Objective:To investigate the effect of ubiquitin binding enzyme 2T (UBE2T) on the radiosensitivity of lung adenocarcinoma and unravel its possible mechanism.Methods:A total of 45 patients pathologically diagnosed with different stages of lung adenocarcinoma and treated with radiotherapy in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University from March, 2019 to December, 2021 were enrolled, and the efficacy was evaluated according to response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST1.1). All patients were divided into radiosensitive group ( n=25) and radioresistant group ( n=20). Radiosensitive group was complete remission (CR)+partial remission (PR), and radioresistant group was stable disease (SD) + progression disease (PD). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to calculate the score based on the staining intensity and the number of positive cells. Chi-square test was combined to analyze the correlation between the expression level of UBE2T in paraffin specimens of lung adenocarcinoma patients and the radiosensitivity of patients. Lentivirus UBE2T-interfered (UBE2Tsh) A549 and UBE2T-overexpressed SPC-A-1 lung adenocarcinoma cells and their respective controls were constructed for irradiation and colony formation assay. The survivor fraction curve was fitted by single-hit multi-target model. The DNA double-strand break (DSB) marker γH2AX foci were detected by immunofluorescence (IF). The expression levels of UBE2T, γH 2AX and Rad51 proteins were detected by Western blot. Cell cycle and apoptosis rate of A549 were determined by flow cytometry. Binary variables were statistically analyzed by Fisher's exact probability method and measurement data were assessed by t-test. Results:High-expression level of UBE2T was correlated with the radiosensitivity of lung adenocarcinoma patients ( P<0.05). UBE2Tsh improved the radiosensitivity of A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells, and the sensitizing enhancement ratio (SER) was 1.795. UBE2T overexpression decreased the radiosensitivity of SPC-A-1 lung adenocarcinoma cells with an SER of 0.293. γH2AX foci number per cell were significantly increased in UBE2Tsh A549 cells after irradiation ( P<0.01) . Compared with the control group, the expression level of γH2AX protein was up-regulated ( P<0.01)and that of Rad51 protein was down-regulated in UBE2Tsh A549 cells after radiation ( P<0.001). Compared with the control group, the expression level of γH2AX protein was down-regulated ( P<0.05) and that of Rad51 protein was up-regulated in UBE2T overexpressed SPC-A-1 cells ( P<0.001). The proportion of UBE2Tsh A549 cells in G 2 phase was decreased ( P<0.01) and cell apoptosis was increased ( P<0.001). Conclusions:UBE2T might promote the radioresistance of lung adenocarcinoma cells by enhancing DNA DSB repair induced by radiotherapy, inducing cell cycle G 2 phase arrest, and reducing cell apoptosis.

To determine the impact of Cysticercus cellulose (C. cellulose) infection on mental health among school-aged children in Tibetan agricultural areas of Sichuan Province.
Methods: In October 2015, all primary schools located in Tibetan agricultural areas in Yajiang, Ruoergai, and Muli county of Sichuan Province were selected as the research sites. All school-aged children at five- and six-grade were enrolled for the study by a multistage stratified cluster sampling method. Antibodies against C. cellulose were detected. Mental Health Test and questionnaire survey were conducted for school-aged children to collect data. The impact of C. cellulose infection on mental health among school-aged children was analyzed with the multilevel linear regression.
Results: A total of 2 453 school-aged children were investigated. The C. cellulose seropositive rate was 6.03% (148/2 453). There were 0.16% (4/2 453) patients with seropositive accompanied by seizure, 2.28% (56/2 453) with seropositive accompanied by headache, 2.08% (51/2 453) with seropositive accompanied by frequent weak, and 0.41% (10/2 453) were seropositive accompanied by frequent nausea. The rate of C. cellulose infection was 4.53% (111/2 453). The mean score of the mental health test was 6.59±2.61. There were significant difference in score of mental health test in children whose demographic characteristics were different. The mental health scores of school-aged children were clustered at the school level. After controlling the factors of demographic characteristics, the result of multilevel model demonstrated that the factor of school-aged children with C. cellulose seropositive accompanied by headache was statistically significant (β=1.14, P=0.017).
Conclusion: The status of C. cellulose infection among school-aged children in Tibetan agricultural areas is not optimistic. C. cellulose infection has impacted on mental health of local school-aged children. It is necessary to strengthen the prevention and control of C. cellulose infection in epidemic area.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the status of maternal health behaviors and it's risk factors for Yi-nationality women in poor rural areas of Sichuan province.
METHODSIn 2012, multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method was used to select 14 villages of two poor counties in Liangshan Yi-nationality autonomous prefecture Sichuan province. At least 10 women who have infants aged 0-12 months were selected in each simple villages, a total of 284. The structured questionnaire was developed on the basis of the theory of reasoned action. Yi-nationality female college students were trained as investigators. Research indicators included prenatal care rate, hospital delivery rate, postpartum examination rate, socio-demographic characteristics, maternal health care knowledge. χ² test was used to compare the differences of above indicators among different groups. The structural equation model were used to statistical analyze.
RESULTSIn the 284 subject women, 51.7% (147/284) women owned more than 2 children, 41.6% (118/284) women were more than 30 years old, 87.3% (248/284) women were illiteracy. The prenatal care rate was 69.7% (197/284), the hospital delivery rate was 26.8% (76/284), and the postnatal check rate was 22.9% (65/284). The influence factors of maternal health behaviors included the number of children, age and education (χ² were 10.92, 13.24, 9.58; P values were 0.027, 0.004, 0.008, respectively).The structural equation model analysis results showed that the maternal health behaviors were directly or indirectly affected by subjective norms (β = 0.236, P < 0.001), women's cognition (β = 0.226, P = 0.020) and women's attitudes on maternal health behavior (β = 0.157, P = 0.001). Among subjective norms, women have high compliance to their husbands (β = 0.850, P < 0.001), their peers (β = 0.708, P < 0.001), and their mothers-in-law (β = 0.636, P < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONThere were still serious problems in maternal health behaviors for Yi-nationality women in poor rural areas. The main factors included not only the women's cognition and attitudes for maternal health, but also the attitudes of important social relationships.
