Understanding a “New” Human-Companion Animal Bond: The Mechanism of Interactions between Cats and Young People
By exploring the role and mechanism by which cats affect the psychological wellbeing of young people living alone, the study aims to deepen the understanding of a human-companion animal interaction. Using a constructivist grounded theory approach, 16 semi-structured interviews with eight Chinese young people were conducted, and subsequently a theoretical model was constructed. The study found that young people living alone in urban areas in China…
Neighborhood-level socioeconomic disadvantage is associated with gut microbial composition and diversity across many chronic disease states
Background Socioeconomic disparities play a major role in health and disease. Growing evidence suggests that healthcare access accounts for only part of these outcomes, and additional biological mechanisms remain to be elucidated. The gut microbiome is a central component of health and disease and can be affected by environmental factors and socioeconomic disparities. Methods Using a large cohort with diverse comorbidities identified in the Elixh…
The association between nighttime sleep duration and digestive diseases in middle-aged and older population in China: Mediating role of depression
Current studies have not sufficiently explored the connection between nighttime sleep duration and digestive diseases, particularly the potential mediating effect of depression in this relationship. This study aims to clarify the interrelationships among the three variables. This study utilized the 2018 CHARLS (China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study) dataset to examine the associations among nighttime sleep duration, depression, and diges…
Associations between metabolic score for visceral fat and urinary incontinence among US adult women: A population-based cross-sectional study
METS-VF was positively associated with UI prevalence (SUI, UUI) and moderate to severe UI. These findings underscore the importance of visceral fat assessment in identifying individuals at risk for UI, offering novel insights for prevention and management strategies. METS-VF may serve as a practical tool for early risk stratification and personalized clinical interventions

Low-dose-rate induces more severe cognitive impairment than high-dose-rate in rats exposed to chronic low-dose γ-radiation
Background: Owing to the long penetration depth of gamma (γ)-rays, individuals working in ionizing radiation environments are chronically exposed to low-dose γ-radiation, resulting in cognitive changes. Dose rate significantly affects radiation-induced biological effects; however, its role in chronic low-dose γ-irradiation-induced cognitive impairment remains unclear. We aimed to investigate whether chronic low-dose γ-irradiation at low-dose-rate…
Parental Reactions to Children’s Negative Emotions in France and the United States: Links to Preschoolers’ Socioemotional Outcomes
Parental reactions to children’s negative emotions (PRCNEs), a type of emotion socialization, has been theorized to shape children’s socioemotional development. Few studies have examined cultural variations in PRCNE among Western/Minority World cultures. The present study used a cross-cultural, preschool-based sample of 101 parent–child dyads (child age = 36–79 months, 42% females; parent age = 19–58 years, 89% mothers) from two countries: U.S. (…

K–12 Asian American Studies as Praxis: Insights from Asian American Teachers
This article is an edited transcription of a conversation among Asian American teachers. The virtual conversation took place on October 28, 2022 with several educators from California, Texas, and Massachusetts and led by Asian American youth activist in Texas, Emy Chen. The teachers included Aileen Pagtakhan, middle school English language arts, history, and yearbook teacher in Union City, California; Katie Yue-Sum Li, former English as a second …
A polycultural theory of wisdom based on Habermas’s worldview
Building on Habermas’s worldview, this paper attempts to construct a theory of wisdom that integrates the advantages of Eastern and Western cultures. To this end, we review previous definitions of wisdom and their problems and analyze the importance of worldview for wisdom. A worldview provided by the German philosopher Jürgen Habermas is eminently persuasive. We argue that Habermas’s worldview provides a more suitable basis for a polycultural th…
Public injecting among a cohort of injecting drug users in Vancouver, Canada
BACKGROUND: Despite the implementation of policy interventions to address open drug consumption, public injecting continues to occur in many urban settings. This study sought to examine public injecting among a community-recruited cohort of injecting drug users (IDUs) in Vancouver. METHODS: The prevalence and correlates of recent public injecting among participants enrolled in the Vancouver Injection Drug User Study during the period of 1 Decembe…
Drastic elevations in mortality among female injection drug users in a Canadian setting
The health and social conditions of women living in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside has recently been the focus of substantial international attention. Since few studies have examined rates and correlates of death among addicted women in Canada, we have characterized patterns of mortality among female injection drug users (IDUs) in Vancouver. The Vancouver Injection Drug Users Study (VIDUS) is a prospective open cohort study of IDUs. The analyses p…
Differences in access to care among injection drug users infected either with HIV and hepatitis C or hepatitis C alone
Access to HCV (Hepatitis C virus) care for HIV/HCV-co-infected patients is an urgent public health concern. The objective of the present study was to describe the self-reported health status of HIV/HCV-co-infected and HCV-mono-infected injection drug users and to describe their access to HCV-related care. Beginning in May 1996, persons who had injected illicit drugs in the previous month were recruited into the Vancouver Injection Drug User Study…
Surviving the sex trade: A comparison of HIV risk behaviours among street-involved women in two Canadian cities who inject drugs
In Canada, very little is known about the factors and processes that cause drug-related harm among female intravenous drug users (IDUs). Women who inject drugs and participate in the survival sex trade are considered to be at increased risk for sexual and drug-related harms, including HIV infection. Between September 1999 and September 2000, women participating in the VIDUS cohort in Vancouver and the St. Luc Cohort in Montreal completed intervie…
Histone Adduction with Nicotine: A Bio-Ams Study
Based on the study of DNA adduction with nicotine, we have measured the mouse hepatic histone adduction with 14 C-labeled nicotine in vivo by bio-accelerator mass spectrometry (bio-AMS). In the exposure of mice to nicotine, the dose range administered was from 0.2 μg to 6.0 μg kg b.w. -1 , which was equivalent to a very low level of human exposure to cigarette smoke. The adducts of either histone 1 (H1) or histone 3 (H3) with nicotine in mouse li…
Genotoxicity Study on Nicotine and Nicotine-Derived Nitrosamine by Accelerator Mass Spectrometry
We have studied DNA adduction with 14 C-labeled nicotine and nicotine-derived nitrosamine, 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK), by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) in mouse liver at doses equivalent to low-level exposure of humans. The dose ranges of nicotine and NNK administered were from 0.4 μg to 4.0×10 2 μg kg b.w. -1 , and from 0.1 μg to 2.0×10 4 μg kg b.w. -1 , respectively. In the exposure of mice to either nicotine or …
