The core aberrant behaviors of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are primarily manifested as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, which are closely associated with specific neuropathological features.Virtual reality (VR) technology, leveraging its immersive, interactive, and customizable properties, demonstrates potential in ameliorating the abnormal behavioral manifestations of individuals with ADHD. This article aims to synthesize existing evidence from neurobiological mechanism research and explore the therapeutic efficacy of VR interventions in improving abnormal behavioral presentations in ADHD patients. An evidence-integrated framework posits that: (1) VR enhances inhibitory control and working memory by promoting neural plasticity remodeling within key brain regions through highly contextualized simulation tasks, thereby optimizing functional connectivity.(2) VR reduces attentional lapses and impulsive behaviors by regulating the dynamic interplay efficiency among the default mode network, executive control network, and salience network.(3) VR elevates motivational levels and cognitive flexibility by dynamically modulating dopaminergic-noradrenergic system homeostasis, synergizing with brain-derived neurotrophic factor mediated synaptic plasticity. Delving deeper into these underlying mechanisms will facilitate the optimization of multi-target VR intervention design and provide novel insights for personalized behavioral therapy in ADHD.

Obstructive sleep apnea(OSA)is a dis-order characterized by chronic intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation,usually manifested by ob-struction of the upper respiratory tract,resulting in sleep fragmentation,intermittent hypoxia,and hy-percapnia.OSA and significant comorbidities are as-sociated with perioperative complications.Opioids,as the most commonly used pain relievers,may fur-ther affect perioperative pain management in OSA and comorbidities.Studies have shown that OSA patients are more susceptible to the respiratory de-pressant effects of opioids.OSA also increases the risk of opioid-induced respiratory depression.There-fore,understanding the effects and mechanisms of opioids on OSA has important clinical significance for optimizing drug use,improving prognosis,and reducing respiratory adverse events.This article aims to review the effects of opioids on OSA and their relationship.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the incidence and influencing factors of emergence agitation (EA) after general anesthesia in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery.Methods:Literature on EA after general anesthesia in adult patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery was electronically retrieved from PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP, and China Biology Medicine disc. The search period was from the establishment of the database to June 1, 2024. Two researchers independently screened literature, extracted data, conducted quality assessments, and used RevMan 5.3 to perform the Meta-analysis.Results:A total of 22 studies were included, involving 16 853 patients. Meta-analysis indicated that the incidence of EA after general anesthesia in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery was 18.00%. Advanced age, male, high anesthesia grade, obesity, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, preoperative anxiety, preoperative benzodiazepine use, high preoperative leukocyte, low preoperative serum albumin, prolonged operative time, intraoperative hypothermia, type of surgery, inhalation anesthesia, hypoxemia during emergence, pain during emergence, indwelling urinary catheter, and indwelling drainage tube were risk factors for EA ( P<0.05). The use of dexmedetomidine during surgery and analgesic pump after surgery were protective factors for EA ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The EA in patients undergoing general anesthesia for non-cardiac surgery is the result of multiple factors acting together. Clinical healthcare providers should enhance their ability to identify risk factors for EA and implement targeted interventions at an early stage to improve the quality of patient awakening and clinical outcomes.

This article reports a rare case of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) with renal involvement complicated by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). The patient appeared increased serum creatinine 20 d after allo-HSCT, and gradually appeared hypertension, oliguria and edema. Despite discontinuing suspected medications, serum creatinine level did not decrease. Treatment with basiliximab and mycophenolate mofetil was initiated to prevent rejection, leading to gradual normalization of urine output and serum creatinine level. However, after stopping mycophenolate mofetil, the patient experienced recurrent increased blood pressure and decreased pulse oximetry, responding well to prednisone but recurring upon cessation, with gradually increased serum creatinine level. Renal pathology indicated that chronic TMA after allo-HSCT caused renal injury, primarily affecting the glomeruli. The renal function achieved long-term stability through low-dose prednisone and symptomatic treatment. By reviewing relevant literature, we discussed the clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, pathological features and treatment strategies of TMA with renal involvement complicated by allo-HSCT.

Objective:To investigate the value of triglyceride glucose index(TyG)and monocyte to high-density lipoprotein choles-terol ratio(MHR)in the diagnosis of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD)complicated by heart fail-ure(HF),as well as the correlation of TyG and MHR with cardiac function in AECOPD patients.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 298 AECOPD patients who were admitted to The First Hospital of Lanzhou University from January 2020 to December 2021,and according to the clinical manifestation,B-type natriuretic peptide/N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide precursor,and echocardiography,the 298 AECOPD patients were divided into HF group with 127 patients and non-HF group with 171 patients.Related clinical indicators were compared between the two groups,and a regression analysis was used to identify the pos-sible risk factors for HF in AECOPD patients.The receiver operat-ing characteristic(ROC)curve analysis was used to investigate the value of TyG and MHR alone or in combination in the diagnosis of AECOPD complicated by HF,and a correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation of TyG and MHR with cardiac function parameters(ejection fraction,ventricular wall thickness,cardiac chamber size,and valve regurgitation velocity)and pulmonary artery pressure in AECOPD patients.Results:The binary logistic regres-sion analysis showed that fasting blood glucose,absolute monocyte count,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),arrhythmia,TyG,and MHR were independent risk factors for HF in AECOPD patients,and the HF group had significantly higher levels of TyG and MHR than the non-HF group(P<0.001).TyG had an area under the ROC curve(AUC)of 0.805(95%CI=0.754-0.856,P<0.001)in the diagnosis of AECOPD complicated by HF,and MHR had an AUC of 0.762(95%CI=0.707-0.817,P<0.001),while TyG combined with MHR had an AUC of 0.870(95%CI=0.828-0.912,P<0.001).The correlation analysis showed that TyG was negatively correlated with left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular fractional shortening and was positively correlated with end-diastolic interven-tricular septal thickness,mitral regurgitation velocity,and left ventricular end-diastolic posterior wall thickness,while MHR was nega-tively correlated with left ventricular stroke volume and left ventricular fractional shortening and was positively correlated with end-diastolic interventricular septal thickness,right ventricular anteroposterior diameter,right ventricular superior-inferior diameter,right ventricular transverse diameter,tricuspid regurgitation velocity,left ventricular end-diastolic posterior wall thickness,and pulmonary artery pressure.Conclusion:Fasting blood glucose,absolute monocyte count,HDL-C,arrhythmia,TyG,and MHR are independent risk factors for AECOPD complicated by HF.Both TyG and MHR have a certain value in the diagnosis of HF,and the combination of TyG and MHR has a better efficacy than each indicator alone in the diagnosis of AECOPD complicated by HF.TyG is correlated with the cardiac function parameters such as left ventricular ejection fraction,ventricular wall thickness,and mitral regurgitation velocity in patients with AECOPD and may have a stronger correlation with the left ventricle;MHR is correlated with right ventricular chamber size,tricuspid regurgitation velocity,and pulmonary artery pressure and may have a stronger correlation with the right ventricle.
