The research of esophageal target is a difficult spot in the precise radiotherapy and the target mobility has an important effect for the radiotherapy of esophageal cancer.By different breathing control techniques,controlling the patient's respiratory may narrow target mobility so as to improve the accuracy of radiotherapy.But the present studies of the movement range of esophageal cancer with the respiratory control technologies have not come to a consistent standard.The area shape and position change of esophageal cancer target is a key problem that needs to be solved in the esophageal precise radiotherapy.

As a transcriptional repressor,Bmi-1 is a member of polyeomb group gene family.It may play an important role in self-renewal ability and proliferation of stem cell.At present,studies show that Bmi-1 is highly expressed in a variety of solid tumors,which can be regarded as one of the markers of cancer stem cells and has a close relation to the cancer development and progression and radiation resistance.It will provide an important target gene for the treatment of malignant tumors.

Abstract
The increasing fragile and vulnerable adolescents mental health determines the increasing demand for psychological health services among teenagers, which indicates the inadequacy of traditional mental health service models. This article summarizes the necessity of digital mental health services for adolescents, and then lists the application examples of digital mental health services across the world, aiming to provide reference for digital mental health services among Chinese adolescents.

Objective:
To compare the abdominal fat distribution in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) and essential hypertension (EH), and to analyze the correlation between abdominal fat area and indexes such as glycolipid metabolism and insulin resistance.
Methods:
Forty-five PA and 55 EH patients were collected from inpatients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University for suspicious secondary hypertension, from September 2016 to February 2019. All patients received quantitative computed tomography to measure the total abdominal fat area (TFA), visceral fat area (VFA), and subcutaneous fat area (SFA) when receiving adrenal CT detection. Visceral obesity was defined as VFA≥130 cm2. The percentage of visceral fat area in total abdominal fat area (V%=VFA/TFA), the ratio of visceral fat area to subcutaneous fat area (V/S=VFA/SFA) and the percentage of visceral obesity were calculated.
Results:
TFA and VFA in EH group were higher than those in PA group matched by age, gender, and body mass index (BMI, all

Pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma(PPGL) was a kind of neuroendocrine tumor that derived from chromaffin tissue, which seems to be an important etiology of secondary hypertension. With the development of molecular detection technology, at least 17 kinds of pathogenic genes of PPGL has been discovered, which is related to 35%-40% PPGL, and about 40% malignant PPGL is associated with SDHB gene mutation. In this study, we reported a case with a novel splicing mutation of SDHB gene induced paraganglioma.
