Objective:
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders in children and adolescents, often accompanied by motor function disorders. Sarcopenia not only has skeletal muscle dysfunction but also has neurocognitive dysfunction. At present, there is no research to explore the relationship between ADHD and skeletal muscle function. The purpose of this study is to explore whether there is a causal effect between ADHD and sarcopenia.
Methods:
In this study, genome-wide association study data of ADHD, appendicular lean mass (ALM), hand grip strength, and walking pace (WP) were extracted from public databases. The bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) method was employed to investigate the correlation between ADHD and sarcopenia-related indicators, and the inverse-variance weighted analysis as the primary analysis method.
Results:
Based on the forward MR analysis, a potential causal relationship exists between ADHD and ALM (odds ratio [OR]=1.020, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.012–1.029, p<0.001). The reverse MR analysis indicates a link between WP and the risk of ADHD (OR=2.712, 95% CI: 1.609–4.571, p<0.001), with an accelerated WP increasing the likelihood of ADHD. Nevertheless, other MR analysis results did not show significant differences.
Conclusion
The findings of this study indicate an intricate causal relationship between ADHD and sarcopenia, suggesting the absence of a clear link. WP may be used as one of the indicators to evaluate the risk of ADHD. At the same time, we should pay more attention to the ALM of ADHD patients.

Objective To explore the safety of Yttrium-90 resin microsphere selective internal radiation therapy (90Y-SIRT) on malignant liver tumors. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 64 patients with malignant liver tumors who underwent 90Y-SIRT from February 2023 to November 2024 at Weifang People’s Hospital. The clinical characteristics of the patients and the occurrence of adverse reactions after treatment were analyzed to assess the safety of 90Y-SIRT. Results Among the 64 patients, there were 52 males (81.25%) and 12 females (18.75%); the average age was (56.29±11.08) years. Seven patients (10.94%) had tumors with maximum diameter of less than 5 cm, 38 patients (59.38%) had tumors with maximum diameter of 5-10 cm, and 19 patients (29.68%) had tumors with maximum diameter of greater than 10 cm. There were 47 cases (73.44%) of solitary lesions and 17 cases (26.56%) of multiple lesions; 53 cases (82.81%) were primary liver cancers and 11 cases (17.19%) were metastatic liver cancers. Of the 64 patients, 63 successfully completed the Technetium-99m macroaggregated albumin (99mTc-MAA) perfusion test and received the 90Y-SIRT; one patient received 90Y-SIRT after the second 99mTc-MAA perfusion test due to a work error. The most common adverse reactions included grade 1 alanine aminotransferase (ALT) elevation in 26 cases (40.62%) and grade 2 in 2 cases (9.37%), grade 1 aspartate aminotransferase (AST) elevation in 27 cases (42.18%) and grade 2 in 7 cases (10.93%); grade 1 nausea in 17 cases (26.56%) and grade 2 in 6 cases (9.37%); grade 1 abdominal pain in 12 cases (18.75%), grade 2 in 5 cases (7.81%), and grade 3 in 1 case (1.56%); grade 1 vomiting in 11 cases (17.18%), grade 2 in 5 cases (7.81%), and grade 3 in 1 case (1.56%). Conclusion The adverse reactions of 90Y-SIRT for treating malignant liver tumors are mild, indicating good safety.

Objective: To establish a method for determining the molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of Poly(Lactide-co-Glycolide Acid) (PLGA) using Size Exclusion Chromatography-Refractive Index-Multiangle Laser Light Scattering (SEC-RI-MALLS) and Size Exclusion Chromatography-Refractive Index (SEC-RID), and to compare the results obtained from these two methods.
Methods: For SEC-RI-MALLS, tetrahydrofuran was used as the mobile phase, Shodex GPC KF-803L was employed as the chromatographic column with a flow rate of 1 mL·min-1, column temperature at 30 ℃, and an injection volume of 100 μL. For SEC-RID, tetrahydrofuran was also used as the mobile phase, Agilent PLgel 5 μm MIXD-D was used as the chromatographic column with a flow rate of 1 mL·min-1, column temperature at 30 ℃, differential detector temperature at 35 ℃, and an injection volume of 20 μL. The molecular weight and molecular weight distribution were calculated using Agilent’s GPC software. The newly established methods were validated methodologically, and the molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of 13 batches of samples were determined.
Results: The precision, accuracy, stability, and repeatability tests for SEC-RI-MALLS showed RSD values of 1.35%, 1.58%, 1.53%, and 1.26%, respectively. The SEC-RID method exhibited good linearity (r=0.999 9), with RSD values for precision, accuracy, stability, and repeatability tests (n=6) of 2.05%, 1.62%, 1.30%, and 2.97%, respectively. The results obtained from SEC-RI-MALLS were lower than those from SEC-RID, and the molecular weight distribution coefficient was smaller, but the results from the paired T-test performed with the value measured by SEC-RID method and the value measured by SEC-RI-MALLS method multiplied a conversion coefficient of 1.5 showed no significant difference between the two methods.
Conclusion: Both methods are stable and reliable, and can be used for the determination of PLGA molecular weight and molecular weight distribution based on the specific situations.

Objective:
To evaluate the application effect of oral health management program based on behavior change wheel (BCW) theory, so as to provide a reference for improving children s awareness of oral self management and the development of healthy oral behaviors.
Methods:
A total of 120 children aged 5-6 from 2 kindergartens in Yubei District in Chongqing City, selected by convenience sampling method from September 2023 to March 2024, were divided into a experimental group and a control group (60 each). Children in the experimental group were given an oral health education programme based on BCW theory (promoted health awareness, cultivated healthy behavior ability, strengthened awareness and ability, and provided opportunitiess) on the basis of conventional oral health education, and children in the control group were given conventional oral health education; data were collected before and 3 months after the intervention, respectively. Comparisons between groups were made using the Mann-Whitney U test and χ 2 test.
Results:
Before intervention, there were no significant differences in plaque index [2.00(1.00,2.00), 2.00(1.00,2.00)] and the number of filled teeth [0.00(0.00,1.00), 0.00( 0.00 ,1.00)] between the experimental group and the control group ( Z=-0.88, -0.42, P >0.05). After intervention, the plaque index of the experimental group [1.00(0.00,1.00)] was lower than that of the control group [1.00(0.25,2.00)] and before intervention, and the number of filling teeth in the experimental group [1.00(0.00,2.00)] was higher than that of the control group [1.00(0.00,1.00)] and before intervention, the differences were statistically significant ( Z =-3.14, -5.48; -2.08, -3.02, P <0.05). Before intervention, there were no significant differences in oral health behavior report rate and oral health knowledge mastery rate between the two groups ( χ 2=0.30-0.91, 0.15-1.43, P > 0.05 ). After intervention, the report rates of health tooth brushing (method, frequency and duration) and preventive behavior (using fluoride toothpaste, pit and fissure sealing prevention and fluoride application prevention) in the experimental group were better than those in the control group and before intervention, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ 2=4.88-9.38, 9.13- 22.63 , P <0.05). The mastery rates of oral health knowledge in the experimental group were better than that in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ 2=4.62-8.54, P <0.05).
Conclusion
Oral health management programs based on the BCW theory are more conducive to improving children s oral hygiene, as well as enhancing children s basic oral knowledge and promoting the development of oral health behaviors.

WU Jutong profoundly understood the principles of five movements and six qi and skillfully applied them in clinical practice. His academic system is consistently guided by theory of evolution phase. Based on WU′s original works, this article reviews and synthesizes chapters related to movements and qi, analyzing and summarizing his perspectives. WU asserted that mastering movements and qi and understanding the Sanyuan are the foundational prerequisites for medical practitioners, emphasizing its necessity. As a master of theory of Seasonal Febrile Disease, he first addressed movements and qi in Detailed Analysis of Epidemic Warm Disease, clarifying the origins of warm disease theory. He interpreted the etiology, mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment of Warm Diseases through movements and qi principles, proposing that epidemic patterns and severity correlate with annual host climatic qi and guest climatic qi, as well as the heaven-governing and earth-governing qi. He noted that pestilence exhibit cold or warm attributes depending on yearly movements and qi variations, while smallpox arises from shaoyin-monarch-fire′s warm qi, necessitating movements and qi based diagnosis and treatment.Latent Summer Heat Disease frequently occurs in years such as Zi-Wu and Chou-Wei, linked to shaoyin-monarch-fire and taiyin-damp-earth. Additionally, WU critiqued predecessors′ misunderstandings of dryness, explaining autumn dryness pathogenesis as mild cases manifest as dryness, severe cases as cold, transformed as dampness and reverted as fire. He further emphasized untimely qi transformations as pathogenic factors and tailored formulas accordingly. This analysis of WU′s movements and qi thought aids in clinically applying his theoretical and therapeutic frameworks.
