Nucleotide variation in Foxp3 gene and prognosis of bladder cancer: a case-control study by Qin Li, Yan Zhang, Yan Zhang, Min Su, Yaping Song, Yanyun Wang, Bin Zhou, Lin Zhang

“…For the rs5902434 del/ATT polymorphism, a decreased risk was observed across the codominant and over-dominant models with statistical significance (codominant model: P = 0.01, OR = 0.61, 95%CI = 0.42-0.89; over-dominant model: P = 0.004, OR = 0.60, 95%CI = 0.42-0.85), and no significant association was observed between the rs5902434 polymorphism and patient’s OS rate.ConclusionsOur findings indicate that Foxp3 polymorphisms may be associated with BC susceptibility, and that rs3761548 could potentially serve as an independent risk factor for the OS rate.…”

Prevalence and determinants of overweight/obesity, elevated blood pressure, and their comorbidities among primary and secondary school students in Guizhou province: a cross-section... by Zhuan WANG, Xiangdong DU, Xin LI, Xiaoqin ZHANG, Xiujuan LU, Xiying PENG

“…ConclusionAmong primary and high school students in Guizhou province, the prevalence of overweight/obesity and elevated blood pressure should be of concern, especially among those in economically underdeveloped regions; males and high school students are key groups for preventing the comorbidity of overweight/obesity and elevated blood pressure; school boarding, with 60 minutes or more of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity daily and adequate daily sleep are protective factors, but spending ≥ 3 hours per day studying after school is a risk factor for the comorbidity of overweight/obesity and elevated blood pressure.…”
