Fighting against the epidemic is an arduous and prolonged battle where many artists hope to inspire people with the power of art through cultural creativity. To explore the effects of emotional design factors on the communication of audio-visual art and the audience's perceptive experience, this research takes the original anti-epidemic song and the film as the research object. The research also uses such methods as questionnaires, Structural Equation Models, and dependent samples -tests to conduct statistical analysis.

Although early life stress (ELS) can increase susceptibility to adulthood psychiatric disorders and produce a greater inflammatory response in a stressful event, targeted preventive and therapeutic drugs still remain scarce. Ganoderma lucidum triterpenoids (GLTs) can exert anti-inflammatory effects in the periphery and central nervous systems. This study employed a combined model of "childhood maternal separation + adulthood sub-stress" to explore whether GLTs may alleviate anxiety- and depression-like behaviors in male and female mice by mitigating inflammation.

Grid-connected inverters (GCIs) have been extensively adopted in distributed renewable energy systems. However, due to the asymmetrical gate-driving signals, imparities of the power semiconductors, and unbalanced grid voltage, etc., the grid current contains DC components which are detrimental to the grid.

Background: Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is a major lipid carrier that supports lipid transport and injury repair in the brain. The APOE ε4 allele is associated with depression, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia; however, the precise molecular mechanism through which ApoE4 influences the risk of disease development remains unknown. To address this gap in knowledge, we investigated the potential effects of chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) on ApoE3 and ApoE4 target replacement (ApoE3-TR and ApoE4-TR) mice.
