Physiological and molecular responses of coelomocytes to low- to mid-frequency acoustic exposure in the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus intermedius.
Underwater noise is a widespread environmental pollutant in marine ecosystems, yet the effects of low- to mid-frequency acoustic exposure on immune physiology and molecular responses in echinoderms remain unclear. In this study, the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus intermedius was exposed to continuous pure-tone acoustic stimulation at 80, 125, 250, 500, 750, and 1000 Hz for 3 h. Results showed that acoustic exposure significantly affected redox homeostasis, energy metabolism, and immune function in S. intermedius coelomocytes: the antioxidant system and glutathione redox balance were altered, as indicated by increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities, elevated reduced glutathione (GSH) content, and a higher GSH/GSSG ratio; glycolysis-related enzyme activities were enhanced, with increased pyruvate kinase (PK) activity under 125-500 Hz exposure and elevated hexokinase (HK) activity at 250 Hz; and immune function was impaired, as shown by increased coelomocyte mortality, reduced phagocytic activity, and inhibited acid phosphatase (ACP) and alkaline phosphatase (AKP) activities, whereas respiratory burst activity showed no significant change. Among all treatments, 250 Hz induced the most pronounced physiological responses. Transcriptomic analysis of coelomocytes from the 250 Hz group identified 663 differentially expressed genes, including 537 upregulated and 126 downregulated genes, mainly enriched in pathways related to apoptosis, phagosome, lysosome, glutathione metabolism, arachidonic acid metabolism, and carbohydrate metabolism. These findings indicate that low- to mid-frequency acoustic exposure can act as a physiological and molecular stressor to S. intermedius coelomocytes by affecting redox homeostasis, enhancing energy metabolism, and suppressing immune effector processes, with 250 Hz showing the strongest effect under the present exposure conditions. This study provides experimental evidence for evaluating the potential biological effects of low- to mid-frequency acoustic exposure on benthic echinoderms.
Multi‑omics approaches to decipher the molecular mechanisms of exercise‑mediated bone protection: From mechanistic insights to personalized exercise prescription (Review).
The global burden of bone metabolic disorders necessitates a shift from generic exercise recommendations toward personalized prescription strategies. Exercise confers skeletal protection through mechanotransduction, yet the underlying molecular networks remain incompletely understood. Multi‑omics technologies, including transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and single‑cell spatial approaches, have revolutionized the capacity to decode exercise‑mediated bone adaptation at the systems level. The present review synthesizes current single‑omics landscapes and integrative multi‑omics analyses that elucidate the core regulatory networks, mechanobiological coupling mechanisms and multiorgan crosstalk that are implicated in the bone response to mechanical loading. Translational applications across clinical scenarios such as osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and disuse bone loss are evaluated, and the technical, analytical and translational challenges limiting clinical implementation are addressed. Finally, the present review provides a framework for translating multi‑omics molecular signatures into personalized exercise prescriptions for optimized skeletal health.
Communication crossroads: Exploring generational dynamics in nursing from the bedside to the boardroom.
Nurses have up to four times more patient contact than physicians, positioning them as central drivers of communication in health care. Effective communication directly influences patient outcomes, teamwork, staff engagement, and the overall care experience. Today's nurses operate within a highly diverse environment that includes four generations in the workforce and up to eight generations of patients, each with distinct values, expectations, and communication preferences. This article examines how generational differences shape communication across three key relational domains: peer-to-peer, nurse-to-patient, and nurse-to-leader interactions, and offers insights to strengthen collaboration, engagement, and quality of care.

Does future-oriented imagery rescripting increase willingness to carry out a social anxiety-related behavioral experiment? An extended replication.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Mental images of threat are common in social anxiety disorder and could impede exposure to fear-relevant situations. Landkroon et al. (2022) found that imagery rescripting of anticipated future threat, compared to no-task, increases willingness of non-clinical individuals to conduct a social anxiety-related behavioral experiment. The aim of this two-day preregistered extended replication study was to examine whether the effects persist beyond the intervention session by scheduling the behavioral experiment 1-7 days after the intervention. METHODS: On Day 1, 60 pre-screened participants were asked to design a behavioral experiment to test an idiosyncratic negative belief about a feared social situation. They were then randomly assigned to imagery rescripting (focused on their worst feared outcome of the behavioral experiment) or no-task. Participants' willingness to do the behavioral experiment and their threat beliefs was measured. On Day 2, they were asked to carry out the behavioral experiment. RESULTS: The imagery rescripting group, compared to the control group, did not show increased willingness or compliance to do the behavioral experiment on Day 1 or 2. Furthermore, the imagery rescripting did not lead to greater reductions in threat beliefs on either day. LIMITATIONS: The quality of the imagery rescripting intervention was not assessed, and given the brief nature of the intervention, any effects may have dissipated before participants decided whether to carry out the behavioral experiment. CONCLUSIONS: There was no evidence that imagery rescripting leads to changes in willingness or compliance to do a fear-relevant behavioral experiment. More research is needed to examine interventions that can enhance exposure in socially anxious people.

Relationships among mechanisms in psychosocial treatments for chronic pain: mechanism to mechanism lagged effects and relationships with outcomes.
Results suggest that psychosocial treatments for chronic pain work via several mechanisms, and that they often do so to similar degrees and in similar ways. Extant research, however, has focused on individual and/or independent effects of mechanisms on outcomes. Whether successful outcomes are also partly because of sequential and meaningful relationships among and between mechanisms-mechanism-to-mechanism effects-has not been examined. Secondary analyses were conducted of an RCT that compared cognitive therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and behavior therapy to treatment as usual in a sample (N = 521) of people with chronic low back pain. Results of hierarchical linear modeling revealed that (1) Treatment Condition × Mechanism interactions predicting changes in other mechanisms were nonsignificant; (2) lagged prior session mechanism changes predicted next session changes in another mechanism; (3) lagged relationships between pain catastrophizing and pain self-efficacy were reciprocal, whereas links between lagged pain catastrophizing and mindfulness changes and lagged pain catastrophizing changes and behavioral activation changes were unidirectional; and (4) individual differences in the strengths of mechanism-to-mechanism relationships predicted pre- to post-treatment changes in outcomes. Results reveal heretofore hidden therapeutic processes that cognitive therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and behavior therapy may share. Namely, that mechanism-to-mechanism lagged effects do indeed emerge beyond mechanism-to-outcome effects. Findings show not only that mechanisms may change in definable sequences relative to each other but that individual differences in the strengths of mechanism-to-mechanism relationships may themselves be predictive of outcomes.

Reported exposure to news portrayals about mental health problems and their impact: Findings from the 2025 National Survey of Stigma and Discrimination.
OBJECTIVE: Media portrayals of people with mental illness have the power to mitigate or perpetuate stigma related to mental health. This study aimed to investigate reported real-world exposure to news media portrayals about people with mental health problems in the past 12 months and the impact of these. METHODS: Data were from a nationally representative survey of 6032 Australians exploring attitudes towards people with mental health problems. Participants were asked about their exposure to positive news stories about a person with a mental health problem, as well as negative portrayals, in which someone was harmed by a person with a mental health problem. Further questions covered the sources (traditional or social media) and impact of these exposures. RESULTS: Regression models were used to explore sociodemographic predictors of impact. Most participants reported exposure to negative news portrayals (68.4%, 95% confidence interval = [66.9, 69.8]), while fewer reported exposure to positive news stories (33.7%, 95% confidence interval = [32.3, 35.2]). Most people exposed to the negative news stories reported a negative impact (69.0%, 95% confidence interval = [67.2, 70.7]), and most exposed to positive news stories reported a positive impact (80.2%, 95% confidence interval = [77.6, 82.5]). Age and gender were associated with reported impact but not lived experience of mental illness. CONCLUSIONS: Exposure to negative news stories about mental health problems was prevalent. Given their impact on news audiences broadly, negative news stories need to be accurate and responsible to mitigate negative impacts. A renewed focus on generating and promoting positive and stigma-challenging news stories is needed to increase subsequent positive impacts.
SGLF-Net:Staged Global-to-Local Cross-Scale Fusion Network for Colonoscopic Polyp Segmentation.
Polyp segmentation in colonoscopy images plays a pivotal role in computer-aided medical diagnosis and the early prevention of colorectal cancer. However, existing methods often suffer from performance degradation when confronted with extreme polyp scale variation and polyp boundary ambiguity. To address these challenges, we propose the Staged Global-to-Local Cross-Scale Fusion Network (SGLF-Net), which adopts a novel staged global-to-local learning paradigm to progressively refine segmentation from coarse global semantics to fine-grained local details. Specifically, the Global Semantic Perception Stage integrates a Swin Transformer Encoder and a Dynamic Attentive Decoder (DAD) to construct comprehensive multi-scale contextual representations. The Local Detail Refinement Stage employs an Edge-aware Dynamic Attentive Decoder (E-DAD) to enhance structural fidelity and boundary precision through explicit edge-guided supervision. Furthermore, we introduce the Cross Spatial-Scale Feature Aggregation and Reconstitution (CSSAR) module, equipped with hybrid attention mechanisms, to facilitate efficient semantic structural interaction between the two cascaded stages. Extensive experiments on five public benchmark datasets demonstrate that SGLF-Net consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods in both segmentation accuracy and boundary preservation.
