Development and validation of a prediction nomogram for depressive symptoms in gout patients.

Objective: The objective of the study was to explore the risk factors for depressive symptoms in patients with gout and to construct and validate a nomogram model. Methods: From October 2022 to July 2023, a total of 469 gout patients from a Class iii Grade A hospital in Northeast China were selected as the research objects by the convenience sampling method. The General Information Questionnaire, Self-Rating Depression Scale, Gout Knowledge Questionnaire, Self-Efficacy Scale for Managing Chronic Disease (SEMCD), and Social Support Rating Scale were used to conduct the survey. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to establish a depression risk prediction model and construct a nomogram. The bootstrap method was used to verify the performance of the model. Results: The detection rate of depressive symptoms in gout patients was 25.16%. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that male, the number of tophi, acute attack period, lack of knowledge about gout, the number of attacks in the past year, and the duration of the last attack were independent risk factors for post-gout depression. Female, interictal period, chronic arthritis period, knowledge of gout, and social support were protective factors for post-gout depression (p < 0.05). The calibration (χ2 = 11.348, p = 0.183, p > 0.05) and discrimination (AUC = 0.858, 95%CI: 0.818-0.897) of the nomogram model for depressive symptoms in gout patients were good. Conclusion: The prevalence of depressive symptoms in gout patients is high, and it is affected by gender, current disease stage, number of tophi, gout knowledge level, the number of attacks in the past year, and the last attack days. The nomogram model is scientific and practical for predicting the occurrence of depressive symptoms in gout patients.

Fluorescence immunochromatographic detection of antibodies to the p72 protein of African swine fever virus.

The African swine fever virus (ASFV), a highly contagious pathogen responsible for African swine fever (ASF), causes significant economic losses in the global pork industry. Due to its large and complex structure, ASFV remains refractory to commercial vaccine development, necessitating the creation of rapid, sensitive, and specific diagnostic tools for disease control. In this study, quantum dots were conjugated to ASFV p72 protein to establish a fluorescent immunochromatographic assay for detecting ASFV-specific antibodies. The assay test strips contained four adjacent pads arranged sequentially: a sample-application pad, a pad containing mobile antigen-probe conjugate, a nitrocellulose readout pad featuring a test line containing immobilised staphylococcal protein A and a control line containing immobilised monoclonal antibodies against the ASFV p72 protein, and an absorbent pad driving the directional flow of liquid via capillary action. The resulting fluorescence immunochromatographic assay demonstrated highly sensitive and specific ASFV antibody detection in under 15 min. Specificity testing showed no cross-reactivity with serum antibodies against other viruses and sensitivity surpassing that of commercial ASFV antibody colloidal gold immunochromatographic test strips. This novel approach offers rapid detection, excellent specificity, and high sensitivity, and supports the future development of fluorescent immunochromatographic test strips for ASFV antibody detection.

Development of quantum dot-based immunochromatographic strip for detection of antibodies against ASFV pp62.

ASFV is the only known double-stranded insect-borne DNA virus, which can rapidly infect domestic pigs and wild boars with ticks as transmission medium. Since it was first discovered in 1921, it quickly spread to all parts of the world and brought huge economic losses to the pig industry all over the world. At present, there is still no safe and effective vaccine for ASFV. Here, we developed a quantum-dot labeled antibody test strip for the detection of antibodies against ASFV pp62. The pp62 protein was labeled with quantum dots, and the antibody test strip was developed uses it in a detection mode of labeled antigen-SPA interceptor-monoclonal antibody quality control. The test strip showed high sensitivity, the positive detection limit of the strip was 1: 106 by continuous multiple dilution using the positive standard serum of ASFV antibody as reference. The test strip showed good specificity, and there was no cross reaction with other swine diseases virus (PCV2, PRRSV, CSFV, PPV). Using the detection results of commercialized kit for African swine fever virus as reference, 80 ASFV antibody negative sera and 4 different ASFV antibody positive sera were detected using the ASFV pp62 quantum-dot labeled antibody test strip. The results were consistent with the commercial kit. This study provides a new detection method for the prevention and control of African swine fever.

A Path Analysis on Quality of Life of People With HIV: Validation and Refinement of the Self-Regulatory HIV/AIDS Symptom Management Model.

ABSTRACT: This study explored the path affecting the quality of life (QOL) of people with HIV in China and clarified the applicability and interpretability of the Self-Regulatory HIV/AIDS Symptom Management Model. We conducted a cross-sectional survey in nine regions of China and collected information about demographics, symptom experience, social support, perceived symptom manageability, self-efficacy, and QOL. A total of 711 patients participated in this survey. After four rounds of path analysis were conducted, the most fit indices met the standards (χ 2 /df = 2.633, Root Mean Square Error of Approximation = 0.081, Goodness-of-Fit Index/Adjusted Goodness-of-Fit Index/Comparative Fit Index/Incremental Fit Index/Tucker-Lewis Coefficient > 0.9), and the relationships between variables were statistically significant ( p < .05). Among all the pathways, social support had the most significant impact on the QOL, with a total path coefficient of 0.665. Symptom experience, as a negative factor, had a total effect value of -0.361. This study showed how all the factors influencing QOL were interconnected, serving as a crucial theoretical foundation for intervention strategies in future clinical practice.

Pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell pyroptosis promotes the proliferation of PASMCs by paracrine IL­1ß and IL­18 in monocrotaline­induced pulmonary arterial hypertensive rats.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a common vascular disease, and pulmonary vascular remodeling is a pivotal pathophysiological mechanism of PAH. Major pathological changes of pulmonary arterial remodeling, including proliferation, hypertrophy and enhanced secretory activity, can occur in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs). Multiple active factors and cytokines play important roles in PAH. However, the regulatory mechanisms of the active factors and cytokines in PAH remain unclear. The present study aimed to reveal the crucial role of PASMC pyroptosis in PAH and to elucidate the intrinsic mechanisms. To establish the PAH rat models, Sprague-Dawley rats were injected intraperitoneally with monocrotaline (MCT) at a dose of 60 mg/kg. The expression of proteins and interleukins were detected by western blotting and ELISA assay. The results indicated that the pyroptosis of PASMCs is significantly increased in MCT-induced PAH rats. Notably, pyroptotic PASMCs can secret IL-1ß and IL-18 to promote the proliferation of PASMCs. On this basis, inhibiting the secretion of IL-1ß and IL-18 can markedly inhibit PASMC proliferation. Collectively, the findings of the present study indicate a critical role for PASMC pyroptosis in MCT-induced PAH rats, prompting a new preventive and therapeutic strategy for PAH.

A highly sensitive electrochemical immunosensor based on rGO-PEI-Ag nanocomposites for the detection of tilmicosin.

A label-free electrochemical immunosensor was developed to rapidly detect tilmicosin (TMC) residues in pork and milk. The immunosensor was constructed by immobilizing a high-affinity monoclonal antibody against TMC on an rGO-PEI-Ag nanocomposite-modified electrode. The rGO-PEI-Ag nanocomposites were prepared by mixing polyethyleneimine (PEI) modified reduced graphene oxide (rGO) with AgNO3 solution. The prepared rGO-PEI-Ag nanocomposites showed good redox activity and conductivity, as characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). During the preparation process, staphylococcal protein A (SPA) was added to targetedly bind the Fc segment of the monoclonal antibody. The immunosensor showed a low detection limit (LOD) of 0.0013 ng/mL, a linear range of 0.01-100 ng/mL, and recoveries ranging from 92.77 to 100.02% in pork and 92.26-101.23% in milk. Furthermore, the immunosensor exhibited good stability, reproducibility, and specificity in detecting TMC in pork and milk real samples.

Lipid-lowering effect and oral transport characteristics study of curculigoside.

Introduction: The incidence of metabolic disorders during pregnancy is increasing year by year, with diseases including hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Statins are the primary drugs for treating hyperlipidemia or atherosclerosis, yet some patients remain unresponsive to them, and pregnant women are prohibited from taking statins. Curculigoside is the major biologically active natural product present in Curculigo orchioides. Methods: In this study, A high-fat mice model was developed to study the lipid-lowering effect of curculigoside. Using intestinal Caco-2 cell monolayer, the curculigoside transport properties at two temperatures and possible transporters were systemically studied. Results: Curculigoside at concentrations used during the experiments have no toxic effect to Caco-2 cells. The curculigoside transfer from the apical to the basolateral side was strongly influenced by temperature. P-glycoprotein, breast cancer resistance protein, and efflux transporters are crucial components of the human intestinal cell line Caco-2. The curculigoside can significantly affect the contents of total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in mice. Discussion: The transport properties and potential mechanism of curculigoside offer valuable insights for the design of development of hypolipidemic drugs like anti-atherosclerotic drugs and also be helpful to the further study of the pharmacological activity of curculigoside.

Facile Polymer of Intrinsic Microporosity-Modified Separator with Quite-Low Loading for Enhanced-Performance Lithium Metal Batteries.

Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) using Li metals as anodes are conspicuous for high-energy-density energy-storage devices. However, the nonuniform deposition of Li+ ions leading to uncontrolled Li dendrite growth, which adversely affects electrochemical performance and safety, has impeded the practical application of lithium metal batteries (LMBs). Herein, PIM-1, a type of polymer of intrinsic microporosity (PIM), was utilized for surface engineering of conventional polyolefin separators. This process resulted in the formation of a continuous and homogeneous coating across the separator, facilitating uniform Li+ ion flux and deposition, and consequently reducing dendrite formation. Notably, the loading mass was quite low (0.6 g/m2) through the convenient dipping method. The intrinsic micropores and polar groups (cyano and ether groups) of PIM-1 greatly improved the electrolyte wettability and ionic conductivity of commercial polypropylene (PP) separators. And the PIM-1 coating guided Li+ flux to achieve uniform Li deposition. Moreover, the polar groups (cyano and ether groups) of PIM-1 are beneficial to the desolvation of Li+-solvates. As a result, the synergetic effect of uniform Li+ flux, desolvation, and enhanced mechanical strength of separators brings about considerable improvement in cycle life, suppression of Li dendrite, and Coulombic efficiency for LMBs. As this surface engineering is simple, relatively low-cost, and effective, this work provides fresh insights into separators for LMBs.

A new classification for emergency critically ill patients and analysis of their adverse events during intrahospital transport: A cluster analysis.

BACKGROUND: Critical patients may experience various adverse events during transportation within hospitals. Therefore, quickly evaluating and classifying patients before transporting them from the emergency department and focusing on managing high-risk patients are critical. At present, no unified classification method exists; all the current approaches are subjective. AIMS: To ensure transportation safety, we conducted a cluster analysis of critically ill patients transferred from the emergency department to the intensive care unit. STUDY DESIGN: Single-centre cohort study. This study was conducted at a comprehensive first-class teaching hospital in Beijing. Convenience sampling and continuous enrolment were employed. We collected data from 1 January 2019, to 31 December 2021. All patients were transferred from the emergency department to the intensive care unit, and cluster analysis was conducted using five variables. RESULTS: A total of 584 patients were grouped into three clusters. Cluster 1 (high systolic blood pressure group) included 208 (35.6%) patients. Cluster 2 (high heart rate and low blood oxygen group) included 55 (9.4%) patients. Cluster 3 (normal group) included the remaining 321 (55%) patients. The oxygen saturation levels of all the patients were lower after transport, and the proportion of adverse events (61.8%) was the highest in Cluster 2 (p < .05). CONCLUSIONS: This study utilized data on five important vital signs from a cluster analysis to explore possible patient classifications and provide a reference for ensuring transportation safety. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Before transferring patients, we should classify them and implement targeted care. Changes in blood oxygen levels in all patients should be considered, with a focus on the occurrence of adverse events during transportation among patients with high heart rates and low blood oxygen levels.

Nebulized milk exosomes loaded with siTGF-ß1 ameliorate pulmonary fibrosis by inhibiting EMT pathway and enhancing collagen permeability.

Pulmonary Fibrosis (PF) is a fatal disease in the interstitial lung associated with high mortality, morbidity, and poor prognosis. Transforming growth factor-ß1 (TGF-ß1) is a fibroblast-activating protein that promotes fibrous diseases. Herein, an inhalable system was first developed using milk exosomes (M-Exos) encapsulating siRNA against TGF-ß1 (MsiTGF-ß1), and their therapeutic potential for bleomycin (BLM)-induced PF was investigated. M-siTGF-ß1 was introduced into the lungs of mice with PF through nebulization. The collagen penetration effect and lysosomal escape ability were verified in vitro. Inhaled MsiTGF-ß1 notably alleviated inflammatory infiltration, attenuated extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition, and increased the survival rate of PF mice by 4.7-fold. M-siTGF-ß1 protected lung tissue from BLM toxicity by efficiently delivering specific siRNA to the lungs, leading to TGF-ß1 mRNA silencing and epithelial mesenchymal transition pathway inhibition. Therefore, M-siTGF-ß1 offers a promising avenue for therapeutic intervention in fibrosis-related disorders.

Effectiveness of a self-determination theory-based intervention for nursing home residents with depression: A randomized controlled trial.

Objective and rationale: The prevalence of depression among older adults residing in nursing homes has risen. While physical activity interventions based on the self-determination theory have been shown to reduce depressive symptoms among students and middle-aged adults, research in nursing home residents is scarce. This study aimed to investigate whether physical activity can alleviate depressive symptoms in nursing home residents over an extended period. Methods: Between September 2020 and August 2021, 46 nursing home residents in Shenyang were randomly assigned to either a control group (n = 23) or an intervention group (n = 23). The control group followed a standard physical activity programme, whereas the intervention group underwent a programme based on self-determination theory. Both groups were monitored for 24 weeks post-intervention. Depression scores were assessed using the Geriatric Depression Scale, sociodemographic data collected via a self-designed questionnaire, cognitive function evaluated using the Mini-Mental State Examination, and weight and body fat measured using the Omron KARADA Scan Body Composition and Scale. Results: Depression scores were measured at five time points: baseline (T0), weeks 12 (T1), and 24 (T2) of the intervention, and weeks 12 (T3) and 24 (T4) during follow-up. Both groups exhibited a trend of decline by more than five points. The intervention group demonstrated more favourable pre-to-post changes in depression scores compared to the control group. Conclusions: A physical activity intervention based on self-determination conceptual framework has been proven to be effective for nursing home residents with depressive symptoms, also aiding in the maintenance of their physical activity levels. This study offers a theoretical foundation for the development of intervention programmes by researchers and identifies potential intervention strategies for caregivers in nursing homes.

A novel fluorescence immunoassay for the quantitative detection of florfenicol in animal-derived foods based on ZnCdSe/ZnS quantum dot labelled antibody.

Florfenicol (F), an antimicrobial agent exclusive to veterinary use within the chloramphenicol class, is extensively applied as a broad-spectrum remedy for animal diseases. Despite its efficacy, concerns arise over potential deleterious residues in animal-derived edibles, posing threats to human health. This study pioneers an innovative approach, introducing a quantum dot fluorescence-based immunoassay (FLISA) for the meticulous detection of F residues in animal-derived foods and feeds. This method demonstrates heightened sensitivity, with a detection limit of 0.3 ng/mL and a quantitative detection range of 0.6-30.4 ng/mL. Method validation, applied to diverse food sources, yields recoveries from 90.4 % to 109.7 %, featuring RSDs within 1.3 % to 8.7 %, the results showed high consistency with the national standard HPLC-MS/MS detection method. These findings underscore the method's accuracy and precision, positioning it as a promising tool for swift and reliable F residue detection, with substantial implications for fortifying food safety monitoring.

Efficient delivery of the herbicide quinclorac by nanosuspension for enhancing deposition, uptake and herbicidal activity.

BACKGROUND: The presence of barnyardgrass poses a threat to global food security by reducing rice yields. Currently, herbicides are primarily applied for weed management. However, the effectiveness of herbicide deposition and uptake on barnyardgrass is limited as a consequence of the high wax content on leaves, low water solubility and extreme lipophilicity of herbicides. Therefore, it is imperative to develop novel formulations for efficient delivery of herbicides to improve herbicidal activity and reduce dosage. RESULTS: We successfully prepared nanosuspension(s) (NS) of quinclorac through the wet media milling technique. This NS demonstrates excellent physical stability and maintains nanoscale during dose transfer. The deposition concentration and uptake concentration of NS on barnyardgrass were 3.84-4.47- and 2.11-2.58-fold greater than those traditional formulations, respectively. Moreover, the NS exhibited enhanced herbicidal activity against barnyardgrass at half the dosage required by conventional formulations without compromising rice safety. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that NS can effectively facilitate the delivery of hydrophobic and poorly water-soluble herbicide active ingredients, thereby enhancing their deposition, uptake and bioactivity. This study expands the potential application of NS in pesticide delivery, which can provide valuable support for optimizing pesticide utilization, improving economic efficiency and mitigating environmental risks. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Insight into uniform filming of LiF-rich interphase via synergistic adsorption for high-performance lithium metal anode.

Multi-scale simulation is an important basis for constructing digital batteries to improve battery design and application. LiF-rich solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is experimentally proven to be crucial for the electrochemical performance of lithium metal batteries. However, the LiF-rich SEI is sensitive to various electrolyte formulas and the fundamental mechanism is still unclear. Herein, the structure and formation mechanism of LiF-rich SEI in different electrolyte formulas have been reviewed. On this basis, it further discussed the possible filming mechanism of LiF-rich SEI determined by the initial adsorption of the electrolyte-derived species on the lithium metal anode (LMA). It proposed that individual LiF species follow the Volmer-Weber mode of film growth due to its poor wettability on LMA. Whereas, the synergistic adsorption of additive-derived species with LiF promotes the Frank-Vander Merwe mode of film growth, resulting in uniform LiF deposition on the LMA surface. This perspective provides new insight into the correlation between high LiF content, wettability of LiF, and highperformance of uniform LiF-rich SEI. It disclosed the importance of additive assistant synergistic adsorption on the uniform growth of LiF-rich SEI, contributing to the reasonable design of electrolyte formulas and high-performance LMA, and enlightening the way for multi-scale simulation of SEI.

Exosome-mediated delivery platform of biomacromolecules into the brain: Cetuximab in combination with doxorubicin for glioblastoma therapy.

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have become the predominant treatment modality for various diseases due to their high affinity and specificity. Although antibodies also have great potential for neurological diseases, they couldn't fully meet the therapeutic requirements due to their high molecular weight and limitations in crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Herein, an innovative strategy based on exosomes (Exos) platform was developed to enhance the delivery of cetuximab (CTX) into the brain, and in combination with doxorubicin (DOX) for the synergistic targeted therapy of glioblastoma (GBM). The in vitro/vivo experiments have shown that exosomes could effectively promote BBB penetration and increase the content of CTX in glioma cells and brain lesions. Cytotoxicity and wound healing experiments have shown that CTX-Exo-DOX could significantly inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells. Finally, in vivo results showed that CTX-Exo-DOX significantly prolonged the survival time of tumor-bearing rats to 28 days, which was 1.47 times that of the DOX group. In summary, exosomes could deliver more antibodies into the brain, and CTX-Exo-DOX is a promising co-delivery system for the treatment of GBM. The results of this study will also provide a prospective strategy for antibody drugs in the treatment of neurological diseases.

Understanding the mechanism of safety attitude mitigates the turnover intention novice nurses via the person-centred method: A theory-driven, deductive cross-sectional study.

AIM: Examine profiles of safety attitudes among novices and explore whether profiles moderate the occupational identity-turnover pathway. BACKGROUND: Novice nurses face unique challenges in adopting positive safety attitudes, which influence outcomes like turnover. However, past research found only average levels of safety attitudes among novices, ignoring possible heterogeneity. Exploring whether meaningful subgroups exist based on safety perspectives and factors shaping them can provide insights to improve safety attitudes and retention. DESIGN: This study was designed as a cross-sectional investigation. METHODS: Data were collected through the distribution of questionnaires. Descriptive statistics were first conducted, followed by latent profile analysis. We then carried out univariate analysis and ordinal multinomial regression to explore the factors shaping the different profiles. Finally, we examine the moderating effect of nurses' safety attitudes with different latent profiles on the relationship between professional identification and turnover intention. RESULTS: A total of 816 novice nurses were included. Three profiles were identified: high, moderate and low safety attitudes - higher attitudes were associated with lower turnover intention. Interest in nursing, health status, identity and turnover predicted profile membership. Moderate profile had a stronger buffering effect on the identity-turnover link versus high profile. CONCLUSION: Multiple safety attitude profiles exist among novice nurses. Certain factors like interest in nursing and occupational identity are associated with more positive safety profiles. Targeting these factors could potentially improve safety attitudes and reduce turnover among novice nurses. The moderating effects suggest that tailored interventions matching specific subgroups may maximize impact. IMPACT: Assessing subgroup attitudes enables tailored training for novices' specific needs, nurturing continuous improvement. Supporting early career development and role identity may strengthen retention intentions.

Sexual experience in patients with coronary heart disease: a descriptive phenomenological study.

Sex is an essential part of life and is a basic demand for human beings. Coronary heart disease can have an impact on patients' sexual lives; however, not much attention has been paid to it in China, and few studies have been conducted on this topic. Therefore, this study used a qualitative approach to understand the sexual experience of patients after the illness, thus laying the foundation for the development of relevant measures. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 patients. Descriptive phenomenological methods were employed to collect data and explore the sexual experience of patients with coronary heart disease. A total of 4 thematic groups, 9 themes, and 23 subthemes were extracted. The four thematic groups were independent and cross-influenced. In these groups, alterations in the sexual experience, including the change in sexual physiology and psychological state, were affected by the lack of knowledge, age, disease, and other factors. Furthermore, the patient's perception of sexuality affected the quality of sexual life after the illness. The sexual experience of patients with coronary heart disease and its influencing factors, such as age, disease factors, and lack of related knowledge, were described. The findings are expected to aid in formulating targeted and personalized intervention measures.

The health management model had a multidisciplinary team low vision rehabilitation model, medical consortium two-way management model, low vision community comprehensive rehabilitation model, medical consortium-family contract service model, screening-referral-follow-up model, and three-level low vision care model. The health management strategy covers nine aspects, the combination of multi-element strategies is feasible, and network information technology has also shown positive results. Conclusion: In the future, under the Internet and hierarchical management model, we should provide demand-based personalized support to rationalize and scientifically achieve hierarchical management and improve resource utilization efficiency and eye health outcomes.

Development and application of a high-sensitivity immunochromatographic test strip for detecting pseudorabies virus.

Introduction: Pseudorabies (PR) is a multi-animal comorbid disease caused by pseudorabies virus (PRV), which are naturally found in pigs. At the end of 2011, the emergence of PRV variant strains in many provinces in China had caused huge economic losses to pig farms. Rapid detection diagnosis of pigs infected with the PRV variant helps prevent outbreaks of PR. The immunochromatography test strip with colloidal gold nanoparticles is often used in clinical testing due to its low cost and high throughput. Methods: This study was designed to produce monoclonal antibodies targeting PRV through immunization of mice using the eukaryotic system to express the gE glycoprotein. Subsequently, paired monoclonal antibodies were screened based on their sensitivity and specificity for use in the preparation of test strips. Results and discussion: The strip prepared in this study was highly specific, only PRV was detected, and there was no cross-reactivity with glycoprotein gB, glycoprotein gC, glycoprotein gD, and glycoprotein gE of herpes simplex virus and varicellazoster virus, porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, Senecavirus A, classical swine fever virus, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus, and porcine parvovirus. Moreover, it demonstrated high sensitivity with a detection limit of 1.336 × 103 copies/µL (the number of viral genome copies per microliter); the coincidence rate with the RT-PCR detection method was 96.4%. The strip developed by our laboratory provides an effective method for monitoring PRV infection and controlling of PR vaccine quality.
