Information-Sharing Behavior on WeChat Moments: The Role of Anonymity, Familiarity, and Intrinsic Motivation.

Information-sharing behavior is affected by identity recognition perception. The current study aims to delve into the impact of familiarity and anonymity on information-sharing behavior, and the mediating role of intrinsic motivations on WeChat Moments. We hypothesized a mediator role of intrinsic motivations in the relationship between an individual's perceptions and information sharing.

[Changes and mechanisms of terrestroside B and terrestrosin K in stir-frying Tribuli Fructus].

The contents of terrestroside B and terrestrosin K in Tribuli Fructus with different degree of stir-frying were determined by high performance liquid chromatography with evaporative light-scattering detector( HPLC-ELSD). The results showed that the contents of terrestroside B and terrestrosin K were increased at first and then decreased,and both of them had the highest content at the best time of heating. The results of simulated processing of Tribulus Terrestris saponins showed that when the processing time kept constant,the contents of terrestroside B and terrestrosin K were decreased gradually with the increase of processing temperature from 180 ℃ to240 ℃.

Cucurbit[7]uril-anchored polymer vesicles enhance photosensitization in the nucleus.

Effective photosensitizers (PSs) are highly desirable in many applications, such as photodynamic therapy and catalytic chemistry. Here, we demonstrated that vesicles of cucurbit[7]uril (Q[7] or CB[7])-anchored polymers enhanced photosensitization in the nucleus. The polyacrylic acid chain spacer triggered Q[7] polymers on the surfaces of the vesicles at a regular distance, thus not only leading to efficient inhibition of the aggregation induced self-quenching of the porphyrin based cationic PS in aqueous solution but also maintaining the PS at high concentration on the nanoscale via stable host-guest interactions.

Regional Citrate Anticoagulation for Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy - A Safe and Effective Low-Dose Protocol.

Aims: Regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) is the preferred mode of anticoagulation for continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Conventional RCA-CRRT citrate dose ranges from 3 to 5 mmol/L of blood. This study explored the effectiveness of an RCA protocol with lower citrate dose and its impact on citrate-related complications.

SRSF3-Regulated RNA Alternative Splicing Promotes Glioblastoma Tumorigenicity by Affecting Multiple Cellular Processes.

Misregulated alternative RNA splicing (AS) contributes to the tumorigenesis and progression of human cancers, including glioblastoma (GBM). Here, we showed that a major splicing factor, serine and arginine rich splicing factor 3 (SRSF3), was frequently upregulated in clinical glioma specimens and that elevated SRSF3 was associated with tumor progression and a poor prognosis for patients with glioma. In patient-derived glioma stem-like cells (GSC), SRSF3 expression promoted cell proliferation, self-renewal, and tumorigenesis.

Predictors of loss to follow-up among children on long-term antiretroviral therapy in Zambia (2003-2015).

Background: Retention in care is critical for children living with HIV taking antiretroviral therapy (ART). Loss to follow-up (LTFU) is high in HIV treatment programs in resource limited settings. We estimated the cumulative incidence of LTFU and identified associated risk factors among children on ART at Livingstone Central Hospital (LCH), Zambia.

Facile Fabrication of Au Nanoparticles/Tin Oxide/Reduced Graphene Oxide Ternary Nanocomposite and Its High-Performance SF Decomposition Components Sensing.

A high-performance sensor for detecting SF decomposition components (HS and SOF) was fabricated via hydrothermal method using Au nanoparticles/tin oxide/reduced graphene oxide (AuNPs-SnO-reduced graphene oxide [rGO]) hybrid nanomaterials. The sensor has gas-sensing properties that responded and recovered rapidly at a relatively low operating temperature. The structure and micromorphology of the prepared materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET).

Global downregulation of pigmentation-associated genes in human premature hair graying.

Premature hair graying, or canities, is a complex multi-factorial process with negative effects on affected individuals. The aim of the present study was to investigate the possible underlying mechanisms of premature hair graying at the genetic level. A total of 5 unrelated Han Chinese individuals presenting with premature hair graying (25-40 years old, with >1% hair affected) were enrolled in the present study.

Particulate matter mitigation via plants: Understanding complex relationships with leaf traits.

Elevated levels of airborne particulate matter (PM) pose health risks to populations living in many cities worldwide. To remediate the impact of air pollution, urban greening has been increasingly explored as a possible way to remove PM from the surroundings. However, existing research focuses mainly on species-specific assessments within temperate climates that may not necessarily grow outside of their local regions.

Intensive insulin therapy versus plasmapheresis in the management of hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis (Bi-TPAI trial): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Background: It is widely agreed that triglyceride (TG)-lowering therapy is imperative in early hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP). Intravenous insulin with or without heparin, and plasmapheresis are available regimens. However, there is no consensus on first-line therapy.

Effect of oxygen on power frequency breakdown voltage and decomposition characteristics of the CFO/N/O gas mixture.

Sulfur hexafluoride (SF) is widely used in the power industry because of its excellent insulation and arc extinguishing performance; however, as the global environment is deteriorating, the need to replace SF is becoming significantly critical. In recent years, CFO has received extensive attention as a potential alternative to SF. In this study, a part of N in CFO/N was replaced by O, and the breakdown voltages of CFO/N/O at different oxygen concentrations under a slightly uneven electric field were tested.

A Constrained Coding-Aware Routing Scheme in Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks.

In wireless multi-hop networks, instead of using the traditional store-and-forward method, the relay nodes can exploit the network coding idea to encode and transmit the packets in the distributed coding-aware routing (DCAR) mechanisms, which can decrease the transmission number and achieve higher throughput. However, depending on the primary coding conditions of DCAR, the DCAR-type schemes may not only detect more coding opportunities, but also lead to an imbalanced distribution of the network load. Especially, they are not energy efficient in more complex scenarios, such as wireless ad-hoc networks.

Electric field driven multi-state magnetization switching in triangular nanomagnets on piezoelectric substrate.

Electric field control of magnetic state switching mediated by magneto-elastic coupling in multiferroic heterostructures consisting of shape anisotropic magnetostrictive nanomagnets elastically coupled with a piezoelectric substrate has a promising potential for next generation magneto-elastic memory and logic devices. In this work, by using micromagnetic simulation, we showed that localized strain-induced magnetic anisotropy caused by the electric field-induced piezostrain combined with strong multifold shape anisotropy effect can be used for achieving a multistate switching of magnetization in a triangular soft magnetic nano-island on a piezoelectric substrate. A piezostrain-induced uniaxial magnetic anisotropy pulse applied in specific directions switches the magnetization within the triangular nanomagnet by an angle of 60° from the initial state.

Trends in insecticide resistance in Culex pipiens pallens over 20 years in Shandong, China.
