Uncovering the dynamics and causality of PTSD symptoms in firefighters: Insights from cross-lagged panel network analyses.

Firefighters have a greater prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) because of their greater risk of exposure to traumatic events. Network analysis offers novel perspectives for understanding PTSD. However, most previous network analysis studies were cross-sectional and failed to reveal the dynamics and causality of PTSD symptoms.

The Relationship Between Cognitive Emotion Regulation Strategy and Mental Health Among University Students During Public Health Emergency: A Network Analysis.

Background: Public health emergencies pose threats to mental health, and cognitive emotional regulation can be a crucial coping strategy. This study explored the relationship between cognitive emotion regulation strategies and mental health among university students during the COVID-19 pandemic using network analysis.

Methods: 1100 university students completed questionnaires assessing depression, anxiety, somatization, and cognitive emotion regulation strategies.

Organoids as Tools for Investigating Skin Aging: Mechanisms, Applications, and Insights.

Organoids have emerged as transformative tools in biomedical research, renowned for their ability to replicate the complexity construct of human tissues. Skin aging is a multifaceted biological process, influenced by both intrinsic factors and extrinsic factors. Traditional models for studying skin aging often fall short in capturing the intricate dynamics of human skin.

Precise and Omnidirectional Opto-Thermo-Elastic Actuation in Van Der Waals Contacting Systems.

Actuation of micro-objects along unconstrained trajectories in van der Waals contacting systems-in the same capacity as optical tweezers to manipulate particles in fluidic environments-remains a formidable challenge due to the lack of effective methods to overcome and exploit surface friction. Herein, a technique that aims to resolve this difficulty is proposed. This study shows that, by utilizing a moderate power beam of light, micro-objects adhered on planar solid substrates can be precisely guided to move in arbitrary directions, realizing sub-nanometer resolution across extended surfaces.

Collagen/gelatin and polysaccharide complexes enhance gastric retention and mucoadhesive properties.

This article has focused on collagen-gelatin, the gelation process, as well as blend interaction between collagen/gelatin with various polysaccharides to boost mucoadhesion and gastric retention. The interaction between mucoadhesive materials and mucin layers is of significant interest in the development of drug delivery systems and biomedical applications for effective targeting and prolonged time in the gastrointestinal tract. This paper reviews the current advancement and mucoadhesive properties of collagen/gelatin and different polysaccharide complexes concerning the mucin layer and interactions are briefly highlighted.

Naturally occurring PA point mutation in 2009 H1N1 pandemic influenza viruses impairs viral replication at high temperatures.

The emergence of influenza virus A pandemic H1N1 in April 2009 marked the first pandemic of the 21st century. In this study, we observed significant differences in the polymerase activities of two clinical 2009 H1N1 influenza A virus isolates from Chinese and Japanese patients. Sequence comparison of the three main protein subunits (PB2, PB1, and PA) of the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase complex and subsequent mutational analysis revealed that a single amino acid substitution (E206K) was responsible for the observed impaired replication phenotype.

Treatment of non-tuberculosis mycobacteria skin infections.

Non-tuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM) skin infections have become increasingly prevalent in recent years, presenting a unique challenge in clinical management. This review explored the complexities of NTM infections localized to the superficial tissues and provided valuable insights into the optimal therapeutic strategies. The antibiotic selection should base on NTM species and their susceptibility profiles.

A Bibliometric Analysis of Melanoma Treated with Vaccinations Research from 2013 to 2023: A Comprehensive Review of the Literature.

Backgrounds: Melanoma is a malignant tumor that originates from melanocytes and is known for its aggressive behavior and high metastatic potential. In recent years, vaccine therapy has emerged as a promising approach for the treatment of melanoma, offering targeted and individualized immunotherapy options. In this study, we conducted a bibliometric analysis to assess the global research trends and impact of publications related to melanoma and vaccine therapy.

Slow Mohs micrographic surgery for nail apparatus melanoma in situ.

Background: Nail apparatus melanoma is a malignant tumor with a high incidence in Chinese melanoma patients. Slow Mohs micrographic surgery is an emerging technique for treating nail apparatus melanoma in situ (NAMIS).

Objective: This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of slow Mohs micrographic surgery for treating NAMIS.

Structure of type II collagen from sturgeon cartilage and its effect on adjuvant-induced rheumatoid arthritis in rats.

The purpose of this paper was to extract and characterize type II collagen of sturgeon cartilage (SC-CII), and to explore the effects of taking SC-CII orally on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in rats. SC-CII showed a triple-helix structure (RPN = 0.12), with 1 of 11.

Ocular Adverse Effects in Atopic Dermatitis Patients Treated With Dupilumab: A Bibliometric Analysis.

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is one of the most common chronic inflammatory skin disorders. Dupilumab, the first targeted biological drug approved for the treatment of AD, has been widely used, along with increasing ocular adverse effects (AEs).

Objective: To perform a bibliometric analysis of all the qualified literature involving ocular AEs during the treatment of AD with dupilumab.

Generalized multinucleate cell angiohistiocytoma with possible origin from fibroblasts: A clinicopathological study of 15 cases.

Multinucleate cell angiohistiocytoma (MCAH) is a vascular and fibrohistiocytic proliferation with unknown pathogenesis. Clinical lesions tend to be localized to an anatomical area. Exceptionally, the generalized variant is rare.

Rapamycin blocks the IL-13-induced deficiency of Epidermal Barrier Related Proteins via upregulation of miR-143 in HaCaT Keratinocytes.

Interleukin (IL)-13 plays a key role in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD). Our preliminary study demonstrated that forced expression of miR-143 could block IL-13-induced down-regulation of epidermal barrier related proteins in epidermal keratinocytes. As previous studies suggested that miR-143 expression was regulated by mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway, we investigated the mechanism of mTOR signaling pathway in the epidermal barrier dysfunction of AD.

Association between metabolic syndrome and psoriasis: a meta-analysis of observational studies with non-psoriasis control groups.

Introduction: Psoriasis is a highly prevalent condition that affects the quality of life of affected individuals. Several studies have indicated an association between psoriasis and metabolic syndrome (MS). However, the results were inconsistent.
