Article Abstract
Intimate partner violence (IPV) literature has addressed differential socialization for designing interventions, mainly helping female victims and male perpetrators. From a gender-specific perspective, this study examines the abused men's postponed decisions to disclose victimization or seek help. Through individual interviews, 10 Chinese male IPV survivors in Hong Kong described their help-seeking journey. A three-pillar approach is applied to guide the analysis in terms of psychological factors, cultural barriers, and decisional challenges when men are seeking help. Results reveal negative influences bearing on male survivors' help-seeking behaviors and support how men can rebuild positive personal strengths after experiencing the impact of abuse on oneself and the family. Service providers must identify barriers of delayed help-seeking decisions and treat IPV survivors with respect and acceptance to facilitate abuse disclosure.

The cerambycid beetles are important components in the terrestrial ecosystem as they play a dual role in both degrading dying trees and killing healthy plants. The factors including human activity, habitat contraction, climate changes and pesticide use have been shaping the adaptation of beetles to host plants and the environment. As suggested in research on the functions of beetles' olfactory proteins, odorant binding proteins (OBPs) have been found to be involved in insecticide resistance other than chemoreception.

Background: During intense exercise, anaerobic metabolism predominantly produces energy in the body, resulting in lactic acid (LA) accumulation, which contributes to muscle fatigue and soreness and may also impair neurological and cardiovascular functions. In endurance sports, the lactate threshold (LT) is a key indicator of an athlete's capacity to clear and utilize LA, directly influencing athletic performance and endurance. Therefore, LA detection is crucial for assessing the physical condition of both athletes and the general population, as well as for optimizing training programs.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an increasing global health problem, resulting in gradual loss of renal function and irreversible renal injury. The noninvasive detection, monitoring, and timely intervention of CKD might benefit the patients' prognosis. This study aims to assess renal functional injury in CKD patients by using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM).

Di-(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate (DEHP) is a persistent environmental endocrine toxicant present in many products, and liver is the main target organ for DEHP metabolism. Long-term exposure to DEHP induces hepatic fibrosis, which is reversible in the early stages, while progresses to cirrhosis without timely intervention. Ductular reaction (DR) is a characteristic pathological change in hepatobiliary diseases, however, the involvement of DR in DEHP-caused hepatic fibrosis, the underlying molecular mechanisms, remail largely uninvestigated.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: YangXue QingNao Wan (YXQN) is a compound Chinese medicine comprising of 11 traditional Chinese medicinal herbs, including Angelica sinensis, Ligusticum chuanxiong, and Paeonia lactiflora, etc. Previous studies in our laboratory have demonstrated that YXQN improved cerebral microcirculation in hypertensive rats. However, its efficacy and underlying mechanisms in treating vascular dementia (VaD) remain unclear.
