Objective:To explore the causal association between insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1)and colorectal cancer(CRC)based on two sample Mendelian randomization(MR)analysis.Methods:A bidirectional two sample MR analysis was conducted based on publicly aggregated data from the IEU OpenGWAS project.The inverse variance weighted(IVW)method was used as the main analysis model to assess the causal relationship between IGF-1 and CRC.Additional analyses were performed using weighted median(WM),MR-Egger regression,weighted mode estimator(WME),and simple mode(SM)methods.Sensitivity analysis was performed to assess the robustness of the results.Results:A total of 386 single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)were selected as instrumental variables(IVs)with IGF-1 as the exposure factor.The MR analysis results revealed a positive causal association between IGF-1 and the risk of CRC[odds ratio(OR)=1.178,95%confidence interval(CI):1.092-1.272)](P<0.001),and the association remained significant after adjusting for height[OR(95%CI)=1.214(1.111,1.327)](P<0.001).Cochran's Q-test showed heterogeneity among the IVs(P<0.05),while the horizontal pleiotropy of IV was not detected by the MR-Egger regression(P>0.05).The leave-one-out analysis showed that the MR results were robust.Reverse MR analysis indicated no reverse causal relationship between IGF-1 and CRC[OR(95%CI):1.017(0.997,1.037)](P=0.103).Conclusion:There is a causal relationship between IGF-1 level and CRC,and elevated IGF-1 level could be a risk factor for CRC.

Freezing of gait(FOG)is a confirmed disabling gait disorder in Parkinson disease(PD).Resting-state functional MRI(rs-fMRI)can reflect brain functional connectivity(FC)under resting-state,hence being helpful to reveal the pathophysiological mechanisms of FOG.The processes of rs-MRI brain networks for PD complicated with FOG were reviewed in this article.

Objective To investigate current status of learned resourcefulness in pregnant women,and to identify its influencing factors.Methods With convenient sampling,a self-made General Data Questionnaire and the Chinese version of Self-Control Schedule (C-SCS) was used to survey 360 pregnant women in the antenatal clinic in one three-class hospital in Guangzhou.Results The mean score of learned resourcefulness in pregnant women was (115.00±14.42) and its influencing factors included education degree,gravidity,pregnancy school training and planed pregnancy.Conclusions Learned resourcefulness in pregnant women loads upper level.Medical staff should take targeted interventions to strengthen it and facilitate the mental well-being of pregnant women.
