Adjusting on-scene CPR duration based on transport time interval in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a nationwide multicenter study.

The optimal duration of on-scene cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients remains uncertain. Determining this critical time period requires outweighing the potential risks associated with intra-arrest transport while minimizing delays in accessing definitive hospital-based treatments. This study evaluated the association between on-scene CPR duration and 30-day neurologically favorable survival based on the transport time interval (TTI) in patients with OHCA.

Effect of Combining Exercise with Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Muscle Atrophy Model of Sarcopenia.

Deterioration in muscle mass, strength, and physical performance due to conditions such as sarcopenia can affect daily activities and quality of life in the elderly. Exercise and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are potential therapies for sarcopenia. This study evaluates the combined effects of exercise and adipose-derived MSCs (ADMSCs) in aged rats with sarcopenia.

Restoration of Sestrin 3 Expression Mitigates Cardiac Oxidative Damage in Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Model.

Cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) occurs when blood flow is restored to the myocardium after a period of ischemia, leading to oxidative stress and subsequent myocardial cell damage, primarily due to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In our previous research, we identified that miR-25 is significantly overexpressed in pressure overload-induced heart failure, and its inhibition improves cardiac function by restoring the expression of SERCA2a, a key protein involved in calcium regulation. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of miR-25 in the context of ischemia-reperfusion injury.

The Long-Term Immunity of a Microneedle Array Patch of a SARS-CoV-2 S1 Protein Subunit Vaccine Irradiated by Gamma Rays in Mice.

Background/objectives: COVID-19 vaccines effectively prevent severe disease, but unequal distribution, especially in low- and middle-income countries, has led to vaccine-resistant strains. This highlights the urgent need for alternative vaccine platforms that are safe, thermostable, and easy to distribute. This study evaluates the immunogenicity, stability, and scalability of a dissolved microneedle array patch (MAP) delivering the rS1RS09 subunit vaccine, comprising the SARS-CoV-2 S1 monomer and RS09, a TLR-4 agonist peptide.

Specificity of Amino Acid Profiles Produced in Soybean Fermentations by Three spp.

We compared the salt tolerance and proteolytic activity of 120 strains of each of , , and . Most strains exhibited growth in 12% (w/v) NaCl and showed proteolytic activity in 10% or 11% NaCl. The majority of strains grew in 14% NaCl and showed proteolytic activity in 12% or 13% NaCl.
