Objective:To get the prevalence of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and in Children. Methods:The subjects were 2188 children who were 4~16 year-old in Wuhan. We had their parents filled the investigation forms. Diagnosis was made according to criterion of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in DSM-IV. Results:of behavior problems were got through Achenbach Behavior Questionnaires. Those who were diagnosed as ADHD were classified into three subtypes: predominantly inattentive type; predominantly hyperactive-impulsive type and com-bined type. All suspicious patient and their parents were invited to have the diagnostic talk. Results: (1) The rate of ADHD was 13.58%. ADHD-C, 2.63%; ADHD-I, 8.27%; ADHD-HI, 2.68%. The male, 18.57%; female,8.78%. The ratio of male: female was 2.24:1。(2) There was significantly difference of rate of ADHD between age groups. The rate of 4~5 years-old was 15.88%, that for 6~11 years-old was 15.85%; and for 12~16 yeas-old, 9.98%. The rate of ADHD decreased by aging, especially the group of ADHD-HI. But the rate of ADHD-I was still increased, especially the male group of 6~11 years-old, 12.19%. (3) There was significantly difference of sociality ability between ADHD children and the normal. (4) No matter which age and sex, the scales of behavior problem of ADHD children were higher than the normal children. And the number of factors of behavior problem of ADHD children increased by ag-ing.Conclusion: The rate of ADHD-I was the highest in the three subtypes defined by DSM-Ⅳ, especially among boys 6~11-years-old. The rate of ADHD is significantly associated with sex and age.

Objective:To investigate the effect of O-6-methylguananine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) gene promoter methylation status on the treatment and prognosis of elderly patients newly-diagnosed with glioblastoma (GBM).Methods:Clinical data of 65 newly-diagnosed GBM patients admitted to Tianjin Huanhu Hospital from January 2012 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients received intensity-modulated radiotherapy after surgery and 49 patients received temozolomide (TMZ) monotherapy. All patients were divided into the MGMT(+ ) group and MGMT(-) group according to the methylation status of MGMT promoter. Kaplan- Meier method and log-rank test were used for univariate survival analysis, and Cox regression model was used for multivariate prognostic analysis. Results:The median overall survival (OS) for all patients was 18.0 months. The median OS was 27.0 months and 15.3 months in the MGMT(+ ) group and MGMT(-) group, respectively. Univariate analysis revealed that tumor number, MGMT promoter methylation, postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy were significantly related to clinical prognosis ( P=0.029, P=0.001 and P<0.001). In multivariate analysis, tumor number and postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy were identified as significant prognostic factors for OS ( P=0.037, P=0.004). In the MGMT(+ ) group, the median OS was 27.0 months for patients receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy and 12.0 months for radiotherapy alone ( P=0.040). In the MGMT(-) group, the median OS was 17.0 months for concurrent chemoradiotherapy patients and 10.0 months for radiotherapy alone ( P=0.122). Conclusions:MGMT promoter methylation status is significantly associated with longer OS in elderly GBM patients. Conventional fractional radiotherapy combined with concurrent and sequential TMZ chemotherapy probably yields better survival benefits.

Althoughtheevidenceoftheevidence-basedmedicinehasshowedthatrecombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator can effectively open the occluded vessels, because of its short therapeutic time w indow and the risk of bleeding, the thrombolytic rate is general y low er currently. Clinical studies have show ed that telestroke can effectively shorten the treatment time of the patients, increase the thrombolytic rate, reduce the risk of bleeding, and improve the outcomes of patients. Although the application of telestroke is restricted in many w ays, such as technology, policy, and funding, w ith the grow ing maturity of the related technologies, telestroke w il play an increasingly important role in the treatment of stroke.
