AI Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the Chinese version of the Clinical Assessment Interview for Negative Symptoms (CAINS) by examining its reliability and validity among 68 patients with schizophrenia.
- The results indicated a two-factor structure similar to the original CAINS, categorized as "expression" and "motivation-pleasure," but noted slight cultural differences in understanding these concepts within Chinese culture.
- Overall, the Chinese CAINS is deemed a reliable and valid tool for assessing negative symptoms in patients diagnosed with schizophrenia in China.
Article Abstract
The present study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Clinical Assessment Interview for Negative Symptoms (CAINS). We recruited 68 patients with schizophrenia from the Chinese setting. The findings showed a generally consistent two-factor structure with the original version, namely "expression" and "motivation-pleasure." There is a minor cultural variation in perceiving these items in the Chinese culture. However, the present study demonstrated that the Chinese version of the CAINS appears to be a valid and reliable clinical tool for the assessment of negative symptoms in the Chinese setting.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in hospitalized older patients, associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. Major adverse kidney events within 30 days (MAKE30), a composite of death, new renal replacement therapy, or persistent renal dysfunction, has been recommended as a patient-centered endpoint for clinical trials involving AKI.
Objective: This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning-based model to predict MAKE30 in hospitalized older patients with AKI.

Angiogenesis describes the sprouting of blood vessels from existing vasculatures and it plays a pivotal role in disease progress such as diabetes, age-related macular degeneration and cancer. However, the most widely used anti-angiogenic agents targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway still lacked of specificity and therapeutic efficacy. To establish a method suitable for high-throughput drug screening and faithfully recapitulate the feature of in vivo angiogenesis, we generated a PECAM1-mRuby3-secNluc; ACTA2-EGFP dual reporter human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) line and utilizing the cell line to establish a visualized and quantifiable in vitro angiogenesis model with stem cell-derived vascular organoid.

Background: Game-based Cognitive Assessment - 3-Minute Version (G3) is a WeChat mini-program developed for the early screening of cognitive impairments in Chinese older adults. It consists of three game-like digital cognitive tests, namely "Number Ordering", "Species Sorting", and "Gold Finding". This study aims to assess the sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy of G3 in detecting mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early-stage dementia in Chinese older adults.

Background: The Test of Practical Judgement (TOP-J) in its 9-item (TOPJ9) and 15-item (TOPJ15) versions (Rabin et el., 2007), validated for assessing practical judgement, encompasses day-to-day scenarios in medical, financial, safety, and social/ethical domains. This study seeks to evaluate its utility in distinguishing cognitively unimpaired (CU) individuals from those with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) within a Southeast Asian population.

Background: Approximately 70% of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is underdiagnosed worldwide. We aimed to develop and validate a COPD self-evaluation questionnaire (COPD-EQ) that is better suited for COPD screening in China.
Methods: We developed a primary version of COPD-EQ based on the Delphi method.
