Violence against children is a widespread problem with devastating consequences, and corporal punishment is a risk factor for more serious forms of physical abuse. One reason for the persistence of corporal punishment may be the lack of awareness of positive disciplinary alternatives. Nonviolent options offered to caregivers and teachers must be effective in addressing challenging behavior, or they may be rejected in favor of a return to physical punishment. There is an urgent need to determine which discipline options are evidence-supported and what that evidence says so that robust alternatives to corporal punishment can be made available. The primary objective of this research was to find, and explore the state of the science on, individual nonviolent interventions for challenging behavior, in so doing forming a "tool kit" for use by caregivers and teachers. A systematic overview of systematic reviews was conducted. Included systematic reviews were peer-reviewed and published in English between 1999 and 2018. Screening, quality assessment using AMSTAR, and data extraction were performed independently by two reviewers. A total of 223 reviews were included, covering data from 3,921 primary studies. A wide range of evidence-supported interventions exist, many of which have been found effective with severely challenging behavior. Important positive outcomes shown suggest that the use of these tools should be promoted not only for the prevention of violence but also for optimum child development. More research is needed on the use of these methods in home situations and on de-escalation skills.

Background Increasing evidence confirms that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) has a vital impact on the procession of cervical cancer (CC). The present study aimed to investigate the clinical significance of LINC01089 in CC, as well as explore its biological functions and potential molecular mechanisms. Methods A quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was utilized to investigate the expression of LINC01089 and miR-27a-3p in CC cells and tissues. Analysis of the correlation between the expression level of LINC01089 and the clinical pathological parameters of CC was then conducted. The human CC cell lines HeLa and SiHa were utilized for transfection to establish a gain-of-function model and loss-of-function models. Western blotting and a qRT-PCR were performed to detect B-cell translocation gene-2 (BTG2) expression in CC cells. Cell counting kit (CCK)-8 and 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU) assays were performed to detect the proliferation of CC cells. The transwell method was employed to evaluate the migration and invasion of CC cells. The interactions between LINC01089 and miR-27a-3p were verified by bioinformatics, a dual luciferase reporter gene experiment and a RNA immunoprecipitation experiment, respectively. Results The expression of LINC01089 in CC was markedly down-regulated. The low expression of LINC01089 in CC was closely associated with a larger tumor size and positive lymph node metastasis. Moreover, overexpression of LINC01089 impeded the proliferation and metastasis of CC cells, whereas knockdown of LINC01089 had the opposite biological functions. In terms of mechanism, LINC01089 could sponge miR-27a-3p and indirectly up-regulate BTG2 expression. Conclusions LINC01089, as a tumor suppressor, impedes the development of CC by targeting miR-27a-3p to up-regulate BTG2 expression.
