    Abstract Chilled meat is subject to deterioration by various factors during storage and distribution. Therefore, it is very important to monitor the quality of meat in real time. This study aims at preparing a natural, low-cost indicating microsphere to visualize the freshness of meat by the combination of sodium alginate (SA) and chitosan with 0–10 wt% anthocyanins derived from chokeberry as a colorant using ionic gelation method. Size-controlled porous SA microspheres with were further constructed by freeze-drying and their physicochemical properties were characterized by SEM, FTIR, DSC, and XRD. Results showed that microspheres with 1 wt% anthocyanin showed good responsiveness to different concentrations of ammonia and were able to effectively identify the freshness of chilled meat by color change. Principal component analysis showed that the color difference of the porous microspheres was highly significantly correlated with pH, TVB-N, total plate count and thiobarbituric acid active substance (p < 0.01), suggesting a visible satisfactory capability of the microspheres to identify the spoilage in pork. Principal component analysis showed that the color difference of the porous microspheres was highly significantly correlated with pH, TVB-N, total plate count and thiobarbituric acid active substance (P < 0.01), suggesting a visible satisfactory capability of the microspheres to identify the spoilage in pork.

    Abstract This study describes a patient with an intradural extramedullary (IDEM) tumor removed entirely using the unilateral biportal endoscopic technique (UBE), achieving satisfactory clinical outcomes. A 60-year-old woman had a diagnosis of meningioma with sensations and motor dysfunction in the lower extremities and perineum and gait disturbances for three years, which has worsened over the last month. Preoperative imaging data showed a sizeable IDEM tumor at the T10 level, significantly compressing the thoracic spinal cord to the right side, with 80% intraspinal encroachment. The IDEM tumor was removed entirely by UBE surgery. To the best of our knowledge, this study may be the first to report the application of UBE techniques for IDEM tumor treatment. In this case, UBE provides a magnified and clear surgical field, greater maneuverability, and a less invasive surgical procedure. The procedure objectives were pathological confirmation, spinal cord decompression, and complete tumor removal; all were met. The patient was satisfied with her dramatically improved clinical symptoms. UBE may be an alternative surgical treatment option for benign IDEM tumors presenting with symptomatic, especially the non-giant lateral and posterior tumors.

    Abstract Although information intervention can guide individual behavior, there are variations in information interpretation and processing results caused by different psychological distances. This study explored the explanation mechanism underlying individual psychological distances and their effects on different information intervention strategies that aim to improve waste separation behavior. The survey sample data obtained from large-scale field intervention experiments were analyzed using regression analysis, a difference-in-difference test, and T-tests. The results showed that (1) psychological distance has a significant mediating effect on the interaction between the cognition of separation and waste separation behavior; (2) modeling is a form of information intervention effectively promotes individual waste separation behavior and the waste separation behavior relationship; (3) among groups with different cognitions of separation, modeling can significantly promote the waste separation behavior of the group with low-level concerns as it improves their habit and citizen dimensions. The publicity and education strategies can positively promote the habit dimension of the group with low-level concerns, but it has a negative effect on the waste separation behavior of the high-level concerns group; (4) among groups with different psychological distances towards waste separation, modeling can significantly promote the waste separation behavior of the group with a closer expected distance. The research results provide effective theoretical support and practical significance for promoting individual waste separation behavior and realizing waste recycling and reduction.

    Abstract Background: Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths. Prognosis is poor. The majority of patients are diagnosed with locally advanced or metastatic disease. Increasing evidence suggests G protein subunit gamma 5 (GNG5) play key roles in several types of human cancer. The key gating mechanisms in colorectal cancer remains unkown.
    Methods: In this study, pan-cancer analyses have been performed for GNG5's expression. Prognosis using The Cancer Genome Atlas and The Genotype-Tissue Expression data found that GNG5 are activated oncogenes in colorectal cancer. Noncoding RNAs play increasingly appreciated gene-regulatory roles and long noncoding RNAs contributing to GNG5 overexpression. They were identified by a combination in silico computational analyses. We identified candidate regulators controlling colon carcinoma survival analysis and correlation analysis.
    Results: The SNHG4/DRAIC-let-7c-5p axis was identified as the most progressive upstream lncRNA-related pathway of GNG5 in colorectal cancer. The GNG5 level was significantly negatively correlated with tumor immune cell infiltration, immune cell biomarkers, and immune checkpoint expression.
    Conclusions: Our findings elucidated that lncRNAs-mediated downregulation of GNG5 correlated with better prognosis and tumor immune infiltration in colorectal cancer.

    Abstract Solidification patterns during nonequilibrium crystallization are among the most important microstructures in the natural and technical realms. In this work, we investigate the crystal growth in deeply supercooled liquid using the classical density functional-based approaches. Our result shows that the complex amplitude expanded phase-field crystal (APFC) model containing the vacancy nonequilibrium effects proposed by us could naturally reproduce the growth front nucleation (GFN) and various nonequilibrium patterns, including the faceted growth, spherulite, symmetric and nonsymmetric dendrites among others, at the atom level. Moreover, an extraordinary microscopic columnar-to-equiaxed transition is uncovered, which is found to depend on the seed spacing and distribution. Such a phenomenon could be attributed to the combined effects of the long-wave and short-wave elastic interactions. Particularly, the columnar growth could also be predicted by an APFC model containing inertia effects, but the lattice defect type in the growing crystal is different due to the different types of short-wave interactions. Two stages are identified during the crystal growth under different undercooling, corresponding to diffusion-controlled growth and GFN-dominated growth, respectively. However, compared with the second stage, the first stage becomes too short to be noticed under the high undercooling. The distinct feature of the second stage is the dramatic increments of lattice defects, which explains the amorphous nucleation precursor in the supercooled liquid. The transition time between the two stages at different undercooling is investigated. Crystal growth of BCC structure further confirms our conclusions.

    Abstract Objective: This study aimed to examine Chinese families' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding the management of acute seizures (AS) that occur outside the hospital in children with epilepsy (CWE) and factors that influence AS.
    Design: A mixed-methods sequential explanatory study was conducted, which was integrated at the design and methods levels. In phase 1, a questionnaire was developed for this study, and a family functioning assessment was administered from Nov 2021 to Apr 2022. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) and factors that influence AS. In phase 2, family caregivers (FCGs) were recruited from Jul to Aug 2022 to participate in a qualitative exploration, using semi-structured interviews and a combination of inductive and deductive methods.
    Setting: The setting was five children's specialty hospitals in different regions of China.
    Participants: The participants were FCGs of CWE. A total of 645 participants were included in the quantitative phase, and 15 FCGs (eight parents, five grandparents, and two others) were recruited for the qualitative phase.
    Results: The FCGs' average total KAP score for AS management was 66.23 ± 15.12, with 45.42% of FCGs having a low level. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses showed that demographic factors, disease characteristics, and family function significantly predicted family management of AS. The three most salient themes and eight sub-themes from phase 2 were explored. The quantitative and qualitative databases were analyzed separately and combined through integration, and a conceptual model was constructed based on the individual and family self-management theory (IFSMT); the model consisted of context, knowledge, self-regulation, and promotion factors.
    Conclusion: Chinese families have a positive attitude toward the management of out-of-hospital AS in CWE, but lack practice and related knowledge. AS management for CWE families was associated with the demographic characteristics of FCGs, epilepsy, and family characteristics. The research findings expand the existing application requirements of an Acute Seizure Action Plan and patient safety. Our results also indicate a pressing need for localized development of AS emergency medicine in family medicine, the establishment of auxiliary information systems, the utilization of caregivers' positive psychological resources, and improvements in family function for intergenerational care.

    Abstract Objective: The study aimed to describe and explore the behavioral dilemmas and support-requirement characteristics of self-management for epileptic adolescents during transition readiness.
    Methods: A convergent mixed-methods study was conducted. Patients (N=654) in eight hospitals in China completed a demographic and disease characteristics questionnaire and measures of epilepsy transition readiness, self-management of epilepsy, and perceived social support, and 17 patients and family care-givers were interviewed simultaneously.
    Results: Adolescents with epilepsy (AWEs) had low levels of self-management and transition readiness, and moderate levels of social support. Multivariate linear regression showed that age, antiepileptic drug type, comorbidities, family structure, transition readiness, and social support were statistically significant in the regression model (p<0.05). Seven themes emerged in the qualitative analysis related to self-management behavioral dilemmas, and 11 themes emerged for support requirements. The findings from the qualitative and quantitative analyses were combined to create a conceptual model based on the SMART framework and the social cognitive theory.
    Conclusion: The findings indicate that the state of self-management behaviors of Chinese AWEs is not promising. The influential factors and characteristics are complex and systematic.
    Practice implications: This study provides insights into the self-management practices of AWEs in China and expands previous self-management and transitional readiness strategies and models.
