The changes in ripe olive fat produced by processing were studied according to cultivars using the general linear model, principal component analysis (PCA), predictive discriminant analysis (DA), and hierarchical clustering. Acidity, peroxide value, K(270), and DeltaK increased during storage. Acidity also increased after sterilization, whereas K(270) decreased after darkening; K(232) showed a progressive decrease during processing. Fatty acids (except C17:0, C18:0, and C24:0), triacylglycerols (except PLLn, OOLn+PoOL, PLL+PoPoO, SOO, and POS+SLS), polar compounds, diacylglycerol, and monoacylglycerols also suffered statistically significant changes during processing. A PCA discriminated between cultivars and, within the same cultivar, among the raw materials from the rest of the treatments. Using fatty acid and triacylglycerol compositions, predictive DA discriminated between cultivars (100% correct), but high discriminant capacity among processing steps (95% correct assignation and 87% in cross-validation) was achieved only with fatty acids. A hierarchical clustering analysis successfully grouped cultivars and processing steps according to overall olive oil composition and quality.

Introduction: Gastric cancer (GC) is among the deadliest malignancies globally, characterized by hypoxia-driven pathways that promote cancer progression, including stemness mechanisms facilitating invasion and metastasis. This study aimed to develop a prognostic decision tree using genes implicated in hypoxia and stemness pathways to predict outcomes in GC patients.

Materials And Methods: GC RNA-seq data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were analyzed to compute hypoxia and stemness scores using Gene Set Variation Analysis (GSVA) and the mRNA expression-based stemness index (mRNAsi).

Background: To explore the symptom clusters of patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis and construct a symptom network to identify the core symptoms and core symptom clusters, to provide reference for precise symptom management.

Methods: Conveniently selected 354 patients with maintenance hemodialysis were surveyed cross-sectionally using the general information questionnaire, the Dialysis Symptom Index and the Kidney Disease Questionnaire. Symptom clusters were extracted using exploratory factor analysis, and core symptom clusters were identified using hierarchical regression and network analysis.

Prognostic signature of multimorbidity, geriatric syndromes and resources cluster in older in- and outpatients: a pooled secondary analysis with a 6-month follow-up.

Department II of Internal Medicine and Center for Molecular Medicine Cologne, University of Cologne, Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital Cologne, University Hospital Cologne, Cologne, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany

Objective: The prognosis of older adults is strongly influenced by the relation of multifactorial geriatric syndromes (GS) and their health-maintaining counterparts, geriatric resources (GR). The present analysis aimed to identify clusters of comorbidities, GS and GR, and to measure their multidimensional prognostic signature in older patients admitted to different healthcare settings.

Design: Pooled secondary analysis of three longitudinal interventional studies with the 3- and 6-month follow-up data collection on mortality and rehospitalisation.

Institute of International Standardization for Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine Shanghai 201203, China Shanghai Academy of International Standardization for Traditional Chinese Medicine Shanghai 201203, China.

This study aims to establish a quality grading standard that combines the conventional quality evaluation based on morphological characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine with the modern quality evaluation. Based on the existing standards and market circulation of Isatidis Radix, the diameter and color of Isatidis Radix decoction pieces were selected as the appearance traits for preliminary grading. The effects of internal quality indexes such as moisture, total ash, acid-insoluble ash, ethanol-soluble extractives, and 9 water-soluble components on different grades of decoction pieces were comprehensively compared, and the key grading indexes were determined by t-test.

Nudiviruses (family ) are double-stranded DNA viruses that infect various insects and crustaceans. Among them, Heliothis zea nudivirus 1 (HzNV-1) represents the rare case of a lepidopteran nudivirus inducing a sexual pathology. Studies about molecular pathological dynamics of HzNV-1 or other nudiviruses are scarce.
