Quantitative real-time PCR may be a rapid and automated procedure for detection of bacterial pathogens from food samples. Nevertheless, when testing the effects of antimicrobials on the viability of bacterial pathogens in foods, we found that DNA from dead cells interfered greatly in the detection of viable Listeria monocytogenes after treatment with the broad-spectrum bacteriocin enterocin AS-48. To overcome this problem, a quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) assay based on bacterial mRNA was adapted to quantify viable L. monocytogenes in food after bacteriocin treatments. The procedure allowed a better and faster estimation of viable cells compared to PALCAM viable cell counts when the threshold level was 2 log units/g of food, while PALCAM viable count allowed detection of one log unit/g. This procedure may be useful to verify the efficacy of bacteriocins against L. monocytogenes in foods.

Background: Proper name anomia is a common experience that can become amplified in patients with a diagnosis of dementia (PWD). The Gotcha! app aims to provide practice-based therapy for PWD to relearn the names of key people in their lives. It has been developed according to the principles of errorless learning, which have previously been shown to improve the remembering the familiar people's names and benefit the relationship between the PWD and their loved ones.

Background: Across a broad range of physical and cognitive outcomes in gerontology and geriatric practice, it is fundamentally important to establish systems for clinical decision-making. Current technological solutions include sensors for monitoring movement activity, however many of these methods are complex, invasive, and dependent on factors such as compliance, context, and idyllic conditions. An alternative approach to monitoring is through continuously active, noninvasive radiofrequency (NRF) sensors.

Department of Andrology, Dongzhimen Hospital, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, Beijing, 100700, China.
Background And Aim: As a classical formula to invigorate blood circulation, Huoxue Tongluo Qiwei Decoction (HTQD) can effectively treat hypertensive erectile dysfunction (ED), but its exact mechanism of action is not yet clear. The goal of this research was to explore the potential mechanism of HTQD in improving hypertensive erectile dysfunction in rats through transcriptomics, network pharmacology, and associated animal experimentations.
Methods: The HTQD chemical constituents were screened using high-performance liquid chromatography- tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS).

Department of Gastroenterology, First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University, Xi'an, China.
Background: Stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) is the fifth most common tumor worldwide, imposing a significant disease burden on populations, particularly in Asia. Oxidative stress is well-known to play an essential role in the occurrence and progression of malignancies. Our study aimed to construct a prediction model by exploring the correlation between oxidative stress-related genes and the prognosis of patients with STAD.
