Linking Parent-Adolescent Congruence in Perceived Parental Emotional Support to Adolescent Developmental Outcomes: The More, the Better?

Parents and their children can have congruent or incongruent perceptions of parenting, which has been shown to have downstream effects on certain adolescent outcomes. However, little is known about whether such effect holds for various domains of developmental outcomes or across adolescent boys and girls. Investigating 2268 parent-girl (M = 15.

Genetic associations between ULK3 and epilepsy: a two-sample Mendelian randomization study.

Background And Objectives: Observational studies have suggested that a multitude of pathological processes and biomolecules are involved in the initiation and development of epilepsy, and ULK3 is linked to the nervous system. However, it remains uncertain whether this association between ULK3 and epilepsy is causal and the direction of any causal relationship. This study employs a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) method to investigate the relationship between ULK3 and the risk of epilepsy.

Analyzing Chinese parents' and teachers' perception of play, children's emotional needs and therapy: implications for seeking help.

Introduction: Before going through play therapy with children, parents' consent is usually needed. Thus, Parents' perception of play therapy can be a very important variable that influences the extent to which children are exposed to play therapy. Previous research has demonstrated the significant influence of social-cultural factors on people's perceptions of play therapy.

Ratiometric optical detection of pyrophosphate based on aggregation-caused dual-signal response of gold nanoclusters.

Sensing of pyrophosphate ion (PPi) has received much attention due to the strong demand for clinical diagnostics. Here, based on gold nanoclusters (Au NCs), a ratiometric optical detection method for PPi is developed by simultaneously detecting the dual signals of fluorescence (FL) and second-order scattering (SOS). The PPi is detected by inhibiting the formation of aggregates of Fe with Au NCs.

Development of a Combination Fermentation Strategy to Simultaneously Increase Biomass and Enzyme Activity of D-amino Acid Oxidase Expressed in Escherichia coli.

D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) is widely used in the industrial preparation of L-amino acids, and cultivating Escherichia coli (E. coli) expressing DAAO for the biosynthesis of L-phosphinothricin (L-PPT) is very attractive. At present, the biomass production of DAAO by fermentation is still limited in large-scale industrial applications because the expression of DAAO during the fermentation process inhibits the growth of host cells, which limits higher cell density.

Metabolomics-based mechanisms exploration of Huang-Lian Jie-Du decoction on cerebral ischemia via UPLC-Q-TOF/MS analysis on rat serum.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Huang-Lian Jie-Du decoction (HLJDD), a traditional formula of Chinese medicine constituted with Rhizoma Coptidis, RadixScutellariae, CortexPhellodendri amurensis and Fructus Gardeniae, exhibits unambiguous therapeutic effect on cerebral ischemia via multi-targets action. Further investigation, however, is still required to explore the relationship between those mechanisms and targets through system approaches.

Materials And Methods: Rats of cerebral ischemia were completed by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) with reperfusion.

Different modulation of on the absorption profiling of triptolide and tripterine from in rat intestine.

Background: Compatibility with (PN) reduced the plasma concentration of triptolide and delayed the T of (TW), the sovereign medicine of Qing-Luo Tong-Bi decoction, which hinted the absorption process of triptolide might be involved in decreasing the toxicity in liver and kidney.

Methods: The absorption of triptolide, triptonide, wilforlide and tripterine from monomer, TW, TW-PN, TW- (TW-CS) and Qing-Luo Tong-Bi were analyzed in duodenum, jejunum, ileum and colon of rat via single-pass intestinal perfusion model. An UPLC-MS/MS analysis method was developed to determine the concentration of triptolide, triptonide, wilforlide and tripterine in the inlet and outlet.

Explore the effects of Huang-Lian-Jie-Du-Tang on Alzheimer's disease by UPLC-QTOF/MS-based plasma metabolomics study.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease with neither definitive pathogenesis nor effective treatment method so far. Huang-Lian-Jie-Du-Tang (HLJDT) is a classic formula of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) proven to have ameliorative effects on learning and memory deficits of dementia. Morris water maze (MWM) test and pathology analysis have demonstrated that HLJDT could ameliorate learning and memory deficits in AD mouse model, which may act via its anti-neuroinflammation properties.

The Application of Monoclonal Antibodies to the Imunoaffinity Purification of Human Ferritin.

There was difference between the reactivities of anti-human ferritin monoclonal antibodies, 6D6 and A-hF-C with liver and heart ferritins. 6D6 reacts with liver and heart ferritin with similar intensity, while A-hF-C reacts preferentially with liver ferritin. Two affinity gels were made with 6D6 and A-hF-C respectively, and used to purify ferritins from crude extracts of human liver and heart ferritins.

Affinity Purification of Hepatitis B Virus Surface Antigen Containing PreS1 Region.

The large protein of hepatitis B virus surface antigen (LHBs) contained an attachment site of HBV to liver cells and the antibodies to preS1 were virus-neutralizing. Therefore, vaccines containing preS1 would be more protective. However, One of the key problems in the preparation of gene-expressed proteins was the purification of the products.
