Population mobility : spatial spillover effect of government health expenditure in China.

Background: Since the 20th century, pursuing Universal Health Coverage (UHC) has emerged as an important developmental objective in numerous countries and across the global health community. With the intricate ramifications of population mobility (PM), the government faces a mounting imperative to judiciously deploy health expenditure to realise UHC effectively.

Objective: This study aimed to construct a comprehensive UHC index for China, assess the spatial effects of Government Health Expenditure (GHE) on UHC, and explore the moderating effects of PM on this association.

Lack of Interaction Motivation in Older Adults Automatically Reduces Cognitive Empathy.

Empathy, the ability to understand and respond to the experiences of others, is an important skill for maintaining good relationships throughout one's life. Previous research indicated that emotional empathy remained stable or even increased in older adults compared to younger adults, while cognitive empathy showed age-related deficits. Based on the selective engagement hypothesis, this deficit was not caused by a decline in cognitive functioning, but by a lack of willingness to judge the target person's emotions more precisely, that is, by a lack of interaction motivation.

Processing objects of perceptual expertise: Differential interhemispheric transmission efficiency but similar transmission direction advantages.

Faces and Chinese characters are both objects of perceptual expertise. In this study, we investigated the characteristics of interhemispheric transmission times (IHTTs) in both transmission direction and transmission efficiency during the processing of objects of perceptual expertise. A total of 112 participants engaged in a divided visual field paradigm for faces, Chinese characters, and houses in both upright and inverted orientations.

The Relationship Between Teacher-Student Relationship and Adolescent Emotional Intelligence: A Chain-Mediated Mediation Model of Openness and Empathy.

Background: As the role of emotional intelligence has been increasingly explored, researchers generally agree that emotional intelligence is a better predictor of individual success. And fortunately, emotional intelligence is somewhat easily shaped. Schools are important microsites for the shaping of an individual's emotional intelligence.

The relationship between empathy and school adjustment of left-behind children: The mediating role of coping styles.

To investigate the effects of left-behind children's empathy and coping styles on school adjustment, 605 left-behind children in the third grade from three rural elementary schools in Suzhou, Anhui Province were selected to complete the Chinese version of the Interpersonal Reaction Index Scale, the Coping Style Scale, and the School Adjustment Behavior Scale for Primary and Secondary School Students. The results showed that (1) emotional empathy positively predicted children's social competence, and negatively predicted children's antisocial behavior; cognitive empathy positively predicted children's social competence; (2) the role of positive coping styles mediated the relationship between cognitive empathy and social competence, and that between cognitive empathy and antisocial behavior; negative coping styles mediated the relationship between cognitive empathy and antisocial behavior; both positive and negative coping styles mediated the relationship between emotional empathy and social competence, and that between emotional empathy and antisocial behavior. The findings of the study are valuable for understanding the relationship between empathy and school adjustment, which also helps to enhance the school adjustment of left-behind children.

Deficiency of heat shock factor 4 promotes lens epithelial cell senescence through upregulating p21 expression.

Genetic mutations in heat shock factor 4 (Hsf4) is associated with both congenital and age-related cataracts. Hsf4 regulates lens development through its ability to both activate and inhibit transcription. Previous studies suggested Hsf4 is involved in modulating cellular senescence depending on p21 and p27 expression in MEF cells.

Can unconscious sequential integration of semantic information occur when the prime Chinese characters are displayed from left to right?

Recent studies have investigated whether conscious awareness is necessary for semantic integration. Although results have varied, simultaneous presentation of words have consistently led to greater semantic integration than sequential presentation in a single location. The current studies were designed to investigate whether the disadvantage of sequential presentation for unconscious semantic integration is specific to unfamiliar word-by-word presentation in one location or extends to the more natural reading conditions of viewing items sequentially from left to right.

The Semantic Integration Between Two Subliminally Perceived Words Simultaneously Presented at Different Locations.

In the present study, we showed evidence of an integration between two unconscious semantic representations. In experiment 1, two masked Chinese words of the same or different categories ("orange apple" or "grape hammer") were simultaneously presented in the prime, followed by two Chinese words also of same or different categories in the target. We examined possible prime/target visual feature priming, semantic category priming and motor response priming effects.

Netrin-1 Promotes Inflammation Resolution to Achieve Endothelialization of Small-Diameter Tissue Engineering Blood Vessels by Improving Endothelial Progenitor Cells Function In Situ.

The transplant of small-diameter tissue engineering blood vessels (small-diameter TEBVs) (<6 mm) in vascular replacement therapy often fails because of early onset thrombosis and long-standing chronic inflammation. The specific inflammation state involved in small-diameter TEBVs transplants remains unclear, and whether promoting inflammation resolution would be useful for small-diameter TEBVs therapy need study. The neural protuberant orientation factor 1 (Netrin-1) is found present in endothelial cells of natural blood vessels and has anti-inflammatory effects.

A novel frameshift mutation in CX46 associated with hereditary dominant cataracts in a Chinese family.

Aim: To investigate the genetic mutations that are associated the hereditary autosomal dominant cataract in a Chinese family.

Methods: A Chinese family consisting of 20 cataract patients (including 9 male and 11 female) and 2 unaffected individuals from 5 generations were diagnosed to be a typical autosomal dominant cataract pedigree. Genomic DNA samples were extracted from the peripheral blood cells of the participants in this pedigree.

Heat shock factor 4 regulates lens epithelial cell homeostasis by working with lysosome and anti-apoptosis pathways.

Activation of Heat shock factor 4-mediated heat shock response is closely associated with postnatal lens development. HSF4 controls the expression of small heat shock proteins (e.g.
