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. …”

Analyzing latent categories of stress, anxiety, and depression in medical students: insights into their psychological resilience by Huang Lei, Huang Lei, Jiang Jiaming, Huang Bin, Yuwen Lyu, Liu Junrong, Lawrence T. Lam, Chen Yufei

“…Male gender and low subjective socio-economic status were unique influencing factors for the high depression group, while left-behind experience was a unique influencing factor for the depression group with insufficient motivation.LimitationsThe explanatory power of cross-sectional studies and non-random sampling is limited, and the universality and misrepresentations of the results need further verification.ConclusionThere was significant group heterogeneity in the manifestations of stress, anxiety, and depression among medical students, and the behavioral response patterns of subgroups with latent categories exhibited cross group characteristics when grouped by the norm. …”
