Objective To investigate the relationship between RELN gene single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and childhood autism in Jiamusi, Heilongjiang. Methods Polymerase chain reaction-restricted fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used to determine allele and genotype of SNP (exon 6) of RELN in 30 children with autism and 30 normal children. Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC) was used to evaluate the children. Results There was a significant difference in the distribution of the allelic frequencies and genotype in exon 6 between these groups (P<0.05). There was a significant difference in the communication factors between patients with genotype of A/A and A/G or A/A and G/G (P<0.05), as well as in the total scores of ABC between A/G and G/G (P<0.05). Conclusion The SNP of RELN (exon 6) associated with the childhood autism. There is a more serious communication disorder in children with genotype of G/G, A/G than that of A/A.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the association of retinal vascular calibers with hyperuricemia in a middle-aged and elderly population.

METHODSA cross-sectional design was applied in this study and 869 participants aged =40 years from a high-risk group for diabetes were recruited. All participants received the anthropometrical measurements and laboratory tests. Retinal arteriolar and venular caliber of the participants were measured with a semi-automated system. Hyperuricemia was defined as a serum uric acid level >420 μmol/L in men and >360 μmol/L in women. Linear regression models were used to assess the association of hyperuricemia with retinal vascular calibers. These models were additionally adjusted for age, central obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, weekly activity, smoking status, and education.

RESULTSAmong the 869 participants, 133 (15.3%) suffered from hyperuricemia. The crude mean serum uric acid level was 312.3 μmol/L (Standard Deviation 79.5); mean concentration was 355.0 μmol/L (SD 75.5) in male participants, and 288.0 μmol/L (SD 71.1) in female participants (age-adjusted difference 58.1 μmol/L, 95% Confidence Internal 48.5, 67.6). After adjusting for additional covariates, male participants with hyperuricemia had 3.77 μm (95% CI -0.46, 8.00) smaller arteriolar caliber and 6.20 μm (95% CI 0.36, 12.04) larger venule than those without hyperuricemia; the corresponding numbers among female participants were 1.57 μm (95% CI -1.07, 4.21) for retinal arteriolar caliber and 2.28 μm (95% CI -1.72, 6.27) for retinal venular caliber.

CONCLUSIONHyperuricemia was associated with smaller retinal arteriolar caliber and larger venular caliber mainly in male participants in this study.

Objective:To investigate the current situation of critical thinking ability of nurses in Catheterization Room in China, and analyze its influencing factors, so as to provide reference for improving the critical thinking ability of nurses in Catheterization Room.Methods:In July 2020, the catheterization nurses from 154 hospitals, including Class Ⅲ Grade A, Class Ⅲ Grade B and Class Ⅱ Grade A, in 28 provincial capital cities of China were investigated with general information questionnaire and Chinese Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory (CTDI-CV) , by convenience sampling method. 422 questionnaires were collected in this survey, 408 were valid, and the effective rate was 96.68%.Results:The total score of critical thinking ability of the 408 catheterization nurses was (247.92±33.77) , which was at a low level as a whole. There were 361 nurses (88.48%) without positive critical thinking, 42 (10.29%) with positive critical thinking, and 5 (1.23%) with strong positive critical thinking. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that nurse level, education background, professional title and position were the main influencing factors of critical thinking ability of nurses in Catheterization Room ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The critical thinking attitude of nurses in Catheterization Room is generally negative, which is far from positive, and needs to be further improved. The nursing department should give more tendentious policies and support to the nurses in the Catheterization Room. At the same time, the nursing managers in the Catheterization Room should actively take measures to improve the critical thinking ability of nurses.

Objective: To understand the pollution characteristics and assess the pollution health risks of heavy metals in atmospheric PM_2.5 in Lanzhou. Methods: According to the regional characteristics of air pollution and industrial distribution characteristics in Lanzhou, atmospheric PM_2.5 was sampled monthly in Chengguan and Xigu Districts from January, 2015 to December, 2016. Detected the concentration of PM_2.5 and 12 kinds of elements (Sb, Al, As, Be, Cd, Cr, Hg, Pb, Mn, Ni, Se and Tl) by weighing method and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Enrichment factor and geo-accumulation index were used to describe the pollution characteristics, while health risk assessment was conducted using the recommended United States Environmental Protection Agency (USA EPA) model. The health risks of non-carcinogens were evaluated by non-cancer hazard quotient (HQ), the non-carcinogenic risk was considered to be negligible when HQ<1, HQ>1 meant a health risk. With a single contaminant cancer Risk value to evaluate the health risks of carcinogens, when the Risk value between 10^-6 to10^-4 as an acceptable level. Results: The daily average concentrations of PM_2.5 was 83.0 μg/m³, 77.0 μg/m³ in Chengguan and Xigu Districts, respectively, during the sampling periods, and the concentration of PM_2.5 in winter/spring was higher than summer/fall in both districts. The concentration of Al in PM_2.5 was the highest and other elements in descending order: Pb, Mn, As, Sb/Cd, Tl in both districts. Enrichment factor results showed that Al and Mn were mainly affected by natural factors, the rest of five elements were all typical man-made pollution elements and according to geo-accumulation index pollution level of Cd was the strongest in the winter. The results of health risk assessment showed that Mn had the highest non-cancer risks (HQ>1) and affected the health of the children seriously. HQ reached up to 2.44 and 1.79 in Chengguan and Xigu Districts, respectively. Pb, As, Sb, Cd had slight health impact (HQ<1), could be negligible. The cancer risks range of As, Cr were 6.33×10^-6 to 6.46×10^-5 between the acceptable level of risk (10^-6 to 10^-4), which indicated that As and Cd had potential cancer-risks. Conclusions The pollution level of atmospheric PM_2.5 and the heavy metals in it was still grim;the non-cancer risks caused by multiple metals on children deserved attention. Although the cancer risks of As and Cd were between the acceptable level of risk, the potential cancer risk still shall not be ignored.
