Article Abstract
Previous studies have shown that competitive video gaming is associated with aggression; however, little is known about the relationship between personal competitive factors and aggression. Thus, we used structural equation modeling to examine the association between competitive game motivation and trait aggression, as well as the potential mediating roles of avatar identification and game aggression, among 1584 (59.66% male; M = 14.58 years, SD = 1.49, range = 12-19) Chinese adolescent players of Glory of the King. The results showed that the direct effect of competitive game motivation on trait aggression was statistically significant, as were the indirect effects of competitive motivation-via both avatar identification and game aggression-on the three indicators of aggressive behavioral tendencies in everyday life. These results support the General Aggression Model, suggesting that competitive motivation is a personal factor predicting trait aggression. It contributes to our understanding of the roles of competition in video gamers' real-life aggressive behavior from an individual perspective.

Reduced harm aversion relates to antisocial behaviors and orbitofrontal atrophy in dementia patients.
Alzheimers Dement
September 2025
Department of Neurology, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee, USA.
Introduction: Antisocial behaviors occur in dementia, but the underlying neurocognitive mechanisms remain underexplored. We administered a decision-making task measuring patients' harm aversion by offering options to shock themselves or another person in exchange for money, hypothesizing that task performance would relate to antisocial behaviors and ventromedial/orbitofrontal cortex (vmPFC/OFC) atrophy.
Methods: Among 43 dementia patients (n = 23 behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia [bvFTD], n = 20 Alzheimer's disease [AD]), we used linear regressions to measure relationships between harm aversion and antisocial behavior, psychopathic personality traits, socioemotional functions, and vmPFC/OFC cortical thickness, controlling for age, sex, and cognitive dysfunction.
Immune Characteristics of eQTL and Gene Risk Model and the Inhibitory Effect of DCTD and RRAS on Ferroptosis in Glioblastoma.
Front Biosci (Landmark Ed)
August 2025
Department of Neurology, The First Affiliated Hospital, Fujian Medical University, 350005 Fuzhou, Fujian, China.
Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is an extremely aggressive brain tumor, marked by restricted therapeutic possibilities and a generally unfavorable prognosis. GBM's complexity and heterogeneity necessitate comprehensive genetic and immunological profiling to enhance therapeutic strategies.
Methods: The study integrated The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Integrative Epidemiology Unit Open Genome-Wide Association Studies (IEU OpenGWAS) data to identify genetic factors influencing GBM using expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) and genome-wide association studies (GWAS).

Epithelial cells are tightly connected to one another by intercellular junctions which prevent much of their motility, and have distinct apical-basal cell polarity, with their basal pole facing the basement membrane; they form mono- or multilayered sheet-like structures, and establish the borders of tissues and organs. In contrast, mesenchymal cells fill the spaces delimitated by other tissues, do not form stable contacts with other cells, are embedded within the extracellular matrix with which their entire surface interacts, and have definite locomotory capabilities. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) occurs when an epithelium loses its distinguishing characteristics, and acquires mesenchymal traits.

Front Vet Sci
August 2025
Department of Animal and Food Sciences, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX, United States.
Introduction: Handling techniques are known to influence dog stress in veterinary settings; however, little is known about the current handling techniques applied to dogs during routine veterinary care or risk factors associated with their use. This cross-sectional survey aimed to assess common handling techniques used on calm, fearful, and aggressive dogs by veterinary professionals in Canada and the United States and identify risk factors for minimal and full-body restraint.
Methods: A convenience sample of veterinary professionals completed an online questionnaire.
Implicit and explicit self-concepts of forgiveness in women with borderline personality disorder.
Borderline Personal Disord Emot Dysregul
September 2025
Independent Researcher, Berlin, Germany.
Background: The tendency to forgive is associated with traits such as agreeableness and neuroticism, mental well-being, and interpersonal functioning. Given documented associations with interpersonal conflict and aggression in borderline personality disorder (BPD), forgiveness (or, lack thereof) may be particularly relevant for BPD symptomatology but remains understudied. This study examines forgiveness in BPD compared to a heterogeneous clinical control group without personality disorder (CC), exploring its associations with aggression and interpersonal dysfunction using both direct (self-reported) and indirect (implicit) measures.
