Objective To investigate the diagnosis value of spleen stiffness measurement by transient elastography (FibroScan, FS) for esophageal-gastric varices (EV) in patients with HBV-related liver cirrhosis receiving anti-viral treatment. Method Total of 41 patients from Jan 2014 to Dec 2014 diagnosed with HBV-related liver cirrhosis receiving anti-viral treatment were enrolled. All patients were evaluated for spleen and liver stiffness measurement by FS and checked by gastroscopy for diagnosis of EV. Using gastroscopy as the gold standard, the area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) were used to evaluate the value of the spleen stiffness and liver stiffness in diagnosis of EV and its degree. Results The spleen and liver FS values in patients were (40.64 ± 25.45) kPa and (20.76 ± 13.21) kPa respectively, and they showed a positive correlation (r = 0.402, P < 0.001). The spleen FS values in patients without EV were significantly lower than those in patients with mild EV and moderate-severe EV (all P < 0.05). Furthermore, they showed significantly lower in patients with mild EV than those in patients with moderate-severe EV too (P < 0.05). The AUROC of spleen FS in patients with EV was 0.863, with sensitivity of 79.4% and specificity of 83.2%. Moreover, the AUROC of spleen FS in patients with moderate-severe EV was 0.924, with sensitivity of 87.9% and specificity of 91.3%. Both of them were much higher than those of liver FS. Conclusion Spleen FS may act as a non-invasive marker to predict EV and its degree in patients with HBV-related liver cirrhosis receiving anti-viral treatment.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(2):191-194
Objective:
To explore the social functioning characteristics of children with co ocurrence of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) for intervention reference.
Methods:
The Chinese Version of Swanson Nolan and Pelham, Version IV Scale-Parent Form(SNAP-IV), the Chinese Version of Weiss Functional Impairment Scale-Parent(WFIRS-P), and the Questionnaire-Children with Difficulties (QCD) were applied to 192 children with ADHD, 243 children with co occurrence of ADHD and ODD, who firstly visited the Department of Children Psychological Health of Zhuhai Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital, and 118 healthy control children from a school in Zhuhai.
Results:
The scores of attention deficit factor in SNAP-Ⅳ scale of children in three groups were[1.9(1.7, 2.1), 1.8(1.6, 1.9), 1.0(0.6, 1.2)], the scores of hyperactive impulsivity were[1.8(1.4, 2.1), 1.6(1.1, 1.8), 0.7(0.2, 1.0)] the scores of oppositional defiant were[1.6(1.5, 1.9), 1.0(0.8,1.1), 0.8(0.5, 1.0)], the differences were statistically significant( H=268.44, 237.97, 418.66, P <0.01). The dimensions and total scores of the three groups of children s WFIRS-P scale were family[0.8(0.6, 1.1), 0.6(0.3, 0.8), 0.3(0.1, 0.6)]; learning and school[0.8(0.5, 1.1), 0.8(0.5, 1.0), 0.3(0.1, 0.5)]; life skills[1.0(0.7, 1.2), 0.8(0.6, 1.0), 0.6(0.4, 0.8)]; self management [1.0(0.3, 1.0), 0.7(0.3, 1.0), 0.3(0.0, 0.7)]; social activities [0.7(0.4, 1.0), 0.6(0.3, 0.9), 0.3(0.0, 0.4 )]; adventure activities[0.3(0.2, 0.5), 0.2(0.1, 0.4), 0.1(0.0, 0.2)]; the total score[0.8(0.6, 1.0), 0.6(0.5, 0.8), 0.4( 0.2 , 0.6)], the difference between the groups was statistically significant( H=108.82, 122.45, 60.17, 40.58, 96.17, 76.57, 138.30, P <0.01). The difference between the QCD scale scores of children in the three groups was statistically significant[30.0( 24.0 , 37.0), 32.0(27.0, 40.0), 47.0(37.0, 52.3), H=124.65, P <0.01). Multiple regression analysis showed that attention deficit, and oppositional defiant symptoms were associated with both the total WFIRS-P score and the QCD score of children( R 2= 0.40 , 0.25, P <0.05).
Conclusion
Children with co occurrence of ADHD and ODD have more severe deficits in all dimensions of social functioning than children with ADHD, which might be associated with attention deficit and oppositional defiant symptoms.
