In an increasingly aging society, it is of great importance to consider trajectories subcortical volumes at different ages for understanding biological markers aging. Thus, we investigated sex, age, and their interactions on volumes, including the basal ganglia (caudate, putamen, accumbens, pallidum), thalamus, hippocampus, amygdala.We analyzed adult lifespan trajectory asymmetries in 563 healthy subjects aged from 19 86 using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data publicly available 7IXI...
In the aftermath of 1996 welfare and immigration reforms, service utilization is particularly challenging for mixed-status families in which U.S.-born children live with undocumented parents. This study used both qualitative interview data quantitative survey to document Latino immigrant parents' their perceived impact existence detention deportation on utilization. Results indicate that headed by parents accessed services citizen at a level similar documented Although participants reported...
AIM:To investigate effect of losartan, an AT1 receptor antagonist, on hepatic fibrosis induced by CCl(4); and to determine whether or not receptors are expressed stellate cells. METHODS AND RESULTS:Fifty male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing (180 plus minus20)g, were randomized into five groups (control group, model three losartan treated groups), in which all rats given the subcutaneous injection 40% CCl(4)(every 3 days for 6 weeks) except control group. Rats losartan-treated with (20 mg/kg,...
AIM:To investigate the pathway via which 17β-estradiol (β-Est) exerts suppressive effects on rat hepatic fibrosis. METHODS:In vivo study was done in CCl 4 -induced female hepatofibrotic rats.Fibrosis-suppressive effect of β-Est (20 µg/kg•d) evaluated intact and ovariectomized models.Six weeks after treatment, all rats were sacrificed specimens serum or liver tissue collected for studies.Serum enzymes, fibrosis markers estradiol levels determined by standard enzymatic methods, ELISA RIA,...
Background Neuroglial heterotopia is a rare lesion composed of differentiated neuroectodermal cells that manifest in extracranial locations, with the majority cases predominantly occurring head and neck region. Retroperitoneal neuroglial exceptionally rare, isolated published scientific literature. Case report Here, we present case 3-year-old girl who was admitted without clinical signs but presented palpable abdominal mass. Ultrasonography computed tomography scans revealed sizable cystic...
Abstract The authors report two studies that examined how native‐ and second‐language skills were related to reading difficulties for native Chinese‐speaking fourth graders learning read English. In study 1, 50 poor English readers with Chinese‐reading (the PB group) 34 without PE compared 53 typically developing controls on phonological awareness, rapid naming, memory. Results showed both groups of phonemic awareness naming deficits in languages the group had additional skill onset‐rime...
We tested the factorial invariance of Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) across 2,178 rural, urban, and rural-to-urban Chinese adolescent students from middle schools universities. examined psychometric properties SWLS a 1-factor model each groups. Multigroup analysis results revealed configural, weak, strong, strict groups, also invariance, covariance, latent mean invariance. The showed that had high internal consistency reliability supported single-factor structure. In addition, they gap...
Abstract Cannabis is the most frequently used illicit drug in world. Cross‐sectional neuroimaging studies have revealed that chronic cannabis exposure and development of use disorders may affect cerebllar morphology. However, cross‐sectional cannot make a conclusive distinction between causes consequences, there lack longitudinal studies. In current study, we data to explore whether persistent higher levels young adults are related cerebellar thickness alterations. Twenty heavy users (CBs)...
Although the spacing effect is one of most robust effects in learning, its cognitive and neural mechanisms are still under investigation. Whether achieved by reducing repetition priming or depends on learning experience unclear. In this event-related potential study, participants were asked to memorize 140 novel faces, half massed condition other spaced condition. The afterwards recognition tests indicated that recognized more items than electroencephalography data suggested was associated...
AIM:To assess the effects of somatostatin on proliferation and apoptosis activated rat hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). METHODS:HSCs isolated from livers adult Sprague-Dawley rats (weighing 400-500 g) by in situ perfusion purified single-step density gradient centrifugation with Nycodenz, became after 10 days' cultivation.Then apoptotic rate HSCs treated different doses for 72 h, was assayed acridine orange/ et hid ium br omi de flu ores cen t s tai nin g, ter min al deoxynucleotidyl...
The purpose of this study was to examine the profiles nonresponders among native Chinese-speaking students struggling in English reading before and after an intensive intervention phonological awareness as well letter knowledge. Struggling learners (n = 72) were screened from 668 Grade 4 based on their word recognition, school examinations, nominations by teachers. About 43% readers remediated decoding skills intervention. Nonresponders profiled both orthographic processing first second...
Genistein has been limited in clinical application due to its low bioavailability, extremely poor liposolubility, and fast glycosylation rate, though it possesses anti-breast cancer activity. Therefore, the discovery of novel genistein derivatives is an urgency.To enhance activity genistein, a series fluorinated were synthesized.Their vitro antitumor was investigated by MTT assay against three cell lines, via, MDA-MB-231, MCF-7, MDA-MB-435, respectively.Analogs 1d, 2b, 3b showed remarkable...
The purpose of this meta-analysis was to investigate the immediate and long-term effects intervention for children with primary speech language delays/disorders explore whether some characteristics interventions, specifics study research participants moderate magnitude effectiveness interventions. Using random effect model, we pooled size conducted a publication bias evaluation, moderating analysis in CMA 2.0. Results model demonstrated (g = 0.70), whereas efficacy small 0.23). Additionally,...
This study examined the role of word-level reading skills (decoding) and language comprehension in English as a second comprehension. A total 167 Chinese second-year undergraduates participated study, 44 poor readers 47 typical were screened compared for their performance on tests reading-related cognitive skills. The results showed that (1) scored significantly lower than word listening comprehension, but they comparable terms phoneme segmentation, rapid letter naming fluency; (2) accounted...
