The effect of alpha-tocopherol (α-TOC) delivered by soluble dietary fibre-based nanofibres (α-TOC-SDNF) on the life span of nematode Caenorhabditis elegans N2 (wild type) and TK22 (mev-1 mutants) with and without heat shock was investigated. Without heat shock, the wild-type and mev-1 mutants maintained in the 100 µg/mL of α-TOC-SDNF had longer life spans than their respective blank control groups. With heat shock, the wild-type N2 in the 200 µg/mL of α-TOC-SDNF had a survival rate of 5% at day 49, while no nematodes survived in the blank control group. An increased pharyngeal pumping rate was observed in the α-TOC-SDNF treated mev-1 mutants worms compared to the blank control group. Encapsulating α-TOC in SDNF yielded protective effects and the life span and pumping rate of C. elegans was increased with α-TOC delivered by SDNF.

Association of 3-year change in frailty index with risk of all-cause mortality among older Chinese population: a national cohort study.
BMC Geriatr
December 2024
School of Medicine, Henan University of Chinese Medicine, Zhengzhou, Henan, People's Republic of China.
Background: Evidence on the association of dynamic change in frailty index (FI) with risk of all-cause mortality in the older Chinese population is limited. This study aimed to explore the association of 3-year change in FI with risk of all-cause mortality in an older Chinese population.
Methods: We analyzed the data of 4969 participants from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey.
Targeting CDK2 to circumvent treatment resistance in HR breast cancer.

Genetic and epigenetic defects of the p53 system have previously been associated with resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors in women with HR breast cancer. Recent data from Kudo et al. demonstrate that CDK2-targeting agents may offer an effective strategy to circumvent such resistance by enforcing cellular senescence downstream of RBL2 dephosphorylation.

The longevity of the natural environment is fundamental for sustainable production and consumption. The circular economy conserves natural resources, ensures sustainable production and consumption, and protects the natural environment. The role of circular innovations, particularly the carrying capacity of nature, is ignored in literature.

Unlabelled: Although exercise is medicine for outpatients with schizophrenia, it is unclear if one-year adherence-supported exercise leads to a "tipping point", at which the exercise becomes a routine manifested as life-long training in the patient group.
Methods: Forty-eight outpatients (28 men/20 women: 35 ± 11 (mean ± SD) years) with schizophrenia (ICD-10: F20-29) were randomised to: 1) collaborative care group (TG), performing aerobic interval (AIT; 4 × 4-min treadmill walking/running at ∼90 % peak heart rate) and leg press maximal strength training (MST; 4 × 4 repetitions at ∼90 % maximal strength [1RM]) 2d·wk. for 1-year, supported by transportation and training supervision; or 2) control group (CG).
Functional outcome of multiple toe transfer procedure for open multiple transmetacarpal amputation secondary to a crushing injury: A case report.

Upper extremity trauma and Microsurgery Department, 108 Military Central Hospital, 1 Tran Hung Dao Street, Hanoi, Viet Nam.
Introduction: Reconstruction for open multiple transmetacarpal amputation secondary to a crushing injury is really challenging. Some treatment approaches could be proposed. To avoid the drawbacks of a prosthesis and hand transplantation such as the high cost, and long-term side effects of anti-rejection drugs, toe transfers were chosen.
