Objective:To explore the factors associated with the efficacy of high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in the treatment of neuropathic pain (NP) following spinal cord injury (SCI).Methods:This was a retrospective study of 89 SCI survivors with NP receiving high-frequency rTMS. Those with a ≥30% reduction in their Numeric Rating Scales (NRS) scores after 2 weeks of treatment were termed Responders ( n=36), with the others classified as non-responders ( n=53). Demographic data (gender, education level, age), SCI characteristics (injury etiology, injury severity, neurological injury level, injury duration), NP characteristics (pain type, pain intensity, analgesic use), functional assessment (Modified Ashworth Scale score, Spinal Cord Independence Measure score, Modified Barthel Index score, American Spinal Injury Association motor/sensory score) were collected. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was used for variable selection, followed by binary logistic regression to identify factors associated with treatment efficacy. Results:Among the 89 patients, 36 (40.4%) were Responders to high-frequency rTMS. Binary logistic regression revealed that those with a cervical spinal cord injury and/or spasticity and women were more likely to respond to high-frequency rTMS.Conclusions:Female gender, cervical spinal cord injury, and spasticity are independent factors predicting rTMS efficacy in treating SCI, with spasticity demonstrating the strongest association.

Abstract
In recent years, the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents has risen rapidly, posing a serious threat to their physical and mental health. To provide scientific, systematic, and standardized weight management guidance for overweight and obese children and adolescents, the study focuses on the core concept of healthy lifestyle intervention, integrates multidisciplinary expert opinions and research findings,and proposes a comprehensive multidisciplinary intervention framework covering scientific exercise intervention, precise nutrition and diet, optimized sleep management, and standardized psychological support. It calls for the establishment of a multi agent collaborative management mechanism led by the government, implemented by families, fostered by schools, initiated by individuals, optimized by communities, reinforced by healthcare, and coordinated by multiple stakeholders. Emphasizing a child and adolescent centered approach, the consensus advocates for comprehensive, multi level, and personalized guidance strategies to promote the internalization and maintenance of a healthy lifestyle. It serves as a reference and provides recommendations for the effective prevention and control of overweight and obesity, and enhancing the health level of children and adolescents.

Takeda G protein-coupled receptor 5(TGR5)is a bile acid receptor located on the surface of cell membrane,widely distributed in many tissues and cells in the body,and can be directly activated by most bile acids in vivo.TGR5 plays an important role in various physiological and pathophysiological processes,including cellular Ca2+transport,oxidative stress,cell proliferation,inflammatory responses,and mitochondrial metabolism,thereby maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis and vascular endothelial function,and inhibiting the progression of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis,myocardial hypertrophy,and cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction.Currently,with the gradual clinical application of numerous bile acid and bile acid derivatives drugs,it is necessary to further investigate the role of TGR5 in the cardiovascular system,which is an important basis for clinical application of these new drugs.This review discusses the relationship between TGR5 and cardiovascular system from five perspectives:TGR5's involvement in regulating macrophages,endothelial function,vascular smooth muscle cells,cardiomyocytes,and mitochondrial metabolism.It summarizes the recent research progress,aiming to provide the theoretical basis for TGR5 as a novel therapeutic target for cardiovascular diseases.

Objective:To analyze the dynamic changes of neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) during treatment with bortezomib-lenalidomide-dexamethasone (VRD) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM),and explore the relationship between NPAR value and short-term prognosis of MM patients. Method:The data of 80 MM patients who underwent VRD chemotherapy at Tangshan Workers Hospital from January 2019 to April 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. NPAR levels were measured before VRD chemotherapy (T0),and on the first day of the third (T1),sixth (T2),and eighth (T3) chemotherapy cycles. All patients were followed up for 1 year,with the recurrence,progression,or death occurring within 1 year after the completion of VRD treatment as the endpoint event. The patients were divided into a good prognosis group and a poor prognosis group based on the follow-up results. The changes in NPAR at T0,T1,T2,and T3 in the two groups were statistically analyzed. The restricted cubic spline method was used to analyzed the relationship between NPAR and adverse short-term prognosis in MM patients undergoing VRD chemotherapy. Results:Among the 80 MM patients,25 cases (31.25%) had poor short-term prognosis,including 19 cases (23.75%) of progression or recurrence,and 6 cases (7.50%) of all-cause mortality. The levels of neutrophils and NPAR in the poor prognosis group at T0,T1,T2 and T3 were higher than those in the good prognosis group at the same period,while the albumin levels in the poor prognosis group at T0,T1,and T2 were lower than those in the good prognosis group at the same period (P<0.05);There was no significant difference in albumin levels between the poor prognosis group and the good prognosis group at T3 (P>0.05). Within the poor prognosis group and the good prognosis group,the levels of neutrophils and NPAR decreased sequentially at T0,T1,T2,and T3,while the levels of albumin increased sequentially,and the differences between each stage were statistically significant (P<0.05). The restricted cubic spline model showed an approximate J-shaped curve between the risk of poor short-term prognosis and the pre-treatment NPAR level in MM patients (P<0.05). If the pre-treatment NPAR>0.52,the risk of poor short-term prognosis in MM patients increased with the increase of NPAR value. Conclusion:After VRD treatment,the NPAR value of MM patients gradually decreases,and there is a correlation between the NPAR value before VRD treatment and the risk of poor prognosis after treatment. If NPAR>0.52 before treatment,the higher the NPAR value,the higher the risk of poor short-term prognosis in MM patients.

"Solid-liquid excipients" co-production is one of the typical processing methods of excipients used from ancient times to the present day, and is widely applied in various processing schools and regional specialty varieties. This method significantly reduces the toxicity of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), moderates medicinal properties, and enhances clinical efficacy. However, modern scientific research has given it limited attention, and many co-production methods of "solid-liquid excipients" have not been applied in production and practice. This paper reviewed the historical development of "solid-liquid excipients" co-production, outlined modern processing standards and methods in different processing schools, and further elaborated on the purposes and effects of this co-production method. This study is expected to provide references and evidence for further in-depth research, inheritance, innovation, and practical application.
