Background: Post-mating behavioral changes are crucial for optimizing female reproductive success in insects, frequently resulting in shifts in both physiology and behavior. In moths, light traps typically capture more mated females than unmated ones; however, the mechanisms driving this discrepancy remain unclear.

Results: In this study, we examined how mating status influences female light capture in the diamondback moth (DBM; Plutella xylostella).

Aim: Family resilience and healthy family functioning are crucial for stroke survivors' rehabilitation. This study aimed to determine the mediating effects of self-efficacy and confrontation coping on the relationship between family resilience and functioning among patients with first-episode stroke.

Design: A cross-sectional design was applied.

Background: The importance of family resilience in the recovery of stroke patients has been demonstrated in numerous studies. However, little is known about post-stroke family resilience.

Aims: To investigate the family resilience of stroke patients from a patient-caregiver dyadic perspective during the first 6 months after stroke.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the diagnostic potential of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), comparing them to a control group of healthy individuals.
  • Results show that CTC levels in OSCC patients were significantly higher than in the control group, and they correlated with factors like age and tumor stage, but not with demographics like gender.
  • The CTC measurement demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy for OSCC with a sensitivity of 90.3% and specificity of 95.0% at a specific value, suggesting it could be a valuable tool for detecting the disease and assessing metastasis.

Objective: To investigate the effect of a modified Wuzi Yanzong Pill (, WZYZP) on the male rats' testis after microwave radiation, as well as its potential mechanism.

Methods: Forty-five male rats were randomly assigned to three groups: the control group, the radiation group, and the WZYZP group. The rats in the radiation group and WZYZP group were exposed to microwave radiation for 15 min once, while the rats in the control group were not exposed to any radiation.

Objective: To study the chemical constituents of Salvia grandifolia.

Methods: The chemical constituents were isolated and purified by means of chromatographic techniques and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods.

Results: Eleven compounds were isolated from chloroform and ethyl acetate of ethanol extract, and identified as tanshinone Ⅵ( 1),tetrahydrotanshiquinone( 2),tanshinone ⅡB( 3),danshenol B( 4), ursolic acid( 5),2α-hydroxyursolic acid( 6),2α,3α-dihydroxyurs-12-en-28-oic acid( 7),salvianolic acid B(8),3,5-dihydroxycinnamic acid( 9),ethyl 3-( 3,4-dihydrophenyl) lactate( 10) and nepetoidin B( 11).
