Objective:
To understand cognitive behavioral responses of college students in Guangxi at the early stage of COVID-19 regarding, and to provide a basis for schools and government to formulate relevant strategies and measures.
Methods:
An anonymous questionnaire survey was conducted among 69 783 students recruited online from 28 colleges and universities in Guangxi Province, regarding psychological response under public health emergencies.
Results:
Significant associated were found between the total score of COVID-19 knowledge score and factors scores of optimism, fear, avoidance, help and combat in cognitive behavioral response (r=0.15, -0.01, -0.06, -0.03, 0.28, P<0.05). Gender factors had an impact on all the five factors (Z=-13.67, -2.05, -13.31, -7.15, -24.34, P<0.05). Students with higher education levels and medical students had higher score in optimism and lower score in avoidance.Students with limited activities (β=0.38, 0.38, 0.42, P<0.05) and living in a community with infected cases score higher in factor including fear,escape and turning for help (β=0.14, 0.06, 0.15,P<0.05).optimism was negatively associated with fear among students living in a community with infected cases(β=-0.10,P<0.05).
Conclusion
Relevant departments need to strengthen science popularization and education, further improve students’ awareness of the epidemic, take scientific prevention and control measures, guide positive cognition, shape positive behavior, strengthen mental health education, and make preparations for the orderly resumption of school after the epidemic.

Objective:To detect the methylation status of sine oculis homeobox homolog1 (Six1) in patients with gastric cancer and analyze its relationship with the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients.Methods:The tumor and para-cancerous tissues of 148 patients with gastric cancer diagnosed and treated in Aerospace Center Hospital from September 2015 to December 2017 were collected. The methylation-specific PCR method (MSP) was used to detect the methylation status of the Six1 gene, and 100 normal people who underwent gastroscopy biopsy during the same period served as the control group. Univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression model were used to analyze the relationship between Six1 methylation status and clinical pathological characteristics of patients. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to analyze the relationship between Six1 methylation status and prognostic survival in patients with gastric cancer.Results:Six1 gene methylation rate in tumor tissue was lower than that in adjacent tissues or in control group, and the differences were statistically significant: 24.32%(36/148) vs. 89.19%(132/148), 96.00%(96/100)( P<0.05). Univariate analysis showed that Six1 gene methylation rate was higher in patients with tumor diameter <5 cm ( χ2 = 8.79, P = 0.003), TNM stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ ( χ2 = 4.93, P = 0.026), highly differentiated tumor ( χ2 = 8.74, P = 0.013), no lymph node metastasis ( χ2 = 4.64, P = 0.031), no distant metastasis ( χ2 = 4.38, P = 0.036), and no invasion of the serosa ( χ2 = 9.85, P = 0.002), and the differences were statistically significant. Multivariate analysis showed that TNM staging ( OR = 4.397, 95% CI 3.141 - 5.157, P = 0.014), tumor differentiation ( OR = 4.491, 95% CI 3.527 - 6.118, P = 0.007), lymph node metastasis ( OR = 4.208, 95% CI 3.823 - 5.195, P = 0.031), distant metastasis ( OR = 4.225, 95% CI 3.956 - 5.437, P = 0.026), and depth of invasion ( OR = 4.509, 95% CI 3.206 - 5.275, P = 0.011) of patients with gastric cancer were independent risk factors for Six1 gene methylation status. Till to March 2020, the mortality rate of the Six1 gene methylation group was lower than that of the Six1 gene unmethylated group: 44.44%(16/36) vs.71.43% (80/112), the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 8.70, P<0.05). The median survival time of gastric cancer patients with Six1 gene methylation was higher than that of Six1 gene unmethylated (49 months vs. 37 months), and the difference was statistically significant ( P = 0.019). Conclusions:There is unmethylation of Six1 gene in patients with gastric cancer, which may be involved with the occurrence of gastric cancer. Patients′ TNM stage, tumor differentiation degree, and lymph node metastasis are independent risk factors for Six1 gene methylation status in gastric cancer patients. The prognosis of gastric cancer patients with Six1 gene methylation is better.

【Objective】 To analyze the composition of urinary calculi in Longnan, Gansu province, and the relationship between the composition and clinical characteristics of patients, so as to provide reference for the prevention and treatment of this disease. 【Methods】 The composition of 500 cases of urinary calculi hospitalized in our department during Apr. 2021 and Feb.2023 were analyzed using the infrared spectrum stone composition analyzer. The clinical characteristics of the patients were evaluated and analyzed. 【Results】 The male-to-female ration of patients was 2.70∶1. Most patients aged 21 to 60 years (437, 87.4%). Most cases were ureteral calculi (72.8%), followed by renal calculi (22.2%), and bladder calculi (5.0%). There were 166 cases of calcium oxalate calculi, 293 cases of calcium oxalate + carbonated apatite calculi, 24 cases of calcium oxalate + carbonated apatite + hydroxyl apatite calculi, 4 cases of calcium oxalate + calcium bicarbonate calculi, 7 cases of urate calculi, 6 cases of carbonated apatite + struvite calculi. Oxalate calculi were the most common in all age groups, and urate calculi were the most common in the 21 to 40 age group. Calcium oxalate calculi were most common in the ureter (127, 76.5%), significantly higher than in other sites (χ2=3.222, P=0.020). Calcium oxalate + calcium hydrogen phosphate calculi was the least common in the bladder, significantly different from the other parts (χ2=2.092, P=0.037). Magnesium ammonium phosphate hexahydrate and/or calcium carbonate or calcium oxalate calculi were the most common in the kidney (50.0%), significantly different from the other parts (χ2=9.448, P=0.007). 【Conclusion】 In Longnan area, the incidence of urinary calculi is significantly higher in male than in female. Ureteral calculi are mainly composed of calcium oxalate + carbonated apatite and calcium oxalate. According to different risk factors, individual prevention programs should be developed.
