The Psychoeducational Profile 3rd Edition (PEP-3) is a comprehensive assessment tool designed for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Although its original English version has been validated, few validation studies have been conducted on translated versions including Chinese ones. Based on 554 Chinese children with ASD and 311 typically developing Chinese children as the control group, this study investigated the psychometric properties of a simplified Chinese PEP-3 (sCPEP-3) in China mainland. Psychometric evaluation of the sCPEP-3 showed satisfactory internal consistency, test-retest reliability, inter-rater reliability, convergent validity, construct validity, and factorial validity. The findings have several implications such as utilizing the sCPEP-3 in mainland China for customized educational program planning, early identification, and evaluating the treatment effects for children with ASD.

Background: Traditional DNA microinjection methods used in mammals are difficult to apply to avian species due to their unique reproductive characteristics. Genetic manipulation in chickens, particularly involving immature follicles within living ovaries, has not been extensively explored. This study seeks to establish an efficient method for generating transgenic chickens through ovarian injection, potentially bypassing the challenges associated with primordial germ cell (PGC) manipulation and fertilized egg microinjection.

Background: Depression, as a common mental illness, is harmful and burdensome. As a country with a large elderly population, China has a heavy burden of depression going in the future. The study aims to portray the current situation of depression occurrence in middle-aged and elderly people in China and capture the risk triggers, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the improvement of the mental health status of middle-aged and elderly people, and the development of depression prevention, control and intervention strategies.

Countercurrent chromatography (CCC) is an efficient technique for purifying bioactive natural compounds, but selecting the solvent system can be a time-consuming and crucial process for successful separation. This paper discussed the HPLC-assisted mathematical prediction method for the n-hexane/alcohol solvents/water (HAWat) and ethyl acetate/n-butanol/water (EBuWat) systems and designed an intelligent online selection system to simplify the separation process. First, the applicable rage of HAWat and EBuWat solvent systems were quantified by the methanol concentration at the column inlet when template molecules peak in a HPLC analysis (B%).

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of intimate partner violence among women with breast cancer and/or cervical cancer in China and to explore its psychosocial associated factors.
Methods: From July to September 2023, we firstly conducted reliability and validity tests using the simplified Chinese version of the Women Abuse Screening Tool in 150 women with breast and/or cervical cancer. We then used a questionnaire comprising the Chinese version of the Women Abuse Screening Tool, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, European Organization for Research and Treatment Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30, and Experiences in Close Relationships Inventory Scale in 401 women with breast and/or cervical cancer.

The great variety of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles among tuberculosis (TB) patients necessitates a comprehensive detection method. This study developed culture-independent, long amplicon-based targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS) methods for predicting AMR across 16 drugs within the complex (MTBC). Multiplex PCR amplification was employed to enrich 20 gene regions, with sequencing performed on either the Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) or Illumina platforms.
