OBJECTIVE:
To diagnose a 46,XN,del(11)(q14q22) fetus by non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), karyotype analysis and whole genome sequencing (WGS).
METHODS:
Peripheral blood sample of the gravida was taken for NIPT screening. Blood samples of the gravida, her husband, and umbilical cord blood were also taken for chromosome karyotyping and whole genome sequencing (WGS).
RESULTS:
NIPT screening indicated the fetus has carried partial deletion of chromosome 11, while no chromosomal abnormality was found with the cord blood sample due to the low resolution of G-banding analysis. WGS analysis of the cord blood indicated 46,XN,del(11q14.3q22.1). seq[GRCh37/hg19] (90 623 404-97 469 319)×1, 6.85 Mb. The karyotype of the fetus was eventually determined as 46,XN,del(11)(q14q22). Karyotyping analysis suggested that the gravida and her husband were 46,XX,del(11)(q14q22)[8]/46,XX[92] and 46,XY, respectively. However, neither of them was found to harbor the del(11)(q14q22) by WGS.
CONCLUSION
The abnormal karyotype of the fetus has derived from its mother's low percentage mosaicism. Combined NIPT, karyotyping analysis and WGS can detect chromosomal disorders with accuracy.

Objective:
Self-determination theory (SDT) deems that people have three causality orientations: autonomy orientation, control orientation, and impersonal orientation. Previous studies suggested that lower autonomy orientation or higher control and impersonal orientations may be associated with more addictive behaviors. Our study aimed to investigate if these associations exist in Internet gaming disorder (IGD), and if sensation seeking, anxiety, and depression could influence the associations between causality orientations and IGD symptoms.
Methods:
A total of 1,400 college students completed the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale, General Causality Orientation Scale, Brief Sensation Seeking Scale, Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale, and Patient Health Questionnaire. Correlation, multiple linear regressions, structural equation model (SEM) analyses, and moderation analyses were conducted to explore the associations.
Results:
The control and impersonal orientations were positively associated with IGD symptoms, while the autonomy orientation was negatively associated with them. Moreover, SEM analyses showed that the autonomy-IGD relationship was totally mediated by anxiety and depression, the impersonal-IGD relationship was partially mediated by anxiety, and the control-IGD relationship was partially mediated by depression. Finally, the effects of causality orientations on IGD were moderated by sensation seeking.
Conclusion
Overall, autonomy orientation is linked to fewer gaming problems, whereas control and impersonal orientations are associated with more gaming problems. Moreover, the relationships between causality orientations and IGD symptoms are mediated by anxiety and depression and moderated by sensation seeking. Our findings inform theory on the motivations of gaming behaviors and may shed light on the prevention and intervention of IGD from the perspective of SDT.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of ADRB2 gene regulatory region polymorphism on the efficacy of short-acting beta 2 receptor agonists (SABA) in the treatment of acute asthma attack in children. METHODS A total of 127 children with acute mild to moderate bronchial asthma who received SABA treatment for 7 days in the General Hospital of Northern Theater Command from October 2016 to October 2020 were selected to detect their genotype distribution and compare the improvement of pulmonary functional indicators and curative effect among different genotypes. The effect of the high-order interaction of gene polymorphism on therapeutic effect was investigated. RESULTS Among 127 children, there were 80, 44 and 3 cases of TT, TA and AA types at locus rs2895795, 93, 32 and 2 cases of CC, CG and GG types at locus rs11168070, and 41, 64 and 22 cases of GG, GA and AA types at locus rs12654778, respectively, in accordance with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P>0.05). After treatment, the improvement rate of the peak expiratory flow in percent predicted value (PEF%pred) and the improvement rate of the forced expiratory flow at 75% vital capacity in percent predicted value (FEF75%pred) in children with TA type were significantly lower than that of TT type at locus rs2895795 (P<0.05); the improvement rates of PEF%pred and FEF75%pred in children with CG type were significantly lower than that of CC type at locus rs11168070 (P<0.05); the improvement rates of PEF%pred in children with GA and AA type were significantly lower than that of GG type at locus rs12654778 (P<0.05). The differences in fractional exhaled nitric oxide before and after treatment were not statistically significant among different genotypes at each locus (P>0.05). The proportion of remarkable improvement of children with TT type at locus rs2895795 was 2.358 times that of children with TA+ AA type (P<0.05), and there was no significant effect of higher-order interaction of ADRB2 polymorphism on the efficacy in children with asthma (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Polymorphisms in the regulatory region of the ADRB2 gene in children with bronchial asthma are associated with the efficacy of SABA in the treatment of acute asthma attack in children. At locus rs2895795, rs11168070 and rs12654778, the improvement of lung function of children with wild-type is more obvious, and the efficacy of SABA treatment on children with TT type is better at locus rs2895795.

BackgroundWith the rapid development of the networking technologies, internet addiction has increasingly become a serious mental health issue. Previous studies have revealed the link between childhood trauma and internet addiction, while the mediating role of perceived stress in this link is not yet clear. ObjectiveTo investigate the role of medical students' perceived stress in the relationship between childhood trauma and internet addiction, so as to provide references for the intervention of internet addiction. MethodsFrom February to March 2023, a random sampling technique was used to select 1 232 undergraduate students from the School of Clinical Medical Sciences of Southwest Medical University as research subjects. The Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form (CTQ-SF), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Internet Gaming Disorder Scale (IGDS), and Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS) were used for assessment. Pearson's correlation coefficients were calculated. The mediation effect of perceived stress in the relationship between childhood trauma and internet addiction was tested using Model 4 in the SPSS Process 4.1, and Bootstrapping procedure involving 5 000 replicates was employed to confirm the statistical significance. ResultsA total of 1 016 (82.47%) valid completed questionnaires were gathered. The CTQ-SF scores of medical students were positively correlated with PSS scores, IGD scores, and BSMAS scores (r=0.583, 0.474, 0.465, P<0.01). PSS scores were positively correlated with IGD scores and BSMAS scores (r=0.369, 0.479, P<0.01). Childhood trauma in medical students was found to positively predict perceived stress (β=0.191, P<0.01), social media addiction (β=0.160, P<0.01), and internet gaming disorder (β=0.106, P<0.01). Perceived stress played a significant mediating role in the relationship between childhood trauma and internet gaming disorder, indirect effect value was 0.018 (95% CI: 0.009~0.027), accounting for 16.98%. Perceived stress also exhibited a significant mediating role in the relationship between childhood trauma and social media addiction, indirect effect value was 0.063 (95% CI: 0.048~0.079), accounting for 39.38%. ConclusionChildhood trauma in medical students may affect internet gaming disorder and social media addiction through perceived stress.

【Objective】 Corin, a transmembrane serine protease that can cleave atrial natriuretic peptide precursor (pro-ANP) into atrial natriuretic peptide with smaller bioactive molecules, participates in the pathophysiological process of hypertension and cardiac hypertrophy. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship of Corin gene variation with blood pressure responses to sodium and potassium dietary interventions. 【Methods】 In 2004, we recruited 514 participants from 124 families in 7 villages of Baoji, Shaanxi Province, China. All the subjects received a 3-day normal diet, a 7-day low-salt diet, a 7-day high-salt diet, and finally a 7-day high-salt and potassium supplementation. Fifteen single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of Corin gene were selected for final analysis. 【Results】 SNPs rs12509275 were significantly associated with diastolic blood pressure (DBP) response to low-salt diet, while rs3749584 was associated with pulse pressure (PP) response to low-salt diet.SNP rs3749584 and rs10517195 were significantly associated with PP response to high-salt diet. In addition,rs17654278 were significantly associated with systolic blood pressure (SBP) response to high-salt and potassium supplementation, rs2271037 was significantly correlated with DBP responses to high-salt and potassium supplementation, and rs4695253, rs12509275, rs2351783, rs36090894 were significantly associated with PP response to high-salt and potassium supplementation. 【Conclusion】 Corin gene polymorphisms were associated with blood pressure response to sodium and potassium, suggesting that Corin gene may be involved in pathophysiological process of salt sensitivity and potassium sensitivity.
