Objective: To analyze resting state electroencephalography (EEG) theta/beta power ratio (TBR) and motor development characteristics in children aged 4-8 years with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and typically developing children, so as to examine the association between TBR in brain regions showing ADHD related differences and motor coordination ability. Methods: From July to September 2025, a total of 80 children aged 4-8 years were enrolled (40 in the ADHD group were recruited at Beijing Children s Hospital and 40 in the typically developing control group were recruited at a kindergarten and a primary school in Weifang). Three minute eyes open resting state EEG was collected to calculate TBR in the frontal, central, parietal, temporal, and occipital regions. The Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2 (MABC-2) and the Test of Gross Motor Development-3 (TGMD-3) were used to assess motor development. Between group comparisons were performed using t-test and analysis of covariance. Pearson correlation and partial correlation analyses were used to explore the relationships between regional TBR and motor development indicators; multiple linear regression analysis was used to examine the predictive effect of regional TBR on motor development. Results: After adjustment, TBR in the frontal, central, parietal, and temporal regions was higher in the ADHD group than in the control group (all P <0.05). After adjustment, TGMD-3 object control skill scores (32.50±1.22 ，38.65±1.06) and total scores (71.05±1.98, 80.25±1.72), as well as MABC-2 fine motor (7.02±0.22, 8.96± 0.19), coordination (7.52±0.23, 8.40±0.20), balance (7.25±0.24, 8.98±0.21), and total scores (21.79±0.51, 26.34± 0.44 ), were lower in the ADHD group than in the control group ( F =6.85, 6.48, 22.50, 5.16, 13.75, 28.60, all P <0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that within the ADHD group, central and parietal TBR were negatively correlated with MABC-2 total score ( r = -0.32 , -0.34, both P <0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that after controlling for sex, age, height, weight, and body mass index in children with ADHD, parietal TBR remained negatively associated with MABC-2 total score ( β =-0.21, P <0.05). Conclusion ADHD related cortical arousal characteristics in children aged 4-8 years may be associated with their motor deficits.

Abstract Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) exhibit abnormal brain structural development, neurotransmitter imbalance, and dysregulation of brain functional networks. Exercise can promote brain plasticity through multiple pathways, including promoting neurogenesis, enhancing synaptic plasticity, regulating neurotrophic factor expression, and improving cerebral blood flow and cerebral metabolism. It can also improve attention, executive function, and behavioral performance by enhancing prefrontal functional activity, optimizing brain network connectivity, and regulating neurotransmitter systems. To elucidate the role of exercise intervention in improving brain plasticity in children with ADHD, the review summarizes the abnormal characteristics of brain plasticity in children with ADHD, the main mechanisms by which exercise promotes brain plasticity, and related empirical advances. Future research should strengthen standardized intervention studies and incorporate multimodal indicators to further verify the mechanisms underlying the effects of exercise intervention.

Objective: To analyze the prevalence trends and associated factors of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents in Macao from 2005 to 2020, so as to provide evidence for developing health promotion strategies. Methods: Data were obtained from the Macao Citizen Physical Fitness Monitoring Database for the years 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020 for participants aged 6-22 years. The χ 2 test was employed to analyze trends in detection rates, while univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify influencing factors. Results: The overweight rate among Macaos children and adolescents increased from 10.4% in 2005 to 14.8% in 2020. The obesity rate rose from 6.8% to 12.1%, with the total detection rate increasing from 17.2% to 26.9%, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ 2 trend =46.7, 87.5, 145.9, P <0.01). Notably, the overweight/obesity rate among boys showed rapid growth ( χ 2 trend = 118.6, P <0.01), while girls exhibited a declining inflection point in 2020. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that children and adolescents with the following characteristics faced higher risks of overweight/obesity: a physical education performance score of 3 points (overweight: OR=2.34, 95%CI =1.10-4.96; obesity: OR=2.39, 95%CI =1.19-4.81), paternal obesity (overweight: OR=2.07, 95%CI =1.38-3.11; obesity: OR=1.51, 95%CI = 1.01-2.27), and maternal obesity (overweight: OR=1.69, 95%CI =1.08-2.63; obesity: OR=1.77, 95%CI =1.16- 2.71 ) ( P <0.05). Conversely, lower risks were observed in those who performed appropriate warm-up activities before exercise (obesity: OR=0.37, 95%CI =0.15-0.95), participated in two academic/non-sports extracurricular classes (obesity: OR=0.46, 95%CI =0.24-0.88), and reported moderate physical exertion during extracurricular exercise (obesity: OR=0.60, 95%CI =0.36-0.98) ( P <0.05) . Conclusions Overweight and obesity among Macao s children and adolescents remain severe, particularly among boys, while girls show early signs of improvement. It is recommended to establish a multi-sectoral collaborative prevention and control system to reduce childhood and adolescent obesity.

Objective:To explore the value of amide proton transfer weighted imaging (APTWI) combined with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression in predicting pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in breast cancer.Methods:The study was a cross-sectional study. Clinicopathological [estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), HER2, Ki-67 status, and molecular subtypes] and imaging data were retrospectively analyzed in 100 female patients who had invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast confirmed pathologically by preoperative puncture in the Henan Cancer Hospital from May 2023 to May 2024. All patients underwent MRI, including enhanced MRI, APTWI, and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) before NAC. The reference enhanced MRI images were segmented into lesions using the threshold extraction method, and the three-dimensional region of interest within the tumor was automatically outlined by the software and replicated in the amide proton transfer map generated by APTWI and the apparent diffuse coefficient (ADC) map generated by DWI. The magnetization transfer ratio asymmetry (MTRasym) value and the ADC value were measured, respectively. Tumor response to NAC was assessed using the Miller-Payne grading system, where Grade 5 indicated pCR and Grades 1-4 were classified as non-pCR. Independent sample t-tests and χ2 tests were used to compare clinical pathological and imaging parameters between pCR and non-pCR patients. Statistically significant variables were included in multivariate logistic regression to identify independent predictors of pCR. The diagnostic performance of individual and combined indicators for pCR was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curves and the area under the curve (AUC). DeLong′s test was used to compare AUCs. Results:There were 39 pCR and 61 non-pCR patients. Significant differences were observed between the pCR and non-pCR patients in molecular subtypes, ER, PR, HER2, and Ki-67 statuses ( P<0.05). Pre-treatment MTRasym values were significantly higher in the pCR patients compared to the non-pCR patients ( P=0.005), whereas ADC values showed no statistical difference ( P=0.372). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed HER2 positivity ( OR=5.87, 95% CI 1.99-17.30, P=0.001) and MTRasym values>2.61% (OR=4.39, 95% CI 1.37-14.08, P=0.013) was independent predictors of pCR after NAC. HER2 positivity combined with MTRasym value>2.61% predicted pCR after NAC in breast cancer with AUC of 0.819, which was superior to HER2 positivity and MTRasym value alone in predicting efficacy ( Z=3.91, P<0.001; Z=2.63, P=0.009). Conclusions:The MTRasym value of pre-treatment APTWI is valuable in predicting pCR after NAC in breast cancer. APTWI combined with HER2 expression status can further enhance the predictive efficacy.

Objective:To explore the effect of staged rehabilitation nursing in patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.Methods:From January 2021 to December 2022, convenience sampling was used to select 73 patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in the Department of Hand Surgery at Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University as participants. According to the random number table method, patients were divided into a control group ( n=36) and an observation group ( n=37). Control group received routine rehabilitation nursing, while observation group received staged rehabilitation nursing. The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Shoulder Rating Scale score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) Rating Scale score, Constant-Murley Shoulder Scale score, and complications during rehabilitation were compared between two groups of patients before and six months after intervention. Results:Six months after surgery, both groups showed an increase in UCLA scores and ASES scores compared to before the intervention ( P<0.05), and the scores of observation group were higher than those of control group, with statistical differences ( P<0.05). Six months after surgery, the Constant-Murley Shoulder Scale scores for daily life and shoulder range of motion in observation group were higher than those in control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). During the rehabilitation period, the incidence of complications in observation group was lower than that in control group with a statistical difference ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Staged rehabilitation nursing in patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair shows significant effects and can effectively promote patient recovery.

Objective:To explore the value of contrast enhancement T1 fluid-attenuated inversion recovery sequence (CE-T1FLAIR) based on modulated flip angle technique in refocused imaging with extended echo train (MATRIX) in detecting metastases.Methods:One hundred and seventy-six patients with pathologically diagnosed malignant tumors and brain metastases accepted enhanced 3.0T MRI scan in Department of Medical Imaging, He'nan Provincial Cancer Hospital from October 2023 to February 2024 were enrolled. Lianying's intelligent brain metastasis AI-assisted detection system and sequences of MATRIX CE-T1FLAIR, 3D GRE_fsp CE-T1FLAIR and FSE CE-T1FLAIR were used to detect the brain metastasis lesions, respectively. Length of the lesions was measured according to Lianying's intelligent brain metastasis AI-assisted detection system, and all lesions were divided into 3 categories: <3 mm, 3-10 mm, and >10 mm. Differences in detection rate in brain metastases of different lengths and locations among the 3 sequences were compared.Results:Detection rates of MATRIX CE-T1FLAIR, 3D GRE_fsp CE-T1FLAIR, and FSE CE-T1FLAIR in brain metastases were 99.67%, 90.52%, and 71.02%, which were decreased successively, with significant differences ( P<0.05). Detection rates of MATRIX CE-T1FLAIR, 3D GRE_fsp CE-T1FLAIR and FSE CE-T1FLAIR in brain metastases with length<3 mm (99.24%, 79.95% and 46.45%) or length of 3-10 mm (100%, 98.19% and 87.53%) were decreased successively, with significant differences ( P<0.05). Detection rates of MATRIX CE-T1FLAIR (100%, 80.56% and 64.24%), 3D GRE_fsp CE-T1FLAIR (100%, 97.25% and 76.11%), and FSE CE-T1FLAIR (100%, 91.18% and 70.59%) in metastases at the superficial area of the brain convexity, gray-white matter junction area, and cerebellum were decreased successively, with significant differences ( P<0.05). Detection rates of FSE CE-T1FLAIR in brain metastases in the basal ganglia and brainstem (69.33% and 50%) were significantly lower than those of MATRIX CE-T1FLAIR and 3D GRE_fsp CE-T1FLAIR (97.33% and 92.86%; 88% and 78.57%, P<0.05). Conclusion:MATRIX CE-T1FLAIR sequence is better than 3D GRE_fsp CE-T1FLAIR and FSE CE-T1FLAIR sequences in detecting brain metastases, especially for metastases with length<10 mm and metastases located at the superficial area of the brain convexity, gray-white matter junction area and cerebellum.

Objective:To explore the value of combined detection of urinary kidney injury markers in the diagnosis of early-stage diabetic kidney disease (DKD), and to provide evidence for early-stage DKD screening.Methods:It was a retrospective study. The clinical data of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medicine University from January 2022 to August 2023 were collected. According to urinary microalbumin/creatinine ratio (UACR), the patients were divided into three groups: isolated diabetes group (UACR < 30 mg/g), early-stage DKD group (30 mg/g ≤ UACR < 300 mg/g) and clinical DKD group (UACR ≥ 300 mg/g), and the differences of clinical data among three groups were compared. Glomerular injury markers urinary microalbumin, transferrin, immunoglobulin (Ig) and α2 macroglobulin, and renal tubule injury markers α1 microglobulin (α1-MG), β2 microglobulin (β2-MG), retinol-binding protein (RBP), N-acetyl-β- D-glucosidase (NAG), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipid carrier protein (NGAL) were measured. Spearman correlation method was used to analyze the correlation between urinary kidney injury markers and clinical indicators. Multivariate logistic regression analysis method was used to analyze the risk factors of DKD occurrence (UACR > 300 mg/g). Receiver-operating characteristic curve was used to analyze the value of individual and combined detection of urinary renal injury markers in the diagnosis of early-stage DKD (30 mg/g ≤ UACR < 300 mg/g). Results:A total of 116 T2DM patients were enrolled in this study, aged (61.99±12.56) years old (30 to 91 years old), with 79 males (68.1%). There were 44 (37.9%) isolated diabetes patients, 27 (23.3%) early-stage DKD patients, and 45 (38.8%) clinical DKD patients. Serum creatinine (Scr, H=34.183, P<0.001) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN, H=34.082, P<0.001) in clinical DKD group were higher than those in isolated diabetes group and early-stage DKD group. Spearman correlation analysis showed that glomerular injury markers urinary microalbumin, transferrin, Ig and α2 macroglobulin were positively correlated with Scr, BUN and UACR, and negatively correlated with estimated glomerular filtration rate and serum albumin (all P<0.05). Renal tubule injury markers urinary α1-MG, β2-MG, NAG, RBP, and NGAL were positively correlated with Scr, BUN and UACR, and negatively correlated with estimated glomerular filtration rate and serum albumin (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg ( OR=1.033, 95% CI 1.008-1.060, P=0.010), high urinary microalbumin ( OR=1.018, 95% CI 1.007-1.030, P=0.001), high urinary RBP ( OR=1.309, 95% CI 1.086-1.577, P=0.005), high urinary NGAL ( OR=1.004, 95% CI 1.000-1.008, P=0.037), low serum albumin ( OR=0.833, 95% CI 0.749-0.926, P=0.001) and low urinary Ig ( OR=0.994, 95% CI 0.990-0.999, P=0.018) were independent influencing factors of DKD occurrence. Receiver-operating characteristic curve revealed that the area under the curve ( AUC) was the largest for diagnosing early-stage DKD when urinary microalbumin was detected alone ( AUC=0.976, 95% CI 0.955-0.997, P<0.001), with sensitivity and specificity of 95.6% and 90.1%, respectively. The combined detection of urinary microalbumin + Ig + transferrin + α2 macroglobulin + α1-MG + β2-MG + NAG + RBP + NGAL had an AUC of 0.986 (95% CI 0.971-1.000, P<0.001), with sensitivity and specificity of 93.3% and 98.5%, respectively, which was better than each single index. Further optimized detection combination was urinary microalbumin combined with β2-MG and NGAL, which had the best diagnostic efficacy ( AUC=0.978, 95% CI 0.958-0.999, P<0.001), with sensitivity and specificity of 95.6% and 93.0%, respectively. Conclusions:Compared with the single detection of each index, the combined detection of urinary glomerular injury and renal tubule injury markers has higher value in diagnosing early-stage DKD. The combined detection of urinary microalbumin combined with β2-MG and NGAL has the highest value in diagnosing early-stage DKD.
