Rural-urban differences in the association between home-based community care services satisfaction and mental health status among older adults in Zhejiang Province, China: a cross-sectional study.

Objective: This study aims to examine the association between home-based community care services (HBCCS) and mental health in older adults and specifically analyzes rural-urban differences in the association.

Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled 852 older adults from Zhejiang Province, China. The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7), University of California Los Angeles 3-item Loneliness Scale (UCLA-3), and the Mental Health (MH) component score of the 36-item Short Form (SF-36) were used to measure self-reported mental health status.

Efficacy of Internet-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Subthreshold Depression Among Older Adults in Institutional Long-Term Care Settings: Pragmatic Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Subthreshold depression (sD) is prevalent in older populations in long-term care (LTC) settings, but psychological therapy in LTC settings in China is not readily available. Thus, internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) may be suitable for this population, but research on the efficacy of ICBT for older adults with sD, especially those living in LTC settings, is limited.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and acceptability of ICBT treatment for sD among LTC residents in China.

Association of anaemia on heart failure and left ventricular function: A bidirectional Mendelian randomization study.

Aims: Observational studies have suggested that anaemia is associated with an increased risk of heart failure (HF). But the potential causal association is not clear. We aimed to investigate the association between anaemia and HF risk.

Practical method for dynamic color holographic display.

A practical method for dynamic color holographic display by using a computer-generated hologram (CGH) with a high space-bandwidth product is proposed, and a dynamic color holographic display system is designed by a space-division method. First, three primary color CGHs of different frames from a color movie are fabricated on holographic recording material by a self-made CGH microfilming system. Secondly, the CGH is fixed on an X-Y moving stage, which is controlled by the system in order to bring the CGH to the appointed position.

Efficacy of an internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy for subthreshold depression among Chinese adults: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Subthreshold depression (sD) negatively impacts well-being and psychosocial function and is more prevalent compared with major depressive disorder (MDD). However, as adults with sD are less likely to seek face-to-face intervention, internet-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (ICBT) may overcome barriers of accessibility to psychotherapy. Although several trials explored the efficacy of ICBT for sD, the results remain inconsistent.

The Role and Research Progress of Inhibitor of Differentiation 1 in Atherosclerosis.

Inhibitor of differentiation 1 has a helix-loop-helix (HLH) structure, belongs to a class of molecules known as the HLH trans-acting factor family, and plays an important role in advancing the cell cycle, promoting cell proliferation and inhibiting cell differentiation. Recent studies have confirmed that inhibitor of differentiation 1 plays an important role in the endothelial-mesenchymal transition of vascular endothelial cells, angiogenesis, reendothelialization after injury, and the formation and rupture of atherosclerotic plaques. An in-depth understanding of the role of inhibitor of differentiation 1 in atherosclerosis will provide new ideas and strategies for the treatment of related diseases.

Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy for psychological distress in older adults without cognitive impairment living in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic: A feasibility study.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a detrimental effect on the mental health of older adults living in nursing homes. Very few studies have examined the effects of Internet-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT) on older adults living in nursing homes during the pandemic. We conducted a feasibility study using a single-group design, to explore the effectiveness of ICBT on psychological distress in 137 older adults (without cognitive impairment) from 8 nursing homes in 4 southeast cities in China, between January and March 2020.

The Needs of Older Adults With Disabilities With Regard to Adaptation to Aging and Home Care: Questionnaire Study.

Background: The home environment is an important means of support in home-based care services for older people. A home environment that facilitates healthy aging can help older adults maximize their self-care abilities and integrate and utilize care resources. However, some home environments fail to meet the needs of older adults with disabilities.

Ultrastable Near-Infrared Nonlinear Organic Chromophore Nanoparticles with Intramolecular Charge Transfer for Dually Photoinduced Tumor Ablation.

Near-infrared (NIR) light-responsive nanoparticles (NPs) of organic photosensitizers (PS) hold great promise as phototherapeutic agents for precision photoinduced cancer therapy. However, highly photostable PS nanoparticles with extraordinary photoconversion capacities are urgently desired to fully realize potent phototherapy. Here, NIR nonlinear organic chromophore nanoparticles (NOC-NPs) are shown as single-component PS for dually cooperative phototherapy.

Mental health status among family members of health care workers in Ningbo, China, during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak: a cross-sectional study.

Background: To date, the psychological impact of COVID-19 epidemic among family members of health care workers (HCWs) in China has been neglected. This cross-sectional study investigates the mental health status and related factors in families of HCWs employed in designated hospitals in Ningbo, China.

Methods: Family members of HCWs in five designated hospitals in Ningbo, China, were recruited in February, 2020 for this study.

Global Handwashing Day 2012: a qualitative content analysis of Chinese social media reaction to a health promotion event.

Background: Global Handwashing Day (GHD) is a handwashing promotion campaign organized by the Global Public-Private Partnership of Handwashing with Soap. In China, it has been promoted by the Chinese public health authorities, international organizations and multinational corporations through various channels including social media such as Sina Weibo, the leading Chinese microblogging site similar to Twitter. The objective of this study is to qualitatively assess Chinese social media users' reactions to a health promotion campaign using Global Handwashing Day (GHD) 2012 as an example.

Chinese Social Media Reaction to Information about 42 Notifiable Infectious Diseases.

This study aimed to identify what information triggered social media users' responses regarding infectious diseases. Chinese microblogs in 2012 regarding 42 infectious diseases were obtained through a keyword search in the Weiboscope database. Qualitative content analysis was performed for the posts pertinent to each keyword of the day of the year with the highest daily count.

Chinese social media reaction to the MERS-CoV and avian influenza A(H7N9) outbreaks.

Background: As internet and social media use have skyrocketed, epidemiologists have begun to use online data such as Google query data and Twitter trends to track the activity levels of influenza and other infectious diseases. In China, Weibo is an extremely popular microblogging site that is equivalent to Twitter. Capitalizing on the wealth of public opinion data contained in posts on Weibo, this study used Weibo as a measure of the Chinese people's reactions to two different outbreaks: the 2012 Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) outbreak, and the 2013 outbreak of human infection of avian influenza A(H7N9) in China.
