Objective: To investigate the coping strategies and it’s relationship with self- rated health state of military personnel in Tibet. Methods: 490 military personnel in Tibet were assessed by Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire and Self- rated Health Measurement Scale. Results: Military personnel in Tibet adopting positive strategies (23.3%) were more than those adopting negative strategies(16.2%) when facing stresses. The most common coping strategies they adopted were "restraining negative emotion(36.9%)" and "consoling themselve(s41.2%)". The scores of positive coping style had signifi- cant correlation with the scores of three subscales and the total scores of the self- rated health. Conclusion: Different cop- ing strategies have different effects on self- rated health of military personnel in Tibet, and the positive strategies could im- prove their status of self- rated health, but negative ones had contrary effect to health.

Objective To investigate the effect of protein phosphatase 5 (PP5) on lipid metabolism in the PP5 knockout (KO) mice.Methods Male PP5 KO and wild type (WT) mice at the age of 6 weeks were used in this study. In order to study the effect of high fat diet ( HFD) feeding, the body weight was measured.The liver histology was examined by HE and oil red O staining.To further verify PP5 functions in the adipogenesis, in vitro experiment was carried out using mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF).Western blotting and real-time PCR were performed to quantified the expression of lipid metabolism-related genes in the liver tissues.Results Compared with the WT mice, the body weight gain was slower in the KO mice.The size of the lipid droplets was smaller and the quantity was less in the KO mouse liver tissue.In vitro study revealed that the KO mouse MEF cells showed less differentiated adipocytes with smaller lipid droplets than the WT MEF cells.This observation was further confirmed by detecting the expression of adipogenesis-related genes in the HFD liver.The markers of adipocyte differentiation, such as CD36, AP2, PPARγ2, and Glut4, were significantly decreased, while energy expenditure-related markers, such as phosphorylation of GR and expression of UCP1, were significantly increased.Conclusions Protein phosphatase 5 may play a regulatory role in the mouse lipid metabolism through regulating the de-phosphorylation of p-GR and enhancing the expression of UCP1.

Objective:To investigate the effects of laparoscopic total extraperitoneal hernia repair (TEP) on respiratory function and motilin (MOL) in elderly patients with inguinal hernia.Methods:One hundred and twenty elderly patients with inguinal hernia admitted in Chongqing Fengdu People′s Hospital from January 2020 to December 2021 were divided into two groups according to the method of operation, 60 patients who performed laparoscopic preperitoneal hernia repair (TAPP) was enrolled in control group, and 60 patients who performed TEP was enrolled in the study group. The operation index, visual analogue scale (VAS) scores at different time, respiratory function index and gastrin (GAS), MOL levels and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.Results:Compared with the control group, the operation time in the study group was longer, the recovery time was shorter and the VAS scores were lower on the 1st, 3rd and 7th day after operation: (66.36 ± 10.05) min vs. (53.69 ± 8.59) min, (4.09 ± 0.59) d vs. (5.15 ± 1.06) d, (4.49 ± 1.26) scores vs. (5.46 ± 1.48) scores, (3.65 ± 0.58) scores vs. (4.52 ± 0.95) scores, (2.42 ± 0.41) scores vs. (3.54 ± 0.48) scores, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The levels of end-expiratory carbon dioxide pressure (P ETCO 2) and airway pressure (Paw) in the study group at 10, 30 and 90 min postoperatively were higher than those in the control group: (40.66 ± 4.52)mmHg(1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) vs. (37.48 ± 5.26) mmHg, (19.88 ± 1.63) cmH 2O (1 cmH 2O = 0.098 kPa) vs. (16.59 ± 2.15) cmH 2O; (44.65 ± 4.18) mmHg vs. (41.58 ± 4.58) mmHg, (20.49 ± 1.65) cmH 2O vs. (16.95 ± 2.84) cmH 2O; (50.16 ± 3.54) mmHg vs. (45.59 ± 4.65)mmHg, (21.69 ± 1.78) cmH 2O vs. (17.49 ± 2.15) cmH 2O, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The levels of MOL and GAS in the study group at 3 d postoperatively were higher than those in the control group: (396.54 ± 13.58) ng/L vs. (332.52 ± 16.95) ng/L, (118.95 ± 8.95) ng/L vs. (102.58 ± 10.65) ng/L, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Both TEP and TAPP have certain therapeutic effects on the inguinal hernia, but TEP has shorter postoperative recovery time, less pain, less impact on gastrointestinal function, but it will have a certain impact on respiratory function.

Extremely unbalanced data here refers to datasets where the values of independent or dependent variables exhibit severe unbalance in proportions, such as extremely unbalanced case-control ratio, very low incidence rate of disease, heavily censored time-to-event data, and low-frequency or rare variants. In such scenarios, the statistic derived from hypothesis test using the classical statistical method, e.g., logistic regression model and Cox proportional hazard regression model, might deviate from theoretical asymptotic distribution, resulting in inflation or deflation of type I error. With the increased availability and exploration of resources from large-scale population cohorts in genome-wide association study (GWAS), there is a growing demand for effective and accurate statistical approaches to handle extremely unbalanced data in independent and non-independent samples. Our study introduces classical statistical methods in genetic statistics firstly, then, summarizes the failure of classical statistical methods in dealing with extremely unbalanced data through simulation experiments to draw researchers' attention to the extremely unbalanced data in GWAS.

OBJECTIVES:
We performed an updated meta-analysis to clarify the relationship between the CEBPE rs2239633 polymorphism and the childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (CALL) susceptibility.
METHODS:
All the case-control studies were updated on October 5, 2020, through Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) electronic database. The heterogeneity in the study was tested by the Q test and I
RESULTS:
A total of 20 case-control studies were selected, including 7014 patients and 16,428 controls. There was no association of CEBPE rs2239633 polymorphism with CALL (CC vs CT + TT: OR = 1.08, 95% CI = 0.94-1.26; CC + CT vs TT: OR = 1.10, 95% CI = 0.94-1.30; C vs T: OR = 1.02, 95% CI = 0.92-1.13). In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, there is no significant association of this polymorphism and CALL risks among Asian and Caucasian populations in the three genetic models (CC vs CT + TT, CC + CT vs TT, and C vs T).
CONCLUSION
This meta-analysis found no significant association between the CEBPE rs2239633 polymorphism and susceptibility to CALL.

ObjectiveTo genotype Oncomelania hupensis, based on microsatellites, in different snail-bearing environments in Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, for population genetics analysis in order to explore the reasons and influencing factors for the existence or proliferation of snails and to provide scientific basis for effective monitoring and control of snails. MethodsA total of 90 snail samples from three populations were collected in Yaobang Village (YB) and Sanxing Village (SX) in Pinghu City, and Yunhe Farm (YH) in Xiuzhou District, all were selected for snail checking in key snail habitats of Jiaxing City in 2022. DNA of the snails was genotyped and analyzed for population genetics using nine microsatellite loci. ResultsA total of 84 alleles were observed, and the mean number of alleles (Na) was 7.889, 5.667, and 3.778 for YB, SX, and YH respectively; the number of effective alleles (NeA) was 4.807, 3.329, and 2.294, respectively; and the coefficients of inbreeding (FIS) were 0.400, 0.377, and 0.493, respectively. Under the Infinite Allele Model (IAM), the SX and YH might have a recent bottleneck. The NEstimator and LDNe software calculated effective population sizes (Ne) were above 31.9. AMOVA analysis showed that the variation of snails in the three populations mainly existed among individuals, accounting for 41.4% of the total variation. The value of the index of genetic differentiation between populations (FST) was 0.286, indicating a high degree of genetic differentiation. The results of the principal component analysis and phylogenetic tree were consistent, and the three populations were divided into two lineages, YB and SX were one lineage, and YH belonged to another independent lineage. Population history and dynamics analysis showed that the gene flow of the three populations was insufficient, population divergence history indicated that YH might have diverged from SX first, and YB was produced by the contact fusion of SX and YH. ConclusionThe genetic diversity of snail populations in Jiaxing City is generally low, and the snail populations are unstable, with a great degree of genetic differentiation and insufficient gene flow among populations. This study can provide a basis for evaluating the effectiveness of the control of the snail as well as monitoring the trend of the spread of the snail.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formulas have attracted increasing attention worldwide in the past few years for treating complex disease including rheumatoid arthritis. However, their mechanisms are complex and remain unclear. Guan-Jie-Kang (GJK), a prescription modified from "Wu Tou Decoction," was found to significantly relieve arthritis symptoms in rats with adjuvant-induced arthritis after 30-day treatment, especially in the 24 g/kg/day group. By analyzing 1749 targets related to 358 compounds in the five herbs of GJK, we identified the possible anti-arthritis pathways of GJK, including the calcium signaling and metabolic pathways. Bone damage levels were assessed by micro-computed tomography, and greater bone protective effect was observed with GJK treatment than with methotrexate. Receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL)-RANK signaling, which is related to calcium signaling, was significantly regulated by GJK. Moreover, a target metabolomics assay of serum was conducted; 17 metabolic biomarkers showed significant correlations with treatment. An integrated pathway analysis revealed that pyruvate metabolism, purine metabolism, and glycolysis metabolism were significantly associated with the effects of GJK in arthritis treatment. Thus, this study establishes a new omics analytical method integrated with bioinformatics analysis for elucidating the multi-pathway mechanisms of TCM.
