ObjectiveTo review the interoceptive assessment tools in terms of structure, content and psychometric properties, based on the framework of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). MethodsThe literature on interoceptive evaluation tools was retrieved from databases of CNKI, PubMed, Medline and EBSCO. The principal structures and contents of the assessment tools were analyzed based on the ICF framework, and the quality of the psychometric properties were appraised using COSMIN. ResultsA total of 13 interoceptive assessment tools were ultimately included, involving 16 literature references. There were five interoceptive sensitivity tools, four accuracy tools and four awareness tools. In terms of content, interoceptive sensitivity tools involved 33 categories of body functions, six categories of activities and participation, and one of environmental factors; while interoceptive accuracy tools only involved seven categories of body function, and two of activities and participation items; interoceptive awareness tools involved 30 categories of body function, four categories of activities and participation, and three of environmental factors. In terms of psychometric properties, Body Perception Questionnaire-Short Form (BPQ-SF) was the sensitivity tool with the best reliability and validity (qualified rate of 7/8), followed by Interoceptive Sensitivity Questionnaire (ISQ) (qualified rate of 6/8). Most of the accuracy tools adopted standardized measurement methods, but lacked sufficient reliability and validity verification. The awareness tools were good in reliability and validity (qualified rate above 5/8), especially Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA-1) and Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ) (qualified rate of 8/8). ConclusionBPQ-SF and ISQ are recommended for interoceptive sensitivity assessment, Water-loading Test and Heart-beat Tracking Task for interoceptive accuracy assessment, and MAIA-1 and BAQ for interoceptive awareness assessment.

Allergen-specific immunotherapy（AIT） remains the only therapeutic approach with the potential to modify the natural course of allergic rhinitis（AR）. Nevertheless, considerable inter-individual variability exists in patients'responses to AIT. To facilitate more reliable assessment of treatment efficacy, the China Rhinopathy Research Cooperation Group（CRRCG） convened young and middle-aged nasal experts in China to formulate the present consensus. The recommended subjective outcome measures for AIT comprise symptom scores, medication scores, combined symptom and medication scores, quality-of-life assessments, evaluation of disease control, and assessment of comorbidities. Objective indicators may supplement these measures. Currently available objective approaches include skin prick testing, nasal provocation testing, and allergen exposure chambers. However, these methods remain constrained by practical limitations and are not yet appropriate for routine implementation in clinical efficacy evaluation. In addition, several biomarkers, including sIgE and the sIgE/tIgE ratio, sIgG4, serum IgE-blocking activity, IgA, cytokines and chemokines, as well as immune cell surface molecules and their functional activity, have been shown to have associations with AIT outcomes. While these biomarkers may complement subjective assessments, they are subject to significant limitations. Consequently, large-scale multicenter trials and real-world evidence are required to strengthen the evidence base. The present consensus underscores the necessity of integrating patients'subjective experiences with objective testing throughout the treatment process, thereby providing a more comprehensive and accurate framework for efficacy evaluation. Looking forward, future investigations should prioritize the incorporation of multi-omics data and artificial intelligence methodologies, which hold promise for overcoming current limitations in assessment strategies and for advancing both the standardization and personalization of AIT.

ObjectiveBased on the experience of traditional quality evaluation， the quality of Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma（AMR） with different production methods such as direct seeding， transplanting after seedling raising， topping and non-topping， and difference in growth years was compared. MethodVernier caliper was used to measure the trait data of AMR in different production methods. Paraffin sections of AMR with different production methods were made by saffron solid green staining， and the microstructure was observed. The contents of water-soluble and alcohol-soluble extracts in AMR with different production methods were determined according to the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia. The content of water-soluble total polysaccharides in AMR with different production methods was detected by sulfuric acid-anthrone method. Fiber analyzer was used to detect the content of fiber components in AMR with different production methods. The contents of monosaccharides， oligosaccharides and some secondary metabolites in AMR with different production methods were detected by ultra performance liquid chromatography（UPLC）， and the differences of chemical components were compared by multivariate statistical analysis methods such as principal component analysis（PCA） and partial least squares-discriminant analysis（PLS-DA）. ResultIn terms of traits， the 3-year-old AMR with direct seeding and without topping was close to the high-quality AMR with "phoenix-head and crane-neck， strong sweetness and clear aroma" recorded in ancient materia medica， followed by the 3-year-old AMR with topping after transplanting， while the 2-year-old AMR with topping after transplanting with high market circulation rate was generally fat and strong with mild odor. In the microscopic aspect， the arrangement of xylem vessels and fiber bundles in the 3-year-old samples formed two obvious rings. Compared with the 2-year-old samples cultivated in Bozhou and Zhejiang， the 3-year-old samples without topping after transplanting had more wood fibers. In terms of chemical composition， the contents of 70% ethanol extract， fructose， glucose， sucrose， 1-kestose， atractylenolide Ⅰ， chlorogenic acid， neochlorogenic acid， cryptochlorogenic acid and other components in 3-year-old AMR with direct seeding and without topping were significantly higher than those in the other three samples（P<0.05）. The contents of cellulose， 70% ethanol extract， sucrose， atractylenolide Ⅰ， atractylone and other components in 3-year-old AMR with topping after transplanting were significantly higher than those in the 2-year-old AMR with high market circulation rate（P<0.05）， while the contents of water-soluble extract and water-soluble total polysaccharides in 2-year-old samples with topping after transplanting were significantly higher than those in the 3-year-old AMR with topping after transplanting， direct seeding and without topping（P<0.05）. ConclusionUnder the current mainstream production mode， too much manual intervention makes AMR heavily enriched in polysaccharides and increased the yield， but the accumulation of sweet substances， fragrant substances and fiber substances is insufficient， which affects its quality. The current quality standard of AMR has some shortcomings in guiding the high quality production of it， it is suggested to revise the quality standard of AMR， supplement the quantitative analysis of secondary metabolites， and strengthen the production of imitation wild AMR.

Objective:To analyze the clinical features and follow-up data in children with neuropsychiatric lupus erythematosus (NPSLE), and provide reference for the diagnosis and treatment of NPSLE.Methods:The clinical data of 22 children with NPSLE who were admitted to the Department of Rheumatology Immunology and Allergy, Children′s Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2019 to March 2022 were included and were followed-up for 24~60 months. The data were analyzed retrospectively. Statistical descriptive analysis was performed using the SPSS 23.0.Results:Twenty-two (26.8%, 22/82) children with NPSLE occurred in the hospitalized children with SLE during the study period. The ratio of male to female was 1∶4.5, and the onset age was (10.7±2.0) years. Among these cases, 86.4% (19/22) patients were newly diagnosed and had severe disease activity and 16 cases (72.7%) occurred within 1 month after disease onset. Nineteen cases (86.4%) had mucocutaneous involvement, 16 cases (72.7%) had lupus nephritis, 14 cases (63.2%) had hematological system involvement, 13 cases (59.1%) had skeletal muscle involvement, 10 cases (45.5%) had serositis, 10 cases (45.5%) were complicated with hypertension, and 8 cases (36.5%) with macrophage activation syndrome (MAS). The main clinical symptoms of the nervous system included headache (11/19, 57.9%), dizziness (10/19, 52.6%), listlessness (7/19, 36.8%), blurred vision (4/19, 21.1%), convulsions (3/19, 15.8%), lethargy (2/19, 10.5%). Twenty patients (20/22, 90.9%) demonstrated abnormal signals on brain MRI, 7 cases (7/12, 45.5%) showed abnormal signals on brain CT, 10 cases (10/22, 45.5%) showed abnormal waves on EEG, and 6 cases (6/20, 30.0%) demonstrated abnormal results of cerebrospinal fluids analysis. The follow-up duration was 34 (28, 48) months. Clinical remission or low disease activity was found in 19 patients (86.4%), and no death were observed. Three cases had residual cerebral infarction lesions, no neurological sequelae were found in all patients.Conclusion:The most common symptoms of NPSLE in children are headache and dizziness, which are more likely to occur in patients with initial onset and severe disease activity, and approximately 36.5% children with NPSLE may complicated by MAS.The results of 24-60 months follow-up showed that the prognosis of the disease is good.

Objective To explore the characteristics of response to joint attention(RJA)under diverse guiding behaviors for pre-schoolers with moderate to severe autism spectrum disorder(ASD). Methods From March to May,2023,21 children with moderate to severe ASD and 16 children with developmental de-lays matched the physiological ages were selected from Jiaxing Sunlight Rehabilitation Kindergarten,and 16 typ-ical developmental children matched the physiological ages were selected from the kindergartens nearby.They accepted a behavioral experiment on RJA.The number of RJA,frequence of RJA and the coefficient of variation of guiding behaviors needed to RJA were compared among the three groups. Results About half of the ASD group responded after guiding of head-turning,and the others required higher levels of guiding.The frequence of RJA after guiding of head-turning was less in the ASD group than in the typical devel-opment group(χ2>6.170,P<0.05),and the coefficient of variation of guiding behaviors was more(d=4.039,P<0.001). Conclusion Preschoolers with moderate to severe ASD are able to respond to joint attention,and this ability is poorer than typically developing children.The guiding behavior of the evaluator should be considered in assessing and intervening RJA in preschoolers with ASD.

Objective:Pediatric chronic sinusitis （CRS） is a common disease within the field of otolaryngology-head and neck surgery. Due to the immaturity of sinus development and immune competence in children, its etiology and pathophysiology are complex, and its clinical features and outcomes differ significantly from those in adult patients. Currently, there are issues in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric CRS, particularly in areas such as antibiotic use and surgical interventions, owing to a lack of sufficient attention. In recognition of this, the Chinese Rhinopathy Research Cooperation Group developed this expert consensus based on a systematic review of the latest literatures from both domestic and international sources, with reference to the latest evidence-based medical evidence worldwide, and in combination with their own clinical experience. The consensus covers various aspects including epidemiology, predisposing factors, pathophysiology, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, as well as treatment strategies such as medical therapy and surgical intervention. It aims to standardize the clinical diagnosis and treatment of pediatric CRS, improve clinical efficacy and patient satisfaction, reduce clinical expenditures, and decrease the occurrence of adverse reactions.

Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) is an autoinflammatory disease characterized by recurrent unprovoked systemic inflammation, activation of the innate immune system, without the generation of autoantibodies or autoreactive antigen-specific T cells.Its pathogenesis is still unclear, and clinical diagnosis and treatment are challenging.Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) derived from the innate immune system are a novel neutrophil defense mechanism, and their role in sJIA has been increasingly concerned.In order to further research the pathogenesis of sJIA and to find better clinical diagnosis and treatment methods, this article reviews the involvement of neutrophils and NETs in sJIA, the pathogenesis, relevant biomarkers, potential therapeutic targets and drugs.

The allergen nasal provocation testing（NPT）, in which allergens are applied directly to the nasal mucosa under standard and controlled conditions to provoke the main symptoms of allergic rhinitis（AR）, reproduces the response of the upper respiratory tract to natural exposure to allergens under controlled conditions and is the only test currently available to confirm nasal reactivity to allergens. It is invaluable in studying the mechanisms of AR and in assessing the response to novel anti-allergic treatments. The test may play an increasingly important role in clinical practice, especially in the identification of local AR, the diagnosis of occupational AR, the clarification of the composition of allergens, the assessment of the efficacy of AR treatment and the selection of candidates undergoing allergen immunotherapy. This article reviewed the application of NPT in the diagnosis of allergic and non-allergic rhinitis, and also introduces the indications, contraindications, advantages and limitations of NPT in evaluating nasal response.
