Objective:
To investigate the mediating effect of parent-child conflict on paternal phubbing and externalizing behavior problems in children, so as to provide insights into the prevention and interventions of childhood externalizing behavior problems.
Methods:
The fathers of children at ages of 3 to 6 years were sampled from seven kindergartens in Liaoning Province and one kindergartens in Sichuan Province using a convenience sampling method in June 2021. The Generic Scale of Phubbing, the Parent-child Relationship Scale, and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire in Children were employed. The mediating effect of parent-child conflict on paternal phubbing and externalizing behavior problems in children was examined using a structural-equation model and Bootstrap method.
Results:
A total of 583 questionnaires were allocated, and 531 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 91.08%. The fathers had a mean age of (34.86±8.39) years, and 172 fathers had an educational level of bachelor degree and above (32.39%) and 285 had a single child (53.67%). Among paternal phubbing questions, the mean scores of nomophobia, interpersonal conflict, self-isolation and problem acknowledgement dimensions were (3.71±1.53), (2.02±1.18), (2.26±1.29) and (3.07±1.38), respectively, and the mean score of parent-child conflict was (2.25±0.82). Among all childhood externalizing behavior questions, the mean scores of conduct and attention deficits/hyperactivity dimensions were (0.31±0.26) and (0.82±0.46), respectively. Paternal phubbing posed an direct positive effect on childhood externalizing behavior problems (β=0.165, P=0.005), and indirectly affected childhood externalizing behavior problems (β=0.449, P<0.001) via parent-child conflict (β=0.358, P<0.001). The mediating effect of father-child conflict was 0.161 (95%CI: 0.104-0.221), and was contributed 49.39% to the total effect.
Conclusions
Parent-child conflict plays a partial mediating role in the association between paternal phubbing and childhood externalizing behavior problems. Paternal phubbing may directly affect childhood externalizing behavior problems, and may indirectly affect childhood externalizing behavior problems through the positive effect on parent-child conflict.

Objective To evaluation the efficacy of ketamine on the expression of adhension molecular CR3and intracellular cAMP, cGMP in neutrephils in patients associated with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), as well as the cardiovascular function of the CPB patients. Method Sixty patients operated on with prosthetic valve replace-rnent under CPB were randomly divided into 4 groups: placebo, ketamine 0.1 mg/kg ( ketamine Ⅰ) ,ketamine 0.5 mg/kg ( ketamine Ⅱ) ,ketamine 1 mg/kg( ketamine Ⅲ). Each group included 15 eases. Venous blood sam-pies were obtained during anesthesia induction (T1), 10 min before CPB (T2), end of CPB (T3) and 24 hoursafter operation (T4). The expression of CR3 was measured by Flow cytometry and the concentration of cAMP/cGMP by HPLC. Results Ketamine with various dosages decreased the expression of CR3 at the T3 and T4 inpatients of ketamine groups compared with patients of placebo group (P<0.05). The dosages of ketamine Ⅱgroup and ketamine Ⅲ group had more significant effect than that of ketamine Ⅰ group. The dosages of ketamineⅡ and ketamine Ⅲ group increased the intracellular cAMP at the T3 and T4 compared with ketamine Ⅰ groupand placebo (p<0.05), respectively. However,cGMP was lower in ketamine Ⅱ and ketamine Ⅲ group thanthat in ketamine Ⅰ group and placebo (P<0.05) at the T3.Morever,the mean arterial blood pressure was higherin ketamine Ⅱ and ketamine Ⅲ group at T4. Only the patients of ketamine Ⅲ group required less inotropic drugsafter operation. Conclusions Ketamine can reduce the expression of adhhension molecular CB3 and intracellularcAMP, cGMP in neutrophils from patients associated with CPB.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathological features of glomus tumor and its differential diagnosis. Methods Clinical, morphologie and immunohistoehemical representations were described in 11 cases of glomus tumor. Results The tumors were located at the hyponychial in 7 cases, forearm subcutaneous in 2 cases, knee subcutaneous in 1 case, gastric antrum forewall in 1 cases. Localized pain was the primary symptom. 9 giomus tumors were histopathologically classified as solid type, and 2 glomangiomatous type. The prominent morphologic features of glomus tumor were as follows: the tumor cells were small, round, uniform, the tumor cells arranged around capillary vessel or expansion of the small vein showing nest pattern,some tumor cells in fasciation pattern; focally myxoid change in the stroma were seen. Immunohistochemistry: 11 cases were positive for SMA and Vimentin; while other markers including CK, CD117, CD34, CgA, Syn, Desmin, S-100 and HMB45, were all negative. All 11 cases were without any evidence of recurrence or metastasis in followed-up for 12-30 months. Conclusion Glomus tumor is extremely rare. The diagnosis depends on the histology and immunohistochemistry. Glomus tumor is rare in visceral sites. It may be misdiagnosed and needs to he differentiated from other tumors.

The aim of the present study is to investigate the protective effect of chrysin (5,7-dihydroxyflavone) on right ventricular remodeling in a rat model of monocrotaline-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). PAH rats were induced by a single injection of monocrotaline (60 mg x kg(-1), sc) and were administered with chrysin (50 or 100 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1)) for 4 weeks. At the end of experiment, the right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) and mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) were monitored via the right jugular vein catheterization into the right ventricle. Right ventricle (RV) to left ventricle (LV) + septum (S) and RV to tibial length were calculated. Right ventricular morphological change was observed by HE staining. Masson's trichrome stain was used to demonstrate collagen deposition. The total antioxidative capacity (T-AOC) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in right ventricle were determined according to the manufacturer's instructions. The expressions of collagen I, collagen III, NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) were analyzed by immunohistochemisty, qPCR and (or) Western blot. The results showed that chrysin treatment for 4 weeks attenuated RVSP, mPAP and right ventricular remodeling index (RV/LV+S and RV/Tibial length) of PAH rats induced by monocrotaline. Furthermore, monocrotaline-induced right ventricular collagen accumulation and collagen I and collagen III expression were both significantly suppressed by chrysin. The expressions of NOX4, NF-κB and MDA contents were obviously decreased, while the T-AOC was significantly increased in right ventricule from PAH rats with chrysin treatment. These results suggest that chrysin ameliorates right ventricular remodeling of PAH induced by monocrotaline in rats through its down-regulating of NOX4 expression and antioxidant activity, and inhibiting NF-κB expression and collagen accumulation.
