Autism spectrum disorder(ASD)is a heterogeneous group of neurodevelopmental disorders.The prevalence of ASD increases year by year.Sleep disorder is the common comorbidity of ASD.The pathogenesis is still unknown.The imbalance of excitation / inhibition(E/I)and neuroplasticity changes are the possible pathogenesis of ASD.Early childhood sleep is an important factor affecting E/I balance and neuroplasticity.ASD and sleep disorder may share common pathogenesis.Various genetic variants(such as Shank3,SynGAP,et al)and related chromosomal disease(such as 16p11.2 deletion)and their associated syndromes such as Rett syndrome,Smith-Magenis syndrome,and Angelman syndrome,ect,all manifest both ASD and sleep disorder phenotypes.In addition,melatonin,oxytocin,hypothalamic hormone,serotonin,etc,may participate in the neural pathways of sleep disorder,ASD pathology and neuroplasticity,promoting the incidence of ASD and sleep disorder.Some treatments such as supplementing with melatonin,oxytocin,zinc,iron,and dietary supplements can improve the clinical symptoms of ASD while treating sleep disorder in children with ASD.This article reviews the mechanism of comorbid sleep disorder in children with ASD to improve clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To assess the diagnostic performance of serum anti-toxocara immunoglobulin G (anti-T-IgG) in ocular toxocariasis (OT) patients.Methods:A diagnostic tests. A total of 109 patients (109 eyes) with clinically-suspected OT who treated in Department of Ophthalmology of Xuzhou First People’s Hospital from June 2015 to December 2022 were included. Patients were divided into two groups, 76 with OT and 33 with non-OT, according to the clinical manifestations and Goldmann-Witmer coefficient. Paired serum and intraocular fluid samples from each patient were collected and analyzed for specific anti-T-IgG using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Mann-Whitney test was performed for comparison between groups. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to assess the diagnostic performance of serum anti-T-IgG. Kappa analysis was performed to examine the consistency of serum or intraocular fluid anti-T-IgG positive rate with OT diagnostic result. Spearman’s rank correlation test was performed to assess the association.Results:Compared with the non-OT group, the proportions of children and history of exposure to cats and dogs ( χ2=9.785, 12.026) were significantly higher in OT group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01). The positive rate ( χ2=24.551) and U value ( Z=-4.379) of serum anti-T-IgG in OT group were higher than those in non-OT group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.000 1). The recommended serum anti-T-IgG cut-off value of 11 U had 0.72 sensitivity, 0.79 specificity, 0.89 positive predictive value, 0.55 negative predictive value, and 0.77 area under the ROC with 95% confidence interval ( CI) 0.669-0.860. Correlation analysis showed that serum anti-T-IgG was positively correlated with intraocular fluid anti-T-IgG ( r s=0.520, 95% CI 0.363-0.648, P<0.000 1). The Kappa values of serum and intraocular fluid anti-T-IgG positive rate with OT diagnosis were 0.457 (95% CI 0.292-0.622) and 0.711 (95% CI 0.582-0.840), respectively. The Kappa value of serum anti-T-IgG positive rate with OT diagnosis was lower than that of intraocular fluid. Conclusion:The sensitivity and specificity of serum anti-T-IgG and the consistency between serum anti-T-IgG positive rate and OT diagnosis are low, suggesting that serum anti-T-IgG level cannot be used as a basis for OT diagnosis.

Objective:
First-line bevacizumab plus carboplatin and paclitaxel (CP) is approved for stage III/IV ovarian cancer treatment following initial surgical resection, based on global phase III GOG-0218 and ICON7 trials. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab + CP as first-line ovarian cancer therapy in Chinese patients.
Methods:
Patients with newly diagnosed, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage III/IV epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer post-primary surgery were randomized 1:1 to receive 6 cycles of CP with bevacizumab/ placebo, followed by bevacizumab/placebo maintenance until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Primary endpoint was investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS). Stratification factors were FIGO stage and debulking status (stage III optimally debulked vs stage III suboptimally debulked vs stage IV) and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (0 vs 1 or 2).
Results:
Of randomized patients, 51 received bevacizumab + CP and 49 received placebo + CP. Median PFS was 22.6 months with bevacizumab + CP (95% confidence interval [CI]=18.6, not estimable) and 12.3 months (95% CI=9.5, 15.0) with placebo + CP (stratified hazard ratio=0.30; 95% CI=0.17, 0.53). Treatment-related grade 3/4 adverse events occurred in 46 of 49 (94%) patients receiving bevacizumab + CP, and 34 of 50 (68%) receiving placebo + CP.
Conclusion
Bevacizumab + CP showed clinically meaningful improvement in PFS vs placebo + CP, consistent with GOG-0218 results. Safety data were aligned with the known bevacizumab safety profile. These results support first-line bevacizumab + CP therapy in Chinese patients with ovarian cancer.

Objective To investigate the effect of Shenqi Yizhi Granules on brain structure and function in prodromal Alzheimer disease(pAD) under hypoxic conditions based on MRI. Methods A total of 77 female Han Chinese patients, aged 50‒85 years, who had at least 6 years of education and long-term residence in Qinghai region and met the inclusion criteria for pAD were enrolled as subjects. They were randomly divided into drug group (39 patients receiving Shenqi Yizhi Granules) and control group (38 patients receiving placebo) for 24 weeks of clinical observation. Related data were collected from all subjects, including clinical information, cognitive and neuropsychological assessments, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data, and rs-fMRI data. Results Cognitive and neuropsychological assessments showed that after treatment, the drug group had significant increases in MoCA, AVTL, SDMT, and CFT-copy scores and significant reductions in ADAS-cog and GDS scores(P<0.05), while the control group had a significantly increase in ADAS-cog score (P<0.001); compared with the control group after treatment, the drug group had significantly higher MoCA and AVTL scores (P<0.05) and a significantly lower ADAS-cog score (P<0.01). DTI results showed that the drug group had significant increases in axial diffusivity (AD) values of multiple brain regions after treatment (P<0.05). The results of rs-fMRI showed that after treatment, the drug group had significant increases in the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) in the right temporal middle gyrus, the triangular part of the inferior frontal gyrus, and the medial cingulate gyrus and paracingulate gyrus and significant reductions in ALFF in the left cerebellar hemisphere Crus1 lobule, superior occipital gyrus, and supramarginal gyrus, and compared with the control group, the drug group had a significant increase in ALFF in the right dorsolateral superior frontal gyrus (P<0.05). After treatment, the drug group had significant increases in the regional homogeneity (ReHo) values of the left triangular part of the inferior frontal gyrus and the inferior occipital gyrus and a significant reduction in the ReHo value of the left cerebellar hemisphere Crus1 lobule (P<0.05), and compared with the control group, the drug group had a significant increase in the ReHo value of the left inferior parietal gyrus(P<0.05). Conclusion Shenqi Yizhi Granules can effectively improve overall cognition and the function of multiple cognitive domains in pAD patients living in plateau regions by modulating the microstructure of white matter and spontaneous neuronal activity in cognitive-related brain regions.
