Objective:To explore the mediating role of working memory (WM) in the cortisol-awakening response (CAR) and multiple object tracking (MOT) in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Methods:92 children with ADHD (ADHD group) and 94 typically developing children (control group) were selected from January 2022 to October 2022. Salivary cortisol levels were detected and analyzed in all children at four time points after awakening. Children's WM and MOT performance were assessed by the 1-back and MOT paradigms, respectively. SPSS 26.0 software was used for t-test and Pearson correlation analysis of the data, and plug-in PROCESS model 4 of SPSS 26.0 was used for mediated effects analysis. Results:(1) ADHD group showed significantly lower CAR, 1-back accuracy and MOT performance((30.97±5.63), (81.33±10.64) %, (2.36±0.37)) than the control group((32.41±3.48), (91.19±7.12) %, (2.62±0.28))( t=-2.09, -7.22, -5.31, all P<0.05). (2) Pearson analysis showed that CAR was positively correlated with 1-back accuracy ( r=0.293, P<0.01) and MOT performance ( r=0.740, P<0.01). 1-back accuracy was positively correlated with MOT performance ( r=0.368, P<0.01). (3) WM partially mediated the effect of CAR on MOT in children with ADHD, accounting for 6.13% (0.003/0.049) of the total effect. Conclusion:Children with ADHD have deficits in MOT.WM plays a mediating role between CAR and MOT performance in children with ADHD.

Objective:To analyze the value of 68Ga-fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI)-04 PET/CT in the detection of myocardial injury in patients treated with anti-tumor therapy. Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 164 patients who underwent 68Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT to evaluate the efficacy of anti-tumor therapy in Renji Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University between August 2021 and March 2024. The patients were divided into 68Ga-FAPI-04-positive group ( n=63, 36 males, 27 females, age (66.7±9.6) years) and 68Ga-FAPI-04-negative group ( n=101, 42 males, 59 females, age (55.2±14.1) years) based on the uptake of left ventricular myocardium (LVM). Moreover, FAPI-04 uptake was analyzed based on different types and locations, and the corresponding SUV max differences were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test. The differences of SUV max between 68Ga-FAPI-04-positive group and 68Ga-FAPI-04-negative group were analyzed by Mann-Whitney U test. The clinical factors such as gender, age, body mass index (BMI), previous history of coronary heart disease, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), smoking history, hypertension, diabetes, cancer types and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) treatment were collected, and their predictive values for LVM 68Ga-FAPI-04 uptake were investigated by the binary logistic regression analysis. Results:Fifty patients of the 68Ga-FAPI-04-positive group (79.4%, 50/63) showed focal uptake of LVM, 7 patients (11.1%, 7/63) showed multifocal myocardial uptake, and 6 patients (9.5%, 6/63) showed diffuse myocardial uptake. A total of 127 uptake lesions were found, and most of them were located in the septum (37.8%, 48/127). The SUV max of LVM in 68Ga-FAPI-04-positive group and 68Ga-FAPI-04-negative group were 4.00(3.10, 5.40) and 1.31(1.20, 1.40) respectively ( z=-10.82, P<0.001). Differences of the SUV max among focal uptake group, multifocal myocardial uptake group, and diffuse myocardial uptake group were not significantly different (4.00(3.00, 5.10) vs 7.60(3.60, 9.30) vs 3.95(3.05, 5.05); H=3.81, P=0.149). There is no statistically significant difference either in FAPI uptake among different sites of LVM ( H=1.51, P=0.825). Age, previous history of coronary heart disease, BMI, LVEF and ICIs treatment were independent predictive factors for positive 68Ga-FAPI-04 uptake in the LVM (odds ratio ( OR) values: 0.87-10.43, all P<0.05). Conclusion:68Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT is a potential new imaging method for the visualization of myocardial injury in patients with anti-tumor therapy.

Objective:A DNA coordination polymer(Ca-pHis-Apt1 9S)was synthesized and its effect on the activity of bone marrow stem cells(BMSCs)was investigated. Methods:BMSCs were extracted from the epiphysis of the femoral shaft of mice by adherence screening method and identified by the expression of surface antigens through flow cytometry.Cell penetrating peptide pHis was covalently linked with the BMSCs aptamer Aptl9S,and a DNA coordination polymer(Ca-pHis-Aptl 9S),which was expected to improve the viability of BMSCs,was prepared through coordination assembly with calcium ions.BMSCs were treated with different concentrations of Ca-pHis-Apt1 9S,and the effects of Ca-pHis-Apt1 9S on the biological activities and the phenotype of BMSCs were evaluated by CCK-8 assay,live/dead cell staining assay and flow cytometry assay.The targeting ability of Ca-pHis-Apt1 9S toward BMSCs was observed using a fluorescence confocal microscope.Meanwhile,CCK-8 assay was used to study the main components of Ca-pHis-Aptl 9S that could promote the viability of BMSCs. Results:Spherical Ca-pHis-Apt1 9S with the particle size of 50-120 nm was successfully synthesized.The synthesized Ca-pHis-Apt1 9S could significantly promote the viability of BMSCs(P<0.05)without affecting the apoptosis or the expression of surface antigens(CD29,CD44 and CD34).Confocal microscopy analysis showed that the BMSCs aptamer Apt19S could further enhance the cellular uptake of Ca-pHis-Apt1 9S by BMSCs.The results of CCK-8 assay revealed that pHis in Ca-pHis-Apt1 9S was the main component that could promote the viability of BMSCs,and this promotional effect was dose-dependent(P<0.05). Conclusion:Ca-pHis-Aptl 9S can target BMSCs in vitro and significantly promote their biological activity without affecting their phenotype,providing a new method for the in vitro culture of BMSCs.
