Department of Pathophysiology, Zunyi Medical University, Zunyi, China.
Context: Melanoma's aggressiveness and resistance to radiotherapy highlight an urgent need for innovative treatments. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) offers a unique approach through its 'four natures' theory-cold, cool, warm, and hot.
Objective: This review aims to explore the potential of TCM's 'four natures' herbal monomers in melanoma treatment, providing an alternative to conventional therapies.
Enhancing Caseworker Job Satisfaction Through Empowerment: An Innovative Tool for Employee Retention.

Child welfare caseworkers typically have high turnover rates, and little is known about how to increase their job satisfaction. Utilizing structural equation modeling, this study investigates the connections between empowerment, leadership, learning culture, physical environment, and job satisfaction among social workers in child welfare organizations. We employ a dataset from a comprehensive organizational health assessment survey of 2801 individuals to analyze the direct and indirect effects of empowerment variables on job satisfaction, as well as the influence of leadership, learning culture, and the caseworkers' physical environment.

Silicon (Si) is regarded as a promising anode material owing to its high specific capacity and low lithiation potential. The large volume change and the pulverization of silicon during the lithiation/delithiation process hinder its direct energy storage application. This review focuses on the electrospun silicon/carbon (Si/C) nanofiber anode materials for lithium-ion batteries for long-term stable energy storage.

Reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) offers significant advantages over traditional methods for estimating octanol-water partition constants, which are a critical parameter in drug discovery. In contrast to classical methods for determining the octanol-water partition constant, such as shake-flask techniques, RPLC is less time-consuming and easier to automate. In this study, we explored three alternative organic solvent modifiers: acetone, 2-propanol, and tetrahydrofuran for the indirect determination of the octanol-water partition constant for neutral compounds by RPLC using either isocratic retention factors or retention factors extrapolated to 100 % water for several stationary phases.

Introduction: Despite the established effectiveness and relatively widespread availability of Medications for Opioid Use Disorder, individuals seeking treatment frequently encounter various structural and social barriers, including costs of treatment. This study aimed to understand the financial barriers that affect treatment continuation in individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD).
Methods: In this qualitative study, seven semi-structured in-depth focus group interviews were conducted among 28 participants in treatment for OUD.
