Objective To examine the impact on impulsivity trait by monoamine oxidase A variable nucleotide tan?dem repeat (MAOA-VNTR) genotype and children’s abuse experience. Methods The self-reported questionnaire of Bar?ratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS), Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) were conducted in 403 normal Han female adoles?cents from north-west of China. The DNA were extracted from their venous blood sample and were genotyped for the MAOA-VNTR polymorphism. A linear regression model was used to investigate the main effects of MAOA-VNTR and children's abuse, and their interaction effect on impulsivity. Results The main effect of Children’s maltreatment experi?ence on trait impulsivity was significant (P<0.01). The main effect of MAOA-VNTR gene and the interaction between MAOA-VNTR genotype and children's maltreatment experience were insignificant (P>0.05). Conclusion The MAOA-VNTR genotype may not be involved in the female adolescents’impulsivity traits related to childhood maltreat?ment.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors for postoperative delirium in patients with glioma, and construct and validate a nomogram prediction model.Methods:A total of 304 glioma surgery patients admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery of Shandong Provincial Hospital from January 2021 to January 2022 were involved in this research. The training set (234 patients) and the validation set (70 patients) were divided according to the leave-out method. Patients in the training set and validation set were divided into delirium and non-delirium groups using the confusion assessment method (CAM) as the criteria.Clinical data of patients in the two study groups in the training set were analyzed.The risk factors for postoperative delirium were clarified by Logistic regression analysis, and an early warning model for postoperative delirium in glioma was established. The calibration curve and ROC curve were used for internal and external validation in the training set and validation set to evaluate the accuracy and discrimination of the prediction model.Results:Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age>60 ( OR=4.089, 95% CI=1.898-9.103, P<0.001), diabetes ( OR=2.825, 95% CI=1.316-6.186, P=0.008), hypertension ( OR=2.176, 95% CI=1.041-4.587, P=0.008), smoking ( OR=2.432, 95% CI=1.063-5.648, P=0.036), history of epileptic seizures ( OR=4.457, 95% CI=1.924-10.689, P=0.001), poor lung function ( OR=2.452, 95% CI=1.132-5.374, P=0.023), visual analog scale (VAS)>7 points ( OR=3.394, 95% CI=1.591-7.456, P=0.002), anxiety or depression ( OR=2.746, 95% CI=1.285-5.976, P=0.010) and operation duration>4 h ( OR=2.731, 95% CI=1.255-6.062, P=0.012) were the independent risk factors of brain glial postoperative delirium.Based on the above risk factors a nomogram nursing early warning model was established.The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of internal verification was 0.852, and AUC of external verification was 0.914. Conclusion:The early-warning model for postoperative delirium in glioma patients can effectively predict the risk of delirium after glioma surgery, and it has certain clinical promotion value.

Objective:To investigate the effect of intranasal oxytocin administration on empathy in male adolescents with conduct disorder.Methods:The male adolescents with conduct disorder in the Psychological Counseling Clinic of the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from September 2015 to August 2016 were selected.And they were randomly assigned to oxytocin group ( n=46) and placebo group ( n=51) by random number table. Subjects in oxytocin group were given nasal spray of 24 IU oxytocin twice per day for two weeks, while those in placebo group were given nasal spray of 0.9% sodium chloride solution for two weeks. The empathy of patients was assessed with a pain-related empathy task and interpersonal reactivity index (IRI) before and after two weeks′ administration. SPSS 20.0 software was used for statistical analysis, and repeated measurement analysis of variance was used to compare the empathy ability of the two groups before and after intervention. Results:Repeated measurement analysis of variance showed that there were significant time×group interaction effects in the scores of painful expressions during the pain-related empathy task ( F=13.86, P<0.001), IRI ( F=5.59, P=0.020) and empathic concern subscale ( F=4.99, P=0.028). There was significant between-group effect in the score of perspective-taking subscale of IRI( F=4.22, P=0.043). Simple effect analysis revealed that after two weeks of intervention, the score of needle-pain expression in oxytocin group was significantly higher than that at baseline ( t=-2.08, P=0.040). And the score of needle-pain expression in oxytocin group was significantly higher than that in placebo group ( t=2.33, P=0.022). After two weeks of intervention, the total IRI score ( t=-2.58, P=0.011) and empathy factor score ( t=-3.15, P=0.002) of oxytocin group were both higher than those at baseline. After intervention, the total IRI score ( t=2.30, P=0.024) and perspective-taking factor score ( t=2.57, P=0.012) in oxytocin group were higher than those in placebo group, and the differences were statistically significant. Conclusions:Oxytocin may improve the cognitive and emotional empathy in male adolescents with conduct disorder.

Objective To explore the radiation shielding optimization plan for a medical proton cyclotron developing and commissioning building at various commissioning stages. Methods According to the maximum source termsat different commissioning stages, we used the empirical formula to estimate the instantaneous dose rate at the point of interest outside the shield of the building, and optimized the building’s shielding ateach commissioning stage. Results When adding 1.0 m mobile concrete shielding blocks (“blocks” below) each to wall 3 and wall 4 at the cyclotron commissioning stage, 1.0 m blocks to wall 4 and 1.25 m blocks to wall 5 at the beam transport line commissioning stage, and 1.0 m blocks to wall 9 and 0.4 m blocks to the ceiling at the simulated treatment room commissioning stage, the dose rates at the points of interest outside the shield could meet the dose rate limit requirements. Conclusion The application of mobile concrete shielding blocks not only meets the shielding requirements, but also has economical and space-saving advantages, conforming to the principle of shielding optimization. This can be an approach to the optimization of radiation shielding for high-energy particle accelerators or similar scientific projects.

Objective:To explore the effects of mouth opening breathing for different reasons on children's maxillofacial development. Methods:One hundred and fifty-one children were selected as the research objects of this experiment. They were divided into 49 cases of adenoid hypertrophy group(group A), 52 cases of tonsillar hypertrophy group(group B) and 50 cases of adenoid with tonsillar hypertrophy group(Group C). Healthy children in the same period were selected as the control group, a total of 45 cases. The reflex nasopharyngeal measurement parameters, facial development indexes and cephalometric parameters of group A, group B, group C and control group were analyzed, and the incidence of Angle ClassⅡand Angle Class Ⅲ in group A, group B and group C were studied. Results:Compared with the control group, the reflex nasopharyngeal measurement parameters in group A, group B and group C was significantly different(P<0.05), and the cephalometric parameters changed with variation in groups(P<0.05). The incidence of Angle Class Ⅱ facial pattern in group A and group C was higher, but the incidence of Angle Class Ⅲ facial pattern in group B and group C was higher(P<0.05). Conclusion:Adenoid hypertrophy leads to mandibular retraction; tonsil hypertrophy leads to anterior mandibular arch; adenoid hypertrophy and tonsil hypertrophy are easy to lead to clockwise rotation of the mandible. In clinical practice, to avoid children's uncoordinated maxillofacial development, we should correct the maxillofacial situation of children as soon as possible.
