“…After propensity score matching, 163 cases from SLE and control groups were included for analysis. (1) Regarding medical complications, compared with control group, SLE group showed significant differences in osteoporosis, respiratory system disorders, gastrointestinal diseases, urinary system disorders, hematologic abnormalities, and secondary or concomitant rheumatic diseases (all P < 0.05). (2) In terms of preoperative laboratory tests, SLE group had lower platelet counts, absolute lymphocyte counts, hemoglobin levels, hematocrit, albumin levels, blood glucose levels, and activated partial thromboplastin times than control group, while C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and D-dimer levels were higher (all P < 0.05). (3) Regarding surgical-related indicators, a higher proportion of patients in SLE group had an ASA grade > 2 (15.95% vs. 3.07%, P < 0.001), but intraoperative blood loss was significantly smaller [324.7 (200.0, 500.0) mL vs. 421.8 (200.0, 500.0) mL, P=0.005]. (4) In terms of complications, SLE group exhibited a significantly higher incidence of major complications than control group (8.59% vs. 1.23%, P=0.005), with a relative risk of 1.081 (95% CI: 1.028-1.136). …”

Gravitational wave luminosity distance for Starobinsky gravity in viscous cosmological models by Jia-nan Chi, Ya-Bo Wu, Yu Sang, Xue Zhang, Yi-liang Hu, Wen-zhong Liu, Bo-hai Chen

“…We observe that, in the range of $$0< z\le 8.2$$ 0 < z ≤ 8.2 , the evolutionary curves of $$\delta (z)$$ δ ( z ) and $$d_L^{GW}(z)/d_L^{EM}(z)$$ d L GW ( z ) / d L EM ( z ) exhibit that $$\delta (z)$$ δ ( z ) ( $$d_L^{GW}(z)/d_L^{EM}(z)$$ d L GW ( z ) / d L EM ( z ) ) monotonically decrease (increase) as redshift rises, moreover there are always $$\delta (z)<0$$ δ ( z ) < 0 and $$d_L^{GW}(z)\ge d_L^{EM}(z)$$ d L GW ( z ) ≥ d L EM ( z ) , specially $$d_L^{GW}(0)=d_L^{EM}(0)$$ d L GW ( 0 ) = d L EM ( 0 ) in the limit of $$z\rightarrow 0$$ z → 0 , which means that detecting GW signals might represent a more efficient tool than detecting EM signals to test modified gravity model on the given scale of cosmic distances. …”

Chain-mediated effect of physical activity between Chinese language-based L2 motivational self-system and intended effort by Zixia Bu, Yu Liu, Yi Ba, Shan Jiang, Huijuan Liu, Jiyuan Li, Fuqiang Dong, Haohan Yu, Xindi Zhao

“…In terms of correlations, there were general and significant positive correlations between PA and the rest of the indicators (r > 0.3, P < 0.05), except for learning desire and ought-to L2 self (r = 0.293). According to the SEM test, in addition to the direct effect of L2MSS on intended effort, the following paths existed: (1) ILS→PA→IE (effect=-0.265, ratio = 31.28%, 95%CI=[0.124, 0.527]), (2) OLS→PA→IE (effect = 0.179, ratio = 17.94%, 95%CI=[0.074, 0.256]), (3) ILS→PA→LE→IE (effect = 0.116, ratio = 10.69%, 95%CI=[0.042, 0.248]), (4) OLS→PA→LE→IE (effect = 0.108, ratio = 4.15%, 95%CI=[0.039, 0.126]). total indirect effect为0.304 (ratio = 59.61%, 95%CI=[0.069, 0.289]). (1) PA had an ameliorative effect on L2MSS, learning experience, and intended effort, and increasing PA level increased the significance of this effect. (2) PA level positively predicts L2MSS, learning experience, and intended effort. (3) PA is an important mediator in the process of L2MSS that influences the learning experience and intended effort, so MPA at least 3 days a week can increase the efficiency of second language learning. …”
