Evaluation of the Sensory Stimulation Intensity of Representative Spicy Flavor Substances Using Whole-Body Plethysmography by LIU Fuqiang, GUO Lulu, MAO Jian, CHAI Guobi, ZHANG Qidong, ZHANG Wenjuan, LIU Xingyu, ZHANG Tianbing, XIE Jiqing, XIE Jianping

“…Changes in various respiratory function indicators of rats inhaling different concentrations of two representative spicy substances, capsaicin and nicotine, were monitored in real time using an unrestrained whole-body plethysmograph system fitted with a nebulized drug delivery device. The results demonstrated that sensory stimulation of capsaicin and nicotine elicited similar respiratory patterns, which were manifested by an enhancement of respiratory rhythm at low concentrations and a suppression of respiration at high concentrations. …”

Effect of Static Balance Ability on Dual-Task Costs Under Different Walking TaskInterventions in Chinese Older Adults by WANG Chenglong, NIE Mingjian, XIAO Chenhui, WU Yini, WANG Jingjing

“…Under the dual-task intervention condition, compared to the low-balance group, the high-balance group exhibited an increase in single support time cost (0.35% vs. -1.51%, P=0.019) and swing time cost (0.33% vs. -1.20%, P=0.044), along with a reduction in stride frequency cost (-0.85% vs. 0.14%, P=0.042).ConclusionsWhile dual-task conditions generally impair gait parameters in older adults, individuals with higher balance abilities maintain more stable gait patterns during motor dual-tasks, demonstrating greater resilience to interference. …”

“…<h4>Conclusions</h4>There are increased rates of stressful life events in MDD with dysthymia, but the impact of life events on susceptibility to dysthymia with MDD differs from that seen for MDD alone. The pattern does not fit a simple dose-response relationship, suggesting that there are moderating factors involved in the relationship between environmental precipitants and the onset of dysthymia. …”
