95' China Different Nationalities Tour

On New Year’s Day 1995, the Beijing China Nationalities Park was decorated with lanterns and coloured streamers. Representatives of 56 different nationalities coming from across the country wore brightly-coloured national costumes, and sang and danced to the accompaniment of merry national music. Thus the 95’ China Different Nationalities Tour opened China is a multi-national country. The Chinese national family contains 56 different nationalities, each of which has its own long history, Splendid culture and specific customs. This is a precious

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in CAPN10 Gene of Chinese People and Its Correlation With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitusin Han People of Northern China

Objective To investigate the distribution of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)in CAPN10 gene in Chinese population and their relation with type 2 diabetes mellitus inHan people of Northern China. Methods CAPN10 gene was sequenced to detect SNPs indifferent nationalities of China. Five SNPs were chosen to perform case-control study andhaplotype analysis in 156 normal Han people of Northern China and 173 type 2 diabetes. OneSNP was also analyzed with transmission-disequilibrium test (TDT) and sib transmission-disequilibrium test (STDT) in 68 type 2 diabetes pedigrees (377 people). Results A totalof 40 SNPs were identified in length of 8 936bp, with an average of 1 in every 223bp. TheSNPs in CAPN10 gene did not distribute evenly and the SNPs in Chinese were different fromthose reported in Mexican American. There was no significantly statistical difference in theallele frequency of the 5 SNPs between case and control, and the haplotype frequencies inthe two groups were not significantly different. No positive results was found in TDT andSTDT analysis. Conclusions The SNP distribution of CAPN10 gene differs in differentnationalities. The studied SNPs in CAPN10 gene may not be the major susceptibility onesof type 2 diabetes mellitus in Han people of Northern China.

Grammatical Differences in National Standards of English

English is a world-wide language, while it is not all the same in English-speaking countries. This paper analyzes the difference of English among several English-speaking countries from the viewpoints of grammar.

Nationality differences in distributions of serum lipids, lipoproteins and apolipoproteins levels in Xinjiang China

Objective To reveal the distribution characteristics of serum lipids,lipoproteins,and apolipoproteins levels in different nationalities.Methods Quantitative levels of those traits mentioned above were determined and body height(H),weight(W)and body mass index(BMI=W/H2)were assessed in 773 Kazaks(men 360 and women 413)and 911 Han nationality(men 466 and women 445)from the Xinjiang Autonomous Region of China.Results Kazaks men and women,respectively,had significantly higher serum levels of HDL-c and ApoA1 (all P ＜ 0.001)and significantly lower serum levels of TG(men P ＜ 0.01,women P ＜ 0.001),Lp(a)(allP＜0.005),ApoB(men P＜0.005,women P＜0.001)and ApoB/A1(men P＜0.01,women P＜0.001)than their Han nationality controls.The threshold points of ApoA1(＜ 1.2 g/L)and ApoB(＞ 1.2 g/L)are higher in Hans than in Kazaks for ApoA1(20.7 vs 9.8%)and ApoB(18.6 vs 14.3%);the serum levels of TG,HDL-c,Lp(a),ApoA1 and ApoB/A1 are all closely correlated with nationality(P ＜ 0.001,P = 0.001,and P ＜ 0.05,respectively).Conclusion The results suggest that the nationality differences exist in serum levels of lipids,lipoproteins,and apolipoproteins,and Kazaks have a superior serum lipid pedigree to Hans.This differences may come from genetic differences,which affect the serum levels of lipids,lipoproteins,and apolipoproteins by controlling lipid metabolism pattems.Future study will be needed to dissect to the role of genetic factors on serum lipids.
