The frequency of loss expres-sion of the DPC4 gene was 33 % in dysplasia, and48% in invasive carcinoma. There was a significantstatistical difference between byperplasia and dyspla-sia (P【0.01) and in dysplasia vs invasive carcinoma(P【0.05). The frequency of loss expression of theDPC4 gene was 47.3% in CBD carcinoma, 11% ingallbladder carcinoma, and 13% in HBD carcinoma.The frequency of loss expression of the DPCA genewas significantly different in CBD carcinoma vs gall-bladder carcinoma and HBD carcinoma (P【0.01).Conclusions: Inactivation of the DPC4 gene occurslate in the neoplastic progression of pancreatic carci-noma. The frequency of DPC4 gene alternation wasdifferent in various locations of biliary tract carcino-ma. In CBD carcinoma, this frequency is similar tothat in pancreatic carcinoma, indicating their similarmolecular alternations.展开更多

This study aims to examine the prevalence of different types of peer victimization and to evaluate the associations between peer victimization and health correlates. Methods Using a large population sample of 18,341 adolescents aged 15–17 years from 6 cities in China, this study esti-mated the prevalence of different types of peer victimization, addictive behaviors, and health-related variables with self-administrated questionnaires. A three-phase logistical regression analysis was conducted to investigate the associations between peer victimization and addictive behaviors as well as health-related factors among adolescents. Results A total of 42.9% of the surveyed Chinese adolescents have been bullied by peers, with boys reporting higher rate on overt victimization (36.9%) and girls on relational forms (33.9%). School environment (34.7%) was the most frequent scene of peer violence, followed by neighborhood, family, and internet. Addictive behaviors except substance abuse were found related to higher possibility of peer victimization (aOR 1.21–1.73, P<0.001). Peer victimization was significantly associated with more depressive symptoms, post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms, and suicide ideation and deliberate self-harm (aOR 1.05–2.27, P<0.001), and poorer self-esteem and health-related quality of life (aOR 0.95–0.97, P<0.001). Conclusion Possible explanations of the associations found in this study are discussed and implications for future services are raised.展开更多
