Published: January 2025

BackgroundThe Depression Anxiety Stress Scale for Youth (DASS-Y) is a self-report instrument recently developed to evaluate negative emotional states in children and adolescents. However, the Persian version’s factor structure and psychometric properties have yet to be investigated in Iranian youth. The study aimed to assess the factor structure and reliability of the Persian DASS-Y in a sample of Iranian children and adolescents.MethodsThe study recruited 1,277 children and adolescents, 703 (55.1%) being girls and 574 (44.9%) being boys (aged 7–18 years), from schools in Tehran, Iran. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted to evaluate structural validity and test the fit of three-factor models. Internal consistency reliability was examined using Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega coefficients for the DASS-Y total and subscale items. Convergent and discriminant validity were also assessed.ResultsThe CFA results supported the original 3-factor structure of the DASS-Y, consisting of Depression, Anxiety, and Stress subscales in both groups of Iranian children and adolescents. Subsequently, the Pearson correlation coefficient assessed the scale’s convergent and discriminant validity, which was relatively appropriate. Also, the DASS-Y’s internal consistency reliability was satisfactory.ConclusionThe Persian DASS-Y is a reliable and valid Instrument for measuring depression, anxiety, and stress in Iranian children and adolescents. It can be helpful for both research and clinical work, helping to assess psychological distress in children and adolescents.

Published: January 2025

IntroductionSensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS) describes individual differences in sensitivity to environments, but there is little research on potential positive correlates of SPS. Hereby we investigate whether SPS and its Aesthetic Sensitivity (AES) component are associated with different facets of creativity and empathy.MethodsQuestionnaires on SPS, creativity and empathy were administered to 296 participants and data were analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression.ResultsHigher SPS total and AES scores were associated with more creative ideas (SPS: β = 0.294, pfdr &lt; 0.001; AES: β = 0.484, pfdr &lt; 0.001). Only AES was associated with more creative activities (AES: β = 0.292, pfdr &lt; 0.001). Furthermore, higher SPS total and AES scores were associated with more overall empathy (SPS: β = 0.428, pfdr &lt; 0.001; AES: β = 0.373, pfdr &lt; 0.001), affective empathy (SPS: β = 0.507, pfdr &lt; 0.001; AES: β = 0.331, pfdr &lt; 0.001), cognitive empathy (SPS: β = 0.2692, pfdr &lt; 0.001; AES: β = 0.347, pfdr &lt; 0.001), and less emotional disconnection (SPS: β = 0.234, pfdr β 0.001; AES: β = 0.210, pfdr β 0.001). Most associations remained significant after controlling for openness to experience, and the other SPS components of ease of excitation and low sensory threshold and gender, age, and education.DiscussionWe conclude that SPS and AES are associated with creativity and empathy. Strengthening these positive aspects might help highly sensitive people flourish.

Authors: Zhang Haojun , Zhan Yunqiu , Chen Keqiu 
Published: January 2025

IntroductionEducation (EDU) enhances life expectancy (LEF) by improving health literacy and access to healthcare, leading to healthier lifestyles. Urbanization (URB) fosters better healthcare infrastructure and access to essential services, although it must be managed to avoid negative environmental impacts. Green growth (GG) ensures sustainable development, reduces pollution and environmental risks, and contributes to longer, healthier lives. Therefore, this study examines the impact of EDU, URB and GG on LEF in China from 1990 to 2022.MethodsThis study utilizes the unit root, cointegration test, and Auto Regressive distributed lag (ARDL) model, and for robustness analysis, we use the Fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) and Dynamic ordinary least squares (FMOLS) methods.ResultsThe results show that education, urbanization and green growth have a positive and significant effect on life expectancy, while C02 emissions negatively affect life expectancy.DiscussionThese findings suggest that more resources should be allocated to public education systems to ensure access to quality education from early childhood through higher education and integrate comprehensive health education into school curricula to raise awareness about healthy lifestyles, nutrition, and disease prevention. Promote intelligent urban planning incorporating green spaces, recreational areas, and safe walkways to encourage physical activity and reduce pollution. The findings significantly contribute to health economics and provide a new avenue of research for the academic community and policymakers.

Published: January 2025

BackgroundSeveral epidemiological studies have been carried out using Multiple-Locus Variable-number tandem repeat Analysis (MLVA) for M. hyopneumoniae typing. However, a global perspective on the implications of the genetic diversity of this pathogen is lacking.ObjectiveThis study aimed to determine and to analyze the genetic structure of M. hyopneumoniae based on the p97R1-p146R3 MLVA typing scheme and to characterize, analyze and compare MLVA types among countries where the information was publicly available.MethodsA set of 797 publicly available data of M. hyopneumoniaep97R1-p146R3 MLVA genetic types from six different countries were analyzed using Genalex 6.41 software to characterize loci polymorphism and using Structure 2.3.4 software in order to identify the genetic structure.ResultsA total of 185 MLVA types were identified among the analyzed data. For the p97R1 and p146R3 loci, most of the molecular variation in M. hyopneumoniae populations was identified within countries. Three genetic clusters and their recombinations were identified globally.ConclusionM. hyopneumoniae is a genetically diverse pathogen with limited clonality and three well-defined clusters and their combinations were identified in this investigation. The greatest genetic variation of M. hyopneumoniae was observed within countries.

IntroductionThis study was designed to determine the prevalence of myofascial pain and the location of myofascial trigger points (MTPs) in dogs with osteoarthritis.MethodsThirty-five dogs were selected and examined for the presence of MTPs using palpation. Assessments were performed independently by two examiners. Correlations between age, MTP number and location, and the site of osteoarthritis were also investigated.Results and discussionThirty out of 35 dogs (86%) had at least one MTP and only 5 (14%) had none. A total of 177 MTPs were identified in dogs in this sample. The prevalence of MTPs was higher in the longissimus thoracicae (40% and 43%; left and right side respectively), followed by the quadriceps femoris (40% and 31%), longissimus lumborum (20% and 23%), gluteus medius and deltoid muscles (14%; left side only), and the pectineus muscle (11%; right side only). The number of osteoarthritic joints was not correlated with the number of MTPs or age. However, age was positively correlated with the number of muscles affected by MTPs. Correlations between the presence of MTPs in muscles surrounding and the affected joints were also lacking.ConclusionThe prevalence of MTPs in dogs with osteoarthritis is high. Myofascial TPs are positively correlated with age in these patients. The subjective nature of palpation is a major limitation in myofascial pain assessment. Appropriate training and use of standardized diagnostic criteria are recommended.

Published: January 2025

ObjectivesDiscrimination poses a threat to the mental health of university students, especially those affected by social inequality, yet understanding its intersectional impact remains limited. This study examines the intersection of social inequalities with perceived discrimination to explore differences in mental health among students in Germany.MethodsData from the cross-sectional project “Survey on study conditions and mental health of university students” (n = 14,592) were analysed using Multilevel Analysis of Individual Heterogeneity and Discriminatory Accuracy (MAIHDA). Depressive symptoms, cognitive stress symptoms, and exhaustion were examined across 48 intersectional strata based on gender, first academic generation, family care tasks, and perceived discrimination.ResultsThe MAIHDA analysis revealed substantial between strata variance, with most of it explained by additive rather than intersectional interaction effects. Perceived discrimination, diverse or female gender, first academic generation, and family care tasks (for exhaustion only) were associated with worse mental health outcomes.ConclusionThe profound associations between perceived discrimination and the mental health among university students call for urgent attention and intervention within university settings. Adopting an intersectional lens is key to identifying and addressing inequalities.

Published: January 2025

A new species of Collembola in the genus Coecobrya, C. microphthalma sp. nov., is described from a cave environment in Saraburi province, central Thailand. The new species is the second described species of the boneti-group found in the country. It is most similar to C. chompon Nilsai, Lima & Jantarit, 2022, which is also described from a Thai cave. However, the new species is morphologically different from C. chompon in having orange dot pigmentation on its body and a combination of other morphological characteristics such as the number of sublobal hairs on the maxillary outer lobe and the number of medio-sublateral mac on Th. II, Abd. I, Abd. III and Abd. IV and the anterior face of the ventral tube. The morphological comparison of all known boneti species and a key to the world species of Coecobrya of the boneti-group are given. Coecobrya microphthalma sp. nov. was successfully cultured in the laboratory. The thermal tolerance of the new species was studied and tested with seven different temperature experiments (27 °C as a control, 30, 32, 33, 34, 35 and 36 °C). The results showed that C. microphthalma sp. nov. cannot survive at a temperature higher than 32 °C after exposure to the experimental heat for 7 and 14 consecutive days. At 27, 30 and 32 °C, C. microphthalma sp. nov. remained alive and produced eggs, but the duration of egg production and number of egg-laying days significantly declined when the temperature increased (p < 0.001). An interesting aspect of their reproduction concerns temperature. At 32 °C (5 °C above the control temperature), the F1 generation survived, was active and was able to molt to the adult stage. However, specimens were unable to produce the next generation of offspring. For postembryonic development, C. microphthalma sp. nov. required six molts to reach the adult stage. The development rate (from egg to adult) varied and differed significantly between the tested temperatures (p < 0.001). An increase in temperature from the control temperature significantly accelerated the developmental rate from egg to juvenile instars to adult with a statistical significance (p < 0.01). This study is the first attempt that provide information on the impact of increasing temperature on the population dynamics, reproductive capacity and life history of a subterranean tropical Collembola.

Introduction
This was the first phase 1 study conducted in the United States. It consisted of dose-escalation (part A) and multiple indication-specific cohort expansion (part B), investigating the safety and preliminary efficacy of toripalimab (anti–programmed cell death-1 inhibitor) in patients with advanced malignancies.

Methods
Patients with advanced malignancies that progressed after treatment with at least one prior line of standard systemic therapy, including the patients with advanced/recurrent cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), received toripalimab 240 mg every 3 weeks in part B. The primary endpoint was safety assessment. Efficacy endpoints included objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DoR), progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by the investigators according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (version 1.1) and overall survival (OS).

Results
In part B, 166 patients, including the 42 patients with CCA, were enrolled and received toripalimab. Among the 166 patients, treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) of any grade occurred in 158 (95.2%) patients, and 97 (58.4%) patients experienced TEAEs of Grade 3 or greater. The most common TEAE was fatigue (42.2%). Seven (4.2%) patients experienced TEAEs with a fatal outcome, none of which were identified by investigators as related to toripalimab. Investigator-assessed immune-related adverse events (irAE) of Grade 3 or higher occurred in 7 (4.2%) patients. In the CCA cohort, with the median follow-up of 4.4 months, the ORR and DCR were 4.8% (95% CI: 0.58, 16.16) and 40.5% (95% CI: 25.63, 56.72), respectively; median DoR was 7.8 (range 4.4+ to 7.8) months; median PFS was 2.1 (95% CI: 1.91, 3.88) months; median OS was not estimable.

Conclusions
Toripalimab had manageable side effects in patients with refractory cholangiocarcinoma and exhibited preliminary evidence of anti-tumor activity. However, further information regarding biomarkers is needed. ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03474640
A biomechanical modelling study of pedestrian skull and brain injury risk in vehicle collisions affected by head rotational speed
Authors: Xiangxian Yi  , Yangkun Luo,  , Wu Zhou  , Jin Nie  
Published: January 2025

Purpose
The purpose of the current study is to investigate the influence of head rotational speed on pedestrian skull and brain injury risk while considering the variation of head linear impact speed and contact location.
Methods
Pedestrian head-to-vehicle collision simulations are defined by the distributions of pedestrian head-vehicle impact boundary conditions extracted from reconstructions of real-world accidents, where finite element (FE) models of a human body head and vehicle front-end are applied.
Results
In general, a higher rotational speed at the instant of contacting with vehicle structures leads to a higher skull and brain injury risk: an increase of 30 rad/s in head rotational speed increases the skull fracture risk on average by 2.1-2.6 times and the AIS2+ (Abbreviated Injury Scale) brain injury risk by 1.7-2.7 times in head-hood impacts; for the contacts on the windscreen, the AIS2+ brain injury risk is below 15%, the effect of head rotational speed could be ignored, though an increase of 30 rad/s in head rotational speed leads to 1.6-2.9 times increase in AIS2+ brain injury risk.
Conclusions
Head rotational speed has significant influences on both skull and brain injury risk. The effect of head rotational speed is always adverse for the risk of brain injuries and hood contact induced skull fractures. However, head rotational speed has no apparent effect on the skull injury risk for head-vehicle contacts at the windscreen.
Comparative analysis of orthopaedic scaffold fixation methods – a finite element study
Authors: Gryko Anita , Prochor Piotr 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
Critical-size bone defects (CSBD) are a serious challenge in current orthopaedics. Natural healing processes are insufficient, leading to complications such as muscle atrophy, joint stiffness, impaired limb function and reduced quality of life. Currently used autologous or allogeneic bone grafts have disadvantages, such as long surgery time, secondary injuries and immunological reactions. A promising alternative in the treatment of CSBD is the use of a scaffold. The key element of the effective use of scaffolds is their proper anchoring in the bone defect. The article presents numerical analyses of the effectiveness of selected anchoring methods of the scaffold in the bone.
Methods
Scaffolds were placed in a 60 mm long CSBDs. Four methods of anchoring the scaffold in the bone were selected: locking plate, external ring, intramedullary nail and double anti-rotation wedge. A simulation of the forces generated during the entire gait cycle was performed. The parameters obtained were: Huber Mises Hencky (HMH) max stress, strain energy density (SED), sliding distance, frictional stress and bone-scaffold gap.
Results
Based on the conducted research, it was determined that the most effective of the evaluated solutions, in terms of load transfer, were the use of external ring or double anti-rotation wedge.
Conclusions
The conducted research confirm that in the treatment of CSBD, an effective solution is the use of a scaffold, which effectiveness can be improved with appropriate anchoring method.

Published: January 2025

Purpose
This paper aims to enhance athletes’ body coordination through mastering the optimal core mechanics training method.
Methods
This article selected 20 Wushu athletes and randomly divided them into two groups, an experimental group that participated in core mechanics training and a control group that participated in normal waist and abdomen training. By comparing the data of core strength quality and completion degree of difficult movements before and after experiments, this study explored whether core mechanics training can improve the body coordination of Wushu athletes during aerial rotations.
Results
Group A was one point higher than group B in the degree of contracted waist, and the improvement of core stability was also significantly higher than group B (P < 0.05). In terms of the improvement of core explosive power, the number of sit-ups per minute of both groups increased by more than 15.
Conclusions
Core mechanics training can improve the quality of Wushu athletes' aerial rotations more effectively and enhance their body coordination.
