ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the mediating effect of social problems in the effect pathway of emotional dysregulation influencing anxiety/depression emotions in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and to explore the potential moderating effect of family functionality. Methods: A total of 235 children diagnosed with ADHD were enrolled in the study. The paticipants' age ranged from 6 to 12. Emotion Regulation Checklist, Achenbach's Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) Social Problems Subscale, CBCL Anxious/Depressed Subscale, and Family Assessment Device were used to evaluate the emotional regulation, social problems, anxiety/depression emotions, and family functionality of the participants. A moderated mediation model was employed to analyze whether social problems and family functionality mediate and moderate the relationship between emotional regulation and anxiety/depression emotions. Results: Social problems partially mediated the impact of emotional dysregulation on anxiety/depression emotions in ADHD children, with the direct effect being 0.26 (95% confidence interval [CI]: [0.17, 0.36], P<0.001), the indirect effect being 0.13 (95% CI: [0.07, 0.19], P<0.001), and the mediating effect accounting for 33% of the total effect. Family functionality exhibited a positive moderating effect on the relationship between social problems and anxiety/depression emotions. Conclusion: This study contributes to the understanding of complex factors influencing anxiety/depression in children with ADHD, providing reference for the further development of targeted interventions for children with ADHD and the improvement of prognosis.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Aim to evaluate the application of 5 modified frailty index (5-mFI) in predicting postoperative complications in elderly gynecological patients undergoing abdominal surgery. METHODS: A total of 294 elderly gynecological patients who were hospitalized in the affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College and underwent abdominal surgery from November 2019 to May 2022 were collected from the Union Digital Medical Record (UniDMR) Browser of the hospital. According to whether postoperative complications (infection, hypokalemia, hypoproteinemia, poor wound healing and intestinal obstruction) occurred, the patients were divided into complication group (n = 98) and non-complication group (n = 196). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the risk factors of complications in elderly gynecological patients undergoing abdominal surgery. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine the predictive value of the frailty index score in elderly gynecological patients with postoperative complications after abdominal surgery. RESULTS: Postoperative complications occurred in 98 of 294 elderly gynecological patients undergoing abdominal surgery, accounting for 33.3%, 5-mFI (OR1.63, 95%CI 1.07-2.46,P = 0.022), age (OR1.08,95%CI 1.02-1.15, P = 0.009), operation time (OR 1.01, 95%CI 1.00-1.01). P < 0.001) were independent risk factors for postoperative complications in elderly patients undergoing abdominal surgery, and the area under the curve of postoperative complications in elderly gynecological patients was 0.60. (95%CI: 0.53-0.67, P = 0.005) CONCLUSION: Five modified frailty index can effectively predict the occurrence of postoperative complications in elderly gynecological patients.

ABSTRACT

We present the case of an 18-year-old male patient who had narcolepsy type 1 and comorbid schizophrenia. The patient's first symptom was mainly excessive daytime sleepiness, which was followed by psychotic symptoms, including hallucinations, delusions, and abnormal speech and behaviors. After admission to the hospital, the patient underwent a number of ancillary tests. Multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) showed that the mean sleep latency was 2 min and the hypocretin-1 was found to be 90.56 pg/mL. The patient was diagnosed with: 1) schizophrenia; 2) narcolepsy. After receiving antipsychotic drugs and behavioral therapy, the patient's hallucinations and abnormal speech and behaviors disappeared, and delusions and excessive daytime sleepiness decreased significantly. The symptoms and manifestations of narcolepsy type 1 overlaps with those of schizophrenia, which may lead to misdiagnosis and underdiagnosis in clinical practice. The case is presented with a view to providing a reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of narcolepsy type 1 with comorbid schizophrenia.

ABSTRACT

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder, with only a small proportion of people obtaining optimal outcomes. We do not know if children with ASD exhibit abnormalities in the white matter (WM) microstructure or if this pattern would predict ASD prognosis in a longitudinal study. 182 children with ASD were recruited for MRI and clinical assessment; 111 completed a four-year follow-up visit (30 with optimal outcomes, ASD-; 81 with persistent diagnosis, ASD+). Additionally, 72 typically developing controls (TDC) were recruited. The microstructural integrity of WM fiber tracts was revealed using tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) and probabilistic tractography analyses. We examined the neuroimaging abnormality associated with ASD and its relationship to ASD with optimal outcome. The ASD+ and TDC groups were propensity score matched to the ASD- group in terms of age, gender, and IQ. TBSS indicated that children with ASD exhibited abnormalities in the superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF), inferior longitudinal fasciculus (ILF), and extending to the anterior thalamic radiation (ATR) and cingulum; whereas the ASD+ group showed more severe abnormalities than the ASD- group. Probabilistic tractography analysis revealed that ASD+ group exhibited lower Fractional Anisotropy (FA) of the left superior thalamic radiation (STR L) than ASD- group, and that FA value of the STR L was a significant predictor of optimal outcome (EX(B), 6.25; 95% CI 2.50-15.63; p < 0.001). Children with ASD showed significant variations in SLF_L and STR_L, and STR_L was a predictor of 'ASD with optimal outcome'. Our findings may aid in comprehension of the mechanisms of 'ASD with optimal outcome'.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Ewing sarcoma (ES) is an aggressive small round cell tumor that usually occurs in younger children and young adults but rarely in older patients. Its occurrence in elderly individuals is rare. ES of the ileum with wide multiorgan metastases is rarely reported and difficult to distinguish radiologically from other gastrointestinal tract tumors. CASE SUMMARY: A 53-year-old man presented with right lower quadrant pain for 2 wk. Computed tomography results showed a heterogeneous mass within the ileum and widespread multiorgan metastases. This mass was biopsied, and pathological examination of the resected specimen revealed features consistent with an extraskeletal ES. CONCLUSION: This case emphasizes the importance of recognizing this rare presentation in the small intestine to broaden the differential diagnosis of adult intraabdominal tumors.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Driving pressure (ΔP = Plateau pressure-PEEP) is highly correlated with postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) and appears to be a promising indicator for optimizing ventilator settings. We hypothesized that dynamic, individualized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) guided by ΔP could reduce postoperative atelectasis and improve intraoperative oxygenation, respiratory mechanics, and reduce the incidence of PPCs on elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. METHODS: Fifty-one elderly patients who were subject to laparoscopic surgery participated in this randomized trial. In the PEEP titration group (DV group), the PEEP titration was decremented to the lowest ΔP and repeated every 1 h. Additional procedures were also performed when performing predefined events that may be associated with lung collapse. In the constant PEEP group (PV group), a PEEP of 6 cmH2O was used throughout the surgery. Moreover, zero PEEP was applied during the entire procedure in the conventional ventilation group (CV group). The primary objective of this study was lung ultrasound score noted at the end of surgery and 15 min after admission to the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) at 12 lung areas bilaterally. The secondary endpoints were perioperative oxygenation function, expiratory mechanics, and the incidence of the PPCs. RESULTS: The lung ultrasound scores of the DV group were significantly lower than those in the PV group and CV group (P < 0.05), whereas there was no significant difference between the PV group and CV group (P > 0.05). The lung static compliance (Cstat) and ΔP at all the intraoperative time points in the DV group were significantly better compared to the PV group and the CV group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Intraoperative titrated PEEP reduced postoperative lung atelectasis and improved respiratory mechanics in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Meanwhile, standard PEEP strategy is not superior to conventional ventilation in reducing postoperative pulmonary atelectasis in laparoscopic surgery.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To carry out genetic testing for a patient with 45,X/46,XY mosaicism and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). METHODS: Peripheral blood samples of the patient and his parents were collected for the extraction of genomic DNA. Trio-based whole exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing were carried out thereafter. RESULTS: The proband and his father were found to harbor a heterozygous c.4781G>A (p.Arg1594Gln) variant of the CACNA1I gene. In addition, the proband was also found to harbor a de novo c.268C>T (p.Arg90Trp) missense variant of the MTRR gene. Based on guidelines of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), the c.4781G>A (p.Arg1594Gln) variant of the CACNA1I gene was predicted to be pathogenic (PVS1, PM1, PM2, PP3), while the c.268C>T (p.Arg90Trp) variant of the MTRR gene was predicted to be of uncertain significance. CONCLUSION: Variants of the CACNA1I and MTRR genes, together with the chromosomal mosaicism, may have predisposed to the susceptibility to the ASD in this patient.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the pathogenic variants of the KIF1A gene and its corresponding protein structure in an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) family trio carrying harmful missense variants in the KIF1A gene. METHODS: The peripheral blood DNA of the patient and his parents was extracted and sequenced using whole exome sequencing (WES) technology and verified by Sanger sequencing. Bioinformatics software SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Mutation Taster, and CADD software were used to analyze the harmfulness and conservation of variants. The Human Brain Transcriptome (HBT) database was used to analyze the expression of the KIF1A gene in the brain. PredictProtein and SWISS-MODEL were further used to predict the secondary structure and tertiary structure of KIF1A wild-type protein and variant protein. PyMOL V2.4 was utilized to investigate the change of hydrogen bond connection after protein variant. RESULTS: The WES sequencing revealed a missense variant c.664A>C (p.Asn222His) in the child's KIF1A gene, and this variant was a de novo variant. The harmfulness prediction results suggest that this variant is harmful. By analyzing expression level of KIF1A gene in the brain. It is found that KIF1A gene widely expressed in various brain regions during embryonic development. By analyzing the variant protein structure, the missense variant of KIF1A will cause many changes in the secondary structure of protein, such as alpha-helix, beta-strand, and protein binding domain. The connection of hydrogen bond and spatial structure will also change, thereby changing the original biological function. CONCLUSION: The KIF1A gene may be a risk gene for ASD.
