The effect of the time parents spend with children on children's well-being
Authors: Li Dongxu , Guo Xi 
Published: April 2023

BackgroundThe time spent with parents is a crucial factor in the growth of children, and children's well-being is an important indicator of their mental health.MethodsTo promote the children's well-being, this study, which is relying on the data from the 2017 China Time Use Survey (CTUS), explores the relationship between parental time and children's well-being and specific influencing factors.ResultsThe more time parents spent with children, the higher their children's well-being will be (coefficient 0.1020, p &lt; 0.01). The life and leisure time parents spent with children promoted children's well-being (coefficient 0.1020, p &lt; 0.01). The life and leisure time the mother spent with children (coefficient 0.1030, p &lt; 0.05) the life and leisure time (coefficient 0.1790, p &lt; 0.05) and the educational interactions time the father spent with children (coefficient 0.3630, p &lt; 0.10) positively affected children's well-being. The influence of the time parents spent with children on children's well-being was heterogeneous based on their children's academic performance.ConclusionsParental accompaniment is an important determinant of children's well-being. Family education, guidance services, and mental health services should be strengthened, and it is necessary to improve the time spent with children and to pay attention to individual differences in children.

Authors: Tang Dan , Mair Christine A. , Hu Qing 
Published: April 2023

ObjectivesThis study aimed to examine the three-way interaction between widowhood, social ties, and gender and its effects on older adults’ mental health, including depressive symptoms and life satisfaction, in the context of China.MethodsParticipants were 7,601 Chinese older adults. Their social network was divided between family and friendship ties, and their mental health was measured by depressive symptoms and life satisfaction. Linear regression was employed to analyze the associations between widowhood, social networks, and mental health, as well as to explore the moderating effect of gender.ResultsWidowhood is associated with more depressive symptoms, but not with life satisfaction, while family and friendship ties are associated with less depressive symptoms and greater life satisfaction. Furthermore, the lack of family ties is associated with more depressive symptoms for widowed men compared to married older men, while it is associated with lower life satisfaction for widowed women compared to married older women.ConclusionFamily ties are the most important social support resource for Chinese older adults, especially for the widowed group. The vulnerability of older widowed men who lack family ties in China deserves public concern and attention.

Published: April 2023

IntroductionThe present study investigates the role of perceived partial social belonging (PPSB) in determining societal and individual resilience and positive and negative coping indicators. It is assumed that most people aspire to belong and be integrated into their society. A sense of only partial belonging is therefore distressing for them.MethodsTwo hypotheses are examined in the current study: (a) A higher level of PPSB will predict a lower level of resilience and a higher level of psychological symptoms. (b) PPSB will mediate the associations between three stress-evoking demographic characteristics (younger age, low income, and gender) and the lower psychological resilience and higher distress associated with these demographic characteristics. These hypotheses were examined using a sample of the Israeli Jewish public (N = 1,502) who responded to an anonymous questionnaire about the investigated issues. The data were collected by an internet panel company possessing a database of more than 65,000 residents, representing the varied components of the Israeli society.ResultsThe findings supported our hypotheses: (a) PPSB negatively predicted societal and individual resilience and hope and positively predicted distress symptoms and sense of danger. (b) PPSB mediated the effects of the investigated demographic variables on these psychological variables.ConclusionThese results are discussed in association with the concept of belonging competencies. Our findings display that being unsure about one’s belonging to a desired social group, has a major role in increasing psychological distress and sense of danger and in reducing hope and both individual and societal resilience.

BackgroundIn Japan, health checkups for workers are legally compulsory. Considering legal health checkup items are important for Japanese workers' health problems. To date, the legal health checkup items for blood cell counts include only red blood cell counts and hemoglobin but not platelet counts. This study aimed to investigate the significance of measuring platelets in workers by showing the association between the FIB-4 index (FIB-4), which can be easily calculated from factors including platelet counts and viral hepatitis infection.MethodBoth cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses were conducted on the comprehensive medical examinations of male workers. In fiscal year (FY) 2019, a logistic regression model was applied to 12,918 examinees. For 13,459 examinees (mean age = 47.5 ± 9.3 SD), FY2000 was set to be followed until FY2019. A total of 149,956 records between FY2000 and FY2019 were analyzed cross-sectionally, and 8,038 men who were consecutively examined to FY2019 at the longest were analyzed longitudinally. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve–area under the ROC curve (ROC–AUC) and Cox proportional methods were used to examine the association between platelet-related indices and viral hepatitis infection.ResultsLogistic regression showed that the risk of FIB-4 ≥ 2.67 was mostly associated with hepatitis C virus antibody (HCVAb) positivity [odds ratio (OR) = 2.51, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.08–5.86], while negatively associated with body mass index (BMI) (OR = 0.54, 95% CI = 0.30–0.97), and not associated with the presence of fatty liver. To detect HVC Ab positivity, ROC–AUC showed more effectiveness in FIB-4 than in the AST/ALT ratio (0.776, 95% CI = 0.747–0.773 vs. 0.552; 95% CI = 0.543–0.561). The Cox analysis showed that the risk of FIB-4 ≥ 2.67 was closely associated with hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) [hazard ratio (HR) = 3.1, 95% CI = 2.0–4.6] and HCV Ab positivity (HR = 3.2, 95% CI = 2.0–5.0).ConclusionOur results suggest that it might be worth considering that usage of information on platelets in legal health checkups could be some help not to overlook workers with hepatitis virus carriers as a complementary countermeasure, although further investigations are needed into its practical application.

Published: April 2023

IntroductionAgainst the background of population aging and large-scale internal migration, this study uses an ordered logit with two-way fixed effects to examine the effect of children's internal migration on the subjective wellbeing of parents left behind. The study is based on the China Family Panel Studies database.MethodsData were obtained from CFPS (China Family Panel Studies), and ordered logit with two-way fixed effects was used to test the total effect of children's internal migration on subjective wellbeing of parents left behind, and KHB test was used to separate intergenerational spiritual support and intergenerational financial support to examine the intergenerational support preferences of parents left behind.ResultsThe results show that children's internal migration has a significant negative effect on the subjective wellbeing of parents left behind, mainly through the reduction of intergenerational spiritual support. Furthermore, intergenerational financial support significantly mitigates this negative effect. There is heterogeneity in the direction of the total wellbeing effect across parents' preferences, as well as in the masking effect of financial support. However, the effect of financial support never fully offsets the effect of spiritual support.DiscussionTo cope with the negative effects of children's internal migration on parents, positive measures should be taken to change parental preferences.

BackgroundMass vaccination serves as an effective strategy to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Vaccine hesitancy is a recognized impediment to achieving a vaccination rate necessary to protect communities. However, solutions and interventions to address this issue are limited by a lack of prior research.MethodsOver 200 patients from 18 Michigan counties participated in this study. Each participant received an initial survey, including demographical questions and knowledge and opinion questions regarding COVID-19 and vaccines. Participants were randomly assigned an educational intervention in either video or infographic format. Patients received a post-survey to assess changes in knowledge and attitudes. Paired sample t-tests and ANOVA were used to measure the effectiveness of the educational interventions. Participants also elected to complete a 3-month follow-up survey.ResultsPatients showed increased knowledge after the educational intervention in six out of seven COVID-19 topics (p &lt; 0.005). There was increased vaccine acceptance after the intervention but no difference in the effectiveness between the two intervention modalities. Post-intervention, more patients believed in CDC recommendations (p = 0.005), trusted the vaccine (p = 0.001), believed the vaccines had adequate testing (p = 0.019), recognized prior mistreatment in the medical care system (p = 0.005), agreed that a source they trust told them to receive a vaccine (p = 0.015), and were worried about taking time off of work to get a vaccine (p = 0.023). Additionally, post-intervention, patients were less concerned about mild reactions of the virus (p = 0.005), the rapid development of the vaccines (p &lt; 0.001), and vaccine side effects (p = 0.031). Data demonstrated that attitude and knowledge improved when comparing pre-educational intervention to follow-up but decreased from post-intervention to follow-up.ConclusionThe findings illustrate that educational interventions improved COVID-19 and vaccine knowledge among patients and that the knowledge was retained. Educational interventions serve as powerful tools to increase knowledge within communities and address negative views on vaccination. Interventions should be continually utilized to reinforce information within communities to improve vaccination rates.

Background and aimsHepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a disastrous renal complication of advanced liver disease with a poor prognosis. Restoring normal liver function through liver transplantation (LT) is a standardized treatment with favorable short-term survival. However, the long-term renal outcomes in patients with HRS receiving living donor LT (LDLT) are controversial. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic impact of LDLT in patients with HRS.MethodsWe reviewed adult patients who underwent LDLT between July 2008 and September 2017. Recipients were classified into 1) HRS type 1 (HRS1, N = 11), 2) HRS type 2 (HRS2, N = 19), 3) non-HRS recipients with pre-existing chronic kidney disease (CKD, N = 43), and 4) matched normal renal function (N = 67).ResultsPostoperative complications and 30-day surgical mortality were comparable among the HRS1, HRS2, CKD, and normal renal function groups. The 5-year survival rate was &gt;90% and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) transiently improved and peaked at 4 weeks post-transplantation in patients with HRS. However, renal function deteriorated and resulted in CKD stage ≥ III in 72.7% of HRS1 and 78.9% of HRS2 patients (eGFR &lt;60 ml/min/1.73 m2). The incidence of developing CKD and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) was similar between the HRS1, HRS2, and CKD groups, but significantly higher than that in the normal renal function group (both P &lt; 0.001). In multivariate logistic regression, pre-LDLT eGFR &lt;46.4 ml/min/1.73 m2 predicted the development of post-LDLT CKD stage ≥ III in patients with HRS (AUC = 0.807, 95% CI = 0.617–0.997, P = 0.011).ConclusionsLDLT provides a significant survival benefit for patients with HRS. However, the risk of CKD stage ≥ III and ESRD among patients with HRS was similar to that in pre-transplant CKD recipients. An early preventative renal-sparing strategy in patients with HRS is recommended.

Objectives: To determine the coverage and associated factors of early postnatal home visits (PNHVs) by health extension workers (HEWs) among postpartum women in Gidan district, Northeast Ethiopia.Methods: A community-based, cross-sectional study was conducted between 30 March and 29 April 2021 in the Gidan district, Northeast Ethiopia. A multistage sampling technique was employed to select 767 postpartum women participants. Interviewer-administered questionnaires were used to collect the data. A binary logistic regression model was fitted to identify factors associated with early PNHVs by HEWs.Results: The coverage of early postnatal home visits was 15.13% [95% confidence interval (CI): 12.75, 17.87]. Women’s education, institutional delivery, time to reach health posts, and participation in pregnant women forums were significantly associated with early PNHVs by HEWs.Conclusion: In the current study, the coverage of early postnatal home visits by HEWs remains low in the study area. The concerned bodies should consider interventions that promote women’s education and institutional delivery, and more efforts should be made to improve community-based participation and links with HEWs.

Eleusine indica (goosegrass) is a problematic weed worldwide known for its multi-herbicide tolerance/resistance biotype. However, a genetic transformation method in goosegrass has not been successfully established, making a bottleneck for functional genomics studies in this species. Here, we report a successful Agrobacterium-mediated transformation method for goosegrass. Firstly, we optimized conditions for breaking seed dormancy and increasing seed germination rate. A higher callus induction rate from germinated seeds was obtained in N6 than in MS or B5 medium. Then the optimal transformation efficiency of the gus reporter gene was obtained by infection with Agrobacterium tumefaciens culture of OD600 = 0.5 for 30 min, followed by 3 days of co-cultivation with 300 μmol/L acetosyringone. Concentrations of 20 mg L−1 kanamycin and 100 mg L−1 timentin were used to select the transformed calli. The optimal rate of regeneration of the calli was generated by using 0.50 mg L−1 6-BA and 0.50 mg L−1 KT in the culture medium. Then, using this transformation method, we overexpressed the paraquat-resistant EiKCS gene into a paraquat-susceptible goosegrass biotype MZ04 and confirmed the stable inheritance of paraquat-resistance in the transgenic goosegrass lines. This approach may provide a potential mechanism for the evolution of paraquat-resistant goosegrass and a promising gene for the manipulation of paraquat-resistance plants. This study is novel and valuable in future research using similar methods for herbicide resistance.

Published: April 2023

Health risks caused by stings from Vespa velutina nigrithorax (VV), also known as the yellow-legged Asian hornet, have become a public concern, but little is known about its venom composition. This study presents the proteome profile of the VV’s venom sac (VS) based on Sequential Window Acquisition of all Theoretical Mass Spectra (SWATH-MS). The study also performed proteomic quantitative analysis and examined the biological pathways and molecular functions of the proteins in the VS of VV gynes (i.e., future queens [SQ]) and workers [SW]. The total protein content per VS was significantly higher in the SW than in the SQ (274 ± 54 µg/sac vs. 175 ± 22 µg/sac; p = 0.02). We quantified a total of 228 proteins in the VS, belonging to 7 different classes: Insecta (n = 191); Amphibia and Reptilia (n = 20); Bacilli, γ-Proteobacteria and Pisoniviricetes (n = 12); and Arachnida (n = 5). Among the 228 identified proteins, 66 showed significant differential expression between SQ and SW. The potential allergens hyaluronidase A, venom antigen 5 and phospholipase A1 were significantly downregulated in the SQ venom.
The concept of preventive care in the pediatric population with risk factors for the malocclusion development and prevention of severe malocclusion in children aged 3-12 years old
Authors: Shishmareva A. S. , Bimbas E. S. 
Published: April 2023

Relevance. Malocclusion prevention in Russian children is an urgent medical and social problem. The results of Russian epidemiological studies show malocclusion prevalence and severity increase in children with age. Postgrowth orthodontic treatment is costly and often inaccessible for the most population. In the current situation, malocclusion prevention organization in children is one of the most important tasks of public healthcare.Purpose. To propose and substantiate a new model for the prevention of severe malocclusion in children.Materials and methods. We have created a new conceptual model for the prevention of severe malocclusion in children to develop a methodology that provides unified approaches to malocclusion prevention.Results. The model involves the construction of a two-level system of pediatric preventive care based in the city, municipal multidisciplinary dental clinics. The model novelty is determined by the new concept of the primary prevention of malocclusion and early orthodontic treatment (EOT) processes to prevent severe malocclusion (secondary prevention) as a single system that provides a positive result in maxillofacial development in children. The introduction of a pediatric dentist as an operator and a coordinator of the prevention program implementation into the structure of preventive care for children's malocclusion determines the novelty of the prevention system conceptual model. The proposed conceptual model prioritizes an orthodontist who provides secondary prevention of severe malocclusion by early orthodontic treatment (EOT) to children during the growth and development of malocclusions. The introduction of a malocclusion assessment to identify the EOT need score also determines the novelty of the malocclusion secondary prevention subsystem. The model places a high value on the management function/ management issues. Severe malocclusion prevention program implementation in children requires changing the paradigm of doctors, namely, pediatric dentists and orthodontists.Conclusion. The presented concept of the two-level malocclusion prevention organization (primary prevention of malocclusion in toddlers and preschoolers and secondary prevention of severe malocclusion by EOT in children aged 3-12 years) will allow for the reduction of the number of severe malocclusions during dental and facial development and for the need of complex treatment at later stages, will contribute to children health preservation, their social adaptation and the child and family quality of life increase.

De la domestication du mil aux récoltes de grains excédentaires : données archéologiques associées
Authors: Dupuy Christian 
Published: April 2023

On commence à saisir, grâce à l’archéologie, les conséquences qu’a eues l’agriculture du mil sur l’évolution de la société ouest-africaine à partir de la fin du IIIe millénaire av. J.-C., époque où la graminée acquiert sa morphologie domestique aux confins du Mali, du Niger et de l’Algérie. Cette céréaliculture – la plus ancienne actuellement documentée en Afrique sub-saharienne – a permis :
-des productions de grains excédentaires,
-le développement d’artisanats spécialisés,
-une accentuation des hiérarchies sociales,
-la transmission de cultivars de mil jusqu’en Inde,
-et, à partir du Ier millénaire av. J.-C., la mise en place d’aristocraties guerrières.
