Background Long-term exposure to noise during sleep may has adverse effects on metabolic system, and liver lipid metabolism is closely related to circadian clock genes. Objective To investigate the effects of long-term noise exposure during sleep on liver circadian clock and lipid metabolism in mice and its related mechanism. Methods Twenty C57BL/6J male mice were randomly divided into two groups: a noise exposure group and a control group with 10 mice in each group. The mice in the noise exposure group were exposed to white noise at 90 dB sound pressure level (SPL) for 30 consecutive days, 8 h a day, from 9:00 to 17:00. The mice in the control group were exposed to background noise ≤40 dB SPL. After noise exposure, the animals were neutralized at 14:00 (ZT6) and 2:00 (ZT18), 5 animals at each time spot, and the liver tissues were collected. Total cholesterol and triglyceride in liver were determined by cholesterol oxidase method and glycerol phosphate oxidase method respectively. The expressions of circadian clock genes (Clock, Bmal1, Rev-erbα, and Rev-erbβ) and lipid metabolism genes (Srebp1c, Hmgcr, Fasn, Lxrα, Acc1, and Chrebp) in liver were detected by quantitative real-time PCR. Results Compared with the control group, the content of total cholesterol in liver in the noise exposure group increased by 48% (P<0.05) and the content of liver triglyceride increased by 61% (P<0.05) at ZT18. The mRNA expression levels of circadian clock genes Clock and Bmal1 in the noise exposure group was significantly increased at ZT18 and decreased at ZT6 (P<0.05). The mRNA expression level of Rev-erbα decreased at both ZT6 and ZT18 (P<0.05). The mRNA expression level of Rev-erbβ had no significant change at ZT6 and ZT18. The mRNA expression levels of liver lipid metabolism related genes Srebp1c, Hmgcr, Chrebp, and Lxrα in the noise exposure group were higher than those in the control group at ZT18 (P<0.05). The mRNA expression levels of Acc1 and Fasn showed no significant change at ZT6, then an upward trend at ZT18, but no significant difference between the two time spots (P>0.05). Conclusion Long-term noise exposure during sleep can cause circadian clock and lipid metabolism disorders in mice. Among them, suppression of key circadian clock genes may be associated with Rev-erbα-mediated upregulation of the nuclear receptors Srebp1c and Chrebp for lipid synthesis and deposition in the liver, resulting in lipid metabolism disorder.

This paper systematically analyzed the ancient monographs of acupuncture and moxibustion and comprehensive medical books from pre-Qin to 1911, and extracted the data according to the etiology and pathogenesis, treatment principles and methods, acupoint selection, needling and moxibustion, and taboos of needling and moxibustion. The pathogenesis of migraine in ancient books and documents is summarized as "the causes are diverse, and phlegm-dampness is the majority". For treatment, the features include "needling has a sequence, and the root and the branch should be treated separately" and "focusing on tonifying deficiency and drain excess". It is also obtained of the rich ideas of acupoints selection, extensive application records of moxibustion, unique application of bloodletting therapy and clear explanation of acupuncture and moxibustion taboos. All mentioned above is expected to enrich the ideas and methods of modern migraine treatment and improve the clinical effects.

Alzheimer disease is a common neurodegenerative disease among the elderly and has abnormal accumula-tion of amyloid plaques as the typical pathological feature.Because of its strict selective permeability,the blood-brain bar-rier prevents all macromolecular substances from entering the central nervous system and has thus become a"bottleneck"for delivering therapeutic drugs to the brain.Studies have shown that low-intensity focused ultrasound combined with ultra-sound microbubbles can safely and reversibly open the junction between endothelial cells of the blood-brain barrier through cavitation and reduce amyloid deposition by promoting the activation of microglial cells into an anti-inflammatory state.This article reviews the latest research advances in low-intensity focused ultrasound in the treatment of Alzheimer disease,in order to provide a theoretical basis and new strategies for the treatment of Alzheimer disease.

Objective:
To investigate the association between frailty and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) using a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis, so as to provide the evidence for the prevention and control of frailty and T2DM.
Methods:
Frailty status was assessed using the Fried Frailty Score (FFS), with aggregated data sourced from 386 565 European samples in the UK Biobank. The T2DM data were obtained from the summary results of genome-wide analysis published by the Diabetes Genetics Replication and Meta-analysis Consortium, excluding the UK Biobank data, including 455 313 European samples. Eligible single nucleotide polymorphism site were selected from the FFS and T2DM summary data as instrumental variables. The bidirectional MR analysis was performed using the inverse-variance weighted method. The heterogeneity was assessed using the modified Cochran Q test. The horizontal pleiotropy of instrumental variables was examined using MR-Egger regression. The robustness of the results was evaluated using the leave-one-out method. The bias was tested using funnel plot.
Results:
The forward MR analysis revealed a statistically significant association between increased FFS and an increased risk of T2DM (OR=2.280, 95%CI: 1.169-4.447). The reverse MR analysis showed a statistically significant association between T2DM and increased FFS (β=0.026, 95%CI: 0.012-0.041). Both bidirectional MR results were robust, with no horizontal pleiotropy of the instrumental variables was found (all P>0.5); and the funnel plots did not show significant basis.
Conclusion
The study found a bidirectional causal association between frailty and T2DM.

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.

Urachal carcinoma (UrC)is a rare urological malignancy. UrC is not obvious in its early symptoms, and is mostly in the advanced stage at diagnosis, with a poor prognosis. Surgical treatment was preferred by partial cystectomy + resection of complete umbilical and umbilical urinary catheter ± pelvic lymph node dissection, and more than 90% of UrC were confirmed as adenocarcinoma through postoperative pathology. Systemic treatment is often based on treatment protocols for bladder adenocarcinoma or colorectal adenocarcinoma.This article reviews recent domestic and international research on UrC, summarizing its incidence, clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment.
