Background: New drug dependency poses a significant threat to global mental health and behavior. Impulsivity - defined as poor self-control and delay discounting - is a well-established risk factor for substance abuse and relapse. Although childhood experiences are known to influence impulsivity, the specific roles of parenting styles and childhood abuse to new drug dependency remain underexplored.

Background: Cultivating new ophthalmic nurses' professional identity and humanistic practice ability is the key to improving the quality of future ophthalmic services. Traditional training focuses on skills and neglects humanistic practice and teaching methods are imperfect and single.
Background: The Rho GTPase Rac family small GTPase 1 (RAC1) is considered a promising fibrotic therapeutic target, but the role of its activator, dedicator of cytokinesis 2 (DOCK2), in liver fibrosis is largely unknown. This study aimed to investigate the expression and role of DOCK2 in cholestasis-induced liver fibrosis and to further explore the potential mechanisms.
Results: Cholestasis was induced in male C57BL/6 mice by bile duct ligation (BDL).
Background: Cancer is now recognized as a dyadic stress that seriously impacts the mental and physical well-being of both patients and their spousal caregivers (SCs). Analyzing from a dyadic perspective whether and how dyadic coping and family sense of coherence (FSOC) affect the quality of life (QOL) of couples is crucial.
Objective: To investigate the dyadic association between FSOC, dyadic coping, and QOL in young and middle-aged couples facing advanced lung cancer and to evaluate the mediating role of dyadic coping from a dyadic perspective.

Background: Cancer patients experience substantial psychological distress which causes the reduction of the quality of life. However, the risk of psychological distress has not been well predicted especially in young- and middle-aged gynaecological cancer patients. This study aimed to develop a prediction model for psychological distress in young- and middle-aged gynaecological cancer patients using the artificial neural network (ANN).

Objectives: Post-traumatic growth can improve the quality of life of cancer survivors. The objective of this study was to investigate post-traumatic growth heterogeneity trajectory in perioperative gastric cancer survivors, and to identify characteristics that predict membership for each trajectory.
Methods: Gastric cancer survivors (n = 403) were recruited before surgery, their baseline assessment (including post-traumatic growth and related characteristics) was completed, and post-traumatic growth levels were followed up on the day they left the intensive care unit, at discharge, and 1 month after discharge.
