Objective To explore the relationship among peer relationship,self-consciousness and social anxiety in HIV-infected children. Methods Peer Relationship Scale,Piers-Harris Children's Self-con-cept Scale and Social Anxiety Scale for Children were applied to 126 HIV-infected children. Results The score of peer relationship was 53. 0(45. 0,62. 0),the score of self-concept was 52. 0(42. 0,60. 0),and the score of social anxiety was 6. 0(2. 0,9. 0). Peer relationship was positively correlated with social anxiety( r=0. 196,P=0. 029) and negatively correlated with self-consciousness(r=-0. 628,P<0. 01). Self-conscious-ness was negatively correlated with social anxiety(r=-0. 504,P<0. 01). Bootstrap analysis showed that self-consciousness played a complete mediating role between peer relationship and social anxiety,and the media-ting effect value was 0. 377. Conclusion Peer relationship,self-consciousness and social anxiety are closely related. Furthermore,self-consciousness plays a complete mediating role between peer relationship and social anxiety in HIV-infected children.

Objective:To investigate the differential gene expression profiling between subcutaneous fat (SF) and orbital septum fat (OF).Methods:Six samples of SF tissue were collected from patients undergoing abdomen or thigh liposuction, and six samples of OF tissue were collected from patients undergoing double eyelid or pouch surgery in Chongqing Xing Rong Plastic Surgery Hospital from May 2022 to June 2022. Transcriptional characteristics of SF and OF were compared by RNA sequencing. The gene expression differences between SF and OF were analyzed by bioinformatics methods. The differences in gene expression were verified by real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR).Results:Principal component analysis (PCA) showed the SF and OF groups were obviously separated as two independent gene clusters. The volcano plot analysis displayed the upregulated genes (such as FOXL2 and FOXL2NB), or the downregulated genes (such as DEFB132 and HOXB3) in SF group compared to those in OF group. Besides, the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network revealed the top 3 upregulated hub genes in SF group (MYH7, TCAP and MYL2) and in OF group (SOX9, WNT1 and WNT2). Heatmap analysis based on the above PPI showed that the two groups of upregulated genes were clustered and separated obviously. In addition, the signaling pathway analysis revealed that cardiomyopathy, muscle contraction and AMPK pathway were enriched in the SF group, while Wnt singling and cancer-related pathway were enriched in OF group. Finally, the qRT-PCR showed that SOX9 ( P<0.001) and WNT2 ( P<0.001) were upregulated, while DEFB132 ( P<0.001) and HOXB3 ( P<0.01) were downregulated in OF group compared to SF group, respectively. Conclusions:Compared to SF group, SOX9 and WNT2 are regulated, while DEFB132 and HOXB3 are downregulated in OF group. The differentially expressed genes in OF may be the key factors mediating its unique physiological features.
