Background: It is well known that abnormal dietary behavior increases the risk for cardiovascular disease especially if the person is depressed and/or anxious. The purpose of this study was to construct a moderated mediation model to explore the roles of abnormal dietary behavior and family health in the mechanism through which depression/anxiety influences Quality of life (QoL) in patients with cardiovascular disease.

Methods: A field survey was conducted in China and ultimately included 730 patients with cardiovascular disease aged 20-60 years.

Background: Chronic diseases are a global health challenge, and therefore, more attention should be paid to improving self-efficacy in people with chronic diseases. This study examined the relationship between family health and self-efficacy, and explored the mediating role of perceived social support and the moderating role of health literacy. The aim is to enhance the self-efficacy of chronic patients by improving family health, social support, and health literacy, thereby improving their physical and mental state.

Article Synopsis
  • - Pet ownership is linked to a higher risk of dry eye symptoms (DES), with a prevalence of 43.6% found in a study of 21,916 Chinese residents aged over 12 during a nationwide survey.
  • - The study revealed that pet owners had a 13% increased risk of developing DES, which was even higher among elderly (28% increase) and urban residents (13% increase).
  • - The interaction between pet ownership and allergic rhinitis showed a significant combined effect on DES, indicating potential common underlying mechanisms between these conditions.

Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted to assess the prevalence of subthreshold depression among Chinese college students, revealing a significant rate of approximately 39.7% among 8,934 participants.
  • Factors such as being female, having chronic illnesses, experiencing financial debt, facing challenges in family communication, and feeling high perceived pressure were linked to a higher risk of developing subthreshold depression.
  • The research suggests that strong family communication, better perceived social support, and higher self-efficacy may serve as protective factors against subthreshold depression, highlighting the importance of timely screening for at-risk students.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the link between air pollution and dry eye symptoms (DES) during the COVID-19 pandemic, aiming to determine if air pollution posed a higher risk than other factors.
  • A nationwide survey with over 21,000 participants found that living near industrial areas was associated with a higher risk of DES, while only sulfur dioxide (SO) showed a significant association with these symptoms.
  • The results suggest that other factors like depression, anxiety, and excessive internet use played a more substantial role in increasing DES risk, indicating a potential dampening effect of air pollution during the pandemic due to more time spent indoors.

Lung cancer is the main cause of cancer deaths around the world. Nitrosamine 4-(methyl nitrosamine)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) is a tobacco-specific carcinogen of lung cancer. Abundant evidence implicates long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in tumorigenesis.

Plant-associated microbiomes play important roles in plant health and productivity. However, despite fruits being directly linked to plant productivity, little is known about the microbiomes of fruits and their potential association with fruit health. Here, by integrating 16S rRNA gene, ITS high-throughput sequencing data, and microbiological culturable approaches, we reported that roots and fruits (pods) of peanut, a typical plant that bears fruits underground, recruit different bacterial and fungal communities independently of cropping conditions and that the incidence of pod disease under monocropping conditions is attributed to the depletion of Bacillus genus and enrichment of Aspergillus genus in geocarposphere.

  • The study aimed to create population norms for the EQ-5D-5L (5L) health measurement tool in China and evaluate how various factors influence health-related quality of life (HRQoL) scores.
  • Researchers surveyed 21,909 participants aged 12 and older, collecting data on their health status, socioeconomic background, and lifestyle factors, analyzing how these relate to their health scores.
  • Results showed that older participants (especially those over 75) had poorer HRQoL, with notable issues in anxiety/depression and pain/discomfort, while younger individuals with better socioeconomic conditions reported higher quality of life scores.

Aims: To assess the impact of dry eye symptoms (DESs) on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among Chinese residents.

Methods: A total of 21 916 participants were involved in this nationwide cross-sectional study. All of them completed the Ocular Surface Disease Index-6 and the five-level European Quality of Life 5-Dimensional (EQ-5D) Questionnaire to assess the severity of DES and HRQOL, respectively.

  • RNF187 is an E3 enzyme that promotes cancer cell proliferation, but its role in germline cell development was previously unclear.
  • Research using a mouse-derived GC-2 cell line showed that RNF187 enhances cell viability, proliferation, and migration by interacting with histone H3.
  • The study identifies RNF187's involvement in the ubiquitination of histone H3 at specific lysine residues (K57 and K80), leading to increased gene transcription, suggesting its importance in germ cell development and opening avenues for further research.

  • - This study highlights the significant role of the long non-coding RNA NRSN2-AS1, which is found to be over-expressed in ovarian cancer tissues and is linked to the progression of the disease in women.
  • - NRSN2-AS1 promotes the growth and spread of ovarian cancer cells by stabilizing the protein PTK2 and activating the β-catenin signaling pathway while inhibiting its degradation by MG-53.
  • - The findings suggest that targeting the NRSN2-AS1/PTK2/β-catenin signaling axis could have potential clinical applications for treating ovarian cancer, marking a novel discovery in understanding the disease's mechanisms.

  • Enhancing health literacy is crucial for the physical and mental well-being of college students, but research on how family influences this is limited.
  • A study of 5,473 students found a strong positive relationship between family health and students' health literacy, with psychological resilience serving as a significant mediator.
  • The research suggests that families should play a key role in improving health literacy, and boosting students' psychological resilience can further benefit their overall health awareness and capabilities.

Relapse remains the leading cause of death in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients following allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), limiting the efficacy of allo-HSCT. Thus, the ability to identify high-risk patients in a manner that permits early intervention has the potential to improve survival outcomes. We retrospectively enrolled 414 younger patients (aged 14-60 years) with AML who received allo-HSCT between January 2014 and May 2020.

  • Nicotine dependence is a major public health issue, and this study focused on how family functioning affects nicotine dependence in smoking fathers, leveraging the McMaster model of family functioning for insights.
  • The study involved 874 fathers from Qingdao, with assessments of nicotine dependence using the Fagerstrom test and family functioning through the Family Assessment Device. Results showed varying levels of dependence among participants.
  • Findings indicated that poorer family functioning, lower education, more alcohol use, and longer smoking duration were linked to severe nicotine dependence, while starting smoking at an older age and higher education levels were associated with less severe dependence.

Objective: This study aimed to assess changes in joint range of motion (ROM) and knee joint function between patients who received the mobile health-based intervention and those who received regular care at 2 and 6 weeks after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction to provide better interventions in the future.

Methods: Patients who underwent ACL reconstruction were randomized into the experimental [Mobile health-based intervention (MHI); = 62] and control (CON) groups ( = 63). The CON group underwent home-based rehabilitation exercise following the paper rehabilitation schedule, while the intervention group received additional mobile health-based education at weeks 1-6 after surgery.
