Objectives: We aimed to assess the quality of information regarding depression on Chinese websites and popular video platforms.
Methods: We conducted searches on website platforms (Baidu, Bing) and video platforms (Bilibili, Douyin) using search terms "depression", "depressive disorder", "depression treatment", "depressive anxiety", "depressed patient", and "depressive symptoms". We collected the first 50 results with each search term in each platform.
Introduction: Serum folate and vitamin B levels correlate with the prevalence of fatty liver disease, but it is not clear how they affect mortality. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association of serum folate and vitamin B concentrations with all-cause mortality in individuals with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).
Methods: MASLD subjects were from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) in the United States, and mortality follow-up data were obtained by linkage to death records from the National Death Index.
Circularly polarized light emitting active materials are of great interest, and the convenient tuning of the circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) remains a significant challenge. Integrating fluorescent materials into chiral photonic crystals to achieve tunable CPL is a promising approach, allowing efficient manipulation of CPL by adjusting the photonic band gap (PBG). We combined carbon quantum dots (CQDs) with hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), which self-assembles into a cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC).

Although nitric oxide (NO)-enhanced photodynamic (PDT) therapy has been involved in biofilm eradication, the anti-biofilm efficacy is usually hindered by the short half-life and limited diffusion distance of active molecules. Herein, we report a three-arm structure using the photosensitive core chlorin e6 to integrate three α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) polyrotaxane chains as the supramolecular nanocarrier of NO-enhanced PDT therapy, in which NO was loaded on the cationic rings (α-CDs).

The idea of developing an enamel-like adhesion interface holds great promise in achieving enduring dentin adhesion. In this study, we constructed an enamel-like adhesion interface using a rapid remineralization strategy comprising an acidic primer and a rapid remineralization medium.

The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) that characterizes CTCs is associated with a poor prognosis. Organotropic metastasis is dictated by the transmission of miRNAs by cancer-derived exosomes.

Methods: In-depth interviews were conducted with 24 purposively selected respondents.
To address the issue of excessive residues of 4-chloro-3,5-dimethylphenol (PCMX) in the water environment. In a one-step solvothermal process, iron-based metal-organic frameworks (Fe-MOFs) material MIL-53(Fe) undergoes a synthetic modification strategy. 2-Nitroterephthalic acid as an organic ligand reacted with Fe in a solvothermal process lasting 18 h to yield the nitro-functionalized MIL-53(Fe)-NO(18h).

In this study, we have discovered sodium alginate solution to be chromogenic under four conditions, namely alkali-chromogenic, thermo-chromogenic, force-chromogenic and photo-chromogenic. Under simple strong alkaline conditions, sodium alginate forms clusters of blue light-absorbing chromogenic aggregates, which exhibit a bright yellow color at a certain size.

Here, we identified the distribution of omega speckles in multiple tissues of adult and found that they were selectively distributed in differentiated enterocytes but not in the intestinal stem cells of the midgut. We mimicked the high expression level of via overexpression or intense heat shock and demonstrated that the assembly of omega speckles nucleates TBPH for the induction of ISC differentiation.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between fatigue and body composition in hemodialysis patients.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 92 patients in total.
It has been a challenge to prepared polyether block amide (PEBA) fibrous membrane via solution electrospinning. The only few reported methods though involved hazardous solvents and surfactants which were against the principle of green chemistry. In this work, uniform fibrous membrane of PEBA was successfully fabricated by solution electrospinning with a bio-based solvent dihydrolevoglucosenone (Cyrene).

However, currently reported CLC reflective PBLs are either limited by monochrome display or suffers from complicated design for colorful display. Herein, we demonstrate a colorful multi-plane AR display system with dynamically tunable reflective PBL.

This study was to reach a comprehensive and deeper understanding of PFOS elimination in a UV photolytic treatment with the co-presence of Fe and nitrilotriacetic acid trisodium salt (NTA). PFOS defluorination was noticeably enhanced in the UV/Fe-NTA treatment compared with UV/NTA, UV/Fe and our previously studied UV/Fe treatments.

Alternative splicing (AS) was an important post-transcriptional mechanism that involved in plant resistance to adversity stress. WRKY transcription factors function as transcriptional activators or repressors to modulate plant growth, development and stress response. However, the role of alternate splicing of WRKY in cold tolerance is poorly understood in tea plants.
