    Abstract Citrus is cultivated throughout Jeju Island and is thought to possess some medicinal properties. Citrus concentrate is the most extensively utilized form of citrus in the food industry. In this study, antioxidant and antiobesity effects of Kimchi supplemented with citrus concentrate were investigated. Prepared Kimchi was infused with 7% citrus concentrate (CK) and freeze‐dried for analysis. Normal Kimchi (NK) without citrus concentrate was utilized as a control. Total phenol content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and antioxidant activities were examined. Cytotoxicity, intracellular triglycerides (TG), and total cholesterol (TC) levels in 3T3‐L1 adipocytes were also measured. Additionally, the inhibitory effects on lipid accumulation were trialed by measuring the oil‐red O (ORO)‐stained cells. TPC, TFC, and antioxidant activities of CK were significantly higher than those of NK (p < .05). CK showed less cytotoxicity and attenuated the lipid accumulation at all concentrations by reducing TG and TC levels compared to NK. The inhibitory effect of CK on lipid accumulation was observed via reducing ORO‐stained lipid droplets. Consequently, the antioxidant and antiobesity effects of CK were revealed in vitro. Furthermore, the addition of citrus may provide competitive price due to low production costs as well as health functionality.

    Abstract Background: The optimal treatment for heart failure (HF) is a combination of appropriate medications. Controlling the disease using only medical therapy is difficult in patients with HF, severe hypercapnia, and desaturation. These patients should first receive ventilator support followed by pulmonary rehabilitation (PR).
    Case summary: We report two cases in which arterial blood gas (ABG) improved and PR was possible with appropriate ventilator support. Two patients with extreme obesity complaining of worsening dyspnea-a 47-year-old woman and a 36-year-old man both diagnosed with HF-were hospitalized because of severe hypercapnia and hypoxia. Despite proper medical treatment, hypercapnia and desaturation resolved in neither case, and both patients were transferred to the rehabilitation department for PR. At the time of the first consultation, the patients were bedridden because of dyspnea. Oxygen demand was successfully reduced once noninvasive ventilation was initiated. As the patients' dyspnea gradually improved to the point where they could be weaned off the ventilator during the daytime, they started engaging in functional training and aerobic exercise. After 4 mo of follow-up, both patients were able to perform activities of daily living and maintain their lower body weight and normalized ABG levels.
    Conclusion: Symptoms of patients with obesity and HF may improve once ABG levels are normalized through ventilator support and implementation of PR.

    Abstract Heat penetration characteristics of different vegetable products were investigated during retort processing. A custom-developed variable temperature retort-sterilizer allowed us to test the following target retort-temperatures; 120, 130, 140, and 150 °C, combined with the following holding times: 1, 3, 5, 7 min. Radish showed the highest heating rate (9.56 ± 0.21 °C/min) among the tested vegetables, including radish, carrot, and potato. Textural qualities of retort-processed vegetables showed a close correlation with thermal dose. Hardness of potato was 3.07 ± 0.07 N after retort processing at 120 °C for 7 min, with a thermal dose of 127 ± 7 k °C s. Better hardness (3.72 ± 0.06 N) was obtained after retort processing at 150 °C for 3 min, with a thermal dose of 122 ± 6 k °C s. The data reported herein indicate that retort temperature should be appropriately controlled for different vegetable products based on their specific heat-penetration characteristics.

    Abstract Nursing students perform clinical training in a variety of clinical practice fields, so their rights are important. Efforts are needed to accurately identify and measure the awareness of nursing students' rights. This study aimed to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of nursing students' rights awareness scale. The study procedure was carried out in four stages: the concept analysis, item development, scale development, and scale evaluation stage. First, in the concept analysis stage, the attributes of the concept were derived. Second, in the item development stage, preliminary items were derived, and the content validity was verified. Third, in the scale development stage, a preliminary and main survey were conducted, and item reduction was implemented. Fourth, in the scale evaluation stage, construct validity and reliability were verified. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS 24.0, and item analysis was conducted using skewness, kurtosis, and item-total correlation scores. The construct validity was assessed by exploratory factor analysis, convergent validity, and divergent validity. The reliability was analyzed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient and composite reliability. The final version of the scale was tested on 240 nursing students from three cities in South Korea. From the construct validity, three factors and 14 items were selected. The factors included "the rights to be protected, cared for, supported, and respected" (eight items), "the rights to be recognized as a member of a nursing team" (three items), and "the rights to learn" (three questions). The reliability of the scale was also verified. Through this study, the scale was developed to identify the rights of nursing students in clinical practice. The implication of this study is that it has laid the foundation for measuring the rights of nursing students applicable in clinical settings for the first time. The limitation of this study is that data were collected in some regions. Therefore, it is necessary to verify the validity and reliability of the scale in various cultures.

    Abstract For the seafood industry, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, one of the most prevalent food-borne pathogenic bacteria that forms biofilms, is a constant cause of concern. There are numerous techniques used throughout the food supply chain to manage biofilms, but none are entirely effective. Through assessing its antioxidant and antibacterial properties, quercetin will be evaluated for its ability to prevent the growth of V. parahaemolyticus biofilm on shrimp and crab shell surfaces. With a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 220 µg/mL, the tested quercetin exhibited the lowest bactericidal action without visible growth of bacteria. In contrast, during various experiments in this work, the inhibitory efficacy of quercetin without (control) and with sub-MICs levels (1/2, 1/4, and 1/8 MIC) against V. parahaemolyticus was examined. With increasing quercetin concentration, swarming and swimming motility, biofilm formation, and expression levels of related genes linked to flagella motility (flaA and flgL), biofilm formation (vp0952 and vp0962), and quorum-sensing (luxS and aphA) were all dramatically reduced (p < 0.05). Quercetin (0−110 μg/mL) was investigated on shrimp and crab shell surfaces, the inhibitory effects were 0.68−3.70 and 0.74−3.09 log CFU/cm2, respectively (p < 0.05). The findings were verified using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), which revealed quercetin prevented the development of biofilms by severing cell-to-cell contacts and induced cell lysis, which resulted in the loss of normal cell shape. Furthermore, there was a substantial difference in motility between the treatment and control groups (swimming and swarming). According to our findings, plant-derived quercetin should be used as an antimicrobial agent in the food industry to inhibit the establishment of V. parahaemolyticus biofilms. These findings suggest that bacterial targets are of interest for biofilm reduction with alternative natural food agents in the seafood sector along the entire food production chain.

    Abstract Background: Sleep-disordered breathing, including hypoventilation and obstructive sleep apnea, is often observed in Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). Particularly in adolescence, scoliosis causes a progressive restrictive pulmonary pattern, leading to hypoventilation, so timely corrective surgery is required. However, the effect is controversial. In addition, since mental retardation of PWS, patient effort-based respiratory tests may be less reliable. So far, no studies have accurately reported on the comparison of respiratory function before and after corrective surgery, and appropriate respiratory function measurement method in PWS.
    Case summary: We present two cases of adolescent PWS with typical characteristics, including obesity, mental retardation, and scoliosis. Two boys, aged 12 and 13, diagnosed with PWS, both underwent scoliosis correction surgery. Before and immediately after surgery, arterial blood tests showed no abnormalities and no respiratory symptoms occurred. However, after 6-7 mo, both patients complained of daytime sleepiness, difficulty sleeping at night, dyspnea on exertion, and showed cyanosis. Hypercapnia and hypoxia were confirmed by polysomnography and transcutaneous CO
    Conclusion: Even after scoliosis surgery, "periodic" monitoring of respiratory failure with an "objective" test method is needed for timely respiratory support.

    Abstract The purpose of this study is to confirm the effect of small, portable low-level laser therapy (light sources in square configuration: 830 nm GaAs diode 3.2 mW at the center, 4 × 650 nm InGaAIP diodes over the corners) treatment in reducing and enhancing hand function in patients with wrist pain. This study was a prospective, randomized, sham-controlled, and home-based self-therapy trial. A total of thirty subjects with wrist pain were enrolled. All participants received low-level laser therapy on painful area at the wrist. The experimental group (n = 15) received laser stimulation, while the control group (n = 15) received sham stimulation using identical equipment that generated only a red light without the laser output. Both groups self-treated for 30 min a day, 5 days per week for 3 weeks, total of 15 sessions. The primary outcome was assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS) for wrist pain from 0 (painless) to 10 (extreme pain). The secondary outcomes were measured with patient-rated wrist evaluation (PRWE), grip strength, lateral, palmar, and tip pinch strength. Measures were taken before and after treatment. A total of thirty participants provided outcome data. After the intervention, both groups showed a significant decrease in VAS score, from 4.93 to 3.67 in experimental group, from 5.53 to 4.00 in control group (the experiment group: p = 0.020, the control group: p = 0.003). The experimental group showed a significant improvement in function scale score (p = 0.012), the control group did not. Lateral and pinch strength was significantly improved in the experimental group (p = 0.017) and in the control group (p = 0.034) respectively. There were no side effects in the patients. Medical laser irradiation is a portable and easy-to-use laser irradiator without side effects. Clinical Trial Registration number: KCT0006604.

    Abstract The cultivar of red pepper used in kimchi contributes to spiciness, red color, and fermentation characteristics. Capsaicinoids are the main components of red pepper. Therefore, understanding changes in metabolites during kimchi fermentation according to capsaicinoid concentration is necessary to control the quality of kimchi. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of capsaicinoids on metabolites during kimchi fermentation. To profile the effect of capsaicinoid concentrations on kimchi fermentation, five kimchi samples were prepared using different concentrations of capsaicinoids (4, 12, 30.7, 40.9, and 50.3 mg/kg) and stored at 4 °C for 28 days. During kimchi fermentation, pH, titratable acidity, capsaicinoid concentration, total viable and lactic acid bacteria, free sugars, amino acids, and microbial community were evaluated. Each result was statistically analyzed for changes in capsaicin concentration and fermentation time. The capsaicinoid concentration did not change during kimchi fermentation but the growth of lactic acid bacteria changed. According to the growth of lactic acid bacteria, free sugar, amino acids, and microbial community changed with the capsaicinoid concentration. Overall, the results of this study provide preliminary information on the use of red pepper and capsaicinoids in the kimchi industry.
