To investigate the effect of positive psychological capital on the health-promoting lifestyle of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and the intermediary effects of life satisfaction and learned helplessness. A total of 482 patients who completed the pulmonary rehabilitation course at the Nantong Sixth People's Hospital of Jiangsu Province were surveyed using a self-designed questionnaire battery, encompassing the positive psychological capital, health-promoting lifestyle, life satisfaction, and learned helplessness scales. A total of 469 of the 482 questionnaires distributed were effectively returned, leading to an effective response rate of 97.

Magnetic spherules originate from anthropogenic and natural sources and can be differentiated based on morphology and composition. Using magnetic measurement, diameter measurement, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) analysis of a 10 m sediment core in the mud area of the South Yellow Sea, we found that magnetic spherules occur at all observed depths of the core. The magnetic spherule concentrations vary from 10 spherules/0.

Atmospheric trace metal pollution is a striking environmental problem globally. Because of the limitations in monitoring data, our knowledge of the historical processes and sources of atmospheric trace metal pollution in China and its influence on remote terrestrial environmental quality is limited. The historical variations in atmospheric trace metal (Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, and Zn) pollution during the past 400 years in the Fanjing Mountain area, northern Guizhou Province were studied by analyzing the metal concentrations and Pb isotopes in lake sediments.

Milk fat is the major energy component of milk, and regulation of its production relies on transcription factors sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBP1) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ). As one of the target genes of SREBP1 and PPARγ, fatty acid-binding protein 3(FABP3) is the main protein allowing for rapid diffusion and selective targeting of long-chain fatty acids toward specific organelles for metabolism. Whether FABP3 plays an important role in milk fat synthesis signaling pathway is largely unknown.
