    Abstract Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted a rapid shift to online teaching, placing unprecedented demands on educators' physical and mental well-being. However, the relationship between English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers' physical activity, emotion regulation, and competence for online teaching remains underexplored.
    Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the interplay between EFL teachers' physical activity, emotion regulation strategies, and competence for online teaching.
    Results: Structural equation modeling revealed significant direct and indirect effects, indicating that physical activity positively influences emotion regulation, which, in turn, enhances teachers' competence for online instruction. Furthermore, emotion regulation was found to mediate the relationship between physical activity and online teaching competence.
    Conclusions: These findings underscore the importance of promoting physical activity among EFL teachers as a means to enhance their emotion regulation skills and competence for online teaching, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Implications: The study highlights the need for targeted interventions aimed at supporting EFL teachers' well-being and professional development, with implications for educational policies, teacher training programs, and institutional support structures in the digital learning landscape.

    Abstract Newly established enterprises in China face significant challenges and opportunities, with persistently high mortality rates. Navigating market challenges and establishing sustainable competitive advantages are pressing issues for contemporary businesses. This study delves into the bridging role of business model innovation between entrepreneurial bricolage and entrepreneurial performance, with market orientation influencing the relationship boundaries. We examined 288 Chinese small and medium-sized enterprises, investigating the relationships among entrepreneurial bricolage, business model innovation, market orientation, and entrepreneurial performance. Empirical results indicate: (1) Entrepreneurial bricolage positively influences business model innovation, and business model innovation positively impacts entrepreneurial performance. (2) Business model innovation plays a fully mediating positive role between entrepreneurial bricolage and entrepreneurial performance. (3) Market orientation positively moderates the impact of entrepreneurial bricolage on business model innovation and entrepreneurial performance, and it also positively moderates the impact of business model innovation on entrepreneurial performance. (4) Market orientation positively moderates the impact of entrepreneurial bricolage, mediated by business model innovation, on entrepreneurial performance. The study results contribute to a more effective understanding of the mechanisms through which entrepreneurial bricolage and business model innovation influence entrepreneurial performance, as well as how market orientation moderates their relationships and how enterprises sustain competitive advantages.

    Abstract Objective:The purpose of this study was to explore the causal relationship between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the risk of erectile dysfunction (ED) by using two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.
    Methods: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were screened as instrumental variables (IVs) using the public genome-wide association study summary data set (GWAS). Univariate MR, bidirectional MR and multivariate MR methods were used to analyze the causal relationship between NAFLD and ED.
    Results: IVW results showed that NAFLD was not associated with ED (OR=0.991 2, 95%CI: 0.955 2-1.0286, P=0.640 6). The results of reverse MR showed that there was no correlation between ED and NAFLD (OR=1.181 5, 95%CI: 0.820 8-1.7007, P=0.369 5). Multivariate MR results showed that there was still no causal relationship between the two diseases after adjusting for confounding factors.
    Conclusion: The results showed that there was no causal relationship between NAFLD and the risk of ED.

    Abstract In this comprehensive study, we sought to unravel the risk factors for recurrence in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), uniquely focusing on patients undergoing mono-antidepressant treatment. By considering psychiatric readmission as a direct indicator of MDD recurrence, we meticulously analyzed the records of 1,456 inpatients from a Chinese mental health center from 2012 to 2020. Our follow-up periods, spanning 90, 180, and 365 days post-discharge, allowed for a nuanced understanding of the recurrence dynamics. We identified four critical risk factors: thyroid function (FT3 and TSH), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels, and region of residence. Notably, the study revealed an increasing risk of readmission associated with decreased FT3 and HDL over time, while elevated TSH and residing in another province 's impact diminished. The antidepressant type did not significantly alter readmission risks, providing a unique perspective on MDD management. This research contributes to the field by offering a deeper understanding of how demographic and biochemical factors influence the likelihood of MDD recurrence, guiding more effective treatment approaches.

    Abstract As a traditional Chinese medicine, rhubarb has been used in a variety of liver diseases and it is widely used in clinic to prevent and treat acute liver injury. Anthraquinone, as the main medicinal component of rhubarb, can reverse the further development of liver fibrosis caused by acute liver injury. In this study, metabonomics was used to explore the mechanism of different doses of rhubarb anthraquinone on acute liver injury in rats. Rhubarb anthraquinone was administered intragastric to rats at doses of 3.9, 7.8 and 15.6 mg/kg, respectively, for 7 days, and then 30% CCl4 was injected intraperitoneally at the dose of 1 ml/kg to replicate the acute liver injury model. The biochemical indicators content of ALT, AST, ALP, γ-GT, TG, TC, LDL, HDL in serum and GSH, Hyp, SOD, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 in liver tissue extract were tested respectively, and liver tissue was histopathologically analysis. At the same time, UPLC-Q-TOF-MS combined with non-targeted metabolomics were used to study the metabolites and metabolic pathways of rhubarb anthraquinone in treating acute liver injury. Compared with normal rats, the contents of ALT, AST, ALP, TG, TC, LDL, γ-GT in serum and Hyp, MDA, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α in the liver tissue extract were significantly increased in model rats (p < 0.05, p < 0.01), and the content of HDL in the serum was significantly decreased (p < 0.05); the activities of GSH and SOD in liver tissue extract were also significantly decreased (p < 0.05). After administration of rhubarb anthraquinone, compared with the model group, with the increase of dosage, some biochemical indexes showed opposite changes, and gradually approached to normal rats. 12 different metabolites were identified by metabonomics, and the biosynthesis and metabolism of phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan, the metabolism of amino sugars, nucleotide sugars and pyrimidines metabolism, and the biosynthesis of steroid hormone were identified based on the biomarker analysis. Based on the biochemical analysis and metabonomics ...

    Abstract Abstract Background Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is one of the common cardiovascular complications of diabetes and a leading cause of death in diabetic patients. Mitochondrial metabolism and immune-inflammation are key for DCM pathogenesis, but their crosstalk in DCM remains an open issue. This study explored the separate roles of mitochondrial metabolism and immune microenvironment and their crosstalk in DCM with bioinformatics. Methods DCM chip data (GSE4745, GSE5606, and GSE6880) were obtained from NCBI GEO, while mitochondrial gene data were downloaded from MitoCarta3.0 database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened by GEO2R and processed for GSEA, GO and KEGG pathway analyses. Mitochondria-related DEGs (MitoDEGs) were obtained. A PPI network was constructed, and the hub MitoDEGs closely linked to DCM or heart failure were identified with CytoHubba, MCODE and CTD scores. Transcription factors and target miRNAs of the hub MitoDEGs were predicted with Cytoscape and miRWalk database, respectively, and a regulatory network was established. The immune infiltration pattern in DCM was analyzed with ImmuCellAI, while the relationship between MitoDEGs and immune infiltration abundance was investigated using Spearman method. A rat model of DCM was established to validate the expression of hub MitoDEGs and their relationship with cardiac function. Results MitoDEGs in DCM were significantly enriched in pathways involved in mitochondrial metabolism, immunoregulation, and collagen synthesis. Nine hub MitoDEGs closely linked to DCM or heart failure were obtained. Immune analysis revealed significantly increased infiltration of B cells while decreased infiltration of DCs in immune microenvironment of DCM. Spearman analysis demonstrated that the hub MitoDEGs were positively associated with the infiltration of pro-inflammatory immune cells, but negatively associated with the infiltration of anti-inflammatory or regulatory immune cells. In the animal experiment, 4 hub MitoDEGs (Pdk4, Hmgcs2, Decr1, and Ivd) ...

    Abstract Current studies showed that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) may act as prognostic biomarkers in a variety of cancers. The aim of this study was to identify and assess a prognostic lncRNA signature in patients with gastric carcinoma (GC). LncRNAs expression profiles and corresponding clinicopathological data for 350 patients with GC were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator Cox (LASSO Cox) regression model was used to identify the lncRNA signature. Finally, 3 lncRNAs (CYP4A22-AS1, AP000695.6, and RP11-108M12.3) were identified using LASSO Cox. The prognostic score was imputed as follows: (0.354 × expression level of AP000695.6) + (- 0.899 × expression level of CYP4A22-AS1) + (0.881 × expression level of RP11-108M12.3). The nomogram that integrated independent prognostic factors (age, American Joint Committee on Cancer-lymph node status, and residual tumor and risk score) was constructed. In TCGA cohort, the area under the curve (AUC) for the predictive nomogram was 0.737 (19-month survival). The calibration curve also demonstrated satisfactory agreement between predictive values and observation values in the probabilities of 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival. We also established prognostic model using machine learning technique, and the corresponding AUC for the predictive model was 0.756 (19-month survival). The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis showed that the Hippo signaling pathway was the main pathway associated with the 3-lncRNA signature.

    Abstract As the most studied two-dimensional material, graphene is still attracting a lot of attention from both academia and industry due to its fantastic properties such as lightness, excellent mechanical strength, and high conductivity of heat and electricity. As an important branch of graphene materials, graphene nanoplatelets show numerous applications such as in coating, fillers of polymer composites, energy conversion and storage devices, sensing, etc. Chemical functionalization can introduce different functional groups to graphene nanoplatelets and can potentially endow them with different properties and functions to meet the increasing demand in the fields mentioned above. In this minireview, we present an overview of the research progress of functionalized graphene nanoplatelets bearing hydroxyl, amino, and carboxylic terminal groups, including both covalent and noncovalent approaches. These terminal groups allow subsequent functionalization reactions to attach additional moieties. Relevant characterization techniques, different applications, challenges, and future directions of functionalized graphene nanoplatelets are also critically summarized.

    Abstract At present, China is in an important period of promoting high-quality economic development. In order to promote enterprises to “go global” and realize high-quality foreign investment, China advocates enterprises to abide by the environmental protection laws and regulations of the host country and standardize their environmental protection behaviors in foreign investment cooperation. However, the impact of the host country’s environmental regulation on Chinese enterprise’s multinational investment risk preference has not been paid enough attention. This paper makes an empirical analysis on how the host country’s environmental regulation affects the enterprises’ risk preference of multinational investment (MIRP) by using the samples of A-share listed companies in China from 2010 to 2018 and emphatically examines the moderating effects of enterprise’s green technology innovation and social responsibility on the relationship between host country’s environmental regulation and enterprises’ MIRP. It is found that, on the whole, the environmental regulation of the host country will significantly promote the enterprises’ MIRP. The green technology innovation will positively moderate the impact of the environmental regulation of host country on enterprises’ MIRP, while the engagement of corporate social responsibility will inhibit this positive impact.
