How positive emotions affect entrepreneurial intention of college students: A moderated mediation model.

Entrepreneurial intention (EI) is a crucial requirement for encouraging significant entrepreneurial activity, which is essential for economic growth and social stability. Cultivating college students' EI is a critical element of higher education. Based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), this study constructs a moderated mediation model, aiming to explore the intricate processes and conditioning elements that influence the EI of college students and investigate the mediating role of future time perspective (FTP) between positive emotion (PE) and entrepreneurial intention (EI) among Chinese college students, as well as the moderating role of gender.

Liver-specific inactivation of Cideb improves metabolic profiles and ameliorates steatohepatitis and fibrosis in animal models for MASH.

Germline mutations of CIDEB, a lipid droplets (LDs)-associated protein, confer protection against various liver diseases in humans. It remains to be determined whether liver-specific inhibition of CIDEB will bring clinical benefits. We aim to establish pharmacological proof of concept by testing GalNAc-conjugated Cideb surrogate siRNAs in respective animal models of obesity and MASH and to develop siRNA drug candidates for clinical investigations.

A single mutation at position 214 of influenza B hemagglutinin enhances cross-neutralization.

High variability of influenza B virus (IBV) hemagglutinin (HA) impairs the cross- neutralization ability of vaccines, leading to reduce efficacy. We identified significant differences in cross-neutralization between IBV strains B/Wyoming/06/2014 and B/Brisbane/60/2008, which differ in only three amino acid residues. The 214 T point mutation was found to dramatically enhance cross-neutralization (>10-fold).

ExerGeneDB: A physical exercise-regulated differential gene expression database.

Background: Exercise induces molecular changes that involve multiple organs and tissues. Moreover, these changes are modulated by various exercise parameters-such as intensity, frequency, mode, and duration-as well as by clinical features like gender, age, and body mass index (BMI), each eliciting distinct biological effects. To assist exercise researchers in understanding these changes from a comprehensive perspective that includes multiple organs, diverse exercise regimens, and a range of clinical features, we developed Exercise Regulated Genes Database (ExerGeneDB), a database of exercise-regulated differential genes.

METTL3-Mediated m6A Modification of ISG15 mRNA Regulates Doxorubicin-Induced Endothelial Cell Apoptosis.

N6-adenosine methylation (m6A) of RNA is involved in the regulation of various diseases. However, its role in chemotherapy-related vascular endothelial injury has not yet been elucidated. We found that methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) expression was significantly reduced during doxorubicin (DOX)-induced apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells both in vivo and in vitro, and that silencing of METTL3 further intensified this process.

Effect of COVID-19 infection on thyroid function status and clinical indexes among hypothyroid outpatients.

To investigate the impact of COVID-19 infection among hypothyroid patients, we gathered data on the hypothyroid outpatients with COVID-19 infection during this time at the Thyroid Disease Center (TDC) of Shanghai Central Hospital. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether their hypothyroidism was caused by Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (HT): the HT and the non-HT group.

Manipulation and Theoretical Modeling of the Luminescence Performance of Silver Clusters in LTA Zeolites by Adjusting Extra-framework Cations.

Luminescent silver clusters that are confined inside porous zeolites have attracted great research interest due to the combined advantages of high quantum yield, tunable emission, excellent chemical stability, and desirable adoption ability of this micronano-composite. In this research, a series of Ag-exchanged R-LTA/Ag (R = Li, Na, K) zeolites were synthesized, in which the silver clusters showed blue-shifted excitation in the UV region, red-shifted emission in the visible region, and decreased emission intensity when taking Li, Na, and K as the extra-framework cations, respectively. The [Ag(HO)R-sod] ( = 2, 4; R = Li, Na, K) structures were constructed, and the TD-DFT method was further carried out to study the influence of extra-framework cations on the luminescence performance of [Ag] clusters, in which the substitution of Al for Si and the reasonable hydrate levels were both taken into consideration.

tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs): establishing their dominance in the regulation of human cancer.

The main function of transfer RNAs (tRNAs) is to carry amino acids into the ribosome and synthesize proteins under the guidance of messenger RNAs (mRNAs). In addition to this, it has been observed that tRNAs undergo precise cleavage at specific loci, giving rise to an extensive array of distinct small RNAs, termed tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs). Existing studies have shown that tsRNAs are widely present across various organisms and comprehensively regulate gene expression, aberrant expression of tsRNAs is inextricably linked to tumorigenesis and development, thus, a systematic understanding of tsRNAs is necessary.
