Objective: To analyze the current burden of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) among children and adolescents in China and globally, and to predict the disease burden from 2024 to 2035, providing a scientific basis for formulating relevant public health policies and intervention measures. Methods: Based on the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database in 2023, the Joinpoint regression model was used to analyze the changing trends of the disease burden of ASD among children and adolescents in China and globally from 1990 to 2023, and the average annual percent change (AAPC) was calculated. An autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model was constructed to predict the disease burden trends of ASD among children and adolescents in China and globally from 2024 to 2035. Results: The prevalence and disability adjusted life years (DALYs) rate of ASD among children and adolescents in China increased from 452.69/100 000 and 86.67/100 000 in 1990 to 762.84/100 000 and 148.52/ 100 000 in 2023(AAPC=1.60%, 1.65%, both P <0.01). The prevalence and DALYs rate of ASD among children and adolescents globally increased from 648.49/100 000 and 123.47/100 000 to 862.44/100 000 and 167.16/100 000(AAPC=0.87%, 0.93%, both P <0.01). In 2023, the highest ASD prevalence and DALY rates occurred in children under 5 years old, with China reporting 848.14/100 000 and 166.69/100 000, both below the global averages of 928.80/100 000 and 181.34/100 000. Projections indicated that by 2035, the ASD prevalence and DALY rates in China would rise to 906.83/100 000 and 168.71/100 000, still below the global averages of 938.04/100 000 and 184.49/100 000. Conclusion The disease burden of ASD among children and adolescents in China and globally has generally increased from 1990 to 2023, with a higher risk of disease at younger ages.

Spastic lower limb paralysis is a common complication following central nervous system injury, including stroke, cerebral palsy, and brain or spinal cord trauma, with high incidence and complex conditions. In recent years, minimally invasive treatment techniques have rapidly advanced, offering new avenues to improve motor function and quality of life for these patients. However, clinical decision-making involves multidisciplinary input, such as rehabilitation, neurosurgery, orthopedics, and standardized treatment guidelines are lacking. This review systematically summarizes commonly used minimally invasive treatments for spastic lower limb paralysis, including their mechanisms, indications, efficacy, and limitations, and compares findings from domestic and international studies. The aim is to provide guidance for clinical decision-making, optimize treatment strategies, and promote development of individualized therapies.

Objective To analyze the screening results of prostate cancer(PCa)based on the serum prostate-specific antigen(PSA)level in middle-aged and elderly men in Kaifeng,so as to provide reference for optimizing the early screening strategy of PCa.Methods A multicenter cross-sectional design was adopted to analyze the serum PSA test results of male residents aged 52 to 94 collected from 14 community health service stations in Kaifeng during Jul.2024 and Apr.2025. Participants with PSA ≥4 μg/L were recommended to undergo prostate biopsy at a tertiary grade A hospital for a confirmed diagnosis.Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of referral compliance.The PSA positivity rate,referral loss rate,puncture willingness rate,and biopsy positivity rate were calculated.Results A total of 2812 men received free PSA screening.Among them,248 had abnormal PSA(≥4 μg/L),with a positive rate of 8.8%(248/2812).Only 105 cases were successfully referred to a tertiary grade A hospital,with a referral rate of 42.3%(105/248),and the referral loss rate reached 57.7%.Fifty-seven patients were advised to undergo prostate biopsy,but only 23 actually underwent prostate biopsy,and the willingness rate was 40.4%(23/57).Fourteen cases were diagnosed with PCa and the positive rate of prostate biopsy was 60.9%(14/23).The overall detection rate of PCa was 0.5%(14/2812).In the screening stage,the median PSA was 6.7(4.8-11.2)μg/L.The Spearman correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between participant age and PSA level(r_s=0.28,P＜0.001).In the diagnostic stage,only 40.4% of the referred patients underwent prostate biopsy,and the loss rate reached 59.6%.The median PSA in the PCa group was significantly higher than that in the non-PCa group(9.8 μg/L vs. 5.1 μg/L,P=0.002).Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that advanced age(OR=1.08)and educational level of primary school or below(OR=3.32)were independent influencing factors for referral disorders(P＜0.001).In terms of screening efficacy,the overall biopsy positivity rate was 5.6%(14/248).Conclusion Conducting PCa screening based on PSA testing among middle-aged and elderly male residents can significantly increase the detection rate of clinically meaningful PCa,thereby improving the overall prognosis of patients.However,insufficient referral compliance(only 42.3%)and low puncture willingness rate(only 40.4%)have limited the screening benefits.Therefore,the research suggests that measures such as strengthening health education,popularizing relevant knowledge,and providing referral support are needed to reduce the churn rate.

ObjectiveTo develop and validate a nomogram for predicting the risk of concurrent cognitive impairment in older adults with heart disease. MethodsSelf-reported data from 2 673 respondents in the 2020 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study were analyzed. The participants were randomly divided into a training set (n = 1 871) and a validation set (n = 802). Heart disease status was determined using a self-report questionnaire. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify predictors, and a nomogram for predicting the risk of concurrent cognitive impairment in older adults with heart disease was developed using R software. Bootstrap resampling was used for internal validation, and model performance was further evaluated in the randomly split validation set. The predictive performance of the model was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and calibration curves.. ResultsA total of 2 673 older adults with heart disease were included, out of whom 315 participants in the training set had cognitive impairment. Lasso regression analysis identified age, education level, place of residence, instrumental activities of daily living and depression as predictors of concurrent cognitive impairment. A prediction model incorporating these five variables was constructed. The AUC were 0.827 (95%CI 0.804 to 0.850) in the training set and 0.847 (95%CI 0.812 to 0.882) in the validation set. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test yielded P = 0.154 and P = 0.716 in the training and validation sets, respectively. Calibration curves showed good agreement between predicted and observed probabilities. Decision curve analysis indicated that the model provided favorable net benefit and predictive performance. ConclusionThe nomogram may provide a useful reference for risk screening and early intervention for cognitive impairment in older adults with heart disease.

ObjectiveTo investigate the current status of emergency management for severe mental disorders in Shanghai, and to provide countermeasures and suggestions for the establishment of a sound emergency management system for severe mental disorders and the enhancement of emergency management capability. MethodsA questionnaire survey and qualitative interviews were used to conduct an investigation into the emergency management in 17 district-level mental illness prevention and control institutions in Shanghai, which includes the basic situation of emergency management for severe mental disorders, the construction of emergency response teams and personnel, emergency preparedness drills and training, emergency management plans and rules and regulations, and problems encountered in emergency management. ResultsIn terms of emergency management mechanism and basic situation, resources such as personnel allocation, security funds and green channel were well equipped in each district-level mental illness prevention and control institution in Shanghai. However, the equipment of some hardware facilities was still insufficient to some extent. Therefore, further improvement on the emergency management mechanism for severe mental disorders was needed. With regard to the construction of emergency team and personnel allocation, the majority were those aged between 35‒<45 years old, with a bachelor’s degree, and more than 10 years of working experience. For example, 90.27% staff in district-level mental illness prevention and control institution had a bachelor’s degree or above, which was higher than that among the staff in community-level (73.60%); staff majored in clinical medicine in district-level institution accounted for the proportion at 52.71%, higher than that among the staff in community-level (28.86%); 57.24% staff in district-level institution had an intermediate professional title, higher than that among the staff in community-level (42.28%); and 69.90% staff in district-level institution had more than 10 years of working experience, higher than that among the staff in community-level (43.62%). In the aspect of emergency drills and training, all district-level mental illness prevention and control institutions in Shanghai had a high demand for emergency training, and the weak aspects mainly focused on lack of emergency service protocols, skills of addressing technical challenges, and construction of effectiveness evaluation system. Moreover, the teaching methods were primarily centered on case analysis, simulation drills, interactive discussions, and so forth. Concerning emergency management plans and rules and regulations, all districts in Shanghai had relatively established well-developed systems for emergency response plans, emergency response leadership groups, and emergency response operational task forces for severe mental disorders. About half of the institutions had established other rules and regulations related to emergency management of severe mental disorders in addition to emergency plans. ConclusionShanghai has initially established an emergency management system for severe mental disorders, but it is still fragile in specialized training for emergency management of severe mental disorders, construction of emergency management mechanisms, and the building-up of grassroots emergency teams. Further priorities should include strengthening emergency management training, enhancing the construction of emergency management personnel teams, and gradually establishing a more comprehensive and integrated emergency management mechanism for severe mental disorders.

Objective: To analyze the effects of health literacy on overweight and obesity among primary school students and their parents in terms of salt, oil and sugar reduction (referred to as the "three reductions"), so as to provide a theoretical basis for the development of obesity control measures. Methods: From March to April 2024, a total of 1 022 fourthgrade primary school students and 913 parents were surveyed in 24 classes in six counties in Shandong Province using multistage cluster random sampling, and physical measurements of primary school students were conducted. Pearsons correlation analysis and ordered multivariate Logistic regression were used to investigate the associations between health literacy of primary school students and their parents with overweight and obesity among children. Results: The detection rates of overweight and obesity primary school students in Shandong Province were 14.87% and 24.66%, respectively, with significant sex difference in obesity rate (29.46% for boys and 19.76% for girls) (χ2=12.93, P<0.01). In addition to students reducing oil scores, parental reducing salt,reducing oil,reducing sugar, comprehensive health literacy scores and students reducing salt,reducing sugar and comprehensive health literacy scores showed a negative relationship with students overweight and obesity (r=-0.10, -0.08, -0.07, -0.10, -0.04, -0.07, -0.03, P<0.05). The overweight and obesity rates among primary school students with high parental reducing salt,reducing oil,reducing sugar and composite health literacy scores were lower (OR=0.69, 0.69, 0.71, 0.63, P<0.05); and the overweight and obesity rate among students with high parental and low parental and high and low parental health literacy scores were lower (OR=0.68, 0.57, P<0.05). Conclusion Improving health literacy regarding "three reductions" for parents and children, especially parents, can effectively reduce the risk of childhood overweight and obesity.

Objective To explore the effect of esketamine on the early mental state of patients after modified radical mastectomy.Methods From August 2022 to September 2024,95 patients with breast cancer who received modified radical mastectomy in Wenzhou Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine were selected and divided into control group(48 cases)and experimental group(47 cases)according to random number table method.Patients in both groups were routinely anesthetised and underwent type Ⅱ thoracic nerve block under ultrasound guidance.The experimental group was given a single intravenous injection of esketamine 0.25mg/kg before incision,while the control group was injected with the same amount of physiological saline.The incidence of adverse reactions,visual analogue scale(VAS)score,brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-1β(IL-1β),Hamilton depression scale(HAMD)score,Hamilton anxiety scale(HAMA)score,functional assessment of cancer therapy-breast(FACT-B)score were all compared between two groups.Results On the 1st and 3rd day after surgery,the levels of TNF-α and IL-1β,the scores of HAMA and HAMD in experimental group were significantly lower than those in control group,and the level of BDNF was significantly higher than that in control group(P＜0.05).The FACT-B score of experimental group was significantly higher than that of control group at the first clinic after surgery(P＜0.05).On the first day after surgery,there were no significant differences in the incidence of nausea,vomiting,hallucination,nightmare,agitation,lethargy and VAS score between two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion The subanesthetic dose of esketamine combined with type Ⅱ thoracic nerve block can improve the early postoperative mental status of patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy.

Objective:To analyze the drug-resistance pattern and molecular epidemiological characteristics of Enterobacteriales carrying the blaNDM gene in Lishui, aiming to guide clinical anti-infection treatment. Methods:Non-duplicate blaNDM-carrying Enterobacteriales, isolated from Lishui Central Hospital, were collected and identified by VITEK MS. The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were detected by the broth microdilution method. The ST types of the strains were determined by multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Plasmid types were identified by transformation or conjugation experiments and replication initiator amplification experiments. The transposon structures were detected by PCR amplification. Finally, the epidemic regularity of blaNDM gene in Lishui was analyzed from three levels: clonal group, plasmid, and mobile genetic elements. Results:A total of 109 blaNDM-positive strains were collected. Among them, 60 strains carried the blaNDM-1 gene and 49 strains carried the blaNDM-5 gene. The 109 strains showed 100% resistance to ceftazidime and cefotaxime. The resistance rates to peracillin-tazobactam and imipenem were higher than 80%. Strains carrying the blaNDM-5 gene were more resistant to meropenem than those carrying blaNDM-1 gene( P<0.05). A total of 68 STs were detected from 109 strains, and IncX3, IncFⅡγ, IncA/C and IncT/R plasmids were detected, and 90.83% of the blaNDM genes were located in the IncX3 plasmid. Twelve types of blaNDM gene surrounding structures existed, and they all carried the highly conserved blaNDM- bleMBL- trpF gene sequence. Conclusions:The blaNDM gene has diverse transmission modes in Lishui. The IncX3 plasmid is the main factor mediating its transfer, and all strains carry highly conserved blaNDM- bleMBL- trpF gene sequence.

Objective:To determine the weight coefficient of home care service quality indicators for the disabled elderly in Beijing.Methods:In the early stage, our research group has preliminarily constructed quality indicators of home care service for the disabled elderly in Beijing. The importance scores of all indicators were obtained through expert consultation from September to October 2021. Based on the game theory, the subjective and objective weighting methods were integrated to quantify the combinatorial optimization weight assignment of those indicators, in which the subjective weighting was calculated by proportional distribution method, and the objective weighting was obtained by entropy weight method.Results:The subjective weight assignments of the first-level indicators “service conditions”“service process” and “service outcome”were 0.332 2, 0.338 9, and 0.328 9, respectively; the objective weight assignments of the above indicators were 0.332 2, 0.338 9 and 0.328 9, respectively; the combinatorial optimization weight assignment of those indicators were 0.332 2, 0.338 9, and 0.328 9, respectively. Among the second-level indicators, the combination optimization weight coefficients of the top 3 important indicators “patient family evaluation”(1.3),“emergency configuration”(1.4), and“operation process”(2.2) were 0.198 4, 0.198 4 and 0.170 8, respectively. And among the third-level indicators, the combination optimization weight coefficients of the top 5 important indicators“emergency plan”(1.4.1), “humanistic care”(2.2.6), “first aid supplies”(1.4.2), “evaluation of potential resources”(1.3.4), and “means of home visit transportation”(1.2.1) were 0.124 7, 0.075 0, 0.073 8, 0.066 5 and 0.052 7, respectively.Conclusion:The study has successfully conducted the optimization weight assignment of home care service quality indicators for the disabled elderly in Beijing, which indicates that the service conditions and service process are crucial to the quality of service.

Objective: To investigate the treatment outcomes and influencing factors among elderly patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in Lishui City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide a basis for optimizing the prevention and control strategies of pulmonary tuberculosis and reducing the risk of adverse treatment outcomes among elderly patients. Methods: Data on patients aged ≥60 years with pulmonary tuberculosis in Lishui City from 2016 to 2022 were collected from the Tuberculosis Information Management System of the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System, including basic information, diagnosis and treatment details, and laboratory test results. The successful treatment rate and the incidence of adverse treatment outcomes were calculated. Factors affecting adverse treatment outcomes among elderly patients with pulmonary tuberculosis were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 3 094 elderly patients with pulmonary tuberculosis were registered in Lishui City from 2016 to 2022, with a median age of 70 (interquartile range, 13) years. There were 2 396 male patients (77.44%) and 698 female patients (22.56%). A total of 2 676 patients achieved successful treatment, with a successful treatment rate of 86.49%. The successful treatment rate demonstrated a significant upward trend from 2016 to 2022 (P<0.05). There were 418 patients with adverse treatment outcomes, accounting for an incidence of 13.51%. The main types of adverse outcomes were death and loss to follow-up, with 199 and 100 patients, accounting for 47.61% and 23.92%, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that elderly patients with pulmonary tuberculosis who were male (OR=1.333, 95%CI: 1.018-1.745), aged ≥70 years (70-<80 years, OR=1.909, 95%CI: 1.469-2.481; ≥80 years, OR=3.878, 95%CI: 2.967-5.068), living in rural areas (OR=1.332, 95%CI: 1.068-1.661), with positive etiological results (OR=1.470, 95%CI: 1.143-1.889), and undergoing retreatment (OR=1.923, 95%CI: 1.419-2.607) had a higher risk of adverse treatment outcomes. Conclusions The successful treatment rate showed an upward trend among elderly patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in Lishui City from 2016 to 2022. Gender, age, place of residence, etiological results, and treatment type were influencing factors for adverse treatment outcomes among elderly patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.
