Comparison of two validation nutrition tools in hospitalized elderly: Full mini nutritional assessment and short-form mini nutritional assessment

International Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2019
Background: The aim was to determine validity, reliability, and cutoff of full-mini nutritional assessment (MNA) and MNA-short form (SF) also which one was better for the screening of malnutrition in the Iranian hospitalized elderly.

Origin, evolution and biogeographic dynamics of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Southwestern Europe

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

Identification of histone deacetylase inhibitor targeting type I interferon and B‐cell abnormalities in systemic lupus erythematosus

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by increased type I interferon (IFN‐I) and autoantibody production. This study aimed to identify drugs that can inhibit both IFN‐I and autoantibody production. Methods We identified an inhibitor of IFN‐I production from a chemical library.

Calcium retinoate nanoparticle mediated microglial polarization to regulate inflammatory microenvironment for therapy of neuroinflammatory disease

BMEMat, EarlyView.
A nano‐drug based on retinoic acid and calcium is developed, which can be rapily endocytosed by microglia and decomposed into small molecule/ion storms in lysosomes. This nano‐drug regulates microglial phenotype switching from M1 to M2 while indirectly guiding neuronal differentiation of endogenous neural stem cells, thereby ameliorating ...

Programmatic regulation of macrophage polarization by HAp@MXene nanocomposites to promote bone repair

BMEMat, EarlyView.
HAp@MXene nanocomposites could achieve the programmed regulation of macrophage polarization. They first induce M1 polarization through magnetoelectric induction to combat infection. Subsequently, controlled Ca2+ release drives M2 polarization to promote tissue regeneration. This dual mechanism accelerates bone defect repair and highlights the potential
