Objective To explore the underlying mechanisms by which time-restricted feeding(TRF)attenuates dextran sodium sulfate(DSS)-induced colitis in mice via modulation of regenerating islet-derived protein 3 gamma(Reg3γ)expression and gut microbiota.Methods Six-week-old C57BL/6 mice were stratified by body weight and randomized into ad libitum feeding(AL)and TRF groups(n=7).The AL mice were given unrestricted food access,whereas the TRF mice were allowed feeding only during 00:00 and 08:00 daily,for totally 4 weeks.Mouse colitis model was induced at the fourth week by adding 2.5%dextran sodium sulfate(DSS)in drinking water for 6 d.Disease severity and the effects of TRF were assessed with disease activity index(DAI)scoring,colon length measurement,HE staining and histopathological scoring,and mRNA expression levels of regenerating islet-derived 3 gamma(Reg3g)and inflammatory cytokines in colonic tissues.Another 14 mice were randomized into AL plus antibiotic cocktail(AL+ABX)and TRF plus antibiotic cocktail(TRF+ABX)groups,with 7 animals in each group.ABX was administered to deplete gut microbiota and evaluate the microbiota dependence of TRF in attenuating colitis.Fecal samples from AL and TRF mice were analyzed by 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing(16S rRNA-seq),and serum lipopolysaccharide(LPS)level was measured.The colonic epithelial cells were collected for RNA-seq.Results After modeling,the AL mice exhibited typical colitis symptoms,such as weight loss,diarrhea,and hematochezia.TRF intervention significantly attenuated these above symptoms,with lower DAI scores from day 4 post-modeling(P<0.001),reduced colon shortening(P<0.01),preserved tissue architecture,and decreased inflammation.RT-qPCR analysis showed that TRF down-regulated colonic mRNA expression levels of Reg3g and pro-inflammatory cytokines(IL-1 β,IL-6,TNF-α)(P<0.05)while up-regulated that of anti-inflammatory factor IL-10(P<0.000 1)when compared with the corresponding levels in AL mice.ABX treatment led no significant differences between the AL+ABX and TRF+ABX groups in term of DAI score,colon length,or histopathology.Obviously down-regulated Reg3g was observed in the TRF+ABX group than the AL+ABX group(P<0.05),whereas L-1β,IL-6,TNF-α and IL-10 showed no notable changes.16S rRNA-seq revealed that TRF markedly reshaped gut microbiota composition,with increased Gram-positive bacterial abundance,reduced Gram-negative bacteria,with concomitant lower serum LPS level(P<0.001).RNA-seq also indicated significant suppression of NF-κB and other inflammation-related signaling pathways in the TRF group.Conclusion TRF attenuates DSS-induced colitis in mice by downr-egulating Reg3γ expression,reshaping gut microbiota,and reducing serum LPS level,and thereby suppressing NF-κB-mediated inflammatory signaling pathways.

Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells play an irreplaceable role in biopharmaceuticals because the cells can be adapted to grow in suspension cultures and are capable of producing high quality biologics exhibiting human-like post-translational modifications. However, gene expression regulation such as transgene silencing and epigenetic modifications may reduce the recombinant protein production due to the decrease of expression stability of CHO cells. This paper summarized the role of epigenetic modifications in CHO cells, including DNA methylation, histone modification and miRNA, as well as their effects on gene expression regulation.

Objective:
To explore the status of depressive symptoms among adolescents in different pubertal stages in a district of Chongqing.
Methods:
A self designed questionnaire and Children s Depression Inventory were administered among 1 001 students in a district of Chongqing. Score and associated factors of depressive symptoms of adolescents through descriptive statistical analysis, Chi square test, analysis of variance and Logistic regression analysis.
Results:
The detection rate of depressive symptoms among adolescents in a district of Chongqing was 17.3%, and the total score of depression scale was (12.02±6.72). There were statistically significant differences in the inefficiency subscale score of boys across stages of genital, pubic hair, armpit hair and beard, and whether the first spermatorrhea has occurred( t/F =7.08,5.46,5.18,4.21,5.84, P <0.05), while significant differences were found in the anhedonia and inefficiency subscales scores among girls across different stages of breast, pubic hair and armpit hair, and whether menarche has occurred( t/F =19.43,4.92,3.98,7.35, P <0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the absence of first spermatorrhea and menarche were associated with lower prevalence of depressive symptoms in boys and girls ( OR=0.60, 95%CI=0.36-0.98; OR=0.46, 95%CI =0.22-1.00), while pubic hair development was associated with higher prevalence of depressive symptoms in girls ( OR=9.58, 95%CI =1.28- 71.71 ).
Conclusion
The detection rate of depressive symptoms among adolescents is relatively low. Boys who have had the first spermatorrhea, and girls with advanced pubic hair development or have had menarche are more likely to suffer from depressive symptoms.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2022;43(5):644-647
Objective:
This study explored the predictive effects of psychological stress in early and middle puberty on subsequent emotional and behavioral problems.
Methods:
A cohort of 911 boys and girls from primary and secondary schools in Chongqing was studied. Psychological stress was measured in early and middle adolescence, and the levels of emotional and behavioral problems were determined in one year follow up. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the effects of psychological stress in early and middle adolescence on subsequent emotional and behavioral problems.
Results:
The average psychological stress score in early and middle adolescence was (27.96±24.95), and the average scores of internalized and externalized behavioral problems and overall problems one year later were (8.21±8.46)(6.21±5.87) and (37.90±24.68) respectively. When grouped by gender, these scores, as well as the detection rate of anxiety and depression, withdrawal, physical discomfort, thinking problems, internalization problems and overall problems, were higher in girls than boys (t/Z=-6.38,-5.63,-6.06,-3.74,-6.80,-5.47, χ 2=15.88,12.01,3.92,6.64,24.67,15.88, P <0.05). Logistic regression showed that the psychological stress scale score was a risk factor for internalized and externalized behavioral problems and overall problems( P <0.05).
Conclusion
Psychological stress levels in early and middle puberty have a positive predictive effect on emotional and behavioral problems in the following year.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2022;43(5):653-657
Objective:
To explore whether psychological stress in early and mid puberty is predictive of adolescent healthrisk behaviors.
Methods:
In April 2018, a total of 1 046 primary and secondary school students from grade 5 to 8 were recruited through purposive sampling. The basic information and psychological stress of the respondents were collected by questionnaire and physical examination. In addition, self reports of health risk behaviors were collected in October 2018. Logistic multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between psychological stress and health risk behaviors of adolescents.
Results:
The reported health risk behaviors of the surveyed adolescents ranking from high to low were unreasonable physical activity (62.05%), food preferences (24.76%), fighting (21.03%), suicidal ideation (17.02%), ideation of running away from home (9.85%), low mood (8.80%), smoking (4.21%), drinking (3.73%), gambling (3.63%) and internet addiction (3.06%). Logistic multiple regression analysis showed that the high level of psychological stress was a risk factor for fighting ( OR =1.02, 95% CI =1.01-1.03), suicidal ideation ( OR =1.02, 95% CI =1.01-1.03), low mood ( OR =1.02, 95% CI =1.01-1.03), ideation of running away from home ( OR =1.02, 95% CI =1.01-1.03), unreasonable physical activity ( OR =1.01, 95% CI =1.00-1.02), smoking ( OR =1.02, 95% CI = 1.00-1.03), internet addiction ( OR =1.02, 95% CI =1.00-1.03), food preferences ( OR =1.01, 95% CI = 1.00-1.02) and gambling ( OR =1.02, 95% CI =1.01-1.04)( P <0.05).
Conclusion
Unreasonable physical activity and food preferences are most common health risk behaviors among adolescents. Psychological stress during early to middle puberty is predictive of adolescent health risk behaviors.

Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of metabolic syndrome in the elderly, and to develop scientific prevention and control measures. Methods Physical examination personnel in Xianyang district from January 2017 to January 2020 were selected by random sampling method. The prevalence and epidemiological characteristics of the patients with metabolic syndrome were calculated according to the diagnostic criteria of metabolic syndrome. Intervention measures were implemented for patients with metabolic syndrome, and changes in survival and body quality were compared before and after intervention. SPSS 20.0 software was used for T test, rank sum test and Spearman rank correlation analysis, and the test level was α=0.05. Results There were 587 cases of metabolic syndrome in Xianyang area, and the overall prevalence rate was 13.81%. Complete clinical data of 566 elderly patients with metabolic syndrome were obtained. Age of 60~69 years old, overweight, obesity, activity time <3 hours per day, sitting time ≥8 hours per day, smoking history, and drinking history were independent risk factors for metabolic syndrome (all P<0.05, all OR>1). After the intervention, scores of diet management, exercise management and cognition management in all age groups were higher than those before the intervention (P<0.05). In addition, values of triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein and BMI were better than those before the intervention (P<0.05). Conclusion Age of 60~69 years old, overweight, obesity, activity time <3 hours per day, sitting time ≥8 hours per day, smoking and alcohol consumption are the risk factors for the occurrence of metabolic syndrome in the elderly. Targeted interventions are of vital importance in helping patients to establish suitable self-management and executive ability.
10.Factors influencing emotional and behavioral problems among firstborn children in transition to siblinghood:a systematic review
Chinese Journal of School Health 2021;42(10):1455-1459
Objective:
This study systematically reviewed the findings of studies on the factors influencing emotional and behavioral problems among firstborn children in transition to siblinghood, to provide a theoretical basis for the study of emotional behavior in firstborn children during role transition.
Methods:
CBM, VIP, CNKI, WanFang Data, PubMed, Web of Science, OVID and EBSCO were electronically searched to collect studies on the relevant factors influencing the emotional and behavioral characteristics of firstborn children in transition to siblinghood (TTS) from inception to March 3rd, 2021. Literature screening and data extraction were conducted by two independent authors to evaluate the risk of bias in the included studies. The results of the included studies were summarized by qualitative analysis.
Results:
A total of nine studies were included, comprising four prospective cohort studies and five cross sectional studies. Systematic evaluation results indicated three main types of factor associated with behavioral problems among firstborn children:factors of firstborn children (gender, age and temperament), family factors (parents upbringing, family relationships, family environment, social economy, maternal behavior and whether firstborn children knew that the second children would arrive), and social factors (relationships between teachers and students, peer relationships and life changes). The main factors affecting emotions were their own factors (age and self acceptance). Negative temperament in firstborn children, negative parenting styles, negative family relationships and family environments, prohibited behaviors among mothers, whether the firstborn children were informed of the arrival of the second children during pregnancy, poor relationships between teachers and students, peer relationships and life changes may increase the risk of emotional and behavioral problems among firstborn children. Whether other factors might have affected the results of the study is unclear.
Conclusion
Important factors influencing firstborn children s emotions and behaviors during TTS, must be confirmed through a high quality prospective cohort study. Intervention studies may be appropriate to verify the results and provide an empirical basis for behavioral interventions in firstborn children with different emotional problems.
