Survey and clinical considerations of gender identity in lower primary school children.

Background: Gender consciousness directly affects the development of gender identity, which is a continuous and lifelong process. Meanwhile, hospitalization is a part of many children's lives and has an impact on their gender development.

Aim: To investigate the current situation of gender identity in lower primary school children by conducting a survey of 202 hospitalized children in the lower grades and to provide a theoretical basis and foundation for the cultivation of gender identity and medical treatment of children based on the results.

[Effects of Simulated Acid Rain and Nitrogen Deposition on Soil Bacterial Community Structure and Diversity in the Masson Pine Forest].

By analyzing the effects of acid rain and nitrogen deposition on the structure and diversity of soil bacterial communities, the response mechanism of Masson pine forests to environmental stress was investigated, providing a theoretical reference basis for resource management and conservation in Tianmu Mountain National Nature Reserve. Four treatments of the simulated acid rain and nitrogen deposition were set up in 2017 to 2021 in Tianmu Mountain National Nature Reserve (pH value of 5.5 and 0 kg·(hm·a), CK; pH value of 4.

Premature Stroke Secondary to Severe Hypertension Results from Liddle Syndrome Caused by a Novel SCNN1B Mutation.

Introduction: Liddle syndrome (LS), an autosomal dominant and inherited monogenic hypertension syndrome caused by pathogenic mutations in the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) genes SCNN1A, SCNN1B, and SCNN1G.

Objective: This study was designed to identify a novel SCNN1B missense mutation in a Chinese family with a history of stroke, and to confirm that the identified mutation is responsible for LS in this family.

Methods: DNA samples were collected from the proband and 11 additional relatives.

[Effects of Simulated Acid Rain on Soil Fungi Diversity in the Transition Zone of Moso Bamboo and Broadleaf Forest].

Acid rain is an important phenomenon in the context of global climate change, and can strongly influence forest ecology. There have been many studies on the response of plants to acid rain. However, the effect of acid rain on soil microbial communities is still largely unknown.

Pediatric Liddle Syndrome Caused by a Novel SCNN1G Variant in a Chinese Family and Characterized by Early-Onset Hypertension.

Background: Liddle syndrome (LS), an autosomal dominant disorder, is a common monogenic hypertension in pediatrics. In this study, we reported a novel SCNN1G variant in a Chinese family with pediatric LS, and conduct a systematic review of epithelial sodium channel (ENaC)-gene-positive LS cases to conclude the clinical genetic features of LS in childhood.

Methods: Next-generation sequencing and in silico analysis were performed in the proband to discover candidate variants.

Diagnostic Utility of Interferon-Gamma Release Assay in Tuberculous Lymphadenitis.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of T-SPOT.TB for tuberculous lymphadenitis. Suspected tuberculous lymphadenitis patients between September 2010 and September 2018 who had both peripheral blood T-SPOT.
