The Relationship Between Defensive Pessimism, Goal Orientation, and Self-Esteem Among Nursing Students.

Introduction: Academic achievement in nursing students is significantly influenced by their self-esteem and goal orientation. Defensive pessimism, a strategy where students set low expectations to prepare for potential failure, helps them stay motivated and focused. While this cognitive strategy can boost effort and performance, its relationship with self-esteem and goal orientation remains underexplored among nursing students, revealing a gap in understanding how these factors interact to influence academic success.

Sesamol Alleviated Lipotoxicity-Induced Dysfunction in MIN6 Cells via Facilitating Cellular Senescence Caused by Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress.

Obesity is found to be a significant risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), attributed to lipotoxicity-induced β-cell dysfunction. However, the specific mechanism involved in the process remains incompletely unclarified. The current study demonstrated lipotoxicity resulted in the activation of ER stress, which increased the protein level of TXNIP, thereby inducing senescence-assiciated dysfunction in MIN6 cells under high fat environment.

Clinical and Biochemical Analysis of Glutamate-Cysteine Ligase Deficiency Presented with Late-Onset Spinocerebellar Ataxia and Hemolytic Anemia.

Introduction: Glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit (GCLC), previously known as gamma-glutamyl-cysteine synthetase, is an essential rate-limiting step in glutathione synthesis. Glutathione modulates multitudes of critical cellular processes and scavenges free radicals. Its deficiency is reported to cause hemolysis of variable severity and is a rare cause of neurological abnormalities such as spinocerebellar ataxia.

Light-Activated Artificial CO-Reductase: Structure and Activity.

Light-dependent reduction of carbon dioxide (CO) into value-added products can be catalyzed by a variety of molecular complexes. Here we report a rare example of a structurally characterized artificial enzyme, resulting from the combination of a heme binding protein, heme oxygenase, with cobalt-protoporphyrin IX, with good activity for the photoreduction of CO to carbon monoxide (CO). Using a copper-based photosensitizer, thus making the photosystem free of noble metals, a large turnover frequency value of ∼616 h, a turnover value of ∼589, after 3 h reaction, and a CO vs H selectivity of 72% were obtained, establishing a record among previously reported artificial CO reductases.
