    Abstract Purpose: To examine the relationship between socioeconomic inequalities and oral health among adults in the Guangxi province of China.
    Materials and methods: The present work was designed as a cross-sectional study, and comprises a secondary analysis of the Fourth National Oral Health Survey from 2015-2016. A multistage cluster sampling method was adopted for this survey, conducted in three urban and three rural districts Guangxi province. Dental examinations were conducted to determine oral health indicators: decayed teeth (DT), clinical attachment loss (CAL) and missing teeth (MT). The outcome measures were DT, CAL and MT. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data on demographic characteristics and socioeconomic status (SES). Multiple logistic regression models were used to analyse the relationship between SES and oral health by adjusting covariates.
    Results: The sample consisted of 651 participants aged 35-74 years. Logisitic analysis showed a statistically significant association between SES and oral health indicators. In the fully adjusted model, participants with primary education were more likely to suffer more DT (OR = 2.67, 95% CI: 1.17-6.10), teeth with CAL ≥ 4 mm (OR = 2.15, 95% CI: 1.25-3.67) and MT (OR = 3.04, 95% CI: 1.65-5.60) compared to the higher education group. Participants with secondary education exhibited a higher likelihood of experiencing increased MT compared to those in the higher education group in the fully adjusted model (OR = 3.21, 95% CI: 1.78-5.76). Household income was associated with DT and MT in the unadjusted model only.
    Conclusions: There was strong relationship between SES and oral health of adults. The survey suggested a relationship between low educational attainment and oral health.

    Abstract Objectives: To assess the prevalence of caries and impaired glucose regulation (IGR) and try to investigate their common risk factors among adult residents in Guangxi province.
    Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of 2993 adults from five different areas of Guangxi province. The sociodemographic data, history of personal habits such as diet and physical activities, physical measurements, oral examination results and biochemical laboratory test data were collected to establish a database and prepare a sound research model. Chi-square test and multiple logistic regression were used to analyse the risk factors for dental caries and IGR.
    Results: The prevalence rate for caries was 85.9%, and the mean DMFT score was 7.35. In multiple logistic regression, after adjustment, education level, occupation, daily consumption of vegetables, weekly consumption of carbonated beverages and weekly exercise were associated with caries (odds ratio [OR]: 2.10, OR: 1.80, OR: 1.40, OR: 2.45, OR: 2.38). The prevalence of IGR was 33.5%, and after adjustment, results showed that occupation, body mass index, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, high-density lipoprotein-C levels and low-density lipoprotein-C levels were significantly associated with IGR (OR: 0.80, OR: 1.70, OR: 1.56, OR: 1.88, OR: 1.60, OR: 1.43, OR: 1.48). The strength of association between caries/IGR and risk factors was a weak association or moderate association.
    Conclusions: We have not found common risk factors between dental caries and IGR. Therefore, further studies are needed to explore these common risk factors to prevent caries and IGR.

    Abstract Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is one of the most prominent housekeeping proteins and is widely used as an internal control in some semi-quantitative assays. In addition to glycolysis, GAPDH is involved in several cancer-related biological processes and has been reported to be commonly dysregulated in multiple cancer types. Therefore, its role in the physiological process of cancer needs to be urgently elucidated. Pan-cancer analysis indicated that GAPDH is ubiquitously highly expressed in most cancer types, and that patients with a high GAPDH expression of in tumor tissues have a poor prognosis. The concordance of GAPDH expression in tumors with the infiltration of immune cells and immune checkpoints implies a certain association between GAPDH and the tumor microenvironment as well as tumor development. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis revealed that GAPDH may contribute to multiple important cancer-related pathways and biological processes. Multi-omics analysis and in vitro cell experiments revealed that GAPDH overexpression is regulated by DNA copy number amplification and promoter methylation modification. Importantly, a transcription factor, forkhead box M1 (FOXM1), which is capable of regulating GAPDH expression, was also identified and was confirmed to be an oncogene and ubiquitously highly expressed in multiple cancer types. Semi-quantitative chromatin immunoprecipitation, quantitative PCR, and dual-luciferase assays showed that FOXM1 mainly binds to the promoter region of GAPDH in two cancer cell lines. The present findings revealed the implication of GAPDH in tumor development, thus bringing attention to this important molecule and casting doubts on its role as an internal reference gene in cancer studies.

    Abstract Autoimmune diseases are caused by the dysfunction of the body's immune regulatory system, which leads to the recognition of self-antigens and the destruction of self-tissues and is mediated by immune cells such as T and B cells, and affects 5-10% of the population worldwide. Current treatments such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and glucocorticoids can only relieve symptoms of the disease and are accompanied by serious side effects that affect patient quality of life. The recent rise in antigen-specific therapies, especially vaccines carrying autoantigenic peptides, promises to change this disadvantage, where research has increased dramatically in the last decade. This therapy established specific immune tolerance by delivering peptide fragments containing disease-specific self-antigen epitopes to suppress excessive immune responses, thereby exerting a therapeutic effect, with high safety and specificity. This article presents the latest progress on the treatment of autoimmune diseases with autoantigen peptide vaccines. It includes the construction of peptide vaccine delivery system, the mechanism of inducing immune tolerance and its application.

    Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to assess associations of PART1 rs27565 and DEFB1 rs11362 polymorphisms with the prevalence of dental caries in twelve-year-old children in Nandan County, Guangxi, China.
    Methods: A total of 1,061 children were included in this cross-sectional study and divided into two groups based on the Decayed, Missing and Filled teeth (DMFT) index: caries-free children (DMFT score = 0) and children with caries (DMFT score ≥ 1). Demographic characteristics, oral hygiene behaviour and dietary habits were collected through household records and questionnaires. Genomic DNA was extracted from buccal cells, and PART1 rs27565 and DEFB1 rs11362 polymorphisms were genotyped using a custom-designed 48-Plex single nucleotide polymorphism-scan kit.
    Results: Carriers of the PART1 rs27565 C allele (odds ratio [OR] = 1.338, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.015-1.764, P value = 0.039) and carriers of the DEFB1 rs11362 T allele (OR = 1.364, 95% CI = 1.056-1.762, P value = 0.017) had a higher risk of caries. Carriers of the PART1 rs27565 TC or CC genotype who ate sugary food more than once a week had a 1.6-fold higher risk of caries than TT carriers who ate sugary food at most once a week (OR = 1.579, 95% CI = 1.032-2.414, P value = 0.035). Carriers of the DEFB1 rs11362 CT or TT genotype who ate sugary food more than once a week had a 2.1-fold higher risk of caries than CC carriers who ate sugary food at most once a week (OR = 2.057, 95% CI = 1.438-2.940, P value < 0.001).
    Conclusion: PART1 rs27565 and DEFB1 rs11362 polymorphisms were associated with caries in 12-year-old children in Nandan County, Guangxi, China. Carriers of the PART1 rs27565 TC or CC genotype and the DEFB1 rs11362 CT or TT genotype who ate sugary food more than once a week had a high probability of having caries.

    Abstract Accurate and efficient read-alignment is one of the fundamental challenges in RNA-seq analysis. Due to the increasingly large number of reads generated from the RNA-seq experiments, read-alignment is a time-consuming task. Many mappers adopted various strategies to look for potential alignment locations for reads in a tolerable time, and provide adequate information for downstream analysis. But in some transcript analysis tasks, such as transcriptome quantification, the mapping information about the transcripts and positions for reads is sufficient. Thus the original alignment problem can be simplified to a string searching problem since the reads can be mapped contiguously to the transcriptome. Some models for transcript analysis adopt more efficient strategies to solve this simplified problem, but the efficiency is still restricted by handling RNA-seq data in the original read space. We propose a method, bit-mapping, based on learning to hash algorithm for mapping reads to the transcriptome. It learns hash functions from the transcriptome and generates binary hash codes of the sequences, then maps reads to the transcriptome according to their hash codes. Bit-mapping accelerates mapping problems in RNA-seq analysis by reducing the dimension of the read. We evaluate the performance of bit-mapping based on simulated data and real data, and compare it with other popular and state-of-the-art methods, STAR, RapMap, Bowtie 2 and HISAT 2. The comparative results of simulated and real data show that the accuracy of our method is competitive to the existing mappers in terms of mapping efficiency, especially for longer reads (¿ 100 bp).

    Abstract The Academic Grit Scale (AGS) is a novel measure of academic-specific grit. However, its factor structure and measurement invariance have yet to be thoroughly supported. The present study tested the factor structure and measurement invariance of the AGS with a large sample of early adolescents (aged 9-14 years) from China (N = 1,894). The bifactor model showed that the AGS was predominately accounted for by the general factor rather than the domain-specific factors; the parallel model from the AGS's one-factor model showed good fit indices; thus, the AGS should be described as a univocal solution and reported as the total score. Gender and grade measurement invariance were supported at a scalar level, warranting further mean difference comparisons. In addition, academic grit was significantly associated with positive academic emotions and academic achievement, yielding evidence of good criteria-related validity. The current study contributes additional evidence to the construct validity of the Chinese version of the AGS among middle- and upper-grade primary school students in China.
