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.

Bladder tumor is a common tumor in the urinary system, posing a serious threat to patients’ health and quality of life. The standard surgical method for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer is the transurethral resection of bladder tumor. As a new type of minimally invasive treatment, transurethral holmium laser has shown unique advantages in the treatment of bladder tumors. This work introduces the epidemiological characteristics of bladder tumors and the limitations of traditional treatment methods and elaborates on the technical principles, development history of holmium laser and its application status in the treatment of bladder tumors. By analyzing clinical research data, it compares therapeutic effects between holmium laser and other treatment methods. It also presents the key points of surgical techniques, perioperative management strategies, and measures for the prevention and treatment of complications. This research discusses the current technical challenges and future development directions in holmium laser treatment, providing references for clinical practice and research.

Room temperature stored platelets are associated with a higher risk of sepsis and related fatality. The risk of bacterial contamination of platelets is a leading risk of infection from blood transfusion. U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently issued a guidance on bacterial risk control strategies for blood collection establishments and transfusion services to enhance the safety and availability of platelets for transfusion. The prevention and control strategies in the guidance would be informative and instructive for further development of risk control strategies of platelet bacterial contamination in China.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors associated with post-prematurity respiratory disease (PPRD) in very preterm infants.Methods:A prospective cohort study was conducted, enrolling 369 very preterm infants who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, within one week of birth from January 2019 to June 2023. Data on maternal and infant clinical characteristics, neonatal morbidities, and treatments during hospitalization were collected. The very preterm infants were divided into 2 groups based on whether they developed PPRD. Continuous variables were compared using Mann-Whitney U test, while categorical variables were compared using χ2 tests or continuity correction χ2 test. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent risk factors for PPRD in very preterm infants. Results:Among the 369 very preterm infants, 217 cases(58.8%) were male, with a gestational age of 30 (28, 31) weeks at birth and a birth weight of 1 320 (1 085, 1 590) g. Of these, 116 cases (31.4%) developed PPRD, while 253 cases (68.6%) did not. The very preterm infants in the PPRD group had a lower gestational age and lower birth weight (both, P<0.001). The PPRD group also had a higher proportion of males, lower Apgar scores at the 1 th minute after birth and the 5 th minutes after birth, a higher rate of born via cesarean delivery, and a higher incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, more pulmonary surfactant treatment, longer durations of mechanical ventilation, longer total oxygen therapy, and lower Z-score for weight at discharge (all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that gestational age ( OR=0.85, 95% CI 0.73-0.99, P=0.037), born via cesarean delivery ( OR=2.23, 95% CI 1.21-4.10, P=0.010), a duration of mechanical ventilation ≥7 days ( OR=2.51, 95% CI 1.43-4.39, P=0.001), and a Z-score for weight at discharge ( OR=0.82, 95% CI 0.67-0.99, P=0.040) were all independent risk factors for PPRD in very preterm infants. Conclusion:Very preterm infants with a small gestational age, born via cesarean section, mechanical ventilation ≥7 days, and a low Z-score for weight at discharge should be closely monitored for PPRD, and provided with standardized respiratory management after discharge.

BACKGROUND:Psoralen has a strong anti-osteoporotic activity and may have a restorative effect on chemotherapy-induced osteoporosis. OBJECTIVE:To explore the restorative effect of psoralen on the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in mice inhibited by cyclophosphamide and its mechanism. METHODS:C57BL/6 mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated and cultured.Effect of psoralen on viability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells was detected by MTT assay.Osteogenic induction combined with alkaline phosphatase staining was used to determine the optimal dose of psoralen to restore the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells inhibited by cyclophosphamide.The mRNA expression levels of Runx2,alkaline phosphatase,Osteocalcin,osteoprotegerin,and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway-related genes Wnt1,Wnt4,Wnt10b,β-catenin,and c-MYC were measured by RT-qPCR at different time points under the intervention with psoralen.The protein expression of osteogenic specific transcription factor Runx2 and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway related genes Active β-catenin,DKK1,c-MYC,and Cyclin D1 was determined by western blot assay at different time points under the intervention with psoralen. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)There was no significant effect of different concentrations of psoralen on the viability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.The best recovery of the inhibition of osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells caused by cyclophosphamide was under the intervention of psoralen at a concentration of 200 μmol/L.(2)Psoralen reversed the reduction in osteogenic differentiation marker genes Runx2,alkaline phosphatase,Osteocalcin and osteoprotegerin mRNA expression and Runx2 protein expression in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells caused by cyclophosphamide conditioned medium.(3)Psoralen reversed the decrease in Wnt/β-catenin pathway-related genes Wnt4,β-catenin,c-MYC mRNA and Active β-catenin,c-MYC,and Cyclin D1 protein expression and the increase in DKK1 protein expression in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells caused by cyclophosphamide conditioned medium.(4)The results showed that cyclophosphamide inhibited osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in mice,and psoralen had a restorative effect on it.The best intervention effect was achieved at a concentration of 200 μmol/L psoralen,and this protective effect might be related to the activation of Wnt4/β-catenin signaling pathway by psoralen.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors and their diagnostic efficacy of perioperative lower limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in polytrauma patients with predominant severe limb trauma.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 155 polytrauma patients with predominant severe trauma who were admitted to Wuxi Ninth People′s Hospital from January 2021 to December 2024, including 64 males and 91 females, aged 13-95 years [(52.1±16.9)years]. Abbreviated injury scale (AIS) was 5-15 points [(7.4±2.1)points] and injury severity score (ISS) was 17-59 points [(21.3±6.5)points]. Based on the occurrence of DVT in the perioperative period, the patients were divided into preoperative DVT group with 17 patients (11.0%) and non-preoperative DVT group with 138 patients (89.0%) as well as postoperative DVT group with 24 patients (15.5%) and non-postoperative DVT group with 131 patients (84.5%). Basic clinical data were collected, including gender, age, body mass index (BMI), underlying diseases (hypertension, diabetes mellitus), hemoglobin level (Hb), platelet count (PLT), D-dimer, ISS, trauma site [cranial and brain trauma, thoracic and abdominal trauma, upper limb trauma, lower limb trauma (femoral fracture, patellar fracture, tibial or fibular fracture, foot fracture, vascular injury), and pelvic fracture], preoperative waiting time for surgery, surgical site (pelvis and lower limb, other areas), surgical protocols (pelvic and lower limb internal fixation, external fixation of lower limb, lower limb amputation), operation duration less or more than 2 hours, amount of intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative blood transfusion requirement, venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis (pharmacological and mechanical modalities) and length of hospital stay. Univariate analysis and multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis were conducted to investigate the correlation between the aforementioned indicators and incidence of perioperative lower limb DVT in polytrauma patients with predominant severe limb trauma and determine the independent risk factors. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under the curve (AUC) of the relevant risk factors were analyzed to evaluate and compare the diagnostic efficacy of the risk factors for perioperative lower limb DVT in polytrauma patients with predominant severe limb trauma.Results:Univariate analysis results showed that age, history of hypertension, D-dimer, thoracic and abdominal trauma, pelvic fracture, preoperative waiting time for surgery, and length of hospital stay were significantly correlated with preoperative of DVT of the lower limbs in the patients ( P<0.05). The results of multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis showed that age ( OR=1.05, 95% CI 1.00, 1.10, P<0.05), pelvic fracture ( OR=5.03, 95% CI 1.09, 23.20, P<0.05), preoperative waiting time for surgery ( OR=1.10, 95% CI 1.00, 1.22, P<0.05) and length of hospital stay ( OR=0.89,95% CI 0.81,0.98, P<0.05) were highly correlated with preoperative DVT of the lower limbs in the patients ( P<0.05). Univariate analysis results showed that age, D-dimer, ISS, foot fracture, and length of hospital stay were significantly correlated with postoperative DVT of the lower limbs in the patients ( P<0.05). The results of multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis showed that age ( OR=1.05, 95% CI 1.01, 1.08, P<0.01), D-dimer ( OR=1.05, 95% CI 1.00, 1.10, P<0.05), ISS ( OR=1.09, 95% CI 1.01, 1.17, P<0.05), and foot fracture ( OR=3.51 , 95% CI 1.25 , 9.87 , P<0.05) were significantly correlated with postoperative DVT of the lower limbs in the patients ( P<0.05). The results of the ROC curve analysis indicated that preoperative waiting time for surgery (AUC=0.83, 95% CI 0.75, 0.91) had the highest diagnostic efficacy for preoperative DVT of the lower limbs in the patients, with the diagnostic efficacies of pelvic fracture (AUC=0.75, 95% CI 0.65, 0.85) and age (AUC=0.70, 95% CI 0.59, 0.82) decreasing successively. For postoperative DVT of the lower limbs in the patients, D-dimer (AUC=0.71, 95% CI 0.61, 0.81) exhibited the highest diagnostic efficacy, followed by age (AUC=0.70, 95% CI 0.59, 0.81), ISS (AUC=0.64, 95% CI 0.51, 0.76) and foot fracture (AUC=0.62, 95% CI 0.49, 0.74), with diagnostic efficacy decreased successively. Conclusions:For polytrauma patients with predominant severe limb trauma, age, pelvic fracture and preoperative waiting time for surgery are independent risk factors for preoperative DVT, while age, D-dimer, ISS and foot fracture are independent risk factors for postoperative DVT. Additionally, preoperative waiting time for surgery has the best diagnostic efficacy for preoperative DVT, followed by pelvic fracture and age. D-dimer has the best diagnostic efficacy for postoperative DVT, followed by age, ISS and foot fracture.

Objective To investigate the effects and mechanisms of high-fat diet(HFD)-induced obesity on male ze-brafish reproductive function.Methods Adult male zebrafish were divided into normal diet(ND)group and HFD group.Growth and metabolic conditions were evaluated by measuring body weight,body length,BMI,organ index,and glucose/lipid lev-els.Reproductive capacity was assessed via sperm concentration,motility,fertilization rate,and testosterone levels.Testicular tissues from both of groups were subjected to transeriptomic sequencing(RNA-seq).And qRT-PCR was used to validate the expression of genes.Results Compared to male zebrafish in ND group,the ones in HFD group exhibited hepatic steatosis and glucose/lipid meta-bolic disorders(P<0.05).Testicular structural disorganization,along with reduced testosterone levels,decreased gonadosomatic in-dex,and impaired sperm concentration and motility occurred in HFD group(P<0.05).GO analysis revealed that differentially ex-pressed genes were enriched in spermatogenesis and ciliary system,while KEGG analysis highlighted metabolic related pathways(pu-rine metabolism,thyroid hormone synthesis,mTOR signaling)and cell adhesion molecules.Twenty key differentially expressed genes were validated by qRT-PCR,which confirmed the reliability of RNA-Seq results.Conclusion Impairment of reproductive function induced by HFD in zebrafish may be associated with three regulatory mechanisms including ciliary system,metabolic dysregulation,and aberrant cell adhesion molecule signaling.This study provides mechanistic insights and identifies potential therapeutic targets for clinical management of diet-associated infertility.
