Objective:To understand the identification value of pointing gestures in children with autism spectrum disorder(ASD) and its relationship with functional development.Methods:From December 2020 to November 2021, 1 099 children from Children’s Health Care Center of Beijing Children’s Hospital were tested by pointing gestures test, including 942 ASD children and 157 typical developed children.And the data of children's neuropsychological development scale from 800 children aged 1.0-5.9 were collected.SPSS 20.0 was used for statistical analysis. Trend test was used to analyze the distribution of pointing gestures test sensitivity in autistic children, and ANOVA was used to analyze the relationship between pointing gestures test scores and functional development fields.Results:The sensitivity of pointing gestures was 83.5% in children aged 1.0-10.0 years, 76.3%-93.1% in children aged 1.0-4.9 years, and 93.1%-95.1% in children aged 1.0-2.9.With the increase of age, the sensitivity of pointing gestures in autistic children (linear-by-linear association =164.889, P<0.001) and the Yoden index had a decreasing trend. The positive predictive value (91.53%-100.00%) and negative predictive value (75.36%-91.84%) were found in the children aged 1.0-10.0 years.The sensitivity of pointing gestures test was 44.9% in children with mild autism aged 1.0-10.0 years and 46.5%-65.9% in children with mild autism aged from 1.0-3.9 years. The sensitivity of pointing gestures test was 81.5% in children with moderate autism aged from 1.0-10.0 years and 87.3%-97.8% in children with moderate autism aged 1.0-3.9 years. The sensitivity of the pointing gestures test was 97.2% in children with severe autism aged 1.0-10.0 years, and 100.0% in children with severe autism aged 1.0-3.9 years. The sensitivity of the pointing gestures in mild, moderate and severe autism children decreased with age (linear-by-linear association values were 16.725, 64.232, 66.732 respectively, all P<0.001). The children with severe autism mainly scored 2 points (80.3%, 419/522) on the pointing gestures test , and children with moderate autism mainly scored 1 point(64.2%, 170/265) on the pointing gestures test. There were significant differences in functional development among different pointing gestures test groups.Functional development score in the autism children with 0 score of pointing gestures test was significantly higher than those with 1 score and 2 scores of pointing gestures test (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Pointing gestures has good sensitivity in children with autism (especially 1.0-4.9 years of age), and may serve as an objectively observable screening method. The better children with autism score on the pointing gestures, the better their functional development.

Autism spectrum disorders(ASD)is an important disease in children′s neuropsychic development disorder.The incidence rate is increasing now, which brings heavy burden to family and society.Functional studies of ASD related different single gene mutation models have showed that these overlapping phenotypes shared the common mechanism of the homeostatic synaptic plasticity impairment.Retinoic acid receptor α(RARα)regulate synaptic plasticity of the nervous system in both directions, through glutamate receptor subunit 1(GluR1)translation and RARα/mTOR signaling pathway, and affect the integration of sensory information and situational adaptive learning, and then affect the learning and memory function and neural synaptic signal network through the growth of dendritic spines.These researches suggest that RARα may work as a potential drug target for ASD, playing an important role in stable regulation of homeostatic synaptic plasticity, which is helpful for molecular typing accurate diagnosis and treatment of ASD.

Objective:To assess the association of appendicular skeletal muscle mass(ASM) to fat mass(FM) ratio in early pregnancy with the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Methods:A total of 468 pregnant women who visited the Nutritional Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital or Shunyi Maternal and Child Care Service Center in 2018 and 2019 were recruited. Detailed information and clinical data were collected. The body components were measured using the bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) method during early pregnancy (< 14 weeks) and the ASM to FM ratio was calculated. The patients were divided into the GDM group and normal glucose tolerance (NGT) group according to the results of the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) performed during 24-28 weeks. Binary logistics regression was used to explore the correlation between the ASM/FM ratio and the risk of GDM. The receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve of subjects was used to evaluate the predictive value of ASM/FM ratio for GDM and the cut-off value was reported.Results:Compared to the NGT group, the ASM and FM in early pregnancy in the GDM group were significantly higher, while the ASM/FM ratio was significantly lower. A lower ASM/FM ratio in early pregnancy was one of the risk factors of developing GDM. The cut-off value of the ASM/FM ratio was 0.809. The area under the ROC curve for predicting GDM increased from 68.1% to 72.3% when ASM/FM ratio was incorporated, with a significant difference by Delong test ( P = 0.006). Conclusion:Inadequate muscle mass would increase the risk of GDM and the ASM/FM ratio could serve as a predictor of GDM.

Objective:To explore the value of cardiac MRI (CMRI) in evaluating left atrial function in patients with postoperative tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) and postoperative pulmonary stenosis (rPS).Methods:Totally 67 pediatric patients (49 with rTOF, 18 with rPS) with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) were recruited between January 2019 and October 2021 in Shanghai Children′s Medical Center, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Thirty-three healthy volunteers, matched in gender and age, were included as controls from July 2017 to August 2018. Left atrial EF, strain and strain rate of three phases (reservoir, conduit and pump), left atrial volume (maximum volume index, minimum volume index and pre-atrial contraction volume index) were measured with corresponding cardiac function analysis software. Then, the differences in these parameters were analyzed between the three groups by ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis test with post hoc comparison and Bonferroni correction.Results:Compared with controls, patients with rTOF had lower reservoir function parameters (EF, strain and strain rate), conduit EF, conduit strain, and left atrial maximum volume index ( P<0.05), but higher pump EF ( P<0.05). In patients with rPS, only the reservoir strain rate decreased compared with controls ( P<0.05), and the remaining data showed no significant difference ( P>0.05). The reservoir and conduit EF and strain in patients with rPS were higher than those in patients with rTOF ( P<0.05). Conclusions:In patients with rTOF and rPS, left atrial function has changed despite the preservation of left ventricular EF, which may be an early marker of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. In children with rTOF, left atrial reservoir and conduit functions decreased while the pump function increased. The reservoir and pump functions in rPS were better than those in rTOF. In addition, CMRI can detect left atrial dysfunction early before it enlarged.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between postoperative delirium and preoperative frailty in elderly patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery.Methods:Elderly patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery at our hospital from March 2019 to July 2022 were collected and their age, comorbidities, gender, smoking history, type of surgery, preoperative albumin, duration of surgery, duration of anesthesia, postoperative hypotension, educational level, nutritional status, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Physical Status classification, postoperative admission to ICU or not, intraoperative bleeding and preoperative frailty status were collected. The patients were divided into delirium group and non-delirium group according to whether postoperative delirium occurred. The risk factors for postoperative delirium were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression analysis, and the receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn to analyze the value of risk factors in predicting postoperative delirium.Results:There were 74 cases in delirium group and 321 cases in non-delirium group, and the incidence of postoperative delirium was 18.7%. There were statistically significant differences in terms of age ≥70 yr, education level of junior high school and below, poor nutritional status, ASA Physical Status classification Ⅲ, postoperative admission to ICU, proportion of frailty and intraoperative bleeding volume between delirium group and non-delirium group ( P<0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that age, educational level, nutritional status, ASA Physical Status classification, intraoperative bleeding and frailty were all independent risk factors for delirium ( P<0.05). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of preoperative frailty predicting postoperative delirium was 0.672 (95% confidence interval 0.605-0.740). Conclusions:Preoperative frailty is an independent risk factor for postoperative delirium in elderly patients undergoing noncardiac surgery, which can predict the occurrence of postoperative delirium to some extent.

Objective:To explore the clinical application value of routine indicators such as blood routine and liver and kidney function in auxiliary diagnosis and prognosis of COVID-19 patients.Methods:SNK-q and other methods were used to retrospectively analyzed the differences of blood routine test, liver and kidney function and other inflammatory indexes of 30 patients with covid-19, 29 patients with other viral pneumonia, 35 patients with influenza A/B and 25 healthy persons from January 28 to February 14, 2020 in Xiangya Hospital of Central South University.Results:The neutrophils count increased gradually in COVID-19 group, influenza A/B group and other types of viral pneumonia group, and the difference between COVID-19 group and other viral pneumonia groups was statistically significant( H=-19.064, P<0.05); The lymphocyte count decreased gradually in the control group, influenza A/B group, other viral pneumonia group and COVID-19 group. In addition, DB, UA and GLU were also different among groups. Subgroup analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in N( F=9.581, t=-0.152, P<0.05), N%( F=5.723, t=-0.600, P<0.05), NLR( F=4.773, t=-1.161, P<0.05), PCT( F=17.464, t=-1.477, P<0.05)and CRP( F=7.656, t=-1.973, P<0.05) between patients with lung involvement +-++ and patients with lung involvement +++-++++. There were statistically significant differences in NLR( F=63.931, t=-2.815, P<0.01), AST( F=15.704, t=-1.930, P<0.01), ALT( F=35.551, t=-2.199, P<0.01), LDH( F=7.715, t=-2.703, P<0.05) and GLU( F=6.306, t=-5.116, P<0.05) between the light+common subgroup and the heavy+critical subgroup of COVID-19 clinical classification. Correlation analysis showed that clinical stage and imaging credit period were significantly correlated with NLR ( r=0.406 , P=0.026; r=0.397 , P=0.030), ALT ( r=0.403 , P=0.049; r=0.418 , P=0.047), LDH ( r=0.543 , P<0.01; r=0.643 , P<0.01) and GLU( r=0.750 , P<0.01; r=0.471 , P=0.042). A total of 5 principal components were extracted from all the included indicators, and the comprehensive information extraction rate was 82.86%. Indicators of a large load included Ur, PCT and CRP in PC1; ALT, AST and GLU in PC2; N%, L%, L and NLR in PC3. It indicated that the indicators of acute infection, liver function and blood routine had certein warning effect on disease surveillance. The results of ROC curve analysis showed that the combined detection of N+TB+Urea was the best practice to distinguish COVID-19 and other viral pneumonia, while the combined detection of N+L+UA was the most effective solution to make a distinction between COVID-19 and influenza A/B patients. In the aspect of disease evaluation, NL+LDH+GLU+ALT combined detection represent the best diagnostic performance to distinguish the clinical stage of light+common type and heavy+critical type, achieving the AUC (ROC) to 0.904, with the sensitivity 75% and the specificity 100% at the cut-off value of 0.477. Conclusion:In addition to etiology and imaging examination, doctors can also improve the routine laboratory tests such as blood routine test, liver and kidney function to assist diagnosis and disease prediction of patients with respiratory tract infection.

Objective:To investigate the application of local rotation flap with subcutaneous pedicle for breast conservation in central breast cancer.Methods:Retrospective analysis of clinical data of 14 patients with stage Ⅰor Ⅱ central breast cancer was performed. The local rotation flap with subcutaneous pedicle was used for breast conservation in Jiangxi Provincial Breast Specialist Hospital (Nanchang Third Hospital) from January 2017 to December 2018. The postoperative complications were recorded. One year after operation, the aesthetic result, satisfactory and comfort index were evaluated. Two years after operation, local tumor recurrence and metastasis were followed.Results:All patients were women, aged 37-75 years old with the median age as 47. First-stage healing was achieved in 12 patients. Wound infection happened in one case and necrotic in one case. They were all healed after secondary suture. Fourteen patients were followed up for 1 year, the suprasternal notch-nipple length was (22.27±2.38) cm at the operative side, and (23.33±2.22) cm at the healthy side, showing no statistical significance ( t=-1.253, P=0.242). The nipple-midsternal line length was(10.12±0.91) cm at the operative side, and (10.68±1.09) cm at the healthy side, showing no statistical significance ( t=-1.937, P=0.094). The nipple-inframammary fold length was (6.94±0.95) cm at the operative side, and (7.05±1.30) cm at the healthy side, showing no statistical significance ( t=-0.478, P=0.645). The patient’s breast satisfaction was 60.2±11.4 points before operation and 61.7±12.7 points after operation, with no difference between them ( t=-0.330, P=0.744). The overall postoperative comfort index was 62.05±4.40 points, which indicates a moderate comfort state. The physiological comfort index was 6.52±2.05 points, the mental and psychological comfort index was 15.13±2.56 points, the social comfort index was 19.09±1.57 points, and the environmental comfort index was 21.29±2.11 points. There was no local recurrence and no systemic metastasis 2 years after operation. Conclusions:The breast conservation in central breast cancer with local rotation flap with subcutaneous pedicle is less invasive with few complication and satisfactory results in cosmetic appearance. The moderate comfort index and good prognosis can be prospected.
