This work aimed to clarify the potential regulating effects of Qufeng Xuanfei formula (QFXF) on airway neurogenic inflammation and its underlying target signal pathway. Guinea pig model of airway hyperergy (AHR) was used. The relative susceptibility of major proteins to airway neurogenic inflammation was assessed using Western blot immunoassay followed by being separated by SDS-PAGE.

Article Synopsis
  • - Chronic cough is a widespread issue, often caused by increased cough sensitivity, which currently lacks effective clinical diagnosis and treatment methods.
  • - Capsaicin raises cough sensitivity by boosting the protein TRPV1 and promoting neurogenic inflammation through substances like Substance P, while sinomenine from traditional Chinese medicine can reduce this effect by inhibiting TRPV1 expression.
  • - The study suggests a potential new treatment strategy for chronic cough by targeting the mechanisms involving TRPV1 and SOX5, as sinomenine shows promise in mitigating cough sensitivity effects in guinea pigs.

Evidence supports predictive roles of adult attachment orientations for the maintenance of social networking site (SNS) addiction, but the underlying mechanisms are mostly unknown. Based on attachment theory, this study explored whether online social support and the fear of missing out mediated the relationship between insecure attachment and social networking site addiction among 463 college students in China. A questionnaire was used to collect data using the Experience in Close Relationship Scale-Short Form, online social support scale, fear of missing out scale, and Chinese Social Media Addiction Scale.

While there is substantial evidence that emotion regulation plays a role in the maintenance of substance and behavior addiction, its role in addiction to social networking sites (SNS) remains unclear. Drawing on attachment theory, we explore whether emotion regulation mediates the relationship between insecure attachment and SNS addiction among 463 college students. The participants completed the short version of the Experience in Close Relationships Scale, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, and Chinese Social Media Addiction Scale.
