Association between alcohol consumption and sleep traits: observational and mendelian randomization studies in the UK biobank.

Previous studies have shown that excessive alcohol consumption is associated with poor sleep. However, the health risks of light-to-moderate alcohol consumption in relation to sleep traits (e.g.

The combined effects of arteriosclerosis and diabetes on cardiovascular disease risk.

The morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular disease (CVD) rank first among common diseases. Arteriosclerosis and diabetes are risk factors for CVDs, which influence each other. However, their combined effects on CVDs are still unclear.

Full neurological recovery from severe nonexertional heat stroke with multiple organ dysfunction: A case report.

Background: We report a rare case of full neurological recovery from severe nonexertional heat stroke in a 67-year-old woman with an initial Glasgow Coma Scale of 3. This report raises awareness among doctors that when heatstroke is diagnosed, comprehensive treatment should be implemented as soon as possible. Moreover, targeted temperature management, combination therapy with hemodialysis and hemoperfusion, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy may alleviate multiorgan failure and prevent neurological sequelae caused by heatstroke.

[Appropriate Use and Abuse of Sedative-Hypnotic Drugs].

The incidence of insomnia has been increasing in recent years. In addition, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, more and more people are experiencing a variety of insomniac problems, including having difficulty in sleep initation, waking up too early, and short sleep duration. Chronic insomnia may seriously affect patients' life and work, increase their risks of developing physical and mental illnesses, and cause crushing social and economic burdens.

Efficacy and tolerability of pharmacological treatments for insomnia in adults: A systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Insomnia is one of the most common and burdensome disorders in adults. We compared and ranked insomnia medication on the basis of their efficacy and tolerability. We performed a systematic review and network meta-analysis of placebo-controlled or head-to-head randomized controlled trials for primary insomnia in adults comparing 20 drugs.

Microvascular decompression for a patient with oculomotor palsy caused by posterior cerebral artery compression: A case report and literature review.

Background: Aneurysm compression, diabetes, and traumatic brain injury are well-known causative factors of oculomotor nerve palsy (ONP), while cases of ONP induced by neurovascular conflicts have rarely been reported in the medical community. Here, we report a typical case of ONP caused by right posterior cerebral artery (PCA) compression to increase neurosurgeons' awareness of the disease and reduce misdiagnosis and recurrence.

Case Summary: A 54-year-old man without a known medical history presented with right ONP for the past 5 years.

A Special Phenotype of Aconidial SH2 and Its Mechanism of Formation via CRISPRi.

The complex morphological structure of influences its production of proteins, metabolites, etc., making the genetic manipulation and clonal purification of this species increasingly difficult, especially in aconidial . In this study, we found that N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) could induce the formation of spore-like propagules in the aconidial SH2 strain.

Global prevalence of digital addiction in general population: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

The present meta-analytic review aimed to synthesize the global prevalence characteristics of digital addiction in the general population. We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and PsycINFO for studies reporting prevalence of various subtypes of digital addiction published before October 31, 2021. Studies were eligible if they were published in peer-reviewed journals, used a validated tool to assess digital addiction, and passed the qualify assessment.

Proof-of-principle demonstration of measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution based on intrinsically stable polarization-modulated units.

The experimental demonstration of measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD) has been widely demonstrated. Thus far, several experimental groups have implemented polarization encoding MDI-QKD but with manual polarization controllers, or polarization modulators that make circular polarization states unstable. Here, we apply an intrinsically stable polarization-modulated unit (PMU) to MDI-QKD so that Alice and Bob can modulate four BB84 polarization states, all of which can be kept stable from even the harsh environment.

[Therapeutic effect of acupuncture treatment on ischemic hypoxic neonate rats with cerebral palsy].

Objective: To explore the mechanisms of acupuncture treatment promoting the motor function recovery of neonate rats with cerebral palsy.

Methods: The improved hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) means was performed to establish the model of neonate rats with cerebral palsy. All neonate rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: sham group, model group and acupuncture group (n = 20).

Effects of rhubarb on isolated gastric muscle strips of guinea pigs.

Aim: To study the effects of rhubarb (dried root of Rheum officinale Baill.) on contractile activity of isolated gastric muscle strips of guinea pigs and its possible mechanism.

Methods: A total of 48 guinea pigs were killed to remove the whole stomach.

[A non-resonance surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopic study of hemin on a roughened silver electrode].

The non-resonance Raman spectra of hemin were studied with the excitation of a 632.8 nm laser. The results indicated that the spectra of oxidized and reduced hemin are dominated by B1g vibration modes.

[Surface-enhanced Raman spectrum studies of CO adsorbed on platinum electrodes in non-aqueous acetonitrile system].

In the non-aqueous acetonitrile solution, recurring to the confocal Raman system, we studied the catalysis and oxidation of carbon monoxide on the surface of platinum electrode utilizing surface-enhanced Raman spectrum (SERS). As the movement of the potential, the process of the catalysis and oxidation interacted with the surrounding molecular. In the present paper, the catalysis and oxidation of carbon monoxide on the surface of platinum electrode was not clearly observed, but also the dissociation of acetonitrile was discovered simultaneously.
