Background And Aims: The inclusion of gaming disorder as a new diagnosis in the 11th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) has caused ongoing debate. This review aimed to summarise the potential neural mechanisms of gaming disorder and provide additional evidence for this debate.
Methods: We conducted a comprehensive literature review of gaming disorder, focusing on studies that investigated its clinical characteristics and neurobiological mechanisms.
Exploring new photoexcited phosphors has attracted attention for improving the performance of white LEDs. Here, an NaBaAlBOCl:Eu phosphor with high color purity (94.11%) has been synthesized.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFA one-pot hydrothermal reaction was proposed to synthesize Cu-doped BiOCO. Doping Cu with smaller electronegativity than that of Bi and electrochemical reconstruction on BiOCO optimize the hybridization between Bi 6p of BiOCO and O 2p of *OCHO, acquiring FE of ∼100% at a current density of >100 mA cm over a wide pH range.

However, understanding of neutralization by antibodies targeting the silent face, which recognize epitopes on glycan shields, remains limited, and their potential protective efficacy in vivo is not well understood. This study describes a silent face neutralizing antibody, 3711, which targets a non-supersite on the N-terminal domain (NTD) of the spike protein.

Diabetes is a metabolic disease in which tissues and organs are exposed to a hyperglycemic environment for a prolonged period. Long-term hyperglycemia can cause dysfunction of multiple organs and tissues in the body, leading to diabetic complications such as diabetic cardiomyopathy and diabetic nephropathy. Diabetes and its complications have become one of the key issues that seriously threaten the health of people worldwide.

However, the spatiotemporal patterns and driving mechanisms of crop productivity remain unclear. Here, we analyze the spatiotemporal evolution of Chinese crop productivity using long-term satellite observation data.

This potential migration was investigated with the immigrants' strontium radiogenic isotope ratio Sr/Sr and backward flight trajectories from Japanese trapping sites. The results showed that the Sr/Sr ratios of Chinese reared were significantly higher than those of reared insects of Japanese immigration areas.

This study aimed to investigate the removal efficiency and possible cross-coupling effect of 1,2,3,4-tetrachlorodibenzo--dioxin (1,2,3,4-TCDD) and six coexisting low-molecular-weight PAHs during photodegradation on the fly ash surface. Due to their higher photoreactivity and light-shielding effect, the six PAHs exhibited inhibitory effects on the photodegradation of 1,2,3,4-TCDD, causing a reduction of 4.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the main campus and several branch campuses of Jinan Stomatological Hospital, and community locations within Jinan city between October 2023, and January 2024.
Oxidative stress (OS) is believed to be a significant factor in the decline of semen quality, with mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNAcn) serving as a sensitive biomarker for both semen quality and mitochondrial dysfunction resulting from oxidative stress. While glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are commonly known as 'antioxidant' enzymes, there is ongoing debate regarding the relationship between GST genotypes and semen quality. In a study involving 568 male volunteers from the outpatient department of Puyang Reproductive Medicine Center, sperm mtDNAcn, semen quality, and GSTM1/GSTT1 genotypes were analyzed to investigate the potential link between GSTM1/GSTT1 gene variations and semen quality, as well as the impact of GSTs gene variations on the connection between sperm mtDNAcn and semen quality.

This study aims to investigate the efficacy of the endoscopic transoral approach for the visualization and resection of such tumors. Through transoral endoscopic cadaveric dissections and surgical procedures, we examined the anatomical structures of the parapharyngeal space and the deep lobe of the parotid gland, identifying key anatomical landmarks.

Objectives: This phase I study aimed to establish the pharmacokinetic equivalence between LY01015 and the original investigational nivolumab (Opdivo) in healthy Chinese male subjects.
The widespread environmental contamination resulting from the misuse of tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) has garnered significant attention and study by scholars. Photocatalytic technology is one of the environmentally friendly advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) that can effectively solve the problem of residue of TCs in the water environment. This study involved the synthesis of the heterogeneous magnetic photocatalytic material of CoFeO/NaBiO via the solvothermal method, and it was characterized using different characterization techniques.

As a novel alternative to BPA, 4-hydroxy-4'-isopropoxydiphenylsulfone (BPSIP) is frequently detected in breast milk and placental barrier systems, suggesting potential transmission from the mother to offspring and increased risk of exposure. Gestation and lactation are critical periods for central nervous system development, which are vulnerable to certain environmental pollutants.
