Internet access for adolescents is becoming more prevalent around the world. Although video game playing has been verified to be negatively related to adolescent academic achievement, the mechanisms underlying this relationship are also unknown. Using a nationally representative sample of adolescents from the China Education Panel Survey (2014-2015), this study aims to explore the parallel mediation roles of self-educational expectation and learning attitude in the link between video game playing and academic achievement, and whether the direct and indirect effects are moderated by parent-child relationship.

Methods: In this study, tissue samples and clinicopathological characteristics were obtained from 125 cervical cancer patients. FLG-AS1 expression levels in the samples were detected by polymerase chain reaction assay.
Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), a common endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC), is widely used in daily articles, early exposure to DEHP is associated with many behavioral changes in pups. This study aimed to investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of maternal exposure to DEHP on the impaired social interaction in pups. Pregnant rats were administered 0, 30, 300, or 750 mg/kg/d DEHP daily by oral gavage.

Background: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been widely used in the exploration of diseases in recent years. This paper introduced the significance of lncRNA LINC00324 (LINC00324) on the progression of cervical cancer and explored the mechanism of action and potential prognosis of LINC00324.
Methods: The cervical cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues of 120 people were collected as research samples.
Objective: There is an unmet need to improve clinical outcomes for patients with recurrent/metastatic cervical cancer. Checkpoint inhibitors represent a promising treatment strategy. We evaluated the safety and anti-tumor activity of zimberelimab, an anti-programmed cell death protein-1 antibody, in patients with previously treated, recurrent, metastatic cervical cancer.

Wnt7a is a known tumor suppressor gene which is often downregulated in NSCLC, and restoration of Wnt7a leads to decreased NSCLC cell proliferation. However, the biological role of Wnt7a in the migration and invasion in NSCLC remains unclear.

Previous studies have indicated that Wnt7a expression was downregulated in radiation-resistant NSCLC cells. However, little is known about its biological functions and molecular mechanisms in radiosensitivity of NSCLC.
