The results confirmed that βOHB modulated serum level of AST, ALT, insulin, IL-6 and TNF-α, protein expression of mTOR and LC3-II/LC3-I ratio, pAMPK and p62 in liver aging model induced by d-galactose or γ-irradiation. Histopathological examination results of liver tissue indicated coincidence with those recorded by molecular biochemical inspection. Taken together, these findings suggest that βOHB may be useful in combating hepatic cellular senescence induced by d-galactose or γ-irradiation via autophagy dependent mechanisms.
The aim of this study was to illuminate differences in guidelines for external cephalic version (ECV) for breech presentation at or near term and assess their impact on effectiveness of the procedure in order to improve policymaking.
Guidelines from all Swedish ECV providers (hospitals with labor wards, n = 44) were retrieved in 2019 and assessed for similarities and differences. The scoring system based on the identified differences in timing, contraindications and periprocedural care was created. The hospitals were subsequently classified into either restrictive or liberal with regard to ECV. This classification was verified by comparing selection of patients for ECV attempts between the two groups. Our main outcomes were ECV success rate and effectiveness in reducing the remaining breech births and breech cesarean sections.
Important differences in timing of ECV, contraindications, periprocedural care, and counselling after failed ECV attempt were found. Two thirds of the hospitals were considered lind breech cesarean sections, which is the aim of ECV. We recommend avoiding routine ill-founded restrictivity in ECV guidelines and support a more nuanced counselling.
We aimed to analyze the changing level of anxiety during COVID-19 pandemic in pregnant women, with and without high-risk indicators separately, in a tertiary care center serving also for COVID-19 patients, in the capital of Turkey.
We designed a case-control and cross-sectional study using surveys. The Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Scale questionnaire (STAI-T) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) which were validated in Turkish were given to outpatient women with high-risk pregnancies as study group and normal pregnancies as control group. A total of 446 women were recruited.
There was a statistically significant difference between those with and without high-risk pregnancy in terms of Trait-State Anxiety scores with COVID-19 pandemic (p < 0.05). We found an increased prevalence of anxiety during COVID-19 pandemic in high-risk pregnant women comparing to pregnancies with no risk factors (p < 0.05). There was a statistically significant difference between the education level in high-risk pregnant womVID-19 pandemic.
High-risk pregnant women require routine anxiety and depression screening and psychosocial support during the COVID-19 pandemic. High-risk pregnancy patients have comorbid conditions most of the time, hence they not only at more risk for getting infected, but also have higher anxiety scores because of the stress caused by COVID-19 pandemic.
To explore the effects of two functional genetic variants of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) on the susceptibility to epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), the platinum-based chemotherapeutic response, and the prognosis of northern Chinese patients.
This case-control study included 710 EOC patients in the case group and 700 healthy women in the control group. Two polymorphisms (rs1136410 and rs8679) of PARP-1 were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction and ligase detection reaction.
The genotype frequencies of rs1136410 and rs8679 were not significantly different between the case and control groups. However, the CC genotype of rs1136410 was significantly associated with a favorable response to platinum drugs. Compared with the TT genotype, the CC genotype of rs1136410 was related to a reduced risk of platinum resistance (adjusted OR 0.40; 95% CI = 0.24-0.67; P = 0.001). In addition, multivariable analysis containing clinical variables showed that patients who carried the rs1136410 CC genotype had a significantly improved progression-free survival compared with patients who carried the TT genotype (HR = 0.67, 95% CI = 0.47-0.97, P = 0.031).
The rs1136410 polymorphism may serve as a potential marker for predicting the response to platinum agents and prognosis of EOC patients treated with surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy.

The results showed that under conditions of temperature (32 °C), pH (3.5), solid-liquid ratio (10%), culture time (20 d), the degradation rates of lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose were 43.36%, 31.29%, 48.36%, respectively. The construction of combined bacteria significantly enhances the degradation ability of lignocellulose, and showed good correlation and coordination mechanism.The performance of nitrate removal by Pseudomonas mendocina GL6 cells immobilized on bamboo biochar was investigated. The results showed that immobilized bacterial cells performed better nitrate removal than the free bacterial cells, and the nitrate removal rate increased from 6.51 mg/(L·h) of free cells to 8.34 mg/(L·h) of immobilized cells. The nitrate removal of immobilized bacterial cells fitted well to the zero-order kinetics model. Moreover, bath experiments showed that immobilized bacterial cells displayed more nitrate removal capacity under different conditions than free bacterial cells due to the protection of biochar carrier. The subsequent mechanistic study suggested that biochar promoted the expression level of denitrification functional genes (napA and nirK) and electron transfer genes involved in denitrification (napB and napC), which resulted in the increase of nitrate removal efficiency. Thus, biochar-immobilized P. mendocina GL6 has much potential to remove nitrate from wastewater via aerobic denitrification.Hydrogen production from renewable resources via microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) is a promising approach for sustainable energy production. Yet high hydrogen yield from real feedstocks has not been demonstrated in up-scaled MECs. In this study, a 10-L single chamber MEC with a high electrode surface area to volume ratio (66 m2/m3) was constructed and electroactive cathodic biofilms were enriched for hydrogen evolution reaction. A high hydrogen yield of 91% was achieved using lignocellulosic hydrolysate with a hydrogen production rate of 0.71 L/L/D at an organic loading rate of 0.4 g/D. learn more The anodic and cathodic microbial communities, with Enterococcus spp. as the known electroactive bacteria, were capable of achieving current densities of 13.7 A/m2 and 16.5 A/m2, respectively. A machine learning algorithm was used to investigate the correlation between community data and electrochemical performance, and the critical genera on determining current density were identified.The availability of phosphorus (P) in estuarine ecosystems is ultimately controlled by the nature of interactions between dissolved P and the soil components (e.g., soil minerals), especially iron (Fe) oxyhydroxides. P retention on Fe oxyhydroxides and its subsequent availability depends on mineral crystallinity and susceptibility to dissolution. However, in estuarine soils, geochemical conditions (e.g., redox oscillation and high soil organic matter content) may alter the fate of P and decrease the environmental quality of estuarine waters. The large input of Fe-rich tailings into the Rio Doce Estuary in Brazil in 2015 after a rupture of a Fe ore tailings dam (i.e., "Mariana mine disaster") offers a unique framework to evaluate the Fe oxyhydroxides role in P availability in estuarine soils, their potential effects on the cycling of P and eutrophication. We observed a significant correlation between Fe minerals and the P content in the estuary soils, suggesting that P enrichment was promoted by the deposited tential eutrophication.Forensic latent print examiners usually but do not always reproduce each other's conclusions. Using data from tests of experts conducting fingerprint comparisons, we show the extent to which differing conclusions can be explained in terms of the images, and in terms of the examiners. Some images are particularly prone to disagreements or erroneous conclusions; the highest and lowest quality images generally result in unanimous conclusions. The variability among examiners can be seen as the effect of implicit individual decision thresholds, which we demonstrate are measurable and differ substantially among examiners; this variation may reflect differences in skill, risk tolerance, or bias. Much of the remaining variability relates to inconsistency of the examiners themselves borderline conclusions (i.e., close to individual decision thresholds) often were not repeated by the examiners themselves, and tended to be completed more slowly and rated difficult. A few examiners have significantly higher error rates than most aggregate error rates of many examiners are not necessarily representative of individual examiners. The use of a three-level conclusion scale does not precisely represent the underlying agreements and disagreements among examiners. We propose a new method of quantifying examiner skill that would be appropriate for use in proficiency tests. These findings are operationally relevant to staffing, quality assurance, and disagreements among experts in court.
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have a negative impact on childhood health, but their impact on education outcomes is less well known. We investigated whether or not ACEs were associated with reduced educational attainment at age 7 and 11 years.
The study design used in the study is a population-based electronic cohort study.
We analysed data from a total population electronic child cohort in Wales, UK. ACEs (exposures) were living with an adult household member with any of (i) serious mental illness, (ii) common mental disorder (CMD), (iii) an alcohol problem; (iv) child victimisation, (v) death of a household member and (vi) low family income. We used multilevel logistic regression to model exposure to these ACEs and not attaining the expected level at statutory education assessments, Key Stage (KS) 1 and KS2 separately, adjusted for known confounders including perinatal, socio-economic and school factors.
There were 107,479 and 43,648 children included in the analysis, with follow-up to 6-7 yeeen health and care services, and schools to initiate and facilitate a coordinated approach towards providing additional support and help for them to fulfil their educational potential, and subsequent economic and social participation.
The educational potential of many children may not be achieved due to exposure to adversity in childhood. Affected children who come in to contact with services should have relevant information shared between health and care services, and schools to initiate and facilitate a coordinated approach towards providing additional support and help for them to fulfil their educational potential, and subsequent economic and social participation.
