Sleep is an instinctive behavior alternating awakening state, sleep entails many active processes occurring at the cellular, circuit and organismal levels. The function of sleep is to restore cellular energy, enhance immunity, promote growth and development, consolidate learning and memory to ensure normal life activities. However, with the increasing of social pressure involved in work and life, the incidence of sleep disorders (SD) is increasing year by year. In the short term, sleep disorders lead to impaired memory and attention; in the longer term, it produces neurological dysfunction or even death. There are many ways to directly or indirectly contribute to sleep disorder and keep the hormones, including pharmacological alternative treatments, light therapy and stimulus control therapy. Exercise is also an effective and healthy therapeutic strategy for improving sleep. The intensities, time periods, and different types of exercise have different health benefits for sleep, which can be found through indicators such as sleep quality, sleep efficiency and total sleep time. So it is more and more important to analyze the mechanism and find effective regulation targets during sleep disorder through exercise. Dopamine (DA) is an important neurotransmitter in the nervous system, which not only participates in action initiation, movement regulation and emotion regulation, but also plays a key role in the steady-state remodeling of sleep-awakening state transition. Appreciable evidence shows that sleep disorder on humans and rodents evokes anomalies in the dopaminergic signaling, which are also implicated in the development of psychiatric illnesses such as schizophrenia or substance abuse. Experiments have shown that DA in different neural pathways plays different regulatory roles in sleep behavior, we found that increasing evidence from rodent studies revealed a role for ventral tegmental area DA neurons in regulating sleep-wake patterns. DA signal transduction and neurotransmitter release patterns have complex interactions with behavioral regulation. In addition, experiments have shown that exercise causes changes in DA homeostasis in the brain, which may regulate sleep through different mechanisms, including cAMP response element binding protein signal transduction, changes in the circadian rhythm of biological clock genes, and interactions with endogenous substances such as adenosine, which affect neuronal structure and play a neuroprotective role. This review aims to introduce the regulatory effects of exercise on sleep disorder, especially the regulatory mechanism of DA in this process. The analysis of intracerebral DA signals also requires support from neurophysiological and chemical techniques. Our laboratory has established and developed an in vivo brain neurochemical analysis platform, which provides support for future research on the regulation of sleep-wake cycles by movement. We hope it can provide theoretical reference for the formulation of exercise prescription for clinical sleep disorder and give some advice to the combined intervention of drugs and exercise.

OBJECTIVE To prepare hyaluronic acid （HA）-modified emodin （EMD）-contained multi-walled carbon nanotubes （MWCNTs） drug delivery system （HA-MWCNTs-EMD） and explore its in vitro inhibitory effect on breast cancer cells. METHODS EMD was loaded onto MWCNTs to prepare a drug delivery system MWCNTs-EMD； subsequently， the system was further modified with HA to obtain the drug delivery system HA-MWCNTs-EMD. The two drug delivery systems mentioned above were characterized. With free EMD as the reference， the drug release in vitro of the above two drug delivery systems was investigated； the uptake of EMD by two breast cancer cells （MCF-7， MDA-MB-231 cells） was detected. The impacts of the above two drug delivery systems on the expression of surface glycoprotein differentiation group 44 （CD44）， activity， apoptosis and lactate dehydrogenase （LDH） release of two breast cancer cells were detected. RESULTS The encapsulation efficiencies of MWCNTs-EMD and HA-MWCNTs-EMD were both （63.52±2.74）%， with drug loading rates of （25.01±1.83）% and （12.13± 1.96）%， particle sizes of （865.95±2.16） and （351.86±1.68） nm， polydispersity indexes of 0.54±0.02 and 0.23±0.01， and Zeta potentials of （23.87±0.14） and （－42.79±0.39） mV， respectively. The 2， 4， 6， 8， 10， 12 and 24-hour cumulative release rates of EMD in MWCNTs-EMD and HA-MWCNTs-EMD were significantly lower than those in free EMD， while the cumulative release rate of HA-MWCNTs-EMD was significantly higher than that of MWCNTs-EMD （P＜0.05）； the EMD uptakes of MWCNTs-EMD and HA-MWCNTs-EMD by the two types of breast cancer cells were significantly higher than their uptake of free EMD （P＜0.05）. Compared with the free EMD group， the MWCNTs-EMD and MWCNTs-EMD groups showed significantly higher apoptosis rate and LDH release， significantly lower surface CD44 expression （except for the MWCNTs-EMD group） and cell viability in both cell types， and the effect of HA-MWCNTs-EMD was more pronounced （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS A novel drug delivery system HA-MWCNTs- EMD loaded with EMD is developed successfully； the drug delivery system has a certain slow-release effect， which can significantly reduce the activity of breast cancer cells， promote their apoptosis and increase the release of LDH， and the above anti- breast cancer effect is significantly stronger than that of free EMD and MWCNTs-EMD.

Background::There is a need for effective and safe therapies for psoriasis that provide sustained benefits. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of tildrakizumab, an anti-interleukin-23p19 monoclonal antibody, for treating moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in Chinese patients.Methods::In this multi-center, double-blind, phase III trial, patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis were enrolled and randomly assigned (1:1) to receive subcutaneous tildrakizumab 100 mg or placebo at weeks 0 and 4. Patients initially assigned to placebo were switched to receive tildrakizumab at weeks 12, 16, and every 12 weeks thereafter. Patients in the tildrakizumab group continued with tildrakizumab at week 16, and every 12 weeks until week 52. The primary endpoint was the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 75) response rate at week 12.Results::At week 12, tildrakizumab demonstrated significantly higher PASI 75 response rates (66.4% [73/110] vs. 12.7% [14/110]; difference, 51.4% [95% confidence interval (CI), 40.72, 62.13]; P <0.001) and Physician’s Global Assessment (60.9% [67/110] vs. 10.0% [11/110]; difference, 49.1% [95% CI, 38.64, 59.62]; P <0.001) compared to placebo. PASI 75 response continued to improve over time in both tildrakizumab and placebo-switching to tildrakizumab groups, reaching maximal efficacy after 28 weeks (86.8% [92/106] vs. 82.4% [89/108]) and maintained up to 52 weeks (91.3% [95/104] vs. 87.4% [90/103]). Most treatment-emergent adverse events were mild and not related to tildrakizumab. Conclusion::Tildrakizumab demonstrated durable efficacy through week 52 and was well tolerated in Chinese patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.Trial registration::ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT05108766.

Objective To investigate the incidence and risk factors for acute kidney injury(AKI)in children with primary nephrotic syndrome(PNS),as well as the role of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin(NGAL)and kidney injury molecule-1(KIM-1)in the early identification of AKI in these children.Methods A prospective collection of clinical data from children hospitalized with PNS at the Children's Hospital of the Capital Institute of Pediatrics from January 2021 to October 2022 was conducted.The children were divided into two groups based on the presence of AKI:the AKI group(47 cases)and the non-AKI group(169 cases).The risk factors for AKI in children with PNS were identified by multivariate logistic regression analysis.Urinary KIM-1 and NGAL levels were compared between the AKI and non-AKI groups,as well as among the different stages of AKI.Results The incidence of AKI in children with PNS was 21.8%.Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome,gastrointestinal infections,and heavy proteinuria were independent risk factors for AKI in these children with PNS(P<0.05).Urinary KIM-1 and NGAL levels were higher in the AKI group compared to the non-AKI group(P<0.05),and the urinary NGAL and KIM-1 levels in the AKI stage 2 and stage 3 subgroups were higher than those in the AKI stage 1 subgroup(P<0.017).Conclusions KIM-1 and NGAL can serve as biomarkers for the early diagnosis of AKI in children with PNS.Identifying high-risk populations for AKI in children with PNS and strengthening the monitoring of related risk factors is of significant importance.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective To observe the effects of Tianma Gouteng Decoction combined with magnesium sulfate and Labetalol on lowering blood pressure and improving hemorheology in patients with gestational hypertension.Methods Ninety patients with gestational hypertension of liver-yang hyperactivity type were randomly divided into the combination group and the control group,with 45 cases in each group.The control group was treated with magnesium sulfate combined with Labetalol,and the combination group was treated with Tianma Gouteng Decoction on the basis of treatment for the control group.The course of treatment lasted for 5 days.The changes of systolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP),urinary protein level,and hemorheological indicators of the two groups were observed before and after the treatment.Moreover,the adverse pregnancy outcomes,adverse reactions,and patients'satisfaction of the two groups were compared.Finally,the influencing factors of patients'adverse pregnancy outcomes were investigated by logistic regression analysis.Results(1)After treatment,the SBP,DBP and urinary protein level of patients in the two groups were significantly decreased compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the decrease in the combination group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.01).(2)After treatment,the hemorheological indicators of plasma viscosity,whole blood viscosity and hematocrit of patients in the two groups were significantly decreased compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the decrease in the combination group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).(3)The total incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes in the combination group was 11.11%(5/45),which was significantly lower and that in the control group(33.33%,15/45),the difference being statistically significant(P＜0.05).(4)The patients'satisfaction of the combination group was 97.78%(44/45),which was significantly higher than that of the control group(84.44%,38/45),and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).(5)The total incidence of adverse reactions in the combination group was 13.33%(6/45)and that in the control group was 8.89%(4/45),but the intergroup comparison showed no significant difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).(6)Logistic regression analysis of influencing factors showed that no medication of Tianma Gouteng Decoction combined with Labetalol and magnesium sulfate,and poor antihypertensive effect were the independent risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes in patients with gestational hypertension(all OR＞1,P＜0.05).Conclusion Tianma Gouteng Decoction combined with magnesium sulfate and Labetalol in treating gestational hypertension exerts certain antihypertensive effect,and the therapy can effectively improve the hemorheological indicators and the adverse pregnancy outcomes,and enhance the patients'satisfaction.

Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1α), a core transcription factor responding to changes in cellular oxygen levels, is closely associated with a wide range of physiological and pathological conditions. However, its differential impacts on vascular cell types and molecular programs modulating human vascular homeostasis and regeneration remain largely elusive. Here, we applied CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing of human embryonic stem cells and directed differentiation to generate HIF-1α-deficient human vascular cells including vascular endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), as a platform for discovering cell type-specific hypoxia-induced response mechanisms. Through comparative molecular profiling across cell types under normoxic and hypoxic conditions, we provide insight into the indispensable role of HIF-1α in the promotion of ischemic vascular regeneration. We found human MSCs to be the vascular cell type most susceptible to HIF-1α deficiency, and that transcriptional inactivation of ANKZF1, an effector of HIF-1α, impaired pro-angiogenic processes. Altogether, our findings deepen the understanding of HIF-1α in human angiogenesis and support further explorations of novel therapeutic strategies of vascular regeneration against ischemic damage.

The quantity and quality of rural public health service personnel are crucial for ensuring the health of rural residents.However,there are current challenges including insufficient personnel quantity and professional competence,severe talent loss,and low levels of rural public health services.The main reasons behind these challenges include insufficient financial investment,an imperfect salary system,inadequate performance evaluation mechanisms,and uneven resource allocation.In 2023,the National Health Commission and other departments jointly initiated anti-corruption efforts in the medical field while deepening healthcare system reforms.These reforms focus on strengthening the public health system,especially in rural and community areas,and revamping grassroots salary structures with an emphasis on decoupling salaries from revenue generation.However,specific measures for financial security of rural health personnel have not been clearly outlined.To bring in and retain rural health personnel,the financial security mechanism needs to be improved.It is recommended to increase financial investment by expanding budget allocations,implement a"dossier system"with salaries paid directly to individuals'accounts from municipal or county-level budgets,refine the salary system,reform performance evaluation mechanisms,raise overall remuneration,rationalize the allocation of resources,enrich health talents and encourage retired doctors to settle in rural areas.By gradually improving the financial security mechanism for rural public health service personnel,sustainable development of rural public health services can be achieved.

Objective To observe the value of quantitative analysis technique for evaluating left atrial function in children with Kawasaki disease(KD).Methods Totally 43 children with KD(KD group)who would undergo intravenous immunoglobulin(IVIG)therapy were prospectively enrolled,including 23 with(ectasia subgroup)and 20 without coronary artery ectasia(non-ectasia subgroup),while 50 healthy children were enrolled as control group.Children in KD group.Echocardiography was performed in acute phase(10-12 hours before IVIG therapy),subacute phase(1 week after therapy)and convalescent phase(6-10 weeks after therapy)of KD.The left atrial reservoir strain(LASr),early diastolic conduit strain(LAScd),late diastolic contractile strain(LASct),left ventricular global longitudinal strain(LVGLS),basal segment,middle segment and apical segment longitudinal strain(LS)were measured.Strain parameters of different periods were compared between groups and subgroups in KD group,and left atrial strain parameters in KD subgroup were compared among different periods.Pearson correlation analysis was used for evaluation of the correlations of left atrium and left ventricle strain parameters in children with acute KD.Results LASr,LAScd,LASct,LVGLS and left ventricular segment LS of KD group in acute and subacute phase were all lower than those of control group(all P＜0.05),while the basal segment LS of KD group in convalescent phase was lower than that of control group(P＜0.05).In KD group,compared with acute stage,LASr,LAScd,LASct,LVGLS and left ventricular segment LS significantly increased in subacute phase(all P＜0.05),while in convalescent phase,LASr,LAScd,LASct,LVGLS,middle segment LS and apical LS further increased(all P＜0.05).LASr and LAScd in acute phase of KD group were positively correlated with LVGLS,middle segment LS and apical segment LS(r=0.43-0.67,all P＜0.05).In the acute and subacute phases,no significant difference of left artial LS parameters was found between subgroups within KD group(all P＞0.05).LASr and LAScd in convalescent phase of ectasia subgroup were lower than those of non-ectasia subgroup(all P＜0.05),while no significant difference of LASct was found between subgroups within KD group(P＞0.05).Conclusion Quantitative analysis technique could be used to evaluate left atrial function in KD children.Changes of left atrial function in KD children were closely related to left ventricular systolic function,which was affected by coronary artery ectasia in convalescent phase.
