: Vascular aging is associated with increased arterial stiffness and changes in the wall structure, leading to a loss of elasticity. Silicon is abundant in arteries and plays a key role in the synthesis and stabilization of elastin fibers. In animal models of accelerated cardiovascular aging, a specific nutritional supplement based on silicon-enriched spirulina (SpSi) has been shown to have beneficial effects on vascular function.

Epigenetic modulation plays a crucial role in neuroprotection by regulating cellular responses to stress, inflammation, and oxidative damage, particularly in neurodegenerative diseases. Recognizing the therapeutic potential of epigenetic regulators, this study investigated the synergistic neuroprotective effects of curcumin-enriched turmeric extract combined with L-ascorbic acid, focusing on its modulation of epigenetic pathways in oxidative stress-induced neuronal damage. SH-SY5Y neuronal cells were treated with the combination at 20 and 40 µg/mL, and subsequently exposed to 200 µM hydrogen peroxide (HO) to induce oxidative stress.

: Online medical consultation (OMC) platforms have become an essential tool for facilitating communication between doctors and patients, providing an efficient way for patients to access healthcare services. However, research on the key drivers of patient satisfaction within this context remains limited. This study aims to identify and prioritize the key factors influencing patient satisfaction on OMC platforms, with a focus on the Chinese "Chunyu Doctor" app as a case study.

Background: China has the highest number of diabetics globally, necessitating refined disease management strategies. Diabetes Internet-based nursing clinic services (INCS) can significantly improve health behaviors, blood glucose levels, and help prevent complications. The services mainly rely on the Internet platform for nurses' door-to-door service abroad, while China's "Internet + Nursing Service" combines online and offline modes.

The thermal conversion of municipal sewage sludge (MSS) offers significant potential for sustainable waste management, particularly through the production of biochar. This study investigates the properties and soil application effects of three biochar types produced via pyrolysis: (i) pure sewage sludge (100%), (ii) sewage sludge blended with sawdust (50%+50%), and (iii) sewage sludge combined with sawdust and zeolite (50%+45%+5%). These biochars were applied at rates of 2.
