Objective:
To explore the effects of grandparent involvement in parenting on health related behaviors among urban preschool children, so as to provide a basis for the development of interventions for unhealthy behaviors among preschool children with different parenting pattern.
Methods:
A total of 5 431 preschool children aged 3-6 years old in Xinbei District, Changzhou City, were selected by census method during January to October, 2022. General household characteristics and health related behaviors of children were investigated by questionnaires, and the differences in health related behaviors with different parenting pattern involving grandparents were explored by the χ 2 test. A multifactorial Logistic regression model was used to analyze the effects of grandparenting on preschool children s health behaviors.
Results:
About 51.2% of preschoolers were raised by both parents, 46.1 % were co parented by grandparents, and 2.7% were raised by grandparents. After multifactorial Logistic regression analysis controlling for age, gender, annual household income, and family structure, children co parented by grandparents had a reduced risk of screen exposure time>1 h/d ( OR =0.79, P <0.05), with increased risks of outdoor activity time<2 h/d ( OR =1.30, P < 0.05 ), sleep duration <10 h/d ( OR =1.31, P <0.05), sleep difficulties ( OR =1.39, P <0.05) and adverse eating behaviors ( OR =1.20, P < 0.05), compared with children parented by both parents. Children raised by grandparents were at increased risk for outdoor activity time<2 h/d ( OR =2.19) and unhealthy eating behaviors ( OR =1.39) ( P <0.05).
Conclusions
Compared with children raised by both parents, the incidence of unhealthy behaviors is increased in children raised by parents and grandparents and in children raised by full grandparents. Active intervention should be focused on unhealthy behaviors of preschool children with pareting involving grandparents to promote the physical and mental health of preschool children.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic accuracy of serological indicators and evaluate the diagnostic value of a new established combined serological model on identifying the minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) in patients with compensated cirrhosis.Methods:This prospective multicenter study enrolled 263 compensated cirrhotic patients from 23 hospitals in 15 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities of China between October 2021 and August 2022. Clinical data and laboratory test results were collected, and the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score was calculated. Ammonia level was corrected to the upper limit of normal (AMM-ULN) by the baseline blood ammonia measurements/upper limit of the normal reference value. MHE was diagnosed by combined abnormal number connection test-A and abnormal digit symbol test as suggested by Guidelines on the management of hepatic encephalopathy in cirrhosis. The patients were randomly divided (7∶3) into training set ( n=185) and validation set ( n=78) based on caret package of R language. Logistic regression was used to establish a combined model of MHE diagnosis. The diagnostic performance was evaluated by the area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic curve, Hosmer-Lemeshow test and calibration curve. The internal verification was carried out by the Bootstrap method ( n=200). AUC comparisons were achieved using the Delong test. Results:In the training set, prevalence of MHE was 37.8% (70/185). There were statistically significant differences in AMM-ULN, albumin, platelet, alkaline phosphatase, international normalized ratio, MELD score and education between non-MHE group and MHE group (all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that AMM-ULN [odds ratio ( OR)=1.78, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 1.05-3.14, P=0.038] and MELD score ( OR=1.11, 95% CI 1.04-1.20, P=0.002) were independent risk factors for MHE, and the AUC for predicting MHE were 0.663, 0.625, respectively. Compared with the use of blood AMM-ULN and MELD score alone, the AUC of the combined model of AMM-ULN, MELD score and education exhibited better predictive performance in determining the presence of MHE was 0.755, the specificity and sensitivity was 85.2% and 55.7%, respectively. Hosmer-Lemeshow test and calibration curve showed that the model had good calibration ( P=0.733). The AUC for internal validation of the combined model for diagnosing MHE was 0.752. In the validation set, the AUC of the combined model for diagnosing MHE was 0.794, and Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed good calibration ( P=0.841). Conclusion:Use of the combined model including AMM-ULN, MELD score and education could improve the predictive efficiency of MHE among patients with compensated cirrhosis.

Objective:To investigate the role of liver X-activated receptor (LXRα)/sterol-regulatory element binding protein (SREBP-1c) in arsenic induced lipid metabolism disorders in rats, and to provide a basis for study the mechanism of arsenic induced lipid metabolism disorders.Methods:Twenty-four healthy clean grade Wistar rats, were randomly divided into 4 groups according to body weight (80 - 100 g) by the random number table method, with 6 rats in each group, half male and half female. Rats in control group were given deionized water by gavage. The low, medium and high arsenic dose groups were given 2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 mg·kg -1·d -1 sodium arsenite solution by gavage, respectively. They were exposed to arsenic for 6 days a week for 4 months. At the end of the experiment, blood and liver samples of rats in each group were collected. The hepatic arsenic content was determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS); the serum levels of triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were measured by automatic biochemical analyzer. The mRNA expression levels of LXRα and SREBP-1c in liver tissues were determined by real-time PCR; the protein expression levels of LXRα, SREBP-1c, acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACC) and phospho-ACC (pACC) in liver tissues were determined by Western blotting. Results:The hepatic arsenic contents of rats in low, medium and high arsenic dose groups were (61.04 ± 4.98), (62.66 ± 6.71) and (87.86 ± 13.89) μg/g, respectively, which were higher than that in control group [(2.43 ± 0.63) μg/g, P < 0.05], and the hepatic arsenic content of rats in high arsenic dose group was higher than those in low and medium arsenic dose groups ( P < 0.05). The serum TG levels of rats in low, medium and high arsenic dose groups were (0.90 ± 0.17), (1.28 ± 0.24) and (1.82 ± 0.18) mmol/L, respectively, which were higher than that in control group [(0.50 ± 0.12) mmol/L, P < 0.05]; the serum LDL-C levels of rats in low, medium and high arsenic dose groups were (0.54 ± 0.04), (0.63 ± 0.07) and (0.69 ± 0.08) mmol/L, respectively, which were higher than that in control group [(0.27 ± 0.05) mmol/L, P < 0.05]; the serum TC levels of rats in medium and high arsenic dose groups were (1.88 ± 0.23) and (2.10 ± 0.10) mmol/L, respectively, which were higher than that in control group [(1.51 ± 0.14) mmol/L, P < 0.05]; the serum HDL-C levels of rats in medium and high arsenic dose groups were (0.84 ± 0.11) and (0.71 ± 0.14) mmol/L, respectively, which were lower than that in control group [(1.15 ± 0.08) mmol/L, P < 0.05]; and the serum levels of TG and LDL-C in medium and high arsenic dose groups were higher than those in low arsenic dose group ( P < 0.05), and the serum level of TG in high arsenic dose group was higher than that in medium arsenic dose group ( P < 0.05). The mRNA expression level of hepatic LXRα of rats in high arsenic dose group was higher than those in control group and low arsenic dose group ( P < 0.05); there was no significant difference in mRNA expression levels of hepatic SREBP-1c of rats between low, medium and high arsenic dose groups and control group ( P > 0.05). The protein expression levels of hepatic LXRα of rats in medium and high arsenic dose groups were higher than that in control group ( P < 0.05), and high arsenic dose group was higher than low arsenic dose group ( P < 0.05); the protein expression levels of hepatic SREBP-1c and ACC of rats in high arsenic dose group were higher than that in control group ( P < 0.05). There was a positive correlation between hepatic arsenic content in arsenic-exposed rats and the serum levels of TG, TC, LDL-C, the mRNA expression level of hepatic LXRα, the protein expression levels of hepatic LXRα, SREBP-1c and ACC ( r = 0.84, 0.62, 0.89, 0.55, 0.54, 0.64, 0.70, P < 0.05), and the serum level of HDL-C was negatively correlated with the hepatic arsenic content in arsenic-exposed rats ( r = - 0.75, P < 0.001). Conclusion:Sodium arsenite can increase the serum levels of TG, TC and LDL-C, decrease the serum level of HDL-C and increase the protein expression levels of LXRα and SREBP-1c in liver tissues, suggesting that arsenic induced lipid metabolism disorders in rats may be related to the upstream regulation mechanism of LXRα/SREBP-1c.
