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.

OBJECTIVES:
To investigate genotype-phenotype characteristics and long-term prognosis of neonatal carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1) deficiency among children through newborn screening in Zhejiang province.
METHODS:
The clinical and follow-up data of children with CPS1 deficiency detected through neonatal screening and confirmed by tandem mass spectrometry and genetic testing in Zhejiang Province Newborn Disease Screening Center from September 2013 to August 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.
RESULTS:
A total of 4 056 755 newborns were screened and 6 cases of CPS1 deficiency were diagnosed through phenotypic and genetic testing. Ten different variations of CPS1 genewere identified in genetic testing, including 2 known pathogenic variations (c.2359C>T and c.1549+1G>T) and 8 unreported variations (c.3405-1G>T, c.2372C>T, c.1436C>T, c.2228T>C, c.2441G>A, c.3031G>A, c.3075T>C and c.390-403del). All patients had decreased citrulline levels (2.72-6.21 μmol/L), and varying degrees of elevated blood ammonia. The patients received restricted natural protein intake (special formula), arginine and supportive therapy after diagnosis, and were followed-up for a period ranging from 9 months to 10 years. Three patients experienced hyperammonemia, and one patient each had attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, transient facial twitching and increased muscle tone. One patient died, while the other five surviving patients had normal scores of the Ages & Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) and Griffiths Development Scales up to the present time; 4 cases had combined height or weight lag and one case was normal in height and weight.
CONCLUSIONS
Low citrulline levels and hyperammonemia are common in CPS1 deficiency patients in Zhejiang. Most gene variants identified were specific to individual families, and no hotspot mutations were found. Early diagnosis through newborn screening and following standardized treatment can significantly improve the prognosis of the patients.

Objective The optimal treatment for chronic type B dissection remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to report early and mid-term results of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) of chronic type B aortic dissection. Methods Methods From June 2001 to September 2007, 84 patients with chronic type B aortic dissection received TEVAR. The time between onset of dissection and TEVAR was (13.9 ± 22.0) months (ranged 1 - 120 months). All patients were followed for 6 - 86 months [mean (33.2 ± 19.2) months]. Results The entry tear was completely sealed in 77 cases ( 91.7% ) during TEVAR. The incidence of incomplete seal was 8.3%. One-month mortality was 1. 2%. One patient had retrograde type A dissection 1 month after operation. Four patients received a second TEVAR during follow-up :3 for endoleaking and 1 for newly formed intima tear. Seven patients (8.3%) died during follow-up: 3 thoracic aorta rupture due to endoleaking, 1 abdominal aorta rupture caused by continuous dilation of the abdominal aorta, unrelated to aortic dissection deaths in 2 and 1 died of unknown cause. The Kaplan Meier actuarial survival curve showed a 7-year survival rate of 84.4%. Conclusion Early and mid-term results showed that TEVAR was effective in treating chronic type B aortic dissection. Endoleak was the main cause of death during follow-up. With increasing of physician's experience and refinement of the stent-graft, results are likely to improve in the future.
