Crossing Gender Boundaries: Exploring the Chain-Mediated Causal Role of Social Media Sharing in Shaping Interpersonal Networks and Enhancing Job Satisfaction.

The theoretical relationship between social media use and job satisfaction, especially concerning gender-specific mechanisms, remains a subject of ongoing debate in the literature. This divergence reflects our insufficient understanding of the complex relationships among gender, social media use, and job satisfaction. Drawing on Social Role Theory (SRT) and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), this study utilizes 4651 valid samples from the 2020 China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) database to investigate how gender influences interpersonal relationships through social media sharing frequency, thereby enhancing job satisfaction.

Objective: To explore the effects of donor sperm on reproductive quality of life, sleep quality and erectile function in patients with severe oligoasthenospermia after the failure of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), and to provide targeted reference for intervention.

Methods: From January 2021 to December 2023, patients with severe oligoasthenospermia who received assisted pregnancy treatment in Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University were selected as the study objects. Among them, 82 cases using sperm donor assisted pregnancy after ICSI failure were set as the observation group, and 82 cases using propensity score 1:1 matching ICSI failure after ICSI assisted pregnancy were set as the control group.

Colorectal cancer in Lynch syndrome families: consequences of gene germline mutations and the gut microbiota.

Background: Lynch syndrome (LS)-associated colorectal cancer (CRC) always ascribes to pathogenic germline mutations in mismatch repair (MMR) genes. However, the penetrance of CRC varies among those with the same MMR gene mutation. Thus, we hypothesized that the gut microbiota is also involved in CRC development in LS families.

Background And Objective: Gastric cancer (GC) remains a significant global health challenge, characterized by high incidence and mortality rates, particularly in East Asia. A comprehensive understanding of the disease burden of gastric cancer is crucial for developing effective prevention and treatment strategies. However, comprehensive global assessments of the disease burden of gastric cancer remain limited.

Pore-Scale Study of Fluid Displacement in Parallel-Layered Porous Media and Implications of Associated Distinct Flow Dynamics.

Fluid displacement within layered porous media is more complex than in nonlayered ones. Most of the previous studies placed a focus on the porous media with layerings perpendicular to the flow direction, and the effects of pore topology were often ignored. Therefore, this study aims to reveal the flow physics in porous media with layering parallel to the flow direction by accounting for the specific pore topology.

Novel 4-alkoxy Meriolin Congeners Potently Induce Apoptosis in Leukemia and Lymphoma Cells.

(3-(pyrimidin-4-yl)-7-azaindoles) are synthetic hybrids of the naturally occurring alkaloids and and display a strong cytotoxic potential. We have recently shown that the novel derivative is highly cytotoxic in several lymphoma and leukemia cell lines as well as in primary patient-derived lymphoma and leukemia cells and predominantly targets cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). Here, we efficiently synthesized nine novel 2-aminopyridyl congeners (-), i.

Cytokinin Plays a Multifaceted Role in Ralstonia solanacearum-Triggered Plant Disease Development.

Cytokinin signalling plays both positive and negative roles in plant resistance to pathogens. It is not clear whether the role of cytokinin changes at the different stages of pathogen infection. Arabidopsis thaliana sequentially exhibits distinct root morphological symptoms during Ralstonia solanacearum infection, which offers a good system to investigate function of cytokinin in the whole pathogen infection process.

The effect of integrated medical care on the daily life of patients with coronary heart disease.

This study aims to explore the impact of comprehensive medical care on the daily life of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and to evaluate its effectiveness in improving quality of life, alleviating symptoms, and reducing the risk of cardiac events. A new comprehensive medical care scheme combining Traditional Chinese Medicine nursing differentiation, collaborative nursing interventions, and specialized community care was proposed. Patients with CHD were recruited as study subjects.

Aptasensor based on entropy-driven catalytic amplification system for the sensitive detection of acetamiprid in Chinese herbal medicine.

The traditional method of acetamiprid residue detection is difficult to operate, time-consuming, laborious and requires high professional knowledge of the detection personnel, which cannot meet the requirement of on-field rapid detection. For this reason, a colorimetric aptasensor based on an entropy-catalyzed amplification system was developed for the ultrasensitive and selective determination of acetamiprid. In the absence of acetamiprid, the aptamer and cDNA form a double-stranded structure.

Ginsenoside Rb3 Promotes Opa1-Mediated Regenerative Neurogenesis via Activating the Ido1 Pathway in Ischemic Stroke.

The activation of neural stem cells (NSCs) residing in the subventricular zone (SVZ) and dentate gyrus (DG) has been shown to promote the restoration of damaged brain tissues. Ginsenoside Rb3 (Rb3) is a bioactive substance known for its pharmacological properties in treating neurological disorders. This study investigated the effects of Rb3 on neural regeneration following ischaemic stroke (IS) and the underlying mechanisms involved.

Gut Microbiota and Tryptophan Metabolism in Pathogenesis of Ischemic Stroke: A Potential Role for Food Homologous Plants.

Scope: The intestinal flora is involved in the maintenance of human health and the development of diseases, and is closely related to the brain. As an essential amino acid, tryptophan (TRP) participates in a variety of physiological functions in the body and affects the growth and health of the human body. TRP catabolites produced by the gut microbiota are important signaling molecules for microbial communities and host-microbe interactions, and play an important role in maintaining health and disease pathogenesis.
