Article Abstract
The present study investigated the internal consistency reliability, construct validity, and item response characteristics of a newly developed Vietnamese version of the Kessler 6 (K6) scale among hospital nurses in Hanoi, Vietnam. The K6 was translated into the Vietnamese language following a standard procedure. A survey was conducted of nurses in a large general hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam, using a questionnaire including the Vietnamese K6, other scales (DASS21, health-related QOL, self-rated health, and psychosocial work environment), and questions about demographic variables. Internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's alpha coefficient) was calculated. A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted. Eleven hypotheses were tested (as Pearson's correlations with the K6) to assess the scale's construct validity. Item response theory (IRT) analysis was conducted to identify the item response characteristics. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.864. The explanatory and confirmatory factor analyses indicated a one-factor structure. Most hypotheses tested for construct validity were supported. IRT analysis indicated that response categories were located in order according to severity. K6 provided reliable information regarding higher levels of psychological distress. The findings suggest that the Vietnamese version of the K6 is a reliable and valid instrument to measure psychological distress among hospital nurses in Vietnam.

The emergence of organoid models has significantly bridged the gap between traditional cell cultures/animal models and authentic human disease states, particularly for genetic disorders, where their inherent genetic fidelity enables more biologically relevant research directions and enhances translational validity. This review systematically analyzes established organoid models of genetic diseases across organs (e.g.

Objective: This study aimed to identify key predictors of uterine fibroid (UF) recurrence following laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) in reproductive-age women and to construct a predictive nomogram to support individualized clinical decision-making.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 459 women who underwent LM. Recurrence of UFs and risk of recurrence were analyzed.

This study aimed to develop a predictive model and construct a graded nomogram to estimate the risk of severe acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients without preexisting kidney dysfunction undergoing liver transplantation (LT). Patients undergoing LT between January 2022 and June 2023 were prospectively screened. Severe AKI was defined as Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes stage 3.

Background: Sexual dimorphism in human brain has garnered significant attention in neuroscience research. Although multiple investigations have examined sexual dimorphism in gray matter (GM) functional connectivity (FC), the research of white matter (WM) FC remains relatively limited.
Methods: Utilizing resting-state fMRI data from 569 healthy young adults, we investigated sexual dimorphism in the WM functional connectome.

In modern drug discovery, there is a pressing need for rapid, cost-effective, and accessible methods to evaluate the biological activities of newly synthesized compounds. Traditional kinase assay platforms are often labor-intensive, time-consuming, and require specialized equipment or expertise. To address these limitations, we developed and validated a convenient in vitro kinase assay based on a recombinant biosensor, Picchu-B, constructed using a bacterial expression system.
