Ongoing work has led to the identification of most of the biochemical steps in carotenoid biosynthesis in chlorophototrophic bacteria. In carotenogenesis, a relatively small number of modifications leads to a great diversity of carotenoid structures. This review examines the individual steps in the pathway, discusses how each contributes to structural diversity among carotenoids, and summarizes recent progress in elucidating the biosynthetic pathways for carotenoids in chlorophototrophs.

Effects of the Oral Health Promotion Program on oral health and oral microbiota changes in diabetic elderly individuals: a quasi-experimental study.
BMC Oral Health
January 2025
Innovation Center of Nursing Research, Nursing Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, No.37, Guoxue Lane, Wuhou District, Chengdu, China.
Background: Diabetes with its highly prevalence has become a major contributor to the burden of health care costs worldwide. Recent unequivocal evidence has revealed a bidirectional link between oral health and diabetes. In this study, the effects of the Oral Health Promotion Program (OHPP) on oral hygiene, oral health-related quality of life and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in diabetic elderly were examined.

January 2025
Department of Healthcare Management Research Center, Chiba University Hospital, 1-8-1 Inohana, Chuo-ku, Chiba, 260-8677, Japan.
Aim: This study aimed to explore the emotions of operating room nurses in Japan towards perioperative nursing using generative AI and human analysis, and to identify factors contributing to burnout and turnover.
Methods: A single-center cross-sectional study was conducted from February 2023 to February 2024, involving semi-structured interviews with 10 operating room nurses from a national hospital in Japan. Interview transcripts were analyzed using generative AI (ChatGPT-4o) and human researchers for thematic, emotional, and subjectivity analysis.
Bacterial wilt disease alters the structure and function of fungal communities around plant roots.
BMC Plant Biol
January 2025
Beijing Life Science Academy, Beijing, 102200, China.
Background: Fungal communities around plant roots play crucial roles in maintaining plant health. Nonetheless, the responses of fungal communities to bacterial wilt disease remain poorly understood. Here, the structure and function of fungal communities across four consecutive compartments (bulk soil, rhizosphere, rhizoplane and root endosphere) were investigated under the influence of bacterial wilt disease.

BMC Geriatr
January 2025
Department of Neurology, Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China.
Objectives: Freezing of Gait (FOG) is one of the disabling symptoms in patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD). While it is difficult to early detect because of the sporadic occurrence of initial freezing events. Whether the characteristic of gait impairments in PD patients with FOG during the 'interictal' period is different from that in non-FOG patients is still unclear.

BMC Cancer
January 2025
The University of Sydney School of Health Sciences, Susan Wakil Health Building, Western Avenue, 2050, Camperdown, NSW, Australia.
Background: Women living with metastatic breast cancer can benefit from physical activity. Presently, there is an absence of research outside of quantitative investigations on the benefits of structured programs. To enable effective physical activity advice and services, it is important to understand factors that may facilitate or prevent engagement.
