Effect of Cue-Based Feeding on the Feeding Outcomes of Preterm Infants: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objective: To systematically evaluate the effect of cue-based feeding (CBF) on feeding outcomes in preterm infants.

Methods: Databases including CNKI, Wanfang, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL and Cochrane Library were searched from the database's inception to November 2023. The literature screening and quality assessment were conducted by two researchers independently, and a meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager (RevMan) 5.

Oriented Cortical-Bone-Like Silk Protein Lamellae Effectively Repair Large Segmental Bone Defects in Pigs.

Assembling natural proteins into large, strong, bone-mimetic scaffolds for repairing bone defects in large-animal load-bearing sites remain elusive. Here this challenge is tackled by assembling pure silk fibroin (SF) into 3D scaffolds with cortical-bone-like lamellae, superior strength, and biodegradability through freeze-casting. The unique lamellae promote the attachment, migration, and proliferation of tissue-regenerative cells (e.

Exposure profiles, determinants, and health risks of chemicals in personal care products among healthy older adults from the China BAPE study.

Personal care products (PCPs) are ubiquitously present in the environment, and the associated health risks have been increasingly concerned worldwide. However, knowledge regarding exposure assessments of older adults to these chemicals and their health risks remains largely limited. In the present study, five repeated surveys involving 76 healthy older adults in Jinan, Shandong Province, were performed to quantify urinary exposure levels of 14 chemicals in PCPs.

OsCYP22 Interacts With OsCSN5 to Affect Rice Root Growth and Auxin Signalling.

Beyond structural support, plant root systems play crucial roles in the absorption of water and nutrients, fertiliser efficiency and crop yield. However, the molecular mechanism regulating root architecture in rice remains largely unknown. In this study, a short-root rice mutant was identified and named Oscyp22.

Migrasomes derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells: a new therapeutic agent for ovalbumin-induced asthma in mice.

Background: Asthma is a prevalent respiratory disease, and its management remains largely unsatisfactory. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been demonstrated to be efficacious in reducing airway inflammation in experimental allergic diseases, representing a potential alternative treatment for asthma. Migrasomes are recently identified extracellular vesicles (EVs) generated in migrating cells and facilitate intercellular communication.
