1.Correlation between parental behaviors and autistic traits in children with autism spectrum disorder
Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(6):818-821
Objective:
To understand the correlation between autistic traits in children with autism spectrum disorder(ASD) and their parental behaviors, so as to provide evidence for improving social behavior in children with ASD.
Methods:
A total of 62 children aged 4-7 years diagnosed with ASD at Guangdong Provincial Work Injury Rehabilitation Hospital and Guangzhou Yuexiu District Children s Hospital from October 2021 to May 2025 were selected as the ASD group. A random number table method was used to select 62 healthy children of the same age from 3 ordinary kindergartens in Guangzhou as the control (typically developing,TD) group. The Parental Behavior Inventory and Social Responsiveness Scale were used to evaluate parental behaviors and autistic traits in both groups. The t-test and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the relationship between autistic traits in children with ASD and parental behaviors.
Results:
Compared with the TD group, the ASD group had significantly higher scores in social awareness, social cognition, social communication, social motivation, autistic behavior patterns, and the total score of social responsiveness, with statistically significant differences ( t =35.83, 46.17, 64.36, 41.45, 49.46,101.15, all P <0.01). The score of parental support/participation in the ASD group (24.61±4.30) was lower than that in the TD group (31.27±4.58), while the score of parental hostility/coercion in the ASD group (25.51±2.72) was higher than that in the TD group (12.75±2.72), with statistically significant differences ( t = -8.34, 26.14, both P <0.01). The total score of the Social Responsiveness Scale was negatively correlated with the dimension score of parental support/participation behaviors, and positively correlated with the dimension score of parental hostility/coercion behaviors ( r =-0.60, 0.91,both P <0.05). After adjusting for covariates such as children s age, gender, and primary caregiver, ASD children with exclusive breastfeeding ( β =-8.79) and parental support/participation behaviors ( β = -0.79 ) had a lower risk of autistic traits, while children with parental hostility/coercion behaviors ( β =4.62) had a higher risk of autistic traits (all P <0.05).
Conclusion
Autistic traits in children with ASD may be related to their parental behaviors and early feeding mode.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect ofBushen-Huoxue decoction combined with oral calcium and vitamin D for senile osteoporosis.Methods A total of 120 patients with OP were enrolled and randomly divided into aBushen-Huoxue decoction group (60 patients) and a elcatonin group (60 patients). Routine use of calcium and vitamin D was adopted. On this basis, theBushen-Huoxue decoction group was treated byBushen-Huoxue decoction combined with oral calcium and vitamin D, while the elcatonin group was treated by intramuscular injection of elcatonin with oral calcium and vitamin D. VAS of low back pain and bone joint pain was evaluated, the changes of BMD in the lumbar spine and femoral neck was observed, serum calcium and phosphorus, ALP concentration changes were also observed.Results After the treatment, the low back pain in the Bushen-Huoxue decoction group (3.30 ± 0.38vs.4.32 ± 0.51,t=11.148), bone joint pain (3.15 ± 0.22vs.3.87 ± 0.26,t=11.880) VAS were significantly lower than those in the elcatonin group.Bushen-Huoxue decoction group L2-4is BMD (L2: 0.74 ± 0.15 g/cm2vs.0.63 ± 0.14 g/cm2,t=4.153; L3: 0.75 ± 0.13 g/cm2vs. 0.70 ± 0.10 g/cm2,t=2.361; L4: 0.76 ± 0.06 g/cm2vs.0.71 ± 0.10 g/cm2,t=3.321) were significantly higher than those in the elcatonin group(P<0.05).Bushen-Huoxue decoction group serum calcium (2.36 ± 0.45 mmol/Lvs. 2.19 ± 0.17mmol/L,t=2.737), serum phosphorus (1.28 ± 0.12 mmol/Lvs.1.22 ± 0.13 mmol/L,t=2.627) were significantly higher than those in the elcatonin group (P<0.05), ALP (89.20 ± 9.41 U/Lvs.114.00 ± 11.80 U/L, t=12.733) was significantly lower than that in the elcatonin group (P<0.01).ConclusionBushen-Huoxue decoction can effectively improve the clinical symptoms of senile osteoporosis, and elevate BMD content. Its efficiency was better than intramuscular injection of elcatonin.
