Background: Qi Li Qiang Xin (QLQX) capsule has a solid theoretical basis and clinical efficacy in the treatment of chronic heart failure; however, the underlying mechanisms remain obscure. This study was designed to determine the effect of the QLQX on the treatment of heart failure and delineate the underlying mechanisms via a nontargeted metabolomics and lipidomics approach.
Methods: A rat model of heart failure after myocardial infarction (MI) was established via permanent ligation of the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery.
Article Synopsis
- Silicon-based optical neural networks, like the photonic convolutional neural network (PCNN), promise high-performance computing but face scalability challenges due to limited energy and space.
- The performance of the PCNN significantly declines if the weight mapping accuracy drops below 4.3 bits, according to numerical simulations.
- By employing kernel pruning, which allows for the removal of 93.75% of convolutional kernels, the PCNN maintains accuracy on the MNIST dataset while saving approximately 202.3 mW of energy for each removed kernel, offering a scalable solution for efficient optical neural networks.
The lack of a standardized reliable and valid instrument makes it difficult to measure attitudes toward lesbian women and gay men (ATLG) consistently and thus poses a challenge to compare and contrast intervention measures. This study aimed to validate Herek's ATLG scale among undergraduates in mainland China and identify factors associated with negative attitudes toward LG. A total of 6,036 eligible undergraduates conveniently drawn from 30 provinces across mainland China were randomly split in half.

This study aimed to investigate the extent of and factors associated with the discordance between perceived risk and actual risky sexual behaviors among undergraduates in mainland China, guided by the Anderson's behavioral model.
Methods: This study involved a secondary analysis of cross-sectional data collected during the fall semester of 2018-2019 academic year.
Background: HIV counseling and testing (HCT) is provided free of charge on college campuses, but very few studies have examined whether HCT uptake is equitably distributed. This cross-sectional study aimed to compare the relative importance of various determinants of HCT uptake among undergraduates in mainland China so as to assess and subsequently to suggest ways to eliminate inequities in its use, guided by the Andersen's behavioral model.
Methods: A total of 10,665 eligible undergraduates were conveniently selected to complete an online survey.
Background: This cross-sectional study aims to validate the Chinese version of Zelaya's HIV-related Stigma Scale (CVZHSS) among a large undergraduate sample in mainland China, and apply it to measure the level of different dimensions of stigma and their respective determinants.
Methods: From September 10, 2018, to January 9, 2019, a total of 10,665 eligible undergraduates conveniently drawn from 30 provinces in mainland China (except for Tibet) completed the self-designed online questionnaire distributed via sojump.com voluntarily, anonymously and confidentially.
