Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate whether accelerometer-measured light physical activity (LPA) is associated with cognitive function and whether engaging in ≥3 h/day of LPA can reduce the chance of cognitive impairment among a sample of older adults in Taiwan. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING An outpatient department in a medical center. PARTICIPANTS Participants were community-dwelling older adults aged 65 years and older who were able to walk independently from September 2020 to March 2021. MEASUREMENTS A tri-axial accelerometer was used to measure LPA for 7 consecutive days, and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scale was used to assess the chance of cognitive impairment. Multiple linear regression model and binary logistic regression model were performed to examine the association between LPA and MMSE scores. RESULTS 145 older Taiwanese adults (51.7% men; 81.2±6.8 years; 6.9% at chance of cognitive impairment) were included. After adjusting for moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and wear time, we found that there was a significant association between LPA and cognitive function (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.64-1.65; P<0.001), and further found that those who engaged in LPA ≥3 h/day were at reduced chance of cognitive impairment compared with people who engaged in LPA <3 h/day (odds ratio [OR]: 0.16; 95% CI: 0.03-0.80; P=0.025). CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that engaging in LPA ≥3 h/day could be viewed as a protective factor for maintaining cognitive function in older adults. We recommend further longitudinal research to elucidate the association between intensity-specific LPA and cognitive function.

Abstract
A systematic review of histopathology from experimental animal systems is an essential part of up-to-date biomedical research. Pathologists at university hospitals are especially and increasingly challenged by these specialized and time-consuming duties. This article presents and analyzes a new laboratory structure of comparative experimental pathology-jointly lead by veterinary and human pathologists-which might solve this problem. The focus is on the establishment and full integration of this laboratory structure into a local, regional, and nationwide biomedical research cluster. A detailed comparison with an established structure of routine histopathology laboratories discusses merits and benefits as well as disadvantages.

Abstract
Four 2-(styryl)triphenylene derivatives (TSs) were synthesized for deep-blue dopant materials. By using a pyrene-containing compound, DMPPP, as the host, the TS-doped devices exhibited significant delayed fluorescence via triplet-triplet annihilation, providing the highest quantum efficiency of 10.2% and a current efficiency of 12.3 cd A(-1).

Abstract
Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy complicated with brain cardioembolism is rarely documented by both 2-dimensional echocardiography and cranial computed tomography in pediatric patients. A 2-year-old girl developed hemiparalysis 15 months after diagnosis of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. The 2-dimensional echocardiograms of left ventricular thrombi, computed tomographic findings of brain embolism, clinical course, treatment and outcome are presented. Previous reports of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy in children are reviewed.
