Objective: This study aimed to explore the social factors of patients and caregivers, including those related to their wishes for home-based end-of-life care that influence its fulfillment.

Methods: A secondary analysis was conducted using the dataset (home-based end-of-life care N = 625, hospital end-of-life care N = 7603) Comprehensive patient-based survey conducted by The Study on Quality Evaluation of Hospice and Palliative Care by Bereaved Caregivers (J-HOPE 4) and multivariate analysis (multiple logistic regression) to explore the impact of social factors of patients and caregivers on the fulfillment of home-based end-of-life care. The explanatory variables included 11 social factors of patients, such as age and sex, and 18 social factors of primary caregivers.

A novel hybrid model for air quality prediction via dimension reduction and error correction techniques.

School of Big Data and Statistics, Anhui University, Hefei, 230601, Anhui, China.

The monitoring of air pollution through the air quality index (AQI) is a fundamental tool in ensuring public health protection. Accurate prediction of air quality is necessary for the timely implementation of measures to control and manage air pollution, thereby mitigating its detrimental impact on human health. A novel hybrid prediction model is proposed, which is EMD-KMC-EC-SSA-VMD-LSTM.

Exploring the druggability of the UEV domain of human TSG101 in search for broad-spectrum antivirals.

Protein Sci

January 2025

Department of Physical Chemistry, Institute of Biotechnology, and Unit of Excellence in Chemistry Applied to Biomedicine and Environment, School of Sciences, University of Granada, Granada, Spain.

The ubiquitin E2 variant domain of TSG101 (TSG101-UEV) plays a pivotal role in protein sorting and virus budding by recognizing PTAP motifs within ubiquitinated proteins. Disruption of TSG101-UEV/PTAP interactions has emerged as a promising strategy for the development of host-oriented broad-spectrum antivirals with low susceptibility to resistance. TSG101 is a challenging target characterized by an extended and flat binding interface, low affinity for PTAP ligands, and complex binding energetics.

Comprehensive Analysis of Bulk RNA-Seq and Single-Cell RNA-Seq Data Unveils Sevoflurane-Induced Neurotoxicity Through SLC7A11-Associated Ferroptosis.

J Cell Mol Med

Department of Critical Care Medicine, the First Affiliated Hospital, Jiangxi Medical College, Nanchang University, Nanchang, P. R. China.

Sevoflurane's potential impact on cognitive function and neurodevelopment, especially in susceptible populations such as infants and the elderly, has raised widespread concern. This study focuses on how sevoflurane induces ferroptosis in astrocytes and identifies solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) as a mediator of ferroptosis, providing new insights into sevoflurane-related neurotoxic pathways. We analysed single-cell sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from sevoflurane-exposed mice and control mice, supplemented with bulk RNA-seq data, to assess gene expression alterations.

Antibodies and antibody mimics are extensively used in the pharmaceutical industry, where stringent safety standards are required. Implementing heat sterilization during or after the manufacturing process could help prevent contamination by viruses and bacteria. However, conventional antibodies and antibody mimics are not suitable for heat sterilization because they irreversibly denature at high temperatures.
