A normative database of Swahili-Chinese paired associates.

Over the past few decades, Swahili-English and Lithuanian-English word pair databases have been extensively utilized in research on learning and memory. However, these normative databases are specifically designed for generating study stimuli in learning and memory research involving native (or fluent) English speakers. Consequently, they are not suitable for investigations that encompass populations whose first language is not English, such as Chinese individuals.

Association Between Cognitive Frailty and Depression: A Prospective Cohort Study of Adults Aged 45 Years and Older in China.

Background: The interplay between cognitive frailty and depression remains inadequately understood, with a paucity of evidence from prospective cohort studies. Our study aims to elucidate the relationship between cognitive frailty and the risk of incident depression.

Methods: Utilizing data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) spanning 2011, 2013, and 2015, subjects were classified according to cognitive frailty criteria established by an international consensus panel.

[Analysis of Genes Related to Platelet Activation in Essential Thrombocythemia Based on Transcriptomics].

Objective: To analyze the genes related to platelet activation in essential thrombocythemia (ET) based on transcriptome sequencing technology (RNA-seq), and to explore the potential targets related to ET thrombosis.

Methods: Blood samples from ET patients and healthy individuals were collected for RNA-seq, and differentially expressed lncRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs were selected to construct a lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network. Differential mRNAs in the regulatory network were enriched and analyzed using Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG).
