Association between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons exposure and current asthma: a population-based study by Zhou Jin, Wen Sun, Guangfa Wang

“…The data suggested that below the inflection point of 1.87, the association fluctuates, while above this point, a linear increase in current asthma is observed, as indicated by a two-piecewise linear regression model. Conclusions We found a positive association between PAHs and current asthma in adults, with a variable relationship between log 1-Hydroxypyrene and current asthma, suggesting that high levels of 1-Hydroxypyrene exposure may increase the risk of current asthma. …”

The role of gestures in predicting treatment outcomes in children with autism spectrum disorder by YE Qianying, LIU Linru, XU Yanting, ZHU Huilin, DENG Hongzhu

“…Results By comparing the ABAS-Ⅱ social skills domain （<i>t</i>=-5.850， <i>P &lt; </i>0.001）， conceptual skills domain （<i>t</i>=-5.548， <i>P &lt; </i>0.001）， practical skills domain （<i>Z </i>= -4.045， <i>P &lt; </i>0.001） and the total score （<i>t </i>= -6.771， <i>P &lt; </i>0.001）， as well as the CDI total score （<i>Z </i>= -3.263， <i>P = </i>0.001）， the post-intervention scores of ASD children were significantly higher than their pre-intervention scores. Multiple linear regression model found that the frequency of eye gaze-integrated gestures before interventions in ASD children could predict the changes in the score of the social skills domain of the ABASⅡ （<i>B </i>= 1.565， <i>P &lt; </i>0.001） and the total score of the ABASⅡ （<i>B </i>= 7.331， <i>P = </i>0.002）. …”
