Abstract
Background
Although existing studies have described patterns of social media use in healthcare, most are focused on health professionals in one discipline. Population health requires a multi-disciplinary approach to ensure diversity and to include diverse stakeholders. To date, what is known about using social media in population health is focused on its potential as a communication tool. This study aims to investigate patterns of use and perceived value of social media usage among stakeholders in population health practice, policy, or research.

Methods
We conducted a web-based survey of delegates attending the Singapore Population Health Conversations and Workshop. We designed a 24-item questionnaire to assess 1) social media use in terms of type of platform and frequency of use; 2) perceptions of social media relevance and impact on population health; and 3) top three areas in population health that would benefit from social media. We used descriptive and logistic regression analyses to assess the relationships between variables.

Results
Of the 308 survey respondents, 97.7% reported that they use social media in some form. Messaging (96.8%) was the most dominant activity when using social media. Challenges in implementing social media for population health were time investment by health care professionals (56.2%) and patient adoption (52.9%). The top three population health areas that would benefit most from using social media were the promotion of healthy behaviors (60.7%), community engagement (47.7%), and preventive care (40.6%). Older respondents (> = 40 years) were less likely to view social media as useful for the promotion of healthy behaviors (OR = 0.34; 95% CI: 0.19–0.60). Non-social/healthcare professionals were more likely to consider social media to be useful for community engagement (OR = 1.74; 95% CI: 1.10–2.76). For preventive care, older respondents (OR = 0.51; 95% CI: 0.32–0.82) and non-social/healthcare professionals were less likely to view social media as useful (OR = 0.61; 95% CI: 0.38–0.97).

Conclusions
Our findings suggest that it may be important to select the specific care areas that would benefit most from using social media. The time investment needed by population health professionals should be fully addressed in planning to maximize the application and potential value of social media.

Published: July 2021

Abstract
Background
Despite being considered preventable, ulcers due to pressure affect between 30 and 50% of patients at high and very high risk and susceptibility, especially those hospitalized under critical care. Despite a lack of evidence over the efficacy in prevention against ulcers due to pressure, hourly repositioning in critical care as an intervention is used with more or less frequency to alleviate pressure on patients’ tissues. This brings up the objective of our study, which is to evaluate the efficacy in prevention of ulcers due to pressure acquired during hospitalization, specifically regarding two frequency levels of repositioning or manual posture switching in adults hospitalized in different intensive care units in different Colombian hospitals.

Methods
A nurse-applied cluster randomized controlled trial of parallel groups (two branches), in which 22 eligible ICUs (each consisting of 150 patients), will be randomized to a high-frequency level repositioning intervention or to a conventional care (control group). Patients will be followed until their exit from each cluster. The primary result of this study is originated by regarding pressure ulcers using clusters (number of first ulcers per patient, at the early stage of progression, first one acquired after admission for 1000 days). The secondary results include evaluating the risk index on the patients’ level (Hazard ratio, 95% IC) and a description of repositioning complications. Two interim analyses will be performed through the course of this study. A statistical difference between the groups < 0.05 in the main outcome, the progression of ulcers due to pressure (best or worst outcome in the experimental group), will determine whether the study should be put to a halt/determine the termination of the study.

Conclusion
This study is innovative in its use of clusters to advance knowledge of the impact of repositioning as a prevention strategy against the appearance of ulcers caused by pressure in critical care patients. The resulting recommendations of this study can be used for future clinical practice guidelines in prevention and safety for patients at risk.

Authors: Klainin-Yobas Piyanee , Vongsirimas Nopporn , Ramirez Debbie Q. , Sarmiento Jenneth , Fernandez Zenaida 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
Background
Resilience reflects individuals’ ability to bounce back quickly in the face of stressful situations. Resilience is positively correlated with psychological well-being (PWB) and negatively related to poor mental health. However, there is limited longitudinal research to confirm the causal relationships between resilience and PWB. This study aimed to examine the relationships among stress, resilience, and PWB among youths in the Philippines across two samples. A descriptive comparative study was conducted and two repeated cross-sectional samples were recruited. Eligible participants were undergraduate students from a university in the Philippines regardless of sociological backgrounds. Data were collected via anonymous online questionnaires; and analyzed by using descriptive statistics and structural equation modelling (SEM).

Results
A total of 630 were recruited (Sample 1 = 221 and Sample 2 = 409). Most of whom were female, Filipino, Christian and students from Nursing School. Results from SEM indicated that the hypothesized two-group models had an adequate fit with sample data. Furthermore, perceived control and resilience were significant predictors of the autonomy & growth factor of PWB. Perceived stress and resilience significantly predicted the negative triad factor of PWB. These findings were comparable across the two samples providing strong evidence to support causal relationships among the study variables.

Conclusion
There is a need to offer stress management interventions and resilience-based programs to enhance PWB. Additional research should be conducted to test the efficacy of the interventions.

Published: July 2021

Abstract
Background
Neonatal intermittent hypoxia (IH) results in oxidative distress in preterm infants with immature antioxidant systems, contributing to lung injury. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and fish oil protect against oxidative injury. We tested the hypothesis that CoQ10 is more effective than fish oil for prevention of IH-induced lung injury in neonatal rats.

Methods
Newborn rats were exposed to two clinically relevant IH paradigms at birth (P0): (1) 50% O2 with brief hypoxia (12% O2); or (2) room air (RA) with brief hypoxia (12% O2), until P14 during which they were supplemented with daily oral CoQ10, fish oil, or olive oil from P0 to P14. Pups were studied at P14 or placed in RA until P21 with no further treatment. Lungs were assessed for histopathology and morphometry; biomarkers of oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation; and antioxidants.

Results
Of the two neonatal IH paradigms 21%/12% O2 IH resulted in the most severe outcomes, evidenced by histopathology and morphometry. CoQ10 was effective for preserving lung architecture and reduction of IH-induced oxidative stress biomarkers. In contrast, fish oil resulted in significant adverse outcomes including oversimplified alveoli, hemorrhage, reduced secondary crest formation and thickened septae. This was associated with elevated oxidants and antioxidants activities.

Conclusions
Data suggest that higher FiO2 may be needed between IH episodes to curtail the damaging effects of IH, and to provide the lungs with necessary respite. The negative outcomes with fish oil supplementation suggest oxidative stress-induced lipid peroxidation.
Downregulation of Tim-1 inhibits the proliferation, migration and invasion of glioblastoma cells via the miR-133a/TGFBR1 axis and the restriction of Wnt/β-catenin pathway
Authors: Wei Li , Peng Ya , Shao Naiyuan , Zhou Peng 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
Background
Glioblastoma remains one of the most lethal brain cancers. T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 1 (Tim-1) is associated with various immune diseases. The molecular mechanism of Tim-1 in regulating glioblastoma cell proliferation, invasion, and migration is still unknown. Moreover, it has shown that miR-133a plays an important role in glioblastoma. However, little is known about the interaction between Tim-1 and miR-133a in glioblastoma.

Methods
Tim-1 expression in glioblastoma and normal brain tissues was detected by qPCR, Western Blot and IHC. After Tim-1 knockdown in U251 and U87 cells, genes showing significantly differential expression, along with the significant differential miRNAs were analyzed using RNA-seq analysis. The binding sites were verified using dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. U251 and U87 cells were allocated into the small harpin-negative control (sh-NC), sh-Tim-1, sh-Tim-1 + inhibitor NC, and sh-Tim-1 + miR-133a inhibitor group. Cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were determined by CCK-8, flow cytometry, wound-healing and Transwell assays, respectively. Next, U251 and U87 cells were allocated into the mimic NC, miR-133a mimic, miR-133a mimic + pcDNA3.1, and miR-133a mimic + pcDNA3.1-TGFBR1 groups, followed by the detection of cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Western blot was used to identify the expression of vital kinases in the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Results
Tim-1 was highly expressed in glioblastoma tissues compared with that in normal brain tissues. RNA-seq analysis showed that Tim-1 knockdown could lead to the downregulation of TGFBR1 and the upregulation of miR-133a. The binding sites between TGFBR1 and miR-133a were confirmed. Tim-1 knockdown impaired the invasion, migration, proliferation of U251 and U87 cells, which could be reversed by miR-133a downregulation. miR-133a upregulation inhibited the proliferation, invasion, and migration of U251 and U87 cells, which could be reversed by TGFBR1 upregulation. Tim-1 knockdown and miR-133a upregulation could inhibit the activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, while the elevation of TGFBR1 showed opposite effects.

Conclusion
Tim-1 knockdown inhibited glioblastoma cell proliferation, invasion, and migration through the miR-133a/TGFBR1 axis and restrained the activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Published: July 2021

AbstractBackgroundLong non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), acting as competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) have been reported to regulate the expression of targeted genes by sponging miRNA in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD).MethodsHowever, their potential implications for recurrence free survival prognosis and functional roles remains largely unclear in COAD. In this study, we downloaded the TCGA dataset (training dataset) and GSE39582 (validation dataset) of COAD patients with prognostic information.ResultsA total of 411 differentially expressed genes (DElncRNAs: 12 downregulated and 43 upregulated), 18 DE miRNAs (9 downregulated and 9 upregulated) and 338 DEmRNAs (113 downregulated and 225 upregulated) were identified in recurrence samples compared with non-recurrence samples with the thresholds of FDR < 0.05 and |log2FC|> 0.263. Based on six signature lncRNAs (LINC00899, LINC01503, PRKAG2-AS1, RAD21-AS1, SRRM2-AS1 and USP30-AS1), the risk score (RS) system was constructed. Two prognostic clinical features, including pathologic stage and RS model status were screened for building the nomogram survival model. Moreover, a recurrent-specific ceRNA network was successfully constructed with 2 signature lncRNAs, 4 miRNAs and 113 mRNAs. Furthermore, we further manifested that SRRM2-AS1 predicted a poor prognosis in COAD patients. Furthermore, knockdown of SRRM2-AS1 significantly suppressed cell proliferation, migration, invasion and EMT markers in HT-29 and SW1116 cells.ConclusionThese identified novel lncRNA signature and ceRNA network associated with recurrence prognosis might provide promising therapeutic targets for COAD patients.

Published: July 2021

Abstract
Background
Immunosuppressive drugs, incomplete vaccine coverage, immune system dysregulation might be factors of a low level of anti-vaccine antibodies in JIA patients. The study aimed to evaluate vaccine coverage, post-vaccine immunity, and risk factors of non-protective levels of antibodies against measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, and diphtheria in JIA patients.

Methods
A cross-sectional study included 170 children diagnosed with JIA aged 2 to 17 years who received routine vaccinations against measles, rubella, mumps (MMR), diphtheria, and hepatitis B national vaccine schedule. In all patients, the levels of post-vaccination antibodies (IgG) for measles, rubella, mumps, hepatitis B, and diphtheria were measured with ELISA.

Results
Protective level of antibodies were 50% against hepatitis B, 52% - diphtheria, 58% - measles, 80% - mumps, 98% rubella. MMR’s best coverage had patients with enthesitis-related arthritis-85%, compared to oligoarthritis-70%, polyarthritis-69%, systemic arthritis-63%. Diphtheria coverage was 50, 51, 46, 63%, respectively. Incomplete MMR vaccination had 39% patients, treated with biologics, 22% with methotrexate and 14% with NSAID (p = 0.025), and 61, 46, 36% for diphtheria (p = 0.021). Incomplete vaccination was a risk factor of non-protective level of antibodies against measles (HR = 2.03 [95%CI: 1.02; 4.0], p = 0.042), mumps (HR = 6.25 [95%CI: 2.13; 17.9], p = 0.0008) and diphtheria (HR = 2.39 [95%CI: 1.18; 4.85], p = 0.016) vaccines, as well as JIA category, biologics, corticosteroids and long-term methotrexate treatment for distinct vaccines. One-third part of JIA patients continued vaccination against MMR and diphtheria without serious adverse events and JIA flare. There were no differences between patients who continued MMR vaccination or denied in the means of JIA category and treatment options. Patients, continued diphtheria vaccination rare received methotrexate (p = 0.02), biologics (p = 0.004), but had higher levels of anti-diphtheria antibodies (p = 0.024) compare who omitted vaccination. Methotrexate (OR = 9.5 [95%CI: 1.004; 90.3]) and biologics (OR = 4.4 [95%CI: 1.6; 12.1]) were predictors of omitted diphtheria revaccination.

Conclusion
Children with JIA may have lower anti-vaccine antibody levels and required routine checks, especially in children with incomplete vaccination, biologics, systemic arthritis, and long-term methotrexate treatment. Revaccination of JIA patients was safe and effective.
The potential roles of m6A modification in regulating the inflammatory response in microglia

Published: July 2021

Abstract
Background
Microglia are key regulators of the inflammatory response in the brain. Adenosine in RNAs can be converted to m6A (N6-methyladenosine), which regulates RNA metabolism and functions as a key epitranscriptomic modification. The m6A modification pattern and m6A-related signatures under pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory conditions of microglia remain unclear.

Methods
Primary rat microglia were differentiated into pro-inflammatory M1-like (M1-L), anti-inflammatory M2-like (M2-L), and resting, unstimulated (M0-L) phenotypes. m6A mRNA and lncRNA epitranscriptomic microarray analyses were performed, and pathway analysis was conducted to understand the functional implications of m6A methylation in mRNAs and lncRNAs. The m6A methylation level and gene expression of mRNAs and lncRNAs were subsequently verified by m6A Me-RIP and qRT-PCR.

Results
A total of 1588 mRNAs and 340 lncRNAs, 315 mRNAs and 38 lncRNAs, and 521 mRNAs and 244 lncRNAs were differentially m6A methylated between M1-L and M0-L (M1-L/M0-L), M2-L and M0-L (M2-L/M0-L), M2-L and M1-L (M2-L/M1-L), respectively. Furthermore, 4902 mRNAs, 4676 mRNAs, and 5095 mRNAs were identified distinctively expressed in M1-L/M0-L, M2-L/M0-L, and M2-L/M1-L, respectively. Pathway analysis of differentially m6A methylated mRNAs and lncRNAs in M1-L/M0-L identified immune system, signal transduction, and protein degradation processes. In contrast, the distinct m6A methylated mRNAs in M2-L/M0-L were involved in genetic information processing, metabolism, cellular processes, and neurodegenerative disease-related pathways. We validated m6A methylation and the expression levels of five mRNAs and five lncRNAs, which were involved in upregulated pathways in M1-L/M0-L, and five mRNAs involved in upregulated pathways in M2-L/M0-L.

Conclusions
These findings identify a distinct m6A epitranscriptome in microglia, and which may serve as novel and useful regulator during pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory response of microglia.

Abstract
Background
Timely initiation of breastfeeding is feeding of breast milk within one hour of birth, however, three in five babies were not breastfed in the first hour of birth globally. There is evidence that cesarean section is the major constraint for this low prevalence, but the impact of cesarean section on timely initiation of breastfeeding in Ethiopia is limited. Therefore, this meta-analysis aimed to provide evidence for policy makers, health professionals and program implementers.

Methods
This systematic review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines. Electronic bibliographic databases such as PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINHAL, Scopus, Google Scholar, Science Direct and Cochrane Library were used to search relevant studies and was conducted up to February 2021. Random effects model meta-analysis was applied to estimate the pooled impact of cesarean section on timely initiation of breastfeeding with 95% confidence intervals (CI). I2 statistical test and, funnel plot and Egger’s test were used to check heterogeneity and publication bias across included studies respectively.

Results
According to meta-analysis of 17 studies, the pooled estimate of timely initiation of breastfeeding among women who had cesarean section in Ethiopia was 40.1% (95% CI 33.29, 46.92). The meta-analysis of 29,919 study participants showed that cesarean section was associated with a 79% lower odds of timely initiation of breastfeeding compared with vaginal birth (OR 0.21; 95% CI 0.16, 0.28).

Conclusions
In Ethiopia, almost only one-third of mothers who gave birth by cesarean section initiate breastfeeding within one hour of birth, much lower than the pooled prevalence among general population. Special health promotion, intervention and healthcare provider support during immediate or early skin to skin contact, and having focused breastfeeding guidelines for post-operative patient and trained health professionals should be considered for mothers who give birth through cesarean section.
Disrupting the α7nAChR–NR2A protein complex exerts antidepressant-like effects

Published: July 2021

AbstractMajor depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Most antidepressant medications target the serotonin and norepinephrine transporters, but a significant minority of patients do not respond to treatment and novel therapeutic targets are needed. We previously identified a protein complex composed of the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) and NMDA glutamate receptors (NMDARs), through which α7nAChR upregulates NMDAR function. Disruption of the α7nAChR–NMDAR complex with an interfering peptide blocked α7nAChR-mediated upregulation of NMDAR function and cue-induced reinstatement of nicotine seeking in rat models of relapse. Here we report that disrupting the α7nAChR–NMDAR complex with the interfering peptide also has antidepressant-like effects in the forced swim test (FST), a common rat behaviour screening test for antidepressant effects. Furthermore, the interfering peptide significantly increases extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activity in the animals subjected to the FST. Our results provide a novel potential therapeutic target for the development of new antidepressant medications.

AbstractCD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CART19) therapy is efficient and approved for relapsed/refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). To increase durable antitumor response, we previously designed tandem CART19/20 cells and shown longer progression-free survival. However, a proportion of CART19/20-treated patients will finally progress and require salvage therapies. In this study, we analyzed data from five patients with relapsed/refractory DLBCL who had disease progression or relapse following CART19/20 therapy and then treated with PD-1-blocking antibodies as salvage therapy. Two of five patients acquired complete remissions after anti-PD-1 therapy, including one patient remained ongoing remission for more than 21 months. One patient achieved a partial remission, and the other two had progressive diseases. No ≥ grade 3 treatment-related adverse events or cytokine release syndrome was observed. Immunohistochemistry of tumor specimens revealed higher PD-1/PD-L1 expression in responsive patients with anti-PD-1 therapy as compared to that in non-responders. After anti-PD-1 treatment, circulating T cells were activated in responders, and no significant expansion of CART19/20 cells was detected. Our data suggest that PD-1 blockade therapy can be active in patients with relapsed/refractory DLBCL after failure of CAR T cell therapy who had PD-L1 expression in tumor cells and high PD-1 level in tumor-infiltrated T cells.
