Background Organ donation improves patient survival and quality of life, yet family refusal is a major barrier. This study aimed to explore the role of family discussions in shaping attitudes and decisions about organ donation in China, while also examining the influencing factors at the individual, family, community and societal levels. Method Participatory interviews with family members were conducted based on the social-ecological model (SEM). A snowball sampling strategy was adopted to recruit volunteer interviewers. Of 52 interviewers, 25 completed the family group interviews, involving 94 participants in total. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim within 24 hours. Two researchers coded the data in line with SEM. Themes were identified through an inductive process. Results Four themes were identified out of family discussions about deceased organ donation: (i) individual perceptions on the value of lives and organ donation (value of organ donation, death attitudes, knowledge about organ donation), (ii) family consensus and conflicts (family structure, family altruism), (iii) collective conformity (conformity, individualism, negativity bias) and (IV) culture and social environment (traditional beliefs, incentive policy, education, media promotion). Conclusion This study is the first to systematically examine the factors influencing deceased organ donation in the Chinese family context. Obtaining family consent for organ donation appears to be challenging in Chinese families due to limited knowledge and traditional beliefs. Incentive policies that benefit the family are crucial. While media promotion is effective in increasing awareness of organ donation, education and family discussions are critical in alleviating fears and misunderstandings about deceased organ donation.

Migraine is a chronic and idiopathic disorder leading to cognitive and affective problems. However, the neural basis of migraine without aura is still unclear. In this study, dynamic amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations analyses were performed in 21 patients with migraine without aura and 21 gender- and age-matched healthy controls to identify the voxel-level abnormal functional dynamics. Significantly decreased dALFF in the bilateral anterior insula, bilateral lateral orbitofrontal cortex, bilateral medial prefrontal cortex, bilateral anterior cingulate cortex, and left middle frontal cortex were found in patients with migraine without aura. The dALFF values in the anterior cingulate cortex were negatively correlated with pain intensity, i.e., visual analog scale. Finally, support vector machine was used to classify patients with migraine without aura from healthy controls and achieved an accuracy of 83.33%, sensitivity of 90.48%, and specificity of 76.19%. Our findings provide the evidence that migraine influences the brain functional activity dynamics and reveal the neural basis for migraine, which could facilitate understanding the neuropathology of migraine and future treatment.

This article begins with a brief review of the reception history of Bonhoeffer's thought in mainland China. Since 1992, academic circles in mainland China have begun translating, disseminating, and researching Bonhoeffer's works, but these activities have primarily focused on his late works, particularly studies of his Ethics and Resistance and Submission: Letters and Papers from Prison. The article argues that the key concept of" this-worldliness" in Bonhoeffer's entire body of thought deserves greater attention from researchers, and that studies of his late thought should be conducted while emphasizing the coherence of his ideas. Additionally, this article introduces the latest developments in Bonhoeffer studies within the Chinese-speaking world, including the published biography of Bonhoeffer written by Christiane Tietz and the author's ongoing translation of Dietrich Bonhoeffer Werke.

The various ethnic groups in the East entered the civilization period relatively early, but the process of development and change was very slow. The Eastern ethnic groups have inherited and continued the production methods, customs, social structures, ethical systems, and religious and cultural beliefs of the primitive period, while primitive thinking has a certain degree of decisive role in the aesthetic and artistic creation of Eastern art. This article aims to trace the origin of Eastern art, enhance the understanding and cognition of the aesthetic characteristics, aesthetic identification, and artistic presentation characteristics of Eastern art history. Only by correctly understanding and recognizing the dialectical relationship between Eastern art aesthetics and artistic presentation can Western scholars correct their misreading of the development of Eastern art history. At the same time, it can strengthen the rational cognition and inheritance of Eastern ethnic groups towards their own artistic culture, and promote the active construction of the national characteristics of Eastern art.
