Abstract
The possible mechanisms of developmental dyslexia mainly include the hypothesis of language framework and the hypothesis of non-verbal framework. The language framework assumes that people with developmental dyslexia may exhibit defects in phonetic awareness, rapid naming, phonetic memory, and orthographic processing. Studies of developmental dyslexia in Chinese have found that deficiencies in orthography may be an important cause of dyslexia, but there are diverse views and opinions regarding orthography processing. This article sorts out the research progress in behavioral and neuroimaging aspects of orthography studies, and provides references for further development of processing test materials and methods in the research of processing mechanism of developmental dyslexia orthography.

Tumor-induced osteomalacia(TIO)is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome in which tumor-induced osteochondrosis is a metabolic bone disease caused by increased renal excretion of phosphorus due to excessive secretion of fibroblast growth factor 23(FGF23)by tumor tissue.We report here a rare case of TIO in which the tumor was found in the hyoid body and the patient had tertiary hyperparathyroidism.The patient's symptoms did not improve after removal of the tumor from the hyoid body,and the patient's hypophosphatemia was gradually improved after subsequent removal of the left parathyroid gland.TIO derived from the tongue tumor is very rare,and also subsequent tertiary hyperparathyroidism is even rarer.This report helps to improve the understanding of TIO and provides reference in the diagnosis and treatment of TIO.

The conventional analytical methods cannot effectively adjust for time-varying confounding that occur in a longitudinal study and thus cannot correctly estimate the causal effects. This study explains the necessity of precisely controlling time-varying confounding and outlines G methods, including parametric g-formula, inverse probability of weighting, and G-estimation. We also compare the methods above to provide a reference for correctly estimating causal effects in the longitudinal study.
