Objective: To assess parental expectations for the development of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and identify factors associated with these expectations, so as to provide references for improving rehabilitation outcomes and long term development in children with ASD. Methods: From June 2024 to January 2026, a total of 877 children with ASD and their parents were recruited from 27 rehabilitation institutions in Hefei. The children had been diagnosed by chief physicians at tertiary level hospitals. Demographic characteristics and data on parental expectations were collected by the Parental Expectations Questionnaire. Differences in parental expectations between groups were assessed using the Mann-Whitney U- test and Kruskal-Wallis H-test, and associated factors were examined using quantile regression. Results: The mean item score for overall parental expectations among parents of children with ASD was (4.55±0.47), and scores for all dimensions were higher than those among parents of typically developing children ( t =11.11-31.14, all P <0.01). Child age, school enrollment, and maternal personality were associated with daily living expectation scores, learning and special talents and strengths expectation scores, and special talents and strengths expectation scores, respectively ( H =6.16-8.18, all P <0.05). Parents of preterm children had higher expectations for social interaction, physical and mental well being, and daily living than parents of non-preterm children ( Z =-2.56, -2.48, -2.39, all P <0.05). Multivariate quantile regression analysis showed that children’s age was associated with the expected level of self care ability; school enrollment status was associated with the expected level of learning and specialty strengths; maternal personality was associated with the expected levels of social competence, physical and mental health, self care ability, and specialty strengths; parental age was associated with the expected levels of physical and mental health and specialty strengths; and parental educational attainment was associated with the expected level of self care ability ( β =-0.36-0.41, all P <0.05). Conclusion Parents of children with ASD in Hefei generally have high expectations for their children s development across the domains of learning, daily living, social interaction, and physical and mental well being.

Gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM)is closely associated with short-term and long-term adverse outcomes for both mothers and fetuses.In recent years,with the global prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)constantly rising,there is a significant increase in GDM incidence,with notable regional variations.Current challenges in GDM management include insufficient early screening or diagnosis,limited personalized intervention strategies,and poor adherence to long-term follow-up.Key research priorities for the future include optimizing screening methods for high-risk populations,enhancing targeted lifestyle interventions,and establishing effective follow-up and long-term health management systems.In December 2024,the American Diabetes Association(ADA)released the Standards of Care in Diabetes—2025(hereafter referred to as ADA[2025]),providing updated perspectives on the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes mellitus,as well as an overview of the definition,screening and diagnostic criteria,and management strategies for GDM.Based on ADA(2025)and the circumstances of clinical practice in China,we summarized the latest advancements in GDM research,aiming to improve comprehensive management strategies to prevent,delay,and improve adverse outcomes associated with GDM.

With the medical insurance payment system undergoes continuous reform,tertiary public hospitals are confronted with the dual challenge of medical service provision and economic operation mode.The implementa-tion of Diagnosis Related Groups(DRG)and Disease-Intervention Packet(DIP)payment reform represents a com-plex,systemic.The traditional management model dominated by a single functional department of the hospital is diffi-cult to effectively cope with the complex affairs brought about by the DRG/DIP payment method reform.It is impera-tive to innovate the management mechanism and introduce a novel collaborative governance model.To harness the synergistic effects of multiple internal management entities,including cultural integration,organizational alignment,process coordination,and incentive alignment,thereby advancing the modernization of hospital management sys-tems and enhancing managerial efficacy.

Objective To explore the mechanism of Bushen Zhupai Decoction in treating ovarian fibrosis in polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)model rats based on IL-17/TRAF6/NF-κB signaling pathway.Methods Totally 60 SPF grade female SD rats were randomly divided into blank group,model group,Yousiyue group and TCM low-,medium-and high-dosage groups,with 10 rats in each group.The PCOS model was replicated by gavage of 1 mg/kg letrozole for 21 days.The Yousiyue group was given a 10 mg/kg solution of drospirenone ethinylestradiol tablets by gavage,TCM low-,medium-and high-dosage groups were given 8.82,17.64 and 35.28 g/kg of Bushen Zhupai Decoction by gavage,once a day for 28 consecutive days.HE and Masson staining were used to observe the morphology of ovarian tissue and ovarian fibrosis,the contents of serum IL-17,IL-18 and IL-1β were detected by ELISA,the mRNA expression of IL-17,TRAF6,NF-κB p65 and TGF-β1 in ovarian tissue were determined by RT-qPCR,the protein expression of TRAF6,NF-κB p65,TGF-β1,α-SMA,E-cadherin and the positive expression of IL-17RA,TRAF6,NF-κB p65,TGF-β1 and α-SMA in ovarian tissue were detected by Western blot and immunohistochemical staining respectively.Results Compared with the blank group,the body mass,ovarian mass and ovarian index significantly increased of rats in model group,with follicular cystic dilation,thinning of granulosa cell layer,and significant increase in fibrosis positive range(P<0.01),the serum contents of IL-17,IL-18 and IL-1β significantly increased(P<0.01),the expressions of IL-17,TRAF6,NF-κB p65,TGF-β1 mRNA and IL-17RA,TRAF6,NF-κB p65,TGF-β1 and α-SMA proteins significantly increased(P<0.01,P<0.05),the expression of E-cadherin protein significantly decreased(P<0.01).Compared with the model group,the ovarian index of rats in Yousiyue group and TCM medium-and high-dosage groups significantly decreased(P<0.01,P<0.05),the rats in TCM high-dosage group showed dominant follicles,increased thickness of granulosa cell layer,and significantly reduced fibrosis positive range(P<0.01),the serum contents of IL-17,IL-18 and IL-1β significantly decreased in Yousiyue group and TCM low-,medium-and high-dosage groups(P<0.01),the mRNA expressions of IL-17,TRAF6,NF-κB p65,TGF-β1,and the protein expressions of IL-17RA,TRAF6,NF-κB p65,TGF-β1 and α-SMA in ovarian tissue significantly decreaed in TCM high-dosage group(P<0.01,P<0.05),the expression of E-cadherin protein significantly increased(P<0.01).Conclusion Bushen Zhupai Decoction can decrease the body mass,improve the ovarian index,decrease the expressions of inflammatory factors and improve the status of ovarian fibrosis in PCOS rats.The mechanism may be related to the regulation of IL-17/TRAF6/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective:To analyze the physical activity level of patients treated with a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary artery disease in the early out-of-hospital recovery phase, and the factors influencing it.Methods:Patients who had been discharged within the previous 6 months after their first PCI treatment were surveyed using a general information questionnaire, the long form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), the Chinese version of the Tilburg Frailty Scale, the Social Support Rating Scale, and for their ability in the activities of daily living. Epidemiological descriptive methods were used to analyze the reported physical activity levels, and multifactoral logistic regression was applied to explore the influencing factors. The receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was drawn to evaluate the predictive value of the risk factors.Results:A total of 394 former patients were surveyed, including 117 (30%) reporting a low level of physical activity, 202 (51%) describing a moderate level and 75 (19%) claiming a high level. The univariate analysis revealed significant differences in physical activity levels among those of different ages, with different chronic co-morbidities, and with different frailty and self-care ability. Multifactoral logistic regression analysis showed that advanced age, chronic co-morbidities, frailty and little self-care ability are significant predictors of a low level of physical activity. The area under the ROC curve for predicting the physical activity level by combining those four factors was 0.89 (95% CI 0.84-0.94), with a sensitivity of 0.89 and a specificity of 0.80. Conclusions:The physical activity level of patients treated with PCI for coronary disease is moderately low early after their release from the hospital. Targeted intervention to increase it is called for.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of respiratory human adenovirus(H AdV)infections in hospitalized children in Ningbo,and to provide data for formulating infection prevention and control strategies for HAdV.METHODS A total of 65 022 children hospitalized with respiratory infections at the Women and Children's Hospital of Ningbo University from Jul.2019 to Dec.2024 were selected as the study sub-jects.Multiple reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)and capillary electrophoresis were used to detect 11 non-bacterial pathogens.Basic and clinical information of the children was collected for analysis.RESULTS A total of 65 022 specimens were tested,with 4 292 cases tested positive for HAdV positivity,yielding a positive rate of 6.60％.The lowest positive rate was observed in 2023(3.22％),while the highest was in 2024(13.97％).Compared to the years 2019-2023,the overall HAdV positive rate was high in 2024,peaking at 26.80％in Jun.,indicating an outbreak.The total HAdV positive rate was higher in boys(6.82％)than in girls(6.32％)(P=0.006).The highest HAdV positive rate was observed in the 2 to＜6 age group(9.00％),while the lowest was in the 0 to＜1 age group(2.33％).Among the HAdV-positive specimens,2 658 cases(61.93％)were single infections,and 1 634 cases(38.07％)were co-infections.The non-bacterial respiratory pathogens with the highest co-infection rates were human rhinovirus(34.09％),Mycoplasma pneumoniae(20.44％)and human parainfluenza virus(5.75％).CONCLUSIONS A n outbreak of HAdV infections is observed among hospitalized children in Ningbo in 2024.Higher positive rates are found in boys aged 2 to＜6 years,with a certain proportion of co-infections.
