Gastrointestinal motility modulation efficacy-related chemical marker findings and QAMS-based quality control of Agastache rugosa.

Agastache rugosa (AR), a traditional edible and medicinal herb, is often used for treating gastrointestinal (GI) motility disorder. But little effort has been done on its gastrointestinal motility modulation (GMM) efficacy-related components and quality control of AR. In this study, a novel strategy was proposed to find GMM efficacy-related chemical markers for the quality control of AR.

High Entropy: A General Strategy for Broadening the Operating Temperature of Magnetic Refrigeration.

Lattice distortion and disorder in the chemical environment of magnetic atoms within high-entropy compounds present intriguing issues in the modulation of magnetic functional compounds. However, the complexity inherent in high-entropy disordered systems has resulted in a relative scarcity of comprehensive investigations exploring the magnetic functional mechanisms of these alloys. Herein, we investigate the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of the high-entropy intermetallic compound GdTbDyHoErCo.

Post-traumatic growth experience of breast cancer patients: A qualitative systematic review and meta-synthesis.

Objectives: This study aimed to systematically incorporate the post-traumatic growth experience of breast cancer patients and furnish insights for the formulation of targeted psychological care measures.

Methods: The search period we were ranged from establishing the database to February 2024. We systematically searched four Chinese databases and seven English databases.

Col1A1 as a new decoder of clinical features and immune microenvironment in ovarian cancer.

Backgrounds: Collagen type I alpha 1 chain (COL1A1) is a key protein encoding fibrillar collagen, playing a crucial role in the tumor microenvironment (TME) due to its complex functions and close association with tumor invasiveness. This has made COL1A1 a focal point in cancer biology research. However, studies investigating the relationship between COL1A1 expression levels and clinical characteristics of ovarian cancer (OC) remain limited.

Structural equation modeling of the impact of disease activity on inflammatory bowel disease control: the mediating roles of self-efficacy and self-management behaviors.

Background: Maintaining effective disease control in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is both a significant goal and challenge. Drawing on the Common-Sense Model of Self-Regulation (CSM) and related research, this study investigates how IBD activity status influences disease control through both direct and indirect pathways.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 310 IBD patients who attended a tertiary general hospital, the leader of the IBD Alliance Group in Chongqing City, between March and August 2024.
