The influence of community park characteristics on satisfaction in Guangzhou: Moderating and mediating effects analysis.

Community parks in old urban areas have problems such as outdated facilities and low quality, which inhibit the development of healthy aging. However, limited research has examined the correlation between such park characteristics and park satisfaction among elderly individuals. Additionally, the mechanisms underlying this association remain unclear.

Cross-link between ferroptosis and nasopharyngeal carcinoma: New approach to radiotherapy sensitization.

Ferroptosis is a recently discovered special type of regulated cell death that is strongly associated with both homeostasis maintenance and cancer development. Previous studies have indicated that a number of small-molecular agents inducing ferroptosis have great potential in the treatment of different types of cancer, including breast, pancreatic, prostate and head and neck cancer. However, the role of ferroptosis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) has remained to be fully determined.

Evaluation of models for household recycling behaviour in high-rise buildings: A Chinese case study in urban Guangzhou.

Recycling strategies and waste management for the source separation of recyclables are still in their infancy in China and many other developing countries. Unlike formal recycling systems with strictly regulated management in high-income countries, waste management and recycling activities in low-income and middle-income countries are predominantly informal. Formal recycling systems often have very small amounts of recyclables in comparison to informal recycling systems.

Delayed diagnosis of prosopagnosia following a hemorrhagic stroke in an elderly man: A case report.

Background: Acquired prosopagnosia is a rare condition characterized by the loss of familiarity with previously known faces and the inability to recognize new ones. It usually occurs after the onset of brain lesions such as in a stroke. The initial identification of prosopagnosia generally relies on a patient's self-report, which can be challenging if it lacks an associated chief complaint.

[Inspirations of Rome Ⅳ on clinical evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine for functional gastrointestinal disease].

The Rome Foundation released the Rome Ⅳ for functional gastrointestinal diseases (FGIDs) in 2016, which fully presented the latest advances and views on the disease origin, definition, diagnosis, classification, pathology, mechanism, clinical features, influential factors, interventions, clinical evaluation, clinical research design and so on, showing high positive effects on global researches. Traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) have cognitive advantages and well-recognized and-demonstrated efficacy in the prevention and treatment for FGIDs. However, the monotonous presentation ways and weak interpretation on clinical evaluation have also hindered the inherent advantages explanation, characteristics quantization, evidence and communication accumulation.

Challenges in food waste recycling in high-rise buildings and public design for sustainability: A case in Hong Kong.

In recent decades, various studies on policy, management, behaviour, norms and economic incentives related to food waste issues have been conducted. Many of the studies are from a quantitative perspective which has given a wider but general coverage of study and analysis on the matters. However, the impacts of context, such as living environments and social culture, on recycling activities from a qualitative as well as in-depth perspective have seldom been discussed, especially in densely populated communities.

Numerical study of initial perturbation effects on Richtmyer-Meshkov instability in nonuniform flows.

The effects of an initial perturbation on Richtmyer-Meshkov instability are numerically studied by simulating the process of incident shock (Ma=1.27) impacting different groups of initial multimode cosine interfaces formed by different amplitudes in initially nonuniform flows whose density is a Gaussian function. The numerical results indicate that the evolution of the interface with a large initial amplitude in a low-density nonuniform area grows fastest, while that with a small initial amplitude in a high-density nonuniform area grows slowly.

[Effects of zinc- and iron deficiency on physiological indices, mineral contents, and leaf ultrastructure of Poncirus trifoliata].

By using hydroponics, this paper studied the physiological responses of trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata) seedlings to the deficiency of zinc (0 micromol x L(-1) Zn2+) and/or iron (0 micromol x L(-1) Fe-EDTA). The deficiency of both Zn and Fe decreased the plant biomass and root viability, and increased the leaf-and root SOD activity significantly. Zinc deficiency increased the leaf-and root POD significantly, while Fe deficiency had an adverse effect.
