BackgroundPrevious studies have identified a close relationship among psychological neglect and abuse, negative affect, different stages of adolescence, and suicidal ideation. However, the mechanisms underlying the impact of psychological abuse and neglect on suicidal ideation among left-behind adolescents remain unclear, and this field of research is still in its relative infancy. ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between psychological neglect/abuse and suicidal ideation among left-behind adolescents, as well as the mediating role of negative affect and the moderating effect of different stages of adolescence, so as to provide insights for preventing and intervening suicidal ideation in this population. MethodsFrom November 2021 to May 2022, a cluster random sampling technique was utilized to select 2 309 left-behind adolescents in western China. Assessments were conducted using the Child Psychological Abuse and Neglect Scale (CPANS), the Positive and Negative Suicide Ideation (PANSI) and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule for Children (PANAS-C). Spearman correlation coefficients were calculated across all samples, and Process 4.1 was employed to test the mediating role of negative affect and the moderating role of different stages of adolescence in the pathway linking psychological abuse/neglect to suicidal ideation. ResultsA total of 2 119 left-behind adolescents (mean age: 14.94±1.20 years) completed the study, with males comprising 51.34% (1 088/2 119) and females 48.66% (1 031/2 119).Among left-behind adolescents, scores on CPANS psychological neglect subscale showed positive correlations with both psychological abuse subscale scores and PANAS-C negative affect subscale scores (r=0.446, 0.496, P<0.01). Additionally, CPANS psychological neglect and psychological abuse subscale scores were also positively correlated with PANSI scores (r=0.487, 0.508, P<0.01). Furthermore, PANAS-C negative affect subscale scores demonstrated a positive correlation with PANSI scores (r=0.499, P<0.01). Negative affect partially mediated the relationship between psychological abuse/psychological neglect and suicidal ideation, with effect sizes of 0.166 (95% CI: 0.141~0.191) and 0.131 (95% CI: 0.112~0.152). Different stages of adolescence moderated the latter part (negative emotion → suicidal ideation) of the indirect mediation path from psychological neglect to suicidal ideation through negative affect (β=-0.066, P<0.01). ConclusionBoth psychological neglect and psychological abuse may influence suicidal ideation among left-behind adolescents via negative affect. Moreover, different stages of adolescence may moderate the indirect path from psychological neglect to suicide ideation through negative affect.

Objective:
To investigate how parental divorce impacts psychological abuse and neglect among middle and high school students, so as to provide evidence for the development of family intervention strategies for mental health promotion.
Methods:
A stratified random cluster sampling method was employed to select students from 23 middle and high schools in Nanchong, Neijiang, and Luzhou. Online questionnaires utilizing the General Data Questionnaire and the Child Psychological Abuse and Neglect Scale (CPANS) were administered. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to compare individual characteristics between parent divorce and the control groups. The χ 2 test was then employed to analyze differences in psychological abuse and neglect across variables, with Logistic regression used to treat psychological abuse and neglect as dependent variables.
Results:
After PSM, there were 1 898 cases in both parent divorce and control groups. There was no significant difference in gender composition between the two groups ( χ 2=0.03, P >0.05). Compared to the control group, after controlling for various factors including gender, phase of studying, parental education, whether to live in school, and long term caregivers of the student, the risk of experiencing psychological abuse ( OR=1.43, 95%CI =1.26-1.63) and neglect ( OR=1.53, 95%CI =1.33-1.75) was significantly higher in parentdivorce group ( P <0.05).
Conclusions
Parental divorce significantly impacts psychological abuse and neglect experienced by middle and high school students. Therefore, support and intervention efforts should be intensified for students from divorced or unstable marriage families.

Objective To compare the discrepancies among results of three commonly used laboratory direct test methods for maximal oxygen uptake(VO2max),explore their linear regression relationships,mutual predictability and comparability.Methods Using a quasi-experimental design of cluster sampling and within-group interaction design,20 male cross-country skiers were tested for VO2max using the Bruce protocol(Method 1),90-second incremental load exercise on power bicycle(Method 2),and 1-minute incremental load exercise on treadmill(Method 3),with an interval of one week.The indepen-dent and dependent variable were the three VO2max test methods and the VO2max,respectively.Results Significant differences were found in the average VO2max of the three test results,with the value mea-sured by Method 1 ranking the first,followed by that assessed by Method 3 and Method 2(P<0.05).Moreover,the frequency of individual differences in the results of the three methods showed that the VO2max of Method 1 was about 6 and 3 ml/min·kg higher than that measured by Method 2 and 3.However,at the same treadmill speed,the average blood lactate evaluated using Method 3 was higher than Method 1,and the speed reached aerobic and anaerobic thresholds about one speed unit(1 km/h)lower than Method 1.Meanwhile,linear regression analyses of the test results between Method 1 and 2,as well as Method 1 and 3 showed that both the regression models and coefficients were statis-tically significant(P<0.001),with the R-squared values of 9.25 and 9.05,respectively.Conclusion The Bruce protocol performs best in assessing the maximum value of the athlete's VO2max phase,whose results have linear regression relationships with the other two methods,and can be used for pre-dicting their results.Moreover,athletes of different events and levels can choose different VO2max test methods accordingly.Lastly,the speed and heart rate ranges corresponding to the aerobic and anaero-bic thresholds can serve as an effective and convenient method to control the training intensity.

BackgroundStress is closely related to migraine attacks, however, previous studies on stressors, stress responses and their impact on the daily life of college students with migraine remain unclear. ObjectiveTo explore the impact of stressors and stress responses on the daily life of college students with migraine, in order to provide references for improving daily life of this population. MethodsFrom August 2018 to August 2019, 458 students from North Sichuan Medical College who met the International Classification of Headache Diseases third edition (ICHD-3), were selected using random sampling method. General data and headache characteristics were collected. The 6-item Headache Impact Test Questionnaire (HIT-6) was used to assess the impact of migraine on daily life. Student-Life Stress Inventory (SLSI) was used to assess the stressors and stress responses. Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Hamilton Depression Scale-24 item (HAMD-24) were used to assess anxiety and depressive symptoms. Pearson correlation analysis were used to examine the relationship between HIT-6 score and scores on various scales. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors on daily life in college students with migraine. ResultsIn the SLSI, stressors in the dimensions of frustration (r=0.138, P<0.01), conflict (r=0.168, P<0.01), pressure (r=0.157, P<0.01), change (r=0.148, P<0.01), self-imposed (r=0.158, P<0.01) , as well as physiological response (r=0.256, P<0.01), emotional response (r=0.241, P<0.01), behavioral response (r=0.164, P<0.01), HAMA total score (r=0.192, P<0.01), dHAMD-24 total score (r=0.250, P<0.01), and SLSI total score (r=0.250, P<0.01), were positively correlated with HIT-6 score. Cognitive response (r=-0.104, P<0.05) was negatively correlated with HIT-6 score. Stepwise multiple linear regression revealed that physiological response (β=0.140, P<0.05), anxiety (β=0.159, P<0.05), and cognitive response (β=-0.091, P<0.05) could predict the impact on daily life of college students with migraine. ConclusionPhysiological response, cognitive response and anxiety may be the independent influencing factors on the daily life of college students with migraine.

PiT2 is an inorganic phosphate (Pi) transporter whose mutations are linked to primary familial brain calcification (PFBC). PiT2 mainly consists of two ProDom (PD) domains and a large intracellular loop region (loop7). The PD domains are crucial for the Pi transport, but the role of PiT2-loop7 remains unclear. In PFBC patients, mutations in PiT2-loop7 are mainly nonsense or frameshift mutations that probably cause PFBC due to C-PD1131 deletion. To date, six missense mutations have been identified in PiT2-loop7; however, the mechanisms by which these mutations cause PFBC are poorly understood. Here, we found that the p.T390A and p.S434W mutations in PiT2-loop7 decreased the Pi transport activity and cell surface levels of PiT2. Furthermore, we showed that these two mutations attenuated its membrane localization by affecting adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK)- or protein kinase B (AKT)-mediated PiT2 phosphorylation. In contrast, the p.S121C and p.S601W mutations in the PD domains did not affect PiT2 phosphorylation but rather impaired its substrate-binding abilities. These results suggested that missense mutations in PiT2-loop7 can cause Pi dyshomeostasis by affecting the phosphorylation-regulated cell-surface localization of PiT2. This study helps understand the pathogenesis of PFBC caused by PiT2-loop7 missense mutations and indicates that increasing the phosphorylation levels of PiT2-loop7 could be a promising strategy for developing PFBC therapies.

OBJECTIVE:
To present on a prenatally diagnosed case with complex structural rearrangements of chromosome 8.
METHODS:
Chromosome karyotyping, chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) were carried out for a fetus with increased nuchal thickness.
RESULTS:
The karyotype of the amniotic fluid sample showed extra materials on 8p. FISH revealed a centromeric signal at the terminal of 8p with absence of telomeric signal. CMA revealed partial deletion of 8p23.3 [(208049_2256732)×1], partial duplication of 8p23.3p23.2 [(2259519_3016818)×3], and partial duplication of 8q [8q11.1q12.2(45951900_60989083)×3].
CONCLUSION
The complex structural rearrangements of chromosome 8 in this case has differed from the commonly seen inv dup del(8p).

Rice stripe virus (RSV) transmitted by the small brown planthopper causes severe rice yield losses in Asian countries. Although viral nuclear entry promotes viral replication in host cells, whether this phenomenon occurs in vector cells remains unknown. Therefore, in this study, we systematically evaluated the presence and roles of RSV in the nuclei of vector insect cells. We observed that the nucleocapsid protein (NP) and viral genomic RNAs were partially transported into vector cell nuclei by utilizing the importin α nuclear transport system. When blocking NP nuclear localization, cytoplasmic RSV accumulation significantly increased. In the vector cell nuclei, NP bound the transcription factor YY1 and affected its positive regulation to FAIM. Subsequently, decreased FAIM expression triggered an antiviral caspase-dependent apoptotic reaction. Our results reveal that viral nuclear entry induces completely different immune effects in vector and host cells, providing new insights into the balance between viral load and the immunity pressure in vector insects.

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence rate and influencing factors of sleep insufficiency in medical students with migraine, and to provide a reference for alleviating the sleep problems in medical students. MethodsFrom July 2018 to July 2019, a random cluster sampling method was implemented to choose 546 medical students who met the diagnostic criteria of the International Classification of Headache Disorders, third edition (ICHD-3) for migraine in North Sichuan Medical College. Students were divided into sleep sufficiency group (n=367) and sleep insufficiency group (n=179) based on whether the nightly sleep duration was more than 6 hours. General demographic and clinical data of medical students were collected. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to assess the sleep quality. Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Hamilton Depression Scale-24 item (HAMD-24) were used to evaluate the anxiety and depression states. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was adopted to assess the pain degree, and the 6-item Headache Impact Test Questionnaire (HIT-6) was applied to evaluate the impact of headache on daily life. Then Logistic regression analysis was conducted to screen the influencing factors of sleep insufficiency in medical students with migraine. ResultsAmong 546 medical students with migraine, 179(32.78%) had sleep insufficiency. There were significant differences in age (t=2.107), frequency of headache attacks (Z=-2.972), anxiety status (χ²=14.053), depression status (χ²=10.773), total score of PSQI (t=-13.247) and sleep quality (χ²=94.754) between sleep sufficiency group and sleep insufficiency group (P<0.05 or 0.01). Correlation analysis showed that sleep duration in migraine patients was negatively correlated with age (r=-0.100, P<0.01), and positively correlated with frequency of headache attacks, anxiety status, and depression status (r=0.135, 0.169, 0.139, P<0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis denoted that age (OR=0.860, 95% CI: 0.743~0.996, P=0.045), frequency of headache attacks (OR=1.051, 95% CI: 1.006~1.098, P=0.026) and depression status (OR=1.712, 95% CI: 1.024~2.861, P=0.040) were influencing factors of sleep insufficiency in medical students with migraine. ConclusionMedical students with migraine suffer a high prevalence rate of sleep insufficiency, moreover, the frequency of headache attack and depression status are risk factors, and age is a protective factor for sleep insufficiency in medical students with migraine.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of anxiety and depression on Internet gaming disorder in medical students, and to evaluate the moderating effect of gender, so as to provide references for the prevention and intervention of Internet gaming disorder in medical students. MethodsIn November 2021, a total of 11 771 medical students from a medical college in Sichuan province participated in an online survey through Wenjuanxing platform. Participants completed the Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) and the nine-item Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form (IGDS9-SF). Then a hierarchical multiple regression analysis was conducted to discuss the moderating role of gender in the relationships between anxiety, depression and Internet gaming disorder in medical students. Results①Males scored lower on SDS (t=-8.302, P<0.01), and higher on IGDS9-SF than females (t=33.384, P<0.01). ②SAS score of medical students was positively correlated with SDS score (r=0.735, P<0.01), SAS and SDS scores were positively correlated with IGDS9-SF score in medical students (r=0.288, 0.238, P<0.01). ③Anxiety and depression could positively predict Internet gaming disorder (β=0.245, 0.058, t=18.864, 4.444, P<0.01). ④Gender played a moderating effect between anxiety and Internet gaming disorder (β=-0.194, t=-4.518, P<0.01). ConclusionAnxiety and depression have a positive predictive effect on Internet gaming disorder in medical students. Furthermore, the effects of anxiety on Internet gaming disorder are moderated by gender, and the anxiety of male students exhibits a markedly stronger impact on Internet gaming disorder than that of female students.
