    International Journal of Mental Health Promotion, Vol.27, No.1, pp. 29-40, 2025, DOI:10.32604/ijmhp.2025.057962 - 31 January 2025

    Abstract Background: Although previous studies indicate that perceived social support might be associated with adolescent psychological problems, the specific mechanism has not been thoroughly discussed. Based on theoretical and empirical research on problematic Internet use (PIU) and sleep quality, this study explored whether they play a mediating role between perceived social support and symptoms of depression and anxiety among adolescents. Furthermore, we investigated whether these relationships varied by place of residence. Methods: A sample of 2115 Chinese adolescents was included, and analyzed data related to perceived social support, PIU, sleep quality, symptoms of depression and anxiety,… More >

    Abstract Background: Early adolescents become increasingly conscious of their body image, which can profoundly impact their mental health and well-being. In South Korea, societal pressures and expectations regarding physical appearance are particularly intense, making the study of body-esteem in Korean adolescents especially pertinent. This study explores the roles of self-esteem, peer attachment, and maternal attachments in shaping body-esteem among early adolescents. Methods: Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed using data from 1326 Korean middle school students (Meanage = 13.32, SD = 1.73).

    Epigenetic regulation of ABCG2 promoter methylation in adolescents with hyperuricemia

    XUETING HUANG1, CHAOJIE XU2, CHEN LI3,*, ZHIXIAN PAN1,*

    BIOCELL, Vol.48, No.12, pp. 1805-1813, 2024, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2024.056431 - 30 December 2024

    Abstract Background: Hyperuricemia is a metabolic disorder which is characterized by increased serum uric acid levels, which can contribute to serious health issues such as gout, cardiovascular disease, and kidney damage. Epigenetic modifications, for example, DNA methylation, exert a crucial function in gene regulation and have been implicated in various metabolic disorders. The ATP-Binding Cassette Subfamily G Member 2 (ABCG2) gene is involved in uric acid excretion, and its expression can be influenced by methylation of its promoter region. Methods: This study involved the design of three guide RNA (gRNA) sequences targeting specific CpG sites within… More >
