Media use degree and depression: A latent profile analysis from Chinese residents

BackgroundPrevious studies have emphasized the media as an essential channel for understanding information about depression. However, they have not divided groups according to the degree of media use to study their differences in depression. Therefore, this study aims to explore the influence of media use on depression and the influencing factors of depression in people with different media use degrees.MethodsBased on seven items related to media use, a total of 11, 031 respondents were categorized by the frequency of media use using latent profile analysis (LPA). Secondly, multiple linear regression analyzes were conducted to analyze the effects of depression in people with different degrees of media use. Finally, factors influencing depression among people with different degrees of media use were explored separately.ResultsAll respondents were classified into three groups: media use low-frequency (9.7%), media use general (67.1%), and media use high-frequency (23.2%). Compared with media use general group, media use low-frequency (β = 0.019, p = 0.044) and media use high-frequency (β = 0.238, p < 0.001) groups are significantly associated with depression. The factors influencing depression in the population differed between media use low-frequency, media use general, and media use high-frequency groups.ConclusionThe government and the appropriate departments should develop targeted strategies for improving the overall health status of people with different media use degrees

Experimental and theoretical studies on nickel-zinc-catalyzed cross-coupling of gem-dibromoalkenes with P(O)-H compounds

National Basic Research Program of China [2012CB821600]; Chinese National Natural Science Foundation [21305115, 21202135, 21173178, 21232005, 81301888]; Program for Changjiang Scholars and Innovative Research Team in UniversityA new stereoselective one-pot protocol for the preparation of E-alkenyl-phosphorus compounds under catalysis of an inexpensive nickel-zinc catalyst system has been developed, which provides a potential useful method for C-P bond formation. P-31 NMR spectrum and density functional theory calculations were performed to study the reaction mechanism

LDC7559 inhibits microglial activation and GSDMD-dependent pyroptosis after subarachnoid hemorrhage

Mounting evidence indicates that inhibition of microglial activation and neuronal pyroptosis plays important roles in brain function recovery after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). LDC7559 is a newly discovered gasdermin D (GSDMD) inhibitor. Previous studies have demonstrated that LDC7559 could inhibit microglial proliferation and pyroptosis. However, the beneficial effects of LDC7559 on SAH remain obscure. Based on this background, we investigated the potential role and the mechanism of LDC7559 on SAH-induced brain damage both in vivo and in vitro. The findings revealed that microglial activation and neuronal pyroptosis were evidently increased after SAH, which could be markedly suppressed by LDC7559 both in vivo and in vitro. Meanwhile, LDC7559 treatment reduced neuronal apoptosis and improved behavior function. Mechanistically, LDC7559 decreased the levels of GSDMD and cleaved GSDMD after SAH. In contrast, nod-like receptor pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation by nigericin increased GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis and abated the beneficial effects of LDC7559 on SAH-induced brain damage. However, LDC7559 treatment did not significantly affect the expression of NLRP3 after SAH. Taken together, LDC7559 might suppress neuronal pyroptosis and microglial activation after SAH by inhibiting GSDMD, thereby promoting brain functional recovery

Ultraconformal Horizontal Zinc Deposition toward Dendrite‐Free Anode

Aqueous zinc (Zn)‐ion batteries (ZIBs) have been considered as the most promising candidate for large‐scale energy storage system. However, the severe and uncontrollable dendrite growth of Zn anodes hinders the practical application. Herein, an ultraconformal horizontal Zn deposition is achieved, which is profiting from the epitaxial interface (InGaZn6O9) formed via spontaneously alloying between liquid Ga–In alloy (EGaIn) and Zn. The exposed (0016) plane of InGaZn6O9 matches well with (002) plane of Zn, inducing horizontal and dense Zn deposition. The resultant anode endows with prolonged cycling stability, and the full battery paired with MnO2 exhibits a stable lifespan over 4400 cycles at 5 A g−1. Meanwhile, the self‐formed ultraconformal interface realizes 360° no dead angle protection of anode, which is promising in flexible electronics. And there is no obvious capacity recession of the pouch cell even after bending 180°, demonstrating impressive flexibility. More importantly, the interface can be simply fabricated over a large area, displaying the large‐scale viability. The tailored approach delivers a constructive guideline for dendrite‐free Zn anode, showing great potential in the industrial production
