One-step synthesis of blue emission copper nanoclusters for the detection of furaltadone and temperature.

Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), playing roles as a templating agent, can be applied to prepare blue-emitting copper nanoclusters (Cu NCs@PVP) on the basis of a rapid chemical reduction synthesis method. The Cu NCs@PVP displayed a blue emission wavelength at 430 nm and the corresponding quantum yield (QY) could reach 10.4%.

The effect of time management training on time management and anxiety among nursing undergraduates.

Time management is an essential tool to enhance quality care and reduce stress in nursing professionals, who face a uniquely high-paced work environment with wide-ranging job demands. We evaluated the effect of a time-management training program on time management and anxiety in nursing undergraduate students. Study results showed that the training program significantly improved nursing undergraduates' time management and significantly decreased self-reported anxiety among the students post-intervention.

A comprehensive analysis of metabolomics and transcriptomics reveals new biomarkers and mechanistic insights on DEHP exposures in MCF-7 cells.

Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is one of the most important environmental pollutants and affects multiple pathways upon human exposure. DEHP could induce MCF-7 cell proliferation at a very low dose; however, the possible linkage between DEHP and the cell proliferation effect is still unclear. Here, we carried out a comprehensive metabolome and transcriptome analysis to depict the possible molecular mechanisms of the effect of DEHP exposure on MCF-7 proliferation.

Compressed food with added functional oligopeptides improves performance during military endurance training.

Background And Objectives: Oligosaccharide or oligopeptide supplementation may have a significant impact on endurance performance. This study evaluated the effects of adding maltooligosaccharides (MO) or soy oligopeptides (SO) to compressed food (CF) on the physical response of soldiers to daily military training.

Methods And Study Design: Twelve soldiers were randomized to four diet groups: regular meals, CF, CFMO, and CFSO (crossover design).

[Preliminary Studies on the Relationship Between Meiosis of Pollen Mother Cells and Pollen Abortion of Aloe arboresense Mill.].

The main reason for pollen abortion in Aloe arboresens Mill. was studied through the observation of meiosis and the microspore development of its pollen mother cells(PMCs). There are 14 chromosomes in the PMC of Aloe arboresens Mill.
