Health literacy model integrating health education, health behaviors, self-rated health, and socioeconomic status in the Chinese population.

Health literacy is crucial for influencing health behaviors and outcomes; however, its development in China has been hindered by the lack of effective measurement tools and conceptual models. This study aimed to evaluate health literacy among Chinese residents using the HLS-Q47 and construct a health literacy model. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Guangzhou from February to June 2023 involving 4047 participants.

Synergistic catalysis of VN quantum dots and S/N heteroatoms enabling fast reaction kinetics for lithium-sulfur batteries.

This work reports an advanced sulfur host integrating VN quantum dots and S/N heteroatoms as dual catalytic sites for lithium-sulfur batteries, which can significantly facilitate the adsorption and conversion of soluble lithium polysulfides, thereby endowing lithium-sulfur batteries with high reversible specific capacity and excellent cycling stability.

Genome-Wide Identification and Comprehensive Analysis of Gene Family in Under Abiotic Stress.

The (APETALA2/ethylene-responsive element binding factor) family represents one of the largest transcription factor families in plants, playing pivotal roles in abiotic stress responses and hormone signaling pathways. Through genome-wide analysis, we identified 163 genes in . Transcriptome data revealed that 12 genes were significantly upregulated under either drought or flooding stress, with 8 genes responding to both conditions.

Veillonella intestinal colonization promotes C. difficile infection in Crohn's disease.

Crohn's disease is a severe inflammatory disorder of the intestine for which there is no cure. Individuals suffering from Crohn's disease are at an increased risk of developing Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), which considerably exacerbates symptoms. Using a prospective observational clinical study combined with animal models of intestinal inflammation, we show that intestinal colonization by Veillonella, an oral commensal, promotes CDI in Crohn's disease.
