Case Reports
Acquired crizotinib-resistant pulmonary adenocarcinoma and subsequent primary gallbladder cancer: A case report.
Proto-oncogene-oriented targeted therapy has limited benefits in elderly patients with multiple primary tumors. ⋯ For diagnosing, precision bioinformatics analysis and repeat biopsy are equally valuable. For therapy, potential therapy such as p53 gene replacement therapy and CAR-T therapy need to be practiced for senescence-related conditions.

To analyze the effect of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in perioperative patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for gastric cancer (GC). ⋯ ERAS for perioperative patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for GC can effectively shorten the postoperative rehabilitation cycle of patients, improve surgical safety and reduce treatment costs.

The relationship between transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF- β1) gene polymorphisms and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has been reported in many studies, but there were still controversies with regard to their conclusions. ⋯ TGF-β1 T869C, C509T, G915C polymorphisms might not be associated with the development of SLE.

Case Reports
Patent foramen ovale-associated stroke repeatedly misdiagnosed as cerebral small vessel disease: A case report.
Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the most commonly used screening method for cardiac structural abnormalities. However, it may lead to a missed diagnosis of partial patent foramen ovale (PFO)-associated stroke. ⋯ TTE has a low detection rate of PFO, such that it is easily missed. Contrast-enhanced transcranial Doppler is easy to operate and should be promoted as a supplementary measure to stroke etiological investigation and primary PFO screening.

Insomnia is a sleep disorder which severely affects patients mood, quality of life and social functioning, serves as a trigger or risk factor to a variety of diseases such as depression, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, obesity and diabetes, and even increases the risk of suicide, and has become an increasingly widespread concern worldwide. Considerable research on insomnia has been conducted in modern medicine in recent years and encouraging results have been achieved in the fields of genetics and neurobiology. ⋯ As an important component of complementary and alternative medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, especially non-pharmacological treatment methods such as acupuncture, is gaining increasing attention worldwide. In this article, we discuss the combination of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, and medicine to treat insomnia based on neurobiology in the context of modern medicine.
