Abstract Background: Amid the global rise in adolescent sedentary behavior and psychological distress, extant research has largely focused on variable-level associations, neglecting symptom-level interactions. This study applies network analysis, aims to delineate the interconnections among sedentary time, social support, social exclusion, and psychological distress in Chinese students, and to identify core and bridge symptoms to inform targeted interventions. Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design to investigate the complex relationships among sedentary behavior, social support, social exclusion, and psychological distress among Chinese students. The research involved 459 high school and university students, using network analysis and mediation… More >

Abstract To address the issues of frequent identity switches (IDs) and degraded identification accuracy in multi object tracking (MOT) under complex occlusion scenarios, this study proposes an occlusion-robust tracking framework based on face-pedestrian joint feature modeling. By constructing a joint tracking model centered on “intra-class independent tracking + cross-category dynamic binding”, designing a multi-modal matching metric with spatio-temporal and appearance constraints, and innovatively introducing a cross-category feature mutual verification mechanism and a dual matching strategy, this work effectively resolves performance degradation in traditional single-category tracking methods caused by short-term occlusion, cross-camera tracking, and crowded environments.

Abstract Background: Shift-based occupations have been consistently linked to adverse psychological outcomes; however, limited research has examined how work schedule type and physical activity are jointly associated with mental health and job stress in public transportation employees, a population frequently exposed to irregular hours and safety-critical responsibilities. This study investigated the associations between work schedule type and physical activity with mental health indicators and job stress among Seoul Metro employees. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was administered to 298 full-time male employees of Seoul Metro. Participants were categorized by work schedule (shift vs. regular) and physical activity level… More >

Abstract Background: Considering the limited evidence for acute postoperative nutritional therapy for congenital heart disease (CHD), this study evaluated the effects of achieving enteral nutrition (EN) targets in the acute postoperative phase on clinical outcomes in infants after congenital heart surgery. Methods: This retrospective cohort study, conducted in a multivalent pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), enrolled infants aged ≤6 months following congenital heart surgery between April 2021 and March 2023. Based on the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition guidelines, the EN target was defined as two-thirds of the resting energy expenditure with a protein intake… More >

Abstract Objectives: Fear of recurrence (FoR) is a common psychological burden in cerebral glioma patients. Spousal emotional support and self-disclosure may help mitigate FoR, yet their roles in this population are unclear. This study aimed to explore the association between FoR, spousal emotional support, and self-disclosure in patients with cerebral glioma. Methods: Patients with cerebral glioma were assessed using the Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form (FoP-Q-SF), Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), Distress Disclosure Index (DDI), and Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ). Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to examine the relationships among the scale scores, while multiple linear… More >

Abstract Background: Studies have indicated an association between inflammatory factors (IFs) in the blood and the development of bladder cancer (BC). This study aimed to explore the correlation and clinical significance of IFs with the pathological grading of BC. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the preoperative blood routine results, postoperative pathological findings, and baseline information of 163 patients. Patients were divided into high-grade and low-grade groups based on pathological grading. Group comparisons and logistic regression analyses were performed using R software version 4.1.3 to explore the relationships between IFs and BC pathological grading. Results: The… More >

Abstract Objective: Urothelial carcinoma (UC) remains a prevalent malignancy with high recurrence and chemoresistance rates despite gemcitabine-cisplatin (GC) chemotherapy. The study aimed to identify clinical risk factors for chemoresistance in advanced UC patients and develop a predictive model. Method: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 375 UC patients who received postoperative GC chemotherapy between 2013 and 2024. Patients were categorized into chemotherapy-resistant (CR, n = 91) and non-chemotherapy resistant (NCR, n = 284) groups based on tumor progression. Clinical, pathological, and laboratory variables were compared using t-tests and chi-square tests. Kaplan-Meier assessed overall survival (OS), and binary More >

Abstract Multiple Object Tracking (MOT) is essential for applications such as autonomous driving, surveillance, and analytics; However, challenges such as occlusion, low-resolution imaging, and identity switches remain persistent. We propose HAMOT, a hierarchical adaptive multi-object tracker that solves these challenges with a novel, unified framework. Unlike previous methods that rely on isolated components, HAMOT incorporates a Swin Transformer-based Adaptive Enhancement (STAE) module—comprising Scene-Adaptive Transformer Enhancement and Confidence-Adaptive Feature Refinement—to improve detection under low-visibility conditions. The hierarchical Dynamic Graph Neural Network with Temporal Attention (DGNN-TA) models both short- and long-term associations, and the Adaptive Unscented Kalman Filter… More >

Abstract This study evaluated agro-morphological traits, grain quality traits, and phenotypic stability of nine soybean genotypes across four environments over two growing seasons (2022–2023). Traits such as days to flowering, days to maturity, and disease symptoms were monitored throughout the season. At maturity, parameters including grain yield, grain oil and protein content, 1000-seed weight, test weight, scores of lodgings, shattering, plant height, and first pod height were evaluated. In addition, 18 morphological traits were scored, of which eight were sufficiently variable for further analysis. In terms of environmental stability, genotypes 2 and 13 excelled, while genotypes… More >
