Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is often accompanied by tic disorder. The core pathogenesis is considered to be ministerial fire scorching yin and internal stirring of deficient wind, which leads to disharmony between the body and spirit, resulting in clinical manifestations. The treatment principles emphasize nourishing yin fluids, calming ministerial fire, and extinguishing endogenous wind (内风). The method of nourishing yin fluids is applied throughout the entire treatment process, commonly using ingredients such as Shudihuang (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata), Shanzhuyu (Corni Fructus), Gouqizi (Lycii Fructus), Wuweizi (Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus), and Tusizi (Cuscutae Semen). These are combined with approaches to harmonize the zang-fu organs, primarily including extinguishing liver wind, clearing heart fire, nourishing kidney water, and strengthening spleen earth, thereby stabilizing ministerial fire and extinguishing endogenous wind. Additionally, emotional regulation and smoothing emotional constraint are essential to improve clinical symptoms in children with ADHD comorbid with tic disorder.

The core pathogenesis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) lies in deficiency, stasis and stagnation. Deficiency arises from kidney essence depletion and spleen dysfunction in transportation and transformation, leading to inadequate nourishment of the marrow sea. Stasis caused by qi deficiency leads to obstruction in channels and collaterals, resulting in obstructed marrow transport. Stagnation is associated with the excess of the five minds transforming into fire, which scorches the brain orifices and leads to loss of control over marrow utilisation. Based on this, a "supplementation-unblocking-regulation" therapeutic approach is proposed. For deficiency, the focus is on supplementing kidney and fortifying spleen, and replenishing the marrow sea. For stasis, the priority is to unblock and open the orifices, and clear the marrow channels. For stagnation, the core is to clear fire and contain the mind, regulate and restore vital activity. In clinical practice, it is necessary to identify the primary and secondary pathogenic mechanisms and apply dynamic, combined treatment, integrating Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture, and guiding exercises throughout the process, aiming to provide a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD with traditional Chinese medical.

Objective:To compare the diagnostic efficacy of 18F-fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI)-42 PET/CT and 18F-FDG PET/CT for bone metastasis in patients with malignant tumors. Methods:From January 2022 to October 2023, the data of 238 patients (160 males, 78 females; age: 58(50, 66) years) with various malignant tumors who underwent both 18F-FAPI-42 and 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging at Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University were retrospectively reviewed. An abnormal focal radioactive uptake in bones on the PET images was considered as positive lesion for bone metastasis. The efficacy of 2imaging methods and the supplementary role of CT in the diagnosis of bone metastasis were evaluated by McNemar test. Results:Of 238 patients, 95 were with bone metastases and 143 were without bone metastases, including 436 lesions with bone metastases and 358 lesions without bone metastases. Based on the visual analysis, 18F-FAPI-42 PET showed a higher diagnostic sensitivity than 18F-FDG PET (98.4%(429/436) vs 86.5%(377/436); χ2=41.95, P<0.001), while 18F-FDG PET had a higher diagnostic specificity than 18F-FAPI-42 PET (83.2%(298/358) vs 70.4%(252/358); χ2=22.50, P<0.001), and the accuracies of both methods were similar (85.8%(681/794) vs 85.0%(675/794); χ2=0.16, P=0.685). However, when the positive lesions seen in PET were analyzed combined with the image features on CT by the same scanner, the diagnostic specificity of 18F-FAPI-42 PET/CT was significantly improved compared to that of 18F-FAPI-42 PET alone (91.3%(327/358) vs 70.4%(252/358); χ2=73.01, P<0.001), and was similar to 18F-FDG PET/CT (93.0%(333/358); χ2=0.78, P=0.377). Meanwhile, this combined analysis brought a higher sensitivity and accuracy of 18F-FAPI-42 PET/CT than 18F-FDG PET/CT in diagnosing bone metastases (sensitivity: 98.4%(429/436) vs 86.5%(377/436); χ2=41.95, P<0.001; accuracy: 95.2%(756/794) vs 89.4%(710/794); χ2=21.54, P<0.001). Conclusions:The diagnostic sensitivity of 18F-FAPI-42 PET for bone metastasis is superior to 18F-FDG PET, but the specificity is lower. However, when CT features is combined for analysis, the diagnostic specificity of 18F-FAPI-42 PET/CT is significantly improved, which thus can be used to diagnose bone metastasis accurately and is superior to 18F-FDG PET/CT.

Objective:To explore how one-sided/two-sided brain blood flow affects the occurrence of neurological complications in patients with Stanford type A aortic dissection, as well as to assess the factors that contribute to the development of neurological complications.Methods:A total of 162 patients diagnosed with Stanford type A aortic dissection who had undergone ascending aorta and total aortic arch replacement at Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College from August 2020 to December 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. These patients were categorized into two groups based on the presence of postoperative neurological complications: a group with neurological complications comprising 77 cases and a group without neurological complications comprising 85 cases. A comparative analysis was carried out on general clinical data, surgical and brain perfusion characteristics, as well as preoperative test indicators between these two groups in order to investigate the factors influencing the occurrence of postoperative neurological complications in patients with Stanford type A aortic dissection. The data was analyzed using Logistic regression to identify the risk factors associated with postoperative neurological complications and to develop a predictive nomogram model. Calibration curves, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and decision curve (DCA) were generated to assess the accuracy and predictive capability of the nomogram model.Results:In the group of patients who experienced neurological complications, there was a higher prevalence of a history of hypertension, longer operation time, extended periods of cardiopulmonary bypass, cross-clamping, brain perfusion, cooling, and rewarming, as well as increased postoperative drainage volume. Additionally, the levels of preoperative blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr) and lactic acid (Lac) were elevated compared to those in the non-neurological complications group: 77.9% (60/77) vs. 52.9% (45/85), (409.99 ± 104.26) min vs. (348.29 ± 63.12) min, (223.36 ± 66.86) min vs. (179.25 ± 38.59) min, 112 (94, 133) min vs. 96 (84, 113) min, (35.23 ± 9.89) min vs. (32.14 ± 6.81) min, (82.19 ± 28.69) min vs. (68.76 ± 29.06) min, (79.30 ± 22.60) min vs. (69.54 ± 16.42) min, 806 (529, 1 127) ml vs. 663 (449, 925) ml, 6.78 (5.38, 8.84) mmol/L vs. 6.08 (4.66, 7.76) mmol/L, 86.3 (64.0, 131.9) μmol/L vs. 71.0 (55.6, 84.9) μmol/L, 2.1(1.2, 4.0) mmol/L vs. 1.5 (0.9, 2.3) mmol/L. On the other hand, the percentage of patients who underwent bilateral brain perfusion was lower, and they experienced lower lowest temperature, preoperative platelet count, and ejection fraction levels than those in the non-neurological complications group: 57.1% (44/77) vs. 75.3% (64/85), (25.69 ± 1.04) ℃ vs. (26.04 ± 0.82) ℃, (175.79 ± 58.14) ×10 9/L vs. (213.87 ± 77.29) ×10 9/L, (54.18 ± 3.84)% vs. (55.34 ± 3.56)% ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that a prior history of high blood pressure, prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass duration were identified as autonomous risk factors for the development of postoperative neurological issues in individuals with Stanford type A aortic dissection, while simultaneous brain perfusion emerged as an independent protective element ( P<0.05). Subsequently, a predictive nomogram was constructed incorporating these three pivotal factors to assess the likelihood of postoperative neurological complications in patients with Stanford type A aortic dissection. The calibration curve exhibited a noteworthy level of accuracy for the nomogram predictive model ( χ2 = 9.01, P = 0.342). Additionally, the ROC curve analysis displayed an area under the curve of 0.84 (95% CI 0.78 to 0.90) for the nomogram model in predicting postoperative neurological complications in patients with Stanford type A aortic dissection, indicating a high predictive accuracy. Moreover, DCA analysis indicated that the nomogram model provided a net benefit above 0 across the spectrum of 0 to 90%. Conclusions:Postoperative neurological complications in patients with Stanford type A aortic dissection is linked to factors such as a previous history of hypertension, unilateral brain perfusion, an extended cardiopulmonary bypass duration. By developing a nomogram model that incorporates these factors, it becomes feasible to accurately forecast the likelihood of postoperative neurological complications in this patient population. This predictive tool holds significant value in facilitating proactive clinical risk evaluation and preventive measures.
