ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship of physical activity (PA) and cognitive function to sleep quality in older adults with cognitive impairment based on resting electroencephalogram (EEG), and to explore the mediating role of specific EEG markers in the relationship between PA and sleep quality. MethodsFrom March to May, 2024, 137 older adults were recruited from Chenfu Jiayuan and Qiangwei Jiuli in Songjiang district, and Luyan communities in Jinshan district, Shanghai. The assessments included Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), along with a five-minute EEG recording. ResultsThere was significant difference in sleep quality among older adults with different levels of cognitive impairment (t = -7.400, P < 0.001). The PSQI total score was negatively correlated with MoCA scores (r = -0.412, P < 0.001) and total physical activity level (PAL) (r = -0.363, P < 0.001). The θ power in the frontal areas (F3, F4) was significantly correlated with both PSQI scores and PAL (P < 0.01). The θ power in F3 + F4 exhibited a significant partial (effect size = -0.0004, 95%CI -0.0007 to -0.0002) mediating effect between PA and sleep quality in older adults with cognitive impairment. ConclusionOlder adults with more severe cognitive impairment tend to have poorer sleep quality, whereas higher PAL is associated with better sleep quality. PA can indirectly influence sleep quality in older adults with cognitive impairment by affecting θ power (F3 + F4).

Objective To explore the characteristics of intestinal flora in the chronic insomnia population in northern Shandong Province， China， and to provide a theoretical basis for further analysis of the connection between intestinal flora and insomnia. Methods This study included 30 chronic insomnia patients （18-65 years） presented to the Department of Neurology， Binzhou Medical University Hospital from January to July 2022. The control group included 33 healthy individuals. All subjects met strict inclusion and exclusion criteria. There was no significant difference in BMI between the two groups （P>0.05）. Fecal samples of all subjects were collected using sterile instruments. Bacterial DNA was extracted using a DNA assay kit. PCR amplification was performed on multiple amplicon libraries covering the V3-V4 region of the 16S rDNA gene. Results （1） The α-diversity analysis indicated that the ACE， Chao1， Shannon， and Simpson's indices were significantly higher in the chronic insomnia group than in the normal group. The β-diversity analysis showed significant differences in species composition between the chronic insomnia group and the normal group. LEfSe analysis showed significant differences in the relative abundance of bacterial phyla such as Fusobacteriota and Firmicutes between the chronic insomnia group and the normal group. （2） Random forest analysis showed the largest difference in Lachnospiraceae between the chronic insomnia group and the normal group. Conclusion The gut microbial diversity alters in the chronic insomnia population in northern Shandong Province. Lachnospiraceae may be a potential biomarker of insomnia.

Objective:To analyze the efficacy and safety of CLAG regimen (cladribine, cytarabine, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor) in treatment of relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML).Methods:The clinical data of 30 patients with relapsed/refractory AML who were admitted to Suzhou Hongci Blood Disease Hospital from January 2018 to February 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, and the efficacy and adverse reactions were observed.Results:Among 30 patients, 1 patient was not evaluated for efficacy due to treatment-related death. Among the 29 evaluable patients, 17 patients (58.6%) achieved complete remission (CR), 5 patients (17.3%) achieved partial remission (PR) and 7 patients (24.1%) had no remission (NR). One patient in low-medium-risk group achieved CR; the CR rate in medium-risk group was higher than that in high-risk group [68.8% (11/16) vs. 41.7% (5/12)], but the difference was not statistically significant ( P = 0.250). Seven patients with M 5 achieved CR. Five patients with positive MLL gene rearrangement achieved CR. Among 6 patients with extramedullary invasion of leukemia cells, 4 patients achieved CR, and among them 3 patients with central nervous system invasion achieved CR. Among 6 patients with cladribine 3.5 mg·m -2·d -1×5 d, 1 patient died of infection after chemotherapy, 1 patient had NR, and the rest achieved CR. Among 24 patients with cladribine 5 mg·m -2·d -1×5 d, the CR rate in patients with cytarabine 2 g·m -2·d -1×5 d was higher than that in patients with cytarabine 1 g·m -2·d -1×5 d [70.0% (7/10) vs. 42.9% (6/14)], but the difference was not statistically significant ( P = 0.240). All patients developed grade Ⅳ myelosuppression after chemotherapy. 12 patients underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) after CR, and 9 patients were still alive. Conclusions:CLAG regimen is effective and well tolerated in the treatment of relapsed/refractory AML. In order to improve the prognosis, allo-HSCT should be performed as soon as possible after CR.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of transurethral thulium laser enucleation of prostate for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with laser controller and sheath.Methods:The clinical data of 128 BPH patients who underwent transurethral thulium laser enucleation of prostate (THuLEP) in our hospital from January to June 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical features and genetic variants in four neonates with very long chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiency. METHODS: Neonates with a tetradecenoylcarnitine (C14:1) concentration at above 0.4 μmol/L in newborn screening were recalled for re-testing. Four neonates were diagnosed with VLCAD deficiency by MS-MS and genetic testing, and their clinical features and genotypes were analyzed. RESULTS: All cases had elevated blood C14:1, and the values of first recalls were all lower than the initial test. In 2 cases, the C14:1 had dropped to the normal range. 1 case has remained at above 1 μmol/L after the reduction, and the remainder one case was slightly decreased. In total eight variants of the ADACVL genes were detected among the four neonates, which included 5 missense variants and 3 novel variants (p.Met344Val, p.Ala416Val, c.1077+6T>A). No neonate showed salient clinical manifestations. CONCLUSION Above findings have enriched the spectrum of ADACVL gene mutations and provided a valuable reference for the screening and diagnosis of VLCAD deficiency.

Objective:To identify the possible pathogenesis of a neonate with carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A (CPT1A) deficiency by analyzing genetic variants.Methods:Potential variants were detected with an Ion Torrent semiconductor sequencer using a gene panel for inherited diseases, and candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing.Results:Genetic testing indicated that the neonate has carried c. 1895T>A(p.Leu632X) and c. 1153G>A(p.Ala385Thr) compound heterozygous variants of the CPT1A gene, which were inherited from his father and mother, respectively. Both variants were verified as novel through the retrieval of HGMD database, ClinVar database and literature. According to the standards and guidelines of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics, the c. 1895T>A variant was predicted as pathogenic(PVS1+ PM2+ PP4) and c. 1153G>A as likely pathogenic (PM1+ PM2+ PM3+ PP3). Conclusion:The c. 1895T>A and c. 1153G>A compound heterozygous variants of the CPT1A gene might underlie the pathogenesis in this child. Above results have provided a basis for clinical diagnosis and genetic counseling, and enriched the variant spectrum of the CPT1 deficiency.

Objective:To investigate the pathological change mechanism of patients with chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection (CAEBV).Methods:The clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations, diagnosis and treatment of one CAEBV patient in Suzhou Hongci Hematology Hospital of Jiangsu Province were retrospectively analyzed with review of related literature.Results:Combined with the results of laboratory, lymph node biopsy and bone marrow tests in different periods, the patient initially showed lymphoproliferative disease, and gradually transformed into lymphoma with the diagnosis results of EB virus-related lymphocyte clones in different periods. The patient received the corresponding treatment plan in different periods, but eventually died due to hemophagocytic syndrome and rapid progress of the disease.Conclusion:CAEBV may cause lymphocytes to gradually evolve from polyclonal to monoclonal state.

Model informed precision dosing (MIPD) is a new concept to guide precision dosing for individual patient by modeling and simulation based on the available information about the individual patient, medications and the disease. Compared to the empirical dosing, MIPD could improve the efficacy, safety, economics and adherence of the pharmacotherapy according to the individual's pathophysiology, genotyping and disease progression. This consensus report provides a brief account of the concept, methodology and implementation of MIPD as well as clinical decision supporting systems for MIPD. The status and future advancing of MIPD was also discussed to facilitate the appropriate application and development of MIPD in China.

Objective:To analysis the characteristics and trends of non-martial and non-commercial heterosexual transmission of HIV/AIDS cases in Henan province between 2015 and 2020.Methods:Information of newly reported HIV/AIDS through non-martial and non-commercial heterosexual transmission was collected from National Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Information system, using SPSS 22.0 to analyze the characteristics and tend of cases.Results:During 2015-2020, a total of 10 877 HIV/AIDS cases infected by non-martial and non-commercial heterosexual transmission were newly reported in Henan province. This mode of infection increased from 32.6% in 2015 to 35.5% in 2020 (trend χ2=81.880, P<0.01). The male to female ratio was 1.9∶1 (7 105∶3 772). The mean age was (45.5±15.8) years, increasing annually ( F=5.184, P<0.01). For female cases, the proportion of aged 15-50 years group was decreased annually (trend χ2=69.888, P<0.01). Most HIV/AIDS cases were distributed in the early HIV epidemic areas and Zhengzhou city, the same as the cases of the first CD4 +T cells counts (CD4) below 200 cells/μl. The median ( P 25, P 75) first CD4 count was 298 (143, 462) cells/μl. The proportion of the first CD4<200 cells/μl was no significant change annually, while the proportion of the first CD4≥500 cells/μl was decreasing annually (trend χ2=18.961, P<0.01). Conclusions:The reported cases through non-martial and non-commercial heterosexual transmission increased, with most of them were male, married, junior, farmer, migrant laborer, and aged 40-59 years. It is needed to focus on the rural district and the middle-aged population, combined with biological and social factors to control the prevalence of AIDS through comprehensive prevention and control measures.

Objective: Comparing the benefit of Abidor, lopinavir/ritonavir and recombinant interferon α-2b triple combination antiviral therapy and lopinavir/ritonavir and interferon dual combination antiviral therapy to hospitalized novel coronavirus pneumonia 2019 in Zhejiang province. Methods: A multi-center prospective study was carried out to compare the effect of triple combination antiviral therapy with dual combination antiviral therapy in 15 medical institutions of Zhejiang Province. All patients were treated with recombinant interferon α-2b (5 million U, 2 times/d) aerosol inhalation. 196 patients were treated with abidol (200 mg, 3 times/d) + lopinavir / ritonavir (2 tablets, 1 time/12 h) as the triple combination antiviral treatment group. 41 patients were treated with lopinavir / ritonavir (2 tablets, 1 time/12 h) as the dual combination antiviral treatment group. The patients who received triple combination antiviral therapy were divided into three groups: within 48 hours, 3-5 days and > 5 days after the symptom onset. To explore the therapeutic effects of triple combination antiviral drugs and dual combination antiviral drugs, as well as triple combination antiviral drugs with different antiviral initiate time. SPSS17.0 software was used to analyze the data. Results: The time of virus nucleic acid turning negative was (12.2 ± 4.7) days in the triple combination antiviral drug group, which was shorter than that in the dual combination antiviral drug group [(15.0 ± 5.0) days] (t = 6.159, P < 0.01 ). The length of hospital stay [12 (9, 17) d] in the triple combination antiviral drug group was also shorter than that in the dual combination antiviral drug group [15 (10, 18) d] (H = 2.073, P < 0.05). Comparing the antiviral treatment which was started within 48 hours, 3-5 days and > 5 days after the symptom onset of triple combination antiviral drug group, the time from the symptom onset to the negative of viral shedding was 13 (10,16.8), 17 (13,22) and 21 (18-24) days respectively (Z = 32.983, P < 0.01), and the time from antiviral therapy to the negative of viral shedding was (11.8±3.9) , (13.5±5.1) and (11.2±4.3) d. The differences among the three groups were statistically significant (Z=32.983 and 6.722, P<0.01 or<0.05). Conclusions The triple combination antiviral therapy of Abidor, Lopinavir/Litonavir and recombinant interferon α-2b showed shorter viral shedding time and hospitalization time compared with the dual combination antiviral therapy. The earlier the time to initiate triple antiviral treatment, the shorter the time of virus shedding.
