The third report of the series of a comprehensive study on behavioralpronblems children,followed the population and clinical studies reproted in the previous twopapers,deepens particularly into physiological and biochemical arears through EEG andurine MHPG assessments.Based on the data of EEG routine and computer analyses andfluorometric estimation of urine MHPG?SO_4 with a modified method,together with theprevious findings of neurophysiological examination,it was found that behavioral problemchildren were with significantly delayed development of central nervious system.Both the ab-normal EEG and urine MHPG associate closely with harmful factors seen in the period ofmother pregnancy and genetic factors too,supporting the hypothesis of biological basis forthe development of child behavioral problem,at least in partial identified children.However,it was also revealed in a multi-step regression analysis that these abnormalities in EEG andurine MHPG assesments showed a close relations with certain psychosocial varibles,such asbad temparament,hyperactivity,unstability of emotion and negative family issues.

Objective:To study the differences of brain functions between children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) predominantly inattentive (ADHD-I) and combined(ADHD-C) subtypes in resting state using functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI).Methods:A newly reported regional homogeneity(ReHo) approach was used to analyze blood oxygen level-dependent fMRI(BOLD-fMRI) data in resting state among 6 ADHD-C,9 ADHD-I and 15 normal control boys.Results:The brain regions showing differences among the three groups included bilateral frontal lobe,right cuneus and right inferior temporal gyrus.Compared with the normal controls,ADHD-C showed decreased ReHo in left frontal lobe and right inferior temporal gyrus,ADHD-I showed decreased ReHo in bilateral frontal and temporal lobe and right cerebellum and increased ReHo in bilateral occipital lobe and right inferior parietal gyrus.There were no brain regions showing different ReHo between ADHD-C and ADHD-I.Conclusion:Although both ADHD-C and ADHDI showed abnormal neural activity in resting state compared with the normal controls,there were no differences for brain functions in resting state between ADHD-C and ADHD-I.

Objective To purify and quantify the autoantibodies against various epitopes within BP180-NC16A domain from the sera of patients with bullous pemphigoid (BP). Methods Three epitopes within BP180-NC16A domain, NC16A-1, NC16A-2 and NC16A-3, were prepared. Blood samples were obtained from 10 patients who were diagnosed as active BP by clinical, pathological and immunofluorescence examination. Autoantibodies against these epitopes were purified with affinity chromatography column from the sera of these patients with active BP, and quantified separately. The relative binding affinity of autoantibodies to NC 16A-1, NC 16A-2 and NC 16A-3 was measured using thiocyanate elution method. Results The autoantibodies against NC16A-1, NC16A-2 and NC16A-3 were successfully purified from the sera of patients. On average, the amount was 49.0±20.7 μg, 117.7±22.4 μg and 39.5±18.9 μg respectively for autoantibodies to NCI6A-1, NC16A-2 and NC16A-3 purified from a portion of serum containing about 20 mg IgG. Both the amount and binding affinity of anti-NC16A-2 autoantibody were significantly higher than those of anti-NC16A-1 and anti-NC16A-3 autoantibodies. Conclusion BP180 NC16A-2 (aa507-aa520) may be the major epitope recognized by pathogenic autoantibodies in patients with BP.

Objective:To examine postural control between normal and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD)boys,and compare the development characters.Methods:In the study,146 ADHD boys and 84 normal boys participated,ages being between 7 and 12 years.Balance Master was used to assess posture control.Posture stabilities were tested under 4 different conditions(firm surface with eyes open,firm surface with eyes closed,foam pad with eyes open,foam pad with eyes closed).We tested three times for one condition,20 s per time.The mean sway velocity was recorded.Results:(1)Normal boys:In firm surface with eyes open,analyses of variance between normal boys revealed no significant differences between different age groups,and the 11-and 12-year-old group did not achieve scores comparable to the adult(t=6.145,P

Objective:To study the executive function(EF)characteristics in boys with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD)comorbid learning disabilities(LD).Methods:A total of 22 pure ADHD boys,22 ADHD + LD boys and 22 normal controls(by criteria of DSM-Ⅳ)were collected as our samples.The groups were matched by ages(less than 6 months)and ADHD subtypes.The research instruments included the Stroop color-word task,Rey complex figure test,digit span test,trail making test,tower of Hanoi and verbal fluency test.Results:The differences of VIQ weren't significant among the three groups;pure ADHD and ADHD+LD groups had lower PIQ than the control group;ADHD+LD boys had lower IQ than the controls.The performance in the EF tests:(1)Both pure ADHD and ADHD+LD groups performed worse in the aspects of time of number-letter part and shifting time,the repeat response of verbal fluency,and the differences were significant.But the differences between ADHD and ADHD+LD weren't significant.(2)ADHD+LD group also showed deficits in the aspects of time and errors of Stroops 2 and 4,time of Stroop 4,word interference time,the immediate memory and delayed recalling detail score of Rey complex figure test,time of number trail making,error steps(rule violation)of Tow of Hanoi,and the differences were significant.(3)Both ADHD+LD and pure ADHD groups made more errors in the naming color of the color-word card(Stroop part 4),and ADHD+LD boys performed worse than pure ADHD boys.Conclusion:The findings support the hypothesis that ADHD is related to EF deficit,whether or not comorbid LD.ADHD+LD showed significant difference in the aspects of inhibition,working memory,set shifting and fluency as compared with normal group,ADHD+LD boys perform more poorly than the pure ADHD boys.It's plausible that both ADHD and LD are associated with deficits of executive function.

A study of the lymphatic drainage of the ovary in 90 infant cadavers was carried out by injecting into the lymphatics. The specimens were divided into threegroups: in 30 cases the Prussian Blue was injected into the substance of the ovary; in the other 30 cases the infundibulopelvic ligaments were ligated before injection; in the remainder the infundibulopelvic and utero-ovarian ligaments were ligated before injection.The first group: 4-10 lymphatics emerging from the hilus of the ovary ascend along the ovarian blood vessels and terminate in the lumbar nodes. The lymphatics. from the right ovary mostly open into the interaorticocaval nodes and some of them end in the laterocaval nodes, the precaval nodes and the subaortic nodes. The lymphatics from the left ovary mostly end in the lateroaortic nodes and some of them empty into the preaortic nodes.The second group: in 26 sides of the specimens (43%); 1-2 lymphatics emerging from the ovary reach the pelvic wall through the broad ligament and terminate in the interiliac nodes, the internal iliac nodes or the external iliac nodes.The third group: in 19 sides of the specimens (32%), the lymphatics of the ovary also open into the interiliac nodes, the external iliac nodes or the internal iliac nodes.The results demonstrate that the lymph of the ovary drains into the lumbar nodes under normal conditions, and when the primary pathway is ligated the lymph of the ovary may drain into the pelvic nodes.

Objective: To study the effect of EEG biofeedback in the treatment of children with ADHD and comorbid tic disorder. Methods:14 children with ADHD and comorbid tic (criteria of DSM-IV) aged 7 to 14 received EEG biofeedback treatment (average 34 sessions). The outcome was evaluated with Conners Parent Symptom Questionnaire(PSQ),Rutter Questionnaire,Achenbach CBCL,and C-WISC-R,WMS,CPT before and after treatment. YGTSS was used to evaluate the severity of tic disorder. Results: Hyperactivity index in PSQ, the total score of Rutter, and hyperactivity factor in CBCL were greatly reduced after treatment (P

This paper is a literature review of impact of comorbidity on the executive function(EF) of patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD).Over 80% of children and adolescents and 65%-89% of adults with ADHD suffer from one or more additional psychiatric disorders.EF deficits in ADHD of all ages can be demonstrated to be independent of psychiatric comorbidity.The presence of comorbid learning disorder(LD) and mood disorder(MD) appears to increase the EF deficits in ADHD which seems to be decreased by the the presence of comorbid anxiety disorder and oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder(ODD/CD).However,the comorbidity of LD,MD,ODD/CD and Tourette syndrome may have no impact on the EF deficits in ADHD.

Objective:To explore effectiveness of Russell Barkley's parent training in children with comorbid attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) and oppositional defiant disorder(ODD),and to evaluate its applicability in mainland China.Methods:Parents of 30 DSM-Ⅳ ADHD+ODD children were given 10 weekly trainings.Results:Total numbers of symptoms,symptoms of ADHD,symptoms of inattention,hyperactivity/impulsivity and ODD declined significantly(P

Objective:To explore the therapeutic effect,security and influencing factors of methylphenidate titration program,try to find the potential predicting index of therapeutic effect.Methods:This study was openly designed.The patients who were fit for DSM-Ⅳ diagnosis criteria of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) underwent systematic methylphenidate titration treatment until they attained the most optimal dose with best therapeutic effect and minimal side effects.The primary evaluative index of therapeutic effect was ADHD rating scale filled by teachers(ADHD-RS-Ⅳ),and secondary index included abbreviated Conners questionnaire filled by teachers,ADHD rating scale and Conners questionnaire filled by parents.The matching sample t analyses were used,then the differences of rating scale between pre and post treatment were compared.The potential influencing factors information of therapeutic effects including symptom severity degree when visiting,IQ,sensory integration capability and achievement of school etc.were collected.Finally,the correlation analysis was used for continuous variables andvariance analysis for dichotomization variables to analyze and check the factors' influence of declining scores of behavior scale.Results:The final prescribed daily dose for patients who completed dose titration was(17.3?7.7) mg on average,computed by kilo bodyweight was(0.45?0.11) mg/(kg?d).All the scale scores between pre and post treatment were significantly different(the pre-treatment score of ADHD rating scale completed by teachers was 30.25?9.16,and post-treatment score were 19.87?10.03,P
