Rehabilomics is an important research framework that allows omics research built upon rehabilitation practice, especially in function evaluation, outcome prediction, and individualized rehabilitation. In the field of rehabilomics, biomarkers can serve as objectively measured indicators for body functioning, so as to complement the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) assessment. Studies on traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, and Parkinson's disease have shown that biomarkers (such as serum markers, MRI, and digital signals derived from sensors) are correlated with diagnosis, disease severity, and prognosis.

It is well established that the e4 allele of the APOE gene is associated with impaired brain functionality and cognitive decline in humans at elder age. However, it is controversial whether and how the APOE e4 allele is associated with superior brain function among young healthy individuals, thus indicates a case of antagonistic pleiotropy of APOE e4 allele. Signal complexity is a critical aspect of brain activity that has been associated with brain function.

Introduction: Family factors, such as parental mediation on Internet use and parent-child relationships, have been shown to play a crucial role in preventing adolescents' internet addiction. Previous studies have shown a change in characteristics of online risk during adolescents' development. However, it is still of great interest whether such differences applied in the relationships among parent-child relationships, different types of parental mediation and adolescents' internet addiction level.

Ancient Chinese poetry and prose (ACPP) are the essence of traditional Chinese culture and also literary gems of the world. Despite the long tradition of previous Chinese Presidents using ACPP in their political addresses, the translation work on the three volumes of with much ACPP still poses a daunting challenge to the translation of literary texts in non-literary texts. As experiential meaning is inherent in all kinds of texts, literature, and non-literature, this study, drawing on the sights of Halliday's experiential mode of meaning and register theory in Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), explored how the ACPP's experiential meaning was rendered in the political texts, and factors motivating transitivity patterns and shift tendencies.

During the epidemic, online teaching became the mainstream. Online teaching evaluation aims to systematically test teachers' teaching process according to certain teaching objectives and standards, and evaluate its value, advantages and disadvantages, so as to improve the quality of teaching. It is not only an important part of the teaching process, but also the basis of all effective and successful teaching.

Micro-expression is a kind of facial action that reflects the real emotional state of a person, and has high objectivity in emotion detection. Therefore, micro-expression recognition has become one of the research hotspots in the field of computer vision in recent years. Research with neural networks with convolutional structure is still one of the main methods of recognition.

Chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) is a common chronically digestive disease which is notoriously characterized by atrophy of the epithelium and glands of the gastric mucosa, reduced number, thinning of the gastric mucosa, thickening of the mucosal base, or pyloric glandular hyperplasia and intestinal glandular hyperplasia, or with atypical hyperplasia. Banxia Xiexin decoction (BXD) has been applied for two thousand years and is considered an effective therapy for functional dyspepsia, gastroesophageal reflux disease and colon cancer. In this current study, to probe into the underlying mechanism of BXD on CAG, network pharmacology was conducted to collect druggable ingredients and predicted targets of BXD and the CAG-associated targets were harvested to take intersection with druggable ingredients from BXD predicted targets to obtain potential critical action targets.

Background: Reducing the rate and impact of problematic smartphone use (PSU) among deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) students has become a social issue. Research has suggested that perceived discrimination is associated with PSU, although the underlying mechanism of this association for DHH students is not clear.

Aims: This study explored the mediating roles of sense of security and social avoidance in the association between perceived discrimination and PSU among Chinese DHH students.

As a key auditory attribute of sounds, pitch is ubiquitous in our everyday listening experience involving language, music and environmental sounds. Given its critical role in auditory processing related to communication, numerous studies have investigated pitch processing in autism spectrum disorder. However, the findings have been mixed, reporting either enhanced, typical or impaired performance among autistic individuals.

As opposed to macro-expressions, micro-expressions are subtle and not easily detectable emotional expressions, often containing rich information about mental activities. The practical recognition of micro-expressions is essential in interrogation and healthcare. Neural networks are currently one of the most common approaches to micro-expression recognition.

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is considered the leading cause of people living with years of disability worldwide. Notably, thunder-fire moxibustion (TFM) is a new type of moxibustion, which has been widely applied to treat pain syndromes for thousands of years. This study aims to provide evidence to evaluate the effect and safety of TFM in treating LBP.

An important sign of the accessibility of Braille information is the realization of the mutual translation between Chinese and the Braille. Due to the irregularity and uncertainty of the Prevailing Mandarin Braille, coupled with the lack of a large-scale Braille corpus, the quality of Chinese-Braille translation seems to be poor. In July 2018, the National Language Commission released the "Chinese Common Braille Scheme" and advocated replacing the "Prevailing Mandarin Braille.

Objective: To explore the longitudinal association of quantitative infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) signal intensity alteration with OA-related biomarkers.

Methods: Eighteen OA-related biochemical biomarkers of 600 knee OA participants in the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health OA Biomarkers Consortium (FNIH) study were extracted. The quantitative IPFP signal intensity measures were acquired based on magnetic resonance imaging, including mean value [Mean (IPFP)] and standard deviation [sDev (IPFP)] of the whole IPFP signal intensity, median value [Median (H)] and upper quartile value [UQ (H)] of high signal intensity, the ratio of volume of high signal intensity to volume of whole IPFP signal intensity [Percentage (H)] and Clustering factor (H).

As an important imaging modality, mammography is considered to be the global gold standard for early detection of breast cancer. Computer-Aided (CAD) systems have played a crucial role in facilitating quicker diagnostic procedures, which otherwise could take weeks if only radiologists were involved. In some of these CAD systems, breast pectoral segmentation is required for breast region partition from breast pectoral muscle for specific analysis tasks.

Despite abundant research and clinical evidence of the effectiveness of music interventions for people in the autism spectrum, understanding of music processing in this community is limited. We explored whether research evidence of differences in music processing within the autistic community is available. We developed a scoping review to search for literature with the terms "music", "processing," and "autism" (and variants).

The Influence of Trust on Creativity: A Review.

Front Psychol

August 2021

Jiangsu Provincial Key Constructive Laboratory for Big Data of Psychology and Cognitive Science, Yancheng Teachers College, Yancheng, China.

Examining the trust-creativity relationship is important to promote creativity and organizational innovation. The goal of this study is to investigate how trust influences creativity by summarizing existing findings of diverse empirical studies. The impact of trust at different levels on creativity primarily manifests in three ways: (1) individuals' cognition- and affect-based trust has a positive effect on creativity together with the role of trust-derived perspective taking in creativity; (2) interpersonal trust helps enhance the joint creativity of an entire group via mediators such as team communication and commitment together with trust-evoked safety and the motivation to risk proposing, sharing, accepting or adopting uncommon ideas; (3) group trust has a positive, mostly indirect effect on creativity via mediating variables such as collaborative culture/climate and team communication.
