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

“…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. …”

Pulsed Low-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (LIFU) Activation of Ovarian Follicles by Yan Xiao, Lixia Yang, Yicong Wang, Yu Wang, Yuning Chen, Wenhan Lu, Zhenle Pei, Ruonan Zhang, Yao Ye, Xiaowei Ji, Suying Liu, Xi Dong, Yonghua Xu, Yi Feng

“…<italic>Results:</italic> We found a 50&#x0025; increase in ovarian weight and in the number of mature follicles on the ultrasound-stimulated side with pulsed LIFU and intraperitoneal injection of 10 IU PMSG in 10-day-old rats. After ultrasound stimulation, the PCOS-like rats had a decrease in androgen levels, restoration of regular estrous cycle and increase in the number of mature follicles and corpora lutea, and the ratio of M1 and M2 type macrophages was altered in antral follicles of PCOS-like rats, consequently promoting further development and maturation of antral follicles. …”

Early treatment discontinuation in patients with deficient mismatch repair or microsatellite instability high metastatic colorectal cancer receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors by Chiara Cremolini, Sara Lonardi, Filippo Pietrantonio, Julien Taieb, David Tougeron, Margherita Ambrosini, Michael J Overman, Alice Boilève, Lisa Salvatore, Rosine Guimbaud, Priya Jayachandran, Frank A Sinicrope, Thibault Mazard, Javier Ros, Vincenzo Nasca, Simon Pernot, Emily Alouani, Marie Decraecker, Emilie Hafliger, Pauline Parent

“…Here we examine whether early treatment discontinuation (ETD) before 13 months in patients without progressive disease (PD) can lead to similar long-term disease control compared with a longer treatment duration (LTD).Methods To assess whether ETD is associated with similar outcomes compared with LTD, we assembled an international cohort of patients with dMMR/MSI-H mCRC treated with ICIs who stopped treatment for a reason other than PD within 395 days (ETD group) and compared them to those who continued for &gt;395 days (LTD group). …”

Effect of delivery hospital busyness on early mortality in small preterm infants: a Finnish population-based cohort study in 2006–2016 by Mika Gissler, Sari Räisänen, Seppo Heinonen, Sture Andersson, Riitta Vilkko, Markus Leskinen

“…We analysed differences in the incidence of selected adverse outcomes between quiet and busy days compared with optimal delivery-volume days by logistic regression followed by crude (ORs) and adjusted ORs (aORs) with 99% CIs.Setting A population-based cohort study based on prospectively collected real-world data from five university hospitals and 21 non-tertiary-level delivery hospitals in Finland, 2006‒2016.Participants 4323 small preterm infants.Primary outcome measures Umbilical cord pH ≤7.05, Apgar score 0–3 points at the age of 1 min, Apgar score 0–3 points at age 5 min, birth asphyxia (International Classification of Diseases-10 code), resuscitation with intubation.Secondary outcome measures Perinatal mortality comprising stillbirths and early neonatal deaths (&lt;7 days).Results Busy days (busy vs optimal) showed no correlation with the primary birth-related outcomes. …”
