Perceived stress and sleep quality in young and middle-aged patients with coronary heart disease: the mediating role of perceived social support and mental health literacy by Ying Lu, Juan Li, Zhenzhen Cui, Mengzhen Zheng, Yuqin Zhao

“…Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to examine relationships between variables, while linear regression analysis was used to assess the predictive effects of perceived stress, PSS, and MHL on sleep quality. Additionally, the PROCESS 4.2 macro for SPSS was employed to explore the mediating roles of PSS and MHL in the relationship between patients’ perceived stress and sleep quality.ResultsCorrelation analysis revealed that perceived stress in young and middle-aged patients with CHD was negatively correlated with MHL (r = −0.381, p < 0.001) and PSS (r = −0.244, p < 0.001), but positively correlated with sleep quality (r = 0.349, p < 0.001). …”

LINC01088/miR-22/CDC6 Axis Regulates Prostate Cancer Progression by Activating the PI3K/AKT Pathway by Jianwei Li, Xinghua Huang, Haodong Chen, Caifu Gu, Binyu Ni, Jianhua Zhou

“…LINC01088 or CDC6 was upregulated in prostate tumor tissues or cells, whereas miR-22 was downregulated, miR-22 directly targets both LINC01088 and CDC6. si-LINC01088 inhibits the PCa process by suppressing the PI3K/AKT pathway. CDC6 reverses si-linc01088-mediated cell growth inhibition and reduction of PI3K and AKT protein levels. …”
