Purpose: To identify the predictors of infectious disease-specific health literacy (IDSHL), and establish an easy-to-apply nomogram to predict the IDSHL of older adults. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 380 older adults who completed the IDSHL, self-rated health, socio-demographic and other questionnaires. Logistic regression was used to identify the IDSHL predictors. Nomogram was used to construct a predictive model. Results: Up to 70.1% of older adults had limited IDSHL. Age, education, place of residence, self-rated health, and Internet access were the important influencing factors of IDSHL. The established nomogram model showed high accuracy (receiver operating characteristic curve: 0.848). Conclusions The IDSHL of Chinese older adults was significantly deficient. The constructed nomogram is an intuitive tool for IDSHL prediction that can not only contribute toward rapid screening of high-risk older adults with limited IDSHL but also provide guidance for healthcare providers to develop prevention strategies for infectious diseases.

As a branched chain amino acid, L-valine is widely used in the medicine and feed sectors. In this study, a microbial cell factory for efficient production of L-valine was constructed by combining various metabolic engineering strategies. First, precursor supply for L-valine biosynthesis was enhanced by strengthening the glycolysis pathway and weakening the metabolic pathway of by-products. Subsequently, the key enzyme in the L-valine synthesis pathway, acetylhydroxylate synthase, was engineered by site-directed mutation to relieve the feedback inhibition of the engineered strain. Moreover, promoter engineering was used to optimize the gene expression level of key enzymes in L-valine biosynthetic pathway. Furthermore, cofactor engineering was adopted to change the cofactor preference of acetohydroxyacid isomeroreductase and branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase from NADPH to NADH. The engineered strain C. glutamicum K020 showed a significant increase in L-valine titer, yield and productivity in 5 L fed-batch bioreactor, up to 110 g/L, 0.51 g/g and 2.29 g/(L‧h), respectively.

Objective:To construct a mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) intervention program suitable for uremic hemodialysis patients, and analyze the impact of the program on renal function and quality of life in uremic hemodialysis patients.Methods:This was a randomized controlled trial. The convenience sampling method was used to select 92 uremic patients who underwent hemodialysis in the First People's Hospital of Lianyungang City from March 2018 to March 2019. They were divided into routine group (46 cases, routine care) and MBSR group (46 cases, MBSR of face-to-face guidance combined with WeChat platform supervision) by random number table method. Both groups were intervened for 8 weeks. The Chinese version of the European Five-Dimensional Scale (EQ-5D-3L) was used to evaluate the quality of life of the patients, and the quality of life of the two groups before and after the intervention was compared; and the blood creatinine (Scr) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urea nitrogen (BUN), cystatin C (CysC) levels of the two groups before and after the intervention were analyzed.Results:Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in the levels of Scr, eGFR, BUN, and CysC between the two groups ( P>0.05); after 8 weeks of intervention, the levels of Scr, eGFR, BUN, and CysC were (201.81±14.77) μmol/L, (35.30 ± 2.02) ml/min and (11.47 ± 2.66) mmol/L, (2.41 ± 0.28) mg/L in the MBSR group, (218.37 ± 14.90) μmol/L, (33.99 ± 1.95) ml/min, (12.50 ± 0.76) mmol/L, (2.76 ± 0.30) mg/L in the routine group, the differences were statistically significant between the two groups ( t values were 2.53-5.79, all P<0.05). Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in EQ-5D-3L scores between the two groups ( P>0.05); after 8 weeks of intervention, the pain (discomfort), anxiety (depression), Vasual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores were (1.17 ± 0.34), (1.02 ± 0.35), (88.57 ± 20.28) points in the MBSR group, and (1.46 ± 0.63), (1.30 ± 0.32), (62.69 ± 18.79) points in the routine group, the differences were statistically significant between the two groups ( t=2.75, 4.00, 6.35, all P<0.05). Scr level was negatively correlated with self-care, pain (discomfort), anxiety (depression), mobility, daily activity ability, and VAS ( r values were -0.481 - -0.214, all P<0.05); eGFR level was positively correlated with self-care, pain (discomfort), anxiety (depression), mobility, daily activity ability, and VAS ( r values were 0.199-0.492, all P<0.05). But BUN and CysC levels were not correlated with EQ-5D-3L score (all P>0.05). Conclusions:MBSR can effectively improve the renal function and quality of life of uremic hemodialysis patients, and it is worthy of clinical application.

Bone regeneration remains a great clinical challenge. Low intensity near-infrared (NIR) light showed strong potential to promote tissue regeneration, offering a promising strategy for bone defect regeneration. However, the effect and underlying mechanism of NIR on bone regeneration remain unclear. We demonstrated that bone regeneration in the rat skull defect model was significantly accelerated with low-intensity NIR stimulation. In vitro studies showed that NIR stimulation could promote the osteoblast differentiation in bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and MC3T3-E1 cells, which was associated with increased ubiquitination of the core circadian clock protein Cryptochrome 1 (CRY1) in the nucleus. We found that the reduction of CRY1 induced by NIR light activated the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathways, promoting SMAD1/5/9 phosphorylation and increasing the expression levels of Runx2 and Osterix. NIR light treatment may act through sodium voltage-gated channel Scn4a, which may be a potential responder of NIR light to accelerate bone regeneration. Together, these findings suggest that low-intensity NIR light may promote in situ bone regeneration in a CRY1-dependent manner, providing a novel, efficient and non-invasive strategy to promote bone regeneration for clinical bone defects.
