Personal values refer to the beliefs, principles or ideas that are important to people's lives. We investigated the associations between personal values and happiness. We inquired about the importance of four different categories of personal values: prioritizing social relationships, extrinsic achievements, physical health, and spirituality. Data were drawn from the Korean General Social Survey (KGSS), a nationally representative cross-sectional sample collected over three years (i.e., 2007, 2008, and 2009). The findings showed that respondents prioritizing religion (i.e., spirituality) were the most likely to be happy, followed by those prioritizing social relationships, including family, friends, and neighbors. Those who prioritized extrinsic achievements (money, power, educational attainment, work, and leisure) as well as health were least likely to be happy. The findings suggest that pursuing goals focused on self-enhancement or self-centered value are less likely to result in happiness compared to pursuing alter-centered collective goals or self-transcendence/selflessness.

This review provides an in-depth exploration of the evolving role of immunotherapy in gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, with a particular focus on immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and their associated predictive biomarkers. We present a detailed analysis of established biomarkers, such as PD-L1, microsatellite instability (MSI), tumor mutational burden (TMB), and the tumor microenvironment (TME), as well as emerging biomarkers, including gut microbiota and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). The predictive value of these biomarkers in guiding clinical decision-making and optimizing immunotherapy outcomes is thoroughly discussed.

Background: Severe calcification is the morphology most strongly associated with stent underexpansion.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to revise an optical coherence tomography (OCT)-derived calcium score to predict stent underexpansion in severely calcified lesions (angle >270°) using a point-based system.
Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted in which 250 de novo lesions undergoing OCT-guided stenting, with angiographically visible calcium and optical coherence tomographic maximum superficial calcium angle >270°, not subjected to atherectomy or specialty balloon treatment before stent implantation, were randomly divided into derivation (n = 167) and validation (n = 83) cohorts.

Background: Ambient Mass Spectrometry (AMS) encompasses a group of techniques that have emerged as powerful strategies for direct, in-situ and high-throughput analysis, also in compliance with the principles of green analytical chemistry. Swab Touch Spray-Mass Spectrometry (Swab TS-MS) is a home-made AMS technique that involves the use of a medical swab as sampling tool and electrospray probe. To date, Swab TS-MS has been applied only for the analysis of small molecules, especially in forensic and medical fields, leaving the analysis of peptides and proteins still unexplored.

Background: Creatinine is a small molecule disease biomarker that reflects kidney function, accurate and effective detection of creatinine will play an important role in the prevention and treatment of diseases. Currently, commonly used creatinine detection methods are limited by expensive instruments, complex sample preparation, many interference factors from biological samples, and environmental factors that can affect the accuracy of the measurement. Therefore, developing a fast, simple, inexpensive, sensitive analysis method that can eliminate background interference and provide multi-detection modes has strong attraction and value.
