BackgroundWith the rapid development of the networking technologies, internet addiction has increasingly become a serious mental health issue. Previous studies have revealed the link between childhood trauma and internet addiction, while the mediating role of perceived stress in this link is not yet clear. ObjectiveTo investigate the role of medical students' perceived stress in the relationship between childhood trauma and internet addiction, so as to provide references for the intervention of internet addiction. MethodsFrom February to March 2023, a random sampling technique was used to select 1 232 undergraduate students from the School of Clinical Medical Sciences of Southwest Medical University as research subjects. The Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form (CTQ-SF), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Internet Gaming Disorder Scale (IGDS), and Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS) were used for assessment. Pearson's correlation coefficients were calculated. The mediation effect of perceived stress in the relationship between childhood trauma and internet addiction was tested using Model 4 in the SPSS Process 4.1, and Bootstrapping procedure involving 5 000 replicates was employed to confirm the statistical significance. ResultsA total of 1 016 (82.47%) valid completed questionnaires were gathered. The CTQ-SF scores of medical students were positively correlated with PSS scores, IGD scores, and BSMAS scores (r=0.583, 0.474, 0.465, P<0.01). PSS scores were positively correlated with IGD scores and BSMAS scores (r=0.369, 0.479, P<0.01). Childhood trauma in medical students was found to positively predict perceived stress (β=0.191, P<0.01), social media addiction (β=0.160, P<0.01), and internet gaming disorder (β=0.106, P<0.01). Perceived stress played a significant mediating role in the relationship between childhood trauma and internet gaming disorder, indirect effect value was 0.018 (95% CI: 0.009~0.027), accounting for 16.98%. Perceived stress also exhibited a significant mediating role in the relationship between childhood trauma and social media addiction, indirect effect value was 0.063 (95% CI: 0.048~0.079), accounting for 39.38%. ConclusionChildhood trauma in medical students may affect internet gaming disorder and social media addiction through perceived stress.

Objective To investigate the immunomodulatory effects of Aedes albopictus salivary protein rAlb-34kDa-1 on macrophages (Raw264.7) and its impact on dengue virus type 2 (DENV-2) replication in Raw264.7 cells. Methods The prokaryotic expression plasmid pET32a(+)-rAlb-34kDa-1 was transfected into Escherichia coli (E.coli) BL21 (DE3), and salivary proteins were obtained according to the expression purification conditions established in the pre-laboratory stage and identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blot (WB). The toxic effects of rAlb-34kDa-1 protein in Raw264.7 cells were assessed by CCK8 assay. Raw264.7 cells were treated with rAlb-34kDa-1 at concentrations of 0.02, 0.2, and 2 μg/mL for 6, 12, and 24 h. The expression of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2), interferon-β (IFN-β), and interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) within the cells was detected using real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure IL-6 and TNF-α secretion in the cell culture supernatants. Immunofluorescence staining was used to observe the translocation of p65 into the nucleus of Raw264.7 cells following rAlb-34kDa-1 treatment, to analyze whether rAlb-34kDa-1 modulates the immune response in Raw264.7 cells through NF-κB signaling pathway. Cells were collected 6, 12, and 24 hours post-treatment under different experimental conditions (DENV-2 treatment group, salivary protein +DENV-2 co-incubation group) was measured using qRT-PCR, and the fluorescence intensity of J2 (dsRNA) in the cells was detected by flow cytometry (FCM) after 24 hours under different treatment factors. Results The results of SDS-PAGE and WB confirmed the successful acquisition of rAlb-34kDa-1 protein, and CCK8 analysis showed no cytotoxicity of this protein toward Raw264.7 cells. Both 0.2 μg/mL and 2 μg/mL rAlb-34kDa-1 induced the expression of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, CCL2, IFN-β, and ISG15 in Raw264.7 cells. One hour after rAlb-34kDa-1 treatment, the fluorescence intensity of p65 in the nucleus of Raw264.7 cells was significantly enhanced. In Raw264.7 cells co-incubated with rAlb-34kDa-1 and DENV-2 for 12 hours, rAlb-34kDA-1 at a concentration of 2 μg/mL significantly increased the mRNA expression of DENV-2. After 24 hours of treatment, rAlb-34kDA-1 at concentrations of 0.02 μg/mL, 0.2 μg/mL, and 2 μg/mL all enhanced the mRNA expression of DENV-2 in Raw264.7 cells, and 2 μg/mL of rAlb-34kDa-1 co-incubated with DENV-2 significantly increased the J2 fluorescence signal in cells. Conclusion The rAlb-34kDa-1 protein can regulate the immune response in murine Raw264.7 cells and promote the replication of DENV-2 in these cells.

Objective To investigate the targeting of transforming growth factor β1(TGF-β1)expression by Ran-binding protein 9(RANBP9)and its effect on colorectal cancer Colo320 cell apoptosis.Methods Gene expression levels of RANBP9 were analyzed in 625 colon cancer tissues and 20 normal colon tissues in The Cancer Genome Atlas database.The relationship between RANBP9 expression and survival time of patients with colon cancer was analyzed using KMPLOT.The expression of TGF-β1 in normal colon tissues and colon cancer tissues was analyzed using the human protein immunohistochemistry database and the relationship between TGF-β1 expression and the survival of patients with colon cancer was analyzed using the UALCAN database.The relationship between RANBP9 and TGF-β1 was analyzed by dual luciferase experiments.Colo320 cells were transfected with pcDNA3.1-GFP-RANBP9 and control pcDNA3.1-GFP-RANBP9-NC plasmids,respectively,and normal control cells were established without transfection.The cells were cultured and the growth viability of each group of cells was detected by the iazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide method,apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry,the mitochondrial membrane potential was detected by JC-1 staining,and RANBP9 and TGF-β1 protein expression were detected by Western blot.Results RANBP9 expression was significantly reduced in colon cancer tissues.Compared with patients with low RANBP9 expression,patients with high RANBP9 expression had a higher survival curve and significantly higher expression of TGF-β1 in colon cancer tissue.Compared with patients with high TGF-β1 expression,patients with low TGF-β1 expression had a significantly higher survival curve(P<0.05).RANBP9 targeted the expression of TGF-β1 in colon cancer.Compared with the normal group,cell growth,mitochondrial membrane potential,and TGF-β1 expression were all significantly down-regulated and the apoptosis rate and RANBP9 expression were significantly increased in the experiment group(P<0.05).Conclusions RANBP9 can target the expression of TGF-β1,promote the growth of Colo320 colon cancer cells,decrease the mitochondrial membrane potential,and induce apoptosis.

To fulfill the calibration requirements for absorbed dose to water in external beam radiotherapy,the summary offers a streamlined calibration procedure and recommendations in accordance with TRS-398(version 7)published by International Atomic Energy Agency in 2024.It addresses various considerations for reference measurement conditions in external beam radiotherapy and defines the appropriate scope for ionization chambers.In terms of ionization chamber measurements,it elaborates on the methods for measuring various correction factors and provides a table of beam quality conversion factors.The calibration uncertainty is examined by comparing the contributions of different factors before and after the update.The results demonstrate that using IBA FC65-G ionization chamber to calibrate high-energy photon beams,high-energy electron beams,proton beams and light ion beams results in relative deviations of-0.4%,0.5%,-1.7%and-1.3%as compared with the earlier versions,with relative standard uncertainties of 1.0%,1.1%,1.7%and 2.6%,respectively.The guideline which is tailored to the national radiotherapy dose calibration standards and practices presents an optimized calibration approach for TRS-398,allowing clinicians to conduct absolute dose calibration more efficiently and accurately.
