Leaf Morpho-Anatomy of Twelve <i>Cymbidium</i> (Orchidaceae) Species from China and Their Taxonomic Significance by Xiangke Hu, Lei Tao, Jialin Huang, Kaifeng Tao, Dong Ma, Lu Li

“…Based on a comparative analysis, some leaf morphological features that varied between species were selected and used for taxonomic differentiation as follows: (1) The shape and structure of leaves were varied and could be used for species delimitation. (2) Microscopic characteristics show that the leaves lacked trichomes and displayed polygonal to rectangular epidermal cells on both surfaces, with larger adaxial cells and more abaxial stigmata. Stomata were mostly distributed only on the abaxial side, but on both sides in <i>Cymbidium mastersii</i>, which exhibited a rare amphistomatic type. …”

Experiences and Perceptions of Chinese Elderly Dry Eye Patients Seeking Health Behavior Management: A Qualitative Study Based on a Health Belief Model by Tang Y, Yi L, Ma Y, Liu Q, Zhang Y, Wang S, Zeng J, Cheng W, Li R

“…Interviews were transcribed verbatim, and themes were coded and extracted using NVivo 14.0.Results: The participants, aged between 60 and 78 years, mostly had mild to moderate levels of dry eye. Based on the theoretical model of the Health Belief Model, five main themes and eleven sub-themes were summarized from the analysis: (a) Perceived threat of disease (Perceived severity, Perceived susceptibility); (b) Perceived benefits (Perceived sense of gain, Improved quality of life); (c) Perceived barriers (Lack of willingness to manage behavior, Insufficient intrinsic motivation, Cognitive misconceptions); (d) Low self-efficacy (Lack of confidence in responding, Negative coping style); (e) Perception of behavioral cues (Lack of external support, Perception of self-management).Conclusion: This study found an interaction between reduced threat perception and inadequate health behavior management in elderly dry eye patients, and future research is needed to develop more specific and feasible intervention programs to encourage patients to move from passive treatment to active management.Keywords: elderly, dry eye disease, health behavior, qualitative research, relevance to clinical practice…”

Observation Analysis and Application Evaluation of Wind Profile Radar to Diagnosing the Boundary Layer of Landing Typhoon by Yan Jiaming, Zhao Bingke, Zhang Shuai, Lin Limin, Tang Jie

“…In addition, because the coastal areas of Zhejiang and Fujian are mostly hilly terrain, the low-level circulation structure of typhoon is destroyed by terrain, which may also be one cause for the poor match of horizontal wind speed.Despite the limited data, wind profile radar shows a very hopeful potential and high validity in the observation and diagnosis of boundary layer even in severe convective weather environment such as typhoon inner core region.…”

Cerium oxide nanoparticles in vivo distribution and transformation behavior mediate intestinal transit function by Chunli Lei, Rui Liang, Bingxu Cheng, Le Yue, Xuesong Cao, Chuanxi Wang, Zhenyu Wang, Baoshan Xing

“…This work showed the distribution in vivo, and the potential biochemical mechanisms in Ce3 + /Ce4+ electron conversion mediated the elimination of reactive oxygen species (ROS) with the co-involvement of intestinal microbes after CeO2 NPs (10 mg/kg·bw/day, 28 days) continuous ingestion in mice. CeO2 NPs can be mostly excreted in feces (51.49 %), yet the rest existed at different levels in all tissues, and with the highest levels in digestive tissues (stomach (36.78 %) and intestine (4.44 %)). …”
