Objective To investigate the relationship between expressions of mismatch repair gene (MSH2) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) as well as their biologic behaviors in gastric carcinoma. Methods The samples obtained from 220 patients with gastric cancer were prepared for tissue chip. Then, the expression of MSH2 and OPG in gastric cancer tissues were detected by in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. Results The positive rate was 57.3% in MSH2 mRNA, 56.4% in OPG mRNA, 59.6% in MSH2 protein and 55.9% in OPG protein. The expressions of MSH2 and OPG were positively associated with TNM stage, invasive depth, vessel invasion, lymph node and distant metastasis, however, they were negatively associated with degree of differentiation. The positive relationship between MSH2 and OPG expressions was found in gastric cancer. The average survival time and 5-year survival time in patients with positive expression of MSH2 or OPG were shorter than those in patients with negative expressions. Conclusions In gastric carcinoma, the expressions of MSH2 and OPG are up-regulated and there is a positive correlation between two genes. Furthermore, the expressions of MSH2 and OPG are related with clinicopathologic fetures. The combination of MSH2 and OPG is useful for examining and predicting outcome of gastric cancer.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors of tuberculosis related health behaviors among college freshmen with health belief model, so as to provide a scientific basis for the intervention of health behaviors among students.Methods:From January to February 2021, the questionnaire survey was conducted among 5 254 college freshmen from 11 universities.The survey included general demographic data, tuberculosis related health behaviors, and tuberculosis related knowledge, disease threat perception and disease policy cognition.The SPSS 23.0 software was used for data analysis, independent sample t-test and one-way ANOVA were used for inter group comparison, and Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of health behavior holding. Results:The total score of tuberculosis related health behaviors among freshmen was 3~12 (11.01±1.10), and the overall holding rate of tuberculosis related health behaviors was higher.Male( B=-0.753, OR(95% CI)=0.471(0.417-0.531)), and tuberculosis history ( B=-1.088, OR(95% CI)=0.337(0.157-0.722)) were risk factors for tuberculosis related health behaviors among freshmen.Birth in city( B=0.117, OR(95% CI)=1.124(0.944-1.338)), father's education level college /undergraduate and above ( B=0.177, OR(95% CI)=1.194(1.024-1.392)), mother's education level high school/secondary school( B=0.356, OR(95% CI)=1.428(1.126-1.810)), college/undergraduate and above( B=0.194, OR(95% CI)=1.214(1.029-1.433)), take the initiative to understand tuberculosis knowledge ( B=0.208, OR(95% CI)=1.231(1.095-1.385)), higher tuberculosis knowledge score ( B=0.088, OR(95% CI)=1.092(1.041-1.145)), higher disease threat perception score ( B=0.082, OR(95% CI)=1.086(1.031-1.144)) and higher disease policy cognition score( B=0.320, OR(95% CI)=1.378(1.265-1.500)) were protective factors for tuberculosis related health behaviors among first-year undergraduates(all P<0.05). Conclusion:The application of health belief model can analyze and explain the influencing factors of tuberculosis-related health behaviors of freshmen, which is helpful to strengthen health education and advocate tuberculosis-related health behaviors.
