BackgroundAttention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by age-inappropriate inattention, excessive activities incongruous with setting, and emotional impulsivity. Subthreshold ADHD (sADHD) is clinically defined as the presence of ADHD symptoms that do not meet the full diagnostic criteria for ADHD. Children with sADHD exhibit deficits in executive function, demonstrate more conduct, learning, and anxiety-related problems compared to typically developing children, and show even poorer working memory performance than children diagnosed with ADHD. Currently, there is limited epidemiological research on sADHD in China, with few studies simultaneously investigating the prevalence of both ADHD and sADHD in children. ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of ADHD and sADHD among children aged 6–13 years in Chongqing, analyzing their distribution characteristics within this population, with the aim of providing references for developing preventive measures against both ADHD and sADHD. MethodsFrom October to November 2023, a total of 3 398 students in grades 1–6 from six primary schools in Jiangbei District, Chongqing were selected using a stratified cluster random sampling method. The occurrence of ADHD and sADHD was evaluated by using the short version (18-item version) of the Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham IV rating scales (SNAP-IV) and the Chinese vision of Schedule for Affective Disorder and Schizophrenia for School-aged Children-Present and Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL). ResultsThe ADHD detection rate among children in Chongqing was 1.90% (95% CI: 0.014–0.024). Boys showed a significantly higher ADHD detection rate than girls (χ2=7.733, P=0.005). No statistically significant differences were found in ADHD detection rates across different grades or age groups (χ2=7.347, 12.362, P>0.05). The sADHD detection rate was 6.32% (95% CI: 0.054–0.072). Similarly, boys exhibited significantly higher sADHD detection rates than girls (χ2=21.005, P<0.01). Significant differences emerged across different grades (χ2=20.559, P=0.001), while no statistically significant difference was observed in age groups (χ2=12.070, P=0.060). ConclusionThe ADHD detection rates were comparable across all grade levels and age groups from 6–13 years old. Second-grade children demonstrated notably higher sADHD rates compared to other grades, while boys demonstrated higher prevalence rates than girls for both ADHD and sADHD.

Objective:To construct a sizeable naive human Fab phage display antibody library to screen high-affinity specific antibodies in vitro. Methods:Total RNA was extracted from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of 126 healthy individuals, subsequently reverse-transcribed into cDNA, and used as a template. PCR amplification was performed to obtain the V H from IgG, IgM and light chain κ, λ, separately, with the initial PCR products serving as templates for a second round of PCR. Overlap extension PCR was employed to generate fragments of the κ and λ light chains. These fragments were ligated with the phage vector pNC3, which harbors the variable region 1 of the heavy chain, to construct a recombinant phage plasmid. This plasmid was then electroporated into competent Escherichia Coli TG1 cells to establish a naive human Fab phage display antibody library. One hundred clones were randomly selected for identification and sequencing, and antibody gene polymorphisms were analyzed using the IMGT database and MAFFT software. Recombinant α-hemolysin from Staphylococcus aureus was utilized to screen Fab antibody fragments through biopanning of the antibody library, followed by random selection of phage ELISA-identified clones. The positive clones (antigen A450∶blank control A450≥2.1) were sequenced. Results:Two large naive Fab phage display antibody libraries were successfully constructed, in which the capacity of κ and λ chain antibody libraries were 1.25×10 11 and 1.54×10 11, respectively. The titers for two antibody libraries were 6.04×10 13 CFU/ml and 3.50×10 13 CFU/ml. The positive transformation insertion rates for κ and λ chain antibody libraries were 96% (96/100) and 100% (100/100), respectively. Sequence analysis revealed that all antibody sequences were unique. The amino acid sequences in the skeletal region were relatively conserved. In contrast, significant variations in the length of the complementarity determining region (CDR) were found, and the diversity of amino acid sequence of the complementary determining region was high, especially the CDR3. Analysis using the IMGT database indicated that the sequences exhibited a broad distribution across variable-diversity-joining gene families. After six rounds of panning, specific phage antibodies enrichment targeting α-hemolysin were achieved. A total of 142 monoclonal antibodies were sequenced, yielding 8 distinct Fab antibody sequences. Conclusion:This study successfully constructed two naive human Fab phage display antibody libraries with large capacity and good diversity, which can be used for screening human antibodies for serum epidemiology.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for severe postpartum hemorrhage (SPPH) during vaginal delivery of twin pregnancy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from twin pregnancies ≥28 weeks′ gestation undergoing vaginal delivery at Peking University Third Hospital between January 2016 and December 2023. The twin pregnant women were divided into the SPPH group (postpartum hemorrhage ≥1 000 ml within 24 hours) with 22 cases and the non-SPPH group with 171 cases. The differences between the two groups were compared and the risk factors for SPPH were analyzed.Results:(1) The incidence of SPPH during vaginal delivery in twin pregnancies was 11.4% (22/193). The causes of SPPH included 12 cases (54.5%, 12/22) of simple uterine atony, 4 cases (18.2%, 4/22) of uterine atony combined with vaginal lacerations after forceps delivery, and 6 cases (27.3%, 6/22) of uterine atony combined with placental factors. (2) The age and postpartum hospital stay in the SPPH group were significantly higher than those in the non-SPPH group (all P<0.05). Compared to the non-SPPH group, the proportion of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, accreta placenta implantation, and anemia in the SPPH group were significantly increased, and the birth weight of newborn 1st, the sum of the birth weights of two newborns, the duration of the second stage of labor, and the proportion of labor followed induction were also significantly increased (all P<0.05). (3) Multivariate analysis showed that age ≥38 years ( OR=16.785, 95% CI: 2.679-105.166; P=0.003), the second stage of labor ≥90 minutes ( OR=9.670, 95% CI: 2.532-36.930; P=0.001), hypertensive disorders in pregnancy ( OR=5.945, 95% CI: 1.702-20.761; P=0.005), and anemia ( OR=8.048, 95% CI: 2.086-31.049; P=0.002) were independent risk factors for SPPH in twin pregnancies during vaginal delivery. Conclusions:Anemia should be actively corrected during twin pregnancy. For twin pregnant women with advanced age, hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, or other risk factors of SPPH, if vaginal delivery is chosen, attention should be paid to the management of labor duration, dynamic assessment of the risk of postpartum hemorrhage, and proactive measures should be taken to ensure a smooth vaginal delivery and effectively reduce the incidence of SPPH.

Objective:To investigate the prognostic factors of ultrasound-guided microwave ablation (MWA) in the treatment of papillary thyroid carcinoma.Methods:The medical records of 97 patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma treated in Shangqiu First People’s Hospital from Jun. 2019 to Dec. 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.All of them were treated with ultrasount-guided MWA,including 38 males and 59 females,aged (48.24±7.86) years. The patients were followed up until Oct. 2024, and the prognosis of the patients was statistically analyzed.According to whether there was new lymph node metastasis or recurrence,the patients were divided into good prognosis group and poor prognosis group.Statistical software SPSS26.0 was used to process the baseline data of the two groups,and the factors affecting the prognosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma were analyzed.Results:Among 97 patients,3 cases were lost to follow-up,73 cases were in good prognosis group and 21 cases were in poor prognosis group.The incidence of multiple lesions,diameter 5-10 mm,close envelope and BRAFV600E mutations in poor prognosis group were 52.38%, 76.19%, 61.90% and 57.14%, respectively, which were higher than 27.40%, 49.32%, 20.55% and 31.51% in good prognosis group ( P<0.05) .TSH level of (2.94±0.61) mlU/L was higher than that of good prognosis group (2.67±0.52) mlU/L ( P<0.05) .Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that multiple lesions ( OR=2.915,95%CI:1.073-7.916) ,diameter 5-10mm ( OR=3.289,95% CI:1.090-9.920) , close to the envelope ( OR=6.283,95% CI:2.203-17.917) and BRAFV600E mutations ( OR=2.899,95% CI:1.071-7.843) were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in ultrasound-guided MWA treatment of isthmic papillary carcinoma ( P<0.05) .The ROC curve showed that the AUC value of the four combinations was 0.895,which was significantly higher than the number of lesions (0.625) , tumor size (0.634) , close envelope (0.707) and BRAFV600E mutation (0.628) . Conclusion:Multiple lesions,5-10mm in diameter,close envelope and BRAFV600E mutation are the factors affecting the poor prognosis of patients with isthmic papillary carcinoma treated with ultrasound-guided MWA,and the combination of the four factors is more effective in predicting the prognosis of patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma.
