To analyze the differences in cerebral blood flow (CBF) characteristics among children with different subtypes of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and their relationship with executive function using arterial spin labeling (ASL) technology. A case-control study was conducted, including children diagnosed with ADHD at the outpatient clinic of Peking University Sixth Hospital from July 2015 to December 2019 as the ADHD group, and typically developing schoolchildren from January to December 2021 as the healthy control group. Both groups underwent pseudo-continuous ASL (pCASL) scanning to measure CBF, and executive function was assessed using the parent version of the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF). Differences in CBF between ADHD children and healthy controls were compared. For brain regions showing significant group differences, CBF values were extracted and linear regression models were constructed with BRIEF scores to further explore the relationship between regional CBF and executive function. A total of 134 boys with ADHD were included[83 with ADHD predominantly inattentive subtype (ADHD-I) and 51 with ADHD combined subtype (ADHD-C)], along with 25 healthy control boys. Intergroup comparisons revealed that the CBF in the left middle temporal gyrus was significantly lower in ADHD-C children compared to both ADHD-I children ( The CBF in the left middle temporal gyrus of boys with ADHD-C is significantly lower than that of boys with ADHD-I and healthy controls. This reduced regional CBF may be associated with executive function deficits in organization and planning abilities in ADHD-C, providing new insights into the neurobiological mechanisms underlying ADHD subtypes.

Tinosporae Radix, as a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, is the dried root tuber of Tinospora sagittata or T. capillipes. It was first recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica Supplement in the Qing Dynasty and included in the previous edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Tinosporae Radix is excavated in autumn and winter and used after removing fibrous roots, washing, and drying. It is indicated for sore throat, carbuncle boils poison, waist and abdominal pain, and various heat syndromes and is commonly used to treat chronic inflammation. Its efficacy is significantly known as “broad-spectrum antibiotics in Zhuang medicine”. Tinosporae Radix is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb often taken by Zhuang and Yao nationalities in Guangxi province and has a wide range of application and development values and research significance. Modern studies have shown that Tinosporae Radix contains diterpenoids, alkaloids, sterols, anthraquinones, glycosides, fatty acids, volatile oils, and other compounds, which have many pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammatory and analgesic, antibacterial and antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-diabetic, and anti-tumor and anti-cancer effects, and it has achieved good efficacy in inhibiting inflammation and treating sore throat and other diseases. In recent years, there have been many research reports on the status, chemical constituents, pharmacological action, clinical application, and quality evaluation of Tinosporae Radix resources, but there is no systematic review and introduction at present. By consulting the literature and combining it with modern research, this paper systematically summarizes and collates Tinosporae Radix resources to provide guidance for the comprehensive development and utilization of Tinosporae Radix resources and subsequent in-depth study.

Objective:
Subthreshold attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been suggested to be a “morbid condition” which also needs medical attention.
Methods:
The present study recruited 89 children with subthreshold ADHD (sADHD), 115 children with diagnosed ADHD (cADHD), and 79 healthy controls (HC) to explore the clinical manifestation, executive functions (EFs) of sADHD, and the caregiver strain. The clinical manifestation was evaluated through clinical interviews and parent-reports. Executive functions were assessed both experimentally and ecologically. Caregiver strain was measured by a parent-reported questionnaire.
Results:
For the clinical manifestation, both sADHD and cADHD indicated impairments when compared with HC. The comorbidities and the scaled symptoms indicated that the externalizing behaviors were relatively less serious in sADHD than cADHD, whereas the internalizing behaviors between two groups were comparable. For ecological EFs, sADHD scored between cADHD and HC in inhibition and working memory. For experimental EFs, sADHD was comparable to cADHD in inhibition, shifting, and was worse than cADHD in verbal working memory. For the caregiver strain, all scores of sADHD were between that in cADHD and that in HC.
Conclusion
Our present findings supported the suggestion of subthreshold ADHD as “morbid condition,” which should be treated with caution in clinical practice, especially for the internalizing behaviors and some key components of EFs.

Objective:To understand the status quo of male nurses′ resilience, social support and simple coping styles in Heilongjiang Province, and to analysis the mediating effect of resilience between social support and simple coping styles.Methods:The questionnaire star was used to survey 780 nurses from 13 departments including such as intensive care unit, emergency department, psychiatric department, and operating room etc in Harbin 9 hospitals from November to December 2018 by convenience sampling. The self-made general information questionnaire, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) and Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ) were used to assess the resilience, social support and simple coping style.Results:The average score of resilience of male nurses in Heilongjiang Province was (72.36±16.69) points, the average score of social support was (37.21±8.70) points, the average items score of positive coping style was (2.18±0.52) points, negative coping style items score was (1.53±0.76) points. Social support and positive coping styles all showed a significant positive correlation with resilience ( r values were 0.432, 0.747, P<0.01). The results of mediation analysis showed that resilience played a part of mediation between social support and active coping styles. The mediation effect was 21.05%, accounting for 63.21% of the total effect. Conclusion:In order to effectively maintain the mental health of male nurses in Heilongjiang Province and improve their active coping level, it is necessary to ensure that the nurses have a good level of resilience.

Objective:To explore the current status of self-perceived burden among patients with chronic wound and influencing factors and to analyze its influencing factors.Methods:From July 2018 to August 2019, we selected 113 patients with chronic wounds treated in Wound Clinic of the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University as research objects. All patients were investigated with the General Information Scale, Self-perceived Burden Scale (SPBS) , Sense of Coherence-13 (SOC-13) , Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) .Results:A total of 113 questionnaires were distributed in this study, and a total of 102 valid questionnaires were returned. Among patients with chronic wounds, the score of SPBS was (28.37±10.10) at a mild level. The total score and dimensions scores of SPBS of patients with chronic wounds had negative correlations with the total score of SOC-13, the total score and dimension scores of SSRS with statistical differences ( P<0.05) . Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the influencing factors of self-perceived burden were the age, occupation, social support and sense of coherence also with statistical differences ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The self-perceived burden of patients with chronic wound is at a mild level. Clinical medical and nursing staff should carry out targeted nursing measures according to patients' self-perceived burden to reduce the self-perceived burden of patients so as to reducing the impact of psychological factors on wound healing.

Objective:To understand the current status of knowledge, attitudes and practice of clinical nurses on infusion phlebitis in Heilongjiang Province, so as to provide a reference for targeted management, related training and intervention of infusion phlebitis.Methods:From November to December 2019, this study adopted a two-stage sampling method. The first stage was based on the stratified cluster sampling and the stratification was according to the level of hospitals to select 12 hospitals in Heilongjiang Province, including 9 Class Ⅲ hospitals and 3 Class Ⅱ hospitals. In the second stage, convenience sampling was adopted to select clinical nurses from 12 hospitals meeting the inclusion criteria as the research subject. The investigation was carried out with the self-designed Infusion Phlebitis Knowledge, Attitudes and Practice Questionnaire for Clinical Nurses. A total of 843 questionnaires were returned, of which 775 were valid questionnaires, with a valid response rate of 91.9%.Results:Among 775 clinical nurses, the score of knowledge, attitudes and practice of infusion phlebitis was (52.42±11.11) , (32.71±4.86) and (49.33±10.60) respectively. Univariate analysis showed that there were statistical differences in the total scores of knowledge, attitudes and practice of infusion phlebitis among clinical nurses with different genders, ages, working years, education, professional titles and related training experience ( P<0.05) . Multiple linear regression showed that the influencing factors of infusion phlebitis knowledge and practice included the working year, professional title and whether to participate in training; the influencing factors of infusion phlebitis attitudes included the working year, education and whether to participate in training. Conclusions:The level of attitudes in phlebitis among clinical nurses in Heilongjiang Province is relatively good, and the level of knowledge and practice is at an intermediate level. Managers should regularly provide relevant knowledge and skills training for clinical nurses, and pay particular attention to junior nurses and nurses with low professional titles to improve the quality of clinical care.
