RESUMEN

AIMS: Silicosis is the most common and severe type of pneumoconiosis, imposing a substantial disease burden and economic loss on patients and society. The pathogenesis and key targets of silicosis are not yet clear, and there are currently no effective treatments available. Therefore, we conducted research on mefunidone (MFD), a novel antifibrotic drug, to explore its efficacy and mechanism of action in murine silicosis. METHODS: Acute 7-day and chronic 28-day silicosis models were constructed in C57BL/6J mice by the intratracheal instillation of silica and subsequently treated with MFD to assess its therapeutic potential. The effects of MFD on silica-induced inflammation, pyroptosis, and fibrosis were further investigated using immortalized mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (iBMDMs). RESULTS: In the 7-day silica-exposed mouse models, MFD treatment significantly alleviated pulmonary inflammation and notably reduced macrophage infiltration into the lung tissue. RNA-sequencing analysis of silica-induced iBMDMs followed by gene set enrichment analysis revealed that MFD profoundly influenced cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions, chemokine signaling, and the toll-like receptor signaling pathways. MFD treatment also markedly reduced the secretion of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines from silica-exposed iBMDMs. Moreover, MFD effectively downregulated the activation of the TLR4-NF-κB/MAPK signaling pathway induced by silica and mitigated the upregulation of pyroptosis markers. Additionally, MFD treatment significantly suppressed the activation of fibroblasts and alveolar epithelial cells co-cultured with silica-exposed mouse macrophages. Ultimately, in the 28-day silica-exposed mouse models, MFD administration led to a substantial reduction in the severity of pulmonary fibrosis. CONCLUSION: MFD mitigates silica-induced pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis in mice by suppressing the TLR4-NF-κB/MAPK signaling pathway and reducing pyroptotic responses in macrophages. MFD could potentially emerge as a novel therapeutic agent for the treatment of silicosis.

RESUMEN

Background: This study investigated factors influencing discrepancies between fractional flow reserve (FFR) and resting full-cycle ratio (RFR) in the functional assessment of coronary artery stenosis in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). Methods: We included 320 diseased vessels from 253 consecutive patients with NSTE-ACS. Vessels were categorized into four groups based on FFR ≤ 0.80 and RFR ≤ 0.89 thresholds: group 1 concordant negative (RFR-/FFR-), group 2 positive RFR and negative FFR (RFR+/FFR-), group 3 negative RFR and positive FFR (RFR-/FFR+), and group 4 concordant positive (RFR+/FFR+). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify predictors of diagnostic discrepancy between FFR and RFR. Results: Of the 320 diseased vessels, 182 (56.9%) were in group 1 (RFR-/FFR-), 33 (10.3%) in group 2 (RFR+/FFR-), 31 (9.7%) in group 3 (RFR-/FFR+), and 74 (23.1%) in group 4 (RFR+/FFR+). The concordance between FFR and RFR was 80.0%. Notably, left anterior descending artery (LAD) lesions exhibited significantly lower consistency compared to non-LAD lesions (p = 0.001), with distinct differences in FFR and RFR values between these groups (p < 0.001). The presence of a LAD lesion emerged as an independent predictor of diagnostic inconsistency between positive RFR and negative FFR measurements (p = 0.001). Conclusions: LAD involvement independently predicts diagnostic discrepancies between FFR and RFR in evaluating functional coronary artery stenosis in NSTE-ACS patients.

RESUMEN

Background: The SYNTAX score (SS) is useful for predicting clinical outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The clinical SYNTAX score (CSS), developed by combining clinical parameters with the SS, enhances the risk model's ability to predict clinical outcomes. However, prior research has not yet evaluated the prognostic capacity of CSS in patients with complex coronary artery disease (CAD) and chronic renal insufficiency (CRI) who are undergoing PCI. We aimed to demonstrate the prognostic potential of CSS in assessing long-term adverse events in this high-risk patient cohort. Methods: A total of 962 patients with left main and/or three-vessel CAD and CRI were enrolled in the study spanning from January 2014 to September 2017. The CSS was calculated by multiplying the SS by the modified age, creatinine, and left ventricular ejection fraction (ACEF) score (age/ejection fraction + 1 for each 10 mL of creatinine clearance < 60 mL/min per 1.73 m 2 ). The patients were categorized into three groups based on their CSS values: low-CSS group (CSS < 18.0, n = 321), mid-CSS group (18.0 ≤ CSS < 28.3, n = 317), and high-CSS group (CSS ≥ 28.3, n = 324) as per the tertiles of CSS. The primary endpoints were all-cause mortality (ACM) and cardiac mortality (CM). The secondary endpoints included myocardial infarction (MI), unplanned revascularization, stroke, and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). Results: At the median 3-year follow-up, the high-CSS group exhibited higher rates of ACM (19.4% vs. 6.6% vs. 3.6%, p < 0.001), CM (15.6% vs. 5.1% vs. 3.2%, p = 0.003), and MACCE (33.8% vs. 29.0% vs. 20.0%, p = 0.005) in comparison to the low and mid-CSS groups. Multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed that CSS was an independent predictor for all primary and secondary endpoints (p < 0 .05). Moreover, the C-statistics of CSS for ACM (0.666 vs. 0.597, p = 0.021) and CM (0.668 vs. 0.592, p = 0.039) were significantly higher than those of SS. Conclusions: The clinical SYNTAX score substantially enhanced the prediction of median 3-year ACM and CM in comparison with SS in complex CAD and CRI patients following PCI.

RESUMEN

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is believed to be associated with a notable disruption of cellular energy metabolism. By detecting the changes of energy metabolites in the serum of patients with pulmonary fibrosis, we aimed to investigate the diagnostic and prognostic value of energy metabolites in IPF, and further elucidated the mechanism of their involvement in pulmonary fibrosis. Through metabolomics research, it was discovered that the TCA cycle intermediates changed dramatically in IPF patients. In another validation cohort of 55 patients with IPF compared to 19 healthy controls, it was found that succinate, an intermediate product of TCA cycle, has diagnostic and prognostic value in IPF. The cut-off levels of serum succinate were 98.36 µM for distinguishing IPF from healthy controls (sensitivity, 83.64%; specificity, 63.16%; likelihood ratio, 2.27, respectively). Moreover, a high serum succinate level was independently associated with higher rates of disease progression (OR 13.087, 95%CI (2.819-60.761)) and mortality (HR 3.418, 95% CI (1.308-8.927)). In addition, accumulation of succinate and increased expression of the succinate receptor GPR91 were found in both IPF patients and BLM mouse models of pulmonary fibrosis. Reducing succinate accumulation in BLM mice alleviated pulmonary fibrosis and 21d mortality, while exogenous administration of succinate can aggravate pulmonary fibrosis in BLM mice. Furthermore, GPR91 deficiency protected against lung fibrosis caused by BLM. In vitro, succinate promoted the activation of lung fibroblasts by activating ERK pathway through GPR91. In summary, succinate is a promising biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis of IPF. The accumulation of succinate may promote fibroblast activation through GPR91 and pulmonary fibrosis.

RESUMEN

GDF15 (growth differentiation factor 15) is a stress cytokine with several proposed roles, including support of stress erythropoiesis. Higher circulating GDF15 levels are prognostic of mortality during acute respiratory distress syndrome, but the cellular sources and downstream effects of GDF15 during pathogen-mediated lung injury are unclear. We quantified GDF15 in lower respiratory tract biospecimens and plasma from patients with acute respiratory failure. Publicly available data from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection were reanalyzed. We used mouse models of hemorrhagic acute lung injury mediated by Pseudomonas aeruginosa exoproducts in wild-type mice and mice genetically deficient for Gdf15 or its putative receptor, Gfral. In critically ill humans, plasma levels of GDF15 correlated with lower respiratory tract levels and were higher in nonsurvivors. SARS-CoV-2 infection induced GDF15 expression in human lung epithelium, and lower respiratory tract GDF15 levels were higher in coronavirus disease (COVID-19) nonsurvivors. In mice, intratracheal P. aeruginosa type II secretion system exoproducts were sufficient to induce airspace and plasma release of GDF15, which was attenuated with epithelial-specific deletion of Gdf15. Mice with global Gdf15 deficiency had decreased airspace hemorrhage, an attenuated cytokine profile, and an altered lung transcriptional profile during injury induced by P. aeruginosa type II secretion system exoproducts, which was not recapitulated in mice deficient for Gfral. Airspace GDF15 reconstitution did not significantly modulate key lung cytokine levels but increased circulating erythrocyte counts. Lung epithelium releases GDF15 during pathogen injury, which is associated with plasma levels in humans and mice and can increase erythrocyte counts in mice, suggesting a novel lung-blood communication pathway.

RESUMEN

Reducing doctor-patient conflict is an important part of coordinating doctor-patient disputes and easing doctor-patient relationship, which is conducive to building a harmonious medical environment and promoting the healthy development of medical undertakings. This paper constructs a multi-decision-maker mixed conflict model based on rough set theory, puts forward the matrix operation expression of the conflict degree theory in the Pawlak model, and gives a more objective and scientific evaluation function. Combined with hot issues of doctor-patient conflict, the proposed multi-decision-maker mixed conflict model is applied to doctor-patient conflict, examines the doctor-patient relationship in the medical institution system from multiple internal perspectives, and calculates feasible solutions in the conflict system. The results show that high medical quality, high standardize medication, high institutional efficiency, high staff efficiency, high hospital benefits, high hospital revenue, medium employee development, medium equipment development, or high medical quality, high standardize medication, high institutional efficiency, medium staff efficiency, medium hospital benefits, high hospital revenue, high employee development, and high equipment development are important conditions for building a harmonious medical environment and reducing doctor-patient conflicts.

RESUMEN

Objective: To explore the influence of bully victims on the suicidal tendencies of college students, and the moderating role of teacher emotional support and family support in the relationship between bully victims and college students' suicidal tendencies, in order to provide a reference for the effective intervention of college students' suicide behavior. Methods: Based on a survey of 15,560 college students. Multiple stepwise regression and Interaction analysis explore the impact of the bully victimization on college students' suicidal tendencies and the moderating role of family support and teacher emotional support in the relationship between the bully victim and college students' suicidal tendencies. Results: This study found that the Suicidal Tendencies score of college students was 19.79 points, indicating that some college students have a risk of suicidal tendencies; secondly, verbal bullying (ß = 0.084, P <0.001), physical bullying (ß = 0.222, P <0.001) and social relationship bullying (ß = 0.122, P <0.001) have a positive and significant impact on the suicidal tendencies of college students; in addition, family support and teacher emotional support have a significant regulatory effect on the bully victim and college students Suicidal Tendencies and family support. The regulating effect was significantly higher than that of teacher emotional support. Conclusion: Chinese college students have the risk of suicidal tendencies; peer bullying victimization is an important reason for affecting college students' suicidal tendencies, teacher emotional support is a protective factor for bully victims to affect college students' suicidal tendencies, and family support has a significant moderating effect on the bully victim and college students' suicidal tendencies. Therefore, it is necessary to actively adopt home-school linkage and home-school communication to reduce campus violence and increase the psychological resilience of college students.

RESUMEN

The purpose of this work was to use integrated bioinformatics analysis to screen for pyroptosis-related genes (PRGs) and possible immunological phenotypes linked to the development and course of IPF. Transcriptome sequencing datasets GSE70866, GSE47460 and GSE150910 were obtained from GEO database. From the GSE70866 database, 34 PRGs with differential expression were found in IPF as compared to healthy controls. In addition, a diagnostic model containing 4 genes PRGs (CAMP, MKI67, TCEA3 and USP24) was constructed based on LASSO logistic regression. The diagnostic model showed good predictive ability to differentiate between IPF and healthy, with ROC-AUC ranging from 0.910 to 0.997 in GSE70866 and GSE150910 datasets. Moreover, based on a combined cohort of the Freiburg and the Siena cohorts from GSE70866 dataset, we identified ten PRGs that might predict prognosis for IPF. We constructed a prognostic model that included eight PRGs (CLEC5A, TREM2, MMP1, IRF2, SEZ6L2, ADORA3, NOS2, USP24) by LASSO Cox regression and validated it in the Leuven cohort. The risk model divided IPF patients from the combined cohort into high-risk and low-risk subgroups. There were significant differences between the two subgroups in terms of IPF survival and GAP stage. There is a close correlation between leukocyte migration, plasma membrane junction, and poor prognosis in a high-risk subgroup. Furthermore, a high-risk score was associated with more plasma cells, activated NK cells, monocytes, and activated mast cells. Additionally, we identified HDAC inhibitors in the cMAP database that might be therapeutic for IPF. To summarize, pyroptosis and its underlying immunological features are to blame for the onset and progression of IPF. PRG-based predictive models and drugs may offer new treatment options for IPF.

RESUMEN

Objective: To understand the status of media exposure, social support, self-efficacy, and health literacy among middle-aged and older adults in China, and explore the impact path of media exposure on the health literacy of this population, providing a reference for promoting their physical and mental health. Methods: From July to November 2022, a multi-stage random sampling method was employed to survey 16,938 Chinese middle-aged and older adults aged 46 and above. Structural equation modeling and statistical analysis were conducted using LISREL 8.8 and Mplus 8.3 software. Results: The average score for media exposure among Chinese middle-aged and older adults was (18.55±5.36), perceived social support was (60.68±12.51), self-efficacy was (28.76±5.40), and health literacy was (35.49±6.05). Statistical results revealed that media exposure has a positive impact on the health literacy of middle-aged and older adults, with a direct effect of 0.091 (p < 0.001). Mediation analysis showed that media exposure can affect the health literacy of this population through the independent mediating effects of perceived social support (ß = 0.013, p < 0.001) and self-efficacy (ß = 0.029, p < 0.001), as well as through a chain mediation effect involving perceived social support and self-efficacy (ß = 0.015, p < 0.001). Conclusion: As a pathway for health information dissemination, media exposure plays a crucial role in the intervention of health literacy among middle-aged and older adults. Perceived social support and self-efficacy not only have independent mediating effects but also significant chain mediating effects in the relationship between media exposure and health literacy among this population. Therefore, improving the health literacy of middle-aged and older people can be popularized through media and improved in a multi-path, all-round, and precise way with the help of related technologies and social forces from which media literacy can be improved.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: With the continuing impact of the aging population, medical-elderly care integrated institutions, as a way to bear the pressure of medical and elderly care, effectively ensure the quality of life of the elderly in their later years. OBJECTIVES: To explore the preferences of medical-elderly care integrated institutions among Chinese middle-aged and older people and to provide a reference for establishing elderly-oriented development of medical-elderly care integrated institutions. METHODS: In this study, a discrete choice experiment (DCE) was used to investigate the preferences of people aged 45 years and older in medical-elderly care integrated institutions in China from October 20, 2022, to November 10, 2022. A mixed logit regression model was used to analyze the DCE data. Participants' willingness to pay for each attribute was also calculated. RESULTS: Data from 420 participants who provided valid responses were included in the analysis. In terms of the choice preference, moderate service quality (vs. poor service quality: ß = 1.707, p < 0.001, 95% CI 1.343 ~ 2.071) and high medical technology level (vs. low medical technology level: ß = 1.535, p < 0.001, 95% CI 1.240 ~ 1.830) were the most important attributes to middle-aged and older people, followed by monthly cost, environmental facilities, the convenience of transportation, and entertainment activities. Regarding the willingness to pay, participants were more willing to pay for service quality and medical technology level than for other attributes. They were willing to pay $3156 and $2838 more for "poor service quality" and "low medical technology level," respectively, to receive "moderate service quality " (p = 0.007, 95% CI 963 ~ 5349) and "high medical technology level" (p = 0.005, 95% CI 852 ~ 4824). CONCLUSIONS: The state should attach great importance to the development of medical-elderly care integrated services industry, actively optimize the model of the medical-elderly care integrated service, improve the facilities, and create a healthy environment. At the same time, give full play to the role of medical insurance, long-term care insurance, and commercial insurance, so as to improve the comprehensive quality of life of the elderly. PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: The design of the experimental selection was guided by 10 experts in the field, 5 Chinese government officials, and interviews and focus group discussions, without whose participation this study would not have been possible.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The SYNTAX score Ⅱ 2020 (SSⅡ-2020) was created as a customized decision-making tool for individuals diagnosed with complex coronary artery disease (CAD). Nevertheless, there has been a scarcity of research investigating the long-term predictive significance of SSⅡ-2020 for patients with both CAD and chronic renal insufficiency (CRI) who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). AIMS: We sought to showcase the prognostic capacity of SSII-2020 in evaluating long-term all-cause mortality (ACM) within this high-risk patient cohort. METHODS: A retrospective cohort comprising 1156 individuals diagnosed with CRI and exhibiting left main CAD, three-vessel CAD or both was included in this investigation. We categorized participants into three groups based on the optimal SSII-2020 threshold for predicting long-term ACM, determined using the X-tile software. RESULTS: At the median follow-up duration of 6.3 years, the ACM rates were determined to be 10% in the low, 17% in the moderate, and 28% in the high SSII-2020 groups (p < 0.001). Employing multivariate Cox regression analysis, it was observed that the high SSII-2020 group exhibited a 3.289-fold increased risk of ACM (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.229-4.856, p < 0.001) compared with the low SSII-2020 group, whereas the high SSII-2020 group displayed a 1.757-fold (95% CI: 1.190-2.597, p = 0.005) in comparison to the median SSII-2020 groups. Compared with SSII, the SSII-2020 had an incremental value for predicting 7-year ACM (C-index: 0.662 vs. 0.534, p = 0.007; IDI: 0.016, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: SSII-2020 enhances long-term ACM prediction, facilitates improved risk stratification, and improves clinical utility for PCI patients with complex CAD and CRI.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to explore the relationship between family communication, family violence, problematic internet use, anxiety, and depression and validate their potential mediating role. METHODS: The study population consisted of Chinese adolescents aged 12 to 18 years, and a cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2022. Structural equation models were constructed using AMOS 25.0 software to examine the factors that influence adolescent anxiety and depression and the mediating effects of problematic internet use and family violence. RESULTS: The results indicate that family communication was significantly and negatively related to family violence (ß = -.494, p < 0.001), problematic internet use (ß = -.056, p < .05), depression (ß = -.076, p < .01), and anxiety (ß = -.071, p < .05). And the finds also indicate that family violence mediated the relationships between family communication and depression (ß = -.143, CI: -.198 -.080), and between family communication and anxiety (ß = -.141; CI: -.198 -.074). Chain indirect effects between family communication and depression (ß = -.051; CI: -.081 -.030) or anxiety (ß = -.046; CI: -.080 -.043) via family violence and then through problematic internet use were also found in the present study. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, positive family communication is crucial in reducing anxiety and depression in adolescents. Moreover, problematic internet use and family violence mediate the effects of positive family communication on anxiety and depression. Therefore, improving family communication and promoting interventions aimed at reducing family violence and problematic internet use can help reduce anxiety and depression in adolescents, thus promoting their healthy development.

RESUMEN

Introduction:  Suicidal ideation and suicidal behavior, as the most severe psychological and behavioral problems among adolescents, bring not only significant damage to individual social functioning but also cause enormous economic and social pressure, which will ultimately be detrimental to social development and social stability. This paper aimed to explore the potential relationship between teacher discrimination behavior, peer bullying victimization, anxiety disorders, and adolescent suicidal ideation based on the Vulnerability-Stress Model. Methods:  From September to November 2022, our research team surveyed 21,017 junior high school students from 12 secondary schools in ten cities in China. Mplus 8.3 software was used to analyze the pathways of teacher discrimination behavior on adolescent suicidal ideation. Results:  The results showed that teacher preference had a significant negative effect on suicidal ideation, and teacher prejudice significantly positively affected suicidal ideation. Mediation test results indicated that there were significant independent mediating effects of peer bullying victimization and anxiety disorders between teacher discrimination behavior and adolescents' suicidal ideation, as well as significant chain mediating effects. Conclusion:  Secondary school teachers should improve their self-quality and pay more attention to adolescents' suicidal ideation. Teachers are expected to put love into their education, respect and trust each student, and attend to their emotional needs unbiasedly. Educators should develop targeted prevention and intervention measures according to the actual situation of school bullying and also strengthen adolescents' life-value education to improve the psychological quality of adolescents and create a healthy campus atmosphere.

RESUMEN

Our previous studies have shown that long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) H19 is upregulated in injured rat sciatic nerve during the process of Wallerian degeneration, and that it promotes the migration of Schwann cells and slows down the growth of dorsal root ganglion axons. However, the mechanism by which lncRNA H19 regulates neural repair and regeneration after peripheral nerve injury remains unclear. In this study, we established a Sprague-Dawley rat model of sciatic nerve transection injury. We performed in situ hybridization and found that at 4-7 days after sciatic nerve injury, lncRNA H19 was highly expressed. At 14 days before injury, adeno-associated virus was intrathecally injected into the L4-L5 foramina to disrupt or overexpress lncRNA H19. After overexpression of lncRNA H19, the growth of newly formed axons from the sciatic nerve was inhibited, whereas myelination was enhanced. Then, we performed gait analysis and thermal pain analysis to evaluate rat behavior. We found that lncRNA H19 overexpression delayed the recovery of rat behavior function, whereas interfering with lncRNA H19 expression improved functional recovery. Finally, we examined the expression of lncRNA H19 downstream target SEMA6D, and found that after lncRNA H19 overexpression, the SEMA6D protein level was increased. These findings suggest that lncRNA H19 regulates peripheral nerve degeneration and regeneration through activating SEMA6D in injured nerves. This provides a new clue to understand the role of lncRNA H19 in peripheral nerve degeneration and regeneration.

RESUMEN

The number of doctor-patient conflicts and disputes in China has been increasing recently. In order to solve the current social problems of the tense doctor-patient relationship and frequent medical disputes, this article, based on grounded theory, uses qualitative analysis software to conduct grounded coding on 622 cases of doctor-patient disputes randomly selected by stratification. After successively adopting open, axial, and selective coding, the relationship structure between the causes and development of medical disputes is summarized. Furthermore, this relationship structure can be used to analyze further and discuss the causes of doctor-patient disputes from the perspective of multiple co-governance and the governance framework of doctor-patient disputes. Finally, it reminds us of the need to standardize government's regulatory responsibilities, promote the equal distribution of medical resources, strengthen the communication awareness between doctors and patients, reduce the information asymmetry between doctors and patients, and build a preventive mechanism-oriented multi-subject collaborative governance path to promote the relationship between doctors and patients in China. We provide relevant countermeasures and suggestions for harmonious development and the smooth resolution of doctor-patient conflicts.

RESUMEN

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that affects the structure and function of motile cilia, leading to classic clinical phenotypes, such as situs inversus, chronic sinusitis, bronchiectasis, repeated pneumonia and infertility. In this study, we diagnosed a female patient with PCD who was born in a consanguineous family through classic clinical manifestations, transmission electron microscopy and immunofluorescence staining. A novel DNAAF4 variant NM_130810: c.1118G>A (p. G373E) was filtered through Whole-exome sequencing. Subsequently, we explored the effect of the mutation on DNAAF4 protein from three aspects: protein expression, stability and interaction with downstream DNAAF2 protein through a series of experiments, such as transfection of plasmids and Co-immunoprecipitation. Finally, we confirmed that the mutation of DNAAF4 lead to PCD by reducing the stability of DNAAF4 protein, but the expression and function of DNAAF4 protein were not affected.

RESUMEN

Introduction: Depression has become a prominent psychological problem among young people. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential relationship between the frequency of Internet use, family atmosphere, academic performance, self-adjustment, campus deviant behavior, and depressive symptoms among adolescents. Methods: Based on the survey data of the fifth wave (2017~2018) and the sixth wave (2019~2020) of the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS), this study used LISREL8.8 software to analyze 1,577 10~15 data on adolescents. Results: In this study, the mean score of self-adjustment was 42.40 (SD = 6.79), the mean score of campus deviant behavior was 12.59 (SD = 4.00), the mean score of depressive symptoms in 2018 was 11.88 (SD = 3.04), and the mean score of depressive symptoms in 2020 was 7.64 (SD = 2.20). Secondly, the frequency of Internet use had no direct effect on the depressive symptoms of adolescents, family atmosphere was negatively correlated with depressive symptoms (p < 0.005), and academic performance was positively correlated with depressive symptoms (p < 0.005). Depressive symptoms in 2020 had a direct effect (ß = 0.37, p < 0.001), and also had a negative effect on depressive symptoms in 2020, with a total effect of-0.07 (p < 0.001); self-adjustment had no direct effect on depressive symptoms in adolescents in 2018, However, the total effect was -0.14 (p < 0.001), which had a significant positive effect on 2020 depressive symptoms, and the total effect was 0.18 (p < 0.001), and self-adjustment had a significant negative effect on adolescent campus deviant behavior (ß = -0.38, p < 0.001); in addition, the frequency of Internet use, family atmosphere, and academic performance all had indirect effects on adolescents' 2020 depressive symptoms, with total effects of -0.60, 0.01, and 0.02 (p < 0.001), respectively. This study also found depressive symptoms in adolescents have a certain persistence in time. Discussion: Based on this study, it is necessary to pay more attention to the depression of adolescents, strengthen the training of self-adjustment, improve the anti-frustration ability and psychological resilience, and reduce the campus deviant behavior of adolescents. It is recommended to try to start from emotional self-adjustment to promote the personality health of adolescents.

RESUMEN

As a negative social issue, teenagers' problem behavior not only affects individuals' physical and mental health and social function development but is also not conducive to social harmony and stability. This study mainly discusses the influence of academic pressure on adolescents' problem behavior, and the potential relationship between these and academic pressure, examining issues such as self-control, parent-child conflict, and subjective well-being. The data were collected from the fifth wave of the China Family Panel Studies (2017-2018). The data of 2,465 teenagers aged 10-15 were analyzed by LISREL8.8 software. The results show that academic pressure positively affects adolescents' deviant behavior. The mediation model finds that parent-child conflict and self-control play a direct mediating role between academic pressure and adolescents' behavioral problems. Parent-child conflict, self-control, and subjective well-being have important chain mediation effects between academic pressure and adolescents' problem behavior. Therefore, in order to reduce the risk of such problems, it is necessary to further strengthen individuals' ability to maintain self-control, promote or cultivate adolescents' character strengths, create a harmonious family atmosphere, reduce the probability of parent-child conflict, and increase the subjective well-being of teenagers.

RESUMEN

The potential threat of global warming in the 21st century is on the ecosystem through many aspects, including the negative impact of rising global temperature on the health of humans and animals, especially domestic animals. The damage caused by heat stress to animals has been more and more significant as the worldwide climate continues to rise, along with the breeding industry's expanding scale and stocking density, and it has become the most important stress-causing factor in southern China. In this review, we described the effects of heat stress on animal immune organs and immune system. The much-debated topic is how hyperthermia affects the tight junction barrier. Heat stress also induces inflammation in the body of animals causing low body weight and loss of appetite. This review also discussed that heat stress leads to hepatic disorder, and it also damages the intestine. The small intestine experiences ischemia, and the permeability of the intestine increases. Furthermore, the oxidative stress and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways have a significant role in stress-induced cellular and organ injury. The study has shown that MAPK activity in the small intestine was increased by heat stress. Heat stress caused extreme small intestine damage, enhanced oxidative stress, and activated MAPK signaling pathways.
