Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a range of neurodevelopmental diseases characterized by social dysfunction and stereotypic behaviors. The etiology of ASD remains largely unexplored, resulting in a diverse array of described clinical manifestations and varying degrees of severity. Currently, there are no drugs approved by a supervisory organization that can effectively treat the core symptoms of ASD. Childhood and adolescence are crucial stages for making significant achievements in ASD treatment, necessitating the development of drugs specifically for these periods. Based on the drug targets and mechanisms of action, it can be found that atypical psychotropic medications, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant medications, hormonal medications, ion channel medications, and gastrointestinal medications have shown significant improvement in treating the core symptoms of ASD in both children and adolescents. In addition, comparisons of drugs within the same category regarding efficacy and safety have been made to identify better alternatives and promote drug development. While further evaluation of the effectiveness and safety of these medications is needed, they hold great potential for widespread application in the clinical treatment of the principal symptoms of ASD.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of calcification by full field digital mammography in cases without breast palpable lumps or nodules in ductal carcinoma in situ(DC1S).Methods Based on breast imaging-reporting and data system (BI-RADS)proposed by the American College of Radiology (ACR),the cases without palpable lumps or nodules,but with calcification (over Category 4a)found by full field digital mammography admitted from Oct.2014 to Oct.2016 were analyzed.They underwent excisional biopsy after three-dimensional guide wire positioning or three-dimensional vacuum rotary cutting.After being filmed again to make sure the resection was complete,the isolated specimen were sent to pathological examination.The pathology and calcification were analyzed and summarized.Results Among 126 cases,71 (56.3％)were breast adenosis,41 (32.5％) were DCIS,6(4.8％) were infiltrating ductal carcinoma (IDC),and 8 (6.3％)were other types.The detection rate of DCIS in younger group was higher.The calcifications in DCIS were mostly linear-branching,segmental calcification,and those in IDC were mostly pleomorphic,clustering or regional calcification.Conclusion Full field digital mammography has great diagnostic value for DCIS in cases with calcification but without palpable breast lumps or nodules.
