Generally, small for gestational age(SGA) infants will catch up with growth after birth, but some SGAs fail to show enough catch-up growth, leading to physical growth backwardness, and the risk of metabolic diseases in adult offspring increases. The application of exogenous growth hormone replacement therapy can ensure and promote the occurrence of SGA catching up with growth. However, as growth hormone exerts therapeutic effects in related clinical diseases, clinical attention is gradually being paid to whether growth hormone may bring long-term risks. This article aims to review the efficacy and potential risks of growth hormone treatment for SGA.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of retinal injury in rats caused by light-emitting diodes(LEDs)with different color rendering indexes(CRIs).Methods Totally 20 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into nor-mal control(NC)group(sunlight),low CRI(CRI-L)group(blue light),medium CRI(CRI-M)group(conventional LED),and high CRI(CRI-H)group(full-spectrum LED),with 5 rats in each group,exposed to light for 12 hours daily for 4 consecutive weeks.Hematoxylin & eosin staining was used to assess morphological changes in the retina.Dihydroethidi-um staining was employed to detect the levels of reactive oxygen species(ROS)in retinal tissues.The messenger ribonu-cleic acid(mRNA)expressions of NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing protein 3(NLRP3),Gasdermin D(GSDMD)and Caspase-1 were analyzed by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR),and their protein expressions were measured through immunohistochemical staining.Environmental light spectra were measured using a spectroradiometer.Results Rats in the CRI-L group showed the thinnest retina,followed by the CRI-M group and CRI-H group.The fluorescence intensity of ROS in the NC group,CRI-L group,CRI-M group and CRI-H group was 1.000±0.046,25.060±1.732,14.530±3.776 and 1.821±0.587,respectively.The ROS level in the CRI-H group was significantly lower than that in the CRI-L group and CRI-M group(both P＜0.05).RT-qPCR showed that the relative mRNA expression of NL-RP3 in the NC group,CRI-L group,CRI-M group and CRI-H group was 1.004±0.005,4.004±0.716,2.027±0.303 and 0.741±0.069,respectively;the relative mRNA expression of Caspase-1 was 1.010±0.006,4.337±0.345,2.268±0.058 and 0.713±0.021,respectively;the relative mRNA expression of GSDMD was 1.000±0.000,2.938±0.559,1.955±0.166 and 1.213±0.051,respectively.Compared with the NC group,the relative expressions of NLRP3,Caspase-1 and GSDMD in the CRI-L group and CRI-M group significantly increased(all P＜0.05).The immunohistochemical staining results showed that the fluorescence intensity of NLRP3 in the retina of rats in the NC group,CRI-L group,CRI-M group and CRI-H group was 0.379 4±0.002 2,0.400 7±0.011 4,0.379 0±0.006 9 and 0.377 0±0.007 5,respectively;the fluorescence intensity of Caspase-1 was 0.367 2±0.005 8,0.442 6±0.041 1,0.382 4±0.011 9 and 0.380 6±0.006 5,respectively;the fluorescence intensity of GSDMD was 0.159 5±0.013 4,0.167 5±0.011 9,0.397 6±0.014 3 and 0.377 2±0.022 8,respec-tively.Compared with the NC group,rats in the CRI-L group showed increased fluorescence intensity of NLRP3 and Caspase-1,and rats in the CRI-M and CRI-H showed increased fluorescence intensity of GSDMD(all P＜0.05).The spec-tral comparison revealed that the CRI-H group had a broader spectral coverage and a distribution closer to natural light spectra.Conclusion Conventional LED exposure can induce a decrease in retinal thickness,upregulate the ROS expres-sion in retinal tissues,and increase the expression levels of NLRP3,Caspase-1 and GSDMD.High CRI full-spectrum LEDs can mitigate pyroptosis through the ROS/NLRP3 pathway by optimizing their spectral distribution,offering better biosafety.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between personality characteristics and turnover intention of the medical staff in an infectious diseases hospital. Methods: Using the cluster sampling method, a total of 366 members of medical staff were selected from different departments in an infectious disease hospital from May to August, 2013. The general information, such as sex, age, education level, and professional title, were collected and they were subjected to a survey using Cattell’s 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire and Turnover Intention Scale. The data were subjected to logistic regression analysis. Results: Compared with the Chinese norm, the medical staff in the infectious disease hospital had significantly higher scores of intelligence, stability, bullying, excitability, perseverance, social boldness, fantasy, privateness, independence, and self-discipline and significantly lower scores of gregariousness, sensitivity, suspicion, anxiety, and tension (P<0.05). Of the 366 members of medical staff, 22 (6.01%) had a very low turnover intention, low in 152 (41.53%) , high in 61 (16.67%) , and very high in 131 (35.79%). The logistic regression analysis showed that sensitivity, suspicion, fantasy, privateness, anxiety, openness to change, and independence were the risk factors for turnover intention (P<0.05) . Conclusion Compared with the Chinese norm, the medical staff in the infectious disease hospital have a better mental quality and a higher turnover intention. The individuals with sensitivity, suspicion, fantasy, and anxiety are prone to having turnover intention.
