Authors: Huang Zhihai , Xing Guangliang , Tu Chuanhai , Rui Xin , Dong Mingsheng 
Published: January 2020

SummaryIn the present study, Premna microphylla turcz leaves (PMTLs) containing rich pectin and isoflavones were introduced to prepare packed tofu coagulated by lactic fermentation, in order to promote its physicochemical and functional properties. Results showed that the final storage (G′) moduli of packed tofu added with PMTL extracts range from 195.2 ± 5.6 Pa to 420.6 ± 10.3 Pa, which were significantly higher (P < 0.05) than the control (PMTL‐free, 99.5 ± 8.3 Pa). The hardness, gumminess and chewiness of packed tofu added with 0.8% (w/w) PMTL extracts were 1.43–1.49 times higher than the control without decreasing its water‐holding capacity and exhibited the highest scores of overall acceptability, which was recommended as the most acceptable concentration. The total phenolic and flavonoid contents of 0.8%‐PMTL supplementation in packed tofu were 1.20 and 1.65 times higher than the control and showed enhanced antioxidant properties in DPPH radical‐scavenging capacity, FRAP and RP.

SummaryThe objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of apple peel polyphenol extract (APPE) on the microbiological and physicochemical properties of yoghurt ice cream stored at −20 °C for 90 days. Five level of APPE were added in yoghurt ice cream as: CTL (control without APPE); AE1 (1% APPE); AE2 (2% APPE); AE3 (3% APPE); AE4 (4% APPE); and AE5 (5% APPE). Samples with APPE had viable counts of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium lactis of ≥8 log cfu g−1 and >7 log cfu g−1, respectively, during 90 days storage except the control sample. The highest viability of probiotics was obtained in the sample fortified with 5% APPE. The presence of APPE increased the acidity, decreased the melting rate and enhanced the overrun. Compared with the control sample, the hardness of the experimental samples increased with the fortification of APPE. The addition of APPE significantly increased sensory attributes.

Published: January 2020

SummaryThere is a growing interest in vegetable‐based sources of proteins. Despite its high nutrient content, lupine has been rarely exploited as a protein source due to the presence of high levels of non‐nutritive compounds such as alkaloids, which impart a bitter taste. Here, we evaluated the effect of debittering and solid‐state fermentation on the nutritional contents of three lupine varieties (Lupinus mutabilis Sweet). These processes induced significant changes (P < 0.05) in the nutritional composition of the three lupine varieties (INIAP‐450, INIAP‐451 and Criollo) and increased the protein levels to 644.55 g kg−1 (Criollo variety) and the levels of several constituent amino acids such as valine (54.62 g kg−1), methionine (42.47 g kg−1), isoleucine (59.27 g kg−1) and leucine (76.32 g kg−1). The ether extract of INIAP‐450 showed increased levels (up to 244.03 g kg−1); especially, monounsaturated fatty acids (559.78 g kg−1) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (293.17 g kg−1) were observed. The omega‐6/omega‐3 ratio in the debittered grain oil reached the minimum requirement established for good‐quality oils (5/1). However, the levels of other components decreased, showing levels up to 13.04 g kg−1 (total starch) in the Criollo variety, 22.62 g kg−1 (resistant starch) in INIAP‐450, 6.53 g kg−1 (potassium) in INIAP‐451, 46 g kg−1 (iron) in INIAP‐451 and 29.75 g kg−1 (zinc) in INIAP‐450.

AbstractBACKGROUNDFood presentations within media content are often made responsible for todays' obesity epidemic. This assessment is based on the assumption that food presentations create cue reactivity, which in turn affects the amount of food intake.OBJECTIVEThis study investigates children's implicit reactions (cue reactivity) toward healthy, unhealthy, and non‐ediblel objects.METHODSWe conducted an experimental eye‐tracking study comparing children's cue reactivity assessed with visual attention toward healthy and unhealthy food presentations, as well as non‐edible objects. We controlled for the role of children's hunger, body mass index (BMI), and age.RESULTSResults indicated no difference between healthy and unhealthy food presentations, yet food generally aroused more visual attention in children compared to non‐edible objects. Explicit memory for the embedded foods or objects was mediated through visual attention. However, unhealthy food presentations also directly affected children's explicit memory.CONCLUSIONSCompared to non‐edible objects, food presentations seem to be eye‐catchers that immediately grab children's attention and they are also able to maintain this attention. Yet, for unhealthy food presentations, memory seems to be less dependent on visual attention. That is, compared to healthy products or non‐edible objects, unhealthy food presentations do not require the same amount of visual attention in order to be remembered.
Staphylococcal enterotoxin U promotes proinflammatory activity of macrophage via up‐regulation of allograft inflammatory factor 1 expression
Authors: Zhao Yanying , Tang Junni , Tang Cheng 
Published: January 2020

AbstractStaphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) are a wide array of virulence factors produced by Staphylococcus aureus with potent super‐antigenic activity and they were reported to be associated with sepsis‐related infections, pneumonia, food poisoning, toxic shock syndrome, and autoimmune diseases. Macrophages play important roles in innate immune responses against bacterial infections. Thus, the present study was conducted to explore the effect of SEU on macrophage activation. Seu gene was cloned from clinical Staphylococcus aureus strain related to food poisoning; then SEU protein was purified by Ni2+ column affinity chromatography. Thereafter, macrophage proliferation was analyzed with a Cell Counting Kit‐8 and inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor‐alpha (TNF‐α), interleukin 6 (IL6) secretion was assayed with the corresponding ELISA detection kit. Furthermore, western blot was used to assay inflammation‐associated protein allograft inflammatory factor 1 (AIF‐1) expression, then the expression of AIF‐1 was interfered by RNAi and the effect of SEU on macrophage proliferation and TNF‐α, IL6 secretion was assessed again. The obtained deoxynucleotide sequence of seu gene (GenBank accession No. MH737695) shared 98.5% similarity with previously identified seu from S. aureus 383F (GenBank accession No. AY205307). SEU protein‐enhanced macrophage proliferation and inflammatory cytokine TNFα, IL6 secretion. Furthermore, it upregulated AIF‐1 expression, thereafter the expression of AIF‐1 was interfered by RNAi and the interference abolished the increase of cell proliferation and inflammatory cytokine TNFα, IL6 secretion induced by SEU. Current results demonstrated that SEU promoted the proinflammatory activity of macrophage via upregulation of AIF‐1expression.
A Survey of Midwives’ Attitudes Toward Men in Midwifery

Published: January 2020

IntroductionThe midwifery profession in the United States demonstrates a significant lack of diversity. The critical need to address the lack of racial and ethnic diversity in the midwifery workforce is well recognized; little attention, however, has been given to gender diversity. This study focused on gender diversity within midwifery, specifically with regard to men who are midwives. Nearly 99% of midwives in the United States are women. No research has previously explored the attitudes of the predominantly female midwifery workforce toward its male members.MethodsAn invitation to an internet survey was sent to the American College of Nurse‐Midwives (ACNM) membership. Quantitative and open‐ended questions assessed attitudes toward and experiences with male midwives, whether members thought men belong in the profession, whether gender impacts quality of care, if ACNM should facilitate gender diversification, and whether exposure to male midwives impacts attitudes toward gender diversification. Data analysis of qualitative responses used a qualitative description methodology to identify common themes.ResultsSix thousand, nine hundred sixty‐five surveys were distributed, and 864 participants completed the survey. Respondents reported beliefs that men belong in midwifery (71.4%), that gender does not affect quality of care (74%), and that ACNM should support gender diversity (72%). Respondents’ perspectives revealed 3 dichotomous themes pertaining to the core nature of midwifery and how men fit within the profession: 1) inclusion versus exclusion, 2) empowerment versus protection, and 3) sharing with versus taking from. Often, the same respondent expressed both aspects of the dichotomy simultaneously.DiscussionThis study contributes new information about midwives’ attitudes and beliefs toward gender diversity in midwifery in the United States. The values of professionalism, tradition, feminism, protection, and diversification inform participant responses. Findings support efforts toward gender diversification and have implications for implementation in education and practice.

AbstractPromising results from recent clinical trials on the approved antisense oligonucleotide nusinersen in pediatric patients with 5q‐linked spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) still have to be confirmed in adult patients but are hindered by a lack of sensitive biomarkers that indicate an early therapeutic response. Changes in the overall neurochemical composition of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) under therapy may yield additive diagnostic and predictive information. With this prospective proof‐of‐concept and feasibility study, we evaluated non‐targeted CSF proteomic profiles by mass spectrometry along with basic CSF parameters of 10 adult patients with SMA types 2 or 3 before and after 10 months of nusinersen therapy, in comparison with 10 age‐ and gender‐matched controls. These data were analyzed by bioinformatics and correlated with clinical outcomes assessed by the Hammersmith Functional Rating Scale Expanded (HFMSE). CSF proteomic profiles of SMA patients differed from controls. Two groups of SMA patients were identified based on unsupervised clustering. These groups differed in age and expression of proteins related to neurodegeneration and neuroregeneration. Intraindividual CSF differences in response to nusinersen treatment varied between patients who clinically improved and those who did not. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD016757. Comparative CSF proteomic analysis in adult SMA patients before and after treatment with nusinersen‐identified subgroups and treatment‐related changes and may therefore be suitable for diagnostic and predictive analyses.

Published: January 2020

AbstractAims and objectivesTo compare nurse and patient satisfaction with intentional rounding in a rural Australian hospital setting and examine which aspects of care predict satisfaction.BackgroundIntentional rounding is a systematic process used by healthcare professionals to anticipate and address the fundamental needs of hospitalised patients. Despite a wealth of literature about nurse and patient satisfaction with intentional rounding, no studies have compared nurse and patient satisfaction, and little is known about intentional rounding in a rural setting.DesignA cross‐sectional study was undertaken with nursing staff and patients at a rural hospital and reported in accordance with STROBE guidelines.MethodsNurses (n = 63) and patients (n = 66) were invited to complete the Patient Satisfaction Survey between April and June 2018. Nurse and patient responses were compared and predictors of nurse and patient satisfaction with intentional rounding care were determined using generalised estimating equation models.ResultsBoth nurses and patients positively rated satisfaction with all aspects of nursing care provided and received through intentional rounding. Nurses' satisfaction with care provided to patients through intentional rounding was predicted by interest in patients' feelings about their care. Patient satisfaction with the care they received whilst hospitalised was predicted by the ability to see a nurse when they needed to, the provision of pain relief when needed, feeling comfortable and safe, and the perception that nurses were interested in their feelings about their care.ConclusionIntentional rounding is a means for nurses to regularly attend to patients' emotional and physical needs, which is central to patients feeling safe and cared for whilst hospitalised.Relevance to clinical practiceIntentional rounding practices ensure that patients feel genuinely cared for by nursing staff whilst hospitalised and can improve nurse and patient interactions, satisfaction and outcomes.
Families in Later Life: A Decade in Review
Authors: Carr Deborah , Utz Rebecca L. 
Published: January 2020

AbstractLater‐life families encompass the legal, biological, romantic, and kin‐like relationships of persons ages 65 and older. Research on older families has flourished over the past decade, as population aging has intensified concerns regarding the capacities of families to care for older adults and the adequacy of public pension systems to provide an acceptable standard of living. Shifting patterns of family formation over the past half‐century have created a context in which contemporary older adults' family lives differ markedly from earlier generations. Decreasing numbers of adults are growing old with their first and only spouse, with rising numbers divorcing, remarrying, forming non‐marital romantic partnerships, or living single by choice. Remarriage and the formation of stepfamilies pose challenges and opportunities as older adults negotiate complex decisions such as inheritance and caregiving. Family relationships are consequential for older adults' well‐being, operating through both biological and psychosocial mechanisms. We synthesize research from the past decade, revealing how innovations in data and methods have refined our understanding of late‐life families against a backdrop of demographic change. We show how contemporary research refines classic theoretical frameworks and tests emerging conceptual models. We organize the article around two main types of family relationships: (1) marriage and romantic partnerships and (2) intergenerational relationships. We discuss how family caregiving occurs within these relationships, and offer three promising avenues for future research: ethnic minority and immigrant families; older adults without close kin (“elder orphans”); and the potentials of rapidly evolving technologies for intergenerational relationships and caregiving.
Families Across the Income Spectrum: A Decade in Review
Authors: Cooper Marianne , Pugh Allison J. 
Published: January 2020

AbstractDuring the past decade, scholars continued to focus on how larger economic trends impacted families across the income spectrum. From income and wealth inequality to economic insecurity, the gaps between the haves and the have nots remained, and some widened during this period. The authors' comprehensive review found the following three major takeaways: first, the biggest economic divides run through families with children; second, low‐income families face concentrated disadvantage marked by insecurity and precarity; and third, inequality and insecurity shaped the “dynamism” of family life, including how families respond culturally and emotionally to economic changes, and how these responses unfold over time. They examine active areas of research, including parenting trends and the transition to adulthood. They also document a new scholarly emphasis on uncertainty and instability along with the forces that exacerbate or mitigate them, such as job quality, economic volatility, wealth, and incarceration. Research during the past decade focused on the experience and consequences of dynamism, reflecting not only the reality that families evolve but also that they face continual change in their economic, social, and political contexts. The authors highlight research investigating how families “do dynamism,” work that looks over time or offers in‐depth examinations of how families adapt to and cope with dynamism every day. This research reveals that inequality and insecurity are not only matters of levels and gaps but also ongoing matters of meaning‐making, identity, and feeling. The authors conclude by highlighting some strengths and weaknesses of these research streams and pointing out new avenues for future scholarship.
Family Processes and Children's and Adolescents' Well‐Being
Authors: Buehler Cheryl 
Published: January 2020

AbstractThe primary purpose of this review was to examine theory and research published during the past decade that focused on family processes and children's and adolescents' well‐being. Scholarship focused on family processes and child and adolescent well‐being made significant and exciting advances during this decade based on several key advancements. In addition to a brief introduction and a conclusion, this decade in review is organized into four sections. In the first section, advances made in the literature because of increased attention to complexity and specificity are illustrated. The second section describes advances that were made because of increased attention to family processes in diverse families. Diversity in the samples of families studied, extensions in family process models, and the revisioning of grand theories using a diversity lens that were used to conceptualize family processes are detailed. In the third section, the importance of time in the study of family processes and child and adolescent well‐being is described. The emphasis on families' daily lives is noted. In addition, prospective considerations and studies of change over time are highlighted. Strengths in family functioning are detailed in the fourth section of this article: positivity, regulatory processes, and family organization. These three areas were selected to elaborate the idea that one of the major advancements in the family process literature during the past decade was an emphasis on family strengths. This review concludes with a commentary regarding how conceptual and methodological advancements during the past decade can guide future scholarship.
Gender, Feminist, and Intersectional Perspectives on Families: A Decade in Review
Authors: Few‐Demo April L. , Allen Katherine R. 
Published: January 2020

AbstractThis review of the gender, feminist, and intersectional literature on families from 2010 to 2019 examines the following three streams of research, theorizing, and praxis: (a) the framing of gender as systemic social stratification and inequalities, (b) the application of feminist perspectives and praxis to highlight and change power disparities in private and public spheres; and (c) the application of intersectionality perspectives to examine and redress social inequities, privilege, and oppression. Collectively, these streams represent variations of a critical theoretical perspective on families. This article has the following three aims: (a) examine how the critical approaches of gender, feminist, and intersectional theories have been used to frame the study of family life during the past decade; (b) identify and assess empirical exemplars in the family literature that highlight the explicit application of these critical approaches; and (c) discuss future directions to push the study of families forward toward more inclusivity and relevance.
Family Matters: Research on Family Ties and Health, 2010 to 2020
Authors: Umberson Debra , Thomeer Mieke Beth 
Published: January 2020

ABSTRACTFamily ties have wide‐ranging consequences for health, for better and for worse. This decade review uses a life course perspective to frame significant advances in research on the effects of family structure and transitions (e.g., marital status) and family dynamics and quality (e.g., emotional support from family members) on health across the life course. Significant advances include the linking of childhood family experiences to health at older ages, identification of biosocial processes that explain how family ties influence health throughout life, research on social contagion showing how family members influence one another's health, and attention to diversity in family and health dynamics, including gender, sexuality, socioeconomic, and racial diversity. Significant innovations in methods include dyadic and family‐level analysis and causal inference strategies. The review concludes by identifying directions for future research on families and health, advocating for a “family biography” framework to guide future research, and calling for more research specifically designed to assess policies that affect families and their health from childhood into later life.
Origins of weedy rice revealed by polymorphisms of chloroplast DNA sequences and nuclear microsatellites

Published: January 2020

AbstractConspecific weeds that permanently infest worldwide agroecosystems are evolved from their crop species. These weeds cause substantial problems for crop production by competing for resources in agricultural fields. Weedy rice represents such a conspecific weed infesting rice ecosystems, and causing tremendous rice yield losses owing to its strong competitiveness and abundant genetic diversity, likely resulted from its complex origins. Here, we report the use of chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) fingerprints to determine whether weedy rice is evolved from its wild (exo‐feral) or cultivated (endo‐feral) rice progenitor as the maternal donor in recent hybridization events. In addition, we also applied nuclear simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers to confirm the exo‐feral or endo‐feral origins of weedy rice accessions determined by the cpDNA fingerprints. We found that the studied weedy rice accessions evolved either from their wild or cultivated rice progenitor, as the maternal donor, based on the cpDNA network and structure analyses. Combined analyses of cpDNA and nuclear SSR markers indicated that a much greater proportion of weedy rice accessions had the endo‐feral origin. In addition, results from the genetic structure of nuclear SSR markers indicated that weedy rice accessions from the endo‐feral pathway are distinctly associated with either indica or japonica rice cultivars, suggesting their complex origins through crop–weed introgression. The complex pathways of origin and evolution could greatly promote genetic diversity of weedy rice. Therefore, innovative methods should be developed for effective weedy rice control.
