Background: Anxiety is a common and significant problem in patients who need to undergo colonoscopy. However, the question of which non-pharmacological intervention is the best strategy to reduce anxiety in patients undergoing colonoscopy remains unanswered.
Objectives: To evaluate and rank the effectiveness of various non-pharmacological interventions for reducing anxiety in patients undergoing colonoscopy in order to identify the most effective strategies.
Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is regarded as one of the main global health problems. Accumulated evidence indicates that fruit-derived polyphenols can lower the risk of ALD, this attributed to their strong antioxidant capacities. Thinned immature kiwifruits (TIK) are the major agro-byproducts in the production of kiwifruits, which have abundantly valuable polyphenols.

- Discarded unripe kiwifruits (DUKs) are a major byproduct in kiwifruit production, yet their potential as valuable food sources is underexplored due to limited knowledge on their phytochemicals compared to mature fruits.* -
- A study comparing the phenolic compounds and bioactivity of unripe, mature, and overripe kiwifruits revealed that DUKs contain significantly higher levels of beneficial phenolic compounds and exhibit stronger antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.* -
- The findings suggest that DUKs have considerable potential for use in the food industry, encouraging further exploration and development of their applications as functional foods.*
Chili anthracnose is one of the most common and destructive fungal pathogens that affects the yield and quality of pepper. Although WRKY proteins play crucial roles in pepper resistance to a variety of pathogens, the mechanism of their resistance to anthracnose is still unknown. In this study, we found that expression was obviously induced by infection and salicylic acid (SA) treatments.
