Objective To find out parental locus of control and mental health affecting students test anxiety. Methods The samples were from 5 middle schools including 1000 students,and their parents. They were investigated with the general life scales, Sarason's test anxiety scale, Symptom checklist 90 (SCL-90)and Parenting Locus of Control Scale(PLOC). Results The ratio of test anxiety: the mild was 28.8%, moderate was 45.0%, severe was 26.2% ,and felt anxiety was 55.8%. Ratio of test anxiety was higher in the boy students (X2=9.284, P =0.010) ,and heavier(F:16.42±6.70; M:15.18 ±6.51, t=2.716, P=0.007). Student test anxiety was significantly positively correlated with their parental mental health (r fatherl~11=0.166~0.272, Pfather l~11= 0.000;r mother 1~11=0.182~0.242, P mother 1~11= 0.000); Student test anxiety positively correlated with the effectiveness cof parents education, father's belief on the fate, eontrol of fathers for their children, locus of control from fathers (r1~5=0.075~0.143; P1-5=0.000~0.030);felt anxiety positively correlated with self-expect ,pressure from their mothers,over take care attitude from their parents,self-pressure from their parents( r1~6=0.068~0.230; P1-6=0.000~0.050) ,and negatively correlated with respect attitude of parents for their child, Marital relations,Communication time between the students and their parents,attitude of mother for learning( r1-7=-0.074~-0.140;P1~7=0.000~0.034). Felting test anxiety was served as a dependent factor, some factors enter the regression equation,and they were somatization of father, psychotic mother, the pressure from parents, mother over expectations, self-expectations ,the child control from student's father by Logistic regression analysis ( OR1~16=0.675~3.029;P1-6=0.000~0.007). Conclusion Students test anxiety is a common problem in male and female students. Mental health and locus of control from students' parents show test anxiety has somatization of father, psychotic mother, the pressure from parents, mother' expectations,self-expectations, the control of father for the child 6 risk factors.

Objective To discuss family environment and parent's education pattern of violent online games addictive disorder in junior middle school students. Methods From August to December at 2008,6000 students were randomly drown from 8 junior middle schools in Dalian. All subjects were investigated with the self-made internet game survey form and the Chen internet addiction scale (CLAS). 149(2.5% ) internet game addicts were screen out from 6000 students, and then were divided into the violence and entertainment game addicted group (66 students in per group, and the male 55, female 11). No-game group 66 students were matched according tothe sex and the age. All subjects were evaluated with Egma Minnen av Bardndosnauppforstran ( EMBU) and Moss's Family Environment Scale of Chinese version. Results Lower mother's understand and warm were observed in violence internet online game addictive student group than other two groups( (46. 37 ± 13. 93,49. 80 ± 7.13,53. 16 ± 14. 89) , F = 4.88, P<0.01) ,and the mother understand and warm were remarkably lower in the violence online game addictive group than the non-game addicted group(P<0.01) ,and mothers rejection and the denial are obviously higher in entertainment online game addictive group than the non-game group(P = 0. 038). In family environment survey results suggested there were significant different during the 3 groups (F1-3 = 13. 99, 12.24,10.56; P<0.05)in emotion expression(4. 74 ± 1. 32,6. 06 ± 1. 97,5. 80 ± 1. 11) ,and conflict (5. 57 ± 1.85,5.28 ± 1.41,3.63 ± 1.50) .independence (3.96 ± 1. 87,4.56 ± 1.84,4.63 ± 1. 85). In the violence online game addictive group, emotion expression was lower than other two groups (P<0. 01) ,the conflict score was higher than other two groups (P<0.01). The controlling was lower than other two groups ( all P<0. 01) ; family function and total score are lower in online game addictive groups than other groups (P<0. 01, P<0. 05).

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the genetic basis for a child with mental and motor retardation, language impairment, facial dysmorphism and epilepsy.
METHODS:
Whole exome sequencing was carried out to detect pathogenic variant in the proband, and candidate variant was selected based on his phenotype. Sanger sequencing was used to verify the variant in the proband, his parents and other family members.
RESULTS:
The proband was found to carry a frameshifting mutation of MBD5 gene, namely c.2217delT (p.F739Lfs*6), which was inherited from his mother and unreported previously. Sanger sequencing confirmed that his brother carried the same mutation with a similar phenotype. His mother also had poor language expression when she was young, in addition with poor academic performance, though she could do some housework and had no history of convulsion.
CONCLUSION
A novel pathogenic variant of the MBD5 gene was discovered, which has enriched the mutational spectrum of the MBD5 gene. Above discovery has enabled genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis for the family.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the frequency of p16 and p15 gene methylation in multiple myeloma (MM), and its relationship with bone marrow cell apoptosis and clinical outcome.
METHODSTwenty-two patients with MM were studied to detect p16 and p15 gene methylation. Methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP) was used to detect gene methylation, and terminal transferase-mediated dUTP nick end-labeling (TUNEL) was used to detect cell apoptosis.
RESULTSp16 and/or p15 gene methylatoin was detected in 10 of 22 patients (45.4%). There were 3 patients with p16 gene methylation, 9 patients with p15 gene methylation, and 2 patients with both genes methylation. The incidence of methylation of p15 gene was higher than that of p16 gene (P < 0.05). The patients with p16 and/or p15 gene methylation had a delayed cell apoptosis, poor response to chemotherapy, and a short over-all survival (OS).
CONCLUSIONThe methylation of p16 and/or p15 gene plays a key role in MM apoptosis pathogenesis. The patients with both p16 and p15 gene methylation had a poor prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the difference of HRCT imaging features between COVID-19 and the ground-glass opacity(GGO) lesion of early-stage lung carcinoma, standardize the diagnosis and treatment process of ground-glass opacity(GGO) degeneration during the epidemic.Methods:A total of 34 patients with diagnosed COVID-19 who confirmed by positive results of the new coronavirus nucleic acid test were collected as observation group 40 patients with pathologically diagnosed early-stage lung carcinoma whose preoperative HRCT examination showed pure ground glass lesions and received surgical intervention were recruited from the Department of Thoracic Surgery (The First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University) from January 2018 to December 2019 as the control group. The HRCT imaging features of these two groups of patients were compared and statistically analyzed.Results:The HRCT imaging features of the new type of COVID-19 showed significant difference by characteristics of multiple lesions, lesion rapid variation within 3 days, reticular pattern, vacuolar sign and clear boundary compared to the GGO lesion of early-stage lung carcinoma( P<0.05). The chinical and imaging characteristic the sex, age, with pleural effusion or not and the lesion location showed no significant difference between these 2 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Contrast with inert early lung carcinoma lesions, COVID-19 disease developed rapidly. Imaging dynamic examination can provide evidences to distinguish Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia and early-stage lung carcinoma.

Objective To explore the effect of preoperative glucocorticoid on systemic inflammatory indexes and pulmonary inflammation after radical esophagectomy. Methods A total of 44 patients with esophageal cancer treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University from July 2019 to September 2020 were selected and randomly divided into an intervention group and an observation group by random number table. There were 22 patients in the intervention group, including 20 males and 2 females with an average age of 62.86±5.22 years and 22 patients in the observation group, including 19 males and 3 females with an average age of 63.00±6.19 years. Two groups were given thoracoscope-assisted incision via right chest, upper abdomen and left neck. The intervention group was given an intravenous infusion of methylprednisolone 500 mg before induction of anesthesia, and the observation group was given the same dose of normal saline. The second generation cephalosporins were routinely used to prevent infection in the two groups. The levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP), lymphocyte and neutrophil count before operation and 1 day, 3 days and 5 days after operation were recorded and compared between the two groups. Utrecht Pneumonia Scoring System (UPSS) score 1 day after operation, the healing of the surgical incision and the anastomotic leakage within 2 weeks after the operation were evaluated. Results The level of IL-6 in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the observation group at 1 hour and 1 day after operation (both P<0.05). CRP showed significant difference between the two groups 2 days after operation (P=0.044). The white blood cell count in the intervention group was significantly less than that in the observation group 1 day and 3 days after operation (both P<0.05). There was no significant difference in lymphocyte or neutrophil count between the two groups 1 day after operation. There was no significant difference in the rate of non-grade A wound healing or the incidence of anastomotic leakage between the two groups within 2 weeks after operation. The pneumonia score of UPSS in the intervention group was lower than that in the observation group 1 day after operation (P=0.027). Conclusion The use of glucocorticoid before radical esophagectomy can reduce the systemic inflammatory reaction and improve the short-term postoperative pulmonary inflammation. At the same time, no adverse effect on the healing of surgical incision and anastomotic stoma is found, which has certain safety.
