The goal of the current study was to examine conflict appraisals and diurnal cortisol production as mediators of the robust association between marital conflict and adolescent adjustment problems. Parents reported their marital conflict and were observed engaging in a marital conflict discussion; they also reported adolescent internalizing and externalizing behaviors. Adolescents (n = 105, 52% female, 10-17 years of age) appraised their parents' marital conflict and reported their internalizing and externalizing behaviors. After the laboratory visit, adolescents provided four saliva samples on each of 2 consecutive days to assess diurnal cortisol production. More-negative marital conflict predicted more self-blame for parental conflict, which in turn predicted less robust decreases in cortisol across the day. Further, this flattened cortisol production pattern mediated the relationship between greater self-blame for parental conflict and adolescents' elevated internalizing behaviors. Feeling responsible for parental conflict appears to be particularly damaging in terms of physiological regulation and adjustment, and may therefore be a particularly useful intervention target.

The intraprostatic inflammatory infiltrate is characterized by Th1 CD4 T cells, and its molecular mechanism is not well defined. This study explored the mechanisms responsible for the alteration of Th1/Th17 differentiation of CD4 T cells in chronic non-bacterial prostatitis (CNP). CNP rats were induced by the administration of testosterone and 17β-estradiol.

CesA proteins response to arsenic stress in rice involves structural and regulatory mechanisms, highlighting the role of BES1/BZR1 transcript levels under arsenate exposure and significant downregulation of BZR1 protein expression. Plants interact with several hazardous metalloids during their life cycle through root and soil connection. One such metalloid, is arsenic and its perilous impact on rice cultivation is a well-known threat.

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant public health issue affecting many women worldwide. While extensive research exists on IPV during pregnancy and postpartum, there is limited information on IPV against mothers during the critical child-rearing stage, specifically the first three years following childbirth. This study examines the prevalence and patterns of IPV among mothers in China during this stage, identifying associated factors across four family subsystems: individual, husband-and-wife, mother-child, and family context, to guide the development of tailored prevention strategies.
