Article Synopsis
  • This study examines the prevalence of sarcopenic obesity in patients with gastric cancer and its negative effects on health outcomes.
  • Researchers analyzed data from 16 studies, finding that 16.3% of gastric cancer patients had sarcopenic obesity, which correlated with shortened survival and increased risks of complications after surgery.
  • The findings emphasize the importance of early assessment for sarcopenic obesity in gastric cancer patients to help reduce adverse health outcomes.

The article summarizes the relevant factors to the therapeutic effect of moxibustion on knee osteoarthritis, including the origin and storage time of moxa leaves, the time of moxibustion, the numbers of moxa cone, and the temperature when moxibustion is operated. in Qichun county stored for over 3 years is the best regarding its property; and it is recommended for about 40 min in suspended moxibustion; and the heat-sensitive moxibustion is determined when the sensation of moxibustion disappears; and in terms of moxibustion techniques and the numbers of moxa cone, two moxa cones are optimal in warm needling, but the highly applicable duration of moxibustion needs to be confirmed through more high-quality studies. There are few studies on the other influencing factors, such as the specific operation of suspended moxibustion, the angle of knee flexion, treatment sequence, light and smoking factors, moxibustion method and disease staging and type; and the studies are limited in the comparison in terms of the middle-term and long-term efficacy, the comparison of the efficacy among different syndromes of traditional Chinese medicine in patients and the comparison among various frequencies and sessions of treatment.

Background: Online learning is prevalent among nursing students, but the effect of online learning seems not as good as expected. Deep learning, as a learning approach that could help people solve complex problems and make innovative decisions, is associated with individual behavior and psychology. However, from the perspective of individual behavior and psychology to explore the potential influence mechanism of deep learning in online courses is little, in China or indeed internationally.

Article Synopsis
  • MiaE is a unique enzyme from Salmonella typhimurium that catalyzes the hydroxylation of a modified nucleotide in specific tRNA molecules using oxygen, leading to a chemical transformation of these nucleotides.
  • The study generated isopentenylated tRNA substrates from small RNA segments and measured the enzyme's activity and efficiency through a series of experiments, revealing that MiaE exhibits a high selectivity and efficiency when interacting with tRNA.
  • Investigations into the interactions between tRNA and MiaE showed that these interactions cause significant changes in the enzyme's structure and electronic properties, which enhance its catalytic function.

Post-transcriptional modifications of tRNA are made to structurally diversify tRNA. These modifications alter noncovalent interactions within the ribosomal machinery, resulting in phenotypic changes related to cell metabolism, growth, and virulence. MiaE is a carboxylate bridged, nonheme diiron monooxygenase, which catalyzes the O2-dependent hydroxylation of a hypermodified-tRNA nucleoside at position 37 (2-methylthio-N(6)-isopentenyl-adenosine(37)-tRNA) [designated ms(2)i(6)A37].
