Correlation between screen time, screen behavior type and anxiety, depression among children and adolescents in Jiangxi Province / 中国学校卫生

Objective@#To analyze the status and correlation between screen time, screen behavior type, and anxiety, depression among children and adolescents in Jiangxi Province, so as to provide a basis for effective intervention measures.@*Methods@#Using the method of stratified random sampling, 8 851 primary and secondary school students in 11 districts of Jiangxi Province were investigated by questionnaire during September to December in 2020. Anxiety and depression status were investigated using the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale for Children(CES-DC), respectively. Single factor analysis using χ 2-test, t-test,analysis of variance,and multivariate analysis using generalized linear models.@*Results@#On school days and weekends, 4.7% and 20.4% of primary and secondary school students in Jiangxi Province had a total screen time of over 2 hours per day, respectively. The weighted scores of the total screen time (primary school students: 1.88± 0.68, junior middle school students: 1.96±0.71, high school students: 2.03±0.80) and time spent for playing video games (primary school students: 1.51±0.64, junior middle school students: 1.62±0.69, high school students: 1.68±0.75) daily showed an upward trend with the increase of educational stage ( F =31.48, 42.13), and with significantly higher in boys (1.97±0.74, 1.66± 0.72) than girls (1.93±0.72, 1.53±0.66)( t =2.48, 9.07)( P <0.05). The average scores of state anxiety and trait anxiety were (42.20±9.05) and (40.65±9.85), which showed an upward trend with the increase of educational stage ( F =168.12, 241.98 ), and were higher in girls than boys ( t =6.63, 8.48)( P <0.01). The average score of depression was (11.99±11.00), which was lower in elementary school students than middle school students and high school students ( F =136.42), with significantly higher in girls ( t =6.85)( P <0.01). On school days, with the increase of total screen time and time spent for playing video games daily, the risk of state anxiety, trait anxiety, and depression among primary and secondary school students significantly increased ( OR = 6.70- 818.98, P <0.01). On weekends, among primary and secondary school students, the total screen time of >1-2 hours daily reduced the risk of state anxiety ( OR =0.30). The risk of developing trait anxiety among students playing video games for more than 2 hours daily was 2.50 times higher than those without screen behavior ( OR =2.50). The risk of developing depression with a total screen time of more than 2 hours daily was 3.15 times higher those whithout screen behavior ( OR =3.15). The risk of developing depression among students playing video games >0-1, >1-2, >2 h daily was 2.14, 2.50, 4.90 times that of those without screen behaviors ( OR =2.14, 2.50, 4.90), and showed an upward trend with the increase of educational stage ( P <0.05).@*Conclusions@#Screen behaviors of primary and middle school students in Jiangxi Province are positively associated with the risk of anxiety and depression, but the total daily video time of >1-2 h on weekends was negatively associated with state anxiety. It is necessary to control the screen time as much as possible and reduce the risk of anxiety and depression.

The mechanism of repressive effects of transthyretitin on the growth of human retinal microvascular endothelial cells under high glucose and hypoxia environment / 中华眼底病杂志

Objective To explore repressive effects of transthyretitin (TTR) on the growth of human retinal endothelial cells (hREC) under high glucose and hypoxia environment. Methods hRECs were divided into 8 groups, including normal glucose group (5.5 mmol/L glucose), hypoxia group, high glucose group (25.0 mmol/L glucose), high glucose and hypoxia group, normal glucose group+TTR, normal glucose and hypoxia group+TTR, high glucose group+TTR, high glucose and hypoxia group+TTR. Flow cytometry was used to analyze cellular apoptosis. The expression level of Akt, p-Akt, eNOS, Bcl-2 and Bax protein were measured by Western blot. Results Hypoxia could induce apoptosis as the apoptosis rate of normal and hypoxia group was higher than normal group (χ2=25.360, P<0.05), high glucose and hypoxia group was higher that high glucose group (χ2=17.400, P<0.05). The cell apoptosis rate of high glucose and hypoxia group+TTR were increased significantly as compared with high glucose and hypoxia group (χ2=9.900, P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference on the cell apoptosis rate between normal group and high glucose group, normal group+TTR and normal group, high glucose group+TTR and high glucose group, normal and hypoxia group+TTR and normal and hypoxia group (P>0.05). Western blot showed that the expression of Akt did not change significantly in all eight groups(F=2.450, P>0.05). Compared to normal group, the expression of p-Akt, eNOS, Bcl-2 in normal and hypoxia group were decreased (t=9.406, 5.306, 4.819), and the expression of Bax (t=-4.503) was increased (P<0.05). Compared to high glucose group, same trend was found in high glucose and hypoxia group (t=8.877, 7.723, 6.500, -14.646; P<0.05). The expression of p-Akt in normal and hypoxia group+TTR was higher than normal and hypoxia group (t=-5.024, P<0.05) ,but there was no difference on the expression of eNOS, Bcl-2, Bax between these two groups (t=-2.235, -2.656, -0.272;P>0.05). Compared to high glucose and hypoxia group, the expression of p-Akt and Bcl-2 in high glucose and hypoxia group+TTR were decreased (t=4.355, 4.308; P<0.05), the expression of Bax was increased (t=-4.311, P<0.05), and there was no difference on the expression of eNOS between these two groups (t=-1.590, P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the expression of p-Akt, eNOS, Bcl-2, Bax between high glucose group and normal group (t=-3.407, -4.228, -4.302, -2.076; P>0.05), normal group+TTR and normal group (t=-4.245, -4.298, -2.816, -1.326; P>0.05), high glucose group+TTR and high glucose group (t=4.016, -0.784, 0.707, -0.328; P>0.05). Conclusion Under high glucose and hypoxia, transthyretitin suppress the growth of hREC through Akt/Bcl-2/Bax, but not Akt/eNOS signaling pathway.

MiR-139-5p inhibits migration and invasion of colorectal cancer by downregulating AMFR and NOTCH1

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) that exert function by posttranscriptional suppression have recently brought insight in our understanding of the role of non-protein-coding RNAs in carcinogenesis and metastasis. In this study, we described the function and molecular mechanism of miR-139-5p in colorectal cancer (CRC) and its potential clinical application in CRC. We found that miR-139-5p was significantly downregulated in 73.8% CRC samples compared with adjacent noncancerous tissues (NCTs), and decreased miR-139-5p was associated with poor prognosis. Functional analyses demonstrated that ectopic expression of miR-139-5p suppressed CRC cell migration and invasion in vitro and metastasis in vivo. Mechanistic investigations revealed that miR-139-5p suppress CRC cell invasion and metastasis by targeting AMFR and NOTCH1. Knockdown of the two genes phenocopied the inhibitory effect of miR-139-5p on CRC metastasis. Furthermore, the protein levels of the two genes were upregulated in CRC samples compared with NCTs, and inversely correlated with the miR-139-5p expression. Increased NOTCH1 protein expression was correlated with poor prognosis of CRC patients. Together, our data indicate that miR-139-5p is a potential tumor suppressor and prognostic factor for CRC, and targeting miR-139-5p may repress the metastasis of CRC and improve survival.
