Occurrence, potential sources and ecological risk of current-use pesticides in mangrove sediments from South China.

Mangrove forests act as sinks for contaminants carried by inland runoff, while the occurrence and potential ecological risk of current-use pesticides (CUPs) in mangrove sediments are limitedly known. In this study, 75 of pesticides (including 57 insecticides, 13 herbicides and 5 fungicides) were analyzed in 38 mangrove sediments from urban, agricultural, and aquicultural areas in Zhanjiang, China. The total pesticide concentrations in sediments ranged from 4.

Laparoscopic surgery for broad ligament adenomyoma: A case report and literature review.

Rationale: Adenomyoma of the broad ligament is rare. Owing to the absence of typical clinical signs and imaging methods, preoperative diagnosis is challenging, and it is mainly diagnosed through surgical pathology.

Patient Concerns: The patient experienced recurrent lower abdominal pain for 4 years.

Hysteroscopic treatment for interstitial pregnancy: A case report.

Interstitial pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy in which the gestational sac implants in a unique location within the uterus. Rupture of an interstitial pregnancy can lead to severe, potentially life-threatening uterine hemorrhage. Common treatment options include laparoscopic surgery to incise the myometrium and remove the embryo, laparoscopic wedge resection of the lesion, or medical therapy.

The Functions of Major Gut Microbiota in Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes.

Gut microbiomes play a vital role in maintaining whole-body metabolic homeostasis. It has gained significant attention in recent years due to advancements in genome sequencing technologies and a deeper understanding of its relationship with obesity. However, the specific ways in which different microorganisms directly or indirectly influence host obesity, as well as the underlying mechanisms, remain uncertain because of the complexity of gut microbiota composition.

Pure red emission with spectral stability in full iodine-based quasi-2D perovskite films by controlling phase distribution.

Quasi-2D perovskites have emerged as a promising candidate material for displays owing to their high photoluminescence quantum yields and low-cost solution synthesis. However, achieving pure red quasi-2D perovskite films with luminescence centered at 630 nm and a narrow emission band presents a critical challenge for high-definition displays. Herein, by incorporating 18-crown-6 as additives that simultaneously passivate defects and regulate phase distribution, full iodine-based quasi-2D perovskite films with a single red emission peak and spectral stability are designed.

Corrigendum: Immune regulation and prognostic prediction model establishment and validation of PSMB6 in lung adenocarcinoma.

[This corrects the article DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2024.

Immune regulation and prognostic prediction model establishment and validation of PSMB6 in lung adenocarcinoma.

Lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors, and patients are often diagnosed at an advanced stage, posing a substantial risk to human health, so it is crucial to establish a model to forecast the prognosis of patients with lung cancer. Recent research has indicated that proteasome 20S subunit 6 (PSMB6) may be closely associated with anti-apoptotic pathways, and proliferation transduction signals in tumor cells of different tumors. However, the precise role of PSMB6 in the immunoregulatory processes within lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is yet to be elucidated.

Initiating PeriCBD to probe perinatal influences on neurodevelopment during 3-10 years in China.

Adverse perinatal factors can interfere with the normal development of the brain, potentially resulting in long-term effects on the comprehensive development of children. Presently, the understanding of cognitive and neurodevelopmental processes under conditions of adverse perinatal factors is substantially limited. There is a critical need for an open resource that integrates various perinatal factors with the development of the brain and mental health to facilitate a deeper understanding of these developmental trajectories.

Developmental cascades of behavior problems and cognitive ability from toddlerhood to middle childhood: A 9-year longitudinal study.

Little is known about the direction, ordering, and uniqueness of longitudinal associations between behavior problems and cognitive ability, from toddlerhood to middle childhood. A developmental cascade model was tested in the present study to examine the transactional processes in 103 Chinese children at the ages of 1, 2, 7, and 9 years. Behavior problems were assessed using the maternal reported Infant-Toddler Social and Emotional Assessment at the ages of 1, 2 and parental reported Children Behavior Checklist at the ages of 7, 9.

A Chinese multi-modal neuroimaging data release for increasing diversity of human brain mapping.

The big-data use is becoming a standard practice in the neuroimaging field through data-sharing initiatives. It is important for the community to realize that such open science effort must protect personal, especially facial information when raw neuroimaging data are shared. An ideal tool for the face anonymization should not disturb subsequent brain tissue extraction and further morphological measurements.

Charting the human amygdala development across childhood and adolescence: Manual and automatic segmentation.

The developmental pattern of the amygdala throughout childhood and adolescence has been inconsistently reported in previous neuroimaging studies. Given the relatively small size of the amygdala on full brain MRI scans, discrepancies may be partly due to methodological differences in amygdalar segmentation. To investigate the impact of volume extraction methods on amygdala volume, we compared FreeSurfer, FSL and volBrain segmentation measurements with those obtained by manual tracing.

Chinese Color Nest Project : An accelerated longitudinal brain-mind cohort.

The ongoing Chinese Color Nest Project (CCNP) was established to create normative charts for brain structure and function across the human lifespan, and link age-related changes in brain imaging measures to psychological assessments of behavior, cognition, and emotion using an accelerated longitudinal design. In the initial stage, CCNP aims to recruit 1520 healthy individuals (6-90 years), which comprises three phases: developing (devCCNP: 6-18 years, N = 480), maturing (matCCNP: 20-60 years, N = 560) and aging (ageCCNP: 60-84 years, N = 480). In this paper, we present an overview of the devCCNP, including study design, participants, data collection and preliminary findings.

Transfer of Salmonella from Inert Food Contact Surfaces to Wheat Flour, Cornmeal, and NaCl.

Abstract: Salmonella contamination in a dry processing facility frequently requires removal methods that are nonaqueous. Removal of pathogens from food processing systems with a purge of uncontaminated dry food materials has been proposed; however, little is known with respect to efficacy. In this study, survival of Salmonella on inert contact surfaces and transfer of Salmonella from inert contact surfaces to low-moisture foods were evaluated.

Cognitive training improves emotion regulation in Chinese preschool children.

Background: The ability to regulate emotion effectively plays a key role in child psychosocial development and mental health. The current study examines the effect of cognitive training for executive function on emotion regulation in Chinese preschool children, and further investigate the underlying mediating mechanisms.

Methods: A cluster randomized control trial design with pre-test and post-test was conducted in 61 preschool children aged 3-6 years in China.

Alkaline-promoted regulation of the peroxidase-like activity of Ni/Co LDHs and development bioassays.

Nanozymes' activities could be regulated by a simple and effective pH change in an in situ manner. In this work, for the first time, the peroxidase-like activity of Ni/Co layered double hydroxides (LDHs) was regulated via the alkaline-promoted reaction of fluorogenic substrate homovanillic acid and HO, and a promising tool for pH sensing was developed over the pH range of 8.3-9.

Maternal childhood emotional abuse predicts Chinese infant behavior problems: Examining mediating and moderating processes.
