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.

Objective:
To explore the association between warning signs of psychological and behavioral development problems with emotional and behavioral problems in preschool children in Bao an District, Shenzhen, so as to provide an empirical basis for optimizing psychological screening strategies in kindergartens.
Methods:
From September 2023 to August 2024, a total of 49 804 preschool children aged 4-6 years from all 401 kindergartens in Bao an District were enrolled as study subjects. The Warning Signs Checklist for Screening Psychological, Behavioral and Developmental Problems of Children and the parent version of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) were used to assess children s developmental status and emotional and behavioral problems, respectively. Multivariable Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association between warning signs and emotional and behavioral problems, stratified by sex.
Results:
The overall positive screening rate for developmental warning signs was 1.5%, and the detection rate for high risk in the SDQ total difficulties score was 6.3%. Multivariable Logistic regression analysis revealed that after adjusting for age, children who screened positive for warning signs exhibited a significantly higher risk of elevated SDQ total difficulties and subscale scores compared to those who screened negative, across both sexes (a OR boys =1.66-13.42, a OR girls =2.04-22.15, all P <0.01). The only exceptions were gross motor skills and conduct problems in boys, and personal social skills and conduct problems in girls. Notably, abnormalities in the personal social domain demonstrated the strongest association with emotional/behavioral problems (a OR boys =7.72-13.42, a OR girls =3.88-22.15), followed by the language domain (a OR boys =4.63-9.23, a OR girls =3.78-14.41) (all P <0.01).
Conclusion
A positive screening result for warning signs, particularly in the personal social and language domains, serves as a strong indicator of emotional and behavioral problems in preschool children.

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.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Yulin Hukun decoction on autophagy mediated by phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway in the mouse model of cyclophosphamide-induced diminished ovarian reserve and explore the follicular development-improving mechanism of this decoction. MethodsSixty female ICR mice with normal estrous cycle were assigned into a blank group (n=10) and a modeling group (n=50). The model was established by intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide (60 mg·kg-1) for 5 days. The successfully modeled mice were randomly grouped as follows: model, estradiol (0.26 mg·kg-1), and high-, medium-, and low-dose (56.42, 28.21, 14.105 g·kg-1, respectively) Yulin Hukun decoction, with 10 mice in each group. The blank group and the model group received normal saline (10 mL·kg-1). The intervention was performed once a day for 21 days. The general conditions, estrous cycle, body weight, and ovary index were observed and recorded for each group. Serum levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol (E2), and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Histopathological changes in the ovarian tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of PI3K, Akt, mTOR, autophagy-related protein 7 (Atg7), beclin1, microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3Ⅱ (LC3Ⅱ), ubiquitin-binding adaptor protein (p62), forkhead box protein O1 (FoxO1), and acetylated forkhead box protein O1 (Ac-FoxO1) in mouse ovaries. Real-time PCR was adopted to determine the mRNA levels of PI3K, Akt, mTOR, Atg7, beclin1, and LC3Ⅱ in the mouse ovarian tissue. ResultsCompared with the blank group, the model group had disturbed estrous cycle, decreased body weight (P<0.05), loose ovarian structure with increased atretic follicles, increased serum FSH level (P<0.05), and decreased AMH and estradiol levels (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the treatment groups showed recovered estrous cycles and body weight. The estradiol group and high- and medium-dose Yulin Hukun decoction groups showed declined FSH level (P<0.05) and elevated AMH levels (P<0.05). In addition, the treatment groups showed downregulated protein levels of Atg7, LC3Ⅱ, beclin1, FoxO1, and Ac-FoxO1 (P<0.01), upregulated protein levels of PI3K, Akt, mTOR, and p62 (P<0.01) in the ovarian tissue, gradual repair of the ovarian structure, with more intact and numerous follicles of various stages. ConclusionYulin Hukun decoction can inhibit autophagy in ovarian granulosa cells by activating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway and inhibiting the expression of autophagy-related proteins and transcription factors, thereby improving follicular development and ovarian reserve.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Radiation pneumonitis is a major complication in lung cancer radiotherapy. Four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) imaging provides dynamic ventilation information, which is valuable for lung function assessment and radiation pneumonitis prevention. Many methods have been developed to calculate lung ventilation from 4DCT, but a systematic comparison is lacking. Prediction of radiation pneumonitis using 4DCT-based ventilation is still in an early stage, and no comprehensive review exists. This paper presented the first systematic comparison of functional lung ventilation algorithms based on 4DCT over the past 15 years, highlighting their clinical value and limitations. It then reviewed multimodal approaches combining 4DCT ventilation imaging, dose metrics, and clinical data for radiation pneumonitis prediction. Finally, it summarized current research and future directions of 4DCT in lung cancer radiotherapy, offering insights for clinical practice and further studies.
