Objective To analyze the effect of neurofeedback training based on early start Denver model(ESDM)on children with autism spectrum disorder(ASD). Methods From August,2020 to May,2024,a total of 60 children with ASD from Hangzhou Children's Hospital were randomly divided into control group(n=30)and observation group(n=30).The control group received ESDM intervention,while the observation group received neurofeedback training in addition,for six months.They were assessed with Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist(ATEC)and Psycho-Educational Profile-3rd Edition(PEP-3). Results After treatment,the score of ATEC was lower in the observation group than in the control group(t=3.545,P<0.05),the scores of cognition(t=2.236,P=0.029),emotional expression(t=2.293,P=0.025)and problem be-havior(Z=2.099,P=0.036)were higher in the observation group than in the control group.The score differenc-es of ATEC(Z=3.620,P<0.001),and cognition(Z=2.920,P<0.05)and problem behaviors(Z=4.209,P<0.05)of PEP-3 before and after intervention were higher in the observation group than in the control group. Conclusion Combination of neurofeedback training could improve the effect of ESDM on ASD.

In recent years, with the high incidence of lung cancer and mortality, the disease-relevant mental health problems such as depression began to attract attention. A growing number of studies have also begun to hypothesize and confirm the relationship between depression and survival or mortality in patients with lung cancer, and have made some progress in basic research, prospective cohort research and intervention research. In basic research, cancer can cause depression due to mediating the production of inflammatory factors, and the genotype of tumor epidermis growth factor receptor (EGFR) can explain the high mortality and risk of depression in patients with lung cancer from a certain point of view. Different studies in prospective cohort studies argue that depression is an important predictor of survival in patients with lung cancer and need to be further studied. In the aspect of intervention research, although some studies have confirmed the potential of antidepressants in anti-tumor oxidative therapy, there is no enough evidence in psychological intervention and drug intervention to prove their effectiveness in improving the survival outcome of lung cancer. In the future, it is necessary to further explore the possible mechanisms for antidepressants and psychological intervention to improve the survival time of the patients.
