1.Correlation between parental behaviors and autistic traits in children with autism spectrum disorder
Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(6):818-821
Objective:
To understand the correlation between autistic traits in children with autism spectrum disorder(ASD) and their parental behaviors, so as to provide evidence for improving social behavior in children with ASD.
Methods:
A total of 62 children aged 4-7 years diagnosed with ASD at Guangdong Provincial Work Injury Rehabilitation Hospital and Guangzhou Yuexiu District Children s Hospital from October 2021 to May 2025 were selected as the ASD group. A random number table method was used to select 62 healthy children of the same age from 3 ordinary kindergartens in Guangzhou as the control (typically developing,TD) group. The Parental Behavior Inventory and Social Responsiveness Scale were used to evaluate parental behaviors and autistic traits in both groups. The t-test and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the relationship between autistic traits in children with ASD and parental behaviors.
Results:
Compared with the TD group, the ASD group had significantly higher scores in social awareness, social cognition, social communication, social motivation, autistic behavior patterns, and the total score of social responsiveness, with statistically significant differences ( t =35.83, 46.17, 64.36, 41.45, 49.46,101.15, all P <0.01). The score of parental support/participation in the ASD group (24.61±4.30) was lower than that in the TD group (31.27±4.58), while the score of parental hostility/coercion in the ASD group (25.51±2.72) was higher than that in the TD group (12.75±2.72), with statistically significant differences ( t = -8.34, 26.14, both P <0.01). The total score of the Social Responsiveness Scale was negatively correlated with the dimension score of parental support/participation behaviors, and positively correlated with the dimension score of parental hostility/coercion behaviors ( r =-0.60, 0.91,both P <0.05). After adjusting for covariates such as children s age, gender, and primary caregiver, ASD children with exclusive breastfeeding ( β =-8.79) and parental support/participation behaviors ( β = -0.79 ) had a lower risk of autistic traits, while children with parental hostility/coercion behaviors ( β =4.62) had a higher risk of autistic traits (all P <0.05).
Conclusion
Autistic traits in children with ASD may be related to their parental behaviors and early feeding mode.

Objective:To explore the association of blood and urinary cadmium levels with lipid profile levels and dyslipidemia in Chinese adults aged 18 to 79 years.Methods:Based on the China National Human Biomonitoring (CNHBM) program, a cross-sectional survey was conducted from 2017 to 2018 using a multi-stage stratified random sampling method, including a total of 10 713 adults aged 18 to 79 years. Data was obtained through questionnaires, physical examinations, biological sample collection, and laboratory testing. Multiple linear mixed effect model (MLMM) and generalized linear mixed effect model (GLMM) were used to analyze the association of blood and creatinine-corrected urinary cadmium levels with lipid profile levels as well as dyslipidemia among adults.Results:The age of 10 713 participants was (47.23±0.24) years, with 5 372 males accounting for 61.3% of the national population. The weighted mean±standard error (SE) of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was (5.21±0.03), (1.86±0.03), (2.96±0.03), and (1.43±0.01) mmol/L, respectively. The prevalence rate of hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, mixed hyperlipidemia, low HDL-C, and high LDL-C was 16.0%, 21.6%, 6.6%, 13.5%, and 10.0%, respectively. MLMM showed that, after adjusting for relevant confounders, log-transformed blood cadmium levels were positively associated with increased levels of TC, TG and LDL-C ( P<0.05). When blood cadmium levels were categorized into quartiles, compared to the lowest exposure group ( Q1), participants in the highest blood cadmium exposure group ( Q4) had increases of 0.19 (95% CI: 0.06, 0.32) mmol/L in TC and 0.25 (95% CI: 0.08, 0.43) mmol/L in TG. GLMM indicated that, after adjusting for confounders, higher blood cadmium exposure levels were associated with increased risks of hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, mixed hyperlipidemia, and high LDL-C ( P<0.05). Further analysis by quartiles showed that, compared to the blood cadmium Q1 exposure group, the OR value (95% CI) for the Q4 group was 1.53 (1.12, 2.08) for hypercholesterolemia, 1.54 (1.09, 2.17) for hypertriglyceridemia, 2.24 (1.47, 3.40) for mixed hyperlipidemia, and 1.49 (1.07, 2.09) for high LDL-C. Conclusion:The cadmium internal exposure levels are associated with blood lipid profile levels as well as the incidence of dyslipidemia in Chinese adults aged 18 to 79.

Bilateral tubal pregnancy is a rare ectopic pregnancy that occurs in both fallopian tubes. In order to explore the clinical diagnosis and treatment methods, pathological analysis, and treatment outcomes of the disease, we retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 9 cases of bilateral tubal pregnancy admitted to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University from January 2003 to December 2023. All cases were confirmed as bilateral tubal pregnancy by preoperative ultrasound, and all with a history of embryo transfer, which pregnancy sites distributed in the ampulla and interstitial regions of the fallopian tubes. The treatment method was bilateral salpingectomy. After treatment, there were no cases of secondary surgery, and one case successfully gave birth. In summary, as a rare and atypical type of ectopic pregnancy, bilateral tubal pregnancy should be detected and diagnosed early. Personalized treatment plans should be developed based on the patient's condition and needs. After treatment, changes in blood β-human chorionic gonadotropin should be monitored strictly, and auxiliary examination methods such as Doppler ultrasound should be used to alert to the occurrence of persistent ectopic pregnancy and even trophoblastic diseases

With the rising prevalence of chronic diseases and an aging population,China's traditional segmented health-care delivery model is increasingly inadequate for meeting the growing demand for long-term,systematic health management.In response,the"Physician-Pharmacist Co-management"model has emerged,aiming to enhance the quality and continuity of care through close collaboration between physicians and pharmacists.This paper starts from the concept and origin of"Physician-Phar-macist Co-management"model,focusing on its China-specific advantages shaped by national healthcare policies and clinical real-ities.Unlike the internationally recognized Collaborative Drug Therapy Management(CDTM)model,the Chinese approach re-flects local healthcare structures and needs.Using obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)as a case study,we examine the mod-el's application and value in managing chronic respiratory diseases.Data indicate that,after the implementation of"physician-pharmacist co-management"model in COPD patients,the CAT score decreased by approximately 24%,the annual rate of acute exacerbation-related hospitalizations declined by about 72%,and the proportion of patients with regular pulmonary rehabilitation exercise habits increased by roughly 3.3-fold.Additionally,the percentage of patients without adverse reactions rose from 47.37%to 64.41%,and the vaccination rate increased by about 2.7-fold.These findings demonstrate the model's significant advantages in improving clinical outcomes,enhancing patient adherence,and reducing healthcare costs.Despite benefits,howev-er,the"Physician-Pharmacist Co-management"model in China faces several challenges,including limited public awareness,gaps in pharmacist training,and insufficient policy support.To address these challenges,this study recommends strengthening public education,establishing comprehensive evaluation systems for pharmaceutical professionals,and improving incentive mech-anisms.Overall,the findings suggest that the"Physician-Pharmacist Co-management"model holds considerable promise for im-proving the quality of chronic disease management,enhancing patient adherence,and optimizing healthcare resource utilization in China.

Purpose To evaluate the predictive performance of mean apparent propagator-magnetic resonance imaging(MAP-MRI)combined with habitat analysis for determining O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase(MGMT)promoter methylation status in glioma.Materials and Methods This retrospective study analyzed MRI and clinical data from 55 patients with surgically confirmed glioma at Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from January 2019 to December 2023.All patients underwent structural and diffusion-weighted imaging.Three-dimensional volumes of interest were delineated in the tumor solid region using ImageJ software.The nn-FAE tool was used to segment the tumor solid region into two habitat subregions based on mean diffusivity(MD)maps:high-MD and low-MD habitats.Average diffusion parameter values were extracted from the entire tumor solid region and each habitat subregion.Differences in parameters between methylated and unmethylated groups were compared,and the area under the curve was calculated.Results Among 55 patients,significant differences were observed in all MAP-MRI parameters and MD in the tumor solid region and low-MD habitat,as well as all parameters in the high-MD habitat between methylated and unmethylated groups(t/Z=-3.780-3.153,all P<0.05).The return-to-origin probability(RTOP)in the low-MD habitat demonstrated the highest diagnostic performance,with the area under the curve improving from 0.771 before habitat analysis to 0.827 after habitat analysis.In the high-grade subgroup,significant differences were observed in return-to-axis probability(RTAP)and RTOP in the tumor solid region;RTOP,non-Gaussianity,non-Gaussianity axial,and RTAP in the low-MD habitat;and non-Gaussianity in the high-MD habitat(t/Z=-2.820--1.976,all P<0.05).RTOP in the low-MD habitat again showed optimal diagnostic efficacy(the area under the curve 0.725 before habitat analysis,0.798 after).Multivariate analysis identified RTAP and RTOP in the tumor solid region and low-MD habitat as independent predictors of MGMT methylation.Conclusion MAP-MRI diffusion parameters demonstrate the ability to predict MGMT promoter methylation status in glioma,with superior performance compared with diffusion tensor imaging.Habitat imaging further enhances the predictive efficacy of MAP-MRI parameters for MGMT promoter methylation.
