Mind-body intervention for post-traumatic stress disorder in adolescents: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Background: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a potentially disabling condition that can lead to long-term impairments, with a significant proportion of adolescents being affected by trauma. Studies have suggested that trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) is an effective treatment for PTSD in adolescents, however, little is known about the relative advantages of different mind-body interventions. The network meta-analysis aims to evaluate and compare the efficacy of various mind-body interventions in alleviating PTSD symptoms in adolescents.

A reference-grade genome of the xerophyte Ammopiptanthus mongolicus sheds light on its evolution history in legumes and drought-tolerance mechanisms.

Plants that grow in extreme environments represent unique sources of stress-resistance genes and mechanisms. Ammopiptanthus mongolicus (Leguminosae) is a xerophytic evergreen broadleaf shrub native to semi-arid and desert regions; however, its drought-tolerance mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we report the assembly of a reference-grade genome for A.

Detection of Alpha-Fetoprotein Using Aptamer-Based Sensors.

Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is widely-known as the most commonly used protein biomarker for liver cancer diagnosis at the early stage. Therefore, developing the highly sensitive and reliable method of AFP detection is of essential demand for practical applications. Herein, two types of aptamer-based AFP detection methods, i.

Detection of Pb in Tea Using Aptamer Labeled with AIEgen Nanospheres Based on MOFs Sensors.

Tea is an important economic crop and health beverage in China. The presence of heavy metal ions in tea poses a significant threat to public health. Here, we prepared an aptamer biosensor labelled with AIEgen nanospheres to detect Pb in tea.
