The impact of timing perception strategy on intertemporal decision-making in older adults: the role of subjective time perception.

With the global aging population, an increasing number of researchers are interested in the intertemporal choice issues faced by older adults. Previous studies have examined how age-related differences in time perception affect intertemporal choices. However, the impact of time perception strategy on intertemporal decision-making among older adults remains unclear.

Nrf2 signaling attenuates epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and renal interstitial fibrosis via PI3K/Akt signaling pathways.

Background: Nrf2 constitutes a therapeutic reference point for renal fibrosis and chronic kidney diseases. Nrf2-related signaling pathways are recognized to temper endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in fibrotic tissue. Nevertheless, the mechanism by which Nrf2 mitigates renal interstitial fibrosis is imprecise.

Etiology and antimicrobial resistance patterns in pediatric urinary tract infection.

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of most common pediatric infections. The aim of this study was to investigate the etiology and antimicrobial resistance patterns in children hospitalized at Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective, descriptive study of all UTI from 1 January 2013 to 30 November 2016 in children discharged from Nanjing Children's Hospital.
