The objective of the study was to assess adolescent learners' nutritional knowledge to suggest early intervention strategies that address knowledge deficiency gaps that have a negative impact on personal health and productivity. A cross-sectional survey design was used in the study. One circuit was purposively selected from Pinetown District, KZN, South Africa. A representative sample of 108 learners was randomly selected from 7 of the 8 schools in the district to complete the investigator administered questionnaire between July and August 2017. Although the majority of learners were familiar with the nutrition education principles, a large proportion lacked the knowledge of essential nutrition and were in support of the incorporation of various strategies to promote nutrition education. Friedman test revealed significant differences, χ (3) = 192.4, p < 0.001, between the mean rank scores of familiarity to different nutrition principles. Relative to other principles, balanced diet and food groups were the most critical issues. The overall mean of 3.7 for learners' priority level on nutrition education principles indicated the learners' view that knowledge of all principles was necessary for the attainment of a healthy lifestyle. Many learners were not familiar with nutrition education principles. Hence this paper becomes very critical as it communicates the information to the community and suggests various nutrition education intervention strategies that have to be put in place in the school system to impart the necessary knowledge and skills that promote a long-term healthy lifestyle for the learners.

Emerging evidence shows that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play vital roles in cancer initiation and progression. However, the inherited mechanisms of how lncRNAs participate in PCa progression and treatment resistance remain unclear. Here, we found that a long noncoding RNA LINC00675 was upregulated in androgen-insensitive PCa cell lines and CRPC patients, which promoted PCa progression both in vitro and in vivo. Knockdown of LINC00675 markedly suppressed tumor formation and attenuated enzalutamide resistance of PCa cells. 4-Aminobutyric datasheet Mechanistically, LINC00675 could directly modulate androgen receptor's (AR) interaction with mouse double minute-2 (MDM2) and block AR's ubiquitination by binding to it. Meanwhile, LINC00675 could bind to GATA2 mRNA and stabilize its expression level, in which GATA2 could act as a co-activator in the AR signaling pathway. Notably, we treated subcutaneous xenografts models with enzalutamide and antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) targeting LINC00675 in vivo and found that targeting LINC00675 would benefit androgen-deprivation-insensitive models. Our findings disclose that the LINC00675/MDM2/GATA2/AR signaling axis is a potential therapeutic target for CRPC patients.Atherosclerosis-associated cardiovascular diseases are main causes leading to high mortality worldwide. Macrophage-derived foam cell formation via uptaking modified lipoproteins is the initial and core step in the process of atherosclerosis. Meanwhile, scavenger receptor is indispensable for the formation of foam cells. UCHL1, a deubiquitinase, has been widely studied in multiple cancers. UCHL1 could be an oncogene or a tumor suppressor in dependent of tumor types. It remains unknown whether UCHL1 influences cellular oxLDL
