Objective To explore the nutritional efficacy of compound protein powder formulations from different sources. Methods Three groups of compound protein powder formulations were obtained through scientific blending using soy protein, whey protein and yeast protein as raw materials. The effects of the compound protein powders on nitrogen metabolism, serum biochemical indicators, and pathological changes of liver tissue and epididymal fat in rats were evaluated. Results Compared with the control (casein), the net protein utilization, biological evaluation, and protein efficacy ratio of the compound protein powders in rats were significantly improved, and the changes in these indicators in the formula with the highest whey protein content were most significant among all three formulas. The compound protein powders effectively increased the levels of albumin and globulin, while decreased the content of total cholesterol, indicating beneficial effects on improving immunity and controlling lipid metabolism, with the formula group 2 being the most effective among all three groups. The pathological examination showed that the three groups of protein powder did not have adverse effects on liver tissue and epididymal fat. Conclusion The present study demonstrates that the compound protein powder formulation has nutritional value, which suggests a potential of the application of the compound protein powder formulation in the elderly, and people with special nutritional needs, such as sports people.

Objective:
This study’s objective is to assess the efficacy and safety of Pulsed Magnetic Therapy System (PMTS) in improving insomnia disorder.
Methods:
Participants with insomnia disorder were randomly assigned to receive either PMTS or sham treatment for four weeks (n= 153; PMTS: 76, sham: 77). Primary outcomes are the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) scores at week 0 (baseline), 1, 2, 3, 4 (treatment), and 5 (follow-up). Secondary outcomes are the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index at baseline and week 4, and weekly sleep diary-derived values for sleep latency, sleep efficiency, real sleep time, waking after sleep onset, and sleep duration.
Results:
The ISI scores of the PMTS group and the sham group were 7.13±0.50, 11.07±0.51 at week 4, respectively. There was a significant group×time interaction for ISI (F3.214, 485.271=24.25, p<0.001, ηp 2=0.138). Only the PMTS group experienced continuous improvement throughout the study; in contrast, the sham group only experienced a modest improvement after the first week of therapy. At the end of the treatment and one week after it, the response of the PMTS group were 69.7% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 58.6%–79.0%), 75.0% (95% CI: 64.1%–83.4%), respectively, which were higher than the response of the sham group (p<0.001). For each of the secondary outcomes, similar group×time interactions were discovered. The effects of the treatment persisted for at least a week.
Conclusion
PMTS is safe and effective in improving insomnia disorders.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of ovarian torsion in in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) cycles and identify factors that may affect the outcome. Methods:Patients who underwent surgery for ovarian torsion during IVF treatment in the Center of Reproductive Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Peking University Third Hospital from January 2010 to December 2019 were included. The general information, IVF cycle characteristics, and intraoperative findings of patients were retrospectively analyzed. The diagnosis and treatment process were summarized. The pregnancy outcomes were followed up, and the possible influencing factors were analyzed.Results:There were 141 539 cycles of controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) and 75 585 cycles of frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) during the study period. A total of 50 patients were diagnosed with ovarian torsion and treated surgically, 90.0% of them occurred in the COS cycles (39 cases in fresh embryo transfer cycles and 6 cases in embryo freezing cycles), and 10.0% (5/50) occurred in the FET cycles (endometrial preparation in natural cycles or ovulation induction cycles). About 86.0% (43/50) of the patients occurred during pregnancy assisted with IVF-ET and 81.4% (35/43) occurred in the first trimester of pregnancy. All patients except one had abdominal pain as the first symptom, only 34.0% (17/50) of the patients had definite inducements, and all patients had signs of tenderness in the lower abdomen and adnexal area. Preoperative ultrasound examination showed that the average diameter of the torsional ovaries was (78.17±15.98) mm, compared with (48.69±15.96) mm in the controls, with an average difference of (30.13±19.69) mm (-3.5-80.0 mm). About 76.2% (32/42) of the torsional ovaries showed blood flow signals by color doppler ultrasound. All patients underwent surgery, and the coincidence rate between the preoperative diagnosis and the surgical diagnosis was 96%. Totally 22 torsional ovaries (44%) were found to be purplish-black, of which 16 cases underwent adnexectomy by laparoscopy or laparotomy. Totally 34 cases (68%) underwent ovarian detorsion. The average torsional degree of ovaries in the adnexectomy group was higher than that in the ovarian detorsion group [(727.50±206.54)° vs. (477.35±262.92)°, P=0.002]. There were no statistical differences between the two groups in the duration from onset to operation and the ratio of ovarian blood signal deficiency (all P>0.05). Among 44 patients with the embryo transfer, 84.1% (37/44) of patients obtained live birth, 1 case had implantation failure, and 6 cases had a spontaneous abortion. Patients with an adverse pregnancy outcome and patients with a live birth did not have significantly different ovarian torsion time, surgical methods, the duration from onset to operation, and other factors. Conclusion:Ovarian torsion in patients with IVF-ET treatment mostly occurs in the first trimester of pregnancy after fresh embryo transfer. Abdominal pain accompanied by differential enlargement of bilateral ovaries may suggest the possibility of ovarian torsion. We are unable to rule out ovarian torsion by observation of ovarian blood flow with color Doppler ultrasound. Active surgery was helpful to make a clear diagnosis and protect the fertility of patients. Patients with long torsional durations, purplish-black ovaries, or ovarian blood deficiency still have the opportunity to retain the torsional ovary. The pregnancy outcome of patients with ovarian torsion was satisfactory after surgical treatment.
