[Objective]To investigate the association between screen content and the frequency of screen exposure at the age of one and a half years and hyperactive behavior in preschool,and to explore how the association is affected by the interaction between outdoor activities and screen behaviors,which could provide theoretical basis and feasible solutions for the prevention and intervention of behavioral problems in childhoood.[Methods]The survey was conducted from June 2022 to June 2023 in Huicheng District,Huizhou (China) stratified by whole cluster sampling methods. Parents and teachers of 5648 children in 61 kindergartens were sampled for questionnaire surveys. The Conners Teacher Rating Scale (TRS) was used to investigate hyperactive behavior. A self-administered questionnaire was used to investigate basic demographic information of children,screen content,frequency of screen exposure and outdoor activities at the age of one and a half years. Multivariate logistic regression was used to explore the association between video screen behavior and hyperactive behavior and its interaction with outdoor activities by controlling for covariates such as children's age,gender,and parental education.[Results]Result showed the overall prevalence of 3.2％ for hyperactive behavior,2.1％ for conduct problems,2.1％ for hyperactivity problems,1.3％ for inattention-passivity problems,and 0.9％ for hyperactivity index. After adjusting for confounding factors,multiple logistic regression analysis showed that screen exposure of "two to four times a week" at one and a half years old was associated with an increased detection rate of hyperactive behaviors in preschool children,with an estimated ORs (95％ CI) of 1.682 (1.141,2.480). Daily screen exposure was associated with increased detection rates of hyperactive behavior,conduct problems,hyperactivity issues,inattention-passivity problems,and hyperactivity index in pre-school age. The estimated ORs (95％ CI) were 2.136 (1.218,3.746),2.321 (1.185,4.546),2.300 (1.208,4.380),2.776 (1.267,6.085) and 3.640 (1.525,8.687),respectively. But the above associations were not found in children who were engaged in daily outdoor activities at the age of one and a half years (P value for interaction<0.001). No association was found between screen content and hyperactive behavior (P>0.05).[Conclusions]Frequency of screen exposure in early childhood is significantly associated with hyperactive behavior problems in preschool,and outdoor activities could weaken the correlation between high-frequency screen exposure and hyperactive behavior,suggesting that parents and schools should prioritize scientifically guiding children's video viewing behavior and outdoor activities,ensuring a well-arranged daily life,to lay a good foundation for the healthy development of children's behavior.

Children diagnosed with SLE combined with TMA between January 2017 and January 2023 at Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University, were selected as the TMA group, and SLE children without TMA were selected as the control group.According to the prognosis, children in the TMA group were further divided into the good prognosis group and the poor prognosis group.The data of the children were collected, including age, gender, SLE disease activity, clinical presentations at the time of diagnosis and at the time of thrombosis, laboratory examinations, treatment strategies, prognosis, and follow-up results.The chi-square test and Z-test were used for comparison of count data.The t-test was used for comparison of metrological pairing data.The Fisher′s exact test was used to compare the differences between the 2 groups in categorical variables.The univariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of poor prognosis. Results:There were 29 cases in the TMA group, and the incidence of TMA accounted for 2.53% of SLE patients; 33 cases were in the control group.The age at diagnosis of TMA was 13 years and 5 months (ranging from 9 years, 1 month and 5 days to 17 years and 4 months).The common clinical manifestations in order of prevalence were renal involvement (28 cases, 96.55%), hematologic involvement (26 cases, 89.66%), serous effusion (17 cases, 58.62%), rash (13 cases, 44.82%), and neurologic involvement (12 cases, 41.38%).Pleurisy or pericarditis, renal involvement and neurological involvement occurred more often in the TMA group than in the control group (17 cases vs.3 cases, 28 cases vs.10 cases, 12 cases vs.3 cases), and the TMA group showed less facial rash and arthritis than the control group (13 cases vs.25 cases, 4 cases vs.17 cases), and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05).The Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index score in the TMA group [(24.14±9.42) scores] was significantly higher than that in the control group [(10.18±9.42) scores], and the difference was statistically significant ( t=3.233, P<0.05).The hemoglobin level, platelet count, and complement C3 level of the children in the TMA group were significantly lower than those in the control group, whereas the double stranded DNA antibody, lactate dehydrogenase, D-dimer, urea, creatinine, ferritin level, and urine protein quantitation were significantly higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05).In the TMA group, 5 cases had decreased ADAMTS13 activity, and 5 cases had significantly increased complement C5b9.A total of 15 cases (51.72%) in the TMA group underwent renal biopsy, and 13 of them had combined renal TMA.In the TMA group, 28 patients (96.6%) received hormone therapy, 17 patients received plasma exchange, and 12 patients were treated with immunosuppressants and biologics; 19 patients (65.5%) improved, and 10 patients (34.5%) gave up the treatment due to deterioration of the disease.The urea level and peripheral blood fragmented erythrocyte rate in the good prognosis group were significantly lower than those in the poor prognosis group [(13.18±4.39) mmol/L vs.(21.16±10.14) mmol/L, t=2.975, P=0.006; 8/17 (47.06%) vs.7/7 (100%), χ2=5.929, P=0.015].The univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the fragmented erythrocyte, ADAMTS13 activity and urea were the independent risk factors for poor prognosis (all P<0.05). Conclusions:SLE patients with moderate-to-severe disease activity, especially children with hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and renal dysfunction as prominent manifestations, should be alert to the risk of TMA.Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial.

Objective To explore the role of quality control circle in reducing the rate of extravasation during"bolus-type"intravenous injection of radiopharmaceuticals.Methods A total of 624 patients who underwent emission computed tomography(ECT)examinations were retrospectively selected as the pre-quality control circle use analysis group,125 patients who underwent ECT examinations were selected as the post-quality control circle use experiment group,and 70 patients were selected as the control group.This study applied the continuous quality improvement tools of the quality control circle,including grasping the current situation,selecting injection tools,personnel training,brainstorming,root cause analysis,key factor evaluation,true cause verification,strategy formulation and measure implementation,to continuously improve the quality of"bolus-type"radioisotope injection and reduce the rate of radiopharmaceuticals extravasation.Results In the experiment group,the rate of radioisotope extravasation after nurses performed"bolus-type"intravenous injection was 14.2％,compared to 33.3％in the control group,an improvement of 19％,and the situation of radiopharmaceuticals extravasation was significantly improved.Skillful use of quality improvement tools,especially in areas such as insufficient compression time,improper compression method,slow blood flow speed in fine blood vessels,and failed puncture,was crucial for radioisotope sur-face imaging.Conclusion Through continuous quality improvement by the quality control circle,this study successfully reduces the rate of extravasation during"bolus-type"intravenous injection of radiopharmaceuticals,reduces skin contamination,and improves the quality of nuclear medicine images,which is of great significance for improving the safety and diagnostic accuracy of nuclear medicine ECT examinations.

Objective To construct the etoposide (VP-16)combined with cisplatin (DDP) chemotherapy scheme (EP chemotherapy scheme)resistant small cell lung cancer (SCLC)cell line H446/EP and to identify the drug resistance characteristics and explore the mechanism.Methods NCI-H446 cells were treated with increasing concentrations of VP-16 and DDP to construct an H446/EP cell line.H446/EP and NCI-H446 cells were used as the research objects.The cell viability was detected by MTT assay,and the resistance index (RI)of H446/EP cells was calculated.Cell cloning assay and Incucyte cell proliferation (label-free)assay were used to detect cell proliferation ability.Transcriptome sequencing was performed to analyze the enrichment of differentially expressed genes (DEGs)in the 2 cell lines.Western blotting was applied to detect the protein expression levels of drug resistance,DNA damage repair (DDR),and autophagy markers.Results MTT assay showed that the resistance index (RI)of H446/EP cells to VP-16,DDP,and DOX were 6.14,3.43,and 1.96,respectively.The results of cell cloning assay and Incucyte cell proliferation assay indicated that the proliferation ability was significantly higher in the H446/EP cells than the NCI-H446 cells (P<0.01).Transcriptome sequencing and pathway enrichment analysis displayed that the DEGs between H446/EP and NCI-H446 cells were enriched in tumor chemoresistance,DDR,and autophagy pathways.Western blot results showed the expression levels of MRP1,BCRP,RAD51,γ-H2AX,and LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ were significantly increased,and that of p62 was obviously decreased in the H446/EP cells when compared with the NCI-H446 cells (P<0.05).Conclusion An EP chemotherapy-resistant H446/EP cell line is successfully constructed.Stronger proliferation ability,increased expression of efflux transporters,and enhanced DDR and autophagy may be the mechanisms of the resistance of SCLC to EP chemotherapy scheme.

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether aldo-keto reductases(AKRs)can act as a nitrore-ductase(NR)and bioactivate aristolochic acid Ⅰ(AA-Ⅰ)to produce AA-Ⅰ-DNA adducts.METHODS① Human-induced hepatocytes(hiHeps)and human bladder RT4 cells were used as tool cells and treated with AA-Ⅰ0,0.5,1.0 and 2 μmol·L-1 for 24 h.Cell viability was detected using the CCK-8 method,and the half maximal inhibition concentration(IC50)was calculated using the CCK-8 method and the level of DNA adduct production was calculated.②hiHeps and RT4 cells were treated with AKR inhibitor luteotin(0,5,10 and 25 μmol·L-1)+AA-Ⅰ 0.2 and 1.0 μmol·L-1 for 24 h,respectively,and the levels of DNA adducts were detected by a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometer(LC-MS/MS).③hiHeps cells were incubated with 80 nmol·L-1 small interfering RNAs(si-AKRs)for 48 h and treated with AA-Ⅰ1.0 μmol·L-1 for 24 h.Real-time qualitative PCR(RT-qPCR)method was used to detect the mRNA expression of AKRs gene and LC-MS/MS technology was used to investigate the effect of specific AKR gene knockdown on DNA adduct levels.④500 nmol·L-1 human AKR recombinant proteins AKR1A1 and AA-Ⅰwere incubated in vitro under anaerobic conditions and the formation of AA-Ⅰ-DNA adducts was detected.RESULTS ①The IC50 of AA-Ⅰto hiHeps and RT4 cells was 1.9 and 0.42 μmol·L-1,respec-tively.The level of DNA adduct production of the two cell lines was significantly different(P<0.01).② Luteolin≥5 μmol·L-1 significantly inhibited the production of AA-Ⅰ-DNA adducts in both cells(P<0.05),and there was a concentration-dependent effect in hiHeps cells(P<0.01,R=0.84).③In the AKR family,the knockdown of AKR1A1 gene up to 80%inhibited the generation of AA-Ⅰ-DNA adducts by 30%-40%.④The AA-Ⅰ-DNA adducts were detected in the incubation of recombinant protein AKR1A1 and AA-Ⅰ under anaerobic conditions in vitro,approximately 1 adduct per 107 nucleotides.CONCLU-SION AKR1A1 is involved in AA-Ⅰ bioactivation,providing a reference for elucidation of the carcino-genic mechanism of AA-Ⅰ.

AIM: To study the protective effect of edaravone on renal injury induced by chronic intermittent hypoxia and its effect on Caspase-1 mediated pyroptosis signaling pathway in rats. METHODS: Twenty four SPF male SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group, intermittent hypoxia group, intermittent hypoxia + normal saline group and intermittent hypoxia + edaravone group, with 6 rats in each group. The four groups of rats were placed in the closed feeding chamber for modeling. The oxygen concentration in the NC group was maintained at about 21%; the IH group, IH + NS group and IH + EDA group were given regular input of pure oxygen, pure nitrogen and compressed air to form anoxic-reoxygenation cycle (60 s hypoxic period + 60 s reoxygenation period). During the hypoxic period, the oxygen concentration in the chamber was reduced to 6%-7%, and the rats in the IH + EDA group were intraperitoneally injected with edaravone at a dose of 5 mg/kg per day before modeling, while the rats in the IH + NS group were intraperitoneally injected with normal saline at the same dose per day. After 8 weeks of modeling, blood and kidney tissue samples were collected to measure the levels of Crea and Urea in each group. The pathological changes and fibrosis degree of kidney were observed under light microscope after HE and Masson staining. The content of malondialdehyde (MDA) and activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) were determined by chemical method. The expression levels of NLRP3, Caspase-1 and IL-1β in renal tissues were determined by immunohistochemical staining. The expression levels of caspase-1 and IL-1β in renal tissues were determined by Western blot. GSDMD and IL-18 mRNA were detected by RT-PCR. RESULTS: After intermittent hypoxia exposure, serum Crea and Urea were increased significantly (P < 0.01), renal tubules were damaged by pathology, collagen fiber deposition occurred in balloon space of renal units, MDA content was increased and SOD activity was decreased (P < 0.01). Caspase-1, NLRP3, IL-1β protein expression increased (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05), GSDMD mRNA and IL-18 mRNA amplification increased (P < 0.01); After Edaravone intervention, the above indexes showed a reverse trend compared with that after intermittent hypoxia exposure, and the pathological damage of kidney was reduced (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Chronic intermittent hypoxia may mediate kidney injury through oxidative stress activation of caspase-1 involved in the cell pyroptosis signaling pathway, while edaravone may inhibit the activation of pyroptosis signaling pathway by scavenging oxygen free radicals and down-regulating the level of oxidative stress in the body, thus playing a protective role in kidney.
