Objective: To explore the effect of a computer assisted audiovisual combined intervention model on the core symptoms of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), in order to provide references for enriching intervention and treatment methods for ASD children. Methods: From December 2023 to March 2024, 36 ASD children aged 4-8 years were recruited from Tianjin Disabled Persons Rehabilitation Center and Xinxinyu Children s Rehabilitation Center, and were divided into a training group (22 cases) and a control group (14 cases). The training group completed a 12 week audiovisual training course (visual sessions:twice a week, for 50-60 minutes each session; auditory sessions:three times a week, for 15 minutes each time), while the control group received only conventional treatment interventions. Before and after the intervention, the core symptoms of ASD children were assessed using the Short Sensory Profile (SSP), Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS), and Repetitive Behavior Questionnaire-2 ( RBQ- 2). Eye tracking experiments were used to test preferences for social attention. Results: Before the intervention, there were no statistically significant differences in the total scores and factor scores of the SSP and RBQ-2 scales between the two groups ( t =-1.63, 0.38, both P >0.05). The SRS total score, social communication, and restricted interests and repetitive behavior factor scores of the training group (90.68±25.83, 33.36±11.80, 15.64±7.00) were significantly higher than those of the control group (72.29±19.84, 24.93±7.85, 10.21±5.67) ( t =2.27, 2.36, 2.43, all P <0.05). Children in the training group with higher social communication factor scores before the intervention scored lower than the control group at the post intervention test (simple slope=-14.17, t =-2.48, P = 0.02), while there was no statistically significant difference in post intervention scores between children with lower social communication factor scores before the intervention and the control group (simple slope=2.31, t =0.57, P >0.05). Eye tracking experiments showed that the total fixation time on geometric images decreased significantly more in the training group [ -4.56 (-11.42, 1.21)] compared to the control group [6.55 (-0.32, 16.53)] after the intervention ( Z=2.48, P <0.05). Conclusions The computer assisted audiovisual intervention model can effectively improve the core symptoms of ASD children with poorer social communication levels. The promotion of the intervention model needs to consider individual differences in ASD.

Heart and spleen deficiency syndrome is the most common syndrome type in patients with insomnia. Based on the theory of disease syndrome-combined animal model， this paper used multiple databases to search for the keywords "heart and spleen deficiency"， "insomnia"， "sleepless"， "disease syndrome-combined animal model"， "model evaluation"， etc. It selected the literature related to the animal model of insomnia with heart and spleen deficiency in the past 20 years to evaluate from the aspects of model establishment， modeling factors， syndrome model， disease model， macro characterization & macro characterization evaluation scale， micro indicators， etc. It is found that the existing animal model of insomnia with heart and spleen deficiency is not completely constructed by the method of disease syndrome combination of disease modeling factors and syndrome modeling factors. In the model using this method， the single establishment factor of heart and spleen deficiency does not conform to the clinical reality of disease， and the selection of the factors for the insomnia model is not closely related to or even separated from the syndrome performance. There is a problem of insufficient quantification of macro representation when the macro representation of the model replaces the symptoms related to heart and spleen deficiency syndrome and insomnia in an equivalent manner for macro representation evaluation， which can be improved according to the quantitative ideas and examples of the existing macro representation and macro representation evaluation scale. There are few specific indicators of heart and spleen deficiency syndrome in micro indicators. The micro research of heart and spleen deficiency syndrome and the essence of other traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndromes can be carried out by metabonomics and other technologies combined with the theory of corresponding prescription and syndrome， along the specific related ideas of "prescription and syndrome， treatment principle and selection of prescription， treatment principle and selection of acupoints， as well as therapeutic mechanism and syndrome essence". The future users and researchers of animal models of insomnia with heart and spleen deficiency can get improved methods and ideas through the shortcomings of animal models of heart and spleen deficiency listed in this paper and construct animal models of insomnia with heart and spleen deficiency that are more suitable for clinical practice， so as to establish a more perfect modeling method and evaluation system of disease syndrome-combined animal model.

Objective To establish a prediction model for the occurrence of non-occupational carbon monoxide poisoning events in Beijing, and to provide scientific basis and theoretical support for the prevention and warning of poisoning events. Methods Based on the monitoring data of non-occupational carbon monoxide poisoning events in Beijing from 2016 to 2024, the seasonal ARIMA model and seasonal index model were established to analyze the data and predict the occurrence of events. Results Between 2016 and 2024, a total of 436 cases of non-occupational carbon monoxide poisoning were reported in Beijing, showing a downward trend. The established SARIMA model and seasonal index model were SARIMA (1,0,0) (1,1,0) 12, Yt = (-0.0339t+5.8863) × St, and the average relative errors were 65.42% and 29.19%, respectively. In terms of months, the SARIMA model had better predictive performance during April and summer (June to August), while the seasonal index model was superior in other months. By combining the two models, the predicted number of events in 2025 was as follows: 3, 2, 2, 3, 1, 5, 2, 7, 1, 1, 1, and 2. Conclusion The seasonal index model has the best prediction effect on the non-occupational carbon monoxide poisoning events in Beijing throughout the year, and the number of summer events predicted by SARIMA model is closer to the actual values. The two models can be combined to predict the trend of non-occupational carbon monoxide poisoning, which provides a scientific basis for the prevention and control of carbon monoxide poisoning in the future.

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in China, with its morbidity and mortality continue to rise. Ferroptosis, a unique form of iron-dependent cell death, plays a major role in many heart diseases. The classical mechanisms of ferroptosis include iron metabolism disorder, oxidative antioxidant imbalance and lipid peroxidation. Recent studies have found many additional mechanisms of ferroptosis, such as coenzyme Q10, ferritinophagy, lipid autophagy, mitochondrial metabolism disorder, and the regulation by nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2). This article reviews recent advances in understanding the mechanisms of ferroptosis and its role in heart failure, myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, diabetic cardiomyopathy, myocardial toxicity of doxorubicin, septic cardiomyopathy, and arrhythmia. Furthermore, we discuss the potential of ferroptosis inhibitors/inducers as therapeutic targets for heart diseases, suggesting that ferroptosis may be an important intervention target of heart diseases.

Objective To explore the correlation between visceral fat area(VFA)and triglyceride-glucose(TyG)index in people with normal body mass index(BMI)based on quantitative CT(QCT).Methods Totally 1 358 healthy adults with normal BMI who underwent QCT body composition measurement were retrospectively enrolled and divided into normal visceral fat group(normal group,VFA＜100 cm2,n=509),mild visceral fat accumulation group(mild group,100 cmn2≤VFA＜150 cm2,n=431)and severe visceral fat accumulation group(severe group,VFA≥150 cm2,n=418)according to VFA measured with QCT.Pearson and Spearman correlation analysis were performed to observe correlations of TyG index with general data and body composition in 20-40,41-60,61-90 years old men and women with normal BMI,respectively.Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to screen the independent impact factors of TyG index in normal BMI people.Results Low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),total cholesterol(TC),glutamic-pyruvic transaminase(GPT),VFA and subcutaneous fat area(SFA)of men with normal BMI at different age stages were weakly-lowly positively correlated with TyG index(r=0.143-0.459,all P＜0.05),while high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)were weakly-lowly negatively correlated with TyG index(r=-0.410--0.222,all P＜0.05).LDL-C,VFA and SFA of women with normal BMI at different age stages were weakly-lowly positively correlated with TyG index(r=0.206-0.495,all P＜0.05).GPT,TC,VFA and liver fat content(LFC)were all independent risk factors,while HDL-C was independent protective factor for TyG index in people with normal BMI(all P＜0.05).Conclusion VFA was positively correlated with TyG index in people with normal BMI.Measurement of abdominal body composition based on QCT combined with lipid indexes had certain potential for predicting insulin resistance and relative metabolic diseases in abdominal obese people.

Objective:Based on HyperArc stereotactic radiotherapy(SRT)technique,six-dimensional free bed combined with double mask fixation was used to treat intracranial tumors,and the positioning errors of within batch and between batches were analyzed,so as to provide basis for the accuracy of clinical treatment of this technique.Methods:A total of 13 patients with intracranial tumors who admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital from March to July 2023 were retrospectively selected,and they were treated by using HyperArc SRT technique.The validation images of cone-beam computed tomography(CBCT)of within batch and between batches during treatment were analyzed.The positioning errors of three translational direction[left and right(x),head and foot(y)and abdominal and dorsal(z)]and rotational direction were analyzed.The each positioning error was set as group A,and the remaining error after the positioning error was corrected through six-dimensional free bed was set as group B,and the error post treatment was set as group C.The difference between group B and group C was defined as the change of within batch.According to the margin formula,the positioning error of within batch was used to calculate the required range of margin.Results:Under the mode of six-dimensional free bed correction combined with double mask fixation,a total of 59 times of HyperArc SRT on head were performed.In the comparison of the average errors on the six-dimensional direction among groups A,B and C,the errors of group A on x direction and y direction were respectively(0.119±0.039)and(-0.133±0.047)cm,and the differences of them between group A and group B[(0.004±0.002)and(0.018±0.005)cm]were significant(t=2.890,-3.224,P<0.05).There were no significant differences on other directions between the two groups(P>0.05).The error of RX direction of group B was(0.033±0.021)°,and the difference of that between group B and group C[(0.122±0.045)°]was significant(t=-2.306,P<0.05),while there were no significant differences on other directions(P>0.05).In the margin of the design of the plan of intracranial tumors,the x,y and z directions were respectively 0.6,0.9 and 0.4 mm.Conclusion:In the radiotherapy of using HyperArc SRT technique for intracranial tumors,the use of six-dimensional free bed combined with double mask treatment can significantly shorten the margin,and ensure accurate irradiation for gross tumor volume(GTV)and simultaneously reduce the irradiation volume and dose of surrounding normal tissue.

Objective To investigate the impact of lower inspiratory peak flow rates on airway peak pressure when using a ventilator to maintain respiratory function during the advanced life support phase of in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR).Methods A prospective study was conducted,30 patients who underwent CPR for more than 20 minutes admitted to Lishui Municipal Central Hospital between September 2021 and December 2023 were enrolled as the study subjects.Volume controlled ventilation(VCV)with a descending flow waveform was used,while other preset parameters remained unchanged.Airway peak pressure was measured at different peak flow rates(55,50,45,and 40 L/min).The influence of varying flow rates on peak pressure was analyzed.Results During CPR,patients were in a continuous state of chest compressions.When the ventilator parameters were set conventionally,alarms for high airway pressure,low tidal volume(VT),and high respiratory rate often occurred,which affected the effectiveness of ventilatory support.There was a significant variation in airway peak pressure among different patients.As the peak flow rate increased from 40 L/min to 55 L/min,the airway peak pressure gradually increased.During the process of reducing the peak flow rate,the pulse oxygen saturation(SpO2)of all patients remained stable without significant changes.The 40 L/min group had significantly lower peak pressures than the 50 and 55 L/min groups,whereas the 55 L/min group had significantly higher pressures than all others[cmH2O(1 cmH2O≈0.098 kPa):41.20±9.06 vs.47.90±9.04 and 53.70±7.96,all P<0.05].When comparing patients with peak flow rates of 40 L/min and 50 L/min,as well as 45 L/min and 55 L/min,the average airway peak pressure increased significantly with each 10 L/min increment in inspiratory peak flow rate.However,the SpO2 remained essentially unchanged or slightly increased as the peak flow rate decreased.There were no statistically significant differences in SpO2 among patients at different peak flow rate levels.When the peak flow rate was set at 55,50,45,and 40 L/min,the proportions of patients with airway peak pressure>40 cmH2O were 100.0%,83.3%,63.3%,and 53.3%,respectively.Among them,the proportions of patients with airway peak pressure>50 cmH2O were 66.7%,40.0%,16.6%,and 16.6%,respectively.As the peak flow rate decreased,the proportion of patients with airway peak pressure>40 cmH2O gradually decreased.If the peak flow rate was set at 45 L/min or lower,the number of patients with airway peak pressure>50 cmH2O during CPR was less than 50.0%of the total number of cases.Conclusions During mechanical ventilation in CPR,using volume-controlled ventilation(VCV)mode with a decelerating waveform,improper peak flow rate settings can easily trigger high airway pressure alarms and result in low tidal volume(VT),leading to poor synchrony between the ventilator and the patient.Compared to peak flow rates of 55 L/min and above,selecting an inspiratory peak flow rate of 40 L/min and setting the high-pressure alarm at 50 cmH2O is suitable for the mechanical ventilation needs of most patients and does not affect oxygenation levels.This is a more appropriate choice.

Objective:To identify the prognostic value of the Revised 15-item Myelodysplastic Syndrome-specific frailty scale (FS-15) in Chinese patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) .Methods:This retrospective study analyzed 812 patients with newly diagnosed MDS admitted to the Institute of Hematology and Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, and Peking Union Medical College from August 2016 to June 2023. Patients were assessed using the FS-15 and subsequently categorized into frail and non-frail groups. Clinical and laboratory characteristics, as well as overall survival (OS), were compared between these groups.Results:① The median patient age was 55 years ( IQR 45–64), with a median follow-up of 22.5 months (95% CI: 20.2–24.9) and a median OS of 43.3 months (95% CI: 36.8–49.8). The median FS-15 score was 0.42, with a cutoff value of 0.44. Male patients demonstrated higher median FS-15 scores than female patients (0.42 vs 0.38, P=0.006). In both the Revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R; P=0.001) and Molecular International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-M; P=0.014) stratifications, FS-15 scores were significantly higher in the very high-risk group compared with the very low-risk group. ② The median OS was 54.7 months (95% CI: 47.5–NA) and 31.5 months (95% CI: 22.9–41.0) in the nonfrail ( n=452) and frail groups ( n=360), respectively ( P<0.001). The 3-year OS rates were (63.2 ± 3.2) % and (46.4 ± 3.6) % for the non-frail and frail groups, with 5-year OS rates of (49.9 ± 4.7) % and (32.0 ± 4.3) %, respectively ( P<0.001). ③Subgroup analysis revealed that nonfrail patients demonstrated significantly higher 3-year OS rates than frail patients in both the IPSS-M low-risk and very high-risk groups (all P<0.05). Similarly, nonfrail patients demonstrated superior 3-year OS rates compared with frail patients in the IPSS-R very low-risk, low-risk, and high-risk groups (all P<0.05). ④Among patients receiving hypomethylating agent therapy, the overall response rate was significantly higher in the non-frail group than in the frail group (86.7% vs 64.6%, P=0.007). Moreover, the frail group experienced higher rates of treatment-related adverse events, including febrile neutropenia (67.1% vs 47.4%, P=0.016) and liver function abnormalities (30.0% vs 14.5%, P=0.023), compared with the non-frail group. Conclusion:The FS-15 frailty score is a feasible and effective tool for assessing frailty in patients newly diagnosed with MDS in China and serves as a valuable prognostic indicator.
