Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder （ADHD） is often accompanied by tic disorder. The core pathogenesis is considered to be ministerial fire scorching yin and internal stirring of deficient wind， which leads to disharmony between the body and spirit， resulting in clinical manifestations. The treatment principles emphasize nourishing yin fluids， calming ministerial fire， and extinguishing endogenous wind （内风）. The method of nourishing yin fluids is applied throughout the entire treatment process， commonly using ingredients such as Shudihuang （Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata）， Shanzhuyu （Corni Fructus）， Gouqizi （Lycii Fructus）， Wuweizi （Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus）， and Tusizi （Cuscutae Semen）. These are combined with approaches to harmonize the zang-fu organs， primarily including extinguishing liver wind， clearing heart fire， nourishing kidney water， and strengthening spleen earth， thereby stabilizing ministerial fire and extinguishing endogenous wind. Additionally， emotional regulation and smoothing emotional constraint are essential to improve clinical symptoms in children with ADHD comorbid with tic disorder.

As new evidence emerges, treatment strategies toward the functional cure of chronic hepatitis B are evolving. In 2019, a panel of national hepatologists published a Consensus Statement on the functional cure of chronic hepatitis B. Currently, an international group of hepatologists has been assembled to evaluate research since the publication of the original consensus, and to collaboratively develop the updated statements. The 2.0 Consensus was aimed to update the original consensus with the latest available studies, and provide a comprehensive overview of the current relevant scientific literatures regarding functional cure of hepatitis B, with a particular focus on issues that are not yet fully clarified. These cover the definition of functional cure of hepatitis B, its mechanisms and barriers, the effective strategies and treatment roadmap to achieve this endpoint, in particular new surrogate biomarkers used to measure efficacy or to predict response, and the appropriate approach to pursuing a functional cure in special populations, the development of emerging antivirals and immunomodulators with potential for curing hepatitis B. The statements are primarily intended to offer international guidance for clinicians in their practice to enhance the functional cure rate of chronic hepatitis B.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Radiation pneumonitis is a major complication in lung cancer radiotherapy. Four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) imaging provides dynamic ventilation information, which is valuable for lung function assessment and radiation pneumonitis prevention. Many methods have been developed to calculate lung ventilation from 4DCT, but a systematic comparison is lacking. Prediction of radiation pneumonitis using 4DCT-based ventilation is still in an early stage, and no comprehensive review exists. This paper presented the first systematic comparison of functional lung ventilation algorithms based on 4DCT over the past 15 years, highlighting their clinical value and limitations. It then reviewed multimodal approaches combining 4DCT ventilation imaging, dose metrics, and clinical data for radiation pneumonitis prediction. Finally, it summarized current research and future directions of 4DCT in lung cancer radiotherapy, offering insights for clinical practice and further studies.

Objective:To assess the clinical features and effectiveness of antiviral therapy in newborns with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) caused by congenital congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) infection, and to speculate the risk factors for poor hearing outcomes.Methods:A multicenter prospective cohort study wasconducted, enrolling 176 newborns diagnosed with cCMV at four research centers in Zhejiang Province from March 1, 2021, to April 30, 2024. Clinical characteristics at birth were recorded and hearing was followed up. The children were divided into groups based on their condition at birth, specifically into asymptomatic, mild symptom, and moderate to severe symptom groups. Additionally, they were divided into SNHL and normal hearing groups based on the results of air conduction brainstem audiometry at birth. And they were also divided into treatment and untreated groups according to antiviral treatment. Mann Whitney U test, and chi square test were used for inter group comparison to analyze the differences in clinical features between different disease groups, and to analyze the effects of clinical features, antiviral therapy, and other factors on hearing improvement. Logistic regression analysis was employed to identify the risk factors influencing hearing outcomes. Results:Among the cohort of 176 children diagnosed infection with cCMV, 90 cases were male and 86 cases were female. Of these, 79 cases were asymptomatic, 12 cases classified as mild cCMV and 85 cases as moderate to severe cCMV. Fifty cases belonged to SNHL group, with different degrees of severity, including 30 cases of mild, 9 cases of moderate, 5 cases of severe, and 6 cases of extremely severe SNHL. Among the 121 cases in the normal hearing group, 2 cases (1.7%) exhibited late-onset hearing loss despite having normal hearing at birth. Among 81 cases (46.0%) who completed the hearing follow-up, 71 cases (87.7%) had good hearing outcomes and 10 cases (12.3%) had poor hearing outcomes. Among the 81 children, 29 cases (35.8%) had SNHL at birth. During follow-up, the hearing threshold improved in 19 cases (65.5%), remained stable in 7 cases (24.1%) and progressed in 3 cases (10.3%). A total of 26 cases in the treatment group and 55 cases in the untreated group completed the hearing follow-up assessment. The rate of hearing improvement in the treatment group was found to be higher compared to the untreated group (13 cases (50.0%) vs. 6 cases (10.9%), χ2=15.00, P<0.01), with individuals in the treatment group having a 4.58 times greater likelihood of experiencing hearing improvement ( RR=4.58,95% CI 1.96-10.70, P<0.05). However, no statistically significant difference was observed in hearing outcomes between the antiviral treatment group and the untreated group ( RR=0.90, 95% CI 0.57-1.41, P=0.517). Multivariate analysis further confirmed SNHL ( OR=11.58, 95% CI 2.10-63.93, P=0.005) and preterm birth ( OR=4.98, 95% CI 1.06-23.41, P=0.042) as independent risk factors for poor hearing outcomes. Conclusions:SNHL resulting from cCMV infection presents symptoms at birth and can be improved by antiviral therapy. Poor hearing outcomes are associated with SNHL and prematurity.

Objective: To explore the current status of knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) regarding tuberculosis(TB)prevention and control among high school students, and to compare differences between male and female students, so as to provide a scientific basis for targeted TB prevention and control measures in high schools. Methods: From April to May 2024, a stratified cluster random sampling method was employed to conduct an electronic questionnaire survey among 1 912 students from 10 high schools using a compiled questionnaire on KAP towards TB prevention and control. The AMOS 26.0 software was utilized to construct structural equation modeling (SEM) and compared the difference among genders. Results: The overall awareness rate of core TB knowledge among high school students in Gongshu District was 76.62%. Additionally, core knowledge about TB (6.28±1.44), prevention attitudes (6.02±1.84), and prevention practices (6.38±2.11) scores of female students were higher than those of male students (5.96±1.74, 5.59±2.21, 6.15±2.23) ( t =4.31, 4.64, 2.25, P <0.05). The SEM showed that knowledge had a strong positive impact on practices and attitudes among boys, with total effect values of 0.963 and 0.819 , respectively; while the positive influence of attitudes on practices was relatively weak, with a total effect value of 0.186. Among girls, attitudes had a positive impact on practices and knowledge, with total effect values of 0.479 and 0.222, respectively. Conclusions The pathways and strengths of influence of KAP in the SEM of TB prevention and control differ between male and female high school students. Therefore, differentiated strategies should be implemented for TB health education targeting male and female high school students.

ObjectiveTo explore the molecular mechanism of modified Shengjiangsan in alleviating endoplasmic reticulum （ER） stress and reducing urinary protein in the rat model of diabetic nephropathy （DN）. MethodSeventy-five SD rats were randomized into normal， model， low-， medium-， and high-dose （4.37， 8.73， 17.46 g·kg^-1， respectively） modified Shengjiangsan， and irbesartan （0.014 g·kg^-1） groups， with 10 rats in each group. Rats were administrated with corresponding doses of medications or distilled water by gavage， once a day， for 8 consecutive weeks. After the last administration， the levels of glucose （GLU） in the blood， 24-hour urinary protein （24 h-UTP）， and superoxide dismutase （SOD）， malondialdehyde （MDA）， and glutathione peroxidase （GSH-Px） in the renal tissue were measured. Hematoxylin-eosin staining， periodic acid-Schiff staining， and transmission electron microscopy were employed to observe the pathological changes in rat kidneys. Immunohistochemistry was employed to measure the expression levels of nephrin， podocin， glucose-regulated protein 78 （GRP78）， C/EBP homologous protein （CHOP）， and activating transcription factor 4 （ATF4） in the kidneys of rats. Western blot was employed to measure the protein levels of silent information regulator 1 （Sirt1）， phosphorylated （p）-protein kinase RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase （PERK）， and p-eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha （eIF2α） in rat kidneys. ResultCompared with the normal group， the modeling caused pathological damage to the kidneys， elevated the levels of GLU and 24 h-UTP （P<0.05）， up-regulated the protein levels of GRP78， CHOP， ATF4， p-PERK， and p-eIF2α （P<0.05）， and down-regulated the protein level of Sirt1 （P<0.05） in rat kidneys. Compared with the model group， modified Shengjiangsan and irbesartan lowered the GLU and 24 h-UTP levels （P<0.05）， alleviated the pathological damage in the renal tissue， down-regulated the protein levels of GRP78， CHOP， ATF4， p-PERK， and p-eIF2α （P<0.05）， and up-regulated the protein level of Sirt1 （P<0.05）. ConclusionModified Shengjiangsan up-regulates Sirt1 expression and inhibits phosphorylation of proteins in the PERK/eIF2α pathway to reduce ER stress and oxidative stress in the renal tissue， thus alleviating the pathological damage in the renal tissue and reducing urinary protein in DN rats.

Objective To observe the value of quality control system based on artificial intelligence(AI)for improving imaging quality of chest CT.Methods Totally 1 726 CT images obtained from 415 patients were retrospectively collected,among which 1 414 images were used for convolutional neural network(CNN)training and the rest 312 images were used for validation.Precision,Recall,F1-Score,mean average precision(mAP)and intersection over union(IOU)of quality control system based on AI for chest CT scanning were calculated.Meanwhile,21 patients with unsatisfactory chest CT who would undergo re-examination were prospectively enrolled,and chest CT scanning with quality control system based on AI were performed.The results of 2 examinations were compared.Results Precision,Recall,F1-Score,mAP and IOU of quality control system based on AI for chest CT were all good.All 21 cases were diagnosed correctly with re-examination CT based on quality control system.Among 21 cases,the first CT misdiagnosed 19 cases,the displaying of the area,volume and display quality of pulmonary nodules were not significantly different,but the morphology,boundaries,spiny protrusions,vacuolar signs,inflatable bronchial signs of nodules as well as the thickened and twisted blood vessels were obviously different between 2 times examination.The first CT missed 1 case while correctly diagnosed 1 case.Conclusion The quality control system based on AI was helpful for improving imaging quality of chest CT and increasing diagnostic efficacy.

Objective:To explore the dosimetry difference between intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and volumetric intensity modulated arc therapy (VMAT) based on the inner edge tangent field (IETF) after left-sided breast conserving surgery.Methods:The localization CT and target organ at risk (OAR) data of 35 patients with left-sided breast cancer treated with IMRT after breast conserving surgery at Department of Radiotherapy in Yunnan Cancer Hospital from June 2022 to June 2023 were selected. The IETF-IMRT and the IETF-VMAT plans were designed for the same patient based on IETF, the dosimetry differences of target areas and OAR, as well as the planned execution time were compared between the two groups.Results:Dosimetry of target areas: for IETF-IMRT and IETF-VMAT, the D 98% of the planning target volume were (47.92±0.51) and (48.21±0.33) Gy, respectively, while the D 50% were (52.04±0.22) and (51.91±0.26) Gy, respectively, and the D 2% were (53.93±0.36) and (53.62±0.41) Gy, respectively, the conformity index were 0.84±0.03 and 0.87±0.02, respectively, while the homogeneity index were 0.12±0.01 and 0.10±0.01, respectively, with statistically significant differences ( t=-3.87, P<0.001; t=3.53, P=0.001; t=5.30, P<0.001; t=-13.60, P<0.001; t=6.24, P<0.001). Dosimetry of OAR: for IETF-IMRT and IETF-VMAT, the left lung V 5 were (31.91±6.28) % and (33.99±6.31) %, respectively, and the V 20 were (11.71±2.06) % and (9.73±2.12) %, respectively, with statistically significant differences ( t=-4.18, P<0.001; t=12.40, P<0.001). The right lung V 5 were (0.11±0.08) % and (7.13±3.12) %, respectively, and the D mean were (1.05±0.12) and (2.71±0.27) Gy, respectively, with statistically significant differences ( t=-33.62, P<0.001; t=-13.30, P<0.001). The spinal cord D 2% were (1.08±0.11) and (4.83±1.40) Gy, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( t=-15.99, P<0.001). The left lung D mean were (7.45±1.08) and (7.37±1.03) Gy, the heart D mean were (4.21±0.96) and (4.41±0.48) Gy, and the right-sided breast D mean were (3.74±1.52) and (3.48±1.11) Gy, respectively, with no statistically significant difference ( t=1.16, P=0.253; t=-1.76, P=0.088; t=1.41, P=0.169). Planned execution time: the execution time of IETF-IMRT and IETF-VMAT was (10.73±1.21) and (2.18±0.17) min, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( t=44.71, P<0.001) . Conclusion:Both IETF-IMRT and IETF-VMAT can meet clinical requirements, however the two techniques have their own characteristics. IETF-VMAT has better conformity and homogeneity of target region. The planned OAR dosimetry in both plans are significantly lower than the dose limit of postoperative radiotherapy for breast cancer, among which the left lung V 5, the right lung V 5, D mean and spinal cord D 2% of IETF-IMRT are slightly lower, the left lung V 20 of IETF-VMAT is slightly lower. IETF-VMAT significantly reduces the planned execution time compared with IETF-IMRT, thus can greatly reduce the dose deviation caused by patient position change, and significantly improve patients experience and comfort of radiotherapy. Taken together, IETF-VMAT has advantages over IETF-IMRT in radiotherapy after breast conserving surgery of left-sided breast cancer.
