Effects of smoking social cues on brand perception and smoking: an event-related potential study by Yiming Zhang, Zhan Wang, Fang Chen, Yuzhou Wang, Junyu Li

“…This study addresses the gap by analyzing event-related potentials (ERPs) and behavioral decisions in response to smoking social and action cues.MethodsUsing a 2×2 design (social cues: present vs. absent; action cues: present vs. absent), we assessed brand perception, WTP, and N1 and P3 ERP amplitudes in 22 smokers (18 males, mean age 23.14 ± 1.60 years).ResultsResults showed that smoking social cues increased brand perception and WTP while reducing N1 amplitudes, indicating that the presence of smoking social cues interfere with the processing of smoking action stimuli.DiscussionThese findings highlights the importance of avoiding the simultaneous inclusion of social and action cues in anti-smoking advertisements, which also provide valuable insights for smoking cessation research.…”

Area integrity index with random rearrangement (AIIRR): A new concept for quantifying disruptive colorations by Masahiko Tanahashi, Min‐Chen Lin, Chung‐Ping Lin

“…Abstract Disruptive coloration is one of the camouflaging strategies that use conspicuous coloration patterns to destroy the visual integrity of an object and interfere with the observer's visual perception. Such conspicuous coloration often divides the entire shape of the object into multiple areas, increasing the disruption effect. …”

Effects of soluble Klotho and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in vascular calcification in chronic kidney disease model rats and the intervention of Shenyuan granules by Xinrong Zou, Changjiang Wang, Lan Wang, Shenghua Huang, Danfang Deng, Lamei Lin, Xiaoqin Wang

“…Shenyuan granules intervention increased the serum sKlotho level, inhibited the mRNA and protein expression of Wnt1, β-catenin, and Runx2 in the thoracic aorta, and alleviated thoracic aortic media calcification in rats.Conclusion Shenyuan granules may partially regulate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway via serum sKl to interfere with the expression of Runx2, thereby improving vascular calcification in CKD.…”
