Lemborexant is a competitive antagonist of dual orexin receptors indicated for the treatment of adult patients with insomnia characterized by difficulties with sleep onset and/or sleep maintenance that occur at least three nights per week for ≥3 months, although there is adequate opportunity for sleep. There has been no published study of its efficacy and safety in treating patients from China with insomnia. In this case report, we present four adult patients from China with insomnia who were successfully treated with add-on lemborexant or switched from benzodiazepines or Z-drugs to lemborexant. None of the four patients experienced any discomforts related to lemborexant use. In conclusion, lemborexant treatment was effective and safe in treating the four patients from China with insomnia in this case report, and more studies are warranted to further assess the efficacy and safety of lemborexant in treating patients from China with insomnia.

Atherosclerosis risk is elevated in diabetic patients, but the underlying mechanism such as the involvement of macrophages remains unclear. Here, we investigated the underlying mechanism related to the pro-inflammatory activation of macrophages in the development of diabetic atherosclerosis. Bioinformatics tools were used to analyze the macrophage-related transcriptome differences in patients with atherosclerosis and diabetic mice.

Objective: To review and compare robot-assisted ipsilateral ureteroureterostomy (RALUU) and laparoscopic ipsilateral uretero-ureterostomy (LUU) in terms of efficacy and outcomes.
Methods: Clinical data of 65 children with complete renal ureteral duplication deformity admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2015 to December 2022 were collected. Among these, 42 patients underwent laparoscopic ureteroureterostomy (LUU), designated as the LUU group, while 23 patients received robot-assisted laparoscopic ureteroureterostomy (RALUU), designated as the RALUU group.

Introduction: In this study, we analyzed the psychological aspects of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients who were discharged from the hospitals in Shanghai, China, and later had positive nucleic acid retest results for the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron variant infection (re-positive COVID-19). The purpose was to gain clarity on the patients' needs and to provide evidence for the medical staff to deliver scientific and targeted health care to the patients.
Methodology: We screened patients who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant infection by nucleic acid testing after having previously recovered from a COVID-19 infection and being discharged from Shanghai shelter hospitals or COVID-19-designated hospitals from April 3, 2022, to May 10, 2022.
