摘要:
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. 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. 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. The findings suggest that difficulties in controlling the interference effect of internet-related information represent a key dysfunction in inhibitory control of PIU.

摘要:
To provide more useful feedback strategies in DGBL, this study investigated the effects of dynamic feedback (feedback contents adjusted to game task difficulty) and static feedback (the same feedback contents for all tasks) on students' learning by using an educational programming game with easy to difficult game tasks. In addition, a lag sequence analysis was used to analyze the behavior patterns of learners. A sample of 105 university students were randomly assigned to four feedback treatment conditions. The results showed that dynamic feedback, with feedback contents appropriately adjusted to the task difficulty levels (i.e., simple hints after easy game tasks and detailed explanations after difficult game tasks), were more effective in enhancing students' learning achievement and gaming engagement. Furthermore, we also found that providing detailed explanations after both easy and difficult game tasks led to a decrease in learners' engagement. The implications of findings and future research directions are discussed.

摘要:
BACKGROUND: While evidence shows that people with early psychosis are flexible in using different emotion regulation (ER) strategies to manage the varying contextual demands, no studies have examined the effectiveness of such regulatory flexibility in this population. We addressed this issue by investigating whether and how ER flexibility relate to different dynamic aspects (variability, instability, inertia, and recovery) of negative affect (NA) in a combined early psychosis sample, consisting of both individuals at high clinical risk for psychosis and those diagnosed with first-episode psychosis. METHODS: Participants were 148 individuals from the INTERACT project, a multi-center randomized controlled trial on the efficacy of acceptance and commitment therapy in early psychosis. We utilized data from the baseline assessment, during which all participants completed six days of experience sampling assessment of momentary NA, as well as end-of-day assessments of ER strategy use. RESULTS: Multilevel models of within-person associations showed that greater ER flexibility was associated with more stable NA, and quicker recovery of NA from stressors during the day. Linear regression analyses of between-person associations showed that people who had more variable and unstable NA reported greater ER flexibility generally. No evidence was found for associations with NA inertia. CONCLUSIONS: The current study identified unique within-person and between-person links between ER flexibility and dynamics of NA in early psychosis. These findings further provide evidence for ER flexibility in early psychosis, emphasizing the adaptive nature of regulatory flexibility in relation to reduced instability in NA and faster recovery from NA in everyday life.
摘要:
The Word Superiority Effect (WSE) refers to the phenomenon where a single letter is recognized more accurately when presented within a word, compared to when it is presented alone or in a random string. However, previous research has produced conflicting findings regarding whether this effect also occurs in the processing of Chinese characters. The current study employed the capacity coefficient, a measure derived from the Systems Factorial Technology framework, to investigate processing efficiency and test for the superiority effect in Chinese characters and English words. We hypothesized that WSE would result in more efficient processing of characters/words compared to their individual components, as reflected by super capacity processing. However, contrary to our predictions, results from both the "same" (Experiment 1) and "different" (Experiment 2) judgment tasks revealed that native Chinese speakers exhibited limited processing capacity (inefficiency) for both English words and Chinese characters. In addition, results supported an English WSE with participants integrating English words and pseudowords more efficiently than nonwords, and decomposing nonwords more efficiently than words and pseudowords. In contrast, no superiority effect was observed for Chinese characters. To conclude, the current work suggests that the superiority effect only applies to English processing efficiency with specific context rules and does not extend to Chinese characters.
摘要:
Age-related cognitive decline is a global phenomenon that affects individuals worldwide. The course and extent of this decline are influenced by numerous factors, such as genetics, lifestyle, education, and cognitive engagement. The theory of brain and cognitive reserve/maintenance posits that these factors have a significant impact on the degree of cognitive decline and overall brain health. However, the absence of standardized definitions and measurements for these terms creates ambiguity in research. To address this issue, we utilized a robust and systematic experimental paradigm, employing a considerably large subject pool comprising 17,030 participants from the UK Biobank. Utilizing advanced machine learning methodologies, we were able to accurately quantify both brain maintenance (BM) and cognitive maintenance (CM), making use of six distinct MRI modalities and nine distinct cognitive capabilities. Our study successfully identified several significant features that were meaningfully associated with both BM and CM outcomes. The results of our study demonstrate that lifestyle factors play a significant role in influencing both BM and CM through unique and independent mechanisms. Specifically, our study found that health status is a critical determinant of BM, while diabetes was found to be moderately associated with CM. Furthermore, our study revealed a positive correlation between BM/CM and cognitive reserve. By carefully considering the unique and independent mechanisms that govern both BM and CM, as well as their correlation with cognitive reserve, our study has provided valuable insight into the various strategies that may be leveraged to promote sustainable interventions to enhance cognitive and brain health across the lifespan.

摘要:
Background: Despite mounting evidence linking asthma to air pollution, it remains unclear which specific pollutant(s) exposure during critical time window(s) plays a pivotal role in the development of asthma.Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of intrauterine and postnatal air pollution exposure on children's asthma.Methods: From 2019 to 2020, a retrospective cohort study was conducted in Changsha, China. The inverse distance weighted (IDW) method was used to estimate each child's personal exposure to outdoor air pollutants at their home address. Associations between personal air pollution exposure and asthma were comprehensively examined.Results: The occurrence of children's asthma was found to be linked to exposure to PM2.5 and NO2 during both the intrauterine and current periods, with significant ORs (95% CI) of 1.44 (1.08-1.93) and 1.29 (1.00-1.68) for IQR increase in intrauterine exposure particularly during the 2nd trimester, and 1.26 (1.01-1.57) and 1.26 (1.04-1.51) for exposure in previous year. Post-natal PM10 exposure was linked to asthma, with an OR (95% CI) of 1.28 (1.01-1.62). Higher risks of asthma were associated with intrauterine exposure to PM2.5 and postnatal exposure to PM10. The critical time windows for PM2.5, PM2.5-10, and PM10 exposure were identified as the entire pregnancy, the second trimester, and the entire postnatal period, respectively. Cumulative exposure to PM2.5 and NO2 during gestational weeks had a notable impact on asthma. Additionally, exposure to traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) at all timing stages, as well as PM2.5-10 and SO2 at night, increased the risk of asthma. Certain subgroups were more vulnerable to asthma risk due to air pollution.Conclusion: Children's asthma was predominantly influenced by exposure to particulate matters and TRAP during both the intrauterine and postnatal periods.

摘要:
Background: Childhood pneumonia remains a major public health concern worldwide, but the critical meteorological factors that contribute to it are unknown. Objective: To investigate the relationship between childhood pneumonia and prenatal and postnatal exposure to meteorological factors to identify the critical factors and vulnerable timing windows. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 8689 preschoolers in China. We gathered information on personal factors, health status, and indoor environment through questionnaires. We considered meteorological factors including temperature (mean, maximum, minimum), diurnal temperature variation (DTV), relative humidity, wind speed, rainfall, pressure and sunshine during early life. Using multiple logistic regression models, we investigated the links between childhood pneumonia and early life exposure to meteorological factors. Results: Exposure to mean, maximum, and minimum temperatures was associated with childhood pneumonia in the first month and first trimester, with ORs (95% CI) of 1.32 (1.07-1.62), 1.26 (1.04-1.52) and 1.33 (1.08-1.64) in the first month, and 1.42 (1.12-1.81), 1.36 (1.08-1.71) and 1.47 (1.15-1.88) in the first trimester for per IQR increase in each meteorological factor exposure. Wind speed, rainfall, and sunshine exhibited significant associations with pneumonia during the first, second, and third trimesters, respectively. Exposure to various temperatures, DTV, relative humidity, rainfall, air pressure, and sunshine were linked to childhood pneumonia in the postnatal period, particularly in the previous year. The sensitivity analysis revealed that boys are more vulnerable to meteorological factors. Keeping dogs or plants may offer protection against the pneumonia risk of prenatal and postnatal meteorological exposure. Conclusion: Exposure to meteorological factors during both the prenatal and postnatal periods, especially in early pregnancy, was found to elevate the risk of childhood pneumonia.
摘要:
With the ever-changing social environment, individual creativity is facing a severe challenge induced by stress. However, little is known regarding the underlying mechanisms by which acute stress affects creative cognitive processing. The current research explored the impacts of the neuroendocrine response on creativity under stress and its underlying cognitive flexibility mechanisms. The enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay was employed to assess salivary cortisol, which acted as a marker of stress-induced activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Eye blink rate (EBR) and pupil diameter were measured as respective indicators of dopamine and noradrenaline released by the activation of the sympathetic-adrenal-medullary (SAM) axis. The Wisconsin card task (WCST) measured cognitive flexibility, while the alternative uses task (AUT) and the remote association task (RAT) measured separately divergent and convergent thinking in creativity. Results showed higher cortisol increments following acute stress induction in the stress group than control group. Ocular results showed that the stress manipulation significantly increased EBR and pupil diameter compared to controls, reflecting increased SAM activity. Further analysis revealed that stress-released cortisol impaired the originality component of the AUT, reducing cognitive flexibility as measured by perseverative errors on the WCST task. Serial mediation analyses showed that both EBR and pupil diameter were also associated with increased perseverative errors leading to poor originality on the AUT. These findings confirm that physiological arousal under stress can impair divergent thinking through the regulation of different neuroendocrine pathways, in which the deterioration of flexible switching plays an important mediating role. The current research is the first attempt to uncover the potential cognitive and neurophysiological mechanisms underlying creative processing under acute stress, providing a novel route to reducing stress and stress-related physiology. Moreover, the Dual Pathway to Creativity Model has been corroborated and extended for application in stressful situations.

摘要:
Nowadays, suicide (especially adolescents' suicide) has been an increasingly prominent social problem worldwide; suicide ideation, as an important predictor, has been the focus of relevant studies and practices. Against this background, the present study aimed to examine the association between perceived family financial stress and adolescents' suicidal ideation, as well as the potential roles of depression and parent-child attachment. A sample of 526 junior middle school students was recruited voluntarily to participate in this cross-sectional study, and the results indicated that the prevalence of suicidal ideation among junior high school students was 15.45%; perceived family financial stress was positively associated with suicidal ideation, and depression could significantly mediate this relation; parent-child attachment significantly moderated the mediating effect of depression (in particular, the relation between depression and suicidal ideation); specifically, this relation was stronger among adolescents with lower values of parent-child attachment. These findings could deepen our understanding of the influences of perceived family financial condition and the risky factors of adolescents' suicidal ideation, which could provide guidance for the prevention and intervention of adolescents' depression and suicidal ideation.
摘要:
RNA regulates various biological processes, such as gene regulation, RNA splicing, and intracellular signal transduction. RNA's conformational dynamics play crucial roles in performing its diverse functions. Thus, it is essential to explore the flexibility characteristics of RNA, especially pocket flexibility. Here, we propose a computational approach, RPflex, to analyze pocket flexibility using the coarse-grained network model. We first clustered 3154 pockets into 297 groups by similarity calculation based on the coarse-grained lattice model. Then, we introduced the flexibility score to quantify the flexibility by global pocket features. The results show strong correlations between the flexibility scores and root-mean-square fluctuation (RMSF) values, with Pearson correlation coefficients of 0.60, 0.76, and 0.53 in Testing Sets I-III. Considering both flexibility score and network calculations, the Pearson correlation coefficient was increased to 0.71 in flexible pockets on Testing Set IV. The network calculations reveal that the long-range interaction changes contributed most to flexibility. In addition, the hydrogen bonds in the base-base interactions greatly stabilize the RNA structure, while backbone interactions determine RNA folding. The computational analysis of pocket flexibility could facilitate RNA engineering for biological or medical applications.
