Introduction: Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is a prevalent psychiatric condition characterized by an intense fear of and avoidance of social situations. Traditional assessment methods for SAD primarily rely on subjective self-report questionnaires and clinical interviews, which can be prone to biases and inaccuracies. This study aims to explore the functional excitation-inhibition (fEI) ratio derived from EEG data as a potential objective biomarker for assessing SAD severity.

Constructing satisfied small-diameter vascular graft (diameter less than 6 mm) remains an unsolvable challenge in vascular tissue engineering. This study described the fabrication of electrospun polyurethane/polycaprolactone (PU/PCL) membranes chemically grafted with various densities of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) - an antithrombotic fatty acid - for making small-diameter blood vessel. Differences in mechanical, antithrombotic properties and biocompatibility of the membranes resulting from the CLA-grafting procedure were the focus of the study.

Two new furo-1,2-naphthoquinones, crataequinones A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the fruits of Crataegus pinnatifida. The structures of two new compounds were determined as 11,12-dimethoxy-3,4-furo-1,2-naphthoquinone (1) and 11,12-dimethoxy-5-hydroxy-3,4-furo-1,2-naphthoquinone (2) by spectroscopic analysis. The two compounds 1 and 2 showed significant inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 33 and 90 microM, respectively, against the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1).
