In recent years， repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation （rTMS） has garnered significant attention as a therapeutic approach for sleep disorders in the elderly. However， the prevailing rTMS protocols are predominantly developed based on normative neurophysiological data derived from young adults and fail to incorporate individualized parameters tailored to the brain characteristics of the elderly. To address this gap， the consensus development group synthesized the latest evidence from 2010 to 2025 and established a standardized rTMS protocol specifically for elderly patients with sleep disorders. Adhering to the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II （AGREE II） framework， systematically screened randomized controlled trials （RCTs） and systematic reviews regarding rTMS in the treatment of sleep disorders across various conditions. Meanwhile， the Grading of Recommendations Assessment， Development and Evaluation （GRADE） system was employed to rigorously grade the quality of evidence and the strength of recommendations. This consensus guideline delineates precise rTMS protocols for the management of sleep disorders in the elderly， highlights the adjustment of stimulation intensity according to scalp-cortex distance recommends either MRI‑guided neuronavigation or the Beam F3/F4 heuristic approach for accurate target localization， thereby providing precise rTMS intervention protocol for sleep disorders in the elderly， aiming to enhance clinical efficacy while ensuring treatment safety. ［Funded by National Key Research and Development Program （number， 2023YFC3603200）； General Program of Shenzhen Science and Technology Innovation Commission （number， JCYJ20240813112859008， JCYJ20240813112900002）； Youth Program of Shenzhen Kangning Hospital （number， KN2023A004）； www.guidelines-registry.cn number， PREPARE-2026CN530］

Objective To understand the trends in availability and usage for four non-statin lipid-lowering drugs between 2020 and 2023 in China,and to explore the impact of centralized drug procurement and national drug price negotiation policy on the accessibility and utilization trends of these medications.Methods Data processing was performed on four non-statin lipid-lowering drugs(ezetimibe,hybutimibeh,evolocumab,alirocumab)from over 1 000 hospitals within the China Pharmaceutical Association network units from 2020 to 2023 was performed on.SPSS 27.0 was employed for descriptive statistical analysis and x2 tests regarding drug availability,sales revenue,defined daily dose system(DDDs),and cost per DDD(DDDc).Results The availability and DDDs of four cholesterol absorption inhibitors or PCSK9-mAbs increased year by year during the study period,with the most significant increase observed in the first year after centralized drug procurement or national drug price negotiation policy.After the national drug price negotiation policy,alirocumab had the highest availability among the three negotiated drugs.The sales volume of ezetimibe,which was included in the centralized drug procurement program,increased before the negotiation but decreased significantly afterwards,with its share of sales declining year by year.During the study period,the sales volumes and market shares of the three negotiated drugs all increased annually,with evolocumab showing notably higher sales values and percentages than both hybutimibe and alirocumab after the negotiation.The DDDc for all four drugs continued to decrease during the survey period,with the first-year post-centralized drug procurement or national drug price negotiation policy witnessing the largest drop.Conclusion Both of the centralized drug procurement and the national drug price negotiation policy can significantly increase the accessibility to non-statin lipid-lowering drugs and promote their clinical application,however,there is a mismatch between the growth in usage and accessibility for certain varieties.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in children with stage 4/M neuroblastoma (NB).Methods:This study was a prospective, single-arm, multicenter clinical trial conducted by Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, Children′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Children′s Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. From March, 2019 to August, 2023, 25 children with confirmed with stage 4/M NB and received allo-HSCT were enrolled. The patients received either unrelated cord blood transplantation (UCBT) or peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT). Conditioning regimens for UCBT was fludarabine+busulfan+cyclophosphamide+topotecan, and for PBSCT was fludarabine+busulfan+melphalan+thiotepa+antithymocyte globulin, respectively. Until the last follow-up date of September, 2023, the overall survival (OS) rate and event free survival (EFS) rate were analyzed to evaluate efficacy. The engraftment rate and transplant-related complications were statistically assessed to evaluate safety. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method.Results:Of the 25 patients, there were 15 males and 10 females. The age at transplantation was 5.7 (3.8, 7.3) years. The engraft rate was 100%, with recovery time of neutrophil as 15.7 (12.5, 17.0) d, and the recovery time of platelets as 33.5 (18.0, 48.0) d. Seventeen of the 25 children (68%) developed acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD), occurred at 18.0 (13.0, 22.5) d after transplantation, including 13 of grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ cases. The main sites of aGVHD were skin and intestinal tract. After treatment, 13 cases improved, 4 patients developed chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD). After allo-HSCT, 14 children received maintenance therapy. Twenty of the 25 patients survived, the 2-year cumulative OS rate was (80±9)%, and 2-year EFS rate was (56±11)%. Nine cases (36%) relapsed, the time from allo-HSCT to disease relapse was 10.9 (5.5, 16.0) months. Five cases (20%) died. The hematopoietic stem cell transplantation associated mortality rate was 4% (1/25).The 2-year OS rate of patients who had partial remission prior to allo-HSCT was significant lower than those who had complete remission prior to allo-HSCT ((33±25)% vs. 100%, P=0.037). Conclusion:allo-HSCT is an effective treatment for patients with stage 4/M NB.

The underlying cause of low response rates to existing immunotherapies is that tumor cells dominate tumor immune escape through surface antigen deficiency and inducing tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment (TIME). Here, we proposed an in situ tumor cell engineering strategy to disrupt tumor immune escape at the root by restoring tumor cell MHC-I/tumor-specific antigen complex (MHC-I/TSA) expression to promote T-cell recognition and by silencing tumor cell CD55 to increase the ICOSL⁺ B-cell proportion and reverse the TIME. A doxorubicin (DOX) and dual-gene plasmid (MAC pDNA, encoding both MHC-I/ASMTNMELM and CD55-shRNA) coloaded drug delivery system (LCPN@ACD) with tumor targeting and charge/size dual-conversion properties was prepared. LCPN@ACD-induced ICD promoted DC maturation and enhanced T-cell activation and infiltration. LCPN@ACD enabled effective expression of MHC-I/TSA on tumor cells, increasing the ability of tumor cell recognition and killing. LCPN@ACD downregulated tumor cell CD55 expression, increased the proportion of ICOSL⁺ B cells and CTLs, and reversed the TIME, thus greatly improving the efficacy of αPD-1 and CAR-T therapies. The application of this in situ tumor cell engineering strategy eliminated the source of tumor immune escape, providing new ideas for solving the challenges of clinical immunotherapy.

Postoperative infection of internal fixation of closed fractures the lower limbs in adults represents a devastating complication, characterized by diagnostic challenges, prolonged treatment duration and high disability rates. Current management of these infections faces multiple challenges, such as difficulties in early accurate diagnosis, and various controversies about the treatment plan, leading to poor overall diagnosis and treatment results. To address these issues, based on evidence-based medicine and principles with emphasis on scientific rigor, clinical applicability and innovation, the Trauma Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Orthopedics Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Trauma Orthopedics and Polytrauma Group of the Resuscitation and Emergency Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association have collaboratively organized a panel of relevant experts to develop the Guideline for diagnosis and treatment of infection after internal fixation of closed lower limb fractures in adults ( version 2025). The guideline proposed 10 recommendations, aiming to provide a foundation for standardized diagnosis and treatment of postoperative infection in adults with closed lower limb fractures.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To compare the palmar minimally invasive approach by a single incision versus palmar traditional approach for implantation of a locking plate in the treatment of distal radius fractures.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted of the 116 patients with distal radius fracture who had been treated with locking plates implanted through a palmar approach at Department of Traumatic Orthopedics, Wuxi Ninth People's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2022. There were 51 males and 65 females aged (57.0±10.6) years. According to the difference in palmar approach, they were divided into a traditional group of 65 cases treated with a traditional palmar approach and a minimally invasive group of 51 cases treated with a minimally invasive palmar approach through a single 1.5 cm incision. The surgical time, intraoperative bleeding, incision length, incision healing, fracture healing time, pain visual analogue scale (VAS) on the 1st and 7th days after surgery, range of motion and grip strength of the affected wrist, and imaging results at the last follow-up were recorded and compared between the 2 groups. The patient rated wrist evaluation (PRWE) and Gartland-Werley wrist evaluation were used to assess functional recovery of the wrist affected at the last follow-up.Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the baseline data between the 2 groups, indicating comparability ( P>0.05). All patients were followed-up for (13.6±2.1) months. All fractures healed. The intraoperative bleeding [(27.3±3.6) mL] in the minimally invasive group was significantly less than that in the traditional group [(41.2±6.8) mL], the incision length [(1.6±0.1) cm] in the former was significantly shorter than that in latter [(6.6 ± 0.6) cm], the postoperative VAS for pain on the 7th day after surgery [(1.8±0.8) points] and incidence of complications [2.0% (1/51)] in the former were significantly lower than those in the latter [(3.0±0.6) points, 12.3% (8/65)] ( P<0.05). However, the surgical time [(70.4±6.9) min] in the former was significantly longer than that in the latter [(67.2±8.0) min] ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups in terms of incision healing, fracture healing time, VAS for pain on the first postoperative day, wrist range of movement at the last follow-up, grip strength, PRWE score, Gartland-Werley functional recovery, fracture alignment, palm angle, ulnar deviation angle, and radial height at the last follow-up ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Both the palmar minimally invasive approach by a single incision and the traditional palmar approach are effective for implantation of a locking plate in the treatment of distal radius fractures. However, the minimally invasive palmar approach is superior to the traditional palmar approach in terms of incision aesthetics, intraoperative bleeding, surgical trauma response, surgical time and surgical risk.
