Previous studies have shown that attention can be captured by task-irrelevant distractors under the guidance of attentional control settings. However, it is unknown whether people can establish an attentional control setting (ACS) for a sequence of distinct events. The present study tested that question by asking observers to expect a sequence of two colored targets in a specific order. The results show that irrelevant distractors that matched either the color of the first expected target or that of the second target captured attention. Thus observers are unable to temporarily suppress the color of the future target in their ACS. However, the temporal order of targets is still useful for guiding attention: Observers were able to abandon the color of the first target and maintain an ACS for the second one as long as there was a sufficient time interval between the two targets.

High-Humidity Care May Prevent the Development of Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Premature Infants.
Circ J
March 2025
Department of Pediatrics, Yokohama City University.
Background: Recently, the role of a rapid increase in serum osmolality in the inhibition of postnatal ductal closure has garnered attention. This study evaluated the efficacy of high-humidity care in preventing the onset of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in extremely premature infants.
Methods And Results: The high-humidity group (HHG) comprised 28 infants (24to 27weeks gestational age) recruited prospectively within 6 h after birth between July 2019 and September 2021; these infants were cared for in 90% humidity for the first 72 h of life.

Objective: To identify different work engagement profiles among new nurses in China and explore demographic and personal factors that predict different work engagement profiles.
Design: A cross-sectional study.
Methods: From 1 April to 30 June 2022, a cross-sectional survey was conducted in 11 tertiary hospitals across five provinces in China.
A Mannosylated peptidyl lipid CManDA doped into cytidinyl/cationic lipids efficiently delivers siG12Ss to lung cancer in vivo.

State Key Laboratory of Natural and Biomimetic Drugs, School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Peking University, Beijing 100191, China; Genable (Beijing) Biotechnology Co., Ltd, (#)38 Yongda Road, Beijing 102609, China. Electronic address:
Gene therapy has attracted widespread attention in recent years, and one of the important delivery systems is the LNP. However, many LNPs have potential toxicity and accumulate in the liver. Here, we designed and synthesized a Gemini-type mannosylated peptidyl lipid called CManDA(M), which, in combination with the cytidinyl lipid DNCA(D) and the peptidyl lipid CLD(C) (D/50C/50 M), could transfect siRNA (siG12S) into A549 cells to target and silence the KRAS gene.

Department of Psychiatry, McLean Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Belmont, United States. Electronic address:
Background: P3a event-related potential (ERP) is considered a potential biomarker for schizophrenia (SZ), can be elicited through both passive two-stimulus and active three-stimulus auditory oddball paradigms. While both types of P3a reflect involuntary attention shifts, the nuanced understanding of what P3a represents in different contexts is important and rarely studied. This study aims to examine correlations between P3a ERPs elicited from different paradigms and associations of each P3a with cognitive function, clinical symptoms, and antipsychotic medication.

Extracellular proteases of bacteria have attracted attention in recent years. Alkaline protease AprA secreted from Pseudomonas fragi has been shown to cause spoilage in chilled meat and to degrade myofibrillar proteins (MPs), but the spoilage mechanism was unknown. AprA possessed a high affinity for substrate proteins (K = 1.
