The nervous system is the carrier of psychological activities, and its functional state directly affects psychological activities.Neuropsychology allows people to understand human psychological activities from the perspective of neuroscience and the correlation between the production of psychological activities and the physiological activities of the brain.It also includes establishing quantitative relationships between human perception, memory, thinking, imagination, attention, personality, intelligence, behavior, and brain function.Neuropsychology is a discipline that studies the relationship between the nervous system and psychological activities and behaviors.Tic disorder (TD) belong to neurodevelopmental disorders and are closely related to neuropsychological states.Studying the neuropsychology of TD is of great significance for their clinical diagnosis and treatment.This article summarizes the current research progress in neuropsychology related to TD in children internationally.

【Objective】 To investigate the distribution of sleep and eating behavior problems in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and to analyze their correlations with clinical characteristics, in order to provide basis for fwture mechanism research and clinical intervention. 【Methods】 A total of 211 ASD children aged 2 - 7 were enrolled into this study from outpatient department from January to June 2023, and 91 typically developed children matched with age and sex were enrolled into control group.Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC), Children′s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) and a self-made questionnaire were used to assess children′s autistic behavior, sleep problems and eating behaviors. Chi-square test, t test, non-parametric test and multinomial Logistic regression analysis were performed to analyze the relationship between sleep problems and eating behaviors in children with ASD. 【Results】 The prevalence rates of sleep problems and food selectivity were significantly higher in children with ASD than those in control group (χ²=6.876、17.299, P<0.05).The total score of CSHQ of ASD children (48.55±6.07) was significantly higher than that of control group (45.24±5.33)(t=4.494,P<0.05).ASD children were more likely to report bedtime resistance, sleep onset delay, sleep duration, night waking, parasomnias and sleep disordered breathing than control group (P<0.05).The total score of CSHQ was significantly higher in ASD children with aberrant eating behaviors, and the difference was statistically significant in food selectivity (type selectivity, texture selectivity and pica) (Z=2.803, P<0.05).Multinomial Logistic regression indicated that the occurrence of sleep onset delay was positively affected by body and object use (OR=1.063), and negatively affected without food texture selectivity (OR=0.524) and pica (OR=0.343). 【Conclusions】 ASD children have a higher risk of sleep problems and aberrant eating behaviors than the typically developed children.Moreover,ASD children with aberrant eating behaviors have more severe sleep problems.The influencing factors of sleep onset delay include body and object use, food texture selectivity and pica.

With the improvement of people's living standards,the number of patients with obesity and diabetes in China has been surging,causing a great disease burden.In recent years,evidence-based guidelines has increasingly emphasized the importance of weight management in the prevention and treatment of diabetes.Although there are many issues in theoretical and practical levels to be further elucidated,there is an urgent need for both doctors and patients to adapt to this new situation.Weight loss is a"double-edged sword".Weight loss strategies that maximize the benefits for diabetic patients with overweight or obesity should be based on a proper understand-ing of the meaning of weight management.Long-term maintenance of weight loss still faces many challenges,which require accurate assessment of the disease,weighing the pros and cons of weight loss,implementation of a reason-able and feasible weight loss program,and adherence to long-term professional management.

Objective:To investigate serum vitamin A and vitamin D status in children aged 2-<7 years in 20 cities in China.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted. A total of 2 924 healthy children aged 2-<7 years were recruited from September 2018 to September 2019 from 20 cities in China, categorized by age groups of 2-<3 years, 3-<5 years, and 5-<7 years. The demographic and economic characteristics and health-related information of the enrolled children were investigated. Body weight and height were measured by professional staff members. The serum vitamin A and vitamin D levels were detected by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Chi-square test and Logistic regression were applied to analyze the association between vitamin A and vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency as well as their underlying impact factors.Results:The age of the 2 924 enrolled children was 4.33 (3.42, 5.17) years. There were 1 726 males (59.03%) and 1 198 females (40.97%). The prevalences of vitamin A and vitamin D deficiency in enrolled children were 2.19% (64/2 924) and 3.52% (103/2 924), respectively, and the insufficiency rates were 29.27% (856/2 924) and 22.20% (649/2 924), respectively. Children with both vitamin A and vitamin D deficiencies or insufficiencies were found in 10.50% (307/2 924) of cases. Both vitamin A ( χ2=7.91 and 8.06, both P=0.005) and vitamin D ( χ2=71.35 and 115.10, both P<0.001) insufficiency rates were higher in children aged 3-<5 and 5-<7 years than those in children aged 2-<3 years. Vitamin A and vitamin D supplementation in the last 3 months was a protective factor for vitamin A and D deficiency and insufficiency, respectively ( OR=0.68 and 0.22, 95% CI 0.49-0.95 and 0.13-0.40, both P<0.05). The rates of vitamin A and D insufficiency was higher in children with annual household incomes <60 000 RMB than in those with annual household incomes ≥60 000 RMB ( χ2=34.11 and 10.43, both P<0.01). Northwest and Southwest had the highest rates of vitamin A and vitamin D insufficiency in children aged 2-<7 yeas, respectively ( χ2=93.22 and 202.54, both P<0.001). Conclusions:Among 20 cities in China, children aged 2-<7 years experience high rates of vitamin A and vitamin D insufficiency, which are affected by age, family economic level, vitamin A and vitamin D supplementation, and regional economic level. The current results suggest that high level of attention should be paid to vitamin A and vitamin D nutritional status of preschool children.

Objetive： To investigate the mechanism of antidepressant effect of verbascoside based on high-throughput sequencing technology （RNA-Seq），and to explore the possible targets and signaling pathways. MethodsForty C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group，model group，fluoxetine group and verbascoside group，10 mice in each group. Except for the control group，all the other three groups were constructed with chronic unpredictable mild stimulation （CUMS） combined with solitary feeding for four weeks. Control group，fluoxetine group and verbascoside group were administered by gavage once daily for three weeks during the second week of modeling. The mice were assessed by sugar-water preference test，forced swimming test，open field test，elevated cross maze test，and water maze test. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA） was performed to detect the levels of major neurotransmitters and inflammatory factors in mice serum，and mRNA high-throughput sequencing was performed in the nucleus accumben and colon to screen differentially expressed genes and perform pathway enrichment analysis. Real-time polymerase chain reaction（Real-time PCR） was used to detect the mRNA expression of Gad，Slc32a1（VGAT） and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF） in nucleus accumbens. ResultCompared with the control group，the anxiety and depression-like behaviors in the model group increased，while the learning and memory ability decreased significantly. The content of neurotransmitter in serum decreased significantly. The content of pro-inflammatory factors increased significantly. The mRNA expression of Gad and Slc32a1（VGAT） in nucleus accumbens decreased significantly，while that of BDNF increased significantly. Compared with the model group，the anxiety and depression-like behavior of mice in verbascoside group was significantly relieved. The neurotransmitter content increased significantly，and the pro-inflammatory factors decreased significantly. The mRNA expression of Gad and Slc32a1（VGAT） in nucleus accumbens increased significantly，while that of BDNF decreased significantly.A total of 48 differentially expressed genes in nucleus accumbens and 43 differentially expressed genes in colon were screened by high-throughput sequencing. Differential genes in nucleus accumbens mainly focus on neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction， γ-aminobutyric acid（GABA）ergic synapse，synaptic vesicle cycle and other pathways. Colonic differential genes are mainly concentrated in GABAergic synapses，synaptic vesicle circulation，cyclic adenosine monophosphate（cAMP） signal pathway and other signal pathways. Compared with the control group，the mRNA expression of Gad and Slc32a1（VGAT） in nucleus accumbens of model group decreased significantly，while the mRNA expression of BDNF increased significantly. ConclusionVerbascoside has significant antidepressant effects. Its antidepressant effect may be related to the increase of monoamine neurotransmitters，the decrease of pro-inflammatory factors and the restoration of neurotransmitter homeostasis by increasing GABA，and it mainly acts through the signaling pathways such as neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction，GABAergic synapses，synaptic vesicle cycle and cAMP signaling pathway.

Schizophrenia is a serious mental disease. The diagnosis of schizophrenia so far relies heavily on subjective evidence, including self-reported experiences by patients, manifestations described by relatives, and abnormal behaviors assessed by psychiatrists. The diagnosis, monitoring of the disease progression and therapy efficacy assessment are challenging due to the lack of established laboratory biomarkers. Based on the current literature, clinical consensus, guidelines, and expert recommendations, this review highlighted evidence-based potential laboratory biomarkers for the diagnosis of schizophrenia, including genetic biomarkers, neurotransmitters, neurodevelopmental-related proteins, and intestinal flora, and discussed the potential future directions for the application of these biomarkers in this field, aiming to provide an objective basis for the use of these biomarkers in the early and accurate diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis and rehabilitation assessment of schizophrenia.

Objective:To investigate the role of Caspase-1/gasdermin D (GSDMD) -mediated cell pyroptosis in anti-tumor effect of cisplatin (DDP) in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) .Methods:HE staining and immunohistochemical staining were performed to detect the morphological changes and the expression of pyroptosis/apoptosis pathway related proteins in TNBC tissues before and after DDP-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) . The TNBC cell line MDA-MB-231 was treated with DDP and the morphological changes were observed. The type of cell death induced by DDP was analyzed by Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining and flow cytometry. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay and ELISA were performed to detect the release of LDH and inflammatory factors (IL-18 and IL-1β) in cell culture supernatant after DDP treatment. Western blot (WB) was performed to detect the expression of pyroptosis/apoptosis pathway related proteins in cells after DDP treatment. MDA-MB-231 cells treated with DDP were co-treated with caspase-1 specific inhibitor to inhibit pyroptois or co-treated with caspase-3 specific inhibitor to inhibit apoptosis. The effect of caspase-1 inhibitor or caspase-3 inhibitor on the anti-tumor effect of DDP was detected by MTT assay, clone formation assay, transwell assay and would healing test.Results:Reactive changes in the breast surgical specimen after DDP-based NACT included cell swelling and inflammatory cell aggregation around the tumor bed, which were more similar to pyroptosis. The up-regulation of key molecules of pyroptosis pathway post-NACT was significantly higher than that of key molecules of apoptosis pathway. Further experiments in vitro showed that DDP could induce MDA-MB-231 cells to show pyroptosis-like changes characterized by large bubbles blowing from the cellular membrane. Flow-cytometry analyses showed that the death type of MDA-MB-231 cells caused by DDP was mainly Annexin V +PI + cells (mainly lytic cells, such as pyroptosis) . Additionally, DDP treatment induced significant activation of caspase-1 and GSDMD, increased the release of LDH, IL-18 and IL-1β, however, the activation level of caspase-3, which dominates the apoptosis pathway, was significantly lower than that of caspase-1/GSDMD. Moreover, caspase-1 inhibitors (blocking the classical pyroptosis pathway) had a significantly greater inhibitory effect on the anti-tumor effect of DDP than caspase-3 inhibitors (blocking the apoptosis pathway) . Conclusion:Caspase-1/GSDMD mediated pyroptosis may play a leading role in the anti-tumor effect of DDP in triple-negative breast cancer.
