Role of consumer ethnocentrism on purchase intention toward foreign products: Evidence from data of Vietnamese consumers with Chinese products.

This study aims to determine the influence of consumer ethnocentrism and general country image on Vietnamese consumers' perception of product origin and purchase intention toward Chinese goods. The research model is developed based on consumer ethnocentrism and country image perception theory. Analysis results by structural equation modeling from 448 consumers in three regions (North, Central, South) showed that consumer ethnocentrism harms the country's image perception and purchase intention of Vietnamese consumers toward Chinese imported products.

Anti-multiple myeloma potential of resynthesized belinostat derivatives: an experimental study on cytotoxic activity, drug combination, and docking studies.

Multiple myeloma is a deadly cancer that is a complex and multifactorial disease. In the present study, 12 belinostat derivatives (four resynthesized and eight new), HDAC inhibitors, were resynthesized either Knoevenagel condensation, or Wittig reaction, or Heck reaction. Then an evaluation of the antiproliferative activities against myeloma cells MOPC-315 was carried out.
