Introduction: The present study investigated the relationship between screen use and social-emotional problems in preschoolers aged 46 to 72 months from migrant families.

Methods: The parents of 427 children completed the Ages and Stages Questionnaire: Social Emotional II (ASQ: SE II) and the survey on screen use at two time points (T1 and T2) with one-year interval.

Results: There were no significant changes in preschoolers' social-emotional problems and screen use over one year.

Accurate species delimitation and identification is crucial for species conservation, providing a foundation for studies on evolutionary biology, ecology, and essentially all biological disciplines. The subfamily Cricetinae (Cricetidae, Rodentia), known as hamsters, is widely distributed in the Palearctic region. At present, there are nine genera and 18 species of hamsters are recognized worldwide, although the taxonomic status of certain taxa remains unclear.

Background: Previous research has primarily examined the mental well-being of children from labor migrant families, yet there is a lack of understanding regarding the mental well-being of children from highly educated migrant backgrounds. This study investigated the social-emotional problems of 3-5-year-olds from highly educated migrant families residing in an urban area of China, as well as explored potential differences in demographic variables.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Qiantang District, Hangzhou, China, with 1,494 (53.

Objective: To establish an ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS/MS) method for simultaneous determination of 11 nutritional components(thiamine, riboflavin, nicotinamide, nicotinic acid, pantothenic acid, pyridoxine, pyridoxal, pyridoxamine, biotin, choline, L-carnitine) in liquid milk.

Methods: Milk samples were shaken with 20 mmol/L ammonium formate solution and heated in a water bath at 100 ℃ for 30 min, then incubated with papain and acid phosphatase at 45 ℃ for 16 h, the lower liquid was collected after centrifugation for analysis. UPLC separation was performed on an ACQUITY~(TM) HSS T3(3.

Furan represents one of the dietary-sourced persistent organic pollutants and thermal processing contaminants. Given its widespread occurrence in food and various toxicological effects, accurately assessing furan exposure is essential for informing public health risks. Furan is metabolized to a reactive primary product, cis-2-butene-1,4-dial (BDA) upon absorption.

Background: Parents' parenting beliefs have a major influence on their children's eating and sleeping problems and emotional socialization. However, the relationship between parent's concerns about eating or sleeping problems and social-emotional development is unclear.

Methods: We used a convenience sampling method to investigate 997 parents of preschool children aged 3 to 6 in Hangzhou, China, and asked them to complete the "Ages & Stages Questionnaire: Social-Emotional (2nd Edition)" (ASQ: SE-2) and the Survey of Concerns about Children's Eating and Sleeping Problems.

The climbing mouse is a rare, small mammal listed as an endangered species on the China species red list. Molecular phylogenetic analyses and the evolutionary history of the genus remain unexplored because of the extreme difficulty in capturing individuals and their narrow distribution. Here, we collected 44 specimens, sequenced one mitochondrial and eight nuclear genes, and integrated morphological approaches to estimate phylogenetic relationships, delimit species boundaries, and explore evolutionary history.

Deep-learning-assisted medical diagnosis has brought revolutionary innovations to medicine. Breast cancer is a great threat to women's health, and deep-learning-assisted diagnosis of breast cancer pathology images can save manpower and improve diagnostic accuracy. However, researchers have found that deep learning systems based on natural images are vulnerable to attacks that can lead to errors in recognition and classification, raising security concerns about deep systems based on medical images.

Perceiving facial expressions is an essential ability for infants. Although previous studies indicated that infants could perceive emotion from expressive facial movements, the developmental change of this ability remains largely unknown. To exclusively examine infants' processing of facial movements, we used point-light displays (PLDs) to present emotionally expressive facial movements.

Plastic water-supply pipes and filter element are frequently used in municipal water supply systems. Leaching of phthalate esters (PAEs) from these pipes and filter elements to drinking water has become a common concern among the public. In this study, the migrations of 16 phthalate esters (PAEs) in seven different kinds of water-supply product materials were investigated.

The systematics of the Cricetid genus Neodon have long been fraught with uncertainty due to sampling issues and a lack of comprehensive datasets. To gain better insights into the phylogeny and evolution of Neodon, we systematically sampled Neodon across the Hengduan and Himalayan Mountains, which cover most of its range in China. Analyses of skulls, teeth, and bacular structures revealed 15 distinct patterns corresponding to 15 species of Neodon.

Objectives: Competency-based public communication skills are not systematically taught in most medical curricula, reflecting a gap between medical knowledge and holistic patient care as trainees transition into clinicians. We sought to investigate the efficacy of technology, entertainment, and design (TED) talks in postgraduate year (PGY) training programs.

Methods: The authors organized an official internal TEDx event in which six PGY trainees volunteered as speakers.

The elegant water shrew, , is one of the small mammal species most adapted to a semi-aquatic lifestyle. The taxonomy of the genus has received little attention due to difficulties in specimen collection. In this study, we sequenced one mitochondrial and eight nuclear genes to infer the phylogenetic relationship of .

The Hengduan Mountains (HDM) of China are a biodiversity hotspot whose temperate flora and fauna are among the world's richest. However, the origin and evolution of biodiversity in the HDM remain poorly understood, especially in mammals. Given that the HDM shows the highest richness of vole species in the world, we used whole-exome capture sequencing data from the currently most comprehensive sampling of HDM voles to investigate their evolutionary history and diversification patterns.

During a small mammal survey in Wanglang National Natural Reserve, Sichuan, China in AugustOctober 2018, we collected four specimens of an Asiatic striped squirrel (genus Tamiops) that could not be assigned morphologically to any described species. Phylogenetic analyses of CYTB and nuDNA sequences strongly supported them in the genus Tamiops. The p-distances of CYTB between these individuals and other species of Tamiops ranged from 17.

Chromatography combined with mass spectrometry is the most commonly used detection technology, and it offers the advantages of high sensitivity and high selectivity. However, the contents of bisphenols (BPs) in water samples are at the ng/L level. Even if the BPs contents are determined by mass spectrometry, the samples must be pretreated and enriched.
