Objective:To explore the changes of cerebral blood flow (CBF) perfusion caused by N 2O (laughing gas) abuse. Methods:From December 2017 to October 2018, the CBF perfusion images of 24 patients with laughing gas abuse (9 males, 15 females; age: 18-32(24.0±8.9) years) from China-Japan Friendship Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. The region uptake statistics of different brain regions of interest (ROI) (basal ganglia, central region, cerebellum, cingulate gyrus, frontal lobe, medial temporal lobe, occipital lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe) between patients with laughing gas abuse and normal people of the same age group from background software database were calculated automatically. Statistic>1.68 indicated the increase of local CBF perfusion, while statistic < -1.68 indicated the decrease of local CBF perfusion. The correlation between the statistics of bilateral brain regions and the correlation between statistical values and clinical indicators were analyzed by Pearson and Spearman correlation analyses.Results:The correlation of the statistics between bilateral regions of each brain area was significant( r values: 0.503-0.892, all P<0.05). The decreased CBF proportions of frontal and temporal lobes were 62.5%(15/24) and 70.8%(17/24), respectively. The highest proportion of increased CBF was cingulate gyrus (33.3%, 8/24). There were significant correlations between frontal lobe, central brain area and duration of laughing gas abuse ( rs values: 0.375, 0.305, both P<0.05). Conclusion:CBF perfusion imaging is helpful for understanding the changes of CBF in patients with laughing gas abuse.

ObjectiveTo understand the status of stigma and subjective well-being of patients with mental disorders and co-resident family members, to analyze the correlation between them, and to compare the impact of stigma upon the subjective well-being of patients and family members of the same household. MethodsPatients with mental disorders (n=154) and their families (n=154) who visited the outpatient department of a tertiary psychiatric hospital in Chengdu from October to November 2019 were selected, and four instruments were used for collecting the data, including self-designed demographic information questionnaire, self-designed disease-related information questionnaire, brief version of Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale (ISMI-10) and Index of Well-Being Scale (IWB). ResultsA total of 118 (76.62%) patients with mental disorders and 151 (98.05%) family members experienced stigma. The total score and each factors score in ISMI-10 of family members were higher than those of patients (P<0.01), and the total score and each dimension score in IWB were lower than those of patients (P<0.01). Pearson correlation analysis showed that ISMI-10 total score of patients and family members was negatively correlated with IWB total score (r=-0.600,-0.202, P<0.05 or 0.01). After controlling demographic and disease-related variables, multiple linear regression analysis showed that the regression model of mental disorder patients achieved good fit effect (adjusted R2=0.457), with statistical significance (F=26.746, P<0.01), while the regression model of co-living family members was lack of fit (adjusted R2=0.035). After controlling for family demographic variables, the model was at the statistical level (F=3.769, P<0.01). ConclusionMental disorder patients have low illness stigma and high subjective well-being, whereas the opposite is true for family members. Moreover, there is a negative relationship between stigma and subjective well-being for both patients and family members, stigma is a significant factor affecting subjective well-being for people with mental disorders.

OBJECTIVE:
To determine the carrier rate of deafness-related genetic variants among 53 873 newborns from Zhengzhou.
METHODS:
Heel blood samples of the newborns were collected with informed consent from the parents, and 15 loci of 4 genes related to congenital deafness were detected by microarray.
RESULTS:
In total 2770 newborns were found to carry deafness-related variants, with a carrier rate of 5.142%. 1325 newborns (2.459%) were found to carry heterozygous variants of the GJB2 gene, 1071 (1.988%) were found with SLC26A4 gene variants, 205 were found with GJB3 gene variants (0.381%), and 120 were found with 12S rRNA variants (0.223%). Five newborns have carried homozygous GJB2 variants, two have carried homozygous SLC26A4 variants, five have carried compound heterozygous GJB2 variants, and four have carried compound heterozygous SLC26A4 variants. 33 neonates have carried heterozygous variants of two genes at the same time.
CONCLUSION
The carrier rate of deafness-related variants in Zhengzhou, in a declining order, is for GJB2, SLC26A4, GJB3 and 12S rRNA. The common variants included GJB2 235delC and SLC26A4 IVS7-2A>G, which are similar to other regions in China. To carry out genetic screening of neonatal deafness can help to identify congenital, delayed and drug-induced deafness, and initiate treatment and follow-up as early as possible.
