Background: Psychiatric nurses are more likely to experience psychological distress due to various factors in work and life. Establishing an early warning model of psychological distress for psychiatric nurses is helpful for reducing the incidence of psychological distress.

Aims: To explore the influencing factors of psychological distress in psychiatric nurses and construct and verify a risk prediction nomogram model.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines how the ageing process of sorghum vinegar affects its toxicity and biological activity, focusing on intermediate Maillard reaction products and their hepatoprotective effects.
  • Using techniques like HPLC and fluorescence spectrophotometry, researchers found significant increases in harmful compounds during the vinegar's 18-month ageing.
  • The results suggest that pure melanoidin from vinegar can protect against liver damage in rats, indicating a need for shorter ageing times to ensure safety and highlight melanoidin's potential in preventing liver oxidative stress.

This study aims to use metal ion coordinating method to improve the bioactivity and anti-hydrolysis ability of bioactive peptides. We demonstrated that zinc (Zn) coordination (10:1 mass ratio of peptide to Zn, pH 6.8, 37 °C) induced assembly of oat peptides, improved pancreatic lipase (PL) inhibitory activity by 30.

Article Synopsis
  • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes debilitating joint pain and swelling, with existing treatments being expensive and prone to side effects.
  • A traditional remedy called strychnine, known for its joint treatment properties, is being studied for its effectiveness in reducing pain and slowing disease progression when combined with another compound, though it is toxic on its own.
  • Recent research utilized advanced analysis techniques to demonstrate that this combination may lead to cell death in harmful synovial cells and reduce activity in specific inflammatory pathways, suggesting a potential new treatment strategy for RA.

Studies on the control of lipid digestion by food-derived active substances have prioritized the direct inhibition of lipase, ignoring the influence of these substances on the stability of bile salt (BS)-stabilized oil emulsions, which are essential for the hydrolysis of triglycerides by lipase. This study aimed to demonstrate the inhibitory potential of oat peptides (OPs) on lipolysis due to lipase inhibition, in particular, the physicochemical destruction of BS-stabilized emulsions. OPs were characterized by an enterostatin-like X-Pro-Y-Pro-Arg terminal sequence, competitively and/or noncompetitively inhibited lipase, and even caused lipase conformational changes.

Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is a severe hypertension-related disorder occurring during pregnancy that leads to significant mortality and morbidity in both the foetus and mother. Atractylenolide (ATL), a traditional Chinese natural agent isolated from the herb Atractylodes macrocephala, exhibits a series of pharmacological activities, including anti-oxidative stress and anti-inflammatory effects.

Purpose: The impacts of ATL on apoptosis and oxidative stress in HTR-8/SVneo cells during PE development was investigated.

Background: Preeclampsia (PE), a serious pregnancy disorder, is responsible for maternal and fetal mortality worldwide. At present, numerous candidate biomarkers have been studied to predict PE.

Objective: To explore the role of Corin in PE risk prediction and then evaluate the predictive ability of soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1 (sFlt-1), placenta growth factor (PLGF), and sFlt-1/PLGF after the addition of Corin.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of TCM for reinforcing Shen and activating blood circulation to dredge Channels in auxiliary treating chronic aplastic anemia (CAA), and to explore its mechanism.

Methods: Seventy-nine patients with CAA were randomly divided into the treated group treated with TCM plus western medicine and the control group treated with western medicine alone. The clinical efficacy was observed and levels of plasma sFas and sFasL before and after treatment were determined by ELISA.
