Clinicians need to focus on various points in the diagnosis and treatment of insomnia.This article prescribed the treatment protocol based on the unique features,such as insomnia in the elderly,women experiencing specific physiologi-cal periods,children insomnia,insomnia in sleep-breathing disorder patients,insomnia in patients with chronic liver and kidney dysfunction.It pro-vides some reference for clinicians while they make decision on diagnosis,differentiation and treat-ment methods.

In past two decades, understanding of the role of the orexin system in regulating sleep and wakefulness has increased rapidly. Lemborexant, as a dual orexin receptor antagonist, has been approved in some countries for the treatment of insomnia disorders. Existing studies have shown that its safety and tolerability are significantly superior to traditional hypnotic drugs, and it will be new option for treating insomnia disorders. This article reviews the pharmacology, clinical efficacy and safety of lemborexant.

Objective:To explore the influences of times of venous thromboembolism (VTE) drug prophylaxis in formation of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients with severe craniocerebral injury after surgical treatment.Methods:Ninety patients with severe craniocerebral injury, admitted to our hospital from February 2021 to December 2021, were chosen in our study; they were divided into early group ( n=47, less than 48 h from the time of admission) and late group ( n=43, more than 48 h from the time of admission) according to the times of initiation for VTE drug prophylaxis (low molecular weight heparin calcium injection [LMWH] 100 IU/Kg was injected subcutaneously once a d). One week after injection, the DVT formation in the lower limbs, intracranial rebleeding, gastrointestinal bleeding and death were compared in the two groups. Results:The times of initiation for drug prophylaxis in the early group and late group were (28.91±4.50) h and (71.56±8.89) h. The DVT formation in the early group was significantly lower than that in the late group (12.8% vs. 34.9%, P<0.05). There was no difference in the incidence of intracranial rebleeding, mortality or gastrointestinal bleeding between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Early initiation of VTE drug prophylaxis can significantly reduce the incidence of DVT in patients with severe craniocerebral injury after surgical treatment, enjoying high safety.

Objective:To assess the predictive values of bioelectrical impedance analysis(BIA)-measured body fat indices to abnormal lipid profiles, and to preliminary propose optimal cut-off values of body fat in children and adolescents.Methods:Children and adolescents, aged 6-16 years, were selected from 30 schools (8 primary schools, 21 middle schools and one 12-year education school) in Dongcheng, Tongzhou, Fangshan and Miyun districts of Beijing by adopting a stratified cluster sampling method from November 2017 to January 2018.Questionnaire survey, body mass index(BMI), body fat mass index (FMI), fat mass percentage (FMP) and four lipid profiles were conducted.Results:A total of 14 309 participants, aged (11.0±3.3) years, were enrolled in the analysis, with 49.9% boys.In boys and girls, the percentile values ( P60- P95) fitted by FMI and FMP with K-median-coefficient of variation(LMS) method were taken as the cutting points, and P75 values were selected as the cut-off points of excessive body fat for their better sensitivity, specificity, predictive value and area under curve (AUC) for identification of abnormal lipid profiles.Boys with FMI above P75 accounted for 28% of the total population, and controlling boys with FMI below P75 could prevent dyslipidemia of 8%-57%.FMI in girl population occupied about 26% of the above, and controlling FMI in girl population below this cut-off point may prevent dyslipidemia from 8%-42%.FMP observed similar results to FMI.Assessed by FMI or FMP with P75 cut-off values, adiposity performed better than BMI for recognizing abnormal lipid profiles in boys (AUC: 52.4%-69.6% vs.50.2%-67.1%, P<0.05) rather than in girls ( P>0.05). In addition, when FMI or FMP beyond P90, the specificity of each abnormal lipid profiles was around 90%. Conclusions:The recommend cut-off points for body fat may be to assess children′s adiposity, and can be applied in preventive activities.

The occurrence and development of chronic insomnia involves subjective and objective factors, which can be classified as predisposing factors, precipitating factors and perpetuating factors. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) evolves from the pathopsychological analysis of chronic insomnia patients, and selectively combines the sleep hygiene, cognitive therapy and behavioral therapy to improve the symptoms of patients. With the popularity of internet, the digital cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia has an convenient advantage over the traditional therapy, and has become the focus of research. Researchers have proposed multiple therapies for chronic insomnia, including drug therapy and non-drug therapy, which improve the treatment effect of chronic insomnia from different perspectives.

The clinical symptoms of chronic insomnia are various, the clinical diagnosis process needs to be combined with sleep parameters, daytime symptoms and psychological status of patients. Recently, the neuroimaging research suggests that chronic insomnia patients have certain structural changes and functional changes, which leads a new direction for the following research. The new drugs for the treatment of chronic insomnia, improving receptor specificity or increasing intervention targets, will provides more choices for patients.

Narcolepsy is a rare disease that presents with sleep-wake disorder, which divided into narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) and narcolepsy type 2 (NT2). NT1 accounts for more than 75%, which is characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), cataplexy attacks and nocturnal sleep symptoms (e.g. sleep paralysis, hallucinations, sleep disruptions, sleep movement disorders, etc.), accompanied by metabolic, psychiatric and emotional disturbances. The main clinical manifestation of NT2 is EDS, without cataplexy and nonspecific other symptoms of NT1. The treatments of narcolepsy mainly include the treatments of EDS and cataplexy, as well as the improvement of nocturnal sleep. This article will elaborate the advances in clinical manifestations and treatments of narcolepsy.

Objective:To investigate the relationships between hyperuricemia and the incidence risk for cardiometabolic abnormity in children.Methods:Data were obtained from School-based Cardiovascular and Bone Health Promotion Program. In 2017, a total of 15 391 children aged 6-16 years in Beijing were selected through stratified cluster sampling at baseline survey. Follow-up investigation was conducted in 2019. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationships of uric acid quartiles and change in uric acid levels with incidence risks for cardiometabolic abnormity (hypertension, hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia).Results:A total of 8 807 children (4 376 boys, 4 431 girls) were included in the analysis, the average age of the children was (11.1±3.3) years at baseline survey. The adjusted odds ratios ( ORs) and 95% confidence intervals ( CIs) of incidence risk for hypertension in the third and fourth quartiles of the UA were 1.39 (1.11-1.75) and 1.56 (1.19-1.81), respectively. The ORs and 95% CIs of risk for high LDL-C in the second, third and fourth quartiles were 1.88 (1.16-3.05),1.98 (1.23-3.17) and 2.25 (1.42-3.57). The uric acid level increased by one standard deviation, the risk increased by 17% for hypertension and 27% for high LDL-C. The uric acid level increased by 10 μmol/L, the risk increased by 2.1% for hypertension and 2.9% for high LDL-C. The gender-stratified analysis showed that the similar results. The ORs and 95% CIs were 1.32 (1.09-1.60) and 1.50 (1.05-2.16) for hypertension, 1.90 (1.38-2.60) and 2.96 (1.58-5.52) for high TC, 1.78 (1.26-2.51) and 2.84 (1.60-5.03) for high LDL-C in the groups of newly diagnosed hyperuricemia and persistent hyperuricemia. Conclusions:Higher uric acid level was associated with increased incidence risks for hypertension, abnormal TC and LDL-C. Maintaining optimal uric acid level by children might contribute to the early prevention of cardiovascular diseases.

Objective:To analyze the influence of obesity status on the development of cardiometabolic disorders in school-age children.Methods:Information about children's body weight, body height and cardiovascular risk factors were collected in baseline survey in 2017 and follow-up survey in 2019. The school-age children were divided into four groups based on their baseline and follow-up obesity status, i.e. sustained non-obesity group, restored obesity group, newly classified obesity group, and persistent obesity group. Analysis of covariance was used to compare the difference of change in levels of cardiometabolic factors among the four groups. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between obesity status and the incidence risk of cardiometabolic disorders.Results:The present study included 11 379 school-age children (boys accounting for 49.6%). During the 2 years, the incidence of obesity was 3.2% (95% CI: 2.9%-3.5%) with the restoration ratio of obesity of 4.4% (95% CI: 4.0%-4.8%). Compared with the sustained non-obesity group, increases in SBP, DBP, TG, LDL-C and non-HDL-C were much higher in newly classified obesity group and persistent obesity group, but lower in restored obesity groups except for DBP (all P<0.05). In addition, the incidence risk of hypertension, high glucose, dyslipidemia and cardiometabolic disorders (≥2 risks) were much higher in newly classified and persistent obese children than in sustained non-obese children. No difference was found in incidence risks of most cardiovascular disorders between restored obese children and sustained non-obese children, except for hypertension and cardiometabolic risks. Conclusion:Both newly classified obesity and persistent obesity increased the incidence risks for multi cardiovascular disorders, while these risks could be reduced when non-obese status restore.

Objective:To investigate the incidence and risk factors of pediatric fracture in school-age children and adolescents in Beijing.Methods:A total of 12 056 students with complete fracture data of 2017 baseline survey and 2019 follow-up survey of School-based Cardiovascular and Bone Health (SCVBH) Promotion Program in Beijing were selected as study subjects. Logistic regression model was used to analyze associations of fracture incidence with age, BMI, fracture history and lifestyle.Results:The 2-year accumulative incidence rate of pediatric fracture was 3.1% (95% CI: 2.8%-3.4%) in school-age children and adolescents in Beijing, which was much higher in boys (4.1%) than in girls (2.1%) and increased with age in boys but decreased with age in girls. Fractures mainly occurred at upper-limb (69.0%), no gender and age specific significant in fracture sites were observed. Fracture history was the risk factor for fracture incidence in both boys and girls (boys: RR=1.81, 95% CI: 1.18-2.64; girls: RR=3.11, 95% CI: 1.74-5.13). In addition, higher duration and frequency of moderate to vigorous physical activities (≥120 min/day) and frequent consumption of sugar sweetened beverage (≥1 time/week) were also found to increase fracture risk in boys. Conclusion:The incidence of pediatric fracture was associated with gender, age, fracture history and lifestyle habits in school-age children and adolescents in Beijing. Targeted strategies are needed to prevent childhood fracture.
