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.

Objective To explore the application value of three mainstream large language models in the diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and treatment decision support of the primary diseases related to pediatric liver transplantation. Methods Seventy-nine cases of pediatric liver transplantation-related diseases diagnosed through pathological or clinical follow-up data were collected from Renji Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine or published high-quality case reports. These cases covered 25 types of primary diseases such as cholestatic liver disease, metabolic diseases, and tumors. Standardized prompts were used to input the case information into the DeepSeek-R1, ChatGPT-4o and Grok-3 models, and the accuracy of their preliminary diagnosis and differential diagnosis based on basic clinical data was evaluated. The final diagnosis accuracy and the response time after supplementary examination were also assessed, as well as the completeness and rationality of their analysis of disease treatment principles. Results In the initial diagnosis and differential diagnosis stage, the comprehensive accuracy of DeepSeek-R1 was the highest [72.1%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 61.4% - 80.8%], and there was a statistically significant difference in the comprehensive accuracy of the three models for initial diagnosis (P = 0.008). After adding further examination information, the final diagnosis accuracy of the three models increased, with DeepSeek-R1 at 88.6% (95% CI 79.7% - 93.9%), ChatGPT-4o at 87.3% (95% CI 78.2% - 93.0%), and Grok-3 at 78.5% (95% CI 68.2% - 86.1%). There was no statistically significant difference among the three models (P = 0.05). The scores given by experts for the treatment principles showed good consistency (Kappa = 0.769). In addition, the response time of ChatGPT-4o is shorter than that of the other two models [(24 ± 7) s]. Conclusions Large language models demonstrate good efficacy in the diagnosis and treatment decision-making process of various pediatric liver diseases, have a good application prospect for auxiliary diagnosis and decision support, and are expected to help improve the accuracy and efficiency of clinical diagnosis and treatment of pediatric liver transplantation-related primary diseases.

Objective:To explore the correlations between the monocytes/high-density lipoprotein ratio (MHR), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and all-cause mortality in patients undergoing maintenance peritoneal dialysis (PD), and to provide references for clinical prevention and treatment strategies.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 336 PD patients who were treated in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from June 2014 to August 2023. According to the survival status of the patients during the follow-up period, they were divided into the death group ( n=55) and the survival group ( n=281). The differences in clinical data, blood routine, laboratory biochemical indicators, monocyte count, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and ALP indicators between the two groups were collected and compared. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to screen the risk factors for all-cause mortality in PD patients, and Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between the survival time of patients and related indicators. Results:In this study, there were 55 patients who died of all causes. The causes of death were cardiovascular events in 26 cases (47.27%), gastrointestinal bleeding in 3 cases (5.45%), infection in 7 cases (12.73%), multiple organ failure in 8 cases (14.55%), and unexplained death in 11 cases (20.00%). There was no statistically significant difference in gender, age, weight, serum parathyroid hormone (PTH), and total cholesterol (TC) between the death group and the survival group (all P>0.05). The treatment time, neutrophil count, red blood cell volume distribution width (RDW), ALP, blood uric acid (UA), blood calcium, MHR and creatinine in the death group were all higher than those in the survival group (all P<0.05), while the lymphocyte count was lower than that in the survival group ( P<0.05). The Cox risk model showed that MHR, ALP, treatment duration, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, RDW, UA, and creatinine were independent risk factors for all-cause mortality in PD patients ( OR=1.578, 2.881, 1.021, 1.122, 1.476, 2.231, 1.018, 1.008, all P<0.05); Pearson correlation analysis revealed that the survival time of PD patients was negatively correlated with MHR and ALP ( r=-0.305, -0.246, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The levels of MHR and ALP are closely related to the risk of all-cause mortality in PD patients and are independent risk factors for all-cause mortality in patients.

Non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)is one of the most common and deadly malignant tumors worldwide,with surgical resection being the primary treatment for early-stage NSCLC.Tumor spread through air spaces(STAS)is a novel pattern of tumor dissemination into the air spaces in the lung.Its occurrence after sublobar resection is closely associated with recurrence and distant metastasis,making its con-sideration a vital factor in surgical strategy selection and prognostic evaluation.Patients with STAS-positive status exhibit significantly higher postoperative recurrence rates than do STAS-negative patients,with molecular mechanisms involving tumor microenvironment remodeling,specific genetic mutations,and epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT).Imaging techniques including computed tomography(CT)and positron emission tomography/CT have shown potential for preoperative STAS prediction,although their accuracy and practicality require improvement.This paper reviews the definition,pathological characteristics,and related mechanisms of STAS,with a focus on surgical ap-proach selection for STAS-positive patients and its role in cancer recurrence after sublobar resection of early-stage NSCLC.Future research directions include optimization of preoperative diagnostic methods for STAS,exploration of molecular targeted therapies,and development of imaging-based precision prediction models.
