Objective: The present study was designed to explore the relationship between physical exercise and sleep quality. Specifically, it investigates the extent to which this relationship is mediated by a sequential process involving health literacy and life satisfaction.
Methods: Data on physical exercise, sleep quality, health literacy, and life satisfaction were collected from a sample of 12,646 college students (study participants) using a questionnaire.
Objective: This study aims to investigate the impact of Physical Activity on Self-Emotional Management among university students and to verify the mediating roles of Self-Rated Health and Life Satisfaction.
Methods: A stratified cluster sampling method was used to enroll 10,300 university students from Western China. Questionnaires were used to collect data, which included demographic and sociological information, the Physical Activity Scale (for measuring Physical Activity), the Emotional Intelligence Scale (for measuring Self-Emotional Management), the Short-Form Health Survey (for measuring Self-Rated Health), and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (for measuring Life Satisfaction).
Background: Ophiuroids, belonging to Ophiuroidea in Echinodermata, possess remarkable regenerative capacities in their arms, relying on cellular recruitment and de-differentiation. However, limited high-quality genomic resources have hindered the investigation of the underlying molecular mechanisms of ophiuroid regeneration.
Results: Here, we report a chromosome-level genome of Ophiura sarsii vadicola, 259.
Cardiopulmonary endurance is a crucial factor affecting cardiovascular health. In recent years, the incidence of metabolic syndrome among university students has been on the rise due to poor cardiopulmonary endurance. Existing studies have shown that high-quality sleep is an important means of improving cardiopulmonary health; however, the mechanism by which sleep influences the cardiopulmonary endurance of university students remains unclear.

The detection of Cerebral Microbleeds (CMBs) is crucial for diagnosing cerebral small vessel disease. However, due to the small size and subtle appearance of CMBs in susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI), manual detection is both time-consuming and labor-intensive. Meanwhile, the presence of similar-looking features in SWI images demands significant expertise from clinicians, further complicating this process.

Autophagy modulates the degradation and recycling of intracellular materials and contributes to male gametophyte development and male fertility in plants. However, whether autophagy participates in seed development remains largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that autophagy is crucial for timely programmed cell death (PCD) in the integumentary tapetum, the counterpart of anther tapetum, influencing embryo pattern formation and seed viability.

Methods: Cytomorphology and ancillary ICC by automated immunostainer on ThinPrep slides were performed to subclassify 271 cytology cases of pulmonary tumor, which were stained with 2 or more of the following antibodies: p40, p63, thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1), Napsin A, synaptophysin (Syn), and CD56.
Results: The accuracy of cytological subtyping was improved from 67.

To evaluate the association between genetic polymorphisms and plasma concentration-to-dose ratio of valproic acid (CDRV) in Chinese epileptic patients. A total of 46 epileptic patients treated with valproic acid therapy were enrolled. 18 SNPs in nine genes related to valproic acid were directly sequenced with Sanger methods.

Chromatography is a good alternative to immunoassay. In this study, a simple and robust non-derivatization gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method for simultaneous determination of the above four drugs in human plasma was developed and validated for therapeutic drug monitoring purposes.

Objectives: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are thought to have a malignant potential. However, utilizing endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) to differentiate GISTs from other types of subepithelial lesions (SELs) remains challenging. Artificial intelligence (AI)-based diagnostic systems for EUS have been reported to have a promising performance, although the results of the previous studies remain controversial.

The MIPs were polymerized by bulk polymerization using our synthesized compound, 2-(4-vinylphenyl) quinolin-4-carboxylic acid, as functional monomer, which achieved better adsorption specificity than universal MIPs. Then, the molecularly imprinted solid phase extraction (MISPE) based on this material was coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for the detection of LTG in human serum.
