As a mature neuromodulation technique with sufficient evidence and wide application， transcranial magnetic stimulation （TMS） has become a highly promising approach for the treatment of insomnia disorder. However， there is still a lack of unified standards for formulation of treatment regimens， technical operations， indications and contraindications， treatment of adverse reactions， and application in special populations. In order to standardize the application of TMS in the diagnosis and treatment of insomnia disorder， Professional Committee of Sleep and Neuromodulation of Chinese Sleep Research Society organized the compilation of the technical specifications. This document systematically elaborates on the technical principles and stimulation modes of TMS， summarizes the clinical evidence for its application in the treatment of primary insomnia disorder and comorbid conditions such as depression and cognitive impairment， clarifies the key points for formulating treatment regimens （including stimulation coils， targets， modes， and intensity）， refines the technical specifications such as treatment room setup， personnel qualifications， operation procedures， and efficacy evaluation， and provides recommendations for the management of adverse reactions and principles for use in special populations， which provides a comprehensive expert consensus and practical guidance for the standardized clinical application of TMS in the treatment of insomnia disorder.

AIM: To investigate expression differences and mechanism of action of serine/threonine kinase 1(AKT1), ATP synthase F1 subunit(ATP5F1), and Bcl-2-associated anti-apoptotic gene 3(BAG3)in the occurrence and progression of pterygium.METHODS:Pterygium-related gene expression data were retrieved from GEO database to screen differentially expressed genes(DEGs). String and Cytoscape were used to construct protein-protein interaction(PPI)networks and identify core targets. GO/KEGG enrichment analyzed mitochondrial metabolic pathways. The pterygium samples(head/body)were collected; pathological features were evaluated by HE staining, and the expression of AKT1, ATP5F1, and BAG3 was detected via immunohistochemistry(IHC).RESULTS:A total of 1 264 DEGs were identified(585 upregulated, 679 downregulated). GO analysis showed significant enrichment of mitochondrial pathways regarding to biological processes, cell components and molecular functions; KEGG analysis highlighted oxidative phosphorylation and chemical carcinogenesis-reactive oxygen species(ROS)pathways. The head and body pterygium samples were collected from 28 cases(28 eyes)that received pterygium surgery, including 7 males(7 eyes)and 21 females(21 eyes), with a mean age of 69.32±8.98 years. HE staining showed more severe dysplasia, disordered stroma, and inflammation in the pterygium head versus the body. IHC detection confirmed significantly lower AKT1, ATP5F1, and BAG3 expression in the head compared with the body(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION:GEO-based bioinformatics and experiments confirmed that AKT1/ATP5F1/BAG3(mitochondrial genes)had significant differential expression in pterygium, correlating with pathological progression. They may regulate mitochondrial metabolism to mediate pterygium progression, offering new insights for targeted therapy.

ObjectiveTo analyze the effects of the progestin-primed ovarian stimulation （PPOS） protocol on embryo euploidy rate and clinical pregnancy outcomes in infertile patients. MethodsWomen who underwent Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy （PGT-A） cycles were selected as study participants （a total of 656 cycles and 3 081 blastocysts）. Participants were divided into two age groups （≤35 years and >35 years） and further stratified by ovarian stimulation protocol： the Progestin-Primed Ovarian Stimulation （PPOS） group （n=48 and 60， respectively）， the Luteal Phase Long Protocol （LP） group （n=160 and 57， respectively）， and the Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Antagonist Protocol （AP） group （n=220 and 111， respectively）. Baseline characteristics， ovarian stimulation outcomes， and embryo development parameters were compared among the three protocols within each age group. Additionally， clinical pregnancy outcomes of the first frozen embryo transfer （FET） cycle were compared. The primary outcome measure was the embryo euploidy rate. Results① In the ≤35 years age group， baseline follicle-stimulating hormone （bFSH） levels were significantly higher in the PPOS group compared to the LP and AP groups， and the bFSH/bLH ratio was significantly higher in the PPOS group than in the AP group （P < 0.05）. In the >35 years age group， bFSH levels in both the PPOS and AP groups were significantly higher than in the LP group （P < 0.05）.② In the ≤35 years group， there were no significant differences in the rates of metaphase II （MII） oocytes， 2-pronuclei （2 PN） zygotes， cleavage， 2 PN cleavage， blastocyst formation， high-quality embryos， or embryo euploidy between the PPOS group and either the LP or AP groups. However， the PPOS group showed significantly lower values for the following parameters compared to the other two groups： total oocytes retrieved， number of MII oocytes， number of 2 PN zygotes， number of cleaved embryos， number of 2 PN cleaved embryos， number of blastocysts formed， number of high-quality embryos， number of high-grade blastocysts， number of transferable embryos， number of cryopreserved embryos， number of biopsied blastocysts， number of euploid embryos， and the rate of obtaining at least one euploid embryo. In the >35 years group， no significant differences were observed among the PPOS， LP， and AP groups in the rates of MII oocytes， 2 PN cleavage， blastocyst formation， or in the number of euploid embryos， euploidy rate， and the rate of obtaining at least one euploid embryo. However， the PPOS group had significantly lower numbers of total oocytes retrieved， MII oocytes， 2 PN zygotes， cleaved embryos， 2 PN cleaved embryos， blastocysts formed， transferable embryos， and cryopreserved embryos compared to the LP group （P<0.05）. The high-quality embryo rate was significantly lower in the PPOS group than in the AP group （P<0.05）. The numbers of high-quality embryos， high-grade blastocysts， and biopsied blastocysts were significantly lower in the PPOS group than in both the LP and AP groups （P<0.05）. Notably， the 2 PN fertilization rate was significantly higher in the PPOS group than in the AP group， and the cleavage rate was significantly higher in the PPOS group than in both the LP and AP groups （P<0.05）.③ No significant differences were found among the three groups in the biochemical pregnancy rate， clinical pregnancy rate， live birth rate， early miscarriage rate， and late miscarriage rate following the first FET cycle. ConclusionCompared to the other two protocols， the PPOS protocol does not significantly affect embryo euploidy or clinical pregnancy rates. However， in freeze-all cycles with PGT-A， the PPOS protocol does not reduce the rate of chromosomally normal embryos but may decrease the total number of available embryos. It may not be the optimal choice for younger women， but it can be considered as a viable option for women of advanced maternal age.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics, diagnostic key points, and treatment strategies of penile metastatic extramedullary plasmacytoma(EMP). Case Report A 47-year-old male patient presented with a painless indurated nodule on the dorsal side of the penis and had a previous history of plasmacytoma in the nasal cavity and tibia. He subsequently underwent complete excision of the penile lesion. Postoperative histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of anaplastic plasmacytoma. Immunohistochemical analysis showed positive staining of CD138, CD38, MUM1, and CD79a, with Ki-67(+60%). Light chain restriction was also identified. No local recurrence or distant metastasis was observed during the 5-month follow-up. Conclusion Metastatic EMP of the penis is an extremely rare condition, and the diagnosis relies on pathological examinations combined with immunohistochemical analysis. Surgical resection can be an effective treatment modality for localized lesions;however, long-term follow-up is essential to monitor disease progression.

BACKGROUND:Cannabidiol has anti-inflammatory,antioxidant,and other pharmacological effects,and has no mental activity,so the research in liver disease is increasing day by day,but its effect on transforming growth factor-β1/Smad signal transduction pathway in hepatic stellate cells is not clear.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of cannabidiol on transforming growth factor-β1/Smad signal transduction pathway in hepatic stellate cells and its possible mechanism of anti-hepatic fibrosis.METHODS:(1)In vitro experiment:Rat hepatic stellate cell line(HSC-T6)was selected and cultured in six groups.The control group was routinely cultured for 24 hours.The simple drug group was cultured with cannabidiol for 24 hours.The modeling group was cultured with transforming growth factor β1 for 24 hours.The modeling+low-dose drug group,the modeling+high-dose drug group,and the modeling+positive control group were cultured with transforming growth factor β1 for 24 hours,1,5 μmol/L cannabidiol and silymarin were cultured for 24 hours.After culture,the mRNA expression of α-smooth muscle actin and type Ⅰ collagen,the levels of interleukin 1β and tumor necrosis factor α,and the protein expression of type Ⅰ collagen and transforming growth factor β1/Smad signal transduction pathway were detected in each group.(2)In vivo experiments:C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into five groups with eight mice in each group.Models were not established in the sham operation group.The liver fibrosis models were established by biliary ligation in the modeling group,the modeling+low-dose drug group,the modeling+high-dose drug group,and the modeling+positive control group.At 3 weeks after the modeling,4,8 mg/kg cannabidiol or silymarin were injected intraperitoneally,once a day,for 7 consecutive days.After administration,the liver function,liver pathological morphology,expression levels of α-smooth muscle actin,type Ⅰ collagen,and transforming growth factor β1/Smad signal transduction pathway related protein were detected in each group.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)In vitro experiment:Compared with the control group,mRNA expression of α-smooth muscle actin and type Ⅰ collagen,interleukin 1β and tumor necrosis factor α,and protein expression of type Ⅰ collagen,transforming growth factor β1 and p-Smad2/3 in HSC-T6 cells were increased(P<0.05),while Smad7 protein expression was decreased(P<0.05)in the modeling group.Two doses of cannabidiol could improve the above changes in HSC-T6 cells induced by transforming growth factor β1,and the improvement was more obvious in the modeling+high-dose drug group.(2)In vivo experiment:Compared with sham operation group,the activities of serum alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase were increased(P<0.05),inflammatory cell infiltration and collagen content in liver tissue were increased(P<0.05),and the transforming growth factor β1/Smad signal transduction pathway was activated;α-smooth muscle actin and type Ⅰ collagen expression levels were increased(P<0.05)in the modeling group.Two doses of cannabidiol could reduce the changes of the above indexes in the modeling mice,and the effect was more obvious in the modeling+high-dose drug group.(3)It is indicated that cannabidiol inhibits hepatic fibrosis by suppressing the activation of transforming growth factor-β1/Smad signal transduction pathway in hepatic stellate cells.

Objective:To investigate the distribution and clinical significance of amniotic fluid karyotype results in 2 725 cases from southern Anhui.Methods:The karyotypes of amniotic fluid from 2 725 cases of second-trimester pregnant women treated in our hospital from Jan 2017 to Dec 2023 were collected.The annual abnormal detection rate and overall abnormal rate were analyzed.Meanwhile,the abnormal detection rate was compared among 8 groups of different clinical indication including adverse pregnancy history,advanced maternal age(≥35 years),high risk of Down syndrome screening,high risk of non-invasive prenatal testing(NIPT),nuchal translucency thickness(NT)≥2.5 mm,abnormal ultrasound findings,two or more concurrent positive indications,and others.The abnormal detection rate was calculated within high risk of Down syndrome screening and NIPT.Results:Significant differences in annual abnormal rates were observed from 2017 to 2023(χ2=19.705,P=0.003).Among 2 725 cases,233(8.55%)showed abnormal karyotypes.Among them,abnormal autosomal number was the most prevalent(4.41%,120/2 725),with inversion being the most common chromosome structural abnormality.Significant differences in abnormal rates were noted among the eight clinical indication groups(χ2=438.516,P＜0.01).No statistical difference was found in abnormal detection rates among the three high-risk subgroups of Down syndrome screening(χ2=0.323,P=0.851),while significant differences were observed within the high-risk subgroups of NIPT(χ2=100.901,P＜0.01).Polymorphisms were detected in 65 cases(2.38%).Conclusions:Chromosomal numerical and structural abnormalities have been detected in southern Anhui over the past seven years,with variations across subgroups.Karyotype analysis effectively detects second-trimester fetal chromosomal abnormalities,aiding in the prevention of birth defects and worthing clinical application.

Objective To explore the clinical value of high frequency ultrasound combined with dermoscopy in preoperative evaluation of cutaneous malignant tumors.Methods A total of 323 patients with suspected cutaneous malignant tumors were selected from Jinhua Municipal Central Hospital from January 2022 to December 2023.The clinical value of high frequency ultrasound,dermoscopy and their combined examination in preoperative diagnosis of cutaneous malignant tumors were analyzed and compared.Results A total of 323 patients with suspected cutaneous malignant tumors,223 patients with confirmed cutaneous malignant tumors by skin pathology,234 skin lesions,and 100 patients with benign skin tumors were included.141 skin lesions were detected by dermoscopy,195 skin lesions by high frequency ultrasound,and 213 skin lesions by the combination of dermoscopy and high frequency ultrasound.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of high frequency ultrasound combined with dermoscopy in diagnosis of cutaneous malignant tumors were 87.6％,92.0％and 88.9％,respectively,which was higher than that of single high frequency ultrasound and single dermoscopy.The diagnosis results of dermoscopy combined with high frequency ultrasound were in good agreement with the pathological results(kappa=0.75).Conclusion Dermoscopy and high frequency ultrasound are convenient,non-invasive and sensitive imaging methods for skin detection.They can balance resolution and depth of detection,reveal morphological information of tumors,and predict the risk of tumor recurrence.

Gastric cancer is a malignant tumor of the digestive system with strong invasiveness and a high metastasis rate.Its morbidity and mortality rank among the top five in the world and the prognosis is closely related to the disease stage.Multidisciplinary comprehensive treatment based on systemic antitumor drugs is generally adopted in patients with advanced or metastatic gastric can-cer,but the prognosis is typically poor.With the in-depth research on the tumor microenvironment,the development of multi-omics technology,and the application of immunotherapy and neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy,the therapeutic effect of advanced gastric can-cer has been initially improved,and immunotherapy has become the most potential of the treatment strategies.Many studies have found that Helicobacter pylori(Hp)infection status is closely related to the efficacy of immunotherapy for gastric cancer,especially im-mune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs),but there is not clear whether it has advantages or disadvantages.This article reviews the current research on the efficacy of Hp on ICIs in advanced gastric cancer to provide ideas for further research on the interaction between Hp in-fection and tumor immunotherapy.
