Recent studies have shown that multiple myeloma (MM) is preceded by a premalignant state called monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM).Some of the genetic changes of MM are also present in MGUS and SMM,including chromosomal translocations,copy number changes,somatic mutations and so on.This article discusses the genetic heterogeneity.

Objective To study the correlation between alopecia areata and the susceptibility genes identified in our previous study with Han Chinese population. Methods The study performed an independent replication study using 736 cases and 1 840 controls. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes by salting out with saturat-ed NaCl solution according to standard methods. The evidence for association had been obtained from former gene study. Then a fine-mapping study and genotyped the locus with an additional 17 SNPs were performed. Data were analyzed with the use of Plink 1. 07 software. Results Only one SNP achieved nominal significance, rs3087243 (P = 0. 041, OR = 1. 18, 95% CI = 1. 01 ~ 1. 38). The other 16 genes (TLR1, DMBT1, CHIT1, GBP4, CIITA, IL31RA, CD96, INPPL1, MASP2, IL-13, KIAA0350, PTPN22, SPATA5, TRAF1 / C5, IL1A, IL2R) failed. A further stratification analysis of alopecia areata was adopted, including the analysis of family history, the age of on-set and the severity of alopecia areata. The stratification analysis revealed that the age of onset > 20 years achieved nominal significance P < 0. 05 for one SNP, rs2416808 (P = 0. 018, OR = 1. 35, 95% CI = 1. 05 ~ 1. 74), where-as, the other results were of no statistical significance. Conclusion The results indicate that 17 SNPs may not be associated with AA in Han Chinese population. Further study should be performed in a larger Han Chinese sam-ples.

Objective To examine the relationships between a number of potential risk or protective factors and the risk of depression and anxiety among a population of adolescent elite athletes in Guangzhou city. Methods A whole sample was consisted of 520 students,and the information of their age,gender,characteristics and others was investigated. Anxiety and depression were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scales(HADS). Data were analyzed using multiple stepwise regression analysis. Results After adjusting for other variables,students who had a high risk of anxiety were underweight (sβ =2.482) when compared to those who were of normal weight. Reduced risk of anxiety was associated with older students ( sβ = 4. 365), students with moderate educated mothersβ=3. 153) , and students who perceived very high pressure from teachers/coaches (sβ=5.372). A significant increase in the risk of depression was associated with variables including: students aged between 15 and 16 years(sβ =3.367) ,students who had a family history of chronic diseases (sβ =2.765) , and poor overall support(sβ = 4.365). Reduced risk of depression was associated with students with moderate educated mothers( sβ = 6.764) and students who perceived very high pressure from teachers/coaches(sβ = 4. 167). Conclusion Various risk and protective factors have been identified for anxiety and depression. These results have direct implications on the development of appropriate preventive strategies for mental problems among young elite athletes.
