“…We integrated cortical thickness, surface area, and cortical/subcortical volume, with a measure of single-participant structural covariance using a graph neural network approach.ResultsOur findings suggest two large clusters, which differed in measures of adaptive functioning (χ2 = 7.8, P = 0.004), inattention (χ2 = 11.169, P < 0.001), hyperactivity (χ2 = 18.44, P < 0.001), IQ (χ2 = 9.24, P = 0.002), age (χ2 = 70.87, P < 0.001), and sex (χ2 = 105.6, P < 0.001).DiscussionThese clusters did not align with existing diagnostic labels, suggesting that brain structure is more likely to be associated with differences in adaptive functioning, IQ, and ADHD features.…”

Effect and Mechanism of Action of Pushing Method on Rats with Skeletal Muscle Overuse Injury based on Wnt/β-catenin Signaling Pathway by DUAN Miaomiao, HUANG Bo, RUAN Lei, MU Pangpang, CHEN Yiming, PENG Liang

“…Catenin protein expression levels.Results(1) Comparison of motor function：compared with the blank group, the time of passing through the balance beam and the number of times of sliding paw were significantly increased in the model group and intervention group after intervention, and the difference was statistically significant (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); compared with the model group, the time of passing through the paw and the number of times of sliding paw were significantly decreased in the intervention group after intervention, and the difference was statistically significant (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). (2) Gastrocnemius muscle histopathological changes：the model group can be seen in the gastrocnemius muscle a large number of myocytes can be seen within the cracks, myogenic fibers fracture; compared with the model group, the degree of damage to the gastrocnemius muscle tissues in the intervention group to reduce the degree of damage, can be seen in the form of myofibers is regular, neatly arranged. (3) Ultrastructural changes in gastrocnemius muscle tissue：local myogenic fiber bundles were broken and dissolved, and a small amount of Z-line structure was dissolved and blurred; compared with the model group, the gastrocnemius muscle cells in the intervention group were slightly edematous, and the structure of the myogenic fiber bundles was clear; part of the myogenic fiber bundles were broken, and the structure of the Z-lines was clear and more neatly arranged. (4) Gastrocnemius muscle tissue MyoD, MyoG and Pax7 mRNA transcript levels：compared with the blank group, MyoD, MyoG and Pax7 mRNA transcript levels were significantly higher in both the model group and the intervention group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); compared with the model group, MyoD, MyoG and Pax7 mRNA transcript levels were significantly higher in the intervention group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). (5) Gastrocnemius muscle tissue MyoD, MyoG and Pax7 protein expression level：compared with the blank group, MyoD, MyoG and Pax7 protein expression water were significantly higher in both the model group and the intervention group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); compared with the model group, MyoD, MyoG and Pax7 protein expression level was significantly higher in the intervention group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).
