Objective: To study the characteristics of negative physical self of adolescents from Han, Tibet and Yi nationalities.Methods: 990 adolescents from Han (n=455), Tibet (n=345) and Yi (n=190) nationalities were assessed with Negative Physical Self Scale.Results:Generally, adolescents from the three nationalities were satisfied to their own body (average score 1.34?0.37), and there was no interaction between race and sex.The main effect of the race was significant in the total negative physical self and four sub-dimensions (general feature, appearance, fat, thinness).With their negative physical self, appearance and thinness, the Yi were significantly more dissatisfied than those from Han and Tibet nationalities (Yi:1.42?0.03,1.58?0.06,1.05?0.05; Han:1.26?0.02,1.23?0.04,0.89?0.03; Tibet: 1.26?0.03,1.15?0.05,0.88?0.04, P

Proinsulin is the precursor of mature insulin.Proinsulin to insulin ratio reflects the degree of pancreatic β-cell dysfunction and the progression of type 2 diabetes, and may predict the risk of diabetes development.Some variants in susceptibility genes of diabetes are associated with the elevation of proinsulin to insulin ratio.Moreover, several antidiabetic drugs are able to decrease the proinsulin to insulin ratio in patients with type 2 diabetes.Therefore, the proinsulin to insulin ratio may act as a simple and useful indicator in the etiological study, risk prediction, disease progression and therapeutical evaluation in type 2 diabetes.
