Plasma fatty acids and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: a Mendelian randomization investigation.

Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder of childhood, and pathogenesis is not fully understood. Observational studies suggest an association between fatty acids abnormalities and ADHD, but there are contradictions and differences between these findings. To address this uncertainty, we employed a two-sample bidirectional Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis to investigate the causal relationship between fatty acids and ADHD.

The Efficacy of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Tic Disorder: A Meta-Analysis and a Literature Review.

Background: At present, tic disorder has attracted the attention of medical researchers in many countries. More clinicians choose non-drug therapy, especially cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) because of the cognitive side effects of drug therapy. However, few studies had assessed its efficacy.

Exploring the Core Prescription and Underlying Mechanism of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Treating Allergic Rhinitis in Children: A Real- World Study Based on an Illustrious Senior Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner.

Background: Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is widely used to treat allergic rhinitis (AR) in China, especially in children. However, due to the complicated composition rules and unclear underlying mechanisms, effective herbal prescriptions' popularization and application are limited.

Purpose: This study tried to detect the core prescription of herbs in treating AR in children, reveal its mechanism based on the ingredients' network, and explore the main signaling pathways.

Data Mining and Systematic Pharmacology to Reveal the Mechanisms of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Recurrent Respiratory Tract Infections' Treatment.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) was widely used in the treatment of recurrent respiratory tract infections (RRTIs) in East Asia, but its mechanism was not clear because of its complex prescription rules. This research prospectively collected 100 prescriptions of RRTI children treated with TCM. The characteristics of TCM in prescriptions were described and analyzed, and the rules of prescriptions were analyzed by hierarchical clustering and association rules.

Modification-free amperometric biosensor for the detection of wild-type p53 protein based on the in situ formation of silver nanoparticle networks for signal amplification.

Sensitive and accurate quantification of wild-type p53 protein is of great importance for biological research and clinical diagnosis. Herein, a modification-free amperometric biosensor was proposed for sensitive detection of wild-type p53 protein by the signal amplification of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) networks formed in situ on electrode surface. Double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) probe containing two consensus sites was immobilized on gold electrode surface to capture wild-type p53 protein.
