Article Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Basic Empathy Scale (BES). The Chinese version of BES was administered to a sample (n = 1,524) aged 9-18 and 65 males with conduct disorder aged 13-18. The result of confirmatory factor analysis showed a two-factor structure with four items deleted to be the most adequate model (cognitive empathy, affective empathy). Empathy was positively correlated with a measure of prosocial behaviour and a measure of emotional problems. Boys with conduct disorder scored significantly lower than matched participants on cognitive empathy. Moreover, in line with previous researches, girls were found to score significantly higher on empathy than boys and the scores on both cognitive and affective empathy increased with age. The Chinese revision exhibited satisfactory internal consistency and moderate test-retest reliability.

More basic, social cognition is the complicated ability to interact with others. Known to impact everyday functioning and quality of life, deficits in this essential ability have been well documented in schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorders, depression, and other mental health conditions.

Introduction: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a chronic neuropathic pain disorder characterized by spontaneous or triggered electric shock-like facial pain. Microvascular decompression (MVD) is the most effective surgical intervention for classical TN that is refractory to medication. Recent advances in neuroimaging have enhanced visualization of the trigeminal nerve's vascular anatomy, deepening insights into TN pathophysiology and paving the way for improved diagnostics and therapies.
