Architecture-driven quantitative nanoscopy maps cytoskeleton remodeling.

Cytoskeleton remodeling which generates force and orchestrates signaling and trafficking to govern cell migration remains poorly understood, partly due to a lack of an investigation tool with high system flexibility, spatiotemporal resolution, and computational sensitivity. Herein, we developed a multimodal superresolution imaging system-based architecture-driven quantitative (ADQ) framework in spatiotemporal-angular hyperspace to enable both identification of the optimal imaging mode with well-balanced fidelity and phototoxicity and accurate postcharacterization of microtubule remodeling. In the ADQ framework, a pixel/voxel-wise metric reflecting heterogeneous intertubule alignment was proposed with improved sensitivity over previous efforts and further incorporated with temporal features to map dynamic microtubule rearrangements. The ADQ framework was verified by assessing microtubule remodeling in drug-induced (de)polymerization, lysosome transport, and migration. Different remodeling patterns from two migration modes were successfully revealed by the ADQ framework, with a front-rear polarization for individual directed migration and a contact site-centered polarization for cell-cell interaction-induced migration in an immune response model. Meanwhile, these migration modes were found to have consistent orientation changes, which exhibited the potential of predicting migration trajectory.

Effects of conservative-militant defection strategies on the evolution of cooperation in social dilemma.

Competition in the international arena and business realm offers avenues for individual growth and advancement. Individuals using different means of competition can obtain unequal rewards. This paper claims that when no consensus is reached in business activities, defectors will choose conservative or militant defection strategies during market competition. Conservative defectors, who are in a comparatively weak position, need to pay the costs brought by market share losses. However, their personal abilities cannot be ignored, which prompts them to bravely choose the conservative defection strategy. This brings rewards to conservative defectors. Militant defectors, typically in stronger positions, also receive greater rewards. Research results establish an evolutionary game model of three strategies, the cooperation strategy, the conservative defection strategy, and the militant defection strategy. After the system is stable, this model displays two stable states. Through numerical simulation, it can be found that the personal abilities of conservative defectors play a decisive role in promoting cooperation. However, the market share losses of conservative defectors have periodical impacts on cooperation. Moreover, the threats of militant defectors to cooperation should be comprehensively considered in combination with the personal abilities of conservative defectors.

[Research progress on the correlation between intestinal microecology and sepsis].

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection, with increasing mortality as septic shock and organ failure progress. Mechanisms such as vascular endothelial dysfunction, microcirculatory disorders, coagulation abnormalities, immune suppression, mitochondrial damage, cell pyroptosis, ferroptosis, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and autophagy play crucial roles in organ dysfunction and death caused by sepsis. Concurrently, the imbalance of the gut microbiota also plays an undeniable role in the development of sepsis, with recent studies demonstrating a close connection between the gut microbiome and sepsis. Thus, how to improve the prognosis of patients with sepsis by reconstructing gut microbiota has become a focus of interest for critical care physicians. This article reviews the research progress on the correlation between gut microbiota and sepsis, providing clinical physicians with more therapeutic strategies to improve patient prognosis.

NUP37 accumulation mediated by TRIM28 enhances lipid synthesis to accelerate HCC progression.

Elevated intracellular lipid synthesis is important for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression. Our study aimed to identify the role of nucleoporin 37 (NUP37) in lipid synthesis and HCC progression. The expression of NUP37 was significantly upregulated in HCC and associated with a poor prognosis. NUP37 silencing suppressed lipid synthesis, proliferation, migration, and invasion of HCC cells in vitro, and restrained tumor growth in xenograft mouse models in vivo. Next, we found the high expression of NUP37 in HCC was related to post-translational modifications. Tripartite motif-containing 28 (TRIM28) was identified as an interacting protein of NUP37 and upregulated its protein level. The subsequent analysis revealed that TRIM28-mediated SUMOylation of NUP37 at Lys114/118/246 inhibited K27-linked polyubiquitination of NUP37, which is one reason for its high expression level in HCC. In conclusion, TRIM28 SUMOylates NUP37 to prevent its ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation, increasing the stability of the NUP37 protein, thereby promoting lipid synthesis and the progression of HCC.

Sevoflurane anesthesia during late gestation induces cognitive disorder in rat offspring via the TLR4/BDNF/TrkB/CREB pathway.

Sevoflurane (Sevo) is widely used for general anesthesia during pregnancy. Emerging evidence indicates that maternal Sevo exposure can trigger developmental neurotoxicity in the offspring. Nonetheless, the underlying mechanisms need further investigation. Pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats on gestational day 18 were exposed to 3.5% Sevo to induce the rat model of neurotoxicity. TAK-242, a TLR4 inhibitor, was administrated to inhibit the signaling transduction. Hippocampal tissues of rat offspring were harvested for immunohistochemical staining, TUNEL staining, Western blotting, ELISA, and measurement of oxidative stress-related markers. Serum samples were collected to evaluate lipid metabolism-associated factors. Morris water maze was implemented to test the cognitive function of offspring rats. Rat hippocampal neurons were isolated to elucidate the effect of TAK-242 on the BDNF/TrkB/CREB signaling in vitro. The results showed that maternal Sevo exposure during the third trimester induced neuroinflammation, lipid metabolism disturbance, and oxidative stress, and impaired the spatial learning and memory of rat offspring. Sevo upregulated TLR4 and impeded BDNF/TrkB/CREB signaling transduction in the hippocampus of rat offspring; TAK-242 administration reversed these effects. In conclusion, Sevo anesthesia during late gestation impairs the learning and memory ability of rat offspring possibly by promoting neuroinflammation and disturbing lipid metabolism via the TLR4/BDNF/TrkB/CREB pathway.

YTHDF1 regulates GID8-mediated glutamine metabolism to promote colorectal cancer progression in m6A-dependent manner.

Dysregulation of epigenetics is a hallmark of cancer development, and YTHDF1 stands out as a crucial epigenetic regulator with the highest DNA copy number variation among all N6-methyladenosine (m6A) regulators in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Here, we aimed to investigate the specific contribution of YTHDF1 overexpression to CRC progression and its consequences. Through multiple bioinformatic analyses of human cancer databases and clinical CRC samples, we identified GID8/Twa1 as a crucial downstream target of YTHDF1. YTHDF1 manipulates GID8 translation efficiency in an m6A-dependent manner, and high expression of GID8 is associated with more aggressive tumor progression and poor overall survival. Mechanistically, GID8 is intimately associated with glutamine metabolic demands by maintaining active glutamine uptake and metabolism through the regulation of excitatory amino acid transporter 1 (SLC1A3) and glutaminase (GLS), thereby facilitating the malignant progression of CRC. Inhibition of GID8 attenuated CRC proliferation and metastasis both in vitro and in vivo. In summary, we identified a previously unknown target pertaining to glutamine uptake and metabolism in tumor cells, underscoring the potential of GID8 in the treatment of CRC.

USP7 Promotes TGF-ß1 Signaling by De-Ubiquitinating Smad2/Smad3 in Pulmonary Fibrosis.

BACKGROUND: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a long-term, progressive, and irreversible pulmonary interstitial disease. The activation of Smad family member 2 (Smad2) and Smad3 transcription factors by transforming growth factor ß-1 (TGF-ß1) is a critical event in the pathogenesis of IPF. However, there is still a lack of understanding regarding the molecular mechanisms governing Smad2 and Smad3 proteins. Ubiquitin-specific protease 7 (USP7) is a deubiquitinase that plays a vital role in regulating protein stability within cells. However, its regulation of the TGF-ß signaling pathway and its significance in IPF remain undiscovered. This study aims to clarify the function of USP7 in the TGF-ß signaling pathway, while simultaneously exploring the specific molecular mechanisms involved. Additionally, this study seeks to evaluate the therapeutic potential of targeted USP7 inhibitors in IPF, thereby providing novel insights for the diagnosis and management of IPF. METHODS: We first detected the expression of USP7 in lung tissues of mice with Bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis and in Beas-2B cells treated with or without TGF-ß1 through Western blot analysis. Subsequently, we explored the influence of USP7 on fibrotic processes and the TGF-ß1 signaling pathway, utilizing in vitro and in vivo studies. Finally, we assessed the effectiveness of USP7-specific inhibitors in an IPF murine model. RESULTS: In the present study, USP7 was found to de-ubiquitinate Smad2 and Smad3, consequently increasing their stability and promoting the TGF-ß1-induced production of profibrotic proteins including α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and fibronectin 1 (FN-1). Inhibition or knockdown of USP7 resulted in decreased levels of Smad2 and Smad3 proteins, leading to reduced expression of FN-1, Collagen Type I Alpha 1 Chain (Col1A1), and α-SMA induced by TGF-ß1 in human pulmonary epithelial cells. These findings demonstrate that overexpression of USP7 reduces Smad2/3 ubiquitination, whereas inhibition or knockdown of USP7 enhances their ubiquitination. USP7 is abundantly expressed in IPF lungs. The expressions of USP7, Smad2, and Smad3 were upregulated in bleomycin-induced lung injury. The USP7 inhibitor P22077 reduced the expression of FN-1 and type I collagen as well as Smad2/3 and collagen deposition in lung tissue in a model of pulmonary fibrosis induced by bleomycin. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that USP7 promotes TGF-ß1 signaling by stabilizing Smad2 and Smad3. The contribution of USP7 to the progression of IPF indicates it may be a viable treatment target.

Constructing Pd and Cu Crowding Single Atoms by Protein Confinement to Promote Sonogashira Reaction.

For multicenter-catalyzed reactions, it is important to accurately construct heterogeneous catalysts containing multiple active centers with high activity and low cost, which is more challenging compared to homogeneous catalysts because of the low activity and spatial confinement of active centers in the loaded state. Herein, a convenient protein confinement strategy is reported to locate Pd and Cu single atoms in crowding state on carbon coated alumina for promoting Sonogashira reaction, the most powerful method for constructing the acetylenic moiety in molecules. The single-atomic Pd and Cu centers take advantage in not only the maximized atomic utilization for low cost, but also the much-enhanced performance by facilitating the activation of aryl halides and alkynes. Their locally crowded dispersion brings them closer to each other, which facilitates the transmetallation process of acetylide intermediates between them. Thus, the Sonogashira reaction is drove smoothly by the obtained catalyst with a turnover frequency value of 313 h-1, much more efficiently than that by commercial Pd/C and CuI catalyst, conventional Pd and Cu nanocatalysts, and mixed Pd and Cu single-atom catalyst. The obtained catalyst also exhibits the outstanding durability in the recycling test.

Deficiency of SIAH1 promotes the formation of filopodia by increasing the accumulation of FASN in liver cancer.

It has been shown that the formation of filopodia is a key step in tumor cell metastasis, but there is limited research regarding its mechanism. In this study, we demonstrated that fatty acid synthase (FASN) promoted filopodia formation in liver cancer cells by regulating fascin actin-bundling protein 1 (FSCN1), a marker protein for filopodia. Mechanistically, on the one hand, the accumulation of FASN is caused by the enhanced deubiquitination of FASN mediated by UCHL5 (ubiquitin c-terminal hydrolase L5). In this pathway, low expression of SIAH1 (Seven in absentia homolog 1) can decrease the ubiquitination and degradation of ADRM1 (adhesion regulating molecule 1) thereby increasing its protein level, which will recruit and activate the deubiquitination enzyme UCHL5, leading to FASN undergo deubiquitination and escape from proteasomal degradation. On the other hand, the accumulation of FASN is related to its weakened ubiquitination, where SIAH1 directly acts as a ubiquitin ligase toward FASN, and low expression of SIAH1 reduces the ubiquitination and degradation of FASN. Both the two pathways are involved in the regulation of FASN in liver cancer. Our results reveal a novel mechanism for FASN accumulation due to the low expression of SIAH1 in human liver cancer and suggest an important role of FASN in filopodia formation in liver cancer cells.

SIAH2 suppresses c-JUN pathway by promoting the polyubiquitination and degradation of HBx in hepatocellular carcinoma.

As an important protein encoded by hepatitis B virus (HBV), HBV X protein (HBx) plays an important role in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It has been shown that seven in absentia homologue 1 (SIAH1) could regulates the degradation of HBx through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. However, as a member of SIAH family, the regulatory effects of SIAH2 on HBx remain unclear. In this study, we first confirmed that SIAH2 could reduce the protein levels of HBx depending on its E3 ligase activity. Moreover, SIAH2 interacted with HBx and induced its K48-linked polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Furthermore, we provided evidence that SIAH2 inhibits HBx-associated HCC cells proliferation by regulating HBx. In conclusion, our study identified a novel role for SIAH2 in promoting HBx degradation and SIAH2 exerts an inhibitory effect in the proliferation of HBx-associated HCC through inducing the degradation of HBx. Our study provides a new idea for the targeted degradation of HBx and may have great huge significance into providing novel evidence for the targeted therapy of HBV-infected HCC.

Long range topography by dispersion unmatched spectral-domain interferometry based on virtually imaged phased array modes.

We propose to realize a long range topography by dispersion unmatched spectral-domain interferometry based on virtually imaged phased array (VIPA) modes. By filtering the continuous spectrum of a supercontinuum source through a side-entrance Fabry-Perot etalon configured at two input angles, two groups of VIPA modes are generated. A method based on unmatched dispersion is proposed for non-aliasing reconstruction of the true depth from the interference spectrum under-sampled at two groups of VIPA modes. With the high spectral resolution provided by the VIPA modes instead of the grating-based spectrometer, only a 10 dB falloff in sensitivity over a range of 10 mm was demonstrated. The feasibility of the proposed method was confirmed by topography of a sample of gauge blocks and a model of three-dimensional (3D) printed tooth. The occlusal surface of the tooth model was further quantitatively evaluated, demonstrating its potential application in long range 3D topography.

Single-cluster anchored on PC6 monolayer as high-performance electrocatalyst for carbon dioxide reduction reaction: First principles study.

Tremendous challenges remain to develop high-efficient catalysts for carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) owing to the poor activity and low selectivity. However, the activity of catalyst with single active site is limited by the linear scaling relationship between the adsorption energy of intermediates. Motivated by the idea of multiple activity centers, triple metal clusters (M = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Pd, and Rh) doped PC6 monolayer (M3@PC6) were constructed in this study to investigate the CO2RR catalytic performance via density functional theory calculations. Results shows Mn3@PC6, Fe3@PC6, and Co3@PC6 exhibit high activity and selectivity for the reduction of CO2 to CH4 with limiting potentials of -0.32, -0.28, and -0.31 V, respectively. Analysis on the high-performance origin shows the more binding sites in M3@PC6 render the triple-atom anchored catalysts (TACs) high ability in regulating the binding strength with intermediates by self-adjusting the charges and conformation, leading to the improved performance of M3@PC6 than dual-atom doped PC6. This work manifests the huge application of PC6 based TACs in CO2RR, which hope to prove valuable guidance for the application of TACs in a broader range of electrochemical reactions.

Neem Leaf Extract Exhibits Anti-Aging and Antioxidant Effects from Yeast to Human Cells.

Neem leaves have long been used in traditional medicine for promoting longevity. However, the precise mechanisms underlying their anti-aging effects remain elusive. In this study, we investigated the impact of neem leaf extract (NLE) extracted from a 50% ethanol solution on the chronological lifespan of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, revealing an extension in lifespan, heightened oxidative stress resistance, and a reduction in reactive oxygen species. To discern the active compounds in NLE, LC/MS and the GNPS platform were employed. The majority of identified active compounds were found to be flavonoids. Subsequently, compound-target pharmacological networks were constructed using the STP and STITCH platforms for both S. cerevisiae and Homo sapiens. GOMF and KEGG enrichment analyses of the predicted targets revealed that "oxidoreductase activity" was among the top enriched terms in both yeast and human cells. These suggested a potential regulation of oxidative stress response (OSR) by NLE. RNA-seq analysis of NLE-treated yeast corroborated the anti-oxidative effect, with "oxidoreductase activity" and "oxidation-reduction process" ranking high in enriched GO terms. Notably, CTT1, encoding catalase, emerged as the most significantly up-regulated gene within the "oxidoreductase activity" cluster. In a ctt1 null mutant, the enhanced oxidative stress resistance and extended lifespan induced by NLE were nullified. For human cells, NLE pretreatment demonstrated a decrease in reactive oxygen species levels and senescence-associated ß-galactosidase activity in HeLa cells, indicative of anti-aging and anti-oxidative effects. This study unveils the anti-aging and anti-oxidative properties of NLE while delving into their mechanisms, providing novel insights for pharmacological interventions in aging using phytochemicals.

Day-to-Night Street View Image Generation for 24-Hour Urban Scene Auditing Using Generative AI.

A smarter city should be a safer city. Nighttime safety in metropolitan areas has long been a global concern, particularly for large cities with diverse demographics and intricate urban forms, whose citizens are often threatened by higher street-level crime rates. However, due to the lack of night-time urban appearance data, prior studies based on street view imagery (SVI) rarely addressed the perceived night-time safety issue, which can generate important implications for crime prevention. This study hypothesizes that night-time SVI can be effectively generated from widely existing daytime SVIs using generative AI (GenAI). To test the hypothesis, this study first collects pairwise day-and-night SVIs across four cities diverged in urban landscapes to construct a comprehensive day-and-night SVI dataset. It then trains and validates a day-to-night (D2N) model with fine-tuned brightness adjustment, effectively transforming daytime SVIs to nighttime ones for distinct urban forms tailored for urban scene perception studies. Our findings indicate that: (1) the performance of D2N transformation varies significantly by urban-scape variations related to urban density; (2) the proportion of building and sky views are important determinants of transformation accuracy; (3) within prevailed models, CycleGAN maintains the consistency of D2N scene conversion, but requires abundant data. Pix2Pix achieves considerable accuracy when pairwise day-and-night-night SVIs are available and are sensitive to data quality. StableDiffusion yields high-quality images with expensive training costs. Therefore, CycleGAN is most effective in balancing the accuracy, data requirement, and cost. This study contributes to urban scene studies by constructing a first-of-its-kind D2N dataset consisting of pairwise day-and-night SVIs across various urban forms. The D2N generator will provide a cornerstone for future urban studies that heavily utilize SVIs to audit urban environments.

Oxygen Coordination Promotes Single-Atom Cu(II)-Catalyzed Azide-Alkyne Click Chemistry without Reducing Agents.

Unique active sites make single-atom (SA) catalysts promising to overcome obstacles in homogeneous catalysis but challenging due to their fixed coordination environment. Click chemistry is restricted by the low activity of more available Cu(II) catalysts without reducing agents. Herein, we develop efficient, O-coordinated SA Cu(II) directly catalyzed click chemistry. As revealed by theoretical calculations of the superior coordination structure to promote the click reaction, an organic molecule-assisted strategy is applied to prepare the corresponding SA Cu catalysts with respective O and N coordination. Although they both belong to Cu(II) centers, the O-coordinated one exhibits a 5-fold higher activity than the other and even much better activity than traditional homogeneous and heterogeneous Cu(II) catalysts. Control experiments further proved that the O-coordinated SA Cu(II) catalyst tends to be reduced by alkyne into Cu acetylide rather than the N-coordinated catalyst and thus facilitates click chemistry.

Association between oral microbiome and five types of respiratory infections: a two-sample Mendelian randomization study in east Asian population.

Objective: To explore the causal relationship between the oral microbiome and specific respiratory infections including tonsillitis, chronic sinusitis, bronchiectasis, bronchitis, and pneumonia, assessing the impact of genetic variations associated with the oral microbiome. Methods: Mendelian randomization was used to analyze genetic variations, leveraging data from genome-wide association studies in an East Asian cohort to identify connections between specific oral microbiota and respiratory infections. Results: Our analysis revealed that Prevotella, Streptococcus, Fusobacterium, Pauljensenia, and Capnocytophaga play crucial roles in influencing respiratory infections. Prevotella is associated with both promoting bronchitis and inhibiting pneumonia and tonsillitis, with a mixed effect on chronic sinusitis. Streptococcus and Fusobacterium show varied impacts on respiratory diseases, with Fusobacterium promoting chronic sinusitis, bronchiectasis, and bronchitis. Conversely, Pauljensenia and Capnocytophaga are linked to reduced bronchitis and tonsillitis, and inhibited pneumonia and bronchitis, respectively. Discussion: These findings underscore the significant impact of the oral microbiome on respiratory health, suggesting potential strategies for disease prevention and management through microbiome targeting. The study highlights the complexity of microbial influences on respiratory infections and the importance of further research to elucidate these relationships.

Unveiling the gastric microbiota: implications for gastric carcinogenesis, immune responses, and clinical prospects.

High-throughput sequencing has ushered in a paradigm shift in gastric microbiota, breaking the stereotype that the stomach is hostile to microorganisms beyond H. pylori. Recent attention directed toward the composition and functionality of this 'community' has shed light on its potential relevance in cancer. The microbial composition in the stomach of health displays host specificity which changes throughout a person's lifespan and is subject to both external and internal factors. Distinctive alterations in gastric microbiome signature are discernible at different stages of gastric precancerous lesions and malignancy. The robust microbes that dominate in gastric malignant tissue are intricately implicated in gastric cancer susceptibility, carcinogenesis, and the modulation of immunosurveillance and immune escape. These revelations offer fresh avenues for utilizing gastric microbiota as predictive biomarkers in clinical settings. Furthermore, inter-individual microbiota variations partially account for differential responses to cancer immunotherapy. In this review, we summarize current literature on the influence of the gastric microbiota on gastric carcinogenesis, anti-tumor immunity and immunotherapy, providing insights into potential clinical applications.

B cells mediate lung ischemia/reperfusion injury by recruiting classical monocytes via synergistic B cell receptor/TLR4 signaling.

Ischemia/reperfusion injury-mediated (IRI-mediated) primary graft dysfunction (PGD) adversely affects both short- and long-term outcomes after lung transplantation, a procedure that remains the only treatment option for patients suffering from end-stage respiratory failure. While B cells are known to regulate adaptive immune responses, their role in lung IRI is not well understood. Here, we demonstrated by intravital imaging that B cells are rapidly recruited to injured lungs, where they extravasate into the parenchyma. Using hilar clamping and transplant models, we observed that lung-infiltrating B cells produce the monocyte chemokine CCL7 in a TLR4-TRIF-dependent fashion, a critical step contributing to classical monocyte (CM) recruitment and subsequent neutrophil extravasation, resulting in worse lung function. We found that synergistic BCR-TLR4 activation on B cells is required for the recruitment of CMs to the injured lung. Finally, we corroborated our findings in reperfused human lungs, in which we observed a correlation between B cell infiltration and CM recruitment after transplantation. This study describes a role for B cells as critical orchestrators of lung IRI. As B cells can be depleted with currently available agents, our study provides a rationale for clinical trials investigating B cell-targeting therapies.

The effect of anxiety on sleep disorders in medical students: a moderated mediation model.

The relationship between anxiety and sleep disorders is a key research topic in the academic community. However, evidence on the mechanism through which anxiety influences sleep disorders remains limited. The purpose of this study was to investigate the roles of flourishing and neuroticism in the mechanism through which anxiety influences sleep disorders in medical students. We constructed a moderated mediation model and tested the mediating role of flourishing and the moderating role of neuroticism in medical college students. The results showed that: (1) anxiety was significantly and positively related to sleep disorders and significantly and negatively related to flourishing; flourishing was significantly and negatively related to sleep disorders; neuroticism was significantly and positively related to sleep disorders; (2) flourishing had a mediation effect on the relationship between anxiety and sleep disorders; (3) neuroticism moderated the process through which flourishing mediated the effect of anxiety on sleep disorders. Our research expands the literature on the mechanism underlying the effects of anxiety on sleep disorders and provides insights into the potential prevention and intervention of sleep and emotional problems in medical students.

Efficacy of acupuncture therapy on cancer-related insomnia: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Objectives: Cancer-related insomnia (CRI) takes a toll on many cancer survivors, causing distressing symptoms and deteriorating the quality of life. Acupuncture therapy has been used for CRI already. However, it is still uncertain which acupuncture regime is best for CRI. The primary objective of this review is to conduct a comparative evaluation and ranking of the effectiveness of different acupuncture therapies for CRI. Methods: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that were published up to July 31, 2023, from 8 databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, VIP Database, and China Biology Medicine disc) were integrated in this study. Trials that met the inclusion criteria were evaluated the risk of bias. Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) was used to assess the efficacy of different acupuncture therapies as the primary outcome. Then, STATA 15, R, and OpenBUGS were applied to perform the network meta-analysis. PRISMA statements were followed in this network meta-analysis. Results: A total of 37 studies were included in this review, involving 16 interventions with 3,246 CRI participants. Auriculotherapy + moxibustion [surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) 98.98%] and auriculotherapy (SUCRA 77.47%) came out top of the ranking, which were more effective than control, medicine, usual care and sham acupuncture. Conclusion: Auriculotherapy + moxibustion and auriculotherapy + acupuncture emerged as the top two acupuncture regimes for CRI and future studies should pay more attention to CRI.
