Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a stress measurement scale for Korean nursing students.
Methods: Sixty preliminary items were selected by classifying 229 basic items extracted via literature review and Q-sorting method. In order to verify the reliability and validity of the preliminary instrument, data were collected from 617 nursing students in 2 colleges of nursing in Korea.
Results: As a result of the item analysis, 58 items were selected. They consisted of 2 types of stress which were college-based stress (38 items) and clinical-based stress (20 items). Ten factors in college-based stress and four factors in clinical-based stress were extracted by factor analysis, and each had a total variance of 63.01%, and 64.93%. Cronbach's Alpha of those 58 items were .937 in college-based stress and .922 in clinical-based stress, which was high.
Conclusion: This paper is meaningful in a way that it has developed a tool capable of measuring stress for nursing students, which reflects the characteristics of our country. It is recommended for further study to re-verify the relevance and stability of this measurement.

Article Synopsis
- Dietary restriction (DR) can lengthen lifespan in various organisms, and this study uses C. elegans to explore the role of the DEAD-box RNA helicase DDX-23 in healthspan regulation under DR conditions.
- DDX-23 is crucial for heat and oxidative stress responses and operates in the germline to help mediate the effects of dietary restriction on longevity.
- The research also shows that DDX-23 negatively influences healthy lifespan extension by increasing miR-231 levels, which inhibits the FOXO transcription factor DAF-16, providing insights into the genetic mechanisms behind DR-induced longevity.

Department of Immunology, Zunyi Medical University, 563000, Zunyi, China.
Apoptosis repressor with caspase recruitment domain (ARC) acts as a potent and multifunctional inhibitor of apoptosis, which is mainly expressed in postmitotic cells, including cardiomyocytes. ARC is special for its N-terminal caspase recruitment domain and caspase recruitment domain. Due to the powerful inhibition of apoptosis, ARC is mainly reported to act as a cardioprotective factor during ischaemia‒reperfusion (I/R) injury, preventing cardiomyocytes from being devastated by various catastrophes, including oxidative stress, calcium overload, and mitochondrial dysfunction in the circulatory system.

Electronic address:
The DAF-2/DAF-16 insulin-like signaling pathway was an evolutionarily conserved pathway, which regulated many aspects of organismal physiology, such as pathogen resistance, metabolism, stress response, longevity. Luteolin, a flavone contained in many medical plants and in vegetables, had been shown to exhibit activities such as anti-tumor, anti-oxidant and neuroprotective effects. However, whether the Luteolin influenced the immune response and the underlying molecular mechanisms remained obscure.
