Abstract
Abstract Objective To predict the pigmentation phenotypes of Chinese populations from different language families, analyze the differences and provide reference data for forensic anthropology and genetics. Methods The HIrisPlex-S multiplex amplification system with 41 loci related to pigmentation phenotypes was constructed in the laboratory, and 2 666 DNA samples of adult males of 17 populations from six language families, including Indo-European, Sino-Tibetan, Altaic, Hmong-Mien, Tai-Kadai and Austro-Asiatic language families distributed in different regions of China were genotyped. The pigmentation phenotype category of each individual was predicted using the online prediction system (https://HIrisPlex.erasmusmc.nl/), and then the output data were statistically analyzed. Results About 1.92% of the individuals of Asian-European admixed populations from Indo-European and Altaic language families had blue eyes and 34.29% had brown or gold hair. The phenotypes of the color of eyes and hair of other populations had no significant difference, all individuals had brown eyes and black hair. There were differences in skin color of populations of different language families and geographical areas. The Indo-European language family had the lightest skin color, and the Austro-Asiatic language family had the darkest skin color; the southwestern minority populations had a darker skin color than populations in the plain areas. Conclusion The prediction results of pigmentation phenotype of Chinese populations are consistent with the perception of the appearance of each population, proving the reliability of the system. The color of eyes and hair are mainly related to ancestral components, while the skin color shows the differences between language families, and is closely related to geographical distribution of populations.

Abstract
Abstract With the development of new technologies, such as whole genome sequencing and big data, many countries have constructed large cohorts as strategic resources for precision medicine study. Related studies have significantly promoted research progress in many fields, such as medicine and biology, creating the genetic testing industry. In the forensic field, characterization technologies for features, such as biogeographic ancestry, genetic genealogy and physical appearance have emerged and developed rapidly. Compared with traditional forensic DNA technology, the new technology can search for characteristics and provide clues, quickly becoming an important means to solve difficult cases such as cold cases and accumulated cases. This paper briefly reviews the current status of the construction of large cohorts at home and abroad, and the research progress of forensic molecular phenotyping in the context of precision medicine in the context of precision medicine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To search age-correlated facial features and construct an age estimation model based on the three-dimensional (3D) facial images of Xinjiang Uygur males, and to structure individual face images of old age and young age. METHODS Pretreatment was performed to collect 105 3D facial images of Xingjiang Uygur males aged between 17-57 years by Artec Studio software. The facial images were transferred to high-density 3D dot matrix data by FaceAnalysis software, and each image could be represented with 32 251 vertexes. Central correction of the facial images was done and all the data were aligned to a standard coordinate frame by generalized Procrustes analysis (GPA). The age estimation model was established by partial least square regression (PLSR). Furthermore, the changes of age-correlated facial features were presented on the heat map of average face, and the reconstruction of facial images at different ages was performed based on this model. RESULTS With age, the average faces showed a series of changes including the nasolabial sulcus deepening, cheek sinking, cheekbone protruding and eye corner drooping. The Pearson correlation coefficient (r) between estimated age and chronological age was 0.71. The mean absolute deviation (MAD) of age estimation was 6.37 years. The results of age estimation in >30-40 years group showed a best accuracy (MAD=4.27 years), and the deviations increased with age after 40 years. The composite facial images represented a significant result with age on facial morphological features and aging. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study reveal the age-correlated facial features and aging markers in Uygur population, which help to construct a reliable age estimation model.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To establish a height prediction model of Chinese Han male based on the reported 547 height-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) loci in Europeans, and assess its accuracy for height estimation. METHODS The DNA typing was analyzed in 59 Han male samples of Shandong province by Affymetrix SNP Array 6.0 chip and HiSeq 4000 sequencing platform. Prediction model was established using 547 height-associated SNPs loci as predictors and weight allele sums (WAS) as computing method. The accuracy of height prediction model was analysed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under curve (AUC). RESULTS There was no height-associated SNPs locus was found by genome-wide association studies. In present study, height prediction model was established by WAS and obtained an AUC of 0.67 (95% CI: 0.53-0.90). CONCLUSIONS It has reference value for predicting the height of Han male in Shandong province by WAS model based on 547 SNPs loci, while it is still necessary to further promote the accuracy of the prediction model by screening more height-associated SNPs loci with population heterogeneity.

Abstract
Cardiac fibroblasts are known to be essential for adaptiveresponses in the patho- genesis of cardiovascular diseases, and increased intercellular communication of myocardial cells and cardiac fibroblasts acts as a crucial factor in maintaining the functional integrity of the heart. AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) is a key stress signaling kinase, which plays an important role in promoting cell survival and improving cell function. However, the underlying link between AMPK and gap junctional communication (GJIC) is still poorly understood. In this study, a connection between AMPK and GJIC in high glucose-mediated neonatal cardiac fibroblasts was assessed using fibroblast migration, measurement of dye transfer and connexin43 (Cx43) expression. 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-beta-D-ribofuranoside (AICAR) and Compound C (CC) were used to regulate AMPK activity. The levels of cell migration and Cx43 protein expression in neonatal cardiac fibroblasts increased during high glucose treatment, accompanied by developed dye transfer. In addition, high glucose induced abundant phosphorylation of AMPK. Suppression of AMPK phosphorylation using CC reduced dye transfer, cell migration and Cx43 protein expression in neonatal cardiac fibroblasts, whereas the activation of AMPK using AICAR mimicked the high glucose-mediated cell migration, Cx43 protein expression and dye transfer enhancement. AMPK appears to participate in regulating GJIC in high-glucose-treated neonatal cardiac fibroblasts, including cell migration, dye transfer, Cx43 expression and distribution.
