Together, these studies provide functional insight into myeloid cell-derived netrin-1 in controlling lung inflammation through the modulation of CCL2-dependent infiltration of NK cells. The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is effective in reducing HPV-related disease. The 2-, 4-, and 9-valent HPV vaccines have been approved by the Chinese FDA since 2016; however, factors associated with HPV vaccine acceptability and use in Chinese young adults remain unclear. We conducted a systematic review to analyze factors affecting HPV vaccine acceptability and use in Chinese young adults. A comprehensive search of databases (e.g., PubMed, CINAHL, and PsycINFO) was conducted, and articles between 2011 and 2020 were included. Seventeen studies were included in the final review, and eleven were conducted in mainland China and six in Hong Kong. All studies reported low level of HPV-related knowledge. Better knowledge, more concerns about HPV-associated diseases, and being female were found associated with higher vaccine acceptability. The vaccine cost and safety were the major concerns for vaccination. Findings suggested a low level of HPV-related knowledge and suboptimal vaccination rate in Chinese young adults. Theory-based interventions addressing knowledge and other influencing factors and involving both males and females are urgently needed to increase vaccine acceptability and use in Chinese young adults.

In this study, we investigated the pathophysiological roles of 5,6-DiHETE in murine colitis and its underlying mechanisms of action, focusing on the effects on transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) channel activity. Oral administration of dextran sodium sulfate (DSS, 2%, for 4 days) caused colon inflammation, which peaked on day 7 and gradually declined by day 18. 5,6-DiHETE concentration in colon tissue was significantly increased during the healing phase of colitis (days 9 to 18). In vitro study showed that pretreatment with 5,6-DiHETE (0.1-1 μM, 30 minutes) significantly inhibited endothelial barrier disruption induced by a TRPV4 agonist (GSK1016790A, 50 nM). Intracellular Ca2+ imaging also showed that pretreatment with 5,6-DiHETE (1 μM, 10 minutes) reduced GSK1016790A-induced intracellular Ca2+ increase in HEK293T cells overexpressing TRPV4. In vivo, intraperitoneal administration of 5,6-DiHETE (50 µg kg-1 day-1 ) during the healing phase accelerated the recovery from DSS-induced colitis. Pathological studies showed that the administration of 5,6-DiHETE inhibited edema formation and leukocyte infiltration in inflamed colon tissue. In conclusion, we identified 5,6-DiHETE as a novel endogenous TRPV4 antagonist, and we also demonstrated that its administration promotes the healing of colitis by inhibiting inflammatory responses. Growing up in an environment where substance use is prevalent creates a climate for adverse childhood experiences. These experiences can contribute to mental and psychological problems later in life. This study used an exploratory study design to explore the experiences of individuals whose upbringing was influenced by substance use at home or who had parents with addiction problems. Four themes shaped the participants' lives (1) impact of substance use at home on children; (2) school influences on substance use; (3) aggravating traumatic life experiences, and d) rebuilding a battered life. Growing up in homes with addictions created
