Background: Systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) is associated with increased risk in a wide range of illnesses. However, few studies have explored the associations between SII and the risk of malnutrition. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association between SII and malnutrition in a nationwide, multicenter, cross-sectional study involving Chinese hospitalized patients.

Background And Objectives: The current study aimed to explore the effect of nutritional prehabilitation on the clinical prognosis of elderly patients undergoing abdominal cancer surgery.

Methods And Study Design: A retrospective study was conducted, where participants were divided into two groups based on whether they received oral nutritional supplementation at the first outpatient visit. The nutritional prehabilitation group (n=41) adopted a nutritional prehabilitation mode (a standard energy intake of 25-30 kcal/kg· d was recommended).

Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a prevalent digestive malignancy with significant global mortality and morbidity rates. Improving diagnostic capabilities for CRC and investigating novel therapeutic approaches are pressing clinical imperatives. Additionally, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) has emerged as a highly promising candidate for both colorectal tumor imaging and treatment.

The MADS-box gene family controls plant flowering and floral organ development; therefore, it is particularly important in ornamental plants. To investigate the genes associated with the MADS-box family in Clematis courtoisii, we performed full-length transcriptome sequencing on C. courtoisii using the PacBio Sequel third-generation sequencing platform, as no reference genome data was available.

The unprecedented public health and economic impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been met with an equally unprecedented scientific response. Sensitive point-of-care methods to detect SARS-CoV-2 antigens in clinical specimens are urgently required for the rapid screening of individuals with viral infection. Here, we developed an upconversion nanoparticle-based lateral flow immunochromatographic assay (UCNP-LFIA) for the high-sensitivity detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) protein.

Background And Objectives: Lack of professional and accurate diagnosis of malnutrition led to a reduction in Diagnosis Related Group (DRG) payment and a decrease in Case-Mix Index (CMI). The aim of this study was to explore the effects of adding a proper nutritional diagnosis and modifying complication groups on DRG payment and CMI.

Methods And Study Design: Retrospective analysis was performed on patients ad-mitted to the hospital from January to June 2022 who had received a nutritional assessment.

Objective: To compare the complication rates, nutritional status, and physical state between esophageal cancer (EC) patients managed by nasogastric tube (NGT) feeding versus those managed by oral nutritional supplementation (ONS) during chemoradiotherapy.

Methods: EC patients undergoing chemoradiotherapy managed by nonintravenous nutritional support in our institute were retrospectively recruited and divided into an NGT group and an ONS group based on the nutritional support method. The main outcomes, including complications, nutritional status, and physical state, were compared between groups.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the effects of multidisciplinary whole-course nutrition management on the nutritional status and complications during the course of treatment in patients with esophageal cancer (EC) undergoing chemoradiotherapy.

Methods: A total of 36 EC patients undergoing chemoradiotherapy were divided into a control group (n = 18) and an intervention group (n = 18). Participants in the control group were given routine nutritional support, whereas those in the intervention group were provided whole-course nutrition management from the nutrition support team.

Head and neck cancer (HNC) sufferers usually encounter arduous nutritional problems when they are receiving antineoplastic therapy. Consequently, the presence of anxiety and depression is commonly observed in this population. This study aimed to explore the physical and psychological influence of nutritional counseling in patients with HNC.

Background: Visceral obesity is associated with cancer incidence and prognosis. Altered lipid profiles are frequently seen in visceral obese patients. The blood test of lipid profiles is more convenient and has no radical side effects than computed tomography (CT), which is presently the most accurate way to measure visceral fat area.

An electrochemical voltammogram recording method for plant variety identification is proposed. Electrochemical voltammograms of Vistula, Andromeda, Danuta, Armandii 'Apple Blossom,' Proteus, Hagley Hybrid, Violet Elizabeth, Kiri Te Kanawa, Regina, and Veronica's Choice were recorded using leaf extracts with two solvents under buffer solutions. The voltametric data recorded under different conditions were derived as scatter plots, 2D density patterns, and hot maps for variety identification.

Flowering time is an important trait for ornamental plants, and flowering regulation has thus been both a focus of and challenge to researchers. Lagerstroemia indica is an important summer flowering tree in China and has been introduced abroad as a key parent of new cultivars; no previous reports have addressed the regulation of flowering time in this species. In this study, 28,567,778×2 reads were obtained from leaves of L.
