Correctly identifying the treatment failure in chronic tic disorders can prevent the continued use of unnecessary treatments and facilitate timely escalation to experimental or even invasive treatment.However, there is still a lack of a standard definition for the treatment failure in chronic tic disorders.Led by Professor Davide Martino from the University of Calgary in Canada, several rounds of web-based Delphi surveys were conducted to formulate expert clinicians′ consensus-based definition for treatment failure in chronic tic disorders.This consensus defines the treatment failure in chronic tic disorders from 4 aspects of behavioral and pharmacological interventions: lack of efficacy, adherence, tolerability and behavioral disorders.In addition, it further defines the failure of behavioral intervention as a whole and pharmacological intervention as a whole.This article interprets the process and key contents of the consensus, and discusses the definition of refractory tic disorders to help clinicians improve their understanding of the treatment failure in chronic tic disorders.

Objective:To explore the influence of interpregnancy interval (IPI) on pregnancy complications in multiparas.Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study involving 7 669 singleton parturients who delivered at ≥28 gestational weeks in the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University between December 2015 and December 2020 and had given birth in the third trimester before. Clinical data were collected, including the baseline characteristics, pregnancy complications, gestational weeks at delivery, and neonatal birth weight. According to the IPI, these women were divided into five groups: <12 months ( n=350), 12-<24 months ( n=945), 24-<60 months ( n=2 544), 60-<120 months ( n=2 478), and ≥120 months ( n=1 352). Based on the recommendation of the World Health Organization, pregnant women with an IPI of 24-<60 months were the control group. A multivariate logistic model was used to adjust for confounders and calculate the risks of pregnancy complications, including gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). The influences of maternal age and previous delivery mode on the associations between IPI and maternal complications were analyzed. Analysis of variance (ANOVA), Chi-square test, and Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel Chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Results:Compared with the control group, the incidence of GDM and HDP increased in the 60-<120 months group ( OR=1.23, 95% CI: 1.01-1.48 and OR=1.47, 95% CI: 1.13-1.92) and ≥120 months group ( OR=1.37, 95% CI:1.07-1.78 and OR=1.92, 95% CI: 1.39-2.64); the risks of uterine rupture/postpartum hemorrhage and placental abruption increased in the <12 months group ( OR=1.54, 95% CI: 1.01-2.34) and 12-<24 months group ( OR=2.38 95% CI: 1.13-5.02), respectively. In the 60-<120 months group, the risk of GDM increased only in non-elderly women (adjusted OR=1.71, 95% CI: 1.36-2.14), so did the risks of GDM and HDP in the ≥120 months group (adjusted OR=3.11, 95% CI: 2.10-4.62 and adjusted OR=1.81, 95% CI: 1.12-2.91). Among women who had undergone a previous cesarean section, the risk of GDM increased in the ≥120 months group (adjusted OR=1.35, 95% CI: 1.00-1.81). In the 60-<120 months group and ≥120 months group, the risk of HDP increased in postpartum women (adjusted OR=1.79, 95% CI: 1.08-2.95 and adjusted OR=3.32, 95% CI: 1.91-5.77). Conclusion:IPI≥60 months is a risk factor for GDM and HDP, and the associations between IPI and maternal complications are influenced by maternal age.

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the main cause of cancer deaths among women worldwide. HER2 positive breast cancer accounts for 15% of all breast cancer. This subtype of breast cancer is highly invasive and has a very poor prognosis. With the development of anti - HER2 targeted therapy, the prognosis of these patients has been improved. However, some patients have poor response to the anti-HER2 therapy. Therefore, it is necessary to select biomarkers that can predict the therapeutic effect for improving the efficacy of these patients. This article describes the research progress of HER2 positive biomarkers for breast cancer, focusing on biomarkers related to the efficacy of targeted therapy, in order to provide some reference for future clinical optimization of targeted therapy.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(5):786-790
Abstract
In recent years, mental health problems such as anxiety and depression among adolescents in China have attracted attention from all walks of life. Given that adolescence is a transitional and critical period for individual development, mental health affect the developmental opportunities. Therefore, in the review, the effects of environment, psychosocial factors and behavioral patterns on depressive symptoms are analyzed by combining with the characteristics of physical and mental development among adolescents. It is found that early adolescence and even childhood should be the key period for the prevention and intervention of depression. In order to formulate effective interventions and prevention strategies, it is proposed that future research should combine real situation in China with active exploration of protective factors and early predictors of depression.

【Objective】 To explore the mutation type, clinical characteristics, molecular genetics and the two-hit type of a patient with familial Von Hippel Lindau (VHL) syndrome. 【Methods】 The data of the patient were collected. DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood and renal cell carcinoma sample. The VHL gene germline mutation site was detected with high throughput sequencing next generation sequencing (NGS). The two-hit site was identified with UCSCXena database, methylation-specific PCR (MSP) and microsatellite stability detection. 【Results】 The mutation site of the embryo line was located in c.500G>A R167Q mutation. The patient had single nucleotide polymorphism, but no clear loss of heterozygosity, methylation or system mutation. 【Conclusion】 The germline mutation in exon 3 is the basis for the clinical features of this familial renal cell carcinoma proband. The identification of the two-hit site is key to the occurrence of the disease, which is significant for the diagnosis and treatment. The use of the databases can guide the screening of mutations and methylation sites in familial renal cell carcinoma.

Objective:To understand the incubation periods of infections of Omicron variants BA.2 and BF.7 in two COVID-19 epidemics and related factors in Beijing and provide basic parameters for the establishment of 2019-nCoV dynamic transmission model.Methods:The COVID-19 cases with specific exposure time and onset time in the Omicron variant BA.2 infection epidemic in April 2022 and in the Omicron variant BF.7 infection epidemic in October 2022 in Beijing were included in the analysis. The rank-sum test was conducted to estimate the differences in the incubation period between two types of infections. The incubation period distribution of the Omicron variant infection was fitted by using Weibull, Gamma and lognormal distributions. Multivariate analysis of variance was conducted to assess the effects of age, sex, variant type and vaccination status on the incubation periods.Results:A total of 64 cases of variant BA.2 infection and 58 cases of variant BF.7 infection were included. The M( Q1,Q3) of the incubation period was 3.00 (3.00, 4.00) days for BA.2 infection and 3.00 (2.00, 3.25) days for BF.7 infection. The lognormal distribution was the best fit. Multivariate analysis of variance showed that there were some differences in the incubation periods between two types of infections of Omicron variants, and the incubation period of variant BF.7 infection was shorter than that of variant BA.2 infection. Conclusion:Omicron variant BF.7 infection had shorter incubation period compared with Omicron variant BA.2 infection.

Objective:
To explore the correlation between physical activity and nutritional status of Chinese children and adolescents, and to provide references for the healthy development of Chinese adolescents.
Methods:
According to the six administrative regions of China (East China, Northwest China, North China, Central China, Southwest China and South China), 4 269 children and adolescents aged 7 to 18 were selected by stratified random sampling method. "Physical Activity Level Evaluation Questionnaire" was used to conduct a physical activity survey. Chi square test and non parametric test were used to analyze the physical activity status.
Results:
The overall detection rate of MVPA insufficiency in children and adolescents with normal BMI were 53.7%, 50.2%, 56.3%, and 52.5% in the wasting group, overweight and obese group, respectively. There was no significant difference in the detection rate of MVPA insufficiency between different nutritional status( χ 2=2.55, P >0.05); but in the 7-9 years old age group, the difference in the detection rate of MVPA insufficiency between different nutritional status were statistically significant( χ 2= 10.35, 8.86, 15.88, P <0.05). There were no significant differences in physical activity intensity and item types under different nutritional status ( P >0.05).
Conclusion
There are age differences in the correlation between physical activity and nutritional status of children and adolescents in my country.Therefore, the differences between different groups should be fully considered while formulating intervention policies.

Objective:
To understand the correlation between physical activity (PA) and socioeconomic status (SES) among Chinese children and adolescents, and to provide theoretical basis for physical activity promotion for Chinese children and adolescents.
Methods:
By using stratified random cluster sampling, a total of 4 269 children and adolescents aged 7 to 18 were selected from six cities in China from September to December 2018. Physical Activity Level Evaluation Questionnaire of Chinese Children and Adolescents Aged 7 to 18 was used to investigate PA and SES, and the height and weight were measured.
Methods:
In terms of different intensity of PA, the time spent on light intensity physical activity(LPA), moderate intensity physical activity(MPA), moderate to vigorous physical activity(MVPA)and total physical activity(TPA) in low SES group was 28.5(6.9,57.1) min/d, 46.2 (25.7,79.2) min/d, 61.4(34.3,101.9) min/d and 102.9(65.0,145.8)min/d respectively, which was higher than that in middle SES groups [ 21.4 (4.3,50.7), 37.1(18.6,65.7), 50.3(27.1,86.8), 85.7(49.3,127.1) min/d] and high SES groups [24.3( 5.0 ,54.3), 40.0(21.4,69.1), 54.3(32.9,91.4), 89.6(55.7,132.9) min/d]( P <0.01). In terms of different types of PA, the traffic PA [40.0(15.0,68.6) min/d] and entertainment PA[4.3(0,17.1)min/d] accounted the highest proportion in low SES group,while sports PA [36.4(20.7,60.7) min/d] accounted the highest proportion in high SES group( P <0.01).The compliance rates of MVPA in low, middle and high SES groups were 51.1%, 42.5% and 45.2%, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ 2= 22.02 , P <0.05). After controlling for confounding factors, the detection rate of MVPA in the low SES group was 1.24 times higher than that in the high SES group ( P <0.01).
Conclusion
The MVPA and TPA time of children and adolescents with middle SES group were the lowest. Physical activities spent on traffic and entertainment account highest in low SES group, while physical activities spent on sports account highest in high SES group.
