ObjectiveMigraine is a leading neurological disorder and the fourth most common cause of years lived with disability worldwide, affecting nearly 116 million individuals. Although pharmacological treatments are available, their efficacy is often limited by side effects and variable response rates. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) offers a safe, non-invasive alternative for migraine management. However, the neurophysiological mechanisms, particularly how rTMS modulates local cortical excitability and distributed pain-related circuits, remain poorly understood. Elucidating these mechanisms is essential for optimizing treatment protocols and improving clinical outcomes. MethodsThis study employed concurrent transcranial magnetic stimulation and electroencephalography (TMS-EEG) to investigate neuroplastic and neurocircuitry mechanisms of DLPFC-rTMS in migraine. Study 1 compared 30 migraineurs and 28 healthy controls to identify abnormalities in TMS-evoked potentials (TEPs) and significant current density (SCD) within sensory-discriminative regions including the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) and posterior insula (pINS), cognitive-affective regions including the anterior insula (aINS) and midcingulate cortex (MCC), and a descending modulatory region, the periaqueductal gray (PAG). Study 2 used a single-blind, crossover, sham-controlled design in 34 healthy participants. Each participant received both active (10 Hz, 80% RMT, 1 500 pulses) and sham DLPFC-rTMS in counterbalanced order. TMS-EEG and cold pain tolerance were assessed before and after each session. ResultsIn Study 1, migraineurs showed a significantly less negative N120 amplitude compared to healthy controls (P=0.027, Cohen’s d=0.60), indicating local intracortical disinhibition. No group differences were observed for N40, P60, or P180 components. At the source level, migraineurs exhibited significantly higher SCD in the S1, pINS, aINS, and MCC (allQ<0.05), but not in the ventroposterior thalamus (vpTHAL), mediodorsal thalamus (mdTHAL), or PAG. In Study 2, active rTMS significantly reduced SCD from pre- to post-stimulation in the S1, aINS, and MCC (all Q<0.05). Sham stimulation also reduced SCD in the S1 (Q<0.05) but not in the aINS or MCC. Although no significant group-level analgesic effect was observed between active and sham conditions (P=0.107), correlation analyses revealed that greater SCD reductions in the S1 and MCC were significantly associated with higher post-rTMS pain tolerance (R=-0.487 and -0.495, both Q<0.01) and larger improvements in pain tolerance(R=-0.487 and -0.451, both Q<0.05). No such correlations were found following sham stimulation, suggesting that the behavioural relevance of neural changes is specific to active rTMS. ConclusionThis study provides novel evidence that migraineurs exhibit both local neuroplastic abnormalities (reduced N120 amplitude) and hyperactivity in key pain-processing regions (S1, pINS, aINS, MCC). A single session of DLPFC-rTMS reduced hyperactivity in the aINS, MCC, and S1. Notably, greater reductions in the S1 and MCC were associated with improved pain tolerance. These findings identify distinct cortical circuitries, particularly within the cognitive-affective pain network, that may serve as potential biomarkers for optimizing rTMS treatment in migraine and other chronic pain conditions. Future studies should validate these results in patient populations experiencing spontaneous migraine attacks and explore multi-session or accelerated rTMS protocols.

Objective:To investigate the effectiveness of the 5A (Ask, Assess, Advise, Assist, Arrange follow-up) management model based on personalized health education records in community patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to select patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were enrolled with family doctors in Yuxin Community, Haidian District, Beijing, from January 2022 to May 2023. Using a random number table method, the patients were divided into an observation group ( n=68) and a control group ( n=68). The control group received routine community management, while the observation group received management based on the 5A model and personalized health education records. Differences in metabolic indicators, including glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting blood glucose, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference, as well as self-management behaviors were compared between the two groups at 3, 6, and 12 months of intervention. Results:During the entire intervention period, four cases were lost in the observation group and eight cases were lost in the control group. Finally, data from 124 patients were included in the analysis, including 64 cases in the observation group and 60 cases in the control group. Repeated measures analysis of variance showed interaction effects between time points and groups for HbA1c, BMI, waist circumference, and self-management behavior scores among patients with diabetes, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The 5A management model based on personalized health education records has a positive impact on improving metabolic indicators and self-management behaviors in community patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) can lead to lower back pain and may be even accompanied by scoliosis, neurological dysfunction and other complications, which will affect the daily activities and life quality of patients. Vertebral augmentation is an effective treatment method for OVCF, but it cannot correct unbalance of bone metabolism or improve the osteoporotic status, causing complications like lower back pain, limited spinal activities and vertebral refracture. The post-operative systematic and standardized rehabilitation treatments can improve curative effect and therapeutic efficacy of anti-osteoporosis, reduce risk of vertebral refracture, increase patient compliance and improve quality of life. Since there still lack relevant clinical treatment guidelines for postoperative rehabilitation treatments following vertebral augmentation for OVCF, the current treatments are varied with uneven therapeutic effect. In order to standardize the postoperative rehabilitation treatment, the Spine Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized relevant experts to refer to relevant literature and develop the "Guideline for postoperative rehabilitation treatment following vertebral augmentation for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (2022 version)" based on the clinical guidelines published by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) as well as on the principles of scientificity, practicality and advancement. The guideline provided evidence-based recommendations on 10 important issues related to postoperative rehabilitation treatments of OVCF.

COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection severely threatens global health and economic development. No effective antiviral drug is currently available to treat COVID-19 and any other human coronavirus infections. We report herein that a macrolide antibiotic, carrimycin, potently inhibited the cytopathic effects (CPE) and reduced the levels of viral protein and RNA in multiple cell types infected by human coronavirus 229E, OC43, and SARS-CoV-2. Time-of-addition and pseudotype virus infection studies indicated that carrimycin inhibited one or multiple post-entry replication events of human coronavirus infection. In support of this notion, metabolic labelling studies showed that carrimycin significantly inhibited the synthesis of viral RNA. Our studies thus strongly suggest that carrimycin is an antiviral agent against a broad-spectrum of human coronaviruses and its therapeutic efficacy to COVID-19 is currently under clinical investigation.

Objective To evaluate the impact of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training on the willingness to perform on-site rescue for patients with apnea and cardiac arrest. Methods Through questionnaire survey, the analyses on the differences in the results of evaluating various indicators in CPR Willingness Questionnaire in 364 willingness (including 14 recurrent training personnel) of Yunnan Emergency Center from January 2017 to June 2018 before and after CPR training were carried out in order to observe the impact of training on willingness CPR willingness. Results A total of 364 questionnaires were distributed and 364 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a recovery rate of 100%. Compared with those before the CPR training, the analyses of the contents of the questionnaire showed that the proportions of following 6 types of volunteer who were reluctant to implement CPR on site begore training were significantly lower after CPR training [no confidence in their own operational skills: 20.3% (74/364) vs. 83.2% (303/364), being impossible to identify the patients requiring CPR: 25.5% (93/364) vs. 87.1% (317/364), fear of mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration to contract infectious diseases: 30.2% (110/364) vs. 82.4% (300/364), worried about chest compressions leading to bone fractures: 23.3% (85/364) vs. 86.8% (316/364), worried about the inaccurate positioning of chest compressions: 12.4% (45/364) vs. 82.4% (300/364) and fear of taking legal responsibility: 14.3% (52/364) vs. 89.8% (327/364)], and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05); after training, the following 3 kinds of proportions of carrying out CPR were much higher than those before training [volunteers were willing to implement CPR on site for strangers: 83.2% (303/364) vs. 54.9% (200/364), volunteers were willing to implement CPR on site for friends, colleagues, classmates and other acquaintances: 83.5% (304/364) vs. 58.2% (212/364), volunteers were willing to implement CPR on site for family members: 84.6% (308/364) vs. 61.8% (225/364)], the differences being statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Conclusion CPR training for volunteers can improve their willingness to perform on-site rescue for patients with apnea and cardiac arrest, but there are still partial barriers of CPR willingness for strangers.

Objective To explore the effect of long noncoding RNA-ATB (LncRNA-ATB) on phenotypic transition and proliferation of human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMCs) induced by high glucose.Methods HPMCs used in experiment were divided into three groups:control group,mannitol group and hypertonic glucose group.HPMCs in control group received no treatment,and in hypertonic glucose group and mannitol group were treated with 50mmol/L D-glucose and isotonic mannitol for 72 hours,respectively.Real-time PCR was employed to detect the mRNA expression of LncRNA-ATB,E-cadherin,α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA),connective tissue growth factor (CTGF),Cyclin D1,cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 4 (CDK4),protein 27 (p27)and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA).Western blotting was performed to detect the proteins expression of E-cadherin,α-SMA,CTGF,Cyclin D1,CDK4,p27 and PCNA,and flow cytometry was used to test the cell cycle.Lentivirus artifice was used to up-or down-regulate the expression of LncRNA-ATB in untreated HPMCs.Real-time PCR was employed to detect the mRNA expression of E-cadherin,α-SMA and CTGF,Western blotting was performed to detect the proteins expression of E-cadherin,α-SMA and CTGF,and flow cytometry was used to test the cell cycle.Results It is revealed by Real-time PCR,Western blotting and flow cytometry that the expressions increased of LncRNA-ATB,α-SMA,CTGF,Cyclin D1,CDK4 and PCNA induced by hypertonic glucose,and decreased of E-cadherin and p27 (P＜0.05).Up-regulation of LncRNA-ATB promoted HPMCs phenotypic transition and proliferation,while down-regulation alleviated HPMCs phenotypic transition and proliferation.Conclusion Hypertonic glucose may accelerate HPMCs phenotypic transition and proliferation by up-regulating the expression of LncRNA-ATB.
