The impact of a positive discipline group intervention on parenting self-efficacy among mothers of young children.

Introduction: Instilling healthy behaviors in early childhood is crucial as they can have lifelong impacts. However, many Chinese mothers lack effective parenting strategies, resulting in low self-efficacy. Positive Discipline, a non-punitive and non-indulgent approach, can help enhance maternal parenting self-efficacy and promote healthy lifestyle behaviors in children.

Synthesis of Benzopyrone-Fused Hydrobenzo[,]indoles via Cascade Annulation of -Quinamines and 3-Formylchromones.

A 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU)-catalyzed cascade annulation reaction between -quinamines and 3-formylchromones was developed, affording a series of benzopyrone-fused hydrobenzo[,]indoles in moderate to high yields with excellent diastereoselectivity.

Electrophysiological evidence for the effectiveness of images versus text in warnings.

Warning sign plays an important role in risk avoidance. Many studies have found that images are better warnings than text, while others have revealed flaws of image-only warning signs. To better understand the factors underlying the effectiveness of different types of warning signs (image only, text only, or image and text), this study adopted event-related potential technology to explore the differences at the neurocognitive level using the oddball paradigm and the Go/No-go paradigm.

Interrogating the Construct of PRETCO-Oral: Longitudinal Evidence From Raters and Test-Takers.

In speaking assessment, many factors such as characteristics of test-takers, test tasks, rating bias, etc. may affect the speaking performance of test-takers. Besides, the stability of raters' rating of a speaking test might pose a threat to its reliability, validity, and fairness, which calls for longitudinal construct validation of the speaking test.

Adjunctive Magnetic Seizure Therapy for Schizophrenia: A Systematic Review.

The efficacy and safety of adjunctive magnetic seizure therapy (MST) for patients with schizophrenia are unclear. This systematic review was conducted to examine the efficacy and safety of adjunctive MST for schizophrenia. Chinese (WanFang and Chinese Journal Net) and English (PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and the Cochrane Library) databases were systematically searched.

Semaglutide attenuates excessive exercise-induced myocardial injury through inhibiting oxidative stress and inflammation in rats.

Aims: To investigate the protective effects and mechanism of semaglutide on exercise-induced myocardial injury.

Main Methods: Effects of semaglutide on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced oxidative stress injuries and inflammatory response were assessed in H9c2 cell via MTT assay and Western blot. Quiet control group, over training group and three doses of semaglutide treated overtraining groups were subjected to the swimming training with increasing load for consecutive 10 weeks.
