As a hot spot in clinical research today, immune checkpoint inhibitor has been recommended by guidelines in the first- and second-line treatments of advanced cervical cancer as immune monotherapy or combination therapy. It has also achieved good efficacy in clinical practice. In locally advanced cervical cancer, immune checkpoint inhibitors have been included in the guidelines for adjuvant therapy, and good tumor regression effects have been achieved in clinical practice. Based on the results of existing trials, immune checkpoint inhibitors have also shown good clinical potential as neoadjuvant therapy. Furthermore, the issue of immunotherapy rechallenge has increasingly captured clinicians’ attention, offering a potential new therapeutic strategy for cervical cancer patients with prior immunotherapy exposure. In this article, the clinical application and research progress of immune checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of cervical cancer in recent years are summarized to provide valuable ideas and directions for clinical treatment.

Objective:
To explore the relationship between parenting style and emotional behavior problems in children with development dyslexia (DD), so as to provide reference for family support and intervention measures.
Methods:
From June to September 2023, 201 children in DD group and typically developing matched by age and sex were selected from the students in grades 3-6 of 4 primary schools in a district of Xinjiang by random cluster sampling method. The Childrens Version of the Parenting Style Scale and the Strength and Difficulty Scale were administered, and the occurrence of childrens emotional behavior problems and parentingstyles in the two groups were compared by Chisquare test and Wicoxon rank sum test. The correlation between parents parenting styles and childrens emotional behavior problems was analyzed by generalized linear regression.
Results:
The detection rates of emotional behavior problems were 45.77% in DD group and 15.42% in normal control children group. The differences in parenting styles between fathers and mothers of the DD group and the normal control group were statistically significant in terms of emotional warmth, parenting anxiety, and overprotection (Z=4.02, 29.03; 4.94, 26.32; 23.47, 5.30, P<0.05). Generalized linear regression analysis showed that father affective warmth was positively correlated with emotional symptoms, hyperactivity, peer interaction problems and prosocial behaviors (β=0.08, 0.05, 0.05, 0.09, P<0.05). The emotional warmth of mothers in DD group was negatively correlated with emotional symptoms, conduct problems, hyperactivity and peer interaction problems (β=-0.18, -0.08, -0.07, -0.08, P<0.05).
Conclusions
Parenting style is an important factor affecting the emotional behavior problems of DD children. Improving parenting style can reduce the occurrence of emotional behavior problems of DD children.

Objective:
To explore the characteristics of executive function of developmental dyslexic children and the relationship with social adaptability, in order to provide a scientific basis for promoting healthy development of developmental dyslexic children.
Methods:
From June to September 2023, 85 students in the developmental dyslexia group, 85 students in the biological agematched group and 85 students in the reading levelmatched group were selected from the third to sixth grades of two elementary school in a region of Xinjiang by cluster random sampling method. Their executive function was assessed by the Stroop procedure, the 2-back procedure and the numerical conversion procedure, respectively, and their social adaptive ability was assessed by the Social Adaptation Scale for Children and Adolescents. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the differences in executive function and social adjustment among the three groups, and Pearsons correlation was used to analyze the relationship between executive function and social adjustment in developmental dyslexic children.
Results:
Children in the developmental dyslexia group had lower correctness on the Stroop colorword task (0.72±0.21), the 2-back task (0.32±0.13), the digitswitching task (0.54±0.16) and the total score of social adjustment (165.39±31.36) than children in the biological agematched (0.80±0.19,0.38±0.11,0.61±0.15,181.71±31.85) and reading levelmatched group (0.79±0.17,0.35±0.07,0.58±0.15,175.71±27.48) (F=4.54,5.05,4.97,6.31,P<0.01). The inhibition (Stroop colorword task correct rate) and conversion subcomponent (digitswitching task correct rate) of the executive function of children in the developmental dyslexia group were both positively correlated with their social adaptive ability (r=0.34,0.43), and the refreshing subcomponent of the executive function (2-back task correct rate) was negatively correlated with their social adaptive ability (r=-0.27) (P<0.05).
Conclusions
Children with developmental dyslexia have executive function deficits and social maladjustment, and their executive function is related to social adjustment. Measures should be taken to improve the executive function of developmental dyslexic children and to improve their social adaptation.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a kind of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) with covalent closed-loop structure. They have attracted more and more attention because of their high stability, evolutionary conservatism, and tissue expression specificity. It has shown that circRNAs are involved in the development of a variety of diseases including malignant tumors recently. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a malignant tumor that occurs in the nasopharynx and has a unique ethnic and geographical distribution in South China and Southeast Asia. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is closely related to the development of NPC. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the mainstays of treatment for NPC. But tumor recurrence or distant metastasis is the leading cause of death in patients with NPC. Several studies have shown that circRNAs, as gene expression regulators, play an important role in NPC and affect the progression of NPC. This review mainly summarized the research status of abnormally expressed circRNAs in NPC and EBV-encoded circRNAs. We also discussed the possibility of circRNAs as a therapeutic target, diagnostic and prognostic marker for NPC.

Objective:To analyze the prenatal diagnosis results and pregnancy outcomes of fetal growth re-striction(FGR)with varying severity and provide guidance for clinical counseling and management of FGR.Meth-ods:A total of 141 pregnant women with FGR treated at Sichuan Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2020 to June 2021 were selected for the retrospective study.They were divided into the mild FGR group(3th≤EFW<10th,84 cases)and the severe FGR group(EFW<3th,57 cases)based on different estimated fetal weight(EFW).All pregnant women underwent amniocentesis for prenatal diagnosis.The chromosome results and preg-nancy outcomes of the two groups were statistically analyzed.Results:19 cases(13.5%)of 141 fetuses with FGR were found with chromosome abnormalities.The rate of chromosomal abnormalities was 19.3%(11/57)in the severe FGR group,which was higher than the 9.5%(8/84)in the mild FGR group,but the difference was not statistically significant(P=0.095).110 cases underwent both karyotype analysis and chromosome microarray a-nalysis(CMA).The detection rate of chromosomal abnormalities in CMA was 13.6%,which was significantly higher than 4.5%in karyotype analysis(P=0.006).Among chromosomal abnormalities,chromosomal aneu-ploidy accounted for 21.05%(4/19),including 1 case of trisomy 18 and 2 cases of 47,XXY.Two cases with dele-tion in the 4p16.3 regions were found in the severe FGR group,and these deletions are associated with Wolf-Hir-schhorn syndrome.The termination rate of pregnancy and admission to the neonatal intensive care unit in the se-vere FGR group were higher than those in the mild FGR group.In contrast,the full-term delivery rate and newborn birth weight were lower in the severe FGR group compared to the mild FGR group,showing statistically significant differences(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the rates of stillbirth and preterm birth be-tween the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusions:The detection rate of chromosomal abnormalities using CMA in fetuses with FGR was higher than traditional karyotyping.Therefore,it is recommended to combine karyotyping with CMA for invasive prenatal diagnosis of FGR fetuses.The risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes increases with severe FGR,and monitoring should be intensified during pregnancy and the perinatal period to reduce adverse pregnancy outcomes.
