Noninfectious uveitis refers to a category of inflammatory diseases involving the uvea, with the exception of infectious factors or masquerade syndrome. The diagnosis and follow-up of noninfectious uveitis that involving retina or choroid require fundus imaging techniques. Fundus autofluorescence is a noninvasive imaging technique. Compared with fundus colorized photography, fundus fluorescein angiography and indocyanine green angiography, fundus autofluorescence indicates the functional status of retinal pigment epithelium and photoreceptor cells in a better way, thus playing a role in the pathophysiological mechanisms investigating, early diagnosis, disease progression monitoring and prognosis estimating of noninfectious uveitis, such as Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease, Beh?et disease, multifocal choroiditis, punctate inner choroidopathy, birdshot chorioretinopathy, multiple evanescent white dot syndrome, acute zonal occult outer retinopathy, acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy and serpiginous choroiditis.
8.Evaluation of four Internet addiction scales in college students
Chinese Journal of School Health 2021;42(8):1193-1197
Objective:
To compare the reliability of Internet Addiction Impairment Index (IAII), Revised Chen Internet Addiction Scale(CIAS-R)-Taiwan Revision, CIAS-R-Mainland Revision, Young Diagnostic Questionnaire (YDQ) and the consistency of Internet addiction using the four scales in college students.
Methods:
A total of 1 004 undergraduates from 3 universities in Hefei were selected to measure the tendency of internet addiction simultaneously using the four scales, and 122 students were re tested two weeks after the initial assessment. Correlation coefficient, coincidence rate and Kappa value were used to analyze the consistency of the four scales. Analysis of variance, t test and Logistic regression were used to determine the consistency of the factors related to internet addiction scale.
Results:
The reliability of the four Internet addiction scales were greater than 0.7( P <0.01). The correlation coefficient among all scales was greater than 0.5( P <0.01). The agreement between YDQ and CIAS-R-Mainland Revision was 0.87. The Kappa value of YDQ and CIAS-R-Taiwan Revision in the consistency analysis was 0.51( P <0.01), the Kappa value between the other scales was less than 0.5. Results showed that the four scales were consistent in Internet addiction prevalence by gender, grade and major, while CIAS-R-Taiwan Revision and YDQ were not consistent with the other two scales in sleep disorder.
Conclusion
The four Internet addiction scales all have good reliability, while low agreement in Internet addiction assessment, suggesting further improvement and revision in Internet addiction scales.
9.Internet addiction and college students depression:an analysis of moderating mediating effects
Chinese Journal of School Health 2020;41(11):1610-1613
Objective:
To explore the mediating role played by college students social anxiety and social support in the relationship between internet addiction and depression.
Methods:
A cluster random sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey among 3 536 college students in three higher vocational colleges in Anhui Province. The content included general demographic characteristics, depression, Internet addiction, social support, and social anxiety. The Process program was used to mediate and analysis of regulation.
Results:
Among the survey subjects, 1 552(43.90%) had depressive symptoms, including 561(45.65%) boys and 991(42.96%) girls.The total score of Internet addiction was significantly positively correlated with depression score(r=0.30, P<0.01); social anxiety(social fear, social avoidance) was positively correlated with depression(r=0.24, 0.27, P<0.01); social support(subjective support, objective support, support utilization) was significantly negatively correlated with depression(r=0.25, -0.23, -0.17, P<0.01). Conditional process analysis shows that social anxiety had a mediating role between internet addiction and depression(c'=0.06, P<0.01), and that Internet addiction and social anxiety were regulated by social support(β=-0.00,P=0.02).
Conclusion
By increasing the social support of college students to improve social anxiety, it might help to reduce the depression of college students caused by Internet addiction.

Objective:
To investigate the effects of Paraquat on neural stem cell proliferation in vitro and explore the its mechanism based on DNA methylation pathway.
Methods:
Nestin, β-tubulin III, and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) were detected by indirect immunofluorescence assay to evaluate self renewal and differentiation potentia of ReNcell CX human neural stem. The cells were treated with terminal concentrations of 0, 5, 25, 50, and 100μmol/L PQ for 24 hours, and the cells were induced by 50 μmol/L PQ for different time (6, 12, 24, 48 h). Cell viability was determined by MTT assay. The proliferation of neural stem cells was evaluated using Sox2/Brdu and Nestin/Brdu double immunofluorescence staining. The global DNA methylation level was assayed by MethyflashTM methylated DNA Quantification kit. The expression levels of Dnmts mRNA and protein were analyzed by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR) and Western blot, respectively.
Results:
Immunofluorescence showed that nestin was primarily expressed in proliferative neural stem cell and peotein biomarkers (β-tubulin III, GFAP) for neuron and astrocyte were expressed in differentiated cells. MTT assay showed PQ induced cell survival rate decrease in a time and dose dependent manner. Double immunfluorescence staining of cells showed colocalization of Sox2 and Brdu. The percentage of Brdu/Sox2 positive cells was significantly lower in the PQ-exposed (25, 50, 100μmol/L PQ treatment) groups compared to control (
