“…Spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that physical violence (Moran′s I = 0.246), threats and intimidation (Moran′s I = 0.092), and physical harassment (Moran′s I = 0.478) in WPV had significant spatial clustering relationships (all P < 0.05). The results of local spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that the high-incidence areas of WPV in EDs in China were mainly in the northwest and northeast regions, with the most serious situation in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, while the incidence rate in the southeast coastal areas of China was generally low. …”

“…Nevertheless, this unwritten literary history righted official wrongs, that is, those ignored in the literary histories, and it did so in an absolutely transient manner, as the truths exposed in such contexts did not last longer than the oxygen expired from the speaker’s lungs. We all know about the existence of those unwritten (oral) literary histories and agree that, on the whole, they. completed the picture by reintegrating in the natural corpus the artists regarded as undesirable by the Party. …”

Integration of ATAC-seq and RNA-seq reveals signal regulation during post-molt and inter-molt stages in muscle of Eriocheir sinensis by Bin Wang, Bin Wang, Jingjing Li, Mingzhi Zhang, Mingzhi Zhang, Anqi Li, Zhentao Song, Zhentao Song, Zhen He, Zhen He, Ruiqi Zhang, Ruiqi Zhang, Tong Hao, Tong Hao, Jinsheng Sun, Jinsheng Sun

“…GO enrichment analysis revealed that the up-regulated genes are largely associated with protein phosphorylation and phosphorus metabolism, while the down-regulated genes are mainly involved in DNA metabolism, transcription, cell adhesion, and G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling pathway. In all the enriched signaling pathways, GPCR signaling pathway includes the most differentially expressed genes (8 genes), which underlines its importance in the signal transduction from the post-molt stage to the inter-molt stage. …”

Effect of daily alcohol intake on sex hormone levels among postmenopausal breast cancer survivors on aromatase inhibitor therapy: a randomized controlled crossover pilot study by Elizabeth Mostofsky, Julie E. Buring, Steven E. Come, Nadine M. Tung, Cancan Zhang, Kenneth J. Mukamal

“…Methods In this 10-week randomized controlled two-period crossover trial conducted from September 2022 to July 2023 among 20 postmenopausal women on AIs, we examined within-person changes in sex hormone levels following 3 weeks of 5 ounces of white wine daily versus 3 weeks of 6 ounces of white grape juice daily, with each drinking period preceded by two-week washouts and drinking period sequence allocated by randomization. Results All 20 participants completed the trial. Compared to daily grape juice, daily wine led to decreases in total estradiol (11.1%, 95%confidence interval[CI] -49.8%,57.2%), free estradiol index (0.7%, 95%CI -2%,0.7%), and free estradiol concentration (7.7%, 95%CI -48%, 63.9%) but increases in estrone (13.8%, 95%CI -9.5%,43.1%), dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS; 11.4%, 95%CI -3.3%,28.4%), and testosterone (12.6%, 95%CI -0.8%,27.7%) and decreased sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG; -2.7%, 95%CI -21.9%,21.2%). …”
