Background: Physical activity has been shown to be effective in treating and improving anxiety in college students. However, no studies have been conducted to examine the relationship between physical activity and anxiety in college students through mediating factors such as dietary nutrition and lifestyle habits. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the mediating role of lifestyle and dietary nutrition in the relationship between physical activity and anxiety.

Endometrial cancer is one of the predominant tumors of the female reproductive system. In this current study, we investigated the functions and related mechanisms of nucleosome assembly protein 1 like 1 (NAP1L1)/ DEAD-box helicase 5 (DDX5) in endometrial cancer. This retrospective study analyzed the medical records of patients with endometrial cancer, collected tissue samples for NAP1L1 and DDX5 staining, and conducted survival analysis using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Background: Post-COVID-19 syndrome still occurs in some populations. A healthy lifestyle is widely recognized as a first-line treatment to increase the body's antiviral resistance and tissue repair, but it is unclear whether a healthy lifestyle can promote or alleviate the symptoms of post-COVID-19 syndrome.

Methods: A stratified random sampling method was used to select 498 participants from three universities in Fujian as the target of the questionnaire survey.

Currently, two-dimensional (2D) materials with intrinsic antiferromagnetism have stimulated research interest due to their insensitivity to external magnetic fields and absence of stray fields. Here, we predict a family of stable transition metal (TM) borides, TMB (TM = V, Cr, Mn, Fe) monolayers, by combining TM atoms and B icosahedra based on first-principles calculations. Our results show that the four TMB monolayers have stable antiferromagnetic (AFM) ground states with large magnetic anisotropic energy.

This paper is dedicated to investigating the exponential cluster synchronization in a class of nonlinearly coupled complex networks with non-identical nodes and an asymmetrical coupling matrix. A novel aperiodically intermittent pinning control (APIPC) protocol is presented, which takes full account of the cluster-tree topology structure of the networks and pins only the nodes in the current cluster that have directional links to neighboring clusters. Since it is difficult to precisely determine the intermittent control instants and rest instants of APIPC in advance, the event-triggered mechanism (ETM) is thus proposed.

Exploring two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnetic materials with a high transition temperature and large magnetic anisotropy is extremely essential for highly efficient spintronic applications. With the density functional theory method, we predicted planar hypercoordinate transition-metal borides, TMB (TM = Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe; B = boron), by the condensation of TM@B and B units. The results showed that these transition-metal borides possess superior thermal, dynamic and mechanical stabilities.

In the present paper, the time evolution study on slip soils treated by different proportions of ionic soil stabilizer (ISS) water solution was conducted by the LIBS system and the relationship between the cation exchange and such engineering properties of reinforcing soil as plasticity index, cohesive force and coefficient of compressibility were analyzed. The results showed that the cation exchange velocity of the proportion of 1:200 ISS reinforcing soil is the fastest among the three proportions (1:100, 1:200 and 1:300) and the modification effect of engineering performance index is quite obvious. These studies provide an experimental basis for the ISS applied to curing project, and monitoring geotechnical engineering performance by LIBS technology also provides a new way of thinking for the curing project monitoring.

The plant hormone auxin plays a vital role in regulating many aspects of plant growth and development. Small auxin up-regulated RNAs (SAURs) are primary auxin response genes hypothesized to be involved in auxin signaling pathway, but their functions remain unclear. Here, a genome-wide search for SAUR gene homologues in Solanaceae species identified 99 and 134 members of SAUR gene family from tomato and potato, respectively.

The aim of this study was to investigate the connection between heat-induced ethylene signal changes and enhanced disease resistance. Heat enhanced ripening and elevated MaACO1 expression in naturally ripened bananas (NRB), while it delayed ripening and reduced MaACO1expression in the ethephon-treated bananas (ETB). However, in both cases, heat reduced lesion sizes infected by Colletotrichum musae.
