Determinants of Meal Satisfaction and Their Association With Childhood Obesity: A Systematic Review.

Meal satisfaction is considered a multidimensional concept that includes sensory enjoyment, cognitive, emotional, and physiological components and relates to contentment with the meal experience as a whole. However, its relevance to eating behavior and body weight remains unclear, especially in children. The present review investigated the potential relationship between meal satisfaction-related constructs and childhood obesity, and whether this relation is shaped by individual factors and the external environment. Seventeen eligible studies from 350 records published between 2008 and 2024 were included. No study directly assessed meal satisfaction; instead, proxy measures were used. Food enjoyment emerged as the proxy most consistently associated with BMI, often clustering with higher food responsiveness, lower satiety responsiveness, and emotional overeating. Parental feeding practices, especially pressure to eat, significantly contributed to variation in children's eating behavior and were associated with lower food enjoyment. Overall, meal satisfaction could be a key aspect to consider in childhood obesity prevention programs. However, to date, the available evidence is heterogeneous and predominantly observational. Future longitudinal and intervention studies are needed, alongside child-appropriate instruments to objectively quantify food satisfaction in children. Research that helps understand the role of contextual eating factors on children's meal satisfaction and eating behavior is also warranted.

Access to maternity services for women asylum seekers and refugees: A transnational document analysis of international, European regional, and United Kingdom governance.

Women asylum seekers and refugees face persistent barriers to maternity care (antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal care) across high-income countries, yet the upstream governance shaping access remains under-examined. Although legally distinct, both groups share protection-seeking experiences and are addressed jointly in governance documents. This study examined and synthesised how international (macro), European regional (meso), and United Kingdom (UK, micro) governance documents frame and operationalise maternity service access. Sixty-four documents were analysed using the READ framework. Inductive analysis of macro and meso documents identified six access dimensions: universal coverage; cultural and linguistic adaptation; rights-based approaches; multi-agency collaboration; data, monitoring and accountability; and quality of care. These dimensions structured assessment of UK governance, with jurisdictions rated strong, moderate or weak. Alignment was fragmented: Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland exempted asylum seekers from charging, whereas England retained charging provisions. Multi-agency collaboration was consistently articulated, yet none of the 35 UK government documents focused on maternity access for this population, and none required outcome monitoring disaggregated by asylum or refugee status. UK governance appears coordinated in form but fragmented in substance. UK-wide minimum standards and routine recording of these data, with safeguards against immigration-related use, could strengthen coherence and accountability and improve visibility of inequities.

A systematic review of sleep hygiene interventions in physically and operationally demanding occupations.

Workers in physically and operationally demanding (POD) occupations (e.g. military personnel, emergency responders, law enforcement) experience disrupted sleep due to irregular schedules and high-stress work environments. Given the importance of sleep for physical and cognitive performance, interventions to improve sleep in POD occupations are crucial yet remain under-researched. To investigate the effectiveness of sleep hygiene interventions in improving sleep quality and quantity outcomes for POD occupations, a systematic review was conducted across five databases (PubMed, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, PsycINFO, Web of Science) in September 2024. Eligible studies involved workers in POD occupations where a sleep hygiene intervention was compared against a waitlist or passive control. Ten studies were included, eight randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and two non-randomised controlled trials (NRCTs). Narrative synthesis identified Structured Training Programs (n = 7), Phone Assistance Programs (n = 2), and Single Lecture Interventions (n = 1). Evidence certainty ranged from Very Low to Moderate, converging towards Low quality due to imprecision, risk of bias, and indirectness. Structured Training Programs showed moderate improvements in sleep quality and small-to-moderate effects on sleep duration. Phone Assistance Programs had minimal effects, and Single Lecture Interventions had negligible impact. Higher-quality research is urgently needed to assess sleep hygiene interventions in POD occupations.

Efficacy of targeted neuromodulation treatments: a clinical report.

BACKGROUND: Peripheral neuropathy is a debilitating condition characterized by chronic pain, numbness, tingling, burning, and tightness/swelling. Conventional therapies often focus on symptom management, and some patients experience chronic and refractory symptoms. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: This retrospective clinical analysis evaluated the clinical outcomes of neuromodulation neuropathy treatment using the NeuroGen-Series device in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) or idiopathic peripheral neuropathy (IPN). 9,805 unique patients who underwent 133,741 treatments between 18 August 2017, and 23 July 2024, were analyzed. Patients were divided into treatment completers (≥24 sessions) and noncompleters (<24 sessions). Paired t-tests confirmed statistically significant reductions in pre- and post-treatment symptom scores (p < 0.001). RESULTS: Among completers, symptom severity decreased by an average of 46.2%. Tingling and pain showed the greatest improvement, while tightness/swelling and numbness showed the least reduction. 64% of patients reported improvement after one session, and 84% reported improvement after 24 sessions. Nonresponders accounted for 5.8% of patients overall. Younger patients and those with higher initial symptom severity were more likely to discontinue treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, neuromodulation treatment resulted in statistically significant reductions in symptom severity, though nonresponders and high attrition rate highlight the need for individualized treatment strategies and further investigation.

Bergamottin, a bioactive component of bergamot: dual inhibition of Japanese encephalitis virus internalization and genome replication.

Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is associated with high mortality and severe neurological sequelae, and existing prevention and control strategies remain insufficient. Therefore, the development of novel antiviral agents is of critical public health importance. This study systematically evaluated the antiviral activity and underlying mechanism of bergamottin, a natural product. Bergamottin exhibited significant dose-dependent inhibitory effects against JEV in multiple cell lines, including BHK-21, HuH-7, and Vero cells, demonstrating potent antiviral efficacy. Mechanistic investigations revealed that bergamottin primarily targeted the internalization and replication stages of the JEV life cycle, thereby effectively suppressing viral proliferation. Additionally, adaptive mutation screening indicated that the D389G mutation in envelope protein E confers drug resistance by potentially changing E protein conformation or reducing endocytic efficiency. In vivo experiment, bergamottin significantly reduced viral loads in mouse brain tissue and effectively improved the survival rate of infected mice. Our findings indicated that bergamottin exerted antiviral activity by dual targeting of key steps in the viral life cycle, making it a highly promising candidate for anti-JEV therapy. Further exploration of the antiviral properties of bergamottin is expected to facilitate its clinical development as a treatment for JEV infection.

TWIST2-dependent transcriptional activation of TPI1 mediates TGF-β1-driven fibroblast activation in pulmonary fibrosis.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and fatal interstitial lung disease characterized by aberrant profibrotic signaling and excessive extracellular matrix deposition, accompanied by fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition. Despite extensive investigation, the molecular mechanisms underlying IPF pathogenesis remain incompletely understood. Here, we investigated the role of triosephosphate isomerase 1 (TPI1) in IPF progression and its regulation by transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling. Loss-of-function analyses identified TPI1 as a downstream effector of TGF-β1, as its knockdown markedly suppressed fibrotic marker expression, fibroblast proliferation, and migration. Mechanistically, TWIST2 was shown to function as a direct transcriptional regulator of TPI1, binding to its promoter and promoting transcriptional activation. Rescue experiments further confirmed that the TWIST2-TPI1 axis is central to the progression of pulmonary fibrosis. Notably, knockdown of either TPI1 or TWIST2 effectively attenuated TGF-β1-induced fibrotic phenotypes. Collectively, these findings define the TGF-β1/TWIST2/TPI1 signaling axis as an important regulator of pathogenic fibroblast behavior and pro-fibrotic responses through transcriptional control of TPI1, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for IPF.

Formation of environmental persistent free radicals in soil of ammunition demolition site: Roles of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene and heavy metals.

Environmental Persistent Free Radicals (EPFRs) are a particular type of contaminant present in soil. This study investigated the formation process, environmental behavior, and main influencing variables of EPFRs in soils contaminated with heavy metals and 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) from an ammunition demolition site. The results showed that the concentration of total organic carbon (TOC) in the soil was negatively correlated with EPFRs (r = -0.29). In contrast, the content of TNT and copper was significantly positively correlated with EPFRs (r = 0.90 and 0.78, respectively), indicating that TNT acts as a precursor macromolecule in the formation of EPFRs in this type of contaminated soil. Transition metal Cu may be an essential carrier in EPFR production. In order to explore the possible formation mechanism of EPFRs, a simulation experiment was carried out under different temperature and light conditions. The results showed that the photolysis process of TNT was impacted by external energy sources such as heat and light. TNT was firstly adsorbed onto the surface of a transition metal (Cu), and then EPFRs were formed through further electron transfer. This is the first study to detect significant levels of EPFRs in the soil at ammunition demolition sites.

Toxicological effects of propyl 4-hydroxybenzoate on gallstone pathogenesis: An integrated mendelian randomization, network toxicology, and experimental study.

BACKGROUND: Gallstone disease is a prevalent digestive disorder with substantial global socioeconomic burden. Propyl 4-hydroxybenzoate (PP), a widely used paraben preservative, exhibits potential metabolic and hepatic toxicity, yet its role in gallstone pathogenesis remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the causal association between PP exposure and gallstone formation and the underlying mechanism. METHODS: Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) was performed using genome-wide association study (GWAS) data. Network toxicology, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulation were applied to screen for core targets. In vivo experiments, transcriptome sequencing, Western blot (WB), and ELISA were conducted for mechanistic validation. RESULTS: MR confirmed a causal link between circulating PP levels and an elevated risk of gallstones (P < 0.05), with AKT1 identified as the key target. In mice, PP aggravated gallstone formation by activating the AKT1-NF-κB-CXCL1 pathway, enhancing hepatic inflammation and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) formation; these effects were reversed by AKT inhibition. CONCLUSION: PP promotes gallstone formation via the AKT1-NF-κB-CXCL1-NETs axis. Our findings highlight PP as an environmental risk factor for gallstones, providing novel insights into their prevention and targeted therapy.

Dengue and chikungunya vaccines past, present and future: implications for travelers.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Novel vaccines for dengue and chikungunya viruses offer new prevention options against two globally important arboviral diseases. This review summarizes recent developments in vaccine licensure, implementation, real-world experience and research priorities, with emphasis on implications for both endemic populations and travelers. RECENT FINDINGS: Of the three live-attenuated dengue vaccines licensed to date, TAK-003 is authorized in >40 countries and Butantan-DV in Brazil, while manufacturing of CYD-TDV is discontinued. Long-term and postmarketing data continue to refine understanding of serotype-specific protection, waning immunity, and rare adverse events.For chikungunya, two single-dose vaccines are licensed-a live-attenuated vaccine (VLA1553) and virus-like particle vaccine (PXVX0317). Uptake is guided by emerging safety and effectiveness data, with each platform offering potential advantages in different settings.Further data on long-term protection, safety, effectiveness, use in vulnerable populations and integration into outbreak management and immunization systems is anticipated. SUMMARY: Dengue and chikungunya vaccines are increasingly being used in immunization programs and pretravel consultations. Further real-world data are needed-particularly for seronegative dengue vaccine recipients and older, immunocompromised or medically at-risk adults. Research priorities include developing single-dose, nonlive dengue vaccines suitable for high-risk groups, understanding long-term chikungunya vaccine performance, and exploring broader flaviviral or pan-arboviral platforms.

Ambrosia beetle invasions are structured by inbreeding, intraspecific hybridisation, and bridgeheads.

When invasive populations establish in regions far from their origin, they may accumulate deleterious mutations that limit population viability and later expansion. Invasions stemming from such bridgehead populations may experience further sequential bottlenecks. However, deleterious mutations can be masked or eliminated when populations outbreed with other lineages. Here, we analyse global invasions of a species complex of persistently inbreeding ambrosia beetles, using genomic data (N=247) from invasive populations in Africa, North America and Australia, and from native populations in Asia. We mostly focus on one species of this complex (Euwallacea fornicatus) which poses a severe threat to tree species worldwide and is rapidly expanding its global range. We uncover a single lineage of this species across California, South Africa, and Western Australia, involving an invasive bridgehead and containing almost no nuclear genetic variation. In South Africa we identify a second lineage that has repeatedly hybridised with the first lineage. Genetic patterns in the native range indicate that such opportunistic outbreeding may be common. Despite lacking nuclear variation, the first lineage contained two CO1 haplotypes that were also observed in every hybrid lineage, pointing to heteroplasmy and possible hybrid origins of this lineage. Native populations had fewer missense mutations than invasive populations, indicating that opportunistic outbreeding may help purge fixed deleterious mutations when local lineage diversity is high. These findings highlight the importance of outbreeding even when inbreeding is common, and they demonstrate the biosecurity threat posed by subsequent gene flow into invasive populations.

Wounds that echo: community perceptions of the socio-structural determinants of community violence in post-apartheid South Africa in the context of COVID-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic and its associated public health measures significantly altered the social, economic, and psychological landscape of communities worldwide. In South Africa, the post-COVID-19 period has been marked by a notable surge in homicide rates and interpersonal and community violence. Using a combined structural and social disorganisation framework, this qualitative study critically explores community members' perceptions of the socio-structural factors contributing to community violence, in the context of COVID-19. Utilising data from in-depth interviews and focus group discussions, this study examines the lived experiences of residents in a marginalised high-risk South African community, unpacking the interplay between structural inequities, social disintegration, and community violence. Community violence emerged not as periodic or individual, but as structurally generated, geographically concentrated, and socially normalised. The findings demonstrate that community violence is perceived as being embedded in cycles of survival, where long-standing systemic inequality, economic precarity, spatial disadvantage, and institutional neglect and inequity generate contexts in which community violence becomes normalised and self-reinforcing. The study findings advocate for interventions that not only address immediate catalysts of violence but also the deeper historical and structural determinants of violence in the post-pandemic era, while ensuring preparedness for effective violence prevention during future pandemics.

Gut microbiota and metabolic alterations in participants with flatulence identify Faecalibacterium prausnitzii as a key microbial target for clinical intervention.

Flatulence is closely associated with gut dysbiosis, yet the characteristic microbial signatures, metabolic alterations, and actionable intervention targets remain unclear. This limited mechanistic understanding has hindered the development of precise microbiota-based strategies for managing flatulence. Here, we found that participants with flatulence exhibited marked shifts in gut microbial functions and fecal metabolic profiles compared with healthy controls, characterized by enhanced abnormal fermentation, enrichment of oxidative stress-related functions, elevated low-grade inflammatory signatures, and reduced anti-inflammatory and mucosal-protective metabolic features. Faecalibacterium prausnitzii was significantly negatively associated with the high-gas-producing phenotype. In vitro replenishment experiments further validated the role of F. prausnitzii in reducing gas production, promoting butyrate generation, and remodeling butyrate-associated microbial communities. Based on microbial interaction analysis, we identified Bifidobacterium longum CCFM1319 as a candidate strain for targeting F. prausnitzii. In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial, supplementation with B. longum CCFM1319 significantly increased intestinal F. prausnitzii abundance and improved flatulence-related symptoms. Collectively, these findings reveal the microbiota and metabolic dysbiosis underlying flatulence, highlight the key regulatory role of F. prausnitzii, and lays the foundation for targeted microbiota-based intervention strategies for flatulence.

Unconfined compressive strength prediction for the ordinary Portland cement-steel slag-silica fume ternary system based on response surface methodology.

This research was undertaken to address environmental concerns associated with industrial solid waste and to reduce cement consumption in geotechnical engineering. It specifically investigates the feasibility of using steel slag (SS) and silica fume (SF) as partial substitutes for ordinary Portland cement (OPC) in soil stabilization. The effects of SS, SF, OPC, and initial moisture content on the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of stabilized soil were investigated through single-factor experiments and response surface methodology (RSM). The results show that SS and SF can synergistically enhance the strength of stabilized soil, although their interaction effect was not statistically significant within the investigated ranges. Compared with soil stabilized solely with OPC, the addition of 18 % SS and 10 % SF reduced OPC consumption by 3 % without compromising strength. Microstructural and compositional analyses further revealed that SS mainly supplied calcium- and silica-bearing components, while SF provided highly reactive silica and micro-filling effects, jointly promoting hydration reactions and improving the compactness of the stabilized soil matrix. As a result, more hydration products were formed in the OPC/SS/SF-stabilized soil than in the OPC-stabilized soil, which contributed to pore filling and strength enhancement. This study provides useful guidance for the sustainable utilization of industrial solid waste and the low-carbon development of soil stabilization materials.

Mechanistic insights into flavor deterioration in bitter sturgeon caviar: Evidence from lipidomics and metagenomics.

This study systematically compared the flavor and multi-omics differences between normal caviar and bitter caviar based on quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA), volatile compounds (VOCs) analysis, untargeted lipidomics, and metagenomics. The results showed that bitter caviar was characterized not only by increased bitterness, but also by decreased positive sensory attributes, including buttery, nutty, and marine fresh. VOCs analysis indicated that the volatile profile of bitter caviar was reorganized. Compounds such as 3-hydroxy-2-butanone, 1-octen-3-ol, and (E, Z)-2,6-nonadienal showed higher relative odor activity values (rOAVs); however, these changes did not improve its overall sensory experience. Untargeted lipidomics identified 492 differential lipids. These changes were mainly characterized by decreased PC and increased DG and LPC in bitter caviar. KEGG pathways analysis showed that these differential lipids were mainly associated with glycerophospholipid metabolism, choline metabolism in cancer, and retrograde endocannabinoid signaling. Metagenomic analysis showed that bacteria dominated the microbial community of caviar. Among them, Bacillus and Micromonospora showed relatively high abundance in the caviar microbiota. They were also closely associated with lipid metabolic changes involving PC, DG, and LPC, suggesting their potential as candidate targets for future microbiota-directed regulation of caviar quality. These findings provide new insights into the mechanisms underlying sensory deterioration and flavor formation in bitter caviar, and offer a theoretical basis for improving caviar quality in industrial production.

Improving Patient Comfort of Vibratory Anesthetic Devices With a Dampener: A Pilot Study.

BACKGROUND: Vibratory anesthetic devices (VADs) reduce dermatologic injection pain, but their vibration can feel harsh at sensitive anatomical sites. Simple modifications improving patient comfort may enhance VAD adoption. OBJECTIVE: The authors evaluated whether dampening VAD vibration with a cotton buffer improves patient comfort and characterized tactile features influencing preferences. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a single-site, participant-blinded pilot study (N = 53), adults received a dampened VAD (D-VAD) and standard VAD (S-VAD) at 5 sites-lateral nasal wall, submalar cheek, ear helix, lateral neck, and dorsal forearm-in randomized, contralateral application. Site-specific preference was analyzed with binomial and Cochran Q tests; demographic associations with univariate analyses. Word2vec and hierarchical clustering analyzed qualitative reasons behind patient preference. RESULTS: D-VAD was preferred at all sites across demographics-lateral nasal wall (88.7%), submalar cheek (84.9%), ear helix (88.7%), lateral neck (77.4%), and dorsal forearm (75.5%) (all p < .001), with strongest preference at face and head/neck (p = .018). Computational semantics analysis of qualitative responses identified 6 themes driving preference: Smoothness, Gentleness, Controlled, Low Frequency, Low Intensity, and Less Bothersome. CONCLUSION: Dampening VAD vibration with a cotton buffer enhances comfort across sensitive sites, with reduced harshness and smoother sensation underlying preference. This simple modification may improve patient experience, encouraging broader VAD adoption.

The mediating role of protective factors in relationship between caregiving components and psychosocial adjustment among young carers: a meta-analysis.

OBJECTIVE: Higher youth caregiving is associated with poorer psychosocial outcomes in young carers; hence a research priority is to investigate protective factors that mitigate the adverse effects of youth caregiving. This systematic review with meta-analysis examined the relationships among youth caregiving components and young carer psychosocial adjustment and protective factors, as well as the mediating role of the protective factors in the relationship between caregiving components and psychosocial adjustment. METHODS: Three electronic databases were searched until April 2024 and 10,244 unique publications were identified. Following abstract and title screening, 422 publications were subjected to full-text screening and 60 quantitative studies were included in this study. RESULTS: Meta-analytic structural equation modeling (MASEM) results revealed positive direct effects of caregiving responsibilities and caregiving experiences on benefit finding (β = .43, 95% CI [.074, .782], p < .05) and emotion regulation (β = .72, 95% CI [.44, 1.00], p < .001), respectively. However, there was neither a significant direct effect of caregiving components on psychosocial adjustment nor a significant indirect effect of caregiving components on psychosocial adjustment through benefit finding or emotion regulation. CONCLUSION: Findings revealed a need for research into how caregiving contextual factors affect relations among youth caregiving, protective factors, and adjustment.

Identification of CD55 as a downstream factor of EP4 receptor signaling in colorectal cancer cells.

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) signaling through the E-type prostanoid 4 (EP4) receptor has been implicated in the pathophysiology of colorectal cancer (CRC). We herein identified decay-accelerating factor, also known as CD55, as a novel CRC-associated downstream factor of the EP4 receptor. The integration of transcriptomic profiling of PGE2-stimulated HCA-7 human colon cancer cells with analyses of cancer genomic databases predicted CD55 as a potential EP4 receptor-regulated target. Inhibitor-based experiments showed the induction of CD55 after a PGE2 stimulation required the EP4 receptor and Gi protein in HCA-7 cells, whereas protein kinase A signaling was dispensable. In combination with a toxicogenomic database analysis, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) was identified as the predominant effector connecting the EP4 receptor to CD55 upregulation. A single-cell RNA-seq re-analysis of human CRC tissues revealed CD55 upregulation and p38 MAPK-related gene set enrichment in epithelial cells expressing the EP4 receptor, suggesting that this induction mechanism may operate in a subset of epithelial cells in clinical specimens. Collectively, these results delineate a PGE2/EP4 receptor/Gi protein/p38 MAPK signaling axis that induces CD55 expression in HCA-7 cells and epithelial tumor cells, provide new mechanistic clues for understanding the regulation of complement regulatory molecule CD55 expression by prostaglandin signaling.

Direct background subtraction LC-MS/MS assay for human plasma progesterone: Full validation and comparative application.

OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method based on direct background subtraction for the quantification of endogenous progesterone in human plasma. METHODS: Protein precipitation was used for sample preparation with deuterated progesterone as the internal standard. Chromatographic separation was performed on an ACQUITY C18 column using gradient elution with 0.1% formic acid in water and acetonitrile at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. Mass spectrometry was operated in positive electrospray ionization mode with multiple reaction monitoring. Instead of using analyte-stripped matrix or surrogate matrix, authentic plasma was directly used for all validation experiments. Quantitation was achieved by subtracting the background signal, and results were compared with those from the classical method using stripped matrix. RESULTS: Excellent linearity was achieved over 0.1-100 ng/mL (R2 ≥ 0.99). Precision, accuracy, recovery, matrix effect, and stability all met FDA and ICH M10 acceptance criteria. Compared with the classical method, the bias in Cmax and AUC0-t was within ±15%, indicating no significant difference between the two methods. CONCLUSION: The direct background subtraction method avoids laborious preparation of blank matrix, eliminates matrix effect discrepancies, and is simple, efficient, and low-cost. It can serve as a general strategy for endogenous substance determination.
