Authors: Yang Qinqin , Chen Dong , Li Chungong , Liu Runjing , Wang Xiang 
Published: April 2024

Introduction: The integrity of the erythrocyte membrane cytoskeletal network controls the morphology, specific surface area, material exchange, and state of erythrocytes in the blood circulation. The antioxidant properties of resveratrol have been reported, but studies on the effect of resveratrol on the hypoxia-induced mechanical properties of erythrocytes are rare.Methods: In this study, the effects of different concentrations of resveratrol on the protection of red blood cell mor-phology and changes in intracellular redox levels were examined to select an appropriate concentration for further study. The Young’s modulus and surface roughness of the red blood cells and blood viscosity were measured via atomic force microsco-py and a blood rheometer, respectively. Flow cytometry, free hemoglobin levels, and membrane lipid peroxidation levels were used to characterize cell membrane damage in the presence and absence of resveratrol after hypoxia. The effects of oxida-tive stress on the erythrocyte membrane proteins band 3 and spectrin were further investigated by immunofluorescent label-ing and Western blotting.Results and discussion: Resveratrol changed the surface roughness and Young’s modulus of the erythrocyte mem-brane, reduced the rate of eryptosis in erythrocytes after hypoxia, and stabilized the intracellular redox level. Further data showed that resveratrol protected the erythrocyte membrane proteins band 3 and spectrin. Moreover, resistance to band 3 pro-tein tyrosine phosphorylation and sulfhydryl oxidation can protect the stability of the erythrocyte membrane skeleton net-work, thereby protecting erythrocyte deformability under hypoxia. The results of the present study may provide new insights into the roles of resveratrol in the prevention of hypoxia and as an antioxidant.

BackgroundPerinatal mental health conditions affect 800,000 individuals annually in the United States and are a leading cause of complications in pregnancy and childbirth. However, the impact of these conditions varies across racial and ethnic groups. Portable digital solutions, such as mobile apps, have been developed for maternal mental health, but they often do not adequately cater to the needs of women of color. To ensure the effectiveness and equity of these interventions, it is crucial to consider the unique experiences of perinatal women from diverse racial backgrounds. This qualitative study aims to explore the complex aspects of motherhood, maternal mental well-being, and resilience among perinatal women of color. It also investigates the factors that either hinder or facilitate the use of Virtual Reality (VR) for stress management in this specific demographic.MethodsThis research involves two focus groups comprising perinatal women, primarily identifying as Black or Latina, enrolled in the ongoing Nurturing Moms study at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. Additionally, feedback is collected from five different participants. The study assesses Nurture VR™, a VR-based program integrating mindfulness techniques, relaxation exercises, and guided imagery for pregnancy and postpartum.ResultsQualitative analysis uncovers five primary themes and 19 sub-themes, addressing the complexities of motherhood, maternal mental health, attitudes towards VR therapy, postpartum care, and the perception of resilience. Participants share challenges related to household management, caregiving, financial stress, breastfeeding, relaxation, sleep, and the significance of social support. Their preferences and reservations regarding VR therapy are also expressed.ConclusionThis study sheds light on the diverse struggles and obstacles faced by women of color during and after pregnancy, with potential repercussions for their mental and sleep health. It underscores the need for mental health screening and analysis of maternal stress-related sleep issues, in addition to the facilitation of social support in maternal health programs. Additionally, it highlights the promise of culturally responsive behavioral treatments, including VR interventions, in offering timely and tailored mental health support to perinatal women, taking into account their intersectional identities.

Published: April 2024

BackgroundFruits and vegetables (F&amp;V) play a vital role in promoting health and preventing diseases. Numerous studies have demonstrated the association between F&amp;V consumption and reduced risks of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and mortality. Despite the high priority of public health in promoting F&amp;V intake, Chinese immigrants in Canada often fall below national guidelines in their consumption. Understanding the factors influencing F&amp;V intake in this community is crucial for developing effective interventions.MethodsThis study used an applied ethnographic research approach to gain insight into the enablers and barriers that influence F&amp;V intake among Chinese-Canadian adults in Richmond, BC. Semi-structured interviews and ‘photovoice’ group sessions were conducted to gather qualitative data from community participants and health care providers (HCPs).ResultsThe research identified four key themes: (1) Cultural differences around how vegetables are perceived, consumed and prepared; (2) Motivators and strategies for increasing vegetable and fruit intake; (3) Lack of culturally relevant dietary education and resources; and (4) Importance of value in vegetable/fruit-related decisions. Participants showed a strong preference for the traditional Eastern diet, with cost of food and lack of knowledge about Western vegetables acting as barriers to dietary diversity. The study also highlighted the need for culturally tailored educational resources to effectively promote F&amp;V consumption.ConclusionBy adopting a multi-modal approach, incorporating both interviews and ‘photovoice’ sessions, this research provided comprehensive insights into the participants’ perspectives and experiences related to F&amp;V intake. Understanding these factors can guide the development of culturally appropriate interventions to increase F&amp;V consumption among Chinese-Canadian adults in Richmond, BC, and potentially improve their overall health and well-being. Future studies should consider the heterogeneity within the Chinese immigrant population and target a more balanced representation of age groups to further enhance our understanding of F&amp;V intake patterns in this community.

BackgroundGrip strength has been shown to be associated with chronic renal insufficiency, but the relationship between grip strength and albuminuria has not been confirmed. In this study, we used NHANES data to explore the association between grip strength and albuminuria in a US population.MethodsIn this analytical study, we utilized data sourced from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), specifically spanning the years 2011 to 2014. The dataset included 9,638 participants aged 20 years or older. After adjusting for potential confounders, multiple regression models were developed to infer the interrelationship between grip strength and albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR), and subgroup analyses were conducted.ResultsAfter adjusting for all covariates, ACR by 0.49 mg/g [−0.49 (95% CI: −0.93, −0.04)] for each 1 kg increase in grip strength decreased. Subgroup analysis showed that gender, age, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking, alcohol consumption and body mass index did not influence the negative correlation between grip strength and albuminuria.ConclusionThere is a negative correlation between grip strength and albuminuria in the general U.S. population.

A Novel Approach to Raman Distributed Temperature-Sensing System for Short-Range Applications
Authors: Pieracci Augusto , Nanni Jacopo , Tartarini Giovanni , Lanzoni Massimo 
Published: April 2024

A novel approach to the development of Distributed Temperature-Sensing (DTS) systems based on Raman Scattering in Multimode optical fibers operating at around 800 nm is presented, focusing on applications requiring temperature profile measurement in the range of a few hundreds of meters. In contrast to the standard Raman DTS systems, which aim to shorten the pulse space width as much as possible to improve the precision of measurement, the novel approach studied in this work is based on the use of pulses with a space width that is approximately equal to the distance covered by the fiber under test. The proposed technique relies on numerical post-processing to obtain the temperature profile measurement with a precision of about ±3 °C and a spatial resolution of 8 m, due to the transaction phases of the optical pulses. This solution simplifies the electronic circuit development, also minimizing the required laser peak power needed compared to the typical narrow pulse techniques.
