Incorporating Multimodal Directional Interpersonal Synchrony into Empathetic Response Generation.

This study investigates how interpersonal (speaker-partner) synchrony contributes to empathetic response generation in communication scenarios. To perform this investigation, we propose a model that incorporates multimodal directional (positive and negative) interpersonal synchrony, operationalized using the cosine similarity measure, into empathetic response generation. We evaluate how incorporating specific synchrony affects the generated responses at the language and empathy levels.

Silver Microdisc Array Electrode Chip for Urea Detection in Saliva Samples from Patients with Chronic Nephritis.

Urea is an important biomarker for diagnosing various kidney and liver disorders. However, many existing methods rely on invasive blood sampling, which can potentially harm patients. Saliva has been recently recognized as a noninvasive and easily collectible alternative to blood for urea quantification.

Short- and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic versus open abdominoperineal resection for rectal cancer: A propensity score matching analysis based on 1852 cases.

Background: Randomized studies have demonstrated that laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection is not inferior to open abdominoperineal resection for rectal cancer.

Aims: Evaluate the immediate and extended results of laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection versus open abdominoperineal resection for rectal cancer.

Methods: From January 2006 to December 2017, a total of 1852 patients with rectal cancer who had undergone abdominoperineal resection were enrolled in this investigation.

Sirtuin 2 exacerbates renal tubule injury and inflammation in diabetic mice via deacetylation of c-Jun/c-Fos.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a serious complication of diabetes, and inflammation plays a crucial role. Sirtuin 2 (SIRT2), a NAD+-dependent deacetylase, which is involved in the regulation of cell metabolism, proliferation and longevity through deacetylation. Our previous research showed a positive correlation between urinary SIRT2 levels and renal injury markers in DN patients.

The incidence, mortality, and survival rate of colorectal cancer in Xiamen, China, from 2011 to 2020.

Introduction: Currently, nearly one-third of newly diagnosed Colorectal cancer (CRC) cases and associated deaths worldwide are from China. Among Chinese provinces, Fujian exhibited the highest CRC mortality rate. This study aims to analyze long-term trends of CRC epidemiology in Xiamen, Fujian, China.
