The Associations Between Social Support From Adult Children (SSAC) and the Risk of Later-Life Depression (LLD) Among Rural Older Individuals: A Longitudinal Study Based on 2011 to 2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study Data.

This study was designed to investigate the implications of perceived social support from adult children (SSAC) on the incidence of later-life depression (LLD) among rural older adults in China. A total of 1762 participants without depressive symptoms and aged ≥60 years at baseline were recruited from three waves (2011, 2013, and 2015) of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) and followed up until 2018. After following-up for 2-7 years (average 4.

Mechanistic Study of Novel Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV Inhibitory Peptides from Goat's Milk Based on Peptidomics and In Silico Analysis.

Two novel dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitory peptides (YPF and LLLP) were discovered from goat milk protein by peptidomics, in silico analysis, and in vitro assessment. A total of 698 peptides (<23 AA) were successfully identified by LC-MS/MS from goat milk hydrolysates (hydrolyzed by papaian plus proteinase K). Then, 105 potential DPP-IV inhibitory peptides were screened using PeptideRanker, the ToxinPred tool, Libdock, iDPPIV-SCM, and sequence characteristics.

Distribution of LPRD in OSAHS Patients: Is There a Correlation?

Objective: Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS) and Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Disease (LPRD) are interrelated medical conditions affecting the respiratory system. This article aimed to investigate the potential correlation between the two.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on a total of 52 participants diagnosed with both OSAHS and LPRD.

One-Year Survival for Developing Acute Kidney Injury in Adult Patients with AMI Cardiogenic Shock Receiving Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.

Objective: The incidence of cardiogenic shock cases treated with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) support has been on the rise. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a significant complication of cardiogenic shock and a frequent serious complication in patients requiring ECMO-supported therapy. AKI is strongly associated with unfavorable patient prognosis.

Independent risk factors of acute kidney injury among patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Objective: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most frequent complications in patients treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors of AKI in patients undergoing ECMO support.

Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study which included 84 patients treated with ECMO support at intensive care unit in the People's Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from June 2019 to December 2020.

Epidemiology and Serum Metabolic Characteristics of Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients in Chest Pain Centers.

Background: We aimed to find a potential earlier diagnostic strategy for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) by investigating the epidemiology and serum metabolic characteristics of AMI patients in comparison with those of chest pain controls (CPCS).

Methods: We conducted this prospective, non-randomized, observational study of patients with acute chest pain symptoms presenting to the Emergency Rooms (ER) in The People's Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Nanning, Guangxi Province, China from January 2015 to July 2016. We included a cohort of 45 patients with AMI together with 45 age- and sex-matched CPCS.
