Microplastics (MPs) have emerged as hazardous substances, eliciting widespread concern regarding their potential toxicity. Although our previous research has indicated that polystyrene MPs (PS-MPs) might cause male reproductive toxicity in mammals, their precise effects on sperm motility parameters and acrosomal development remain uncertain. Herein, the effects on sperm motility of PS-MPs at varied particle sizes (0.

Objectives: This study aimed to elucidate the influences of 1p/19q co-deletion on structural connectivity alterations in patients with dominant hemisphere insular diffuse gliomas.
Methods: We incorporated 32 cases of left insular gliomas and 20 healthy controls for this study. Using diffusion MRI, we applied correlational tractography, differential tractography, and graph theoretical analysis to explore the potential connectivity associated with 1p/19q co-deletion.
Aims: This study aimed to investigate the current status of decent work among psychiatric nurses and analyze its influencing factors.
Methods: In February 2024, a cross-sectional study was conducted with a cluster sample of 358 nurses from a tertiary Grade A psychiatric hospital in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. Data were collected using a custom-made nurse demographic scale to gather demographic information.
Background: Nurses often face challenges such as inadequate welfare protection, injustice, and workplace adversity including violence, bullying, and sexual harassment. In this context, providing sufficient support to nurses is crucial for the promotion of their professional well-being. This study examines the direct and indirect effects of perceived organizational support on nurses' well-being, particularly highlighting the mediating roles of professional quality of life and the perception of decent work.

Methods: We collected 62 insular glioma patients, who were subsequently categorized into glioma-related epilepsy (GRE) and glioma with no epilepsy (GnE) groups, and recruited 16 healthy individuals matched to the patient's age and gender to form the healthy control (HC) group. Graph theoretical analysis was applied to reveal differences in sensorimotor, default mode, visual, and executive networks among different subgroups.
Objective: The study aimed to identify if clinical features and survival outcomes of insular glioma patients are associated with our classification based on the tumor spread.
Methods: Our study included 283 consecutive patients diagnosed with histological grade 2 and 3 insular gliomas. A new classification was proposed, and tumors restricted to the paralimbic system were defined as type 1.
Cadmium ion (Cd) stress is a major abiotic stressor affecting plant photosynthesis. However, the impact of sustained high-concentration Cd stress on the photosynthetic electron transport chain of aquatic plants is currently unclear. Here, prompt fluorescence (PF), delayed fluorescence (DF), and P700 signals were simultaneously measured to investigate the effect of Cd stress on photosynthesis in water dropwort [ (Blume) DC.

To examine the factors that contribute to patient delays among individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and offer insights to help develop specific risk management strategies. Conducted as a cross-sectional study between September 2021 and April 2022, this study used a convenient sampling technique to select 245 individuals diagnosed with CKD from a Grade 3 Class A hospital located in Shanxi Province. These individuals were chosen as the subjects of the study.

Purpose: This study aims to determine if preoperative CST shape metrics correlate with postoperative motor complications in insular LGG patients.
Study Type: Retrospective.
Aim: This study aimed to assess the potential mediating roles of nurses' job satisfaction and burnout in the association between decent work and turnover intention.
Background: There is a global challenge of nursing shortages in healthcare systems worldwide. Decent work is crucial for safeguarding the rights and professional development outcomes of nurses.
Objectives: This study aims to explore the relationship between the methylation levels of the O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter and the structural connectivity in insular gliomas across hemispheres.
Methods: We analyzed 32 left and 29 right insular glioma cases and 50 healthy controls, using differential tractography, correlational tractography, and graph theoretical analysis to investigate the correlation between structural connectivity and the methylation level.
Results: The differential tractography results revealed that in left insular glioma, the volume of affected inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus (IFOF, p = 0.
The 3-succinate-30-stearyl glycyrrhetinic acid(18-GA-Suc) was inserted into glycyrrhetinic acid(GA)-tanshinone Ⅱ_A(TSN)-salvianolic acid B(Sal B) liposome(GTS-lip) to prepare liver targeting compound liposome(Suc-GTS-lip) mediated by GA receptors. Next, pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of Suc-GTS-lip and GTS-lip were compared by UPLC, and in vivo imaging tracking of Suc-GTS-lip was conducted. The authors investigated the effect of Suc-GTS-lip on the proliferation inhibition of hepatic stellate cells(HSC) and explored their molecular mechanism of improving liver fibrosis.
