    Abstract Background: Problematic Internet Use (PIU), characterized by failures to control the overuse of internet, is associated with a range of functional impairments. However, there is limited research on the specific impact of PIU on inhibitory control functions, particularly in terms of differentiating between prepotent response inhibition and interference control. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to investigate these two components of inhibitory control in individuals with PIU.
    Methods: Thirty participants who met the PIU criteria and 30 control participants were included in the present study. All participants completed the Go/No-Go and Flanker tasks, in which internet-related images and words were used as task stimuli.
    Results: In the Go/No-Go task, all participants exhibited poorer performance in inhibiting internet-related stimuli compared to internet-unrelated stimuli, during the No-Go trials. In the Flanker task, results revealed a three-way interaction of Group, Stimulus type and Congruency. Specifically, in the incongruent condition, participants with PIU exhibited slower responses for internet-unrelated targets compared to internet-related targets, whereas no similar effect was observed among individuals with low internet use.
    Conclusions: The findings suggest that difficulties in controlling the interference effect of internet-related information represent a key dysfunction in inhibitory control of PIU.

    Abstract Severe myocarditis is often accompanied by cardiac fibrosis, but the underlying mechanism has not been fully elucidated. NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammation is involved in the development of myocarditis and is closely related to the form of cell death. Inhibiting pyroptosis mediated by NLRP3 inflammasome can reduce cardiac fibrosis, although its exact mechanism remains unknown. In this study, we induced Viral myocarditis (VMC) via infection of CVB3 to explore the relationship between pyroptosis and fibrosis. Our results showed that intraperitoneal injection of an NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950 or use of NLRP3

    Abstract When people express a moral judgment, others make inferences about their personality, such as whether they are warm or competent. People may use this interpersonal process to present themselves in a way that is socially acceptable in the current circumstances. Across four studies, we investigated this hypothesis in Chinese culture and showed that college student participants tended to associate others' deontological moral judgments with warmth and utilitarian moral judgments with competence (Study 1,

    Abstract Aeration plays a crucial role in accelerating the secondary compression of municipal solid waste (MSW) for the scientific implementation of aerobic bioreactor technology. There are few comparative reports on the secondary compaction characteristics of MSW in aerobic and anaerobic bioreactors. In this study, six long-term compression tests were conducted to analyze the impact of aeration on MSW compression characteristics, considering two degradation conditions (i.e. aerobic and anaerobic conditions) and three overburden stresses (i.e. 30, 50 and 100 kPa). Model-fitting analysis was employed to examine the data from the tests and exiting literatures. The results showed that aeration effectively increased the rate of secondary compression, and slightly enhanced the steady-state secondary compression strain. In addition, these enhancements tended to decrease with increasing stresses. The increment ratio of the secondary compression rate constant (R

    Abstract Understanding the fundamental processes of human brain development and diseases is of great importance for our health. However, existing research models such as non-human primate and mouse models remain limited due to their developmental discrepancies compared with humans. Over the past years, an emerging model, the "brain organoid" integrated from human pluripotent stem cells, has been developed to mimic developmental processes of the human brain and disease-associated phenotypes to some extent, making it possible to better understand the complex structures and functions of the human brain. In this review, we summarize recent advances in brain organoid technologies and their applications in brain development and diseases, including neurodevelopmental, neurodegenerative, psychiatric diseases, and brain tumors. Finally, we also discuss current limitations and the potential of brain organoids.

    Abstract People tend to dislike and punish unfair behaviors in social interactions, and this disposition may be moderated by the characteristics of their interaction partner. We used a modified ultimatum game (UG) to investigate players' responses to fair and unfair offers from proposers described as having performed either a moral transgression or a neutral behavior, and recorded an electroencephalogram. The participants' behavior in the UG suggests that people quickly demand more fairness from proposers who have committed moral transgressions rather than neutral behavior. Event-related potentials (ERPs) revealed a significant effect of offer type and of proposer type on P300 activity. The prestimulus α-oscillation power in the neutral behavior condition was significantly lower than that in the moral transgression condition. The post-stimulus β-event-related synchronization (β-ERS) was larger for the moral transgression condition than the neutral behavior condition in response to the least fair offers, and larger for neutral behavior than the moral transgression condition in response to the fairest offers. In summary, β-ERS was influenced by both proposer type and offer type, which revealed different neural responses to the offer from either a morally transgressive or a neutral behavior proposer.

    Abstract Empathy for others' pain plays a critical role in human social interactions; however, the influence of moral transgression remains unclear. We examined the effect of moral transgression on the behavioral and underlying neural processes of empathy for others' pain. Participants performed a pain-empathy task separately in a moral transgression condition and a neutral behavior condition, while an electroencephalogram was recorded. Event-related potential (ERP) results showed that empathic response, as reflected in the late positive component, was smaller when participants performed the task in the moral transgression condition than in the neutral behavior condition. Time-frequency results also showed decreased empathic effect on the beta event-related desynchronization response in the moral transgression as compared to the neutral behavior condition. However, empathic response as reflected in the N2 component was comparable between the moral conditions. These findings demonstrate a moral transgression effect on both cognitive evaluations and sensorimotor processes of empathy for others' pain. Furthermore, spontaneous alpha-oscillation power recorded prior to the onset of empathy-inducing stimuli was significantly higher in the moral transgression condition than in the neutral behavior condition. Consequently, differences in sustained attention may be the physiological foundation of the impact of moral transgression of the observed person on the cognitive and sensorimotor processes of empathy for pain.

    Abstract Estrogen receptor‑associated receptor α (ERRα) is an orphan nuclear receptor that lacks corresponding ligands. ERRα recruits co‑regulators to regulate gene transcription and plays an important role in human physiological functions. Peroxisome proliferator‑activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is also a nuclear receptor that regulates the expression of target genes via a ligand‑dependent mechanism, thereby participating in a series of physiological processes. Both ERRα and PPARγ are involved in the process of energy metabolism and tumorigenesis. In the present review, a concise overview of the important roles governed by ERRα and PPARγ in metabolism and their association with various disease are provided.

    Abstract A landslide located in northern Sichuan Province, China was investigated. A series of numerical models of the landslide stabilized with piles and anchor cable frame beams were developed using a three-dimensional finite-element method. The Strength Reduction Method was employed to investigate the stability of slopes, the internal forces of piles, and the axial forces of anchor cables. A parametric study consisting of pile position, pile length, and pile spacing was carried out. The results show that compared to anchor cable frame beams, the combination of piles and anchor cable frame beams is a more effective retaining structure to improve slope stability. During slope destabilization, the proportion of thrust shared by piles gradually increases, while the proportion of thrust shared by anchor cables gradually decreases. Piles installed on the leading edge of a trail-mode landslide can make the slope mostly stable. As the piles move from the leading, middle, and trailing edges of the slope, the proportion of thrust shared by the anchor cables gradually increases, while local instability may occur in front of the pile. Increasing the pile length can improve the stability of the slope. However, excessive embedded length of piles has little effect on further improving the slope stability. The critical embedment length of piles found in this study is 1/3 of the total length of the pile. The critical pile spacing found in this study is 2.5 times the width of the pile section. Beyond this spacing, the effective soil arch between the piles is difficult to develop and the anchor cables may share more proportion of the landslide thrust. This study provides a reference for reinforcement system design of engineering projects considering piles and anchor cable frame beams.
