Objective: To explore the moderating role of estradiol in the relationship between parenting styles and preschool children's behavioral problems, so as to provide a theoretical basis for improving the development of human s emotional health development in early life stage. Methods: During September to November in 2022, 354 children aged 3-6 years and their parents from two kindergartens in Bengbu City were chosen by using stratified cluster sampling method for the questionnaire survey. The Parenting Style Scale and the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) were used to collect information on parenting style and child behavioral problems. Salivary estradiol of children was collected and tested. Independent samples t test was applied to compare the scores of the scale for parental up bringing and children s behavioral problems, and Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to explore the relationship among parental upbringing, estradiol and children s behavioral problems. Results: Parents doting, laissez faire, autocratic, and inconsistent parenting styles were positive associated with child behavior problems( r =0.14-0.70); fathers democratic parenting style was negatively associated with child behavior problems( r =-0.14，-0.22，-0.21，-0.17，-0.27，-0.20); mothers democratic parenting styles was negatively correlated with scores on all five dimensions of child behavior problems except the withdrawal dimension ( r =-0.14，-0.12，-0.13，-0.21，-0.12)( P <0.05). Estradiol levels had significant moderating effects on maternal doting parenting style and children s withdrawal ( β =0.68) as well as social problems ( β =-1.00), also moderating laissez faire parenting styles and children s withdrawal problems ( β =0.75)( P <0.05). For children with low levels of estradiol, withdrawal problem scores were negatively associated with mother s doting parenting style and positively associated with laissez faire parenting style, and socialization problem scores were associated with mother s doting parenting style; for children with high levels of estradiol, withdrawal problem scores were positively associated with mother s doting parenting style, and socialization problem scores were associated with mother s doting parenting style ( t=2.84, 6.24, 3.16 , 2.37, 4.49, P <0.05). Conclusions Parenting styles are strongly associated with child behavioral problems; estradiol levels play a moderating role in mothers doting, laissez faire parenting styles and children s withdrawal problems and social problems.Parents should adopt more positive parenting styles and focus on the role of estradiol levels in maternal education to reduce the occurrence of behavioral problems in children.

Objective:To analyze the changes in self-efficacy and its influencing factors in type 2 diabetic patients after community-based self-management group intervention.Methods:From August to November 2014, a 3-month community-based self-management intervention study of type 2 diabetes patients was implemented in Fangshan District, Beijing. 510 patients were recruited through posters, household inquiries and telephone notification and then were randomly divided into intervention group (260 patients) and control group (250 patients). Finally, 500 patients completed the study, including 259 in the intervention group and 241 in the control group. Self-efficacy score was measured through face-to-face interview at different time points, including pre-intervention, post-intervention, 2 years after the intervention and 5 years after the intervention, respectively. A two-level random coefficient model was fitted to analyze the long-term trend of self-efficacy and its relationship with group intervention.Results:Individual-level educational attainment, disease duration as well as their treatment plans had a positive correlation with self-efficacy of type 2 diabetic patients while gender and age did not affect their self-efficacy. Patients with junior middle school education, senior high school education and university and above education had 4.66 ( P<0.05), 6.40 ( P<0.05) and 11.02 ( P<0.05) points higher than those with primary education, respectively. The self-efficacy of diabetic patients increased by 0.23 ( P<0.05) for each additional course year. The effect of treatment plan on self-efficacy was mainly reflected in the self-efficacy of taking medication or insulin injection as prescribed and blood glucose monitoring. After controlling for the confounding factors, i.e., gender, age, disease duration, educational attainment, and treatment plan, self-efficacy scores at the post-intervention increased in both groups compared to those at the pre-intervention. The intervention group had 7.95 points higher than the control group ( P<0.05). After the intervention, the self-efficacy scores of both groups decreased year by year while the intervention group declined faster, with 5.41 points ( P<0.05) at 2 years after the intervention and 8.94 points ( P<0.05) at 5 years after the intervention. Conclusion:Community-based self-management group intervention could improve the self-efficacy of type 2 diabetic patients while the self-efficacy decreases year by year in the absence of follow-up intervention.

Objective:To screen T-cell exhaustion-related signature genes as the prognostic marker for osteosarcoma and establish a prognostic model for osteosarcoma patients based on weighted gene co-expression network analysis(WGCNA)and Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)-COX regression analysis. Methods:GSE21257 dataset was downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)database for the establishment of the prognostic model for osteosarcoma.4 T-cell exhaustion-related gene sets were downloaded from The Molecular Signatures Database(MisgDB)and their enrichment scores in GSE21257 samples were calculated by single sample gene set enrichment analysis(ssGSEA).WGCNA was carried out to screen the gene module that is highly associated with T-cell exhaustion based on ssGSEA results followed by GO(Gene Ontology)and KEGG(Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes)analysis of the biological processes and signaling transduction pathways that those genes are involved in.The signature genes that are highly associated with the prognosis of osteosarcoma patients were obtained through LASSO-COX regression and a prognostic model was established based on these signature genes.Osteosarcoma-related expression profile data from the GSE21257 and TAEGET datasets on XENA were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus.Clinical information for the training and validation sets was obtained.T-cell exhaustion-related genes were screened using a weighted correlation network analysis.Realtime fluorescence quantitative PCR,COX regression analysis,external dataset and nomogram were used to evaluate the reliability and accuracy of the prognostic model.A immunotherapy-related dataset was used to assess the efficacy of this prognostic model for the prediction of patients'responses to immunotherapy. Results:Analysis results based on the ssGSEA scores showed that T-cell exhaustion-related genes were related to the metastasis and age of osteosarcoma patients.Many T-cell exhaustion-related genes were found to be differentially expressed in metastatic and non-metastatic osteosarcoma patients.1 256 T-cell exhaustion-related genes were identified through WGCNA and these candidate markers were mainly distributed in structures like secretory granule membranes and endocytic vesicles and were involved in T-cell activation.COX regression analysis screened 68 significant prognostic markers out of the 1 256 genes,and 12 signature genes were further confirmed with LASSO-COX regression analysis.A prognostic model was established based on the 12 signature genes.Results of real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR showed a similar trend in the expression of most of the signature genes in different osteosarcoma cell lines.COX regression analysis of the internal and external datasets verified that the risk score calculated with the prognostic model was an independent prognostic factor for osteosarcoma patients,and high-risk score was associated with poor prognosis of the patients.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves demonstrated excellent prognostic efficacy of the model.Nomogram analysis verified the prognostic model is highly accurate and reliable in predicting the prognosis of osteosarcoma patients.Analysis using the immunotherapy-related dataset indicated that this prognostic model could also be used to predict patients'responses to immunotherapy. Conclusion:The 12 signature gene(CD300LB,TRO,SNX3,VENTX,PPM1M,DOT1L,CDC37,NAT9,TRMT1,PPP1R3C,CHTF18 and NSUN5)-based prognostic model can effectively predict the prognosis and responses to immune check-point inhibitors for osteosarcoma patients,which may provide evidence for the prediction of prognosis as well as the selection of immunotherapy plans in clinical practice.

Mitochondria are the main site of energy metabolism in cardiomyocytes， and at the same time mediate apoptosis and immune response， so mitochondrial dysfunction is closely related to the development of heart failure. Combined with the pathogenesis of mitochondrial dysfunction and heart failure， it is proposed that the mitochondrial function is similar to "sweat pore - collaterals - zang and fu organs"， according to which the treatment of heart failure is based on the theory of "sweat pore - collaterals - zang and fu organs". It is believed that the core mechanism of heart failure is qi deficiency， and qi deficiency leads to the weakness of the sweat pore opening and closing， or even the sweat pore closure， then resulting in qi deficiency and blood stasis， collaterals stagnation fail to flourish， and qi， blood， and body fluids can not infiltrate and nourish zang-fu organs， so that the heart fail to be nourished， and the disease will develop. The treatment should be based on the method of boosting qi and opening sweat pore， using acridity to unblock the collaterals， and invigorating blood and draining water， with medicinal of boosting qi， invigorating blood， and draining water as treatment.
