Relationship between emotional labor strategies and the quality of work life of operating room nurses.

Introduction: Emotional labor involves regulating one's emotional state at work to align with organizational expectations. For operating room (OR) nurses, emotional labor is an inherent part of their roles, with different strategies potentially impacting their work-related quality of life (WRQoL) in distinct ways. This study aimed to examine the relationship between emotional labor strategies and WRQoL among OR nurses.

Copper in the colorectal cancer microenvironment: pioneering a new era of cuproptosis-based therapy.

Copper, an essential trace element and biochemical cofactor in humans plays a critical role in maintaining health. Recent studies have identified a significant association between copper levels and the progression and metastasis of cancer. Copper is primarily absorbed in the intestinal tract, often leading to an imbalance of copper ions in the body.

Unlocking the potential for optic nerve regeneration over long distances: a multi-therapeutic intervention.

Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) generally fail to regenerate axons, resulting in irreversible vision loss after optic nerve injury. While many studies have shown that modulating specific genes can enhance RGCs survival and promote optic nerve regeneration, inducing long-distance axon regeneration through single-gene manipulation remains challenging. Nevertheless, combined multi-gene therapies have proven effective in significantly enhancing axonal regeneration.

Gut microbiota and plasma metabolites in pregnant mothers and infant atopic dermatitis: A multi-omics study.

Background: Many studies reported the influence of infants' gut microbiota on atopic dermatitis (AD) postnatally, yet the role of maternal gut microbiota and plasma metabolites in infants' AD remains largely unexplored.

Methods: Sixty-three pregnant mother-infants were enrolled and followed after childbirth in Guangzhou, China. Demographic information, maternal stool and plasma samples, and records for infants' AD were collected.

Identification and characterization of multiple novel viruses in fecal samples of cormorants.

Introduction: Cormorants, as protected wild animals by the State Forestry Administration of China, have a broad distribution across China. Previous studies have shown that they can be infected with multiple viruses in the , , , and families. There is limited knowledge about the other viruses that cormorants may carry and infect.
