Education Narrows Gender Disparities in Cognitive Function in China: Evidence From a Cross-Cohort Comparison Study.

ObjectivesThis study examines how education has shaped gender disparities in cognitive function across birth cohorts in China, where gender equality in education has substantially improved.MethodUsing longitudinal data from individuals aged 55+ in the China Health and Nutrition Survey (1997-2015), we first applied within-between random effects models to assess whether gender disparities in cognitive function at the sample's mean age of 65.5 varied across birth cohorts.

Targeting the HLA-E-NKG2A axis in combination with MS-275 enhances NK cell-based immunotherapy against DMG.

Background: Diffuse midline glioma (DMG) is an aggressive pediatric brain tumor with limited treatment options. Although natural killer (NK) cell-based immunotherapy is promising, its efficacy remains limited, necessitating strategies to enhance NK cell cytotoxicity. Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition demonstrate potential to enhance NK-mediated killing.

NAD+ Metabolic Enzyme Inhibitor as Radiosensitizer for Malignant Meningioma and its Modulation of P53 Expression.

Surgical resection followed by radiotherapy (RT) is recommended for malignant meningioma, but poor outcome is unavoidable. To improve the efficacy of RT in malignant meningioma, a targeted radiosensitizer can be added. Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), highly expressed in high-grade meningiomas, may play a role in determining the radioresponse.

Evaluation of the effect of pharmaceutical care during inpatient treatment in a department of neurology: A retrospective study.

Common drug-related problems during neurology inpatient treatment can affect expected health results. Some interventions need to be implemented to reduce DRPs. To explore the effect of care from clinical pharmacists during inpatient treatment.

Corrosion Resistance of Modified Hexagonal Boron Nitride (h-BN) Nanosheets Doped Acrylic Acid Coating on Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel.

The hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanosheets modified by silane coupling agent (KH560) were doped into acrylic acid coating on the surface of galvanized steel to improve its corrosion resistance. H-BN nanosheets modified by KH560 were prepared and characterised by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The corrosion resistance of the acrylic acid coatings was measured by electrochemical testing.

A Budget Proposal for China's Public Long-Term Care Policy.

Long-term care (LTC) policy is at an experimental stage in China, characterized by various regional pilot programs. The public cost of LTC is difficult to estimate due to a lack of clarity about policy detail from the central government. This article analyzes the current disabled status for vulnerable older people without sufficient financial resources and family supports.
