Mental health services for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities: a WHO-FICs-based study / 中国康复理论与实践

ObjectiveTo systematically analyze the typical mental health conditions and psychological disorders of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), to construct a mental health service system and psychological interventions to these mental health conditions of children with IDD . MethodsBased on the framework of the World Health Organization Family International Classifications (WHO-FICs), the mental health conditions and related functioning were analyzed, and the mental health service framework and proposed mental health interventions were constructed.There were six main categories of mental health conditions for children with IDDConclusionThis study systematically analyzed the typical mental health status and related psychological functional impairments of children with IDD. Based on the World Health Organization health service system, a mental health service framework for children with IDD was constructed. Referring to the WHO's continuum of health services, a system of psychological intervention methods for children with IDD was established. Furthermore, the WHO-FICs were used to describe and code the functions of children with IDD, and the ICHI-β3 was applied to code and analyze the related psychological interventions. Resultsmood disorders (anxiety and depression), behavioral disorders (disruptive disorders and challenging behaviors, aggressive behaviors), traumatic disorders (post-traumatic stress disorder), mental disorders (schizophrenia), suicide and self-harm, and learning disabilities (developmental learning disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). Mental health services for children with IDD involved in six dimensions: leadership and governance, fundraising, human resources, service delivery, mental health technologies, and information and research. Mental health services went through the continuum of health services from prevention, treatment, rehabilitation to health promotion. We delivered mental health services for children with IDD in three aspects: identifying and diagnosing mental health problems or conditions, analyzing the main factors caused mental health problems, and analyzing the environmental factors. Mental health service interventions mainly covered five categories: antidepressants, psychotherapy, stress management training, physical exercise training, healthy lifestyle education, consultation and support. Children with IDD may obtain the mental health services in hospitals, rehabilitation institutions, community and school settings.

Rethinking the marketing strategy of anti-tumor drugs by single-arm trials supported / 中华肿瘤杂志

Single-arm trial refers to a clinical trial design that does not set up parallel control group, adopts open design, and does not involve randomization and blind method. These features, on the one hand, speed up the process of clinical trials, significantly shorten the time to market and meet the needs of patients with advanced malignancies, but also lead to the uncertainty of single-arm clinical trials themselves. Recently, the US Food and Drug Administration held a meeting of the oncologic drug advisory committee to discuss six tumor indications that have been accelerated approved, which once again triggered the discussion of single-arm trials. The basis of accelerated approval by single-arm trial is actually a compromise on the level of evidence-based medical evidence requirements after assessing the benefit risk. Therefore, the sponsor should strictly grasp the applicable conditions of single-arm trial in anti-tumor drugs and conduct single-arm trial scientifically. Post-marketing clinical trial should be implement as early as possible to ensure the benefit of patients. Based on the characteristics of single-arm trial, combined with two guidance relevant to single-arm trial issued by National Medical Products Administration recently, this article is supposed to propose and summarize the strategy of single-arm trial supporting the marketing of anti-tumor drugs.

Comparison of Standards of Intellectual Impairment in China Using ICF / 中国康复理论与实践

Objective:To compare the standards of intellectual impairment in China based on ICF to provide evidences for standardization of identification and services of intellectual impairment. Methods:The national standards of intellectual impairment or injury from Standard of Identification of Work Capacity: Identification Classification of DisabilityCaused by Work-related Injuries, Occupational Diseases and Classification of Impairment Related to Injury and China Insurance Disability Standard and Code were compared under the framework, terminology, coding and evaluation of ICF. Results:These three standards covered ICF three components, including body structure, body function, activity and participation, but not contextual factors. The terminology and coding system of China Insurance Disability Standard and Code came from ICF. However, there was no standardized terminology and coding system among sectors. The classification and evaluation for intellectual impairment were different among these three standards, that made it difficult to compare the outcome directly. Conclusion:It is proposed to adopt the ICF framework and approach to standardize the definition, terms, coding, and evaluation of intellectual impairment in disability standards in China to promote data exchange of evaluation and service among sectors.

Effects of hypoxic exosomes on the proliferation, migration and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma Huh7 cells / 中华肝脏病杂志

Objective@#To explore the effects of hypoxic exosomes secreted from hepatocellular carcinoma Huh7 cells on the proliferation, migration and invasion under co-cultured normoxic condition.@*Methods@#Hypoxic exosomes secreted from Huh7 cells under hypoxic conditions were extracted by differential ultracentrifugation. Transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticles tracking analysis and western blot were used for the identification of hypoxic exosomes. Hypoxic exosomes were co-cultured with Huh7 cells under normoxic conditions. CCK8, cell scratch and transwell assay were used to detect the changes of cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Statistical analysis was performed by one-way ANOVA and t-test.@*Results@#Hypoxic exosomes secreted from Huh7 cells ranged in size from 30 to 150 nm in diameter, and expressed exosome surface markers CD9, CD63 and TSG101. Hypoxic exosomes significantly enhanced the proliferation of normoxic Huh7 cells (A value of hypoxic exosomes and control group at 48 and 72 h were 2.131 ± 0.092 and 1.760 ± 0.104,t= 3.740,P<0.01, 3.121 ± 0.157 and 2.298 ± 0.085,t= 8.289,P< 0.01). The migration distance between hypoxic exosome and control group at 48 and 72 h were (0.37 ± 0.06 cm)and(0.19 ± 0.05 cm),t= 4.813,P< 0.05, (1.15 ± 0.07 cm) and(0.62 ± 0.08 cm),t= 8.874,P< 0.05, and invasion ability [hypoxic exosomes and control group were (123 ± 18), (44 ± 12),t= 6.203,P< 0.01].@*Conclusion@#Hypoxic exosomes secreted from hepatocellular carcinoma Huh7 cells can promote cell proliferation, migration and invasion in hypoxic environment, suggesting that intercellular information transmission mediated by hypoxic exosomes may be one of the key mechanisms for the amplification of malignancy of hepatocellular carcinoma cells in hypoxic microenvironment.

Analysis of the discrepancy of crown-root morphology of central incisors among different skeletal malocclusion using cone-beam CT / 中华口腔医学杂志

Objective@#To investigate the discrepancy of crown-root morphology of upper and lower central incisors in adult patients with different skeletal malocclusions using cone-beam CT (CBCT).@*Methods@#Patients visiting the Department of Orthodontics, College of Stomatology, Xi′an Jiaotong University from January 2015 to December 2017 were selected, including 108 cases (52 males, 56 females, aged from 18 to 30 years, mean age 25.8 years). According to CBCT data and cephalometric analysis, 66 patients with average angle were selected as the sagittal skeletal group, including 24 Class Ⅰ patients, 20 Class Ⅱ and 22 Class Ⅲ patients. In the other selected 66 skeletal Class Ⅰ patients including 21 low angle patients, 24 average angle patients (from the sagittal skeletal Class Ⅰ subgroup) and 21 high angle patients. Invivo 5 software was used to locate the CBCT image three dimensionally and then obtain the middle labio-lingual section of right central incisor. Auto CAD 2007 software was applied to measure the angle formed by the long axis of root and the extension line of the long axis of crown (Collum angle), and the angle between the long axis of crown and the lip tangent line passing through the center of the labial surface of crown (labial surface angle). One-way ANOVA and Scheff were used to analyze the discrepancies among classifications and Pearson correlation analysis was used to determine the correlation between the Collum angles and labial surface angles.@*Results@#Significant differences were found in Collum angles and labial surface angles among different sagittal skeletal patterns (P<0.05). The Collum angle of maxillary central incisors in Class Ⅱ patients was 5.18°±4.97° and the average labial surface angle was 17.78°±3.74°, which were both significantly higher than that of maxillary central incisors in Class Ⅰ and Ⅲ subgroups (P<0.05). Similarly, the above two angles of mandibular central incisors in Class Ⅲ were 5.59°±5.64° and 15.32°±3.05°, which were significantly higher than that of mandibular central incisors in Class Ⅰ and Ⅱ subgroups (P<0.05). There was no significant difference among different vertical skeletal patterns (P>0.05). Notably, the Collum angles of maxillary or mandibular central incisors presented significantly positive correlation with labial surface angles (maxillary: r=0.723, P<0.001; mandibular: r=0.752, P<0.001).@*Conclusions@#The long axis of the crown of the maxillary central incisor in skeletal Class Ⅱ patients and the mandibular central incisor in skeletal Class Ⅲ patients are obviously deviated toward the lingual side relative to the long axis of the root, and correspondingly there is a greater labial surface angle of the crown, which indicates that equivalent positioning deviation during bracket bonding can cause greater torque expression error.

Effects of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acid intake on serum lipoprotein, C-reactive protein and homocysteine in patients with acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack / 国际脑血管病杂志

Objective@#To investigate the relationship between dietary polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) intake and blood lipid, C-reactive protein (CRP) and homocysteine (Hcy) in patients with acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA).@*Methods@#Patients with acute ischemic stroke or TIA were enrolled consecutively from Nanjing Stroke Registry Program. The total dietary PUFA intake level was assessed by the food semi-quantitative frequency questionnaire. Venous blood samples were collected in the morning of the day after admission to the hospital to detect the levels of serum total cholesterol, triacylglycerol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, Hcy, and CRP. According to the median level of total PUFA intake, the patients were divided into low PUFA group and high PUFA group. The relationship between PUFA intake and blood lipid, CRP and Hcy was analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine the independent correlation.@*Results@#A total of 170 patients (85.1%) with acute ischemic stroke and 31 patients with TIA (14.9%) were enrolled. Their age was 62.9±14.1 years, 143 were males (71.1%), and the median PUFA daily intake was 12.8 g (interquartile range: 8.05-17.5 g). Compared with the high PUFA group (n=100), patients in the low PUFA group (n=101) were older, serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were lower, and CRP and Hcy levels were higher. The above differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that total dietary PUFA intake was significantly negatively correlated with the serum CRP (r=-0.24, P=0.001) and Hcy (r=-0.17, P=0.013) levels, and there was no significant correlation with the blood lipid levels. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that CRP was significantly negatively correlated with PUFA intake after adjusting for confounding factors (B=-0.28, P=0.012).@*Conclusions@#Dietary PUFA intake in patients with acute ischemic stroke or TIA may affect blood metabolism index and oxidative stress index. It is necessary to adjust the dietary structure of patients with low PUFA intake to reduce the risk of stroke recurrence.
