Abstract
The popularization of the use of electronic has become a global trend, and children are exposed to devices at younger ages. A large proportion of children and adolescents spend on screen time more than 2 h which is recommended in most guidelines. The paper reviews possible effects of screen time on physical and mental health, as well as mental disorders in children and adolescents. It is found that excessive screen time showed negative impacts on mental health, including depression, anxiety, mood disorder, social adaptational problems, behavioral disorders, self injurious behaviors, and health risk behaviors. Much attention has been paid on the association between excessive screen time and mental health of children and adolescents, while possible mechanisms and influencing factors are lacking. Effective intervention studies are needed to provide a basis for child and adolescent health promotion.

Objective:To compare the effect of uPWS R15 software based on deep learning with MIM-Maestro 6.9 software based on atlas library to automatically delineate the organs at risk of prostate cancer in order to provide a reference for clinical application.Methods:The CT data of 90 prostate cancer patients admitted to the Department of Oncology Radiotherapy of the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College from 2018 to 2022 were retrospectively selected. Based on the uPWS R15 software developed by Shanghai United Imaging Medical Technology Company and the MIM-Maestro 6.9 software developed by Beijing Mingwei Vision Medical Software Company, the effects of uPWS and MIM software on automatic delineation of organs at risk were evaluated according to five parameters, including delineation time (T), Dice similarity coefficient (DSC), Jaccard similarity coefficient (JSC), Hausdorff distance (HD) and the mean distance to agreement (MDA).Results:The sketching time of uPWS software was less than that of MIM software. There were no significant differences in the sketching effect of femoral head and skin between the two software (all P>0.05). The delineation of right kidney ( tMDA=-3.43, zDSC=-4.03, zJSC=-4.16, P<0.05), left kidney ( tMDA=-3.87, zDSC=-4.18, zJSC=-4.41, P<0.05), small intestine ( tMDA=-8.57, zDSC=-9.99, tJSC=14.21, P<0.05) and rectum ( zMDA=-4.00, tDSC=-9.98, tJSC= 9.72, P< 0.05) except HD, was statistically different. The bladder ( z=-7.88, -9.00, -8.17, -8.74, P<0.05) and spinalcord ( z=-3.87, -4.43, 4.03, 3.05, P<0.05) were also delineated with significant differences. The DSC automatically delineated by uPWS software was >0.7, while the DSC automatically delineated by MIM software was >0.7 for all other organs at risk except small intestine and rectum. In addition, the HD, MDA and JSC values of the organs at risk (bilateral femoral head, bilateral kidneys, spinal cord, bladder, skin, rectum and small intestine) automatically delineated by uPWS software were generally better than those with MIM software. Conclusions:The uPWS software outlines better than the MIM software, but the MIM software can also be used clinically with modifications to the small bowel and rectum, saving a great deal of time in preparation for radiation therapy.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Shenling Baizhusan on the intestinal inflammatory reaction in the rat model of Crohn's disease (CD) and study its relationship with p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, so as to provide an experimental and theoretical basis for the clinical application of this prescription. MethodA total of 72 SD rats (36 males and 36 females) were randomized into a normal group (n=12) and a modeling group (n=60). The rats in the modeling group were treated with 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS, 3 mL·kg-1) and then randomized into model, mesalazine (0.21 g·kg-1·d-1), and low-, medium-, and high-dose (5.88, 11.76, 23.59 g·kg-1·d-1, respectively) Shenling Baizhusan groups. The rats in the drug intervention groups were administrated with corresponding agents by gavage for 14 days, and those in the normal and model groups with an equal volume of distilled water. The disease activity index (DAI) score of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and the colon mucosal damage index (CMDI) score of rats in each group were assessed after gavage. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the histopathological changes in the colon, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to measure the levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1 (IL-1), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the serum. Western blotting was employed to determine the protein levels of p38 MAPK, phosphorylated p38 MAPK (p-p38 MAPK), p65 nuclear factor (NF)-κB, and phosphorylated-p65 NF-κB (p-NF-κB p65) in the colon tissue. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was conducted to determine the miRNA levels of p38 MAPK and NF-κB p65 in the colon tissue. ResultThe model group had higher DAI and CMDI scores than the normal group (P<0.01) and showed damaged epithelial cells in the colon mucosa, disarrangement of glands, damaged simple tubular glands, local necrosis, infiltration of a large number of inflammatory cells and lymphocytes in each layer, and presence of ulceration. Compared with the normal group, the model group showed elevated levels of TNF-α, IL-1, and IL-6 in the serum (P<0.01) and up-regulated protein levels of p-p38 MAPK and p-NF-κB p65 and miRNA level of p38 MAPK in the colon tissue (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, mesalazine and high- and medium-dose Shenling Baizhusan decreased the DAI and CMDI scores (P<0.05, P<0.01), repaired the mucosal epithelium of the colon tissue, increased the glands and goblet cells, lowered the levels of TNF-α, IL-1, and IL-6 in the serum (P<0.05, P<0.01), and down-regulated the protein levels of p-p38 MAPK and p-NF-κB p65 and the miRNA level of p38 MAP in the colon mucosa (P<0.01, P<0.05). ConclusionShenling Baizhusan can reduce intestinal inflammation of CD rats and promote the repair of colon mucosa by down-regulating the protein levels of p-p38 MAPK and pNF-κB p65 and the miRNA level of p38 MAPK to inhibit the p38 MAPK pathway.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is one of the main manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease. Because of its lingering and refractory nature, it has become a major public health challenge worldwide. In the treatment of UC, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) effectively relieves clinical syndromes, shortens the treatment period, reduces the frequency of recurrence, improves the quality of life, and reduces the occurrence of complications. To study the specific mechanism of TCM in the treatment of UC and screen out suitable drugs under the guidance of syndrome differentiation, the suitable UC animal model in the combination of disease and syndrome is used as an important method. This paper summarized and compared the UC animal model in the combination of disease and syndrome from five aspects, including selection of model animal species, sexual selection, preparation methods of UC animal model in the combination of disease and syndrome, indicators of model evaluation, and the main mechanism of TCM intervention in UC animal model in the combination of disease and syndrome. This paper aimed to provide references for the establishment of the optimal UC animal model in the combination of disease and syndrome. Research shows that UC syndrome mainly studied at present includes damp-heat syndrome, spleen deficiency syndrome, spleen-kidney Yang deficiency syndrome, spleen deficiency and dampness accumulation syndrome, liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome, and cold-heat mixed syndrome.In the modeling method, the etiology simulation method is mainly used to first copy the syndrome type before the chemical agents or immune preparations were used to induce the disease model,and rats were often selected as the research objects,and the replication cycle was 7 to 28 days.The selected chemical reagents were mainly 5% dextran sulfate sodium(DSS) free drink, 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid(TNBS) 100 mg·kg-1 and 50% ethanol 0.25 mL mixed reagent enema.This model replication method can take into account both UC pathogenesis characteristics of pathology of western medicine and TCM, syndrome type of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine for interpretation pathological changes and TCM treatment of UC associated mechanism is of great significance, and help to help toestablish the optimal condition in combination with UC animal models for reference, for further research on prevention and treatment of UC specific mechanism of action of TCM model basis.

The most common manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and the global incidence of IBD is on the rise. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is advantageous in the treatment of IBD. IBD, with TCM names based on clinical symptoms, mostly belongs to recurrent dysentery, long dysentery, diarrhea, dysentery, bowel, and other categories. In TCM pathogenesis of IBD, spleen deficiency and exuberant dampness predominate in the whole course of the disease. Since the lung is associated with the large intestine and the lung Qi and spleen Qi are interconnected, the lung Qi and spleen Qi are deficient and the dampness and heat accumulate internally, which caused collateral obstruction by stagnant blood and the development of IBD. From the perspective of "associating lung with large intestine",it is believed that the main mechanism of IBD is the Qi imbalance and abnormal metabolism of fluids in the lung and the intestine,and the nutrient-Yin injury of the lung and the intestine. According to the chronic, recurrent, and diffuse pathogenesis characteristics and main clinical manifestations of IBD, IBD is closely related to the lung and the intestine. In terms of therapeutic principles, IBD can be treated by tonifying the spleen and replenishing the lung, which highlights the treatment of the intestine from the lung. To be specific, in time of tonifying the spleen and removing dampness, the intestine is regulated by tonifying the spleen and replenishing the lung. Shenling Baizhusan, a commonly used classical prescription for IBD, is mainly potent in replenishing Qi, invigorating the spleen, draining dampness, checking diarrhea, and especially "reinforcing earth to generate metal". It can enhance the function of the lung through "reinforcing earth to generate metal", which in turn regulates the intestine and promote the improvement of IBD. The present study clarified the mechanism of Shenling Baizhusan in regulating the intestine by tonifying the spleen and replenishing the lung. On the basis of modern research, its therapeutic effect on IBD was achieved through multiple links, such as regulation of the level of inflammatory factors, immunoregulation, barrier function improvement via mucosal repair, and intestinal flora. The findings of this study are expected to provide new ideas for the regulation of the lung-spleen-large intestine axis in the syndrome differentiation and treatment of IBD and subsequent experimental research.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of a scoring model based on MRI images for diagnosing invasive placenta accreta and associated adverse clinical outcomes.Methods:This retrospective cohort study involved 260 patients delivered at Peking University Third Hospital from January 2015 to December 2018, who were suspected to be placenta accreta with two or more ultrasound image findings and underwent MRI examination. Placenta accreta was finally diagnosed and classified based on the intraoperative clinical findings or pathological examination. Adverse clinical outcomes were defined as intraoperative bleeding ≥1 500 ml and/or having hysterectomy. Quantitative and qualitative interpretation of five MRI signs were performed, including intraplacental low-intensity band on T2 weighted imaging, abnormal intraplacental vascularization, vascularization of uterovesical interface, uterine bulging and cervical involvement. Chi-square and t test were used for univariate analysis of the five MRI signs and the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve of each MRI sign for predicting invasive placenta accreta and adverse clinical outcomes were drawn. The predictive value was assigned as 1 when ≥ the cutoffs that matched to the maximum Yoden index values, and was assigned as 0 when below the cutoffs. A scoring model based on the five MRI signs was established, ROC curves of the model for predicting invasive placenta accreta and adverse clinical outcomes were drawn and the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity and Youden index were calculated. Results:(1) Univariate analysis showed that all five MRI signs were significantly associated with invasive placenta accreta and adverse clinical outcomes. Except for cervical involvement, the other four signs had an AUC value of greater than 0.5 in predicting invasive placenta accreta and adverse clinical outcomes. (2) The predictive cut-off values of abnormal intraplacental vascularization image and intraplacental dark band area on T2 weighted imaging were 2.0 cm 2 and 0.6 cm 2, respectively, and were all 1.0 for the other three signs. The AUC value of MRI signs-based scoring model for predicting invasive placenta accreta was 0.863. When the score was ≥ 2 points, the diagnostic sensitivity was 0.836 and the specificity was 0.726. The scoring model predicted adverse clinical outcomes with an AUC of 0.841. When the score was ≥3 points, the predictive sensitivity was 0.707 and the specificity was 0.818. Conclusions:The scoring model based on MRI signs is of good value for the diagnosis of invasive placenta accreta and the prediction of adverse clinical outcomes.

Objective:
To preliminarily evaluate the effect of exosomes from human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) on the migration of epidermal cells.
Methods:
hADSCs were isolated from adipose tissues obtained from a healthy woman after liposuction, and subjected to culture. Exosomes were collected from the culture supernatant of hADSCs by using a modified method combining ultracentrifugation with ultrafiltration, and identified and isolated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) , dynamic light scattering (DLS) and Western blot analysis. Some cultured HaCaT cells were divided into several groups to be treated with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) at different concentrations of 0, 50, 100, 200, 250, 300, 400, 500, 600, 800 μmol/L for 1 hour, and cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) assay was performed to evaluate the effect of H2O2 on the survival rate of HaCaT cells. Some HaCaT cells were classified into 2 groups to be pretreated with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (normal group) or 100 μmol/L H2O2 (injury group) for 0.5 hour; then, HaCaT cells in the 2 groups were separately divided into treatment group and control group to be co-cultured with exosomes or not. Confocal fluorescence microscopy was conducted to confirm the uptake of PKH26-labelled exosomes by HaCaT cells, scratch assay to estimate the wound healing potential, and Transwell assay to evaluate the migratory activity of HaCaT cells. Statistical analysis was carried out by using one-way analysis of variance for comparison among groups, least significant difference (LSD) -

Objective? To explore the effects of family empowerment program based on comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) on care readiness of main caregivers, patients' deglutition function and nutritional status among geriatric patients with dysphagia. Methods? From January 2016 to June 2017, we selected 120 dysphagia patients and their 120 main caregivers of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital as subjects by convenience sampling. All of the subjects were divided into control group (n=60) and experimental group (n=60) with the method of the random number table. Control group carried out routine nursing. On the basis of that in control group, experimental group applied family empowerment program based on CGA. The care readiness of caregivers, patients' deglutition function and nutritional status were compared between two groups. Results? Through the course of study, a total of 13 patients quitted with 56 cases included in experimental group and 51 included in control group. After intervention, the scores of care readiness of main caregivers of experimental group and control group were (23.55±2.26) and (15.40±1.70) respectively with a statistical difference (t=-20.919, P< 0.01). The total effective rate of the deglutition function improvement of experimental group and control group were 85.71% and 68.63% respectively with a statistical difference (Z=-2.035, P<0.05). Three months after intervention, blood albumin, hemoglobin and the score of mini nutritional assessment of experimental group were (34.360±1.978) g/L, (120.900±9.031)g/L and (7.450±1.638) respectively statistically superior than those of control group (t=29.586, 17.370, 6.049;P<0.05). Conclusions? Family empowerment program based on CGA can effectively improve care readiness of main caregivers among geriatric patients with dysphagia, the deglutition function and nutritional status of dysphagia patients.
