The impact of community-based, non-pharmaceutical interventions on anxiety and depression in fibromyalgia: A systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Background: Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is often accompanied by anxiety and depression, seriously affecting the prognosis of patients. Active non-pharmacological therapies are the mainstay of treatment, but the optimal choice is still contentious.

Methods: We did a network meta-analysis(NMA) of RCTs and compared 7 community-based non-pharmacological interventions based on 29 studies.

Association of cerebrospinal fluid NPY with peripheral ApoA: a moderation effect of BMI.

Background: Apoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) and Apoprotein B (ApoB) have emerged as novel cardiovascular risk biomarkers influenced by feeding behavior. Hypothalamic appetite peptides regulate feeding behavior and impact lipoprotein levels, which effects vary in different weight states. This study explores the intricate relationship between body mass index (BMI), hypothalamic appetite peptides, and apolipoproteins with emphasis on the moderating role of body weight in the association between neuropeptide Y (NPY), ghrelin, orexin A (OXA), oxytocin in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and peripheral ApoA-I and ApoB.

Determining of 18 amino acids in plasma of pregnant women with sleep disorders by UHPLC-MS/MS.

Many pregnant women experience sleep disorders, and amino acid levels could play a crucial role in affecting maternal sleep. To explore this potential relationship, an accurate and effective UHPLC-MS/MS method has been developed to monitor 18 amino acids in the plasma samples of pregnant women. This method aims to assess how plasma amino acid levels might be linked to sleep disorders during pregnancy.

Association of impulsive behavior and cerebrospinal fluid/plasma oxidation and antioxidation ratio in Chinese men.

Objectives: Impulsive behavior is the precursor of many psychiatric and neurological conditions. High levels of impulsive behavior will increase health risk behavior and related injuries. Impulsive behavior is produced and regulated by central and peripheral biological factors, and oxidative stress (OS) can aggravate it.

Association of cigarette smoking with cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers of insulin sensitivity and neurodegeneration.

Introduction: Cigarette smoking increases both the risk for insulin resistance and amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregation, and impaired brain insulin/insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) signaling might increase risk factors for Alzheimer's disease (AD). We aimed to investigate the association among cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) insulin sensitivity/IGF1, glucose/lactate, and Aβ42 and further explore whether insulin sensitivity contributed to the risk for AD in active smokers.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, levels of insulin, IGF1, and lactate/glucose of 75 active smokers and 78 nonsmokers in CSF were measured.

The low ratio of ghrelin in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid might be beneficial to sleep.

Objective: Ghrelin is physiologically important for maintaining sleep rhythm. Cigarette smoking has been demonstrated to significantly increase the risk of insufficient sleep by regulating ghrelin at the central and peripheral levels. No research has been published to study the relationship between active smoking and sleep via ghrelin level in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

Comparison of chronic gastrointestinal and genitourinary toxicities between brachytherapy and external beam radiotherapy for patients with prostate cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: 125I BT is an effective radiotherapy for prostate cancer. However, comparison data of GI and GU toxicities between BT, BT + EBRT, and EBRT-alone patient groups is limited.

Objective: To define the GI and GU toxicities in prostate cancer to prevent adverse events after treatment.

Efficacy of nondrug interventions in perinatal depression: A meta-analysis.

Perinatal depression causes significant harm to mothers and unborn infants. Nondrug intervention is a common and acceptable method for reducing perinatal depression in pregnant women; however, it lacks an evidence-based basis. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of nondrug interventions, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), and yoga, in reducing perinatal depression.

Clinical study of multifunctional laryngeal mask in airway interventional therapy.

Objective: This study is conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of using multifunctional intubation laryngeal masks with normal frequency jet ventilation in airway interventional therapy.

Methods: A total of 200 patients receiving airway interventional therapy were enrolled in this retrospective study and were divided into 2 groups (group M and group P) by doctors in our hospital to compare the effect of different laryngeal masks. Group M used common laryngeal masks and an anesthesia machine for positive pressure ventilation while group P took multifunctional intubation laryngeal masks and used a jet ventilator for normal frequency jet ventilation.

Risks of Digestive System Side-Effects of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors in Patients with Depression: A Network Meta-Analysis.

Purpose: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are the preferred treatments for depression. The most common adverse drug reactions are symptoms involving the digestive system, leading to low compliance in patients with depression. Therefore, it is important to assess the safety of SSRIs with respect to the digestive system.

Association of Fatigue With Sleep Duration and Bedtime During the Third Trimester.

Purpose: To investigate the association between fatigue and sleep habits of pregnant women to further explore the effect of sleep duration and bedtime on fatigue during the third trimester.

Materials And Methods: A total of 465 Chinese Han pregnant women in the third trimester (after 28 weeks) with a singleton gestation were recruited. Sleep habits (such as bedtime, sleep onset latency, and night sleep duration) and the 14-item Fatigue Scale scores (FS-14, used to assess fatigue) were collected.

Association of Acute Postoperative Pain and Cigarette Smoking With Cerebrospinal Fluid Levels of Beta-Endorphin and Substance P.

: Cigarette smoking is associated with postoperative pain perception, which might be mediated by beta-endorphin and substance P. These effects on postoperative pain perception have never been investigated in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which reflects biochemical alterations in the brain. Therefore, we investigated the associations among cigarette smoking, postoperative pain, and levels of beta-endorphin and substance P in human CSF.

Association of Cigarette Smoking With Male Cognitive Impairment and Metal Ions in Cerebrospinal Fluid.

Cigarette smoking might accelerate cognitive impairment; however, this has never been investigated using human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). We conducted this study to investigate the association between cigarette smoking and cognitive impairment through metal ions in CSF. We obtained 5-ml CSF samples from routine lumbar puncture procedures in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction before surgery in China.

miRNAs may regulate GABAergic transmission associated genes in aged rats with anesthetics-induced recognition and working memory dysfunction.

Background: Isoflurane and sevoflurane are widely used anesthetics in surgery and administration of these anesthetics could lead to postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). However, the mechanisms remain unclear.

Methods: Aged Wistar rats were exposed to isoflurane and sevoflurane for 2 or 4h.

A New DEM Generalization Method Based on Watershed and Tree Structure.

The DEM generalization is the basis of multi-dimensional observation, the basis of expressing and analyzing the terrain. DEM is also the core of building the Multi-Scale Geographic Database. Thus, many researchers have studied both the theory and the method of DEM generalization.
