BackgroundPostpartum depression （PPD） is a prevalent postpartum complications that significantly compromises women's psychological and physical well-being. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation （rTMS）， a conventional neuromodulation technique， has been increasingly used in the treatment of PPD. However， high-quality evidence regarding its efficacy and safety remains limited. ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of rTMS in the treatment of PPD， thereby providing references for clinical treatment. MethodsDatabases including Cochrane Library， PubMed， Embase， CNKI， Wanfang， VIP and China Biology Medicine disc （CBM） were electronically searched for randomized controlled trials （RCTs） on rTMS for PPD， with the search spanning from database inception to February 8， 2025. Study quality was assessed using the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions 5.0.1， and the certainty of evidence was graded according to the Grading of Recommendations Assessment， Development and Evaluation （GRADE） approach. Meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.3 and Stata 12.0. The outcomes of the Meta-analysis included the total effective rate， Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale （EPDS） score， Hamilton Depression Rating Scale （HAMD） score， and adverse reactions （dizziness， headache， nausea， diarrhea， and the overall incidence of adverse reactions）. ResultsA total of 11 studies involving 729 patients with PPD were included. Meta-analysis results showed that the total effective rate in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group （OR=5.54， 95% CI： 3.07–10.01， P<0.01）. Both EPDS score （SMD=-2.38， 95% CI： -3.39–-1.37， P<0.01） and HAMD score （SMD=2.53， 95% CI： 1.21–3.85， P<0.01） in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group， with statistically significant differences. Comparisons between the study group and control group reveal no significant differences in the incidence of dizziness and headache （RR=1.47， 95% CI： 0.63–3.43， P>0.05）， nausea （RR=1.46， 95% CI： 0.55–3.86， P>0.05）， diarrhea （RR=0.71， 95% CI： 0.23–2.20， P>0.05）， and overall adverse reactions （RR=1.30， 95% CI： 0.79–2.15， P>0.05）. GRADE assessment rated the four indicators of dizziness and headache， diarrhea， overall incidence of adverse reactions， and EPDS score as "moderate-certainty evidence"， and rated the total effective rate， nausea， and the HAMD score as "low-certainty evidence". ConclusionrTMS demonstrates certain therapeutic efficacy for PPD， with a safety profile comparable to conventional treatment. ［Funded by Sichuan Psychological Society Research Planning Project （number， SCSXLXH202403099）； Guiding Science and Technology Plan Project of Guangyuan （number， 23ZDYF0095）］

The development of acute liver injury can result in liver cirrhosis, liver failure, and even liver cancer, yet there is currently no effective therapy for it. The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effect and therapeutic mechanism of Lyciumbarbarum polysaccharides (LBPs) on acute liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄). To create a model of acute liver injury, experimental canines received an intraperitoneal injection of 1 mL/kg of CCl₄ solution. The experimental canines in the therapy group were then fed LBPs (20 mg/kg). CCl₄-induced liver structural damage, excessive fibrosis, and reduced mitochondrial density were all improved by LBPs, according to microstructure data. By suppressing Kelch-like epichlorohydrin (ECH)-associated protein 1 (Keap1), promoting the production of sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1)/p62, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and phase II detoxification genes and proteins downstream of Nrf2, and restoring the activity of anti-oxidant enzymes like catalase (CAT), LBPs can restore and increase the antioxidant capacity of liver. To lessen mitochondrial damage, LBPs can also enhance mitochondrial respiration, raise tissue adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels, and reactivate the respiratory chain complexes I‒V. According to serum metabolomics, the therapeutic impact of LBPs on acute liver damage is accomplished mostly by controlling the pathways to lipid metabolism. 9-Hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (9-HODE), lysophosphatidylcholine (LysoPC/LPC), and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) may be potential indicators of acute liver injury. This study confirmed that LBPs, an effective hepatoprotective drug, may cure acute liver injury by lowering oxidative stress, repairing mitochondrial damage, and regulating metabolic pathways.

COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection severely threatens global health and economic development. No effective antiviral drug is currently available to treat COVID-19 and any other human coronavirus infections. We report herein that a macrolide antibiotic, carrimycin, potently inhibited the cytopathic effects (CPE) and reduced the levels of viral protein and RNA in multiple cell types infected by human coronavirus 229E, OC43, and SARS-CoV-2. Time-of-addition and pseudotype virus infection studies indicated that carrimycin inhibited one or multiple post-entry replication events of human coronavirus infection. In support of this notion, metabolic labelling studies showed that carrimycin significantly inhibited the synthesis of viral RNA. Our studies thus strongly suggest that carrimycin is an antiviral agent against a broad-spectrum of human coronaviruses and its therapeutic efficacy to COVID-19 is currently under clinical investigation.

Two new SAM-dependent methyltransferase encoding genes (fvsmt1 and fvsmt2) were identified from the genome of Flammulina velutipes. In order to make a comprehensive characterization of both genes, we performed in silico analysis of both genes and used qRT-PCR to reveal their expression patterns during the development of F. velutipes. There are 4 and 6 exons with total length of 693 and 978 bp in fvsmt2 and fvsmt1, respectively. The deduced proteins, i.e., FVSMT1 and FVSMT2 contained 325 and 230 amino acids with molecular weight 36297 and 24894 Da, respectively. Both proteins contained a SAM-dependent catalytic domain with signature motifs (I, p-I, II, and III) defining the SAM fold. SAM-dependent catalytic domain is located either in the middle or at the N-terminal of FVSMT2 and FVSMT1, respectively. Alignment and phylogenic analysis showed that FVSMT1 is a homolog to a protein–arginine omega-N-methyltransferase, while FVSMT2 is of cinnamoyl CoA O-methyltransferase type and predicted subcellular locations of these proteins are mitochondria and cytoplasm, respectively. qRT-PCR showed that fvsmt1 and fvsmt2 expression was regulated in different developmental stages. The maximum expression levels of fvsmt1 and fvsmt2 were observed in stipe elongation, while no difference was found in mycelium and pileus. These results positively demonstrate that both the methyltransferase encoding genes are involved in the stipe elongation of F. velutipes.

Objective To explore the personality characteristics of patients with chronic migraine complicating drugs overuse.Methods A total of 67 cases of migraine (control group) and 175 cases of medication overused migraine (MOH) were treated in the neurology department of this hospital from March to December 2016.The patients conformed to the migraine diagnostic criteria of the International Classification of Headache Disorders Third Edition (ICHD-3) formulated by the International Headache Society.The personality assessment adopted an internationally used Minnesota Personality Questionnaire.Results The scores of suspected disease,depression,rickets and social introgression in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).In the observation group,there was a negative correlation between personality suspicion,rickets,neurasthenia,social introversion and education (P＜ 0.05).In the personality traits aspect of the observation group,hypochondriasis,hysteria,neuradynamia and social introversion were negatively correlated with the cultural degree (P＜0.05).Conclusion The personality changes in the four aspects of hypochondria,depression,hysteria and social introversion in the patients with MOH are more obvious than those in the patients with simple chronic migraine.

Kallmann syndrome ( KS) is a rare disease and characteristic of an absence of puberty, infertility, and a defective sensation of smell (anosmia or hyposmia). Here, we analyze the features of a case of KS diagnosed clinically. In addition, the etiology, genetic features, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of KS were reviewed.

Klinefelter syndrome(KS) is the most common sex chromosome disorder in males,which is caused by the presence of the extra X chromosome that maybe inherited from mother or father. Approximately 80% karyotype of the cases is 47,XXY. KS is characterized by small firm testes, hypergonadotropic hypogonadism, infertility,gynaecomastia, increased height. However, cognitive disabilities and psychiatric disorders are rarely diagnosed in KS because they lack screening in related aspects. At the present, the pathogenesis of cognitive disabilities and increased risk of psychiatric diseases in KS have not been delineated. In this article,we report two cases of KS,and review their clinical manifestations,diagnosis,and treatments.

Objective To investigatethe quality of life of patients with oral cancer in different period in a hospital, and to explore the impact of patients' psychological status on their quality of life. Methods 50 cases of oral cancer patients in our hospital were investigated in this study by Convenience sampling method. The scale of the hospital anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS, the Japanese version), the quality of life of cancer patients were measured by the scale (FACT-G); the functional evaluation of tumor therapy- head and neck questionnaire (FACT-H&N). Results The comparison of HADS score between patients before and after surgery showed that the improvement of mental status was not obvious in the postoperative patients.The scores of HADS between patients before surgery and after hospital showed that the improvement of mental status was obvious (t=-2.809, P=0.01; t=-3.828, P=0.003). There were significant differences in HADS anxiety and depression-related factors between different periods (F=7.644,P=0.001;F=6.442,P=0.002);Before surgery,patients with low anxiety and depression had higher scores in both emotional and physical functional dimensions, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t=7.882,5.847,6.870,7.262, P<0.05 or 0.01). The scores of the two groups were higher in the whole life quality dimension after surgery,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(t=3.640-7.931,P<0.01 or 0.01).There were significant differences in body function and psychological function scores between different periods(F=8.569, P=0.000; F=10.250, P=0.003). Conclusions Oral cancer patients have a higher level of anxiety and depression before and after surgery, and psychological status of patients with a certain impact on quality of life, it should be targeted for individual characteristics of patients with targeted care measures to improve the psychological status of patients,thereby improving the quality of life of patients.
