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.

Lignocellulose is the most abundant natural biomass. Bioconversion of lignocelluloses becomes a bottleneck for biorefinery, because of its complex structures and heterogeneous composition. Besides screening or engineering approach for single free enzymes with improved properties, an alternative approach is to study synergistic pattern with hydrolysis systems or mimic natural cellulosome for better performance in cellulolytic substrate degradation. Besides, bacterial co-cultures provide another synergistic cellulolytic system. Engineered strains with modified metabolic network could facilitate consolidated bioprocess by increasing yields as well as reducing costs.

Objective To understand the current situation of literature research of diabetes care in China by analyzing Chinese periodicals using bibliometric analysis,and to provide a direction of diabetes care in future research. Methods The topic retrieval was conducted in CNKI and Wanfang Database. The retrieved data was remerged through NoteExpress to obtain eligible documents. Bicomb analysis software was used to analyze the literature characteristics. Results Approximately 4431 Chinese papers that related to diabetes care were published from 1956 to 2016,and most productive in 2011 of 400 papers. Journal of Qilu Nursing ranked the first with 906(20.447%)posting volume,followed by Chinese Nursing Research and Chinese General Practice Nursing,with the total volume of 540(12.187%)and 538(12.142%)respectively. Only 187(4.220%) articles of diabetes care were published on Chinese Nursing Journal. The General Hospital of PLA had the highest publications of 70(1.579%)articles. The frequent key words for diabetes care were diabetic foot,type 2 diabetes,nursing intervention,health education,and the elderly,etc. Conclusions The research of diabetes care starts late but is rapidly developing in China. The quality of related publications is not good enough and the research is more likely to depend on diabetes medicine. The hotspot of current research is type 2 diabetes, diabetes in the elderly,diabetic foot,and the research frontiers is health education.

Objective To screen the influencing factors of hepatitis C cirrhosis patients progressing to hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)using commonly used laboratory testing indicators,establish a prediction model using these indicators and validate them.Methods A total of 231 patients with hepatitis C cirrhosis and 179 patients with hepatitis C HCC hospitalized at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University between June 2020 and May 2023 were enrolled as the training set,and 105 patients with hepatitis C cirrhosis and 86 patients with hepatitis C HCC hospitalized between June 2023 and February 2024 were enrolled as the validation set.The routine laboratory test indexes of the study subjects in the two groups within the training set were compared,and logistic regression analysis was applied to screen the independent predictors of hepatocellular carcinoma occurrence.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to construct the curve model and validate the model.Results The age,male ratio,ALT,AST,AFP,WBC,NEU,MO,PLT,MPV,PDW,Fbg,NLR and PLR levels of the HCC group were higher than those of the cirrhosis group in the training set(H=-9.07~-2.19),while the levels of INR and LMR were lower than those of the cirrhosis group(H=-4.49,-2.65),and the differences were significant(all P<0.05).The differences in TP,eGFR,LY and AST/ALT values between the two groups of patients were not significant(H=-1.46~-0.15,all P>0.05).Multifactorial Logistic regression analysis showed that age(OR=1.048,95%CI:1.023~1.074),Male(OR=1.467,95%CI:1.413~1.765),AST(OR=1.010,95%CI:1.002~1.019),NEU(OR=1.186,95%CI:1.018~1.382)and Fbg(OR=2.245,95%CI:1.639~3.076)were independent risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma patients(all P<0.05),and these five independent risk factors were used to construct the HCC column-line graph prediction model,with the AUC for the training set and the validation set AUC(95%Cl)were 0.813(0.771~0.854)and 0.712(0.639~0.784),respectively,and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed a good fit of the model with P=0.650 for the training set and P=0.310 for the validation set.Conclusion The prediction model of HCC based on age,gender,AST,NEU and Fbg can have good predictive efficacy and clinical application value.
