It is considered that "turbid pathogen damaging the clear, and the loss of clarity and harmony regulation" is the core pathogenesis of esophageal precancerous lesions, with turbid pathogen persisting throughout the disease course. Turbid pathogen encompasses qi turbidity, phlegm turbidity, stasis turbidity, and toxin turbidity, closely related to dietary indiscretion, emotional disharmony, spleen-stomach deficiency, and kidney deficiency failing to consolidate. Turbid pathogen undergoes a dynamic evolution process of qi constraint generating turbid→ phlegm-stasis transforming into toxin→turbidity toxin harming the healthy qi, corresponding to the pathological alterations of hypoxia, inflammation and immunosuppression within the tumor microenvironment. The overall therapeutic principle is to remove turbidity and restore clarity. In the early stage, targeting the hypoxic tumor microenvironment, the suggested treatment method is opening constraint and dispersing the block, regulating qi and remove turbidity, with emphasis on soothing liver and regulating stomach, raising the clear and directing the turbid downward. In the middle stage, targeting inflammatory microenvironment, the treatment aims to clear toxin and dissipate nodules, resolve stasis and eliminate turbid, emphasizing phlegm-stasis elimination, turbid-toxin resolution, and concurrent stomach qi protection. In the late stage, corresponding to immunosuppressive microenvironment, the method of boosting qi, nourishing yin, reinforcing healthy qi, and eliminating turbidity can be used, with focus on spleen-stomach tonification, kidney essence replenishment, and healthy qi reinforcement to expel pathogenic factors.

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.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) has become the most common chronic liver disease worldwide. Its pathological process is centered on the “two-hit” theory, with gut-liver axis dysregulation running through the entire disease course from steatosis to liver cirrhosis and even hepatocellular carcinoma, and it forms an extensive cross-system regulatory mechanism with the metabolic, cardiovascular, renal, and psychological and nervous systems through multi-dimensional pathways such as the “gut-liver-brain axis”, the “liver-kidney axis”, and the “liver-heart axis”. Disease progression is not limited to the liver itself, and it also involves functional imbalance of multiple organ systems throughout the body. This article systematically elaborates on the association mechanism of “liver pathological progression-multi-axis regulation-comorbidity occurrence” in MAFLD, proposes synergistic management strategies integrating early screening based on risk stratification, targeted intervention, and multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment, and analyzes the limitations of current research and future development directions, in order to provide a theoretical basis and practical guidance for precise diagnosis and treatment and individualized management of MAFLD.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy of Fuzheng Huaji Formula (扶正化积方) for chronic hepatitis B to reduce the incidence of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted, collecting medical records of 118 patients with chronic hepatitis B and 234 patients with hepatitis B-related cirrhosis who visited the hospital between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2018. The use of Fuzheng Huaji Formula was designated as the exposure factor. Patients receiving antiviral treatment for hepatitis B without concurrent Fuzheng Huaji Formula therapy were included in the western medicine group, while those receiving antiviral treatment combined with Fuzheng Huaji Formula for a cumulative treatment lasting longer than 3 months were included in the combined treatment group. The follow-up observation period was five years. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to assess the cumulative incidence of cirrhosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B and the cumulative incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with hepatitis B-related cirrhosis. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were employed to examine the factors influencing the occurrence of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. ResultsAmong patients with chronic hepatitis B, there were 55 cases in the combined treatment group and 63 cases in the western medicine group; among patients with hepatitis B-related cirrhosis, there were 110 cases in the combined treatment group and 124 cases in the western medicine group. Five-year follow-up outcomes for chronic hepatitis B patients showed that the cumulative incidence of cirrhosis was 5.45% (3/55) in the combined treatment group and 17.46% (11/63) in the western medicine group, with a statistically significant difference between groups (Z = 2.003, P = 0.045). Five-year follow-up outcomes for hepatitis B-related cirrhosis patients showed that the cumulative incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma was 8.18% (9/110) in the combined treatment group and 22.58% (28/124) in the western medicine group, also showing a statistically significant difference (Z = 3.007, P = 0.003). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses indicated that treatment with Fuzheng Huaji Formula is an independent protective factor in preventing the progression of chronic hepatitis B to cirrhosis and the progression of hepatitis B-related cirrhosis to hepatocellular carcinoma (P<0.05). ConclusionCombining Fuzheng Huaji Formula with antiviral therapy for hepatitis B can effectively intervene in the disease progression of chronic hepatitis B, reducing the incidence of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Adipocytic tumors are the most common type of soft tissue tumors,which can be divided into lipomas and liposarcomas.Studies have found that benign lipomas resected from the same site can transform into liposarcomas,especially atypical lipomatous tumors(ALT),suggesting an underlying biological association.In this case,the patient underwent resection of a right neck mass in our hospital in 2017,and the pathology showed fibrolipoma.One year later,the mass recurred at the original site but was not treated.By 2023,the mass had significantly enlarged and extended deeply.MRI showed that the lesion had an unclear boundary with the surrounding fat,suggesting liposarcoma.Puncture and molecular pathology showed MDM2 gene amplification,and the diagnosis of ALT was made,which was confirmed by pathology after complete surgical resection.It can be seen that adipocytic tumors have great differences in biological behavior,and benign lipomas can transform into liposarcomas(especially ALT).Clinically,it is necessary to combine imaging,pathology and molecular detection(such as MDM2/CDK4)for differentiation to formulate treatment plans.

Objective:To analyze the current status and related factors of occupational burnout among immunization program staff in Dezhou City in 2025.Methods:From February to March 2025, 1 209 healthcare workers engaged in immunization programs in all disease prevention and control centers (CDCs), vaccination clinics and obstetrics vaccination rooms within the jurisdiction of Dezhou City were enrolled in this study. Basic information was collected via questionnaires. The Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS) was used to assess occupational burnout status across three dimensions: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and low personal achievement, with severity graded by scores. Multivariate logistic regression models were adopted to analyze the related factors of occupational burnout.Results:Among 1 209 participants, 986 (81.56%) were female and 513 (42.43%) were aged ≥40 years old. About 91 (7.53%) worked in CDCs, 970 (80.23%) in vaccination clinics and 148 (12.24%) in obstetric units. The detection rate of occupational burnout was 83.87% (1 014/1 209), with mild-to-moderate and severe occupational burnout rates of 16.38% (198/1 209) and 67.49% (816/1 209), respectively. Multivariate logistic regression model showed that compared with those who had no intention of resigning, those who frequently had turnover intention ( OR=10.225, 95% CI: 4.093-25.543) had a higher risk of experiencing occupational burnout. Compared with those who slept for more than seven hours a day, those who slept for less than six hours a day ( OR=4.266, 95% CI: 1.773-10.266) and those who slept for 6-7 hours ( OR=1.543, 95% CI: 1.100-2.164) had a higher risk of developing occupational burnout. Conclusion:The detection rate of occupational burnout among immunization program staff in Dezhou City is relatively high, significantly related to frequent turnover intention and insufficient sleep.

Objective:To study the cardiac morphology and function of fetuses with different types of complete transposition of the great arteries(cTGA)by using fetal heart quantification(fetal HQ).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 50 fetuses diagnosed with cTGA through fetal echocardiography at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital,Zhejiang University School of Medicine from July 2020 to December 2024. These cases were categorized into simple cTGA group( n=31)and complex cTGA group( n=19)based on the presence of concomitant cardiac anomalies. A control group of 160 normal fetuses with matched gestational ages was selected for comparison. Utilizing fetal HQ technology,the cardiac longitudinal diameter,transverse diameter,area,global sphericity index(GSI),left and right ventricular end-diastolic area(LVEDA,RVEDA),left and right ventricular fractional area change(LVFAC,RVFAC),left and right ventricular global longitudinal strain(LVGLS,RVGLS),and segmental sphericity index of 24 segments for both left and right ventricles(LVSI,RVSI)were measured. The analysis focused on comparing the differences among the simple cTGA group,complex cTGA group,and the control group. Results:Compared to the control group,the simple cTGA group exhibited significantly lower fetal GSI,LVEDA,RVFAC,and RVGLS(all P<0.05). Statistically significant differences were observed in LVSI segments 1-4 and 10-17,as well as RVSI segments 1-7,9,and 15-23 compared to the control group(all P<0.05). In comparison with the control group,the complex cTGA group demonstrated significantly reduced fetal GSI,LVFAC,LVGLS,RVFAC,and RVGLS(all P<0.05). Significant differences were noted in LVSI segments 5-8 and 10-14,along with RVSI segments 1-14 and 24 compared to the control group(all P<0.05). When compared to the simple cTGA group,the complex cTGA group showed significantly lower LVFAC,LVGLS,RVFAC,and RVGLS(all P<0.05),while GSI and LVEDA were significantly higher(all P<0.05). Statistically significant differences were observed in LVSI segments 3-4,6-8,and 17,as well as RVSI segments 10-19 between the complex cTGA group and the simple cTGA group(all P<0.05). Conclusions:The comprehensive parameters provided by Fetal HQ facilitate the assessment of cardiac morphology and function in cTGA fetuses,enabling a deeper understanding of the alterations in cardiac structure and function across different types of cTGA. This advanced analysis offers valuable reference information for clinical guidance during pregnancy.
