Acute effects of different percussive massage frequencies on shoulder proprioceptive recovery and upper-limb performance in male artistic gymnasts: a randomized crossover trial
Abstract Purpose: This study compared the acute effects of different percussive massage (PM) frequencies on post-fatigue shoulder proprioceptive recovery, perceived fatigue, range of motion (ROM), and upper-limb explosive performance in high-level male artistic gymnasts. Methods: Fifteen gymnasts completed three recovery conditions in a randomized crossover design: 10 min of seated rest (CTRL), 30 Hz PM, and 60 Hz PM, with a 1-week washout period between sessions.
Confucian ethical spirituality and meaning in life: a longitudinal study of the mediating role of moral identity
Background Meaning in life is a core component of eudaimonic well-being. Dominant spiritual frameworks in psychology are mostly Western-centric and underrepresent Confucian-based ethical spirituality. Confucian Ethical Spirituality (CES) emphasizes moral self-cultivation, relational harmony, and ethical responsibility, yet its longitudinal association with meaning in life and underlying pathways remain unclear.

Association between physical activity and psychological resilience in older adults: an analysis of a prospective cohort study in China
Abstract Background: Although numerous studies have confirmed the mental health benefits of physical activity, evidence on the association between physical activity and psychological resilience—particularly longitudinal evidence that accounts for dynamic patterns of activity change—remains limited. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between physical activity patterns and psychological resilience among older adults in China.

Community governance and nutrition-oriented cancer care for women: policy pathways to reduce survival disparities
Abstract Nutrition is increasingly recognized as a modifiable determinant of treatment tolerance, metabolic health, quality of life, and survivorship outcomes among women with cancer. However, nutrition-oriented cancer care is often delivered as an individual-level clinical recommendation, while many determinants of dietary behavior and nutritional vulnerability arise outside oncology clinics.
Physical self-concept and physical activity avoidance as predictors of adolescent physical activity: evidence from a two-year longitudinal study
Background Insufficient levels of physical activity (PA) among adolescents are increasingly recognized as a public health concern. Physical self-concept (PSC) and PA avoidance have been shown to be closely related to PA participation. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the temporal predictive relationships among these three variables and their dynamic interaction over time.
Editorial: Advanced nanotechnology for integrated diagnosis and treatment
Advanced nanotechnology is increasingly contributing to integrated strategies for disease diagnosis, treatment, and therapeutic monitoring. In conventional biomedical approaches, diagnosis and intervention are often performed as separate procedures. By contrast, nanotechnology-enabled platforms offer opportunities to integrate molecular recognition, biomarker detection, imaging guidance, targeted delivery, and dynamic therapeutic regulation within coordinated systems.

The impact of community-based home care service utilization on intergenerational family support: enhancement or attenuation?
Abstract Introduction: As population aging intensifies, elder care has emerged as a central issue affecting socioeconomic sustainability, social harmony, and stability. The coordinated development of social care and family-based care has become pivotal to addressing the challenges of elder care. The rise of community-based home care services, while bridging gaps in family-provided care, has also exerted far-reaching effects on intergenerational family support.

Callus and endosperm green fluorescence reporter‐assisted selection system in maize CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing - BMC Plant Biology
Abstract Genome editing using CRISPR/Cas9 (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated protein 9) has emerged as a promising approach for functional gene analysis and genetic improvement. Since stable transformation remains the primary method for implementing this system, the ultimate goal in crop breeding programs would require the selection of transgene-free plants with the CRISPR/Cas expression cassette removed.

Large topological Hall effect induced by a field-driven metamagnetic transition in a centrosymmetric antiferromagnetic EuCuSb single crystal
The coupling between topological spin textures and conduction electrons can bring about topological transports in noncentrosymmetric systems with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, such as the topological Hall effect (THE). In this study, we observed a large THE in centrosymmetric antiferromagnetic (AFM) EuCuSb single crystal, which has been confirmed to possess a magnetic ground state characterized by the coexistence of an up-up-down-down AFM phase and an incommensurate helimagnetic phase.

Efficient factored gradient descent algorithm for quantum state tomography
Reconstructing the state of quantum many-body systems is of fundamental importance in quantum information tasks, but extremely challenging due to the curse of dimensionality. In this work, we present an efficient quantum tomography protocol that combines the state-factored with eigenvalue mapping to address the rank-deficient issue and incorporates a momentum-accelerated gradient descent algorithm to speed up the optimization process.
Faithful geometric measures for genuine tripartite entanglement

We first find that the triangle relation holds for all subadditive bipartite entanglement measure , all permutations under parties , all , and all pure tripartite states. Then, we rigorously prove that the nonobtuse triangle area, enclosed by side with , is a measure for genuine tripartite entanglement.
The dynamics analysis of a new wine fermentation model - Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computing
Abstract Fermentation is an indispensable link in wine brewing, and mathematical modeling is an effective means to study fermentation process, which can reveal the characteristics of state variables and help to optimize the control of fermentation process. In this paper, a new model with fractional derivative of the wine fermentation is proposed. The basic properties of the solution and the stability at the equilibrium point of the new model are proved.
Giant electrode effect on tunneling magnetoresistance and electroresistance in van der Waals intrinsic multiferroic tunnel junctions using ${\mathrm{VS}}_{2}$
Van der Waals multiferroic tunnel junctions (vdW-MFTJs) with multiple nonvolatile resistive states are highly suitable for new physics and next-generation storage electronics. However, currently reported vdW-MFTJs are based on two types of materials, i.e., vdW ferromagnetic and ferroelectric materials, forming a multiferroic system. This undoubtedly introduces additional interfaces, increasing the complexity of experimental preparation. Herein, we engineer vdW intrinsic MFTJs utilizing bilayer VS2.
