文摘Bigeye tuna is a protein-rich fish that is susceptible to spoilage during cold storage,however,there is limited information on untargeted metabolomic profiling of bigeye tuna concerning spoilage-associated enzymes and metabolites.This study aimed to investigate how cold storage affects enzyme activities,nutrient composition,tissue microstructures and spoilage metabolites of bigeye tuna.The activities of cathepsins B,H,L increased,while Na^(+)/K^(+)-ATPase and Mg^(2+)-ATPase decreased,α-glucosidase,lipase and lipoxygenase first increased and then decreased during cold storage,suggesting that proteins undergo degradation and ATP metabolism occurs at a faster rate during cold storage.Nutrient composition(moisture and lipid content),total amino acids decreased,suggesting that the nutritional value of bigeye tuna was reduced.Besides,a logistic regression equation has been established as a food analysis tool and assesses the dynamics and correlation of the enzyme of bigeye tuna during cold storage.Based on untargeted metabolomic profiling analysis,a total of 524 metabolites were identified in the bigeye tuna contained several spoilage metabolites involved in lipid metabolism(glycerophosphocholine and choline phosphate),amino acid metabolism(L-histidine,5-deoxy-5′-(methylthio)adenosine,5-methylthioadenosine),carbohydrate metabolism(D-gluconic acid,α-D-fructose 1,6-bisphosphate,D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate).The results of tissue microstructures of tuna showed a looser network and visible deterioration of tissue fiber during cold storage.Therefore,metabolomic analysis and tissue microstructures provide insight into the spoilage mechanism investigations on bigeye tuna during cold storage.

文摘Objectives:This study aimed to explore the effectiveness and advantages of an“Internet+”nursing model based on user profilingin the rehabilitation of postoperative breast cancer patients.Methods:Breast cancer patients admitted to the hospital from July 2023 to September 2024 were enrolled.These patients were randomly assigned to a control group and an intervention group,with 52 patients in each group.The control group received routine nursing care,while the intervention group received an“Internet+”nursing intervention based on user profilingin addition to routine care.The intervention period lasted for one month following discharge.Before and one month after the intervention,the Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form(FOP-Q-SF),the Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory-Short Form(FCRI-SF),Chinese Posttraumatic Growth Inventory(C-PTGI),and the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast(FACT-B)were applied to assess the effects of interventions.Results:A total of 104 patients were analyzed.After the intervention,FOP-Q-SF and FCRI-SF scores were significantlylower in the intervention group compared to the control group,with statistical significance(t=3.98,P<0.001;t=-7.59,P<0.001),and Cohen’s d of 0.781 and 1.49,respectively.Additionally,CPTGI and FACT-B scores in the intervention group were significantly higher than those in the control group(t=-6.534,P<0.001;t=-4.579,P<0.001),with Cohen’s d of 0.585 and 0.656.Conclusions:An“Internet+”nursing model based on user profilingcould reduce postoperative breast cancer patients fear of disease progression and cancer recurrence,also enhancing posttraumatic growth and overall quality of life.
文摘目的:构建中草药来源的目标微小RNA(microRNA,miR)在小鼠肺组织中的靶基因谱检测方法,利用该方法检测清肺排毒汤所含miR-320—靶基因谱及其生物学功能,为清肺排毒汤治疗病毒性肺炎的分子机制补充miR维度的数据支撑。方法:采用二代高通量测序测定目标miR(miR-320)在清肺排毒汤中的表达情况,利用“结合态miR—靶基因抓取测序技术(capturing and sequencing of miRNA-target complex technology,CSCT)”初步检测其在小鼠肺组织中的靶基因谱,并采用Alphafold3验证检测结果,取其交集作为目标miR的靶基因谱;进而分析靶基因谱的功能,阐释清肺排毒汤通过miR-320在小鼠肺组织中的调控功能;此外,将检测结果与TargetScan的预测结果进行比对,验证本检测方法(CSCT+Alphafold3序贯检测法)的优势。结果:高通量测序结果表明清肺排毒汤中富含miR-320,其表达含量居前50位。miR-320在小鼠肺组织中可作用于26类靶基因,其中19类为已知基因(18类为mRNA以及1类为转录增强子),其主要通过miR经典作用模式识别靶基因,与26类靶基因具有良好的碱基互补性,最小自由能在-35.8~-21.8 kcal·mol^(-1)之间;Alphafold3预测的靶基因的iPTM和PTM之和最小值为1.1,位于高置信度区域,100%验证了CSCT的检测结果,据此确证26类靶基因为miR-320作用谱;与TargetScan相比,本研究构建的“CSCT+Alphafold3序贯检测法”对于靶基因谱的检测准确率更高。这些靶基因具有多种功能,主要富集于白介素介导的免疫信号通路,在抗原处理与提呈、免疫因子或细胞介导的细胞凋亡、淋巴细胞增殖与活化等生物学过程中发挥作用。结论:清肺排毒汤所含miR-320在小鼠肺组织内主要富集于免疫调节相关通路,这可能是清肺排毒汤治疗病毒性肺炎的miR分子机制之一;本研究构建的“CSCT+Alphafold3”法对于miR靶基因谱的检测具有较高的可靠性和准确性,可作为中药汤剂中miR—靶基因互作谱检测技术。
文摘目的探讨肺癌术后患者运动训练行为感知的潜在类别及其相关影响因素。方法采用便利抽样法选取2024年3—12月广西某三级甲等医院胸心管外科的肺癌术后患者为研究对象。采用一般资料调查表、肺癌患者运动训练行为感知量表、中文版恐动症Tampa评分表(Tampa scale for kinesiophobia,TSK)、领悟社会支持量表(perceived social support scale,PSSS)进行调查。使用潜在剖面分析探究肺癌术后患者运动训练行为感知的潜在类别,采用无序多分类logistic回归分析其相关影响因素。结果共纳入242例肺癌术后患者,其运动训练行为感知分为3个类别:高感知-身体康复益处型(85例,占35.1%),中感知-信息障碍型(60例,占25.2%),低感知-心理与疾病症状障碍型(97例,占39.7%)。多元logistic回归分析结果显示,年龄、文化程度、疼痛程度、TSK得分以及PSSS得分情况是运动训练行为感知的影响因素。结论肺癌术后患者的运动训练行为感知存在显著的分类特征,建议临床护理人员根据患者的运动训练行为感知潜在类别给予个性化干预措施,以提高患者的运动训练行为感知及运动持久性。
