1.Differential diagnosis of restless legs syndrome
Journal of Apoplexy and Nervous Diseases 2025;42(3):221-226
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common neurological sensory-motor disorder, and the diagnosis of RLS mainly rely on the subjective clinical symptoms described by the patient, with a lack of specific auxiliary examinations or biomarkers. The diagnosis of this disease is still challenging for atypical cases. Various other diseases may have similar clinical symptoms as RLS, such as leg discomfort, leg pain and abnormal leg movement. This article summarizes the RLS mimics that might be confused with RLS symptoms, including the neurogenic, vascular, and musculoskeletal factors that might cause leg discomfort and pain, as well as the differential diagnosis of sleep-related movement disorders with symptoms overlapped with RLS, so as to help clinicians recognize RLS phenotype and provide a reference for the diagnosis of diseases that might be confused with RLS.

Objective To systematically evaluate the rehabilitation effect of immersive virtual reality technology for patients with peripheral vestibular dysfunction,and to provide theoretical basis and practical guidance for the design of efficient rehabilitation training programs.Methods PubMed,Embase,Cochrane Library,Web of Science,CINAHL,CNKI,Wanfang Database,VIP Database,and China Biomedical Literature Database were searched for randomized controlled trials on the intervention effect of immersive virtual reality technology in patients with peripheral vestibular dysfunction from inception to February 2025.RevMan5.4 software was used to perform meta-analysis of the literature that met the quality standards.Results A total of 10 papers with 491 patients with peripheral vestibular dysfunction were included.Meta-analysis showed that immersive virtual reality technology improved vertigo symptoms in patients with peripheral vestibular dysfunction compared with conventional vestibular rehabilitation care[SMD=-1.41,95%CI(-1.58,-0.70),P<0.001],and subgroup analysis showed that the frequency of intervention was<5 times/week[SMD=-1.31,95%CI=(-1.96,-0.66),P<0.001],single intervention duration<30 min[SMD=-1.45,95%CI=(-2.21,-0.70),P<0.001],and intervention period≤7 weeks[SMD=-1.49,95%CI(-2.04,-0.94),P<0.001]were more significant.Immersive virtual reality technology reduced the risk of falls[MD=4.66,95%CI(3.84,5.48),P<0.001],and improved anxiety and depression[SMD=2.65,95%CI(1.98,3.33),P<0.001].Conclusion Immer-sive virtual reality technology improves vertigo symptoms,reduces the risk of falls,and improves anxiety and depres-sion symptoms in patients with peripheral vestibular dysfunction,in which the intervention period of ≤7 weeks,<5 training sessions per week,and each training session of<30 min are better for improving vertigo symptoms in patients with peripheral vestibular dysfunction.

OBJECTIVE Exploring the specific changes in brain signal variability during healthy aging using functional near-infrared spectroscopy technology.METHODS Twenty-eight young adults and 30 elderly adults were included,and functional near-infrared spectroscopy was used to record the changes in brain blood oxygen and calculate the brain signal variability during the execution of visual-audio dual tasks.RESULTS The brain signal variability of the elderly group was significantly reduced when performing visual-audio dual tasks,especially in the bilateral dorsolateral prefrontal cortex,right Broca,bilateral primary somatosensory cortex,bilateral Wernicke area,bilateral frontopolar area,bilateral primary motor cortex,bilateral somatosensory association cortex,bilateral orbitofrontal area,bilateral pre-motor and supplementary motor cortex.The brain signal variability in the left primary somatosensory cortex(r=-0.385,P=0.043)and right primary somatosensory cortex(r=-0.386,P=0.042)of young adults was negatively correlated with visual reaction time;The brain signal variability in the right somatosensory association cortex(r=-0.371,P=0.044),left pre-motor and supplementary motor cortex(r=-0.393,P=0.032)of elderly adults was negatively correlated with visual reaction time.CONCLUSION Elderly individuals exhibit a significant reduction in neural signal variability within the prefrontal cortex and sensory related cortex,resulting in diminished neural dynamic adaptability that compromises behavioral performance during visual-audio dual tasks.

As China enters the aging era, the incidence rate and prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)in the elderly have increased.The relationship between aging and inflammation appears to be more significant in elderly individuals with IBD.However, most current studies focus on describing the clinical characteristics of the disease, with limited research on its pathogenesis and treatment.In this review, we summarize the differences in clinical characteristics and treatment between elderly individuals with IBD and young individuals.We also discuss the impact of aging on elderly IBD and explore the possibility of stem cell transplantation therapy as a new approach for clinical management.Our aim is to provide fresh insights for the treatment of elderly IBD.

Senior care workers specializing in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) healthcare have become an indispensable force in institutional care, community care, and home care. The first Chinese nursing service team aimed to improve the health of the elderly by providing continuous services for physical and mental well-being, disease prevention, physical amelioration, and overall health enhancement using TCM concepts, methods, and technologies. The primary purpose of formulating this TCM health and elderly care worker service specification was to standardize services within the TCM elderly care industry, ensuring that the elderly receive better health and elderly care services supported by technical expertise. This specification outlined the basic requirements for TCM health and elderly care workers, including standards for service content, service quality control, service evaluation, and improvement. It primarily focused on the content and requirements of TCM health and elderly care services, such as constitution identification, life care, acupoint healthcare, and TCM auxiliary nursing for elderly individuals with chronic diseases. This specification is applicable to TCM health and elderly care personnel at various levels of hospitals and healthcare institutions and is noted for its strong applicability and effectiveness.

Bamboo jar therapy of Zhuang medicine is a combination of cupping therapy,acupuncture and hot compress of medicine,which is simple,convenient and cost-effective.There are differences in the production of bamboo cans(species,acquisition cycle,diameter,tank length,wall thickness),liquid medicine,and operation process among different regions.These three aspects hinder its wide application and promotion.Therefore,it is particularly important to formulate unified practice standards and norms.Based on the combination of literature research and clinical experience,this paper proposes a standardized draft to respond to the above three perspectives.The authors would like to provide a reference for doctors to understand and master this therapy,so that patients can enjoy this therapy.
