Relationship between idolatry and perceived social support in secondary school students： the mediating role of peer attachment and life satisfaction / 四川精神卫生

BackgroundNowadays， idolatry is an important part of the spiritual life of secondary school students， making a significant impact on their physical and mental development. Previous research has examined the two-by-two relationship between idolatry， peer attachment， life satisfaction and perceived social support， but the potential mediating mechanisms between these variables remain to be explored. ObjectiveTo explore the mediating role of peer attachment and life satisfaction between idolatry and perceived social support， so as to provide references for mental health education for secondary school students. MethodsIn June 2022， 1 059 students currently enrolled in secondary school in Qiannan State， Guizhou Province were selected according to stratified random sampling method. In this study， assessment was performed using Celebrity Attitude Scale （CAS）， Peer Attachment Subscale from Revised Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment （IPPA-R）， Satisfaction with Life Scale （SWLS） and Perceived Social Support Scale （PSSS）. Pearson correlation analysis was used for correlation test. Model 6 in the SPSS Macro Process 3.3 was used to examine the mediating effect of peer attachment and life satisfaction between idolatry and perceived social support in secondary school students. Results①CAS score indicated positive correlation with scores of IPPA-R Peer Attachment Subscale， SWLS and PSSS （r=0.117， 0.097， 0.115， P<0.01）. IPPA-R score indicated positive correlation with scores of SWLS and PSSS （r=0.279， 0.421， P<0.01）. SWLS score was positively correlated with PSSS score （r=0.552， P<0.01）. ②The direct effect of idolatry on perceived social support was significant （β=0.059， P<0.05）. Both separate and chain mediating effects of peer attachment and life satisfaction between idolatry and perceived social support were significant （95% CI： 0.007~0.130， 0.004~0.054， 0.001~0.016， P<0.01）. The three effects above respectively accounted for 33.56%， 13.54% and 3.93% of the total effect. ConclusionIdolatry can affect secondary school students' perceived social support both directly and indirectly through peer attachment and life satisfaction.

MRTF-A mediates FN and ICAM-1expressions by NF-κB pathway in AGEs-induced GMCs / 中国药理学通报

Aim To observe the expression of MRTF-A in rat glomerular mesangial cells(GMCs) induced by advanced glycation end products(AGEs) and its effect on ICAM-1 and FN;to explore whether MRTF-A is involved in the process of diabetic nephropathy by affecting NF-κB pathway.Methods Under the condition of AGEs, CCG-1423 and anti-MRTF-A small interfering RNA were used to knock down MRTF-A and MRTF-A plasmid was used to activatt MRTF-A, The expression level of MRTF-A, ICAM-1, FN and p65 in nucleus were detected by Western blot.Results The protein expressions of MRTF-A was increased in AGEs-induced GMCs.The expressions of FN and ICAM-1 and p65 in nucleus were downregulated by knocking down MRTF-A.However, the expressions of FN, ICAM-1 and p65 in nucleus were upregulated by overexpressing MRTF-A.Conclusions AGEs can upregulate the expression of MRTF-A in GMCs, and MRTF-A mediates the protein expressions of FN and ICAM-1 by affecting NF-κB signaling pathway in AGEs-induced GMCs.
