The prognosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD)is poor,and approximately two third patients still have obvious symptoms when they grow up into adults,thus interfering with their social functions including work,study,family and interpersonal relation etc,and even causing the mental disorders and/or antisocial personality disorder.The predictive factors of adult outcome of ADHD include genetic,environmental and clinical factors.This review deals with the adult outcome and its predictive factors,and explores the severes harmfulness against individual,family and society brought by ADHD and its underlying mechanisms so as to facilitate the clinical intervention and research.

Objective:To investigate the association between selenoprotein P (Sepp1) and Brucella infection at gene and protein levels. Methods:In this case-control study, 32 patients with chronic brucellosis (referred to as brucellosis) in Jiuyuan District and Bayan Obo Mining District of Baotou City from June to September 2019 were selected as brucellosis group, and 30 healthy people with the same epidemiological environment as the brucellosis group were selected as control group. The two groups were Han nationality. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of Sepp1 gene(rs7579) in 32 brucellosis patients and 30 healthy controls were tested by amplification refractory mutation system-PCR (ARMS-PCR). And the Sepp1 protein content was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results:Thirty-two cases of brucellosis group, including 6 females and 26 males, aged (50.312 ± 5.035) years; 30 cases of control group, including 4 females and 26 males, aged (49.994 ± 5.098) years. There were no significant differences in sex ratio and age between the two groups (χ 2=0.336, t = 1.744, P > 0.05). There were no significant differences in the frequency distribution of G, A allele and GG, GA, and AA genotypes of rs7579 locus of Sepp1 gene between brucellosis group and control group (χ 2=0.263, 0.942, P > 0.05). In stratified analysis, there was a statistically significant difference in the frequency distribution of genotypes between female brucellosis group and control group (GG: 0/6, GA: 2/6, AA: 4/6; GG: 4/4, GA: 0/4, AA: 0/4, P < 0.05). And the level of Sepp1 protein in brucellosis group was significantly lower than that in control group (13.71±0.32, 19.26±0.69, t = 20.316, P < 0.05), low level of Sepp1 was a risk factor for brucellosis ( OR = 1.512, 95% CI: 1.290 - 1.687). Conclusions:The SNP of Sepp1 gene (rs7579) plays a role in Brucella infection, G allele may be the protective factor for women. The low level of Sepp1 protein is also associated with brucellosis.

Objective To investigate the expressions of estrogen receptor (ER) subtypes and c-met proto-oncogene in human endometrial carcinomas and to assess the clinical significance of ER and c-met in this carcinoma. Methods Reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) was used to detect the expressions of ERα, ERβ and c-met proto-oncogene mRNA in 30 samples of endometrial carcinoma and 11 samples of normal endometrium. Results The expression of ERα in endometrial carcinoma (0.70±0.40) was significantly reduced in comparison to that in normal endometrium (1.14±0.56, P<0.05). A similar finding was made for the expression of ERβ in carcinoma (0.24±0.18) versus normal tissues (0.48±0.20, P<0.05). In contrast, c-met mRNA expression was increased in endometrial carcinoma (1.45±0.72) compared to that in normal endometrium (0.42±0.31, P<0.01). A decrease tendency of the expression of ERα was also found from Stage Ⅰ (0.82±0.41) to a more severe Stag Ⅱ-Ⅲ of endometrial carcinoma (0.42±0.17, P<0.05). The analysis of ERα and ERβ mRNA revealed a decrease tendency from shallow to deep invasion of the uterine muscles (P<0.05). We found that the expressions of ERα and ERβ were negatively correlated with c-met proto-oncogene with a coefficient correlation of -0.63 (P<0.01) and -0.32 (P<0.05), respectively. Conclusion ERα and ERβ are both involved in mutagenic action of carcinogen. C-met proto-oncogene plays an important role in the carcinogenesis and development of endometrial carcinoma. C-met and ER expressions show a negative correlation in the development of endometrial carcinoma.

Objective The exploratory study aimed to characterize the clinical features and the patterns of comorbidity and psychosocial functioning of adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methods The study initially recruited 88 children who diagnosed with ADHD at age 6～16 years. They were reevaluated and administered structured psychiatric interviews for DSM-IV when they were at least 18 years old. A total of 59 adults with ADHD and 29 controls with GAF>70 were included in the study. Results Fifty-one(86.4%)of the adult ADHD were diagnosed as predominantly inattentive subtype of ADHD. The most common adult ADHD symptoms included "often has difficulty organizing tasks and activities (98.3%); often avoiding doing work projects where effort at thinking a lot is required (96.6%); often has trouble paying close attention to details (94.9%); often has problems following through on instructions and finishing job tasks (96.6%); often has difficulty sustaining attention (88.1%); often is distracted easily by extraneous stimuli (72.9%)". The majority (66.1%) of the adult ADHD had one or more psychiatric axis-I/axis-II comorbidity. Among them, 39.0% had psychiatric axis-I comorbidity and 49.2% had personality axis-II comorbidity. The average GAF score was significant lower in adult ADHD than in controls ( t =12.96, P <0.001). The majority (74.6%) of the adult ADHD had mild or moderate impairment or distress of overall functioning. Conclusions The main feature of adult ADHD is attention deficit. Patients with adult ADHD usually have comorbid conditions such as other psychiatric disorders and personality disorders and their psychosocial functioning is relatively poor.

Objective To investigate the effect of intrathecal administration of a mixture of butorphanol and ketamine on cAMP-PKA-CREB signal transductian pathway in the spinal dorsal ham of the rats with inflammatory pain. Methods Twenty-four male SD rats, weighing 240-280 g,in which intrathecal catheters were successfully placed, were divided into 4 groups randomly (n = 6 each): inflammatory pain group (group IP), butorphanol group (group B), ketamine group (group K), and butorphanol + ketamine group (group BK). The inflammatory pain was induced by injection of 5% formalin 50 μl into the plantar surface of left hind paw. Normal saline 10 μl, butorphannl 12.5 μg, ketamine 50 μg, and a mixture of butorphanol 12.5 μg and ketamine 50 μg was injected intrathecally 30 min before subcutaneous injection of formalin in group IP, B, K and BK respectively.Pain intensity score (PIS) was used to assess pain behavior every 5 min within an hour after subcutaneous injection of formalin. The animals were killed at 2 h after subcutaneous injection of formalin, and the L5 segment of the spinal cord was removed for determination of protein kinase A (PKA) and phosphorylated cAMP response element binding protein (p-CREB) expression using immunohistochemistry. Results Fonnahn administration induced pain behaviour expressed as two phases. PIS scores, PKA and p-CBEB expression, and staining scores were significantly lower during the fast and second phases in group BK than in group IP (P < 0.05 or 0.01), while no significant differences were found in the indices mentioned above between group B and IP and between group K and IP (P>0.05). Conclusion lntrathecal injection of a mixture of butorphanol and ketamine can reduce inflammatory pain in rats, and the mechanism may be related to the cAMP-PKA-CREB signal transduction pathway.
