Dry eye disease (DED) is a kind of multifactorial ocular surface disease that displays ocular discomfort, visual disturbance, and tear film instability. Oxidative stress is a fundamental pathogenesis in DED. An imbalance between the reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and protective enzyme action will lead to oxidative stress, cell dysfunction, tear hyperosmolarity, and inflammation.

Dry eye disease (DED) is a chronic multifactorial ocular surface disease mainly caused by the instability of tear film, characterized by a series of ocular discomforts and even visual disorders. Oxidative stress has been recognized as an upstream factor in DED development. Diquafosol sodium (DQS) is an agonist of the P2Y receptor to restore the integrity/stability of the tear film.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to understand the experiences of patients after they were discharged from needing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support.
  • - Thirteen patients participated in semi-structured interviews, revealing four key themes: changes in physical abilities, mental health shifts, adapting to daily life, and significant rehabilitation needs.
  • - The findings suggest a need for tailored support and rehabilitation for discharged patients, and advocate for government action to improve reimbursement rates for ECMO treatment to enhance their quality of life.

Objective: To investigate the willingness of Ganzhou residents to participate in "Internet + Nursing services" and analyse the relevant influencing factors.

Methods: From May to June 2021, 426 Ganzhou residents were surveyed using an Internet + Nursing services questionnaire and the relevant influencing factors were analysed. The questionnaire comprised two parts: demographic characteristic section and a questionnaire on residents' willingness to participate in Internet + Nursing services including for dimensions (awareness, participation, trust and need), a 5-point Likert scale was used.

Background: To provide an economical and practical defibrillator for first aid teaching and training, to reduce the cost of teaching and training, increase teaching and training equipment, provide trainees with more hands-on training sessions, and improve first aid capabilities.

Methods: Developing a special teaching defibrillator with the same structure and operation configuration as the clinical medical emergency defibrillator. The appearance, structure and operating accessories of the two defibrillators are the same.

The chloroplast being an important organelle of plant cells could possibly be associated with plant cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS). To better understand the correlation between (CMS) and chloroplast, we presented a comprehensive analysis based on the changes of photosynthetic parameters, chloroplasts ultrastructure, soluble sugar and starch content, the relative expression of sugar and starch metabolism genes, and chloroplast genome in rice isonuclear alloplasmic CMS lines at the flowering stage. Leaf gas exchange parameters did not affect by CMS lines (M2BS and M2A), although intercellular CO concentration (C ) was influenced in both M2BS and M2A.

Painful diabetic polyneuropathy (PDN) at the early phrase of diabetes frequently exhibits increased responsiveness to nociception. In diabetic patients and animal models, alterations in the transmission of orofacial sensory information have been demonstrated in trigeminal system. Herein, we examined the changes of protein kinase Cγ subunit (PKCγ) in trigeminal spinal nucleus (Sp5C) and observed the development of orofacial thermal sensitivity in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 diabetic mice.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) causes acute and chronic hepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) and lamivudine have been shown to have anti-HBV effects through different mechanisms. However, assessment of the genome-wide effects of siRNA and lamivudine on HBV-producing cell lines has not been reported, which may provide a clue to interrogate the HBV-cell interaction and to evaluate the siRNA's side effect as a potential drug.
