Objective To investigate the sleep architecture of sleep related bruxism（SB）in adults and the sleep architecture of SB comorbid with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome（OSAHS），as well as their correlation with age and other factors. Methods A total of 51 subjects with SB and 67 controls were included in this study to analyze the sleep architecture of SB and compare the sleep architecture of SB comorbid with different severities of OSAHS. Results Compared with the control group，the SB group had a younger age，increases in N1（%TST）and N2（%TST），a reduction in N3（%TST），and an increase in arousal index. The SB group was divided into non-OSAHS group（group 1），mild OSAHS group（group 2），and moderate-to-severe OSAHS group（group 3）. Group 1 had a younger age than group 2 and group 3，and group 3 had increases in body mass index（BMI），N1（%TST），oxygen desaturation index（ODI），and arousal index and a reduction in N3（%TST）. The Spearman's rank correlation analysis showed that BMI，N1（%TST），arousal index，and ODI increased with the increase in apnea-hypopnea index（AHI），while N3（%TST）decreased with the increase in AHI. The binary logistic regression analysis showed that SB was negatively correlated with age and was positively correlated with arousal index. Conclusion SB may affect sleep architecture by increasing light sleep，reducing deep sleep，and increasing the number of awakenings. There are changes in sleep architecture in case of SB comorbid with different severities of OSAHS. SB is negatively correlated with age and is positively correlated with arousal index.

BACKGROUND: Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP), a rare and recurrent autoinflammatory disease, imposes a substantial burden on patients and society. Awareness of GPP in China remains limited. METHODS: This cross-sectional survey, conducted between September 2021 and May 2023 across 14 hospitals in China, included GPP patients of all ages and disease phases. Data collected encompassed demographics, clinical characteristics, economic impact, disease severity, quality of life, and treatment-related complications. Risk factors for GPP recurrence were analyzed. RESULTS: Among 127 patients (female/male ratio = 1.35:1), the mean age of disease onset was 25 years (1st quartile [Q1]-3rd quartile [Q3]: 11-44 years); 29.2% had experienced GPP for more than 10 years. Recurrence occurred in 75.6% of patients, and nearly half reported no identifiable triggers. Younger age at disease onset ( P  = 0.021) and transitioning to plaque psoriasis ( P  = 0.022) were associated with higher recurrence rates. The median diagnostic delay was 8 months (Q1-Q3: 2-41 months), and 32.3% of patients reported misdiagnoses. Comorbidities were present in 53.5% of patients, whereas 51.1% experienced systemic complications during treatment. Depression and anxiety affected 84.5% and 95.6% of patients, respectively. During GPP flares, the median Dermatology Life Quality Index score was 19.0 (Q1-Q3: 13.0-23.5). This score showed significant differences between patients with and without systemic symptoms; it demonstrated correlations with both depression and anxiety scores. Treatment costs caused financial hardship in 55.9% of patients, underscoring the burden associated with GPP. CONCLUSIONS The substantial disease and economic burdens among Chinese GPP patients warrant increased attention. Patients with early onset disease and those transitioning to plaque psoriasis require targeted interventions to mitigate the high recurrence risk.

Objective:To compare the advantages and disadvantages and training costs of different training methods for microsurgical vascular anastomosis, and to provide a basis for establishing a systematic training model and improving surgeons microsurgical skills and clinical competence.Methods:Doctors came from various primary hospitals and exchange groups from foreign hospitals to China, and several groups of data statistics from 2018-2023 were randomly selected for this study. The microsurgical vascular anastomosis training lasted 10 days, including 1 day of theoretical study and 9 days of practical training. A total of 48 doctors were equally divided into group A (one-person operation), group B (two-person cooperation), and group C (two-person cooperation in the first four days and one-person operation in the last five days). The differences in anastomosis time and number of anastomoses between the groups were analysed by one-way ANOVA using the software GraphPad Prism 8.3.0, with P<0.05 indicating that there were statistically significant differences in the variable data. The cost of the three training methods was investigated, and a questionnaire survey of the trainees was conducted. Results:For all the three groups, the speed of anastomosis and the number of anastomoses increased with the course of training. The duration of single-vessel anastomosis was significantly different between groups A and B as well as between groups A and C at all time points except on day 1 (A1 d vs. B1 d, P=0.335; A1 d vs. C1 d, P=0.064; P<0.05 for all the other time points); groups B and C showed no significant differences on day 1 ( P=0.196) and day 3 ( P=0.115) but had significant differences on days 5, 7, and 9 (all P<0.05) in the duration of anastomosis. The number of anastomoses was not significantly different between A1 d and B1 d ( P=0.081), between A3 d and B3 d ( P=0.160), between B1 d and C1 d ( P=0.695), between B3 d and C3 d ( P=0.520), and between A1 d and C1 d ( P=0.123), with significant differences at the other time points (all P<0.05). The training costs were group A > group C > group B. The training questionnaire showed that the proportion of trainees who applied this technique in their daily work was 100.00% (48/48), the proportion of those who wished to participate in the training of this technique occasionally was 100.00% (48/48), the proportion of participants whose institutions had no relevant training conditions was 37.50% (18/48), the proportion of those whose institutions lacked necessary instruments and equipment was 35.42% (17/48), the proportion of those who had difficulties in access to laboratory animals was 68.75% (33/48), and the proportion of inability to carry out relevant training due to the lack of animal experimentation techniques such as anesthesia, preservation, and euthanasia was 91.67% (44/48), indicating that there is a great need for microsurgical vascular anastomosis training. Conclusions:The three training modes have their own advantages and disadvantages. The A mode is suitable for small-scale training. The B mode is suitable for training with adequate funds, a large number of personnel, and a high use frequency. The C mode is the best choice for microsurgical vascular anastomosis training, in which trainees can not only practice the whole vascular anastomosis process but also cooperative skills for anastomosis.

Objective To investigate the association between sleep structure and respiratory events in patients with epilepsy. Methods A total of 95 patients with epilepsy and 66 control patients who attended our hospital from March 2018 to March 2022 were enrolled,and polysomnography was used to compare sleep structure and respiratory events between the epilepsy group and the control group. Results Compared with the control group,the epilepsy group had significant reductions in REM sleep duration and R%,a significant increase in the longest duration of hypoventilation,and a significant reduction in the lowest oxygen saturation. Conclusion Changes in sleep structure are observed in patients with epilepsy,and patients with epilepsy and obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome tend to develop hypoxemia.

ObjectiveTo investigate the preventive effect and mechanism of Aurantii Fructus Immaturus and naringin on postoperative intestinal adhesion in rats. MethodThe preventive effect of Aurantii Fructus Immaturus and naringin on intestinal adhesion was studied by cecal scraping model of rats， the model rats were randomly divided into model group， dexamethasone sodium phosphate group and Aurantii Fructus Immaturus low， medium and high dose groups （1.58， 3.15， 6.30 g·kg^-1·d^-1）， tsham-operated group was treated with an incision in the abdomen. Adhesion was assessed by Nair method after 7 d of administration. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe the pathological morphology and inflammatory cell infiltration of cecum， the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 （MMP-9） in cecal adhesion was detected by immunohistochemistry. Meanwhile， intestinal adhesion model rats were randomly divided into model group， dexamethasone sodium phosphate group， naringin low， medium， high dose groups （50， 100， 200 mg·kg^-1·d^-1）， and the sham-operated group was treated with an incision in the abdomen. Adhesion was assessed after 7 d of administration， HE staining was used to observe the pathological morphology and inflammatory cell infiltration in the cecum， and the expression of MMP-9 in the cecal adhesion tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry. Expressions of transforming growth factor-β₁ （TGF-β₁） and α-smooth muscle actin （α-SMA） in cecum were analyzed by western blot. ResultAurantii Fructus Immaturus could inhibit the formation of postoperative intestinal adhesions in rats， reduce the inflammatory response of damaged cecum tissue， and up-regulate the expression of MMP-9 in the adherent tissue in a dose-dependent manner. All dose groups of naringin could significantly inhibit the formation of postoperative intestinal adhesions in rats， reduce inflammatory cell infiltration and fibrous proliferation in tissue， up-regulate the expression of MMP-9 in the adherent tissue in a dose-dependent manner， and inhibit the expression of TGF-β₁ and α-SMA in cecal tissue. ConclusionAurantii Fructus Immaturus and naringin can reduce postoperative intestinal adhesion formation in rat model， and their effects may be related to reducing tissue fibrosis and accelerating extracellular matrix degradation.

Objective:To evaluate partial ventral hepatectomy in the treatment of patients with complicated iatrogenic high bile duct injury.Methods:The clinical data of 8 cases of complicated iatrogenic high bile duct injury treated with the assistance of hepatic ventral segmentectomy from Mar 2013 to May 2020 at Hunan Provincial People's Hospital was retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among the 8 patients, 5 patients underwent partial Ⅳb lobectomy, and 3 patients received partial Ⅳb and Ⅴ segmentectomy of the liver. All the operation was successful without death in hospital. One case developed subphrenic infection and seroperitoneum, which was healed by anti-infection treatment and abdominocentesis. The postoperative follow-up time was 5-90 months, and all of patients are doing well. There was no stenosis in intrahepatic bile duct by postoperative cholangiography or MRI.Conclusions:Quadrate lobe hepatectomy provides a wide view for the treatment of complicated iatrogenic high bile duct injury by fully opening the first porta hepatis and exposing the primary and secondary bile duct branch helping establish a wide patent tension free bile duct-jejunostomy.

Objective:To investigatethe relationship between right ventricular blood flow components and right ventricular function in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) by 4D-FLOW cardiovascular MR (4D-FLOW CMR).Methods:Thirty patients with PH were prospectively enrolled in this study. All patients underwent right heart catheterization to measure hemodynamics and CMR to measure right ventricular blood flow and right ventricular function within 1 week. The long-axis 4-chamber and contiguous short axis cineslices were acquired with balanced steady-state free precession sequence to calculate RV functional metrics including right ventricular end diastolic volume, end systolic volume, ejection fraction, stroke output and other functional parameters. Ventricular flow was acquired in sagittal direction, using a 3D retrospectively ECG-triggered, navigator-gated prototype sequence to analyze.RV function and flow parameters were correlated with Spearman correlation analysis.Results:Right ventricular percent of direction flow(RVPDF),percent of delayed eject flow (RVPDEF),percent of retained flow (RVPRI) and percent of residual volume(RVPRV) of PH patients measured with 4D-FLOW were 16.4%±9.2%, 16.1%±5.6%, 16.8%±6.1%, and 50.5%±12.3%, respectively. RVPDF negatively correlated with RVPRVo ( r=-0.703, P<0.001) while RVPDEF positively correlated with RVPRI( r=0.955, P<0.001). RVPDF was positively correlated with right ventricular stroke volume index (RVSVI)( r=0.38, P=0.041) and right ventricular eject fraction(RVEF)( r=0.69, P<0.001), and negatively correlated with right ventricular end systolic volume index(RVESVI)( r=-0.65, P<0.001) and right ventricular mass index(RVMI)( r=-0.45, P=0.004). RVPRVo was negatively correlated with RVEF( r=-0.58, P=0.007). The sum of RVPDF and RVPDEF (RVPDF+RVPDEF) was 35.2%±11.4%. RVEF correlated with RVPDF+RVPDEF ( r=0.825, P<0.001) and comparable to RVPDF+RVPDEF ( t=1.427, P=0.164). RVPDF was negatively correlated with pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) ( r=-0.52, P=0.007) while RVPRVo was positively correlated with PVR ( r=0.54, P=0.004). Conclusions:4D-FLOW CMR can be used to measure right ventricular ejection fraction in PH patients without respiratory control. In PH patients, the right ventricular direct blood flow was significantly decreased, while the residual blood flow was significantly increased. The right ventricular direct blood flow and residual blood flow were related to the right ventricular function and pulmonary vascular resistance, which were important parameters to evaluate the right ventricular function and afterload in PH.
