Advances in the Study of Psychological Stress and Eating Behavior in Children and Adolescents

With the rapid development and change in society,children and adolescents are facing more and more psychological pressure,which comes not only from academic performance and interpersonal relationships but also from family environment,social expectations and other aspects.Psychological stress not only affects the mental health of children and adolescents but is also closely related to their eating behavior.Therefore,exploring the relationship between psychological stress and eating behaviors is of great significance in promoting the physical and mental health development of children and adolescents.Based on this,the study reviewed the research progress on the relationship between psychological stress and eating behavior of children and adolescents in recent years.The relationships between psychological stress and general eating behaviors,abnormal eating behaviors and eating disorders were successively reviewed,and the related physiological mechanisms were explored with a view to providing a scientific basis for mental health education and eating behavior intervention for children and adolescents.

Distribution and correlation of refractive parameters in children with different corneal curvatures in southeast China

AIM:To analyze the distribution of refractive status in school-age children with different corneal curvatures(CC)and the correlation between CC and refractive status.METHODS:A total of 2214 school-aged children of grade 4 in Hangzhou who were screened for school myopia were included.Uncorrected distance visual acuity(UCDVA),non-cycloplegic refraction,axial length(AL),horizontal and vertical corneal curvature(K1,K2)were measured and spherical equivalent(SE),corneal curvature radius(CCR)and axial length/corneal radius of curvature ratio(AL/CR)were calculated.UCDVA<5.0 and SE≤-0.50 D were classified as school-screening myopia.According to the different CCRs,the patients were divided into the lower corneal curvature(LCC)group(CCR≥7.92)and the higher corneal curvature(HCC)group(CCR<7.92).Each group was further divided into the normal AL subgroup and the long AL subgroup.The refractive parameters were compared to identify any differences between the two groups.RESULTS:Both SE and AL were greater in the LCC group(P=0.013,P<0.001).The prevalence of myopia was 38% in the LCC group and 44% in the HCC group(P<0.001).The proportion of children without screening myopia was higher in the LCC group(62%)than in the HCC group(56%).Among these children without screening myopia,the proportion of long AL in the LCC group(24%)was significantly higher than that in the HCC group(0.012%;P<0.001).The change of SE in the LCC group was less affected by the increase of AL than that in the HCC group.CONCLUSION:School-aged children in the LCC group have a lower incidence of screening myopia and longer AL.Low CC can mask SE reduction and AL growth to some extent,and the change of AL growth change more in children with low CC than high CC.Before the onset of myopia,its growth rate is even faster than that after the onset of myopia.

Along with the acceleration of aging in our country and the increased prioritization on healthy living,the prevention and treatment of senile diseases have become a hot topic.The Dietary Inflammation Index(DII)is a new tool for assessing dietary inflammation.This article reviewed the research processes on the association between DII and age-related diseases such as osteoporosis,cognitive impairment,cardiovascular disease,cancer,and so on.It is expected that DII can provide guidance on the daily diet of older people,prevent and treat age-related diseases,and improve their quality of life.

Global transcriptomic analysis reveals Lnc-ADAMTS9 exerting an essential role in myogenesis through modulating the ERK signaling pathway

Background:Long non-coding RNAs(lncRNAs)are emerging key regulators involved in a variety of biological processes such as cell differentiation and development.The balance between myogenesis and adipogenesis is crucial for skeletal muscle homeostasis in humans and meat quality in farm animals.The present study aimed to reveal the global transcriptomic profiles of adipogenic(Adi-)and myogenic(Myo-)precursors derived from porcine skeletal muscle and identify lncRNAs involved in the modulation of myogenesis homeostasis in porcine skeletal muscle.Results:In this study,a total of 655 novel individual lncRNAs including differentially expressed 24 lncRNAs,and 755 differentially expressed mRNAs were identified(fold change≥2 or≤0.5 and adjusted P<0.05).Integrated results of Gene Ontology(GO)and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)enrichment analysis accompanied by the variation of intracellular Ca2+concentration highlighted Lnc-ADAMTS9 involved in the modulation of myogenesis homeostasis in porcine skeletal muscle.Although Lnc-ADAMTS9 knock-down did not alter the mRNA expression of ADAMTS9,we demonstrated that Lnc-ADAMTS9 can promote myogenic proliferation and myogenic differentiation of myogenic precursors through inhibiting the ERK/MAPK signaling pathway.Conclusion:We deciphered a comprehensive catalog of mRNAs and lncRNAs that might be involved in the regulation of myogenesis and adipogenesis homeostasis in the skeletal muscle of pigs.The Lnc-ADAMTS9 exerts an essential role in myogenesis through the ERK signaling pathway.

Lamellar-stacked cobalt-based nanopiles integrated with nitrogen/sulfur co-doped graphene as a bifunctional electrocatalyst for ultralong-term zinc-air batteries

Sluggish oxygen evolution reaction(OER)and oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)kinetics inevitably impede the practical performance of rechargeable zinc-air batteries.Thus,combing the structural designability of transition metal-based electrocatalysts with anionic regulation is highly desired.Herein,mesoporous lamellar-stacked cobalt-based nanopiles with surface-sulfurization modification are elaborately designed and integrated with N/S co-doped graphene to build a robust OER/ORR bifunctional electrocatalyst.The lamellar-stacking mode of mesoporous nanosheets with abundant channels accelerates gas-liquid mass transfer,and partial-sulfurization of cobalt-based matrix surface efficiently improves the intrinsic OER activity.Meanwhile,N/S co-doped graphene further reinforces the ORR active sites while providing a stable conductive skeleton.As expected,this composite electrocatalyst delivers considerable bifunctional activity and stability,with an OER overpotential of 323 m V at 10 m A cm^(-2)and high durability.When applied in zinc-air batteries,remarkable ultralong-term stability over 4000 cycles and a maximum power density of 150.1 m W cm^(-2)are achieved.This work provides new insight into structurecomposition synergistic design of rapid-kinetics OER/ORR bifunctional electrocatalyst for nextgeneration metal-air batteries.

Intracellular accumulation of tau inhibits autophagosome formation by activating TIA1-amino acid-mTORC1 signaling

Background:Autophagy dysfunction plays a crucial role in tau accumulation and neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease(AD).This study aimed to investigate whether and how the accumulating tau may in turn affect autophagy.Methods:The primary hippocampal neurons,N2a and HEK293T cells with tau overexpression were respectively starved and treated with vinblastine to study the effects of tau on the initiating steps of autophagy,which was analysed by Student’s two-tailed t-test.The rapamycin and concanamycin A were employed to inhibit the mammalian target of rapamycin kinase complex 1(mTORC1)activity and the vacuolar H+-ATPase(v-ATPase)activity,respectively,which were analysed by One-way ANOVA with post hoc tests.The Western blotting,co-immunoprecipitation and immunofuorescence staining were conducted to gain insight into the mechanisms underlying the tau effects of mTORC1 signaling alterations,as analysed by Student’s two-tailed t-test or One-way ANOVA with post hoc tests.The autophagosome formation was detected by immunofuorescence staining and transmission electron microscopy.The amino acids(AA)levels were detected by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC).Results:We observed that overexpressing human full-length wild-type tau to mimic AD-like tau accumulation induced autophagy deficits.Further studies revealed that the increased tau could bind to the prion-related domain of T cell intracellular antigen 1(PRD-TIA1)and this association significantly increased the intercellular level of amino acids(Leucine,P=0.0038;Glutamic acid,P=0.0348;Alanine,P=0.0037;Glycine,P=0.0104),with concordant upregulation of mTORC1 activity[phosphorylated eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1(p-4EBP1),P<0.0001;phosphorylated 70 kD ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1(p-p70S6K1),P=0.0001,phosphorylated unc-51-like autophagyactivating kinase 1(p-ULK1),P=0.0015]and inhibition of autophagosome formation[microtubuleassociated protein light chain 3 II(LC3 II),P=0.0073;LC3 puncta,P<0.0001].As expected,this tau-induced deficit of autophagosome formation in turn aggravated tau accumulation.Importantly,we also found that blocking TIA1 and tau interaction by overexpressing PRD-TIA1,downregulating the endogenous TIA1 expression by shRNA,or downregulating tau protein level by a small proteolysis targeting chimera(PROTAC)could remarkably attenuate tau-induced autophagy impairment.Conclusions:Our findings reveal that AD-like tau accumulation inhibits autophagosome formation and induces autophagy deficits by activating the TIA1/amino acid/mTORC1 pathway,and thus this work reveals new insight into tau-associated neurodegeneration and provides evidence supporting the use of new therapeutic targets for AD treat-ment and that of related tauopathies.

The cooling models of Earth’s early mantle

The thermal state of the early Earth’s interior and its way of cooling are crucial for its subsequent evo-lution.Earth is initially hot as it acquired enormous heat in response to violent processes during its formation,e.g.,the Moon-forming giant impact,the segregation and formation of its metallic core,the tidal interaction with the early Moon,and the decay of radioactive elements,etc.In the meantime,the cooling mechanisms of early Earth’s mantle remain elusive despite their importance,and the previously proposed cooling models of the mantle are controversial.In this paper,we first reviewed several prevalent parameter-ized thermal evolution models of the early mantle.The models give unrealistic predictions since they were estab-lished solely based on a single tectonic regime,such as the stagnant-lid regime,or relied on the disputable existence of the plate tectonics prior to-3.5 Ga.Then we argue that the mantle should have started to cool down from a very hot state after the solidification of the ferocious magma ocean.Instead of using one single scaling law to describe a single-stage model,we suggest that an episodic multi-stage cooling model(EMCM)of the early mantle could be more plausible to account for the mantle’s early cooling process.The model reconciles with the fact that the mantle cools down from a hot state prior to*3.5 Ga and can also explain the well-constrained post-3.5 Ga thermal history of the mantle.

Network Modelling and Visualisation Analysis of the Undergraduate Dental Curriculum System in China

Objectives: This study aims to present the characteristics of the undergraduate dental curriculum system using network modelling and visualisation analysis based on complex network theory, thus providing a theoretical foundation for the course development and curriculum reform. Methods: The correlation coefficient was used to quantify the intensity of the correlation between courses, and a visualisation complex network of the dental curriculum was built to explore the curriculum pattern from a dynamic perspective. Further, the statistical measurements of curriculum network were adopted to express the most relevant topological features. Subsequently, the minimum spanning tree and parallel coordinates plot were drawn to explore the curriculum community structure, quantify the key courses, and present different courses in time and space relationships. Results: The correlation analysis results show that the courses are closely related to each other. The main courses focus on pathology, pathophysiology, oral anatomy and physiology, closely connecting almost all medicine-related courses. The whole course network has an average degree value of 41.53, and a clustering coefficient of 0.78, indicating an obvious small-world characteristic. From the perspective of curriculum attributes, the number of public and theoretical courses was more than that of skills and practical courses. Moreover, the academic performance of skills and practical courses was lower than that of public and theoretical courses. Conclusion: The undergraduate dental courses have a progressive structure from basic professional knowledge to professional skills, which is reasonable for the dental education in China. However, some efforts towards curriculum reform based on this study are needed.

Two Monte Carlo-based simulators for imaging-system modeling and projection simulation of flat-panel X-ray source

The advantages of a flat-panel X-ray source(FPXS)make it a promising candidate for imaging applications.Accurate imaging-system modeling and projection simulation are critical for analyzing imaging performance and resolving overlapping projection issues in FPXS.The conventional analytical ray-tracing approach is limited by the number of patterns and is not applicable to FPXS-projection calculations.However,the computation time of Monte Carlo(MC)simulation is independent of the size of the patterned arrays in FPXS.This study proposes two high-efficiency MC projection simulators for FPXS:a graphics processing unit(GPU)-based phase-space sampling MC(gPSMC)simulator and GPU-based fluence sampling MC(gFSMC)simulator.The two simulators comprise three components:imaging-system modeling,photon initialization,and physical-interaction simulations in the phantom.Imaging-system modeling was performed by modeling the FPXS,imaging geometry,and detector.The gPSMC simulator samples the initial photons from the phase space,whereas the gFSMC simulator performs photon initialization from the calculated energy spectrum and fluence map.The entire process of photon interaction with the geometry and arrival at the detector was simulated in parallel using multiple GPU kernels,and projections based on the two simulators were calculated.The accuracies of the two simulators were evaluated by comparing them with the conventional analytical ray-tracing approach and acquired projections,and the efficiencies were evaluated by comparing the computation time.The results of simulated and realistic experiments illustrate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed gPSMC and gFSMC simulators in the projection calculation of various phantoms.

Alfalfa-containing diets alter luminal microbiota structure and short chain fatty acid sensing in the caecal mucosa of pigs

Background: Pork produced by outdoor-reared pigs raised mostly on alfalfa pastures attracts increasing population of consumer from most of the world. In China, pigs were raised with alfalfa-containing diets to seek for good quality pork.However, the influence of dietary alfalfa involving high level of insoluble dietary fiber(IDF) on pig intestinal luminal microbiota composition remains unclear. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of alfalfa on luminal microbiota and short chain fatty acids(SCFA) production, and gene expressions involved in SCFA sensing, transporting and absorbing in pig caecal mucosa.Results: Twenty-four growing pigs were randomly allotted to four diets containing 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% alfalfa meal for a 28-d experiment. Ingestion of alfalfa meal-contained diets significantly increased the ratio of body weight gain to feed consumption. Illumina MiS eq sequencing of the V3 region of the 16 S r RNA genes showed that alfalfa-containing diet significantly decreased the relative abundance of genera Turicibacter, Acidiphilium, Paracoccus, Propionibacterium,Corynebacterium, Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, and Staphylococcus, and increased the relative abundance of genera Lachnospira, Marvinbryantia, and Desulfovibrio in the caecal digesta. Butyrate concentration was significantly increased in the hindgut by the supplementation of alfalfa meal in diets. The m RNA gene expressions of FFAR3, SMCT1, MCT1,PYY, and GCG were significantly increased in the caecal mucosa of pigs fed alfalfa meal.Conclusions: Our results suggested that alfalfa-containing diet has exerted significant impacts on caecal microbiota composition, butyrate concentration and significantly upregulated m RNA expression of host caecal mucosal genes involved in SCFA sensing and absorption as well as regulation of satiety.

Bronchial asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that poses a significant threat to the physical and mental health of children globally.Currently,pulmonary rehabilitation is a non-pharmacological intervention that has shown promise in treating chronic respiratory diseases.However,most studies related to pulmonary rehabilitation only focus on chronic conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD),lung cancer,and bronchiectasis.Research on bronchial asthma in children is still in the preliminary stages.This article reviews the concept,basic content,and application mode of pulmonary rehabilitation,to provide reference for the clinical research of pulmonary rehabilitation in children with bronchial asthma,and to carry out multimodal pulmonary rehabilitation to improve the disease control level and quality of life of asthma in children.

The HDAC inhibitor GCJ-490A suppresses c-Met expression through IKKα and overcomes gefitinib resistance in non-small cell lung cancer

Objective:The novel compound GCJ-490A has been discovered as a pan-histone deacetylase(HDAC)inhibitor that exerts potent inhibitory activity against HDAC1,HDAC3,and HDAC6.Because of the important roles of HDACs in lung cancer development and the high distribution of GCJ-490A in lung tissue,we explored the anti-tumor potency of GCJ-490A against non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)in vitro and in vivo in this study.Methods:The in vitro effects of GCJ-490A alone or combined with the EGFR inhibitor gefitinib against NSCLC were measured with proliferation,apoptosis,and colony formation assays.NSCLC xenograft models were used to investigate the efficacy of GCJ-490A combined with gefitinib for the treatment of NSCLC in vivo.Western blot assays,luciferase reporter assays,chromatin immunoprecipitation assays,quantitative real time-PCR,immunohistochemistry,and transcription factor activity assays were used to elucidate possible mechanisms.Results:GCJ-490A effectively inhibited NSCLC cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in vitro and in vivo.Interestingly,inhibition of HDAC1 and HDAC6 by GCJ-490A increased histone acetylation at the IKKαpromoter and enhanced IKKαtranscription,thus decreasing c-Met.Moreover,this c-Met downregulation was found to be essential for the synergistic anti-tumor activity of GCJ-490A and gefitinib.Conclusions:These findings highlight the promising potential of HDAC inhibitors in NSCLC treatment and provide a rational basis for the application of HDAC inhibitors in combination with EGFR inhibitors in clinical trials.

Fat deposition deficiency is critical for the high mortality of pre-weanling newborn piglets

Background: The high mortality of pre-weanling piglets is a dominant challenge which severely restricts the development of pig industry. A number of factors including nutrients imbalance and temperature variation during postnatal period of piglets have been reported to closely associated with the high mortality of postnatal piglets.This study aims to find out the relationship between fat deposition and survival of newborn piglets.Results: There were no differences in organ coefficient and bone density between the surviving and dead piglets(P > 0.05). The body weight and the fat deposition in the dead piglets were lower than the live individuals(P < 0.05).Consistently, the average sizes of white adipocytes in back and abdominal adipose tissues of dead piglets were smaller than the survivals(P < 0.05). The protein expression levels of adipocyte differentiation markers PPARγ and C/EBPα in the back and abdominal adipose tissues were lower in dead piglets compared to live piglets. The mRNA expressions of thermogenic markers PGC1α and PRDM16 in adipose tissues were decreased in the dead piglets(P < 0.05). The microarray of back fat samples from the surviving and dead piglets were conducted; two down-regulated genes namely AAMDC and CASTOR1 were identified from the dead piglets. According to quantitative real-time PCR(RT-PCR) analysis, the mRNA expression of AAMDC decreased, whereas CASTOR1 expression elevated in the dead piglets compared to the surviving piglets(P < 0.05).Conclusions: The fat deposition and adipocyte differentiation in the dead piglets are insufficient compared to the surviving piglets, which may attenuate the thermogenic ability of white adipose tissue(WAT). Our data indicate that fat deposition in newborn piglets is vital to their survival.

Effects of L-lysine·H2SO4 product on the intestinal morphology and liver pathology using broiler model

Background: Lysine is used widely in livestock production due to the shortage of feed protein resources.Llysine·H2SO4 contains L-lysine sulphate as well as fermentation co-products which contain other amino acids and phosphorus.However,there are few articles about L-lysine·H2SO4 product regarding intestinal morphology and liver pathology of broiler chickens.In this article,we focus on the absorption and metabolism of L-lysine·H2SO4 revealed in the variation of intestinal morphology and liver pathology to determine the tolerance of chicks for L-lysine·H2SO4.Methods: To evaluate the tolerance of broilers for L-lysine·H2SO4,240 one day old broilers were allocated randomly to one of five dietary treatments which included corn-soybean diets containing 0,1%,4%,7% or 10% L-lysine·H2SO4(L-lysine content = 55%).Results: Supplementation of 1% L-lysine·H2SO4 in the diet had no negative effects.However,4%,7% or 10% Llysine·H2SO4 supplementation produced negative responses on broiler performance,carcass characteristics,blood biochemistry,and particularly on intestinal morphology and liver pathology compared with broilers fed the control diet.Conclusion: Our results show that supplementation with 1% L-lysine·H2SO4 had no negative effects on performance,carcass characteristics,blood biochemistry,intestinal morphology and liver pathology in broilers,but supplementation with 4%,7% or 10% L-lysine·H2SO4 produced a negative response,particularly with respect to intestinal morphology and liver pathology.

Potential otogenic complications caused by cholesteatoma of the contralateral ear in patients with otogenic abscess secondary to middle ear cholesteatoma of one ear:A case report

BACKGROUND Otogenic brain abscess caused by middle ear cholesteatoma is a potentially serious and life-threatening complication in the ear,nose,and throat clinic.The mortality rate associated with otogenic brain abscesses is 8%–26.3%.Recently,in China,the incidence of brain abscess secondary to middle ear cholesteatoma has started to increase due to antibiotic resistance.CASE SUMMARY A 55-year-old male presented hearing loss in the right ear and headache for 1 mo in 2018.Computed tomography(CT) showed an area of low density in the right middle ear and mastoid and auditory ossicle defects and a small amount of soft tissue density in the left middle ear.The parietal wall of the right tympanic cavity and the posterior wall of the mastoid sinus were thin and less continuous.Cranial magnetic resonance imaging revealed an area of low intensity encapsulated by an area of high intensity in the right temporal lobe.We diagnosed him with a brain abscess secondary to middle ear cholesteatoma.He received surgery to drain the abscess followed by a modified radical mastoidectomy.The patient visited our department 3 years later because of intermittent otorrhea in the left ear.CT revealed that the area of the soft tissue density in the left middle ear and mastoid was significantly increased.The posterior wall of the mastoid sinus was destroyed,leaving the left middle ear connecting with the brain.The patient underwent a modified radical mastoidectomy in the left ear CONCLUSION Regular follow-up and timely treatment of contralateral ear disease are vital for the prevention of otogenic complications in patients with otogenic abscesses secondary to middle ear cholesteatoma in the unilateral ear.

Photo-Doped Active Electrically Controlled Terahertz Modulator

We demonstrate an electric-controlled terahertz（THz） modulator which can be used to realize amplitude modulation of terahertz waves with slight photo-doping. The THz pulse transmission was efficiently modulated by electrically controlling the monolayer silicon-based device. The modulation depth reached 100% almost when the applied voltage was 7V at an external laser intensity of 0.6W/cm2. The saturation voltage reduced with the increase of the photo-excited intensity. In a THz continuous wave（CW）system, a significant fall in both THz transmission and reflection was also observed with the increase of applied voltage. This reduction in the THz transmission and reflection was induced by the absorption for electron injection. The results show that a high-efficiency and high modulation depth broadband electric-controlled terahertz modulator in a pure Si structure has been realized.

Language Transfer Evidence in the Acquisition of Double Object Construction by Chinese EFL Learners

Based on the theory of language transfer in second language acquisition, this study explored the dynamic acquisition of English double object construction by Chinese EFL learners through comparative analysis. Altogether 120 subjects participated in this experiment and were required to take the proofreading exercise in limited time. The experimental results showed that Chinese EFL learners at different levels of proficiency acquired the core subclass of double object construction better than peripheral ones;meanwhile, learners at higher levels of proficiency outperformed those at lower levels, especially in the peripheral types. Relevant theoretical interpretations were given thereafter to the above research findings, with the hope to shed some light on the learning of double object construction by Chinese EFL learners.
