Background: Guided by the reserve capacity model, we examined the roles of socioeconomic status (SES), reserve capacity, and negative emotions as determinants of pain in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).

Methods: The study used cross-sectional baseline data from 106 adults in a clinical trial comparing behavioral treatments for RA. Structural equation modeling evaluated the direct effects of SES, reserve capacity (helplessness, self-efficacy, social support) and negative emotions (stress and depressive symptoms) on pain, and the indirect effects of SES as mediated by reserve capacity and negative emotions.

Results: Results showed that low SES contributed to greater pain, through lower reserve capacity and higher negative emotions. Mediational analyses showed that reserve capacity and negative emotions partially mediated the effect of SES on pain.

Conclusions: The findings indicate that interventions that target negative emotions in patients with low SES may facilitate better pain control with RA.

Trial Registration: clinicaltrials.gov NCT00072657; 02/2004.

Sodium-based rechargeable batteries are some of the most promising candidates for electric energy storage with abundant sodium reserves, particularly, sodium-based dual-ion batteries (SDIBs) perform advantages in high work voltage (≈5.0 V), high-power density, and potentially low cost. However, irreversible electrolyte decomposition and co-intercalation of solvent molecules at the electrode interface under a high charge state are blocking their development.

School of Marine Science and Engineering, Collaborative Innovation Center of Marine Science and Technology, Hainan University, 570228, Haikou, China. Electronic address:

The scleractinian corals conduct various responses upon heat stress such as bleaching and tissue loss, and colonies from the same coral species can conduct differential physiological activities with the biochemical basis unknown. In the present study, factors that influence the heat stress responses in coral Pocillopora damicornis were investigated. It was observed that P.

Context: The decline in ovarian reserve is a major concern in female reproductive health, often associated with oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Although ginsenoside Rg1 is known to modulate mitophagy, its effectiveness in mitigating ovarian reserve decline remains unclear.

Objective: To investigate the role of ginsenoside Rg1 in promoting mitophagy to preserve ovarian reserve.
