Objective:To explore the characteristic of parenting style and its relationship with self congruence in Tibet middle school students.Methods:Totally 1149 Tibet students in 2 middle schools were investigated by the Scale of EMBU (Egma Minnen av Bardndosnauppforstran)and SCCS (Self Consistency and Congruence Scale) from counties resided mainly by Tibet people.Results:The total average scores of Tibet students'self-congruence were lower than the median[(2.8 ± 0.3) < median 3].There was no significant difference between genders [(2.6 ±0.3)vs.(2.7 ±0.4),P >0.05],and the scores of self flexibility had statistical significant difference in gender [(2.9 ±0.5)vs.(2.8 ±0.5),P <0.05].The scores of parenting style in positive elements were negatively correlated with self congruence in Tibet middle school students (r =-0.20,P <0.01 ).Multi-linear regression showed that the element of maternal emotion and understanding had negative relevance with SCCS(β=-0.16,P <0.01),while the element of maternal rejection and denial had positive relevance with SCCS(β=0.16,P <0.01) .Conclusion:It indicates that the level of self-congruence is higher than median,and that parenting style might have a certain relationship with self congruence in Tibet middle school students.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between rs4373814 polymorphisms of calcium channel (CACNB2) gene and the susceptibility of essential hypertension (EH) occurrence in Han population at northeastern area of China. Methods: A case-control study in Han population at northeastern of China was carried out and the research included 1998 participants as 2 groups: EH group,n=1006 patients treated in our hospital, and Control group,n=992 subjects with normal blood pressure from physical examination. The rs4373814 polymorphisms were examined by Snapshot technique and the statistical analysis was performed by SPSS 19.0 software. Results: The rs4373814 risk allele C frequency of CACNB2 gene was signiifcantly different between EH group and Control group,P=0.039, OR=1.068, 95% CI (1.004-1.137). Logistic regression analysis showed that with adjusted gender, age, BMI, smoking, drinking, in dominant model, the genotype rs4373814 carring CC + GC/GG obviously increased the risk of EH occurrence,P=0.037, OR=1.260, 95% CI (1.013-1.567). Conclusion: The rs4373814 polymorphisms of CACNB2 gene are related to the susceptibility of EH occurrence in Han population at northeastern area of China.

Methylmalonic aciduria (MMA) is a common inherited autosomal recessive disorder resulting from defects in the enzyme methylmalonyl CoA mutase (MCM, mut complementation group) or in the synthesis of the MCM cofactor adenosylcobalamin (cbl complementation groups). The defects in the mut complementation group accounts for the largest number of patients with isolated MMA. At least 200 mutations in the MUT gene on chromosome 6p12 have been identified in MMA patients until now. This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics of MMA and genomic variations in the MUT gene of Chinese patients. Genomic DNA was extracted from 18 patients who were diagnosed as having isolated MMA by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and from some of their parents as well. Amplification and direct sequencing of the MUT coding regions (exon 2-13) and their adjacent intronic consensus splice sites were performed in order to identify the disease causing mutations. In this group, six novel mutations in the MUT gene, c.424A>G (p.T142A), c.786T>G (p.S262R), c.808G>C (p.G270R), c.1323_1324insA, c.1445-1G>A and c.1676+77A>C were identified. p.T142A and p.G270R were respectively detected at a heterozygous level in one patient. Two previously reported mutations, c.682C>T (p.R228X) and c.323G>A (p.R108H) were also found in this study. In addition, six previously described single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), c.636A>G (p.K212K), c.1495G>A (p.A499T), c.1595A>G (p.H532R), c.1992G>A (p.A664A), c.2011G>A (p.V671I) and c.1677-53A>G were identified. In this study, we updated the spectrum of MUT mutations and identified the main MMA-causing mutations in Chinese MMA patients.

Background and objective Lung cancer is the malignant tumor with the highest incidence rate and the heaviest disease burden in China.In recent years,lung cancer has shown a high incidence trend,seriously affecting the health of the population.In this paper,we analyze the characteristics of lung cancer incidence in 2019 and the trend of incidence rate from 2010-2019 in the tumor registration area of Gansu province,in order to provide a reference basis for the development of lung cancer prevention and control strategies in Gansu province.Methods By analyzing the cases of lung cancer incidence in the tumor registration area of Gansu province in 2019,we calculated the incidence rate,medium incidence rate,world in-cidence rate and other related indexes;we used Joinpoint to calculate the annual percentage change(APC)for trend analysis.Results In 2019,a total of 3757 new cases of lung cancer were reported in Gansu province,accounting for 14.96%of all new malignant tumors.The incidence rate,medium incidence rate and world incidence rate and world rate of lung cancer were 40.52/105,25.78/105,25.86/105;and the cumulative rate of 0-74 years old,and the truncation rate of 35-64 years old were 3.23%,40.03/105,respectively.The incidence of lung cancer rises with age,and is high in the age group of 40 years and above,and the incidence peaks in the male and female populations in the group of 75 years and above,and the group of 80 years and above,respectively.The crude incidence rate of lung cancer in the tumor registration area of Gansu province from 2010-2019 showed an overall increasing trend,and the rate of increase was relatively fast,with an APC 5.39%(P<0.05);Separately,accord-ing to gender,urban and rural areas,the incidence of lung cancer in all populations showed an increasing trend,and the APC of male,female,urban and rural populations were 4.98%,6.39%,6.26%,and 4.64%,respectively(all P<0.05).According to the trend analysis of lung cancer incidence rate by age group,only lung cancer incidence in the age group of 65 years and above increased at an annual average rate of 4.15%(P<0.05).Conclusion The incidence rate of lung cancer in the tumor registration area of Gansu province from 2010 to 2019 shows a rising trend year by year,and there are differences in the incidence of lung cancer in people of different genders,regions and age groups,so comprehensive prevention and control work should be carried out for the key populations of lung cancer incidence.

AIM: To investigate the sensitization of flavonoids from Tetrastigma hemsleyanum (FTH) on gefitinib (GEF)-resistant lung adenocarcinoma cells. METHODS: The viabilities of A549 and A549/GR cells treated with FTH and GEF were detected by MTT method. The apoptotic rates and cell cycles of A549/GR cells treated with FTH and GEF were detected by Flow cytometry. The anti-tumor effects of flavonoids from FTH and GEF were assayed in A549/GR tumor-bearing mice. The expressions of proteins (PTEN, PI3K, p-PI3K, AKT, p-AKT) were detected by Western blot analysis. RESULTS: Compared with GEF group, FTH significantly enhanced the inhibition of GEF on the proliferation of A549/GR cells (P< 0.05). Combination with FTH and GEF significantly increased the apoptosis of A549/GR cells which were arrested at the G
