Objective To understand the application effect of early screening scale and behavioral intervention effect in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Methods A total of 348 children with suspected ASD were selected and evaluated using the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) and Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC). The evaluation results were compared with those from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V). Children enrolled were given Early start Denver model (ESDM) intervention. The evaluation results of Gesell Developmental Scale and Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC) scores were compared before and after intervention. Results The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and Kappa value of M-CHAT for evaluating ASD in children aged 1-3 years were 89.53%, 90.70%, 89.92% and 0.78. The corresponding values of ABC were 78.49%, 81.40%, 79.46% and 0.56. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and Kappa value of M-CHAT for evaluating children aged >3-6 years were 87.30%, 77.78%, 84.44% and 0.64. The corresponding values of ABC were 85.71%, 77.78%, 83.33% and 0.62. The sensitivity and accuracy of M-CHAT were higher than ABC for evaluating ASD in children aged 1-3 years (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in sensitivity, specificity and accuracy between M-CHAT and ABC for evaluating ASD in children aged 3-6 years (P>0.05). After intervention, development quotients (DQ) of personal-social aspects, adaptability, language, gross motor, and fine motor of children with ASD were higher than those before intervention (P<0.05). ATEC scores for language, behavior, sensation, and social contact of children with ASD were lower than those before intervention (P<0.05). Conclusion M-CHAT and ABC both can be used for early screening of ASD in children, especially M-CHAT. Early behavioral intervention can effectively improve the condition and developmental level of children with ASD.

ObjectiveTo construct traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) diagnostic scale of turbid toxin syndrome in order to provide corresponding reference for the standardization of TCM syndromes and studies. MethodsWe systematically searched the Chinese Medical Dictionary (CMD), China Knowledge Network (CNKI), Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform (WF) and VIP database for TCM classics and modern literature on turbid toxin syndrome, and initially screened the four diagnosis information of turbid toxin syndrome, established a pool of information entries, and conducted a cross-sectional clinical survey. Discrete trend method, correlation coefficient method, Cronbach's coefficient method, and factor analysis method were applied to objectively screen the entries. The diagnostic scale of turbid toxin syndrome were constructed through three rounds of Delphi method expert survey to determine the scale entries, using hierarchical analysis to get the judgement matrix scores and relative weight of each entry, after passing consistency test and then isometric expansion of the relative weight of the entries to get the weight of each entry and assign the value. ResultsA total of 35 articles were included, 45 entries were obtained after the initial screening. After the clinical investigation, 12 entries were not suitable by the discrete trend method, 23 entries not suitable by correlation coefficient method, 13 entries by the internal consistency screening were removed with the Cronbach's alpha coefficient rising, and 10 entries not suitable by the factor analysis method. Twenty-two entries were retained after objective screening by the combined use of the four statistical methods. The positive coefficients of experts in the three rounds of Delphi method of expert consultation were 96.67%, the coefficients of expert authority were 0.834, 0.856, and 0.867, and the coefficients of co-ordination were 0.126, 0.326, and 0.312, respectively. After consulting with clinical experts, and three rounds of Delphi method survey and hierarchical analysis method weight assignment, the diagnostic scale entries of turbid toxin syndrome were finally established. Primary symptoms: dark red or purple and dusky tongue, yellowish greasy or dry coating (10 points); sticky and unpleasant stools (8 points); disharmony of tastes including halitosis, sticky and greasy taste in the mouth, dry mouth and bitter taste in the mouth (6 points); unfavourable or yellowish or red urination (5 points); and dark complexion (4 points). Secondary symptoms: heavy body (3 points); dizziness (3 points); profuse, sticky, foul-smelling secretions (2 points); wiry and slippery, or slippery, or slippery and rapid pulse (2 points); feeling of hardness in the abdomen (1 point). ConclusionUsing Delphi method combined with the hierarchical analysis method, combining qualitative and quantitative study, a diagnostic scale of turbid toxin syndrome was initially developed.

Objective:The classification model of prognosis of elderly cancer patients in rural areas of Shaanxi province was constructed based on machine learning algorithm, and its effectiveness was verified, providing reference for early prognosis recognition and intervention treatment.Methods:Using a multicenter, cross-sectional survey method and convenience sampling method, 597 elderly cancer patients in rural areas hospitalized in 9 different medical institutions (Shaanxi Cancer Hospital and its member units of specialty alliance) in Shaanxi Province from July to August 2022 were selected as the research objects, and a variable database of "basic information", "self-care ability", "symptoms", "comprehensive needs" and "quality of life" of elderly cancer patients in rural areas was established. Machine learning and statistical analysis were carried out to explore the important prognostic characteristics of elderly cancer patients in rural areas, and a prognostic classification model for elderly cancer patients in rural areas was constructed and verified.Results:The 597 valid questionnaires were ultimately collected.Among the 597 elderly cancer patients in rural areas, 207 were males and 390 were females, aged (69.56 ± 8.84) years. The results of cluster exploration showed that the prognosis of elderly cancer patients in rural areas was divided into three categories: good, medium and poor. The areas under the working characteristic curves of the subjects in good, medium and poor were 0.84, 0.79 and 0.69, respectively. The results of characteristic exploration showed that 10 indicators of "whether accompanied by metastasis", "distress", "sadness", "numbness", "eating", "walking", "fatigue", "forgetfulness", "fun of life" and "relationship with others" were important characteristic indicators of prognosis evaluation of elderly cancer patients in rural areas. There were statistically significant differences among the 10 important characteristic indicators in the three categories of prognosis of rural elderly cancer patients ( χ2=21.07, H values were 18.51-144.38, all P<0.01). There were statistically significant differences in the three categories of "comprehensive needs", "quality of life", "self-care ability" and "symptoms" ( H values were 519.40, 40.80, 103.69, all P<0.01). Conclusions:The construction and verification of a prognostic classification model for elderly cancer patients in rural areas based on machine learning algorithm can effectively explore the important characteristic indicators and prognostic classification of elderly cancer patients in rural areas, and provide basis and guidance for clinical medical staff to make individualized plans.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of surgical methods for correcting pollybeak deformity in Chinese rhinoplasty.Methods:A retrospective chart review was conducted for patients who underwent pollybeak correction between January 2021 and December 2022 at the Department of Plastic and Aesthetic (Burn) Surgery, the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University. Individualized correction was tailored based on the etiology and severity of the nasal deformity of each patient, involving techniques such as resection of the anterior part of the nasal septum, reconstruction of nasal tip support, reconstruction of the middle part of the nasal vault, and excision of skin in the upper region of the nasal tip. A modified classification system for pollybeak deformity, the supratip fullness rating scale (SFRS), was developed to evaluate supratip fullness (0-3 points, with higher scores indicating more apparent deformity). The patients aesthetic outcomes were assessed by surgeons using the visual analogue scale (VAS) (0-10 points, with higher scores indicating more apparent deformity), and patient self-assessed using the rhinoplasty outcome evaluation (ROE) questionnaire (0-100 points, with higher scores indicating higher satisfaction). The measurement data of normal distribution was expressed as Mean±SD and analyzed by paired t-test; the measurement data of non-normal distribution was expressed as M( Q1, Q3) and analyzed by Wilcoxon signed rank test. Results:In a cohort study of 53 rhinoplasty patients (7 male, 46 female; age range 19-45 years, mean 29 years), comprising 15 primary and 38 secondary surgeries, nasal tip deformities were evaluated. Deformities were classified as mild (5 cases), moderate (25 cases), and severe (23 cases). Over a follow-up period of 6-17 months (mean 9.5 months), significant aesthetic improvements in the nasal tip region were observed. The SFRS scores decreased from 2(2, 3) preoperatively to 0(0, 0) postoperatively ( Z = -6.58, P < 0.001), and VAS scores decreased from 7.47±1.73 to 1.79±1.67 ( t = -25.61, P < 0.001). High patient satisfaction was indicated by a mean ROE score of 82.45±11.55. No significant complications, such as nasal tip ptosis, skin necrosis, or scar hyperplasia, were reported. Conclusion:Selecting an appropriate surgical method based on the severity and cause of pollybeak deformity can achieve satisfactory outcomes. Post-operative patients exhibit significant aesthetic improvement in the upper nasal tip area, resulting in high patient satisfaction.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of modified superomedial pedicle technique using an inverted T-shaped incision for reduction mammaplasty and mastopexy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of patients who underwent modified superomedial pedicle technique for breast reduction surgery with inverted T-shaped incision between March 2021 and March 2023 at the Department of Plastic and Aesthetic (Burn) Surgery, Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University. Preoperatively, a handheld Doppler ultrasound blood flow detector was used to detect and mark the exit points of the 2nd to 4th perforating vessels of the internal thoracic artery, and a superomedial pedicle containing at least two perforators was designed based on the perforator locations, with a pedicle width generally about 6 cm. Intraoperatively, the pedicle was rotated superolaterally, moving the nipple-areola complex (NAC) upwards to construct a fuller upper pole of the breast and removing excess skin in the lower fold to form a inverted T-shaped incision. Postoperatively, the blood supply of the NAC, breast morphology, and incidence of complications were observed and followed up. Canfield Mirror 7.1.1 software was utilized to measure pre- and post-operative breast morphology data from lateral photographs at 6 months, including total breast area, maximum breast protrusion, upper pole protrusion, lower pole height, and nipple elevation height. The BREAST-Q questionnaire was used to survey patient satisfaction with breast appearance, psychosocial well-being, sexual well-being, and physical health before surgery and 6-12 months after surgery, with each dimension scoring 0-100 points, where higher scores indicate greater satisfaction and health. SPSS 28.0 software was used for data analysis, with normally distributed measurement data expressed as Mean±SD, and paired t-test was applied for comparisons of pre- and post-operative breast morphology data (the first 4 indicators) and BREAST-Q scores, with P<0.05 considered statistically significant. Results:A total of 56 female patients were included, with an age of (32.0±6.7) years and a body mass index of (29.1±5.7) kg/m 2. Preoperative Doppler ultrasound blood flow detection showed that none of the patients had missing or significantly variant perforators of the superomedial pedicle. The volume of breast tissue removed ranged from 890 to 1 800 ml, averaging 1 250 ml, with an average pedicle width of 5.4 cm (4.0-7.0 cm). The follow-up period was (13.3±2.5) months, during which all patients exhibited good blood supply to the NAC and favorable breast morphology, with universal high satisfaction with surgical outcomes. Postoperatively, one case developed incisional seroma, which resolved naturally within 3 months; two cases experienced minor incision dehiscence, which healed well after dressing changes; all other patients recovered well without any complications such as flap necrosis or hematoma. Comparison of breast morphology data showed significant reductions in postoperative left and right total breast area ( P<0.05 for both), and increases in maximum breast protrusion and lower pole height postoperatively ( P<0.05 for both), while the difference in upper pole protrusion was not statistically significant ( P>0.05 for both); postoperative left and right nipple elevation heights were (6.30±1.84) cm and (6.52±1.66) cm, respectively. Among the 44 patients who completed the BREAST-Q survey both before and after surgery, scores showed significant improvements in postoperative breast satisfaction [(50.30±10.30) points vs. (83.20±6.02) points] ( t=5.17, P=0.008) and psychosocial well-being [(56.20±17.20) points vs. (89.70±2.70) points] ( t=5.09, P=0.010), while sexual well-being and physical health scores did not differ significantly from preoperative scores ( P>0.05 for both). Conclusion:Preoperative identification of perforator locations using a handheld Doppler blood vessel detector, followed by the design of a modified superomedial pedicle technique for reduction mammaplasty with inverted T-shaped incision, can not only ensure NAC blood supply, avoiding ischemic necrosis due to vascular anomalies, but also maximally reduce pedicle width and increase pedicle rotation flexibility, achieving desirable breast shaping effects.
