Objective: To systematically evaluate the prevalence and influencing factors of screen exposure among preschool children in China, so as to provide evidence for formulating scientific intervention strategies. Methods: Retrieve relevant studies on screen exposure among preschool children from PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, China Biomedical Literature Database, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang databases from the time of estaldishment to June 29, 2025. Meta analysis was performed using Stata 16.0 software. Results: A total of 43 studies were included. Meta analysis showed that the prevalence of screen exposure among preschool children in China was 46.0% (95% CI = 38.9 %-53.1%, P <0.01). Girls, non only child, father s age<35 years, both parents having an educational level of high school or below, being cared for by grandparents, rural residence, parents having no exercise habit, parental support for the use of screen devices, and parental screen time>1 h/d were influencing factors for screen exposure among preschool children [ OR (95% CI ) were 0.85(0.78-0.92), 1.09(1.04-1.15), 1.45(1.22-1.71), 1.38(1.24- 1.54 ), 1.78(1.32-2.40), 1.39(1.16-1.65), 1.38(1.13-1.69), 1.67(1.40-1.98), 1.70(1.38-2.10), 1.59(1.04-2.43), all P <0.05]. Conclusion The prevalence of screen exposure among preschool children in China is relatively high, and relevant child health promotion strategies should be formulated to reduce its occurrence.

Stearoyl-coenzyme A desaturase 1 (SCD1) catalyzes the rate-limiting step of de novo lipogenesis and modulates lipid homeostasis. Although numerous SCD1 inhibitors were tested for treating metabolic disorders both in preclinical and clinic studies, the tissue-specific roles of SCD1 in modulating obesity-associated metabolic disorders and determining the pharmacological effect of chemical SCD1 inhibition remain unclear. Here a novel role for intestinal SCD1 in obesity-associated metabolic disorders was uncovered. Intestinal SCD1 was found to be induced during obesity progression both in humans and mice. Intestine-specific, but not liver-specific, SCD1 deficiency reduced obesity and hepatic steatosis. A939572, an SCD1-specific inhibitor, ameliorated obesity and hepatic steatosis dependent on intestinal, but not hepatic, SCD1. Mechanistically, intestinal SCD1 deficiency impeded obesity-induced oxidative stress through its novel function of inducing metallothionein 1 in intestinal epithelial cells. These results suggest that intestinal SCD1 could be a viable target that underlies the pharmacological effect of chemical SCD1 inhibition in the treatment of obesity-associated metabolic disorders.

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most prevalent primary malignant bone tumor affecting children and adolescents. Despite ongoing research efforts, the 5-year survival rate has remained stagnant for many years, highlighting the critical need for novel drug development to enhance current treatment protocols. Ziyuglycoside II (ZYG II), a triterpenoid saponin extracted from S. officinalis, has recently demonstrated antitumor properties. This study evaluates the antitumor effect of ZYG II on osteosarcoma and elucidates its mechanism of action through the co-regulation of p53 and estrogen-related receptor gamma (ESRRG), which inhibits disease progression. The research employs in vitro experiments using multiple established osteosarcoma cell lines, as well as in vivo studies utilizing a nude mouse model of orthotopic xenograft osteosarcoma. Additionally, ESRRG shRNA was used to construct stable ESRRG-reducing OS cell lines to investigate the molecular mechanism by which ZYG II exerts its anti-osteosarcoma effects through the co-regulation of ESRRG and p53. Results indicate that ZYG II administration led to decreased OS cell viability and reduced tumor volumes. Furthermore, cell cycles were arrested at the G₀/G₁ phase, while the proportion of apoptotic cells increased. Expression of p53, ESRRG, p21, Bax, Cleaved Caspase-9, and Cleaved Caspase-3 proteins increased, while expression of CDK4, Cyclin D1, and Bcl-2 proteins decreased. Multiple ZYG II and ESRRG docking patterns were simulated through molecular docking. Comparing the pharmacodynamic response of ZYG II to OS cell lines with reduced ESRRG and normal expression demonstrated that ZYG II inhibits osteosarcoma progression, induces cell cycle arrest, and promotes cell apoptosis through the coordination of p53 and ESRRG. In conclusion, ZYG II inhibits osteosarcoma progression, leads to cell cycle arrest, and promotes cell apoptosis through synergistic regulation of p53 and ESRRG.

Objective:To explore the effects of the γ-aminobutyric acid(GABA) neurons and melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) neurons of the nucleus accumbens (NAc)-lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) neural pathway on the rewarding feeding(palatable food sweat condensed milk) in the obesity rats.Methods:Total 142 male Wistar rats of SPF grade were divided into normal diet (ND) group ( n=68) and high-fat diet induced obesity (DIO) group ( n=74) according to the principle of body mass matching. The rats in the two groups were given normal diet and high-fat diet for 8 weeks. Eight weeks later, 6 DIO rats were randomly selected to observe the nerve projection from GABA neurons in NAc to MCH neurons in LHA by fluorogold retrograde tracing combined fluorescence immunohistochemistry. And the expressions of c-Fos and MCH in LHA after ingestion of sweet condensed milk(rewarding feeding) were observed by fluorescence immunohistochemistry (6 rats in each group). GABA receptor agonist Musimol or GABA receptor antagonist Bicuculine was microinjected into the nucleus of LHA to observe the effect of GABA on rewarding food intake in ND and DIO rats ( n=8 in each group), and the changes of rewarding food intake after blocking MCH signal ( n=8 in each group). SPSS 17.0 was used for statistical analysis, two-way ANOVA and post hoc Bonferroni test were used for comparison among multiple groups, and t-test was used for comparison between two groups. Results:After 8 weeks of high-fat diet modeling, the intake of delicious food in DIO rats was significantly higher than that in ND rats((12.52±2.29) mL, (7.45±1.23) mL, t=4.778, P<0.01) after satiety.The results of fluorogold retrograde tracing combined with fluorescence immunohistochemistry showed that GABA neurons in NAc projected nerve fibers to neurons in LHA, and GABA A receptors in some neurons in LHA coexisted with MCH.The results of NAc-LHA pathway on delicious food intake showed that the interaction between rat group and drug intervention was significant( F=9.869, P<0.01). Simple effect analysis showed that the intake of delicious food after microinjection of Musimol into LHA nucleus of ND rats was significantly lower than that of microinjection normal saline ((4.25±1.38) mL, (7.29±1.49) mL, P<0.01), while the intake of delicious food after injection of Bicuculine was significantly higher than that of microinjection normal saline((10.72±2.11) mL, (7.29±1.49) mL, P<0.05). The intake of delicious food after microinjection of Musimol into LHA nucleus in DIO group was significantly lower than that of microinjection normal saline((3.51±1.77)mL, (13.68±2.95) mL, P<0.01), but there was no significant difference between microinjection Bicuculine and microinjection normal saline ((14.83±3.44) mL, (13.68±2.95) mL, P>0.05). The results of blocking MCH signal on delicious food intake showed that the interaction effect between SNAP-94847 and Bicuculine intervention was not significant ( F=1.468, P>0.05). The main effect of SNAP-94847 intervention was significant ( F=15.880, P<0.01)and the main effect of Bicuculine intervention was significant ( F=6.930, P<0.05). After intracerebroventricular injection of MCH receptor blocker SNAP-94847, the delicious food intake of ND rats was significantly less than that of injection normal saline((4.78±1.72) mL, (7.63±2.77) mL, P<0.05), and it was not affected by pre injection of Bicuculine in LHA ((6.24±2.18) mL, (4.78±1.72) mL, P>0.05). In the DIO rats, the interaction effect between SNAP-94847 and Bicuculine intervention was not significant( F=0.006, P>0.05). The main effect of SNAP-94847 intervention was significant ( F=18.46, P<0.01) and the main effect of Bicuculine intervention was not significant ( F=2.059, P>0.05). After intracerebroventricular injection of MCH receptor blocker SNAP-94847, the delicious food intake of DIO rats was significantly lower than that of injection normal saline((6.89±2.11) mL, (12.19±4.36) mL, P<0.05), and it was not affected by pre injection of Bicuculine in LHA ((8.72±2.26) mL, (6.89±2.11) mL, P>0.05). Conclusion:GABAergic signal in NAc can regulate the expression of MCH in neurons of LHA. In the DIO rats, the sensitivity of MCH neurons in LHA to satiety signal decreases and the hedonic feeding increases.

Objective:To investigate the effects of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) FBXL19-AS1 on the proliferation, migration and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells, and to determine the targeting relationship of lncRNA FBXL19-AS1 and microRNA-339-3p (miR-339-3p).Methods:From January 2017 to August 2019, 73 cancer tissues and matched normal pancreatic tissues adjacent to cancer from patients pathologically diagnosed as pancreatic cancer who underwent surgical resection in Yantai Hospital of Yantai were collected. Normal pancreatic epithelial cells (hTERT-HPNE) and 3 pancreatic cancer cell lines (Capan-1, SW1990, PaTu8988) were cultured in vitro. The real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression of lncRNA FBXL19-AS1 and miR-339-3p in pancreatic cancer tissues and cell lines. The Capan-1 cells were divided into the NC group (normal control group), si-NC group (transfected with meaningless negative sequence), si-FBXL19-AS1 group (transfected with FBXL19-AS1 small interfering RNA), miR-NC group (transfected with empty plasmid control), miR-339-3p group (transfected with miR-339-3p overexpression lentiviral vector), si-FBXL19-AS1+ anti-miR-339-3p NC group (cotransfected with FBXL19-AS1siRNA and miR-339-3p inhibitor negative control sequence) and si-FBXL19-AS1+ anti-miR-339-3p group (cotransfected with FBXL19-AS1siRNA and miR-339-3p inhibitor). CCK-8 method was used to detect cell proliferation activity. Transwell chamber was used to detect cell migration and invasion ability, and western blotting method was used to detect cell cyclinD1, matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) and MMP9 protein expression. Bioinformatics and dual luciferase reporter gene experiments were used to analyze the targeting relationship between lncRNA FBXL19-AS1 and miR-339-3p.Results:The expression of lncRNA FBXL19-AS1 in pancreatic cancer tissue was significantly higher than that in normal pancreatic tissue adjacent to cancer (2.96±0.21 vs 1.00±0.13, P<0.05), and the expression of miR-339-3p was significantly lower than that in normal pancreatic tissue adjacent to cancer (0.37±0.05 vs 1.00±0.11, P<0.05). The expression of lncRNA FBXL19-AS1 in Capan-1, SW1990 and PaTu8988 cells were 2.43±0.18, 1.97±0.13 and 1.73±0.14, respectively, which were significantly higher than that of hTERT-HPNE cells 1.00±0.07. The expression of miR-339-3p were 0.42±0.03, 0.54±0.03 and 0.57±0.04, respectively, which were all significantly lower than 1.00±0.05 of hTERT-HPNE cells. Among them, the expression of lncRNA FBXL 19-AS1 in Capan-1 cells was the highest, and the miR-339-3p was the lowest. Compared with the si-NC group, the absorbance value ( A450) of Capan-1 cells in the si-FBXL19-AS1 group, the number of migrating cells, and the number of transmembrane cells were significantly decreased (0.47±0.03 vs 0.94±0.06, 81.00±7.41 vs 187.00±16.13, 67.00±5.41 vs 141.00±9.24), the protein expression of cyclinD1, MMP2 and MMP9 was significantly reduced (0.44±0.03 vs 0.83±0.05, 0.48±0.03 vs 0.92±0.07, 0.38±0.02 vs 0.73±0.05). Compared with the miR-NC group, the A450, the number of migrating cells, and the number of transmembrane cells of Capan-1 cells in the miR-339-3p group were significantly decreased (0.54±0.04 vs 0.94±0.05, 98.00±6.53 vs 193.00±10.02, 83.00±6.58 vs 146.00±7.11, the protein expression of cyclinD1, MMP2 and MMP9 was significantly reduced (0.47±0.03 vs 0.81±0.07, 0.43±0.03 vs 0.94±0.06, 0.32±0.02 vs 0.71±0.06). Compared with the si-FBXL19-AS1+ anti-miR-NC group, the A450, the number of migrating cells and the number of transmembrane cells in the si-FBXL19-AS1+ anti-miR-339-3p group increased significantly (0.96±0.07 vs 0.48±0.03, 204.00±11.25 vs 83.00±5.11, 157.00±8.76 vs 64.00±4.12, P all <0.05), the protein expression of cyclinD1, MMP2 and MMP9 increased significantly (0.84±0.06 vs 0.42±0.03, 0.96±0.08 vs 0.47±0.08, 0.74±0.06 vs 0.37±0.02, P all <0.05). The luciferase activity of Capan-1 cells cotransfected with WT-FBXL19-AS1 and miR-339-3p mimics was significantly lower than that of the cotransfected with WT-FBXL19-AS1 and miR-NC (0.47±0.04 vs 1.00±0.10, P all <0.05). The difference of the luciferase of Capan-1 cells in the cotransfected MUT-FBXL19-AS1 and miR-339-3p mimics group and the cotransfected MUT-FBXL19-AS1 and miR-NC group was not statistically significant. Conclusions:LncRNA FBXL19-AS1 was highly expressed in pancreatic cancer tissues and Capan-1 pancreatic cancer cell lines. Knockdown of lncRNA FBXL19-AS1 can target miR-339-3p to regulate the proliferation, migration and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells, and promote the occurrence and development of pancreatic cancer.

Exosomes are vesicles with a double globular membrane of lipids that can be secreted by a variety of cells, including stem cells. Exosomes have unique biological characteristics and irreplaceable powerful functions which play an important role in intercellular communication. The various cytokines, signal proteins, lipids and regulatory nucleic acids contained in stem cell exosomes can play a protective role against the injury of kidney, liver, heart, blood vessels and nerves. Stem cell exosomes delay the process of intervertebral disc degeneration by inhibiting the apoptosis of nucleus pulposus cells and increasing the synthesis of extracellular matrix, etc. The mechanism of its role is mainly through miRNA and related signaling pathways. Exosomes contain complex components. Although the mechanism of action of exosomes in intervertebral discs has been preliminarily explored, the components contained in exosomes are complex and the specific situation has not been fully understood, which still needs further study. In this review, the characteristics and functions of stem cell exosomes, extraction, identification and storage methods, the impacttovarious other tissues, as well as the effects on intervertebral discs and their mechanisms were elaborated in order to provide a basis for the study of intervertebral disc degenerative diseases.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between the mechanism of promoting wound healing by modified autologous blood transfusion and metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 ( MALAT1) in diabetic mice. Methods:Twenty SPF ICR mice, weighing 21-25 g, in which the diabetic model was successfully established, were divided into 2 groups ( n=10 each) using a random number table method: modified preservation group (group I) and ordinary preservation group (group O). Peripheral venous blood samples were collected and stored in the corresponding preservation solution for 7 days.The platelet aggregation rate, blood glucose, serum glycosylated hemoglobin (GHB) and phosphodiesterase (DPG) concentrations and WBC were measured.Autologous blood was transfused back immediately after the wound model was established.The percentage of wound healing area was calculated at 7, 10 and 14 days after autologous blood transfusion.The expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, vascular endothelial growth factor, matrix metalloproteinase-9, β-actin, type Ⅰ collagen (Col Ⅰ), Col Ⅲ protein and mRNA and MALAT1 was determined by Western blot, immunohistochemistry and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction respectively, at 14 days after transfusion. Results:Compared with group O, the blood glucose, serum concentrations of GHB and DPG, and WBC were significantly decreased, platelet aggregation rate was increased, the percentage of wound healing area was increased, the positive staining rate of Col Ⅰ and Col Ⅲ was increased, and the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, vascular endothelial growth factor, matrix metalloproteinase-9, ColⅠ, Col Ⅲ and β-actin protein and mRNA and MALAT1 was up-regulated in group I ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The mechanism by which modified autologous blood transfusion promotes wound healing may be related to up-regulating MALAT1 expression in diabetic mice.

The present study was aimed to explore the neuroprotective role of imatinib in global ischemia-reperfusion-induced cerebral injury along with possible mechanisms. Global ischemia was induced in mice by bilateral carotid artery occlusion for 20 min, which was followed by reperfusion for 24 h by restoring the blood flow to the brain. The extent of cerebral injury was assessed after 24 h of global ischemia by measuring the locomotor activity (actophotometer test), motor coordination (inclined beam walking test), neurological severity score, learning and memory (object recognition test) and cerebral infarction (triphenyl tetrazolium chloride stain). Ischemia-reperfusion injury produced significant cerebral infarction, impaired the behavioral parameters and decreased the expression of connexin 43 and phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (p-STAT3) in the brain. A single dose administration of imatinib (20 and 40 mg/kg) attenuated ischemia-reperfusion-induced behavioral deficits and the extent of cerebral infarction along with the restoration of connexin 43 and p-STAT3 levels. However, administration of AG490, a selective Janus-activated kinase 2 (JAK2)/STAT3 inhibitor, abolished the neuroprotective actions of imatinib and decreased the expression of connexin 43 and p-STAT3. It is concluded that imatinib has the potential of attenuating global ischemia-reperfusion-induced cerebral injury, which may be possibly attributed to activation of JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway along with the increase in the expression of connexin 43.
