Platycodin D restricts NDV replication via modulation of Mapk, NLRP3 inflammasome and interferon signaling
Healthy aging among community-dwelling older adults aged ≥60 years in China
Background and aims With the global population aging, this study aimed to estimate the prevalence of healthy aging and its associated factors in China. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in Henan Province, China, in 2023. A multi-stage, stratified, probability-proportional-to-size (PPS) sampling method was employed to enroll 9,180 community-dwelling older adults aged ≥60 years. Healthy aging was defined as “no major chronic diseases…
The Impact of Generative Artificial Intelligence on Academic Development of Chinese Students in Humanities and Social Sciences
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is reshaping learning in higher education, with particularly pronounced implications for the humanities and social sciences (HSS), where learning outcomes are commonly expressed through written and interpretive forms that align closely with GenAI’s capabilities. Yet, systematic evidence on the educational impacts of GenAI on HSS students remains limited. Addressing this gap, this study draws on a large-s…
The factors that influence online review quality
China’s new energy vehicle industry has gradually shifted from relying on policy support in the past to a state where enterprise survival is determined by the market, which has driven the industry to accelerate its move toward market orientation. This study aims to help potential consumers quickly locate and obtain valuable, high-quality reviews, while also assisting new energy vehicle companies in improving product quality and service levels to …
The dance of power and responsibility
Cancer survivors’ experiences with mHealth interventions for PA
Background: Global cancer is rising, and many survivors struggle to stay active despite clear health benefits. Mobile health tools can help with tracking and guidance, but users' real needs and barriers are unclear. This qualitative metasynthesis summarizes what survivors want, what helps, and what gets in the way. Methods: We systematically searched CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, CBM, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, and CINAHL from incept…
Linking anger and disgust to motives and anticipations of aggression in the East
Anger and disgust often underlie responses to social transgressions, yet their links to aggressive punishments have been primarily studied in Western populations.Across two studies sampling from Japan, we tested a socio-functional account of these two other-condemning moral emotions, which predicts differential associations of anger and disgust with direct versus indirect aggression.Study 1 (N = 1,231) revealed that anger relates to motives to ag…
Resource Possession in the Mind’s Eye
Social hierarchies ultimately concern resource possession, yet psychological processes for regulating resource-related tensions remain underexplored. We examine how support for intergroup equality (egalitarianism) relates to explicit attitudes toward, and mental images of, the resource poor. In Study 1 ( N = 625), egalitarians report more favorable attitudes toward the resource poor than anti-egalitarians. However, using the reverse correlation p…
The COPD risk associated with adulthood weight change and early adulthood BMI
Gaps concerning general adiposity and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are delaying policies for weight interventions in COPD prevention, especially adiposity in early adulthood and weight changes during adulthood. Based on the China Kadoorie Biobank, a prospective cohort between 2004–2008 covering 5 urban and 5 rural areas, we included 138,764 males and 194,159 females aged 35 ~ 70 years. Weight change was defined as the difference b…
Ginsenoside Rg1 attenuates T2DM-induced renal damage and fibrosis by inhibiting TRPC6-ChRebp-TXNIP signaling
Verification of the model of geographical synthetic thinking teaching behavior by Chinese geography teachers based on the TPB
Comfort with microbe-sharing contact across the Covid-19 pandemic
Theory within the behavioral immune system literature suggests that pathogen-avoidance adaptations should lead to increased contact avoidance under conditions of increased disease salience. The current study examined this hypothesis by assessing whether comfort with microbe-sharing interpersonal contact varied across the COVID-19 pandemic, when disease threats varied in salience. A longitudinal survey was conducted in the Netherlands in four peri…
Deep-sea mining of massive sulfides
Beyond Outrage
The modern world affords unprecedented opportunities for individuals to express moral sentiments. The widespread distribution of one specific type of sentiment — outrage — has consequences for social and political harmony. The current investigation contributes to better understanding these consequences by examining what types of aggression people expect from the outraged. Furthermore, it delineates how these expectations are shaped by the emotion…
Central African biomass carbon losses and gains during 2010–2019
Carbon accumulation rate peaks at 1,000-m elevation in tropical planted and regrowth forests
Tropical planted and regrowth forests (TPRFs) are one of the most low-cost components for recovering biomass-stored carbon in the tropics. Nevertheless, challenges persist in pinpointing which elevational ranges exhibit the largest carbon accumulation rate ( γ r a p i d ) due to the highly inconsistent previous assessments. This prevents the selection of optimal locations for implementing large-scale reforestation in the tropics. Here, we propose…
Cow placenta extract ameliorates d-galactose-induced liver damage by regulating BAX/Casp3 and p53/p21/p16 pathways
CPE effectively ameliorated the impact of aging on the liver by inhibiting free radical production or scavenging excessive free radicals, and its mechanism is associated to the regulation of apoptosis and proliferation-related factors
Moral violations that target more valued victims elicit more anger, but not necessarily more disgust
The same moral violation can give rise to different emotional and behavioral responses in different individuals. The mechanisms that give rise to such differences – and the functions that those mechanisms serve – are unclear. Previous work suggests that people experience greater anger toward violations that target themselves or kin than those that target others, whereas they experience greater disgust toward violations that target others than tho…
Salience of infectious diseases did not increase xenophobia during the Covid-19 pandemic
Multiple proposals suggest that xenophobia increases when infectious disease threats are salient. The current longitudinal study tested this hypothesis by examining whether and how anti-immigrant sentiments varied in the Netherlands across four time points during the COVID-19 pandemic (May 2020, February 2021, October 2021 and June 2022 through Flycatcher.eu). The results revealed that (1) anti-immigrant sentiments were no higher in early assessm…
Are people more averse to microbe-sharing contact with ethnic outgroup members? A registered report
Intergroup biases are widespread across cultures and time. The current study tests an existing hypothesis that has been proposed to explain such biases: the mind has evolved to interpret outgroup membership as a cue to pathogen threat. In this registered report, we test a core feature of this hypothesis. Adapting methods from earlier work, we examine (1) whether people are less comfortable with microbe-sharing contact with an ethnic outgroup memb…
Re-evaluating the relationship between pathogen avoidance and preferences for facial symmetry and sexual dimorphism
Over the past decade, a small literature has tested how trait-level pathogen-avoidance motives (e.g., disgust sensitivity) and exposure to pathogen cues relate to preferences for facial symmetry and sexual dimorphism. Results have largely been interpreted as suggesting that the behavioral immune system influences preferences for these features in potential mates. However, findings are limited by small sample sizes among studies reporting supporti…

The Impact of the Sars-COV-2 Pandemic on the Mental Health and Employment Decisions of Medical Students in North China
Background: The outbreak of severe respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) has led to long periods of social isolation for individuals across the world. Although medical students generally have a high prevalence of mental health problems, they have received less attention than other groups concerning the impact of SARS-COV-2. Therefore, the present study investigated the mental health status, risk factors, and protective factors for menta…
Paris saponin VII extracted from trillium tschonoskii suppresses proliferation and induces apoptosis of human colorectal cancer cells
Intakes of magnesium, calcium and risk of fatty liver disease and prediabetes
Objective Obesity and insulin resistance play important roles in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Mg intake is linked to a reduced risk of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance; people with NAFLD or alcoholic liver disease are at high risk of Mg deficiency. The present study aimed to investigate whether Mg and Ca intakes were associated with risk of fatty liver disease and prediabetes by alcohol drinking status. …
Barriers to the Supply of Non-Government Disability Services in China
In the last five years, the Chinese government has begun to encourage the development of non-government organisations (NGO) to increase the supply of social support. Although changes in the NGO sector in China are well researched, questions remain about the barriers to increasing the supply of social services from registered NGOs. We use Mattei's managerial and democratic accountability framework to examine empirical data about the relationship b…
