Objective: To analyze the association of mother-child interaction and screen exposure of preschool children with psychological and behavioural problems, so as to provide guidance for promoting the psychological development of preschool children. Methods: From November to December 2024, a convenience cluster sampling method was used to survey 2 977 mothers of preschool children in Daguan and Yingjiang districts of Anqing City. The Chinese Parent-Child Interaction Scale (CPCIS) was applied to evaluate the quality of mother-child interaction, and the Conners Parent Symptom Questionnaire (PSQ) was used to assess the psychological and behavioral problems of preschool children. Binary Logistic regression was applied to analyze the association of mother-child interaction, screen exposure and their combined effect on psychological and behavioral problems among preschool children. Results: The detection rate of psychological and behavioral problems among preschool children was 13.9%. Binary Logistic regression results showed that low scores of mother-child interaction ( OR=2.31, 95%CI =1.72-3.11) and high screen exposure ( OR= 1.52 , 95%CI =1.23-1.88) were higher risks for psychological and behavioral problems in preschool children; the results of the combined effect showed that preschool children in low scores of mother-child interaction and low screen exposure group ( OR=2.18, 95%CI =1.46-3.28), low scores of mother-child interaction and high screen exposure group ( OR=3.13, 95%CI =2.10- 4.65 ) had significantly higher risks of abnormal detection in psychological and behavioral problems, compared to those in the high scores of mother-child interaction and low screen exposure group respectively (all P <0.05). Conclusions Both screen exposure and mother- child interaction are associated with psychological and behavioral problems in preschool children. High quality mother-child interaction can relieve the adverse effects of screen exposure on preschool children s psychological and behavioral development.

Objective To compare the value of stack-of-stars-volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination(Star-VIBE)and T1-volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination(T1-VIBE)MRI for displaying peripheral lung cancer.Methods Fifty-two patients with 56 peripheral lung cancer were prospectively enrolled,and chest Star-VIBE and T1-VIBE MRI were acquired.The morphological features were observed,and the subjective scores were recorded.The maximum diameter,signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)and contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR)of lesions were measured based on Star-VIBE and T1-VIBE MRI,respectively.Taken CT as the references,the value of Star-VIBE and T1-VIBE MRI for displaying peripheral lung cancer were compared.Results Star-VIBE MRI had higher scores for displaying spiculation sign,lobulation sign,pleural depression sign and halo sign than T1-VIBE(both P＜0.05).CNR and SNR of Star-VIBE MRI were significantly higher than those of T1-VIBE(both P＜0.001).No significant difference of the maximum diameter of lesions measured based on Star-VIBE and T1-VIBE MRI compared with CT was found,nor between Star-VIBE and T1-VIBE MRI(all P＞0.05).Conclusion Star-VIBE MRI had better value for displaying peripheral lung cancer than T1-VIBE.

Objective To study the effect of spectrum irradiation combined with operative laparoscopy on inflammatory reaction and immune function in children with appendicitis.Methods 120 children with appendicitis from January 2022 to January 2023 were selected as the study subjects,randomly divided them into two groups using a random number table method:the control group(n = 60)and the study group(n = 60).The control group underwent laparoscopic minimally invasive appendectomy,and the study group underwent spectrum irradiation combined with laparoscopic minimally invasive appendectomy.The two groups compared perioperative recovery,procalcitonin(PCT),C-reactive protein(CRP)level,cellular immune function(CD4+,CD8+,and CD4+/CD8+),humoral immune function[immunoglobulin M(IgM),immunoglobulin G(IgG),C3,and C4],pain visual analogue scale(VAS),Alvarado score,and treatment effect and postoperative complication rate.Results Compared with the control group,the study group showed a significant reduction in the time to first anal exhaust and hospital stay after surgery,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with preoperative levels,the levels of PCT and CRP in both groups of patients increased at 12 and 24 h postoperatively,with the highest levels occurring at 12 h postoperatively;The PCT and CRP levels in the study group were lower than those in the control group at 12 and 24 h after surgery,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with preoperative data,the CD4+,CD8+,and CD4+/CD8+ levels decreased in both groups at 12 and 24 h postoperatively,with the lowest levels observed at 12 h postoperatively;The CD4+,CD8+,and CD4+/CD8+ levels in the study group were higher than those in the control group at 12 and 24 h after surgery,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with preoperative levels,the levels of IgM,IgG,C3,and C4 in both groups of patients decreased after surgery,with the lowest levels occurring 12 h after surgery;The levels of IgM,IgG,C3,and C4 in the study group were higher than those in the control group at 12 and 24 h after surgery,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with preoperative conditions,the VAS and Alvarado scores in both groups of patients decreased at 12 and 24 h after surgery.The VAS and Alvarado scores of the study group were lower than those of the control group at 12 and 24 h after surgery,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the study group had a higher overall effective rate and a lower total incidence of complications,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Spectrum irradiation combined with operative laparoscopy can reduce postoperative inflammatory reaction,and improve immune function in children with appendicitis,shorten inflammatory reaction and immunosuppression time,reduce pain,and have a low incidence of postoperative complications,with ideal effect.

Objective To explore the expression and clinical significance of tissue inhibitor of matrix metal-loproteinases(TIMP)-1 and pentraxin-3(PTX3)in the serum of patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypop-nea syndrome(OSAHS).Methods A total of 120 patients with OSAHS admitted to the hospital from 2021 to 2022 were selected as the study group,and another 114 healthy people who underwent the physical exami-nation in the same period were selected as the control group.The severity of OSAHS was determined accord-ing to the apnea-hypopnea index(AHI)and the minimum oxygen saturation(LSpO2),and the patients were divided into mild group(66 cases)and the moderate-severe group(54 cases).Serum TIMP-1 and PTX3 levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Pearson method was used to analyze the correlation between serum TIMP-1,PTX3 and AHI,LSpO2.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive value of serum TIMP-1 and PTX3 on the severity of disease in patients with OSAHS.Logistic regression was used to analyze the factors influencing the severity of the disease in OSAHS patients.Results Serum TIMP-1,PTX3 and AHI levels in the study group were higher than those in the control group,and LSpO2 level was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).The body mass index(BMI),the proportion of hypertension history,the proportion of coronary heart disease history,the levels of total choles-terol,triglycerides,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,TIMP-1,PTX3 and AHI in the moderate-severe group were significantly higher than those in the mild group,and the high density lipoprotein cholesterol,LSpO2 lev-el was significantly lower than that in the mild group(P<0.05).Pearson method results showed that serum TIMP-1,PTX3 levels were positively correlated with AHI(r=0.428,0.392,P<0.05),and serum TIMP-1,PTX3 levels were negatively correlated with LSpO2(r=-0.645,-5.836,P<0.05).The results of the ROC curve showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of serum TIMP-1 and PTX3 alone predicted the severity of the patients'disease was 0.813 and 0.777,with cut-off values were 2.47 μg/L and 7.23 ng/L,with the sensi-tivity of 70.37%and 77.78%and the specificity of 77.27%and 72.23%,respectively.The AUC for predic-ting the severity of patients'disease by combining the two was 0.866,which was significantly higher than those of serum TIMP-1(Z=2.067,P=0.039)and PTX3 alone(Z=2.331,P=0.020).Logistic regression a-nalysis showed that TIMP-1,PTX3,history of hypertension,and history of coronary artery disease,AHI and LSpO2 were influential factors for severity of disease in patients with OSAHS(P<0.05).Conclusion TIMP-1 and PTX3 are both up-regulated in the serum of OSAHS patients and closely related to the severity of the disease,and they are the influential factors in the severity of OSAHS patients.

Objective:To explore the real experience and needs of successful aging among urban elderly people who participated in intergenerational raising.Methods:This study was a qualitative study. From February to April 2023, purposive sampling was used to select 10 elderly individuals from Fanjingjiayuan Community in Changqing District, Jinan City who participated in intergenerational raising as the research subject. Semi-structured interviews and face-to-face nonverbal behavior observation methods were used to collect data, while Colaizzi's 7-step analysis method was used to summarize, analyze the data and extract themes.Results:A total of three themes and 10 sub-themes were extracted, namely positive psychological feelings (self-realization, obtaining emotional support, health benefits), negative psychological feelings (intergenerational raising pressure, decreased life satisfaction, mental stress, physical and mental exhaustion), and the need to promote successful aging (family support, community support, policy support) .Conclusions:Urban elderly people who participate in intergenerational raising have both negative and positive psychological experiences. Families and society should pay attention to the psychological feelings of participating in intergenerational raising of elderly people in urban communities, so as to promote successful aging of the elderly people.

During the development of therapeutic microRNAs (miRNAs or miRs), it is essential to define their pharmacological actions. Rather, miRNA research and therapy mainly use miRNA mimics synthesized in vitro. After experimental screening of unique recombinant miRNAs produced in vivo, three lead antiproliferative miRNAs against human NSCLC cells, miR-22-3p, miR-9-5p, and miR-218-5p, were revealed to target folate metabolism by bioinformatic analyses. Recombinant miR-22-3p, miR-9-5p, and miR-218-5p were shown to regulate key folate metabolic enzymes to inhibit folate metabolism and subsequently alter amino acid metabolome in NSCLC A549 and H1975 cells. Isotope tracing studies further confirmed the disruption of one-carbon transfer from serine to folate metabolites by all three miRNAs, inhibition of glucose uptake by miR-22-3p, and reduction of serine biosynthesis from glucose by miR-9-5p and -218-5p in NSCLC cells. With greater activities to interrupt NSCLC cell respiration, glycolysis, and colony formation than miR-9-5p and -218-5p, recombinant miR-22-3p was effective to reduce tumor growth in two NSCLC patient-derived xenograft mouse models without causing any toxicity. These results establish a common antifolate mechanism and differential actions on glucose uptake and metabolism for three lead anticancer miRNAs as well as antitumor efficacy for miR-22-3p nanomedicine, which shall provide insight into developing antimetabolite RNA therapies.
