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.

Chronic heart failure (CHF) is one of the greatest disease in modem medicine as chronic disease . It cost lots of financial resources to deal with. Western and traditional Chinese medicine Disease management programs (DMP) can notability improve the qualities of life and reduce the expenses for CHF. The disease management programs of CHF have achieved kind of success, but the management programs method witch is of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) characteristic idea carry into testing execution in few TCM hospitals only. This article review the necessary of DMP research, advances in research of DMP research, and relationship between management programs method of Western and traditional Chinese medicine and illness state improvement of CHF patients.
