Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of a combination of functional exercise and psychological interventions on postoperative rehabilitation and intervention compliance in patients with breast cancer (BC).

Methods: This study involved 100 patients with BC who underwent a radical mastectomy in our hospital between April 2020 and April 2021. We assigned patients to a control group (with a functional exercise intervention for patients) and an observation group (where patients received psychological interventions based on functional exercise) using a random number table.

Article Synopsis
  • Preschool-aged children often experience anxiety before undergoing anesthesia and surgery, prompting a need for better interventions.
  • The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of combining static cartoons with dynamic virtual environments to reduce preoperative anxiety and improve compliance during anesthesia induction in preschoolers.
  • Results showed that both the drug group (given midazolam) and the intervention group (static cartoons and virtual environments) had lower anxiety scores compared to a control group, indicating improved outcomes with these methods.

Background: Gender consciousness directly affects the development of gender identity, which is a continuous and lifelong process. Meanwhile, hospitalization is a part of many children's lives and has an impact on their gender development.

Aim: To investigate the current situation of gender identity in lower primary school children by conducting a survey of 202 hospitalized children in the lower grades and to provide a theoretical basis and foundation for the cultivation of gender identity and medical treatment of children based on the results.

Mitochondria play essential roles in cancer cell adaptation to hypoxia, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Through mitochondrial proteomic profiling, we here find that the prolyl hydroxylase EglN1 (PHD2) accumulates on mitochondria under hypoxia. EglN1 substrate-binding region in the β2β3 loop is responsible for its mitochondrial translocation and contributes to breast tumor growth.

The codling moth, Cydia pomonella (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is a major pest of pome fruit and walnuts worldwide. Although environmentally compatible integrated control strategies, such as mating disruption, attract-kill strategy, and sterile insect technique have been conducted for management of this notorious pest, effects to control of codling moth have mainly relied on insecticides. In consequence, different levels of insecticide resistance towards organophosphates, neonicotinoids, hydrazines, benzoylureas, pyrethroids, diamides, spinosyns, avermectins, JH mimics, carbamates, oxadiazines and C.

Glycinin is a major protein and antinutritional factor of soybean. However, how dietary glycinin affect intestinal immune function of fish were largely unknown. In this study, we used juvenile grass carp as a model to investigate the impacts of glycinin on intestinal immune function of fish and involved mechanisms.

A novel Rh(I)/La(III) cocatalytic three-component reaction of vinylcyclopropanes, diazoesters, and diphenyl sulfoxide has been developed. The reaction gives polysubstituted dihydropyrans as the reaction products. Mechanistic studies indicate that isomerization of vinylcyclopropanes gives conjugated dienes, which then undergo [4 + 2]-cycloaddition with vicinal tricarbonyl compounds generated by oxygen atom transfer from diphenyl sulfoxide to diazoesters.

-Selective carbene C-H insertion of unprotected phenols is achieved with dimethyl diazomalonate under the catalysis of [Rh(COD)Cl]. After the C-H insertion, subsequent cyclization and electrophilic addition of another carbene molecule affords tris-carboxylate-substituted 2-benzofuranones as the final reaction products. The enantioselective variant has been developed with the use of chiral diene ligands.

Introduction: Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) may be effective for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD); however, the neural mechanism is poorly understood. In this study, we examined the potential neural mechanisms through which MBCT may reduce anxiety in patients with mild-to-moderate GAD.

Methods: Eight weekly group MBCT sessions (2 h each) were conducted with 32 GAD patients.

The present study evaluated the influence of dietary soybean glycinin on growth performance, intestinal morphology, free intestinal amino acid (AA) content, and intestinal AA transporter (AAT) mRNA levels in juvenile grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). Results were displayed as follows: (1) 8% dietary glycinin decreased growth performance, inhibited intestinal growth, and caused intestinal histology damage of grass carp; (2) dietary glycinin decreased the content of free neutral AAs including Val, Ser, Tyr, Ala, Pro, and Gln in all intestinal segments, and Thr, Ile, Leu, Phe, and Gly in the MI and DI while downregulated the mRNA levels of corresponding transporters including SLC38A2, SLC6A19b, and SLC6A14 in all intestinal segments, and SLC7A5, SLC7A8, and SLC1A5 in the MI and DI. Dietary glycinin decreased the content of free basic AAs including Arg in the MI and DI and His in all intestinal segments while downregulated cationic AAT SLC7A1 mRNA levels in the MI and DI.

A catalytic carbonylative ring-opening and functionalization reaction of poorly activated cyclopropanes has been developed. The key achievement of this work is the accomplishment of an unprecedented effective intermolecular trapping of the rhodacyclopentanone intermediate, which is derived from rhodium-mediated carbonylative insertion of poorly activated cyclopropanes, by an external reactant. The success of this development hinges upon the use of a dual directing strategy.

Article Synopsis
  • Free-floating vegetation in wetlands creates a dense canopy that can significantly impact ecological processes, especially in urban areas with high nutrient levels and low water movement.
  • A study was conducted over 50 days in a subtropical urban pond to determine how this canopy affects litter decomposition, using 22 ponds divided into those with and without the vegetation.
  • Results indicated that the canopy, along with factors like litter type and mesh size, slowed down mass and carbon loss from leaf litter, highlighting how such vegetation can influence wetland ecosystem functions.

Cantharidin (CTD), a terpenoid defensive toxin mainly produced by blister beetles, is widely known by its toxicity to both cancer cells and pests. However, little information is known about its biosynthesis in blister beetles. In this study, first we determined the CTD content in various tissues of adult blister beetles on different days after mating, and then detected the temporal and spatial expression patterns of genes related to CTD biosynthesis in Epicauta chinensis.

Geographic patterns in leaf stoichiometry reflect plant adaptations to environments. Leaf stoichiometry variations along environmental gradients have been extensively studied among terrestrial plants, but little has been known about intraspecific leaf stoichiometry, especially for wetland plants. Here we analyzed the dataset of leaf N and P of a cosmopolitan wetland species, Phragmites australis, and environmental (geographic, climate and soil) variables from literature and field investigation in natural wetlands distributed in three climatic regions (subtropical, temperate and highland) across China.

  • Verticillium dahliae is a fungus that causes vascular wilt, significantly affecting crop yield and quality, especially in cotton.
  • Researchers identified a low-pathogenicity mutant called vdpr1 from a virulent strain, which is linked to a gene named VdPR1 related to pathogenicity.
  • The mutant showed reduced growth, spore production, and enzyme activities, and had a delayed infection with milder disease symptoms, indicating VdPR1 plays a key role in the fungus's growth and ability to infect host plants.

Background And Aims: Image quality can be guaranteed with the conventional dosage of fluorescein sodium in probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE). However, yellow discoloration of the skin seriously affects daily life and simultaneously increases the risk of adverse events such as allergic reactions. The aim of this study was to test whether a lower dosage of fluorescein sodium can provide satisfactory image quality and to compare the diagnostic accuracy of gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) through a randomized blind controlled trial.
