Article Abstract
Background: The psychological assessment is crucial before bariatric surgery. Derogatis' Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) is one of the most widely used measures of psychological symptoms and distress in both clinical and research settings. We aimed to investigate the predictive value of SCL-90-R subscale scores on postoperative excess weight loss percentage (EWLP) after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).
Methods: Patients who underwent primary LSG for morbid obesity and fully completed preoperative SCL-90-R between January 2016 and July 2019 were retrospectively examined. A multiple linear regression analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between descriptive and psychological variables associated with EWLP percentage at the 12th-month.
Results: One hundred six patients who met the inclusion criteria were analyzed. The adequate weight loss (EWLP ˃ 50%) was achieved in 90% of patients after 12 months. The multiple linear regression analysis indicated that younger patients (β = - 0.695; 95% CI - 1.056, - 0.333; p < 0.001), and patients with preoperative lower BMI (β = - 1.524; 95% CI - 1.974, - 1.075; p < 0.001) achieved higher EWLP at 12th-month. High somatization score (β = 11.975; 95% CI 3.653, 20.296; p = 0.005) and a low Global Severity Index (GSI) score (β = - 24.276; 95% CI - 41.457, - 7.095; p = 0.006) had a positive effect on EWLP at 12th-month.
Conclusions: Preoperative psychological testing can help predict surgical outcomes in the bariatric population. More intense lifestyle and behavioral support can be applied by targeting patients who are expected to lose less weight after surgery, and patients' weight loss potential can be increased.

The administration of botulinum toxin A (BTA) into the gastric wall has emerged as a novel endoscopic bariatric procedure. Although over 20 years have elapsed since the initial human trial of intragastric BTA injection, considerable debate remains surrounding the safety, efficacy, and procedural instructions of this approach. The current literature exhibits discrepancies in the methodologies employed across studies, including differences in the dosage of BTA administered, injection site, number and depth of injections, post-procedural dietary modifications, and follow-up duration.

Background/purpose: Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a pathogen with a negative economic impact on the global swine industry. In 2019, a suspected highly pathogenic strain, NPUST-108-929/2019 (108-929), was isolated from a pig farm in Pingtung with an outbreak of high mortality and analyzed. The characteristics of PRRSV 108-929 have barely been studied.

Replacing traditional plastic mulch with fully biodegradable mulch is an important research direction to solve the problem of "white pollution," but whether it can truly realize biodegradation is still the focus of many scholars. In this study, field and indoor experiments were carried out in Pingluo County, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, using poly（butyleneadipate-co-terephthalate） （PBAT） fully biodegradable mulch film and ordinary polyethylene （PE） mulch film, with no mulch film （CK） as the control. Macroscopic characteristics such as the degree of apparent cracking of the mulch film, loss of the mulch film area, and the rate of weight loss were observed, and the results were combined with the results of scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FTIR）, and thermogravimetry （TGR）.
