessment strategies and for advancing both the standardization and personalization of AIT.

The ventral anterior (VA) nucleus of the thalamus is a major target of the basal ganglia and is closely associated with the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Notably, the VA receives direct innervation from the hypothalamic histaminergic system. However, its role in PD remains unknown. Here, we assessed the contribution of histamine to VA neuronal activity and PD motor deficits. Functional magnetic resonance imaging showed reduced VA activity in PD patients. Optogenetic activation of VA neurons or histaminergic afferents significantly alleviated motor deficits in 6-OHDA-induced PD rats. Furthermore, histamine excited VA neurons via H1 and H2 receptors and their coupled hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channels, inward-rectifier K⁺ channels, or Ca²⁺-activated K⁺ channels. These results demonstrate that histaminergic afferents actively compensate for Parkinsonian motor deficits by biasing VA activity. These findings suggest that targeting VA histamine receptors and downstream ion channels may be a potential therapeutic strategy for PD motor dysfunction.

CD200 and its receptor CD200R constitute an endogenous inhibitory signal. The binding of CD200 and CD200R can regulate the immune response to pathogenic stimuli, which has received much attention in recent years. It has been found that CD200-CD200R is involved in the regulation of many kinds of pathological inflammation, including autoimmune diseases, cardiac cerebrovascular disease, infection and tumor. This paper reviews the protein structure, distribution, expression, biological function of CD200-CD200R and the correlation with diseases, and analyses the current status and development ideas of CD200-CD200R as drug targets. It aims to provide theoretical support for new drug research and development based on this target.

Objective To explore the eye behaviors and myopia-related risk factors among primary and secondary school students in Tianjin,in order to carry out targeted eye health education and guidance.Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted.In December 2021,an eye health questionnaire was distributed to primary and secondary school students in Tianjin to investigate their eye habits;combined with the campus vision screening data in the second half of 2021,a multivariate logistic regression analysis model was constructed to explore the risk factors related to myopia.Re-sults A total of 821 459 questionnaires were collected,including 701 104 valid questionnaires.The usage time of electron-ic learning products and electronic entertainment products for primary school students was mostly less than 1 hour(ac-counting for 57.74％and 40.98％,respectively).The population of junior high school students who spend more than 2 hours using electronic learning products and electronic entertainment products(accounting for 26.61％and 35.05％,re-spectively)significantly increased compared to primary school students(accounting for 11.21％and 20.93％,respective-ly).Most senior high school students spend more than 2 hours daily using electronic devices for learning and entertainment purposes,as well as reading paper materials.51.59％of primary school students do not meet the standard for sleep dura-tion,while the rate of reaching the standard sleep duration of junior high and senior high school students was 60.09％and 64.99％,respectively.Most(55.74％)primary and secondary school students have an average outdoor activity duration of 1-2 hours daily.The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of myopia in primary school students was correlated with the time spent using electronic products(including learning and entertainment),the time spent reading paper materials at a close range,outdoor activities,time to fall asleep,and sleep duration(all P＜0.05);the risk of myopia among junior high school students was related to the time spent using electronic entertainment products,reading paper materials at a close range,outdoor activities,and sleep duration(all P＜0.05);the risk of myopia among senior high school students was only related to the time spent reading paper materials at a close range and the duration of outdoor activities(both P＜0.05).Conclusion The proportion of primary school students,junior high school students and senior high school students in Tianjin who use electronic products for more than 2 hours is gradually increasing,and the rate of reaching the standard sleep duration is gradually increasing.The risk of myopia among these students is related to the time spent reading paper materials at a close range and outdoor activities.Science popularization should be carried out and management of eye behaviors should be strengthened in the whole society to reduce myopia rates in children and adolescents in China.

Objective To observe the efficacy of Zishen Ningxin capsule combined with telmisartan in the treatment of perimenopausal hypertension,and its influence on the patients'blood pressure,biochemical indexes and TCM symptom scores.Methods 300 patients with perimenopausal hypertension were randomly divided into control group and observation group with 150 patients in each group.The control group was given telmisartan treatment,and the observation group was given Zishen Ningxin capsule on the basis of the control group.The treatment course of both groups was 8 weeks.The dynamic blood pressure and coefficient of variation of blood pressure at 24 h before and after treatment were observed and compared between two groups(24 h systolic blood pressure and coefficient of variation,24 h diastolic blood pressure and its coefficient of variation),sex hormone levels(serum estradiol,follicle stimulating hormone,testosterone,progesterone),blood lipid levels(triacylglycerol,total cholesterol,low density lipoprotein cholesterol,high density lipoprotein cholesterol),renin and hypersensitive C-reactive protein levels,as well as the changes of TCM symptom score were evaluated for the efficacy of the two groups.Results After treatment,the 24 h systolic blood pressure and its coefficient of variation,24 h diastolic blood pressure and its coefficient of variation,the levels of sex hormones,blood lipids,renin and hypersensitive C-reactive protein,as well as TCM symptom scores in two groups were significantly improved(P＜0.05),and all indexes in the observation group were better than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The total effective rate of observation group was significantly higher than that of control group(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference of the incidence of adverse reactions in the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Zishen Ningxin capsule combined with telmisartan has significant clinical efficacy in the treatment of perimenopausal hypertension,which can effectively reduce blood pressure,relieve symptoms,improve the levels of sex hormones,blood lipids,renin and hypersensitive C-reactive protein.

Objective:This study aims to explore the synergistic effects of DIP and other medical insurance supply-side policies.Method:City A that has piloted DIP reform was set as the treatment group,and City B without reform was set as the control group.A total of 1 120 public medical institution samples from 2019 to 2022 were collected.The total medical expenses during hospitalization and some structural expenses were analyzed using DID method.Result:DIP had a significant inhibitory effect on the medical expenses,and the expenses of checkups and examinations during hospitalization in city A,but had no impact on the drug and the material expenses during hospitalization.Conclusion:DIP played a significant cost control role and effectively controlled the total medical expenses during hospitalization.The synergistic effects of price adjustment of medical services policy and national centralized drug/material procurement policy on cost control were insufficient.DIP synergized with other supply-side policies to promote rational medical cost structure.It is suggested that medical insurance departments should focus on the synergistic effects of medical insurance supply-side policies to jointly improve the efficiency of medical insurance fund utilization.

Objective:To investigate the effects of nalbuphine(Nal)on the activity and an-giogenesis of colorectal cancer(CRC)cells by regulating the hypoxia inducible factor-1 α(HIF-1 α)/vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)signaling pathway.Methods:CRC cell SW480 was treated with Nal of 25-800 μmol/L to screen for the optimal drug concentration;CRC cells were separated into Control group,low concentration nalbuphine group(Nal-L group,50 μmol/L),me-dium concentration nalbuphine group(Nal-M group,100 μmol/L),high concentration nalbuphine group(Nal-H group,200 μmol/L),and high concentration nalbuphine(200 μmol/L)+HIF-1 α/VEGF signaling pathway activator group(Nal-H+DMOG group,200 μmol/L Nal+2 mM DMOG).The cell plate cloning experiment was applied to detect cell proliferation.The apoptotic ability of cells was evaluated by flow cytometry.The migration ability of cells was tested using scratch assay.The in-vasive ability of cells was measured using the Transwell method.The ability of cells to form blood vessels and the expression of HIF-1αA/EGF signaling pathway proteins were analyzed using Western blot.Results:Nal can inhibit cell proliferation in a concentration dependent manner.Compared with the Control group,the number of clone formation,scratch healing rate,number of invasive cells,number of vascular structure formation,HIF-1α,and VEGF protein expression in the Nal-L group,Nal-M group,and Nal-H group were greatly reduced(P＜0.05),the apoptosis rate of cells was obviously increased(P＜0.05).Compared with the Nal-H group,the number of clone formation,scratch healing rate,number of invasive cells,number of vascular structure formation,HIF-1α,and VEGF protein expression in the Nal-H+DMOG group were obviously increased(P＜0.05),the apoptosis rate of cells was greatly decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The inhibitory ef-fects of Nal on proliferation,migration,invasion,and vascular structure formation of CRC cells may be achieved by inhibiting the HIF-1αNEGF signaling pathway.

Purpose To explore the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS)in the differential diagnosis of gallbladder polypoid lesions(GPLs)(diameter≥10 mm).Materials and Methods A prospective enrollment of 229 patients with GPLs who underwent cholecystectomy in 17 hospitals from December 1 2021 to June 30 2024 was conducted to analyze the relationship between general data,conventional ultrasound,CEUS characteristics and the nature of GPLs.Multivariate Logistic regression was employed to identify independent risk factors for neoplastic polyps,the differential diagnostic value of different indicators was compared.Results Among 229 patients with GPLs,there were 108 cases of cholesterol polyps,102 cases of adenoma and 19 cases of gallbladder cancer.Age(Z=-4.476,P<0.001),polyp number(χ2=15.561,P<0.001),diameter(Z=-8.149,P<0.001),echogenicity(χ2=9.241,P=0.010),vascularity(χ2=23.107,P<0.001),enhancement intensity(χ2=47.610,P<0.001),enhancement pattern(χ2=6.468,P=0.011),vascular type(χ2=84.470,P<0.001),integrity of gallbladder wall(χ2=7.662,P=0.006)and stalk width(Z=-9.831,P<0.001)between cholesterol polyps and neoplastic polyps were statistically significant.Age,location,diameter,echogenicity,enhancement pattern,vascular type and stalk width between adenoma and gallbladder cancer were statistically significant(Z=-4.333,-3.902,-5.042,all P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that hyper-enhancement,branched vascular type and stalk width were independent risk factors for neoplastic polyps(OR=4.563,5.770,3.075,all P<0.001).The combination of independent risk factors was better than single factor and diameter in the differential diagnosis of cholesterol polyps and neoplastic polyps(all P<0.01).Conclusion CEUS can effectively identify the nature of GPLs and provide a valuable imaging reference for the selection of treatment methods.
