Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of the Association Between Malnutrition and Risk of Depression in the Elderly.

Objective: To explore the association between malnutrition and risk of depression in the elderly.

Methods: Relevant studies were searched in PubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Embase from the establishment of the database to August 17, 2023. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and evaluated the risk of bias in the included studies.

Overexpression of a plasmalemma Na/H antiporter from the halophyte Nitraria sibirica enhances the salt tolerance of transgenic poplar.

The plasmalemma Na/H antiporter Salt Overly Sensitive 1 (SOS1) is responsible for the efflux of Na from the cytoplasm, an important determinant of salt resistance in plants. In this study, an ortholog of SOS1, referred to as NsSOS1, was cloned from Nitraria sibirica, a typical halophyte that grows in deserts and saline-alkaline land, and its expression and function in regulating the salt tolerance of forest trees were evaluated. The expression level of NsSOS1 was higher in leaves than in roots and stems of N.

Overexpression of high affinity K transporter from Nitraria sibirica enhanced salt tolerance of transgenic plants.

Nitraria sibirica Pall is a halophytic shrub growing in desert steppe zones. It exhibits extraordinary adaptability to saline-alkali soil, drought, and sand burial. In this study, the high-affinity K transporter NsHKT1 was identified and found to play a key role in salt tolerance in N.

Synergistically Coupled Ni/CeO@C Electrocatalysts for the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction: Remarkable Performance to Pt/C at High Current Density.

Incredibly active electrocatalysts comprising earth-abundant materials that operate as effectively as noble metal catalysts are essential for the sustainable generation of hydrogen through water splitting. However, the vast majority of active catalysts are produced via complicated synthetic processes, making scale-up considerably tricky. In this work, a facile strategy is developed to synthesize superhydrophilic Ni/CeO nanoparticles (NPs) integrated into porous carbon (Ni/CeO@C) by a simple two-step synthesis strategy as efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysts in 1.

Predictors of job burnout among Chinese nurses: a systematic review based on big data analysis.

Job burnout is an occupational hazard induced by prolonged exposure to excessive work-related stress -a state of physical or emotional exhaustion that also involves a sense of reduced accomplishment and loss of personal identity. Knowledge jobs involve many health-promoting features, but stress and burnout may be caused by the rapid increase in the knowledge intensity of work, new job demands, and emerging new professional subcultures emphasizing the excessive commitment to work. Although there are studies on job burnout and predictors among nurses worldwide, evidence specific to Chinese nurses is lacking.

Intervention effect of encouraging mental and programmed nursing of patients in interventional operating room on their compliance and bad moods.

Background: Patients' lack of correct understanding of cardiovascular disease and interventional therapy is often accompanied by varying degrees of fear, depression and anxiety. Negative emotion will affect the hemodynamic fluctuation of patients undergoing interventional surgery, which is not conducive to the smooth and safe operation of interventional surgery. Therefore, it is very important to implement effective nursing intervention in the operating room.

Parental hesitancy towards vaccinating their children with a booster dose against COVID-19: Real-world evidence from Taizhou, China.

Introduction: Parental vaccine-hesitancy can lead to delays or refusal to vaccinate children despite the availability of vaccines. This is a population-based, cross-sectional study investigating whether parents in China are hesitant to vaccinate their children with a COVID-19 vaccine booster.

Methods: Parents in Taizhou, China, responded to a self-reported online questionnaire on their hesitancy to vaccinate their children with a COVID-19 vaccine booster.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of the efficacy and safety of high-intensity focused ultrasound combined with transarterial chemoembolization and transarterial chemoembolization alone in the treatment of liver cancer.

Background: High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) have been shown to be effective in the treatment of malignant tumors such as hepatocellular carcinoma. In recent years, HIFU combined with TACE has been frequently reported, but researchers have not yet reached a uniform conclusion on the efficacy and safety of this treatment modality.

Methods: The Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), China Biomedical Literature Database, Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, and Embase databases were searched using the terms "randomized controlled trial (RCT)", "liver cancer", "transarterial chemoembolization", "TACE", "high intensity focused ultrasound", "HIFU", "HIFU combined with TACE", and "efficacy analysis".

A Leymus chinensis histidine-rich Ca-binding protein binds Ca/Zn and suppresses abscisic acid signaling in Arabidopsis.

Intracellular Ca plays an essential role in plant cellular sensing of various environmental stress signals by modulating the activity of Ca-binding proteins. Leymus chinensis is a dominant forage grass widely distributed in the Eurasian Steppe that is well adapted to drought and salty soils common in the region. Through transcript profiling of L.

A mongolian pine specific endoplasmic reticulum localized CALMODULIN-LIKE calcium binding protein enhances arabidopsis growth.

Stress-adapted wild plants are natural sources of novel genes for molecular breeding. Here, we conducted a transcriptional analysis of Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica Litv, an evergreen pine in northeastern China, to identify a novel CALMODULIN-LIKE protein-encoding gene, PsCML1, no significant homologs found in other plant species.

[Evolution and discrimination of ecological planning and its related conceptions].

Ecological planning is one of the most important tools in realizing city's sustainable development. The ecological planning in China was started in the 1980s, and on the basis of assimilating the existing theoretical and practical experiences from western countries, basically formed a theoretical system in accordance with the Chinese characteristics and acquired a series of practical results. This paper reviewed the research and development processes of China' s ecological planning.

[Ecological demonstration activity and eco-civilization construction mode: review and prospects].

Ecological civilization is to normalize human development behaviors to harmonize the relationships between social and ecological development and eco-environment protection. In this paper, a comparative analysis was made on the ecological demonstration activities of ecological demonstration areas led by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, exemplar cities of national environmental protection, and ecological provinces, cities, and counties. It was considered that all the ecological demonstration activities had the problems of lacking pertinence of construction goals, disordered construction subjects, inefficient construction processes, and lacking continuous incentive mechanisms of assessment.
