Background: Comprehensive health-related quality of life (QOL) assessment under severe respondent burden constraints requires improved single-item scales for frequently surveyed domains. This article documents how new single-item-per-domain (SIPD) QOL General (QGEN-8) measures were constructed for domains common to SF-36 and results from the first psychometric tests comparing scores for the new measure in relation to those for the SF-36 profile and summary components.
Research Design: Online NORC surveys of adults, ages 19-93 (mean=52 y) representing the US population in 2020 (N=1648) included QGEN-8 and SF-36 items measuring physical (PF), social (SF), role physical (RP) and role emotional (RE) functioning and feelings of bodily pain (BP), vitality (VT), and mental health (MH).

Daphnane diterpenoids, as one of the representative types of diterpenoid compounds with rich structural diversity and significant biological activities, have an uncommon 5/7/6 tricyclic skeleton mainly found in species of Thymelaeaceae and Euphorbiaceae families. Due to the unique peculiarity of the framework and remarkable pharmacological activities, over the past three decades, novel structures have been continuously discovered and more structural subtypes have been derived. However, there is always a lack of a unified and convincing structural classification strategy for the summary of daphnane diterpenoids, which affects the in-depth and systematic research of pharmaceutical chemists and pharmacologists.

African swine fever (ASF) has widely spread around the world in the last 100 years since its discovery. The African swine fever virus (ASFV) particles are made of more than 150 proteins, with the p17 protein encoded by the D117L gene serving as one of the major capsid proteins and playing a crucial role in the virus's morphogenesis and immune evasion. Thus, monoclonal antibody (mAb) targeting p17 is important for the research and detection of ASFV infection.
