The validity of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) data has been widely verified in many areas. However, its unsatisfactory spatial resolution fails to meet the high precision requirements of precipitation data for small-scale region studies. In this paper, the geographical topographic and meteorological factors (the water vapor index from MODIS05) required by the downscaling model were obtained by integrating the data from meteorological stations, the remote sensing satellite, DEM, and other multi-source data. Based on the mechanism of topographic precipitation, the relationship between characteristic down-scaling factors and local precipitation was constructed, and the downscaling model based on water vapor index (TRMMMOD05) was obtained. The average monthly precipitation data of TRMM with a resolution of 0. 25° x 0. 25° in East China from 2005 to 2015 were downscaled to a resolution of 1 km x 1 km by using TRMMMOD05 model. The accuracy evaluation of downscaling results using the observed precipitation data of the stations shows that TRMMMOD05 model not only significantly improves the spatial resolution of TRMM precipitation products, but also improves the accuracy of original data, and can better describe the spatial heterogeneity of regional precipitation caused by complex terrain. In addition, the estimated accuracy of TRMMMOD05 model is slightly higher than that of the downscaling model based on lag normalized vegetation index (TRMMLNDVI). Therefore, the downscaling method proposed in this paper can provide technical support for obtaining reliable precipitation data in areas with sparse meteorological stations or complex terrain.

The development of rural tourism can not only stimulate the growth of local economy, but also promote the effective implementation of China's rural revitalization strategy. Exploring the antecedent variables and forming mechanism of residents' support for tourism is an important factor to promote the sustainable development of tourism, which has attracted widespread attention from the academic community. Specifically, in the complex relationship between multi-stakeholders triggered by rural tourism development, residents' trust in government has played a pivotal role in ensuring the development of rural tourism, but existing studies about the influence of residents' trust in government on support for tourism lack in-depth discussion. Based on the social exchange theory, this paper takes community involvement and residents' perception of tourism impact as mediators and place attachment as the moderator. Selecting eight representative rural tourism destinations in Shandong Province as study sites, this study attempts to analyze the influencing mechanism of resident's trust in government on the support for tourism. Findings suggest that: (1) Trust in government has significant influence on community involvement, perceived benefits, support for tourism positively, and perceived costs negatively. (2) Community involvement and perceived benefits mediates partially the relationship between government trust and tourism development support. (3) Place attachment moderates the relationship between trust in government and community involvement positively. Compared with existing studies, this paper analyzes the formation mechanism of residents' support for tourism development in rural tourism destinations from the perspective of trust in government, and strengthens the role of community involvement and place attachment in the exploration of influencing mechanism. It provides a theoretical explanation and an empirical support for the deep understanding of the transmission mechanism of residents ' trust in government influencing their support for tourism and stimulating residents' support behavior for tourism development. This means that, in order to effectively improve residents' support for tourism, it is necessary to pay more attention to community residents' trust in government, enhance the interaction and communication between government and residents, encourage residents' involvement in tourism development, strengthen residents' sense of gain from rural tourism development, and cultivate residents' place attachment to their communities, so as to exert the positive role of rural tourism in promoting rural revitalization.

As China is implementing the policy of "Announcement on Ending the Pilot Work of Chinese medicine formula gra-nules", the standard of Chinese medicine formula granules has gradually become the focus of industry development. Up to now, 196 national drug standards for Chinese medicine formula granules have been published by China, which guaranteed the production quality of Chinese medicine formula granules. However, there are still several challenges such as the rational application of national drug standards and the enrichment and improvement of varieties. The basic content of the issued national drug standards for Chinese medicine formula granules was analyzed and compared with the quality standard provisions of the corresponding decoction pieces in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia(2020 edition) in this paper. This paper discussed the main characteristics of paste-forming rate of each medicinal raw materials, "quantity-quality" transformation, equivalent ratio, and so on, and clarified the characteristics of the national standard for Chinese medicine formula granules. This paper provided references for achieving the unified quality control and meeting the overall quality requirements of Chinese medicine formula granules.

Chinese medicine dispensing granules, the result of the efforts to transform Chinese medicinal decoction pieces in China, features portability and ease of storage. Thus, it is destined to be an indispensible dosage form in the modernization drive of Chinese medicine. The Announcement on Ending the Pilot Project of Chinese Medicine Dispensing Granules was released in February 2021 and relevant regulations went into force in November 2021, which marks the a new journey for the development of Chinese medicine dispensing granules and the beginning of the "post-pilot era". However, it faces the challenges in quality and standard. This study reviewed the history of Chinese medicine dispensing granules, analyzed the technical progress, market, and main problems in development, and proposed suggestions and prospects for its development in the "post-pilot era", which is expected to serve as a reference for its industry development and rational use.

In order to better understand the industrial volatile organic compounds(VOCs) emissions in China in recent years, an industrial VOCs emission inventory was developed from 2011 to 2019, based on the dynamic emission factors method and the comprehensive source classification system. The results showed that VOCs emissions increased first from 11122.7 kt in 2011 to 13397.9 kt in 2017, and then decreased to 13247.0 kt in 2019. The emission structure of the four source categories changed. The contribution from basic organic chemical industries, gasoline storage and transportation, manufacturing(i.e., coatings, inks, pigments, and similar products), and industrial protective coatings continued to increase. On the contrary, the contributions of oil and natural gas processing, automobile, and container manufacturing industries declined over the study period. Among the industrial emissions in China in 2019, industrial coating, printing, and basic organic chemical industries emitted large amounts of VOCs(accounting for 39.2% of the total emission), and because their contribution became increasingly prominent since 2011, these sectors will be the key emission sources in the future. With respect to the spatial distribution in 2019, East China and South China had the largest VOCs emissions. Shandong, Guangdong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang were the four provinces that contributed the most, accounting for 40.6% of the total VOCs emissions.

A total of 99 volatile organic compound(VOC) species were detected the Langfang development zones based on continuous monitoring using a ZF-PKU-1007 between August 25 and September 30, 2018. The concentrations, reactivity, and sources of VOCs were studied under different O 3 concentrations using compositional analysis. The results showed that the average VOCs concentration during the research period was(75.17±38.67)×10 -9 , and was(112.33±30.96)×10 -9 , (66.25±34.84)×10 -9 on pollution days and cleaning days, respectively(VOCs concentrations were 69.6% higher on pollution days). The contribution of VOCs species to the ozone formation potential(OFP) were ranked in the order aldehydes > aromatics > alkenes > alkanes. In the case of L ·OH , the main contributions were from aromatics(30.0%) and alkenes(25.8%) on pollution days, while the contribution from aromatic alkenes(29.8%) was a slightly higher than aromatics(28.0%) on cleaning days. By applying the positive matrix factorization(PMF) model, five major VOCs sources were extracted, namely vehicle emissions(34.4%), solvent usage and evaporation(31.7%), the petrochemical industry(15.7%), combustion(11.1%), and plant emissions(7.9%). The contributions of solvent usage and evaporation and plant emission sources on pollution days were 13.1% and 1.2% higher than on cleaning days, respectively, which was likely due to relatively higher temperatures on these days. Therefore, vehicle emissions and solvent usage and evaporation should be priorities in VOCs control strategies for the Langfang development zones between August to September.

To determine the differences in emissions among different types of coatings, such as solvent-based, water-based, solvent-based ultra-violet(UV), water-based UV, and powder coatings, representative furniture manufacturing companies were selected for analysis. The emission concentrations and compositional characteristics of volatile organic compounds(VOCs) in different types of coatings were compared and studied. The ozone formation potential(OFP) and secondary organic aerosol formation potential(SOAFP) of the different types of coatings were also analyzed. Solvent-based coatings has higher TVOC concentrations, OFPs, and SOAFPs than water-based, solvent-based UV, water-based UV, and powder coatings. The concentrations and composition of VOCs emitted from the different types of coatings were also different. The main VOC groups of the solvent-based and solvent-based UV coatings were aromatic hydrocarbons and oxygenated volatile organic compounds(OVOCs). Specifically, the proportions of aromatic hydrocarbons are 41.91%-60.67% and 42.51%-43.00%, respectively, and the proportions of OVOCs were 24.75%-41.29% and 41.34%-43.21%, respectively. OVOCs accounted for the highest proportion of VOCs in the water-based, water-based UV, and powder coatings, at 54.02%-62.10%, 55.23%-64.81%, and 42.98%-46.45%, respectively. The major VOC compound of the solvent-based coatings was styrene(14.68%), and the main component of the water-based coatings was methylal(14.61%). The main species of VOCs from the solvent-based UV and water-based UV coatings were butyl acetate(15.36% and 20.56%, respectively). The most abundant species from the powder coatings was ethyl 3-ethoxy propionate(20.19%). Aromatic hydrocarbons were the most important contributor to the OFP of the solvent-based and solvent-based UV coatings, accounting for 79.84% and 80.32%, respectively. Aromatic hydrocarbons(51.48% and 36.71%) and OVOCs(42.30% and 41.03%) were the major contributors to the OFP of the water-based and water-based UV coatings, respectively. Aromatic hydrocarbons(43.46%), OVOCs(28.06%), and olefins(25.24%) were the main factors affecting the OFP of the powder coatings. Aromatic hydrocarbons dominate the SOAFP of solvent-based, water-based, solvent-based UV, water-based UV, and powder coatings, accounting for more than 99%.

Based on the runoff and sediment yield data from 59 erosive rainfall plots with different slope lengths (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 m) in Shiqiao small watershed of Guizhou Province from 2012 to 2014, we analyzed the relationship between runoff and sediment yield and slope length under diffe-rent rainfall conditions. The results showed that, with the increases of slope length, the runoff yield of slope showed a 'V-shape' pattern, the sediment yield of slope increased first and then decreased. According to rainfall amount, rainfall duration, and average rainfall intensity, the 59 erosive rainfall in the study area could be divided into three types, including type A with short duration, heavy rain intensity and small rainfall, type B with medium duration, light rain intensity and medium rainfall, and type C with long duration, medium rain intensity and large rainfall. The relationships between runoff and sediment yield and slope length were different under different rainfall patterns. There was about 20 m critical slope length of sediment yield under type A and B. The sediment yield gradually increased with the increases of slope length under type C. There was a good cubic function relationship between slope length and runoff and sediment yield under different rainfall patterns. The variable amplitude of runoff and sediment yield was different among different slope lengths. Except the slope length of 15-20 m, the variable amplitude of runoff and sediment yield under type C was relatively large. The variation amplitude of sediment yield was significantly higher than that under other rainfall patterns. The total runoff yield under different rainfall patterns was type A>B>C. The sediment yield under type B was the smallest, that of type A at the slope length of 20 m was the largest and that of type C at other slope lengths was the largest. The correlation between compound rainfall factors and runoff and sediment yield was better than that of single rainfall factor under type A (common rainfall type in the study area). Rainfall amount ( P ), the pro-duct of rainfall duration and maximum 30 min rainfall intensity ( TI 30 ), product of rainfall duration and average rainfall intensity ( TI ), product of rainfall amount and rainfall duration ( PT ) were significantly correlated with the runoff and sediment yield. Among those factors, P and TI had the strongest correlation with runoff. Further, the relationship between them and runoff under different slope lengths could be expressed by linear equation and S-curve. There was a good cubic function relationship between the sediment yield and its corresponding rainfall factors under different slope lengths.

Presently, there are a few studies on the measurement of industrial organic solvents in China. To determine the content and species of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in industrial organic solvents and to provide the emission factors of organic solvents, the Chinese wood and automotive coatings, which accounted for the largest proportion of production in the world, were investigated. Coating samples were obtained by sampling from companies and buying from markets, and were measured in accordance with the domestic standard testing methods for coatings. The content and composition spectrum of VOCs in the coatings were determined, and the ozone formation potential (OFP) was then calculated. The results showed that for wood coatings, the average content of the VOCs in solvent-based, water-based, and ultra-violet (UV) coatings were 37.28%, 9.88%, and 18.02%, respectively. For automotive coatings, the average content of the VOCs in water-based original equipment manufacturer (OEM) coating, solvent-based OEM coating, water-based refinishing coating, and solvent-based refinishing coating were 15.06%, 59.90%, 11.79%, and 54.50%, respectively. The content of the VOCs in different types of coatings varied substantially. The main components and OFP contributors were alcohols and ethers for water-based coatings, benzene series and esters for solvent-based coatings, and esters, alcohols, and ethers for UV coatings. The average value of the coating samples could meet the current mandatory national standards, but 12% of the solvent-based wood coating samples and 42% of the solvent-based OEM coating samples did not meet the standards. In addition, except for the benzene series of the water-based wood coatings, the contents of harmful substances in other coating samples were up to the standards.

Clarifying the consumption of local natural capital stock and natural capital flow and its influencing factors can help alleviate the tension between the socio-economic development of the coastal zone, natural resources, and the ecological environment, and promote regional coordinated and sustainable development. Based on the two-dimensional and three-dimensional ecological footprint evaluation models, we analyzed the spatial and temporal variations of ecological footprint in the coastal zone of Zhejiang Province from 2006 to 2016, and explored the regional natural capital stock and capital flow occupancy based on footprint depth and footprint width. We analyzed the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of its influencing factors using a geographically and temporally weighted regression model. The results showed that ecological crisis in the coastal zone of Zhejiang Province deepened during the study period. The average per capita ecological deficit was 3.5 hm 2 ·cap -1 , and the per capita ecological deficit increased by 15.5%. Among them, the contribution of energy consumption account to the per capita ecological footprint was greater than that of the biological resources account. The per capita ecological footprint of each county showed an increasing trend, with significant spatial variation. The coastal zone of Zhejiang Province mainly consumed the natural capital stock, with a significant inhibitory effect on the renewal of natural capital flows. The consumption of natural capital stock was 14.87 times that of capital flow in 2016. Urban scale, economic development level, and people's income level had positive impacts on the ecological footprint of coastal counties of Zhejiang Province, while fishery production had negative effect on the ecological footprints, with transition trend to a positive one. The influence mechanism of the three factors had significant spatial and temporal differentiation.

The contents and sources of 15 US EPA priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were analyzed in 59 surface soil samples (0-10 cm depth) collected from six functional zones, including cultural and educational area, park, residential area, vegetable garden, gas station, and industrial area, in Yangzhou City. The toxicity equivalent content of benzo[a]pyrene (TEQ BaP ) was adopted to assess PAH risks in soils. The results showed that the contents of Σ15PAHs in soil samples ranged from 21 to 36118 μg·kg -1 , with a median value of 295 μg·kg -1 . The composition of PAHs was dominated by 4-6 ring PAHs. The average contents of Σ15PAHs in various functional zones in Yangzhou City was in the order of industrial area > gas station > cultural and educational area > vegetable garden > residential area > park. Correlation analysis showed that the contents of Σ15PAHs were significantly positively correlated with the contents of both TOC ( P <0.05) and BC ( P <0.01) in soil samples from whole Yangzhou City. However, the contents of Σ15PAHs had no significant correlations with the contents of both TOC and BC in soil samples within each functional zone except gas station, in which the contents of Σ15PAHs had a significant correlation with those of BC ( P <0.01). The results of PAH ratios showed that the sources of PAHs in soils of various functional zones were mainly from oil leakage and the combustion of oil, coal, and biomass, although there were some differences among them. The values of ΣTEQ BaP of 15 PAHs ranged from 2 to 4448 μg·kg -1 in the soil samples of Yangzhou City. According to the standard value of 33 μg·kg -1 of ΣTEQ BaP for 10 PAHs in the soil environmental standard of Netherland, 45.8% of soil samples exceeded the standard in Yangzhou City. The percentages of soil samples exceeding the standard of various functional zones in Yangzhou City were in the order of industrial area (70%) > gas station (60%) > cultural and educational area (55.6%) > vegetable garden (50.0%) > residential area (30%) > park (10%). Hence, in all the functional zones of Yangzhou City, there were some soil samples with potential ecological risks, which was relatively higher in industrial area and gas station, and relatively lower in residential area and park.

Ozone-biological activated carbon (O 3 -BAC) was studied for the advanced removal of organics from micro-polluted source water in the water supply plant P located in J City in the Yangtze Delta Region. The results show that 19.2% of the permanganate index, 10.4% of total organic carbon, and 23.0% of UV 254 were removed by the advanced treatment of O 3 -BAC. Eight types of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), 16 types of organochlorinated pesticides (OCPs), and five types of haloacetic acids (HAAs) were detected in the source water. The total concentrations were 53.9-100.0, 6.5-41.8, and 2.5×10 3 -1.1×10 4 ng·L -1 , respectively. The advanced O 3 -BAC treatment removed 32.5% of PAHs and 25.9% of OCPs, greatly improving the effluent of the conventional water supply process. However, HAAs were mainly removed with the conventional process, with a removal rate of 33.8%-87.0%. After the advanced treatment with O 3 -BAC, the amount of chloroacetic acid slightly decreased, while the concentration of bromoacetic acid slightly increased.

16S rRNA and pmoA functional genes were used as biomarker genes to investigate the temporal and spatial distribution of community diversity of Candidatus Methylomirabilis oxyfera ( M. oxyfera ) in the sediments of the Hunhe River by clone library technology. The dependence relationship between the physicochemical property of water and sediment samples and the diversity characteristics of the M. oxyfera community were analyzed by multivariate direct gradient analysis. Among the examples collected in September 2014, the OTU number of the 16S rRNA gene of M. oxyfera was 2-5, the Shannon-Wiener diversity index was 0.21-1.4, and the distribution characteristics in the middle reaches > upstream > downstream were presented. The OTU number and Shannon-Wiener diversity index of the pmoA functional gene in upstream samples are significantly higher than those in the middle and lower reach samples, and the Shannon-Wiener diversity indices in the upstream samples are 3.5 times and 2.3 times higher than that of the middle and the downstream samples, respectively. The community diversity of M. oxyfera showed a distinct regional distribution. Samples were collected at 3 sampling points in March 2015. The OTU values of 16S rRNA and pmoA for M. oxyfera are 6 and 5 respectively, which were obviously higher than those in September 2014. The Shannon-Wiener index is also higher than that in September 2014 (1.4>0.68; 57>0.00). The community diversity of M. oxyfera showed obvious seasonal distribution characteristics. Multivariate direct gradient analysis results showed that the concentration of DOC in water, sediment conductivity, TOC concentration, and nitrite concentration in the sediment are the main environmental factors affecting the community diversity of M. oxyfera .

Objective: To investigate effects of GSTM1 and GSTT1 gene polymorphisms on serum lipid and apopoprotein levels in healthy normolipidemic and endogenous hypertriglyceridemic subjects., Methods: Two hundred and thirty-seven healthy normolipidemic and 102 endogenous hypertriglyceridemic subjects from a population of Chinese Han nationality in Chengdu area were studied using the multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Serum lipids were measured by enzymatic kits and apolipoproteins AⅠ, AⅡ, B100, CⅡ, CⅢ and E were measured by the RID kits., Results: The non-null and null genotype frequencies for GSTM1 site were 39.2% and 60.8% in the control group, respectively, and 47.6% and 52.4% in the HTG group, respectively. The non-null and null genotype frequencies for GSTT1 site were 51.5% and 48.5% in the control group, respectively, and 57.3% and 42.7% in the HTG group, respectively. The GSTM1 and GSTT1 genotype frequencies in HTG subjects were not different from those in the controls, respectively (P>0.05). However, in control group subjects with both null genotypes (GSTT1- and GSTM1-) showed the lowest plasma HDL-C levels (1.29±0.30 mmol/L), whereas those with each of the other three genotype combinations showed relatively higher HDL-C levels. There was significant difference of HDL-C levels between subjects with GSTT1-/GSTM1-and those with GSTT1+/GSTM1-(P<0.05). Similar result was not observed in HTG group. No significant changes of lipid and lipoprotein levels were observed in either GSTM1 or GSTT1 polymorphism alone in control or HTG group., Conclusion: The present study provides an evidence that the presence of double deletion genotypes is associated with low HDL-cholesterol levels in normal Chinese subjects. However, these polymorphisms are not associated with lipid levels in endogenous hypertriglyceridemia in Chinese population of Chengdu area.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between polymorphisms of the growth arrest specific 6 (GAS6) gene and severe preeclampsia in a South West Han Chinese population., Methods: Blood samples from 167 patients with severe preeclampsia and 312 normal pregnant women as controls from Han Chinese in Chengdu area were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphisms., Results: C and T allele frequencies for +1332C/T site were 85.63% and 14.37% in the patient group, respectively, and 78.04% and 21.96% in control group, respectively. The TT genotype and variant T allelic frequencies of the +1332C/T polymorphism were significantly lower in patients with severe preeclampsia than in the control group (both P<0.05), and the odds ratio for the risk of severe preeclampsia was 0.602 (95%CI: 0.401-0.904) in carriers for the variant T allele (χ 2 =6.045, P=0.014). G and A allele frequencies for 834+7G/A site were 72.75% and 27.25% in case group, respectively, and 74.36% and 25.64% in control group, respectively. The genotype and allele frequencies of the 834+7G/A polymorphism in patients with severe preeclampsia and controls showed no significant differences (both P>0.05). In addition, there was no significant association between the polymorphisms and blood pressure levels in the patient or control groups., Conclusion: The variant GAS6+1332 T allele is associated with a decreased risk for severe preeclampsia in a South West Han Chinese population. On the other hand, the 834+7G/A polymorphism has no effect on the severe preeclampsia.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between two polymorphisms immediately upstream of the cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) gene and preeclampsia in a South West Han Chinese population., Methods: Blood samples from 205 patients with preeclampsia and 276 normal pregnant women as controls from Han Chinese in Chengdu area were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphisms., Results: G and A allele frequencies for -1195G>A site were 48.54% and 51.46% in the patient group, respectively, and 40.40% and 59.60% in the control group, respectively. G and C allele frequencies for -765G>C site were 94.15% and 5.85% in the case group, respectively, and 94.38% and 5.62% in the control group, respectively. The AA genotype and variant A allelic frequencies of the -1195G>A SNP were significantly lower in patients with preeclampsia than in the control group (P<0.05), and the odds ratio for the risk of preeclampsia was 0.665 (95% CI: 0.444-0.982) in women homozygous for the variant COX2 A allele ( x²=4.233, P=0.047). The genotype and allele frequencies of the -765G>C polymorphism in patients with preeclampsia and controls showed no significant differences (P>0.05). Additional subgroup analyses (mild vs severe preeclampsia) of the two polymorphisms failed to reveal significant correlation for either genotypic or allelic frequencies. Furthermore, there was no significant association between the polymorphisms and blood pressure levels in the patient or control groups., Conclusion: COX2 -1195A homozygosity is associated with a decreased risk for preeclampsia in a South West Han Chinese population. On the other hand, the -765G>C polymorphism has no effect.

Objective: To investigate the association of TNF-β 252A >G variant with the risk of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)., Methods: Total 956 patients with NSCLC were recruited between January 2000 and December 2008 at Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Science as the case group, and 994 frequency-matched controls were randomly selected from a pool of cancer-free subjects recruited from a nutritional group. All the participants were unrelated Han Chinese. There were no age, gender restrictions. Smoking status of the subjects was surveyed. Informed consent was obtained and 3 ml peripheral blood was collected from each subject. All samples were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method (PCR-RFLP). The OR and 95%CI were estimated by logistic regression to evaluate the relationship between TNF-β 252 A/G variant and the risk of lung cancer., Results: The frequencies of TNF-β 252 AA, AG and GG genotype were 30.9% (307/994) , 47.4% (471/994) and 21.7% (216/994) in lung cancer cases and 35.7% (341/956) , 48.1% (460/956) and 16.2% (155/956) in controls. Logistic regression analysis revealed that TNF-β 252 GG genotype contributed to a decreased risk of developing NSCLC (OR = 0.64, 95%CI: 0.49-0.83) compared with AA genotype. When stratified by smoking status, the individuals with 252 GG genotype had a significant increased risk of NSCLC (OR = 1.54, 95%CI:1.00-2.39) among smokers; which was less than those with AA genotype among smokers (OR = 2.88, 95%CI:1.91-2.24). When further stratified by smoking index, individuals with 252 GG genotype had a significant decreased risk of NSCLC among heavy smokers with OR (95%CI) of 2.24 (1.33-3.74), which was less than those with AA genotype (OR = 4.62, 95%CI:2.88-7.41)., Conclusion: TNF-β genetic variant may interact with environment factor to contribute to the susceptibility to NSCLC.
