Individuals and populations affected by Yunnan unexplained sudden death have different causes, so different research methods and control strategies should be adopted for these two different causes. By reviewing relevant research literature on Yunnan unexplained sudden death, we reinterpret some characteristics of the disease from the perspective of population medicine. At the same time, it is found that some studies have shown that residents in areas where sudden death occurs have a higher proportion of myocardial damage compared to control areas, making them a population with basic sickness. Population medicine methods can be used to conduct etiology research and disease prevention and control.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between transcription factors (TFs) and the prognosis of colon cancer, and to construct a prognosis model through TCGA and GEO dual databases, so as to quantify the risk of patients and guide clinical treatment decisions.Methods:The transcriptome and clinical data of colon cancer in TCGA and GEO databases were used in this study. The transcriptome data were annotated and the gene expression was calculated. The difference analysis of TFs in TCGA and GEO (log2FC > 1, P-value (Fdr) < 0.05) was performed. The difference TFs of double data intersection were used for correlation prognosis analysis ( P<0.01). The risk coefficient and risk value of prognosis-related TFs were calculated by COX multivariate analysis, and the prognosis model of TFs was constructed by COX model with "survival" and "glmnet" package. The survival curve ( P<0.001) and ROC curve (AUC>0.75) of the sequence set and verification set were drawn, and the distribution of risk value was visualized. After grouping according to risk value, GSEA enrichment analysis was calculated, gene set grid was constructed, target genes were predicted, and finally, pathway enrichment analysis of GO and KEGG was carried out. Results:387 TFs with different expressions in TCGA and GEO databases were used to draw heat map, volcanic map and TFs-related forest map, and the prognosis model of colon cancer was constructed according to COX multivariate analysis=0.310×HSF4+0.137×IRX3-0.127×ATOH1+0.290×OVOL3+0.137×HOXC6+0.155×SIX2+0.092×ZNF556-0.444×CXXC5+0.429×TIGD1+0.413×TCF7L1. Through enrichment analysis, our results showed that these prognostic factors may directly or indirectly act on cancer pathways, such as basic cell carcinoma and cancer signaling pathway, local tissue-cell adhesion, and extracellular matrix.Conclusions:The constructed TFs prognosis model of colon cancer can quantify the prognostic risk of colon cancer, and its high-risk group is an independent risk factor of colon cancer prognosis. This model is a new way to evaluate the prognosis of colon cancer.

Objective:
To investigate the current status and real performance of the detection of RUNX1-RUNX1T1 fusion transcript levels and WT1 transcript levels in China through interlaboratory comparison.
Methods:
Peking University People’s Hospital (PKUPH) prepared the samples for comparison. That is, the fresh RUNX1-RUNX1T1 positive (+) bone morrow nucleated cells were serially diluted with RUNX1-RUNX1T1 negative (-) nucleated cells from different patients. Totally 23 sets with 14 different samples per set were prepared. TRIzol reagent was added in each tube and thoroughly mixed with cells for homogenization. Each laboratory simultaneously tested RUNX1-RUNX1T1 and WT1 transcript levels of one set of samples by real-time quantitative PCR method. All transcript levels were reported as the percentage of RUNX1-RUNX1T1 or WT1 transcript copies/ABL copies. Spearman correlation coefficient between the reported transcript levels of each participated laboratory and those of PKUPH was calculated.
Results:
①RUNX1-RUNX1T1 comparison: 9 samples were (+) and 5 were (-) , the false negative and positive rates of the 20 participated laboratories were 0 (0/180) and 5% (5/100) , respectively. The reported transcript levels of all 9 positive samples were different among laboratories. The median reported transcript levels of 9 positive samples were from 0.060% to 176.7%, which covered 3.5-log. The ratios of each sample’s highest to the lowest reported transcript levels were from 5.5 to 12.3 (one result which obviously deviated from other laboratories’ results was not included) , 85% (17/20) of the laboratories had correlation coefficient ≥0.98. ②WT1 comparison: The median reported transcript levels of all 14 samples were from 0.17% to 67.6%, which covered 2.6-log. The ratios of each sample’s highest to the lowest reported transcript levels were from 5.3-13.7, 62% (13/21) of the laboratories had correlation coefficient ≥0.98. ③ The relative relationship of the reported RUNX1-RUNX1T1 transcript levels between the participants and PKUPH was not always consistent with that of WT1 transcript levels. Both RUNX1-RUNX1T1 and WT1 transcript levels from 2 and 7 laboratories were individually lower than and higher than those of PKUPH, whereas for the rest 11 laboratories, one transcript level was higher than and the other was lower than that of PKUPH.
Conclusion
The reported RUNX1-RUNX1T1 and WT1 transcript levels were different among laboratories for the same sample. Most of the participated laboratories reported highly consistent result with that of PKUPH. The relationship between laboratories of the different transcript levels may not be the same.
