Objective:To investigate the association between prenatal environmental factors and attention defi-cit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD)and its symptom severity in children.Methods:Based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,Fourth Edition(DSM-Ⅳ)diagnosis criteria,1 156 children with ADHD and 289 normal control children were included in this study.ADHD diagnoses were established using the Clinical Diag-nostic Interview Scale,core symptoms were assessed with the ADHD Rating Scale,and information on prenatal ex-posures were collected via self-developed questionnaires.Results:Maternal stress during pregnancy was associated with increased risk factor of ADHD in children(OR=1.22,P＜0.01).Among children with ADHD,preconception paternal alcohol consumption was positively associated with hyperactivity/impulsivity symptoms(β=0.08,P＜0.05),and maternal smoking during pregnancy was positively associated with total symptoms(β=0.07-0.09,P＜0.05).Conclusion:Maternal stress during pregnancy may increase the risk factor of ADHD in children.Both pre-conception paternal alcohol consumption and maternal smoking during pregnancy may be associated with increased ADHD symptom severity in children.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of endothelial activation and stress index(EASIX)for the prognosis of patients with mantle cell lymphoma(MCL).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted to assess prognosis and compare the clinical features of patients diagnosed with MCL who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2010 to June 2023,had therapeutic indications and received standard treatment.Results:A total of 66 patients were included and divided into high EASIX group and low EASIX group,according to a cutoff value of 0.97 determined by the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that prealbumin＜0.2 g/L,high EASIX,and ECOG PS score ≥2 were independent risk factors influencing overall survival(OS)in MCL patients.The median OS of patients in the high and low EASIX group was 13.0 and 37.5 months,and the median progression-free survival was 8.8 and 26.0 months,respectively.The proportions of patients with ECOG PS score ≥2 and prealbumin＜0.2 g/L at onset significantly increased in the high EASIX group compared to those in the low EASIX group.Conclusion:At the time of initial diagnosis,EASIX can serve as an independent prognostic indicator impacting OS in patients with MCL.Furthermore,patients in the high EASIX group experience a poorer prognosis and shorter survival duration compared with those in the low EASIX group.

AIM To establish an HPLC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous content determination of dehydrodiisoeugenol,eugenol,costiolactone,dehydrocostiolactone,quercetin,isorhamnetin,luteolin,caffeic acid,gallic acid,protocatechuic acid,ellagic acid and kaempferol in Anshen Buxin Liuwei Pills,and to make chemical pattern recognition.METHODS The analysis was performed on a 35 ℃ thermostatic Shim-pack GST-HP C18 column(2.1 mm × 100 mm,3 μm),with the mobile phase comprising of methanol-water(containing 0.1％formic acid)flowing at 0.25 mL/min in a gradient elution manner,and electron spray ionization source was adopted in positive and negative ion scanning with multiple reaction monitoring mode.Subsequently,cluster analysis,principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least square-discriminant analysis were performed.RESULTS Twelve constituents showed good linear relationships within their own ranges(r≥0.999 0),whose average recoveries were 95.38％-105.00％with the RSDs of 1.91％-5.14％.Thirteen batches of samples were clustered into 3 types,ellagic acid,dehydrocodenolactone,dehydrodiisoeugenol,protocatechuic acid,gallic acid,quercetin and kaempferol were taken as potential quality differential markers.CONCLUSION This accurate,sensitive,stable and reproducible method can be used for the quality control and evaluation of Anshen Buxin Liuwei Pills.

Objective:To translate the Short Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SSRQ) into Chinese, and test its reliability and validity in breast cancer patients.Methods:Using the Brislin translation model, cross-cultural adaptation was conducted by combining expert consultation and a pre-survey on SSRQ. From August to December 2023, 324 breast cancer patients from Department of Breast Surgery of Peking University First Hospital were selected by convenience sampling to test the reliability and validity of SSRQ.Results:A total of 324 questionnaires were distributed and 307 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 94.75% (307/324). The final questionnaire consisted of 30 items. The content validity index at the item level ranged from 0.80 to 1.00, and the content validity index at the scale level was 0.97. The predictive validity result showed a good model fit. The Cronbach's α coefficient for the questionnaire was 0.90, the folded reliability coefficient was 0.85, and the retest reliability coefficient was 0.79.Conclusions:SSRQ has good reliability and validity in breast cancer patients and has value for clinical promotion.

By measuring how patients with skeletal muscle injuries move and assisting healthcare professionals in instructing patients to perform specific movements in a gamified manner, serious games can effectively increase exercise adherence and positively improve clinical outcomes for patients, ultimately resulting in reduced health education costs and accessible rehabilitation programs. This paper describes the conceptual framework for the creation of serious games and their content characteristics, reviews the training methods and effects of serious games in the motor function rehabilitation among patients with skeletal muscle injuries, and puts forward the future prospects for the application of serious games in motor function rehabilitation.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the predictive role of the modified Endothelial Activation and Stress Index (mEASIX) in the efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy and cytokine release syndrome (CRS). METHODS: The clinical data of 70 relapsed and refractory (R/R) B-cell tumor patients who were treated with CAR-T therapy from September 1, 2018 to February 28, 2023 in the Department of Hematology, Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University, were retrospectively analyzed. The value of log-2 mEASIX before conditioning (-7 d) was calculated, and the patients were divided into a low-mEASIX group (42 patients) and a high-mEASIX group (28 patients) based on the cut-off value of 5.443 determined by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Eventually, the predictive role of mEASIX before conditioning on the efficacy of CAR-T cell therapy and CRS was analyzed. RESULTS: The high-mEASIX group exhibited significantly worse median overall survival (OS) and median progression-free survival (PFS) in comparison to the low mEASIX group (OS: 3.2 months vs not reached, P < 0.01; PFS: 1.3 months vs 6.0 months, P =0.009). The incidence of grade ≥2 CRS in the high-mEASIX group was substantially higher than that in the low-mEASIX group (57.1% vs 19.0%, P =0.007). The degree of remission after CAR-T therapy (P =0.001), whether CRS occurs or not (P =0.041), the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level before conditioning (P =0.046), and the mEASIX score before conditioning (P =0.047) were independent influencing factors for the OS of patients receiving CAR-T cell therapy. CONCLUSION The mEASIX score before conditioning can predict OS and the incidence of grade ≥2 CRS in patients with relapsed and refractory B-cell tumors who receive CAR-T cell therapy.

Aim To investigate the effect of cordycepin(COR)on gentamicin(GEN)-induced nephrotoxicity and the molecular mechanism of inhibiting oxidative stress and ferroptosis induced by GEN.Methods The oral SD rats were divided into a control group,GEN group,and GEN+COR group.Following the success-ful setting up of the animal model,the serum creatinine(CR)and urea nitrogen(BUN)levels of rats were measured,and renal tissue injury was assessed using HE staining.In addition,the contents of malondialde-hyde and glutathione in kidney tissues of SD rats in each group were detected,and the expressions of fer-roptosis markers GPX4 and SLC7A11 were analyzed by Western blot.Results Compared with the control group,CR and BUN in GEN-stimulated group signifi-cantly increased(P＜0.01),and the level of CR and BUN was effectively reduced after 50 mg·kg-1 COR oral administration.HE results also showed that COR could alleviate the kidney tissue damage caused by GEN.COR could reverse the increase of malondialde-hyde level and the decrease of glutathione level caused by GEN in rat kidney tissue,and COR could restore the decrease of GPX4 and SLC7A11 protein levels induced by GEN.Conclusion COR can reduce GEN-induced kidney injury by inhibiting oxidative stress and ferrop-tosis.
