There is a substantial unmet need for treatments in the field of pediatric rare diseases, and investigator initiated trial(IIT) provide a critical pathway for testing and developing new drugs or treatment strategies. However, healthcare institutions, when conducting such research, must address compliance risks related to project approval, contract management, data protection, and conflict of interest management. This study aims to analyze the particularities and challenges of IIT in pediatric rare diseases, review relevant regulations and regulatory requirements, and provide healthcare institutions with a reference framework for compliance risk management to maximize the benefits of IIT. Based on literature review, analysis of laws and regulations, practical work experience, and frameworks from other institutions, we summarize the unique aspects of pediatric rare disease IIT in terms of participant characteristics, innovative technologies, and organizational structures.On this basis, targeted compliance management recommendations are proposed, which include establishing a risk rating and full-cycle risk monitoring mechanism, a consent and ethical review mechanism tailored to pediatric participants, a robust contract management mechanism, a comprehensive data security management mechanism, and a multidisciplinary team and multi-channel compensation mechanism. The study concludes that healthcare institutions, funders, and other collaborating entities should implement compliance management in line with the characteristics of IIT to ensure the safety and effectiveness of research and facilitate innovation and development in the treatment of pediatric rare diseases.

Circular RNA(circRNA)is an emerging class of endogenous non-coding RNA,which is widely expressed in the brain and plays an important role in a variety of biological processes.Research has shown that circRNA plays a key role in physiological and pathological processes of the brain,such as neurodevelopment,synaptic plasticity and neurodegenerative diseases through a variety of mecha-nisms such as adsorption of microRNA,binding to proteins and translation of peptides.In the field of drug addiction,the expression of circRNA is significantly changed in animal models and brains of addicts,and the regulation involves neural adaptation in brain regions that form the reward circuit such as the nucleus accumbens and prefrontal cortex.Additionally,addiction-related circRNAs are closely associated with neurotransmitter systems,signaling pathways,and neuroinflammatory responses,and they influ-ence the formation and maintenance of drug addiction by modulating gene expression networks related to drug addiction.Here,the biogenesis and regulatory mechanism of circRNA as well as its important role in brain function and drug addiction are reviewed in order to provide a new perspective for explora-tions of the pathological mechanism of drug addiction.

Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of quantitative 99Tc m-hydrazinonicotinamide(HYNIC)-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) SPECT/CT in patients with prostate cancer. Methods:From November 2018 to March 2021, the data of 56 patients ((69.8±8.0) years) with clinically suspected prostate cancer, who had elevated radioactive uptake in prostate on 99Tc m-HYNIC-PSMA SPECT/CT images in Henan Provincial People′s Hospital, were retrospectively analyzed. According to the pathological results, patients were divided into prostate cancer group ( n=45) and non-prostate cancer group ( n=11). The xSPECT-QUANT software was used to quantitatively analyze the high uptake area of the prostate, and SUV max was measured. The independent-sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test, ROC curve and Spearman correlation analysis were used for data analysis. Results:The prostate cancer group had higher SUV max than non-prostate cancer group (10.79±5.96 vs 3.60±1.27; t=7.43, P<0.001). When SUV max≥6.46, the AUC of prostate cancer was 0.887, with the diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and accuracy of 73.3%(33/45), 11/11, 100%(33/33), 47.8%(11/23), 78.6%(44/56), respectively. The SUV max of prostate cancer group was positively correlated with Gleason score ( rs=0.632, P<0.001). The SUV max of 29 patients with Gleason score≥8 was higher than that of 16 patients with Gleason score≤7 ( z=-3.89, P<0.001). There was no statistical difference in PSA level between patients with Gleason score≤ 7 and patients with non-prostate cancer ( z=-1.63, P=0.110), but the SUV max was significantly different ( z=-2.22, P=0.026). The SUV max of 23 patients with metastases was higher than that of 22 patients without metastasis (12.99±5.85 vs 8.50±5.28; t=2.69, P=0.010). ROC analysis showed that the AUC was 0.709; with SUV max≥13.02 as the threshold, the sensitivity for diagnosing prostate cancer metastases was 56.5%(13/23), the specificity was 86.4%(19/22), and the accuracy was 71.1%(32/45). Conclusions:The 99Tc m-HYNIC-PSMA SPECT/CT quantitative analysis is feasible in patients with prostate cancer. SUV max of 99Tc m-HYNIC-PSMA can be used in the diagnosis of prostate cancer, assessment of the malignancy and prediction of metastasis.

Safety and Health at Work 2021;12(3):346-350
Background:
The high sensitivity of individuals toward safety information in production activities, that is, attentional bias toward safety (ABS), can positively predict safe behaviors. It has become a hot topic in current organizational safety behavior research. However, there is no literature on its modification method.
Methods:
Based on the modified dot-probe task, we designed a modification training method of ABS. The training method required subjects to respond to the location of detection points that presented after safety stimulus and neutral stimulus pictures. Subjects' attentional bias values of safety and neutral pictures were measured during the experiment. Twenty-one students were selected and divided into a control group and training group to gain comparable results.
Results:
A novel training method was developed in this study to promote the efficacy of safety stimulus by activating ABS of the subjects. Moreover, repeated trainings and preacquired relative knowledge can enhance this effect.
Conclusion
This study develops an experimental approach to evaluate the effectiveness of safety education and safety training, and also provides a new research idea for accident prevention.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between occupational aluminum exposure and fasting blood glucose level in workers. METHODS: A cluster sampling method was used to select 178 occupational aluminum-exposed workers as the exposure group, and 178 workers without occupational aluminum exposure as the control group in a large aluminum factory in Shanxi Province. Glucose oxidase method was used to measure the fasting blood glucose level, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry was used to measure the plasma aluminum level in these workers. A generalized linear model was used to analyze the correlation between plasma aluminum exposure level and fasting blood glucose in these workers. RESULTS: The blood aluminum level of workers in the exposure group was higher than that of the control group [median: 39.58 vs 16.67 μg/L, P<0.01]. The fasting blood glucose level of workers in the exposure group was higher than that of the control group [(5.33±0.79) vs(5.15±0.41) mmol/L, P<0.01]. The results of the generalized linear model analysis showed that the blood aluminum level of workers was positively correlated with their fasting blood glucose level after adjusting for age, body mass index, smoking, drinking, exercise, family history of diabetes, and incidence of diabetes(P<0.05). There was a dose-response relationship between the blood aluminum level and fasting blood glucose level of workers in the groups of junior high school and below and high school(all P_(trend)<0.01). There was no correlation found between blood aluminum level and fasting blood glucose level in the group of college and above(P_(trend)>0.05). There was a dose-response relationship between the blood aluminum level and the fasting blood glucose level in the workers in the non-exercise group(P_(trend)<0.01). There was no correlation found between the blood aluminum level and the fasting blood glucose level in the exercise group(P_(trend)>0.05). CONCLUSION: The blood aluminum level of workers exposed to occupational aluminum is positively correlated with their fasting blood glucose level. Higher education level or exercise can moderately reduce the effect of blood aluminum level on fasting blood glucose.
