Excavating the quantitative trait locus (QTL) associated with rice cooking quality, analyzing candidate genes, and improving cooking quality-associated traits of rice varieties by genetic breeding can effectively improve the taste of rice. In this study, we used the indica rice HZ, the japonica rice Nekken2 and 120 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) populations constructed from them as experimental materials to measure the gelatinization temperature (GT), gel consistency (GC) and amylose content (AC) of rice at the maturity stage. We combined the high-density genetic map for QTL mapping. A total of 26 QTLs associated with rice cooking quality (1 QTL associated with GT, 13 QTLs associated with GC, and 12 QTLs associated with AC) were detected, among which the highest likelihood of odd (LOD) value reached 30.24. The expression levels of candidate genes in the localization interval were analyzed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and it was found that the expression levels of six genes were significantly different from that in parents. It was speculated that the high expression of LOC_Os04g20270 and LOC_Os11g40100 may greatly increase the GC of rice, while the high expression of LOC_Os01g04920 and LOC_Os02g17500 and the low expression of LOC_Os03g02650 and LOC_Os05g25840 may reduce the AC. The results lay a molecular foundation for the cultivation of new high-quality rice varieties, and provide important genetic resources for revealing the molecular regulation mechanism of rice cooking quality.

Combining the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicine on glucolipid metabolism disorders, it is believed that the formation process of glycolipid metabolism disorders can be presented as five states "depression, phlegm-dampness, heat, blood stasis, and deficiency", and the turbid pathogens run through the whole process. Accordingly, the method of "regulating states and removing turbidity" is proposed, which is specifically the method of resolving depression and turbidity, dispelling phlegm-dampness and turbidity, clearing heat and turbidity, dispelling blood stasis and turbidity, and replenishing deficiency and removing turbidity. Combined with the biological basis of glycolipid metabolism disorder, through the analysis of the clinical application of each method and the related mechanism of action, it is clarified that the method of regulating states and resolving turbidity can play a role in improving glycolipid metabolism disorder by regulating lipid metabolism disorder, insulin resistance, bile acid metabolism abnormality, intestinal bacterial flora, and its metabolite abnormality and other mechanisms of action.

Objective:
To explore sex differences in 3D T1texture features in the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and to predict the diagnosis of AD patients of different sex.
Methods:
Seventy-seven AD patients (34 males and 42 females) ,74 amnestic mild cognitive impairment ( aMCI) patients ( 35 males and 39 females) and 75 healthy controls (HC) (35 males and 40 females) were recruited and high-resolution 3-dimensional T1 structural images were collected. Brain regions closely related to AD brain damage were selected as regions of interest ( ROIs) ,texture feature extraction and feature screening were performed.Analyses were performed by sex,and the support vector machine (SVM) was used for classification and prediction.
Results :
In the AD vs HC,AD vs aMCI and aMCI VS HC groups by different sex,we obtained some brain regions with relatively high recognition index in different subgroups,and found that there were significant differences between female patients and male patients with high recognition index,and the recognition index of female patients ( area under the curve,accuracy,sensitivity and specificity were generally higher than that of male.
Conclusion
There are significant sex differences in texture features in AD process,and the classification and prediction ability of texture features in female patients is better, suggesting the importance of sex differences in AD research.This study provides some reliable biomarkers for early sex-specific identification of AD,which may be helpful for the early diagnosis and treatment of AD in the future.

Moral injury is a kind of trauma symptom caused by the impact of external immoral events on the internal moral value system of individuals or groups. Its origin lies in the deviation between individual’s internal moral schema and external moral situation. As a collection of moral consciousness units with value orientation in the regular activities of individuals in the moral environment, moral schema is composed of periphery and core. Moral schema realizes the domination of moral ego by supervising individual’s speech and behavior, exercising moderate control over individuals based on moral practice, and examining individual behavior with self-guilt as the tool of judgment. Moral schema is selective about what happened and acts as a filter for trauma events. Based on this, individuals can interpret or be subverted by moral events, thus playing a preventive role in moral injury.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between life events, cognitive emotional regulation strategies, neuroticism and depression in pregnant women and the internal mechanism of action.Methods:Short-term longitudinal follow-up design were used in this study.A total of 327 pregnant women in the third trimester of pregnancy were investigated with pregnant women's life events scale, cognitive emotion regulation strategy questionnaire, neuroticism subscale of Chinese big five personality questionaire-short form at T1 time point, and patient health questionnaire 9 were measured after 6 weeks(T2).SPSS 20.0 macro program PROCESS was used to examine the mediating effect of cognitive emotion and the moderating effect of neuroticism.Results:(1) The incidence of depression in the third trimester pregnant women was 12.23%.(2)There was significant positive correlation between the total score of life events in pregnant women(T1) and the total score of non-adaptive cognitive emotional regulation strategies(T1) ( r=0.25, P<0.01).Total neurotic personality(T1) and total depressive mood(T2) were significantly positively correlated ( r=0.46, P<0.01).The total scores of life events(T1) of pregnant women were significantly positively correlated with the total scores of depression(T2) ( r=0.36, P<0.01).(3) The non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategy (T1) played a partial mediating role between life events (T1) and depression (T2).The direct effect (effect size=0.29) and the mediating effect (effect size=0.07) accounted for 80.55% and 19.44% of the total effect (effect size=0.36).(4) Neuroticism regulates the second part of the mediating effect of the mediating model.Specifically, the higher the level of individual neuroticism, the stronger the positive predictive effect of non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies on maternal depression. Conclusion:Pregnant life events play a role in maternal depression through the mediating role of non-adaptive cognitive emotional regulation strategies and the moderating role of neuroticism.

Objective:To explore the effect of enhanced recovery nursing pathway in the enhanced recovery after surgery of perioperative patients with hepatic echinococcosis.Methods:From November 2017 to February 2019, simple random sampling was used to select 160 hepatic echinococcosis patients with surgery admitted to Shannan People's Hospital of Tibet Autonomous Region as the research object. Patients were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, 80 cases in each group. Patients in control group received general surgical routine nursing, and experimental group carried out enhanced recovery nursing pathway on the basis of routine nursing. The postoperative rehabilitation indicators, pain scores and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.Results:The time of first exhaust time and defecation in experimental group was (3.77±3.05) h and (23.81±17.29) h, which was earlier than (13.27±8.58) h and (37.79±18.23) h in control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=4.265, 4.975; P<0.01) . The pain scores of experimental group at 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours after surgery were (1.08±1.04) , (1.61±0.85) , (1.13±0.70) and (0.26±0.41) lower than those [ (2.41±1.20) , (2.94±0.96) , (2.94±0.96) , (1.33±0.90) ]of control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=7.501, 9.250, 13.650, -8.720; P<0.01) . There were 2 cases (2.50%) of lung infection in experimental group and 13 cases (16.25%) in control group. The incidence in experimental group was lower than that in control group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=8.901, P<0.01) . Conclusions:The standardized nursing model based on the enhanced recovery nursing pathway is conducive to the postoperative rehabilitation of patients with hepatic echinococcosis, shortens the hospital stay, and reduces postoperative lung infection complications, which is worthy of further promotion.
