Utilization of an aqueous two-phase emulsification to prepare bimodal porous cellulose monolith for efficient adsorption of bovine serum albumin.

Cellulose monolith has garnered significant interest in the field of biochromatography, which lies in its interconnected porous structure, large surface area and biocompatibility. In this context, we propose a novel approach for preparing cellulose monoliths using an aqueous two-phase system devoid of any organic solvents and surfactants. In this strategy, emulsifying cellulose solution into PEG 20,000 solution gives bicontinuous aqueous phases and further porous cellulose monolith after regeneration of dissolved cellulose.

Depressive symptoms mediate the association between insomnia symptoms and health-related quality of life and synergistically interact with insomnia symptoms in older adults in nursing homes.

Aims: The aim of this study was to elucidate whether depressive symptoms mediate the association between insomnia symptoms and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and to explore whether insomnia symptoms and depressive symptoms synergistically interact to affect HRQOL among older adults in nursing homes.

Methods: Older adults living in nursing homes (n = 323) completed Athens Insomnia Scale, the 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale, and the 36-item Short Form Health Survey. PROCESS for SPSS was used in the mediation model.

Loneliness and depression symptoms among the elderly in nursing homes: A moderated mediation model of resilience and social support.

Loneliness has been identified as a risk factor for depressive symptoms. Resilience and social support have been regarded as underlying protective factors. Little is known about the complex relations among these factors in the nursing home elderly.

Social Support as a Mediator of Physical Disability and Depressive Symptoms in Chinese Elderly.

The relationship between physical disability and depressive symptoms has been associated with social support. Different aspects of social support may play distinct roles in health-related quality of life. The aim of this study was to examine the mediation of social support in the relationship between physical disability and depressive symptoms among old people in Mainland China.

Psychological distress in patients with chronic atrophic gastritis: the risk factors, protection factors, and cumulative effect.

This study aimed to examine the psychological status among Chronic Atrophic Gastritis (CAG) patients and to find the cumulative effects of risk and protective factors. A sample of 101 CAG patients completed the investigation. Hierarchical linear regression was used to find risk and protective factors, and examine the cumulative effects in risk factor index (RFI) and protective factor index (PFI).

Prevalence and related factors of successful aging among Chinese rural elders living in nursing homes.

Few studies focus on the prevalence and related factors of successful aging (SA) among Chinese rural elders living in nursing homes. This study aims to make an operational definition of successful aging, estimate the prevalence of SA, and identify factors related to SA among Chinese rural elders living in nursing homes. Data for this cross-sectional study were collected by face-to-face interviews in five rural public nursing homes.

Association between social support and health-related quality of life among Chinese rural elders in nursing homes: the mediating role of resilience.

Purpose: This study aims to confirm the relationship between social support and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among rural Chinese elders in nursing homes, and to examine the mediating role of resilience in the impact of social support on HRQOL.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey of 205 elders aged 60 and above was conducted in five rural public nursing homes. Sociodemographic characteristics, the SF-36 questionnaire, and information about social support and resilience were collected.

The relationship of interpersonal sensitivity and depression among patients with chronic atrophic gastritis: The mediating role of coping styles.

Aims And Objectives: To investigate the prevalence of depression and the relationship among interpersonal sensitivity, coping styles and depression in patients with chronic atrophic gastritis and explore the mediating role of coping styles between interpersonal sensitivity and depression.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey of 101 patients diagnosed with chronic atrophic gastritis aged 33-83 years. All the participants were surveyed face to face and given the informed consent.
