Abstract Background: In this study, the Universal Mental Health Literacy Scale for Adolescents (UMHL-A) was revised and tested for its reliability and validity in Chinese middle school students, thus establishing a useful tool for assessing the mental health of individuals in this occupation. Methods: Our sample comprised 1208 junior high school students (58.85% male), aged between 11 and 15 years old. The Chinese version of the scale includes a mental health attitude subscale and mental health knowledge subscale, including attitudes towards seeking help, attitudes related to stigma, general mental health knowledge, and knowledge about specific mental… More >

Abstract Background: With public health emergencies (PHE) worldwide increasing, the perceived risk of PHE has been one of the critical factors influencing college students’ psychological distress. However, the mechanisms by which the perceived risk of PHE affects college students’ psychological distress are not clear. The study’s purpose was to investigate the mediation roles of deviation from a balanced time perspective (DBTP) and negative coping styles between the perceived risk of PHE and psychological distress. Methods: A convenience sampling method was used to survey 1054 Chinese college students with self-reporting. Data was collected using the Public Risk… More >

Abstract Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) is an imperative food crop cultured in dryland agricultural ecology. It is a vital source of dietary protein to millions of populaces living in low-income countries in South-East Asia and Africa. This study highlights the improvement of genomic properties and their application in marker-trait relationships for 17 yield-related characters in 400 grass pea genotypes from China and Bangladesh. These characters were assessed via 56 polymorphic markers using general linear model (GLM) (P+G+Q) and mixed linear model (MLM) (P+G+Q+K) in the tassel software based on the linkage disequilibrium and population structure analysis.… More >

Abstract Objectives: Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-targeted therapies have demonstrated potential benefits for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients with HER2 amplification, but are not satisfactory in cases of HER2 mutant CRCs. Methods: Consequently, further elucidation of amplifications and somatic mutations in erythroblastic oncogene B-2 (ERBB2) is imperative. Comprehensive genomic profiling was conducted on 2454 Chinese CRC cases to evaluate genomic alterations in 733 cancer-related genes, tumor mutational burden, microsatellite instability, and programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression. Results: Among 2454 CRC patients, 85 cases (3.46%) exhibited ERBB2 amplification, and 55 cases (2.24%) carried ERBB2 mutation.… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Chinese Clinical Named Entity Recognition (CNER) is a crucial step in extracting medical information and is of great significance in promoting medical informatization. However, CNER poses challenges due to the specificity of clinical terminology, the complexity of Chinese text semantics, and the uncertainty of Chinese entity boundaries. To address these issues, we propose an improved CNER model, which is based on multi-feature fusion and multi-scale local context enhancement. The model simultaneously fuses multi-feature representations of pinyin, radical, Part of Speech (POS), word boundary with BERT deep contextual representations to enhance the semantic representation of text… More >

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the relationship between mental health literacy (MHL) and workplace well-being (WWB) of Chinese grassroots civil servants, with regulatory emotional self-efficacy (RESE) and resilience as mediating variables. A questionnaire survey was conducted among Chinese grassroots civil servants, with a valid sample size of 2673 after excluding missing values and conducting relevant data processing. The PROCESS was used to examine the relationship between MHL, RESE, resilience, and WWB. The study found that MHL among grassroots civil servants was positively and significantly correlated with WWB (r = 0.73, p < 0.01). RESE partially mediated… More >

Abstract Chinese named entity recognition (CNER) has received widespread attention as an important task of Chinese information extraction. Most previous research has focused on individually studying flat CNER, overlapped CNER, or discontinuous CNER. However, a unified CNER is often needed in real-world scenarios. Recent studies have shown that grid tagging-based methods based on character-pair relationship classification hold great potential for achieving unified NER. Nevertheless, how to enrich Chinese character-pair grid representations and capture deeper dependencies between character pairs to improve entity recognition performance remains an unresolved challenge. In this study, we enhance the character-pair grid representation… More >

Abstract Background: Emerging adulthood is a pivotal life stage, presenting significant psychological and social changes, such as decreased sociability, depression, and other mental health problems. Previous studies have associated these changes with an unhealthy lifestyle. The 24-h movement guidelines for healthy lifestyles have been developed to promote appropriate health behaviors and improve individual wellness. However, the relationship between adherence to the 24-h movement guidelines and different characteristics of Chinese emerging adults is yet to be explored. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association between adherence to the 24-h movement guidelines and four characteristics (self-exploration, instability, possibilities,… More >

Abstract Chinese Medicine (CM) has been widely used as an important avenue for disease prevention and treatment in China especially in the form of CM prescriptions combining sets of herbs to address patients’ symptoms and syndromes. However, the selection and compatibility of herbs are complex and abstract due to intrinsic relationships between herbal properties and their overall functions. Network analysis is applied to demonstrate the complex relationships between individual herbal efficacy and the overall function of CM prescriptions. To illustrate their connections and correlations, prescription function (PF), prescription herb (PH), and herbal efficacy (HE) intra-networks are… More >

Abstract This study aims to revise the Belief in a Just World Scale (BJWS) for Chinese college students and test its reliability and validity (construct validity, convergent and divergent validity). Two samples of 546 and 595 college students were selected, respectively, using stratified cluster random sampling. Item analysis, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), reliability analysis and convergent and divergent validity tests were carried out. The results showed that the 13 items of the BJWS have good item discrimination. The corrected item–total correlation in the general belief in a just world subscale was found… More >
