This paper comprehensively compares the Kawasaki disease (KD) guidelines from seven countries/regions, including China, Argentina, Europe, Italy, Japan, Spain, and the United States, as retrieved from the PubMed database. It analyzes the similarities and differences in KD diagnosis and treatment among these guidelines. The results show that all guidelines consistently recommend a single infusion of immunoglobulin at a dosage of 2 g/kg as the first-line treatment for KD, and none advocate for the routine use of methylprednisolone or prednisone as standalone first-line treatment options for KD. However, there are some differences among the guidelines regarding classification, diagnostic criteria, and specific treatment methods for KD. Therefore, it is essential to further strengthen international collaboration in guideline development and conduct multicenter clinical research in the future, aiming to achieve a higher level of expert consensus, thereby promoting the enhancement of KD diagnosis and treatment.

ObjectiveTo construct a group-based trajectory model (GBTM) for early medication adherence check-in, and to analyze the relationship between different trajectories and treatment outcomes in tuberculosis patients using data that were generated from smart tools for monitoring their medication adherence and check-in. MethodsFrom October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023, a total of 163 pulmonary tuberculosis patients diagnosed in Fengxian District were selected as the study subjects. The GBTM was utilized to analyze the weekly active check-in trajectories of the subjects during the first 4 weeks and establish different trajectory groups. The χ² tests were employed to compare the differences between groups and logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore the relationship between different trajectory groups and treatment outcomes. ResultsA total of four groups were generated by GBTM analyses, of which a low level of punch card was maintained in group A, 6% of the drug users increased rapidly from a low level in group B, 17% of drug users increased gradually from a low level in group C, and 18% of drug users maintained a high level of punch card in group D. The trajectory group was divided into two groups according to homogeneity, namely the low level medication punch card group (group A) and the high level medication punch card group (group B, group C, and group D). The results of multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that low-level medication check-in (OR=3.250, 95%CI: 1.089‒9.696), increasing age (OR=1.030, 95%CI: 1.004‒1.056), and not undergoing sputum examination at the end of the fifth month (OR=2.746, 95%CI: 1.090‒7.009) were significantly associated with poor treatment outcomes. ConclusionThe medication check-in trajectory of pulmonary tuberculosis patients within the first 4 weeks is correlated with adverse outcomes, or namely consistent low-level medication adherence check-ins are associated with poor treatment outcomes, while high-level medication adherence check-ins are associated with a lower incidence of adverse outcomes.

Objective: To explore the key factors affecting the selection and effectiveness of bladder management modalities in patients with spinal cord injury，so as to provide reference for the optimization of individualized bladder management strategies. Methods: The clinical and follow-up data of 78 patients with spinal cord injury treated in our hospital during Jan.1,2013 and Dec.31,2022 were retrospectively analyzed.The distribution of bladder management modalities among different grades of injuries was analyzed. Bowker symmetry test was used to evaluate the difference between bladder management modalities at discharge and at the end of follow-up. Multiple linear regression was used to explore the influencing factors of bladder management effects. Plotting Kaplan-Meier survival curves were adopted to calculate the median time of changes in bladder management. Results: At discharge，there were 9 cases of self-catheterization，19 cases of intermittent catheterization，22 cases of reflexive voiding，26 cases of long-term catheterization，and 2 cases using urinary collector.At the end of follow-up，there were 15 cases of self-catheterization，8 cases of intermittent catheterization，34 cases of reflexive voiding，14 cases of long-term catheterization，and 7 cases using urinary collector.There was a significant difference between the modalities of bladder management at discharge and at the end of follow-up (χ =21.43，P=0.018).Multiple linear regression showed a significant decrease of 8.60 in the total neurogenic bladder symptom score (NBSS) for grade D injuries compared with grade A injuries (P=0.026). The median time to bladder management change was 7.93 months (95%CI:5.44-9.44), with approximately 50% of patients experiencing a change in bladder management within 8 months after discharge. Conclusion: The modalities of bladder management changed significantly after discharge.The grade of injury was a key factor affecting the effectiveness of bladder management.Higher grade was associated with worse effectiveness of bladder management.

Objective: Previous observational studies have confirmed the correlation between gut microbiota and bladder cancer，but the causal relationship is still unclear.This study aimed to explore the causal relationship between them with Mendelian randomization. Methods: Genetic variation summary data of 211 gut microbiota and bladder cancer genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were obtained from the MiBioGen Consortium and Finngen database.Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) closely related to these studies were screened as instrumental variables.The causal relationship between gut microbiota and bladder cancer were analyzed with inverse variance weighting (IVW)，MR-Egger，weighted median，maximum likelihood，robust adjustment feature score and MR-PRESSO，with IVW as the primary analysis method.Additionally，sensitivity analysis was used to test the heterogeneity (Cochran Q) and horizontal pleiotropy (MR-Egger intercept term and global test from MR-PRESSO estimator) to ensure the robustness of the results. Results: The IVW results indicated that Lachnospiraceae UCG004 (OR：1.42)，Desulfovibrionales (Order) (OR：1.48)，Eubacterium ruminantium group (OR：1.33)，Olsenella (OR：1.24)，Ruminococcaceae UCG002 (OR：1.39)，Ruminococcaceae UCG005 (OR：1.42) and Ruminococcaceae UCG013 (OR：1.64) significantly increased the risk of bladder cancer.Conversely，Bacteroidetes (Phylum) (OR：0.61)，Eubacterium brachy group (OR：0.80)，Ruminococcaceae UCG004 (OR：0.73)，Rikenellaceae (Family) (OR：0.67)，Lachnospiraceae ND3007 group (OR：0.47), Adlercreutzia (OR：0.73) and an unknow genus (OR：0.75) were associated with a reduced risk of bladder cancer.Sensitivity analyses did not reveal any heterogeneity or horizontal pleiotropy. Conclusion: This study reveals the causal role of 14 gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of bladder cancer，among which Lachnospiraceae UCG004，Desulfovibrionales (Order)，Eubacterium ruminantium group，Olsenella，Ruminococcaceae UCG002，Ruminococcaceae UCG005 and Ruminococcaceae UCG013 are risk factors for bladder cancer，while Bacteroidetes (Phylum)，Eubacterium brachy group，Ruminococcaceae UCG004，Rikenellaceae (Family)，Lachnospiraceae ND3007 group，Adlercreutzia and an unknown genus are the protective factors.

ObjectiveRepetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has demonstrated efficacy in enhancing neurocognitive performance in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), but the neurobiological mechanisms linking synaptic pathology, neural oscillatory dynamics, and brain network reorganization remain unclear. This investigation seeks to systematically evaluate the therapeutic potential of rTMS as a non-invasive neuromodulatory intervention through a multimodal framework integrating clinical assessments, molecular profiling, and neurophysiological monitoring. MethodsIn this prospective double-blind trial, 12 AD patients underwent a 14-day protocol of 20 Hz rTMS, with comprehensive multimodal assessments performed pre- and post-intervention. Cognitive functioning was quantified using the mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and Montreal cognitive assessment (MOCA), while daily living capacities and neuropsychiatric profiles were respectively evaluated through the activities of daily living (ADL) scale and combined neuropsychiatric inventory (NPI)-Hamilton depression rating scale (HAMD). Peripheral blood biomarkers, specifically Aβ1-40 and phosphorylated tau (p-tau181), were analyzed to investigate the effects of rTMS on molecular metabolism. Spectral power analysis was employed to investigate rTMS-induced modulations of neural rhythms in AD patients, while brain network analyses incorporating topological properties were conducted to examine stimulus-driven network reorganization. Furthermore, systematic assessment of correlations between cognitive scale scores, blood biomarkers, and network characteristics was performed to elucidate cross-modal therapeutic associations. ResultsClinically, MMSE and MOCA scores improved significantly (P<0.05). Biomarker showed that Aβ1-40 level increased (P<0.05), contrasting with p-tau181 reduction. Moreover, the levels of Aβ1-40 were positively correlated with MMSE and MOCA scores. Post-intervention analyses revealed significant modulations in oscillatory power, characterized by pronounced reductions in delta (P<0.05) and theta bands (P<0.05), while concurrent enhancements were observed in alpha, beta, and gamma band activities (all P<0.05). Network analysis revealed frequency-specific reorganization: clustering coefficients were significantly decreased in delta, theta, and alpha bands (P<0.05), while global efficiency improvement was exclusively detected in the delta band (P<0.05). The alpha band demonstrated concurrent increases in average nodal degree (P<0.05) and characteristic path length reduction (P<0.05). Further research findings indicate that the changes in the clinical scale HAMD scores before and after rTMS stimulation are negatively correlated with the changes in the blood biomarkers Aβ1-40 and p-tau181. Additionally, the changes in the clinical scales MMSE and MoCA scores were negatively correlated with the changes in the node degree of the alpha frequency band and negatively correlated with the clustering coefficient of the delta frequency band. However, the changes in MMSE scores are positively correlated with the changes in global efficiency of both the delta and alpha frequency bands. Conclusion20 Hz rTMS targeting dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) significantly improves cognitive function and enhances the metabolic clearance of β-amyloid and tau proteins in AD patients. This neurotherapeutic effect is mechanistically associated with rTMS-mediated frequency-selective neuromodulation, which enhances the connectivity of oscillatory networks through improved neuronal synchronization and optimized topological organization of functional brain networks. These findings not only support the efficacy of rTMS as an adjunctive therapy for AD but also underscore the importance of employing multiple assessment methods—including clinical scales, blood biomarkers, and EEG——in understanding and monitoring the progression of AD. This research provides a significant theoretical foundation and empirical evidence for further exploration of rTMS applications in AD treatment.

Resistance training promotes protein synthesis and hypertrophy, enhancing strength of skeletal muscle through the activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and the subsequent increases of ribosome biogenesis and translation capacity. Recent studies indicate that resistance training has positive effects on physical fitness and illness treatment, yet the mechanisms underlying hypertrophic adaptation remain insufficiently understood. Human studies focused on the correlation between mTOR signals and hypertrophy-related protein production, while animal research demonstrated that mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) is the main regulator of resistance training induced-hypertrophy. A number of upstream factors of mTORC1 have been identified, while the downstream mechanisms involved in the resistance training induced-hypertrophy are rarely studied. mTORC1 regulates the activation of satellite cells, which fuse with pre-existing fibers and contribute to hypertrophic response to resistance training. This article reviews the research progress on the mechanism of skeletal muscle hypertrophy caused by resistance training, analyzes the role of mTOR-related signals in the adaptation of skeletal muscle hypertrophy, and aims to provide a basis for basic research on muscle improvements through resistance training.
