The study was carried out to determine the perceived stress levels and health-protective behaviors of nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This study used a descriptive design. The sample consisted of a total of 372 students.

The examination of the protective measures adopted by the students against COVID-19 indicated that the mean perceived stress subscale scores of the students who did not use a mask and disposable wipes when coughing/sneezing were statistically significantly higher (p < .005).

The stress levels of students should be determined at certain intervals, and interventional studies on coping methods that will reduce stress levels should be planned.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of negative automatic thoughts on hope in patients with schizophrenia.

The sample size of the study was calculated to be 94 patients through the power analysis. The study was completed with 115 patients who met the inclusion criteria. "descriptive characteristics form," "automatic thoughts questionnaire-negative," and "dispositional hope scale" were used to collect the data.

In the study, it was found that there was a negative strong correlation between negative automatic thoughts and hope levels. In addition, the negative automatic thoughts of the patients had a statistical significance in accounting for hope (p < .05) and the negative automatic thoughts predicted the hope by 66%.

In the study, it was found that the patients had high negative automatic thoughts and moderate level of hopes. As negative automatic thoughts increased, hope decreased.

The disease often manifests with flu-like symptoms and is dominated by pulmonary complications, but widely diverse clinical manifestations involving multiple organ systems can result. We posit that viral tropism and the aberrant host immune response mediate the protean findings and severity in this disease. In general, extrapulmonary manifestations are a harbinger of or contemporaneously associate with disease progression, but in the case of some extrapulmonary findings (GI and dermatologic), may track with milder disease. The precise underlying pathophysiological mechanisms remain incompletely elucidated, and additional immune phenotyping studies are warranted to reveal early correlates of disease outcomes and novel therapeutic targets.

The choice of the most suited drug for a specific patient is primarily based on the results of the pivotal randomized clinical trials and on the patient's characteristics and comorbidities.Ambient fine particulate matter of less then 2.5 μm (PM2.5) has been linked to morbidity and mortality from respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Lung epithelial cells bear the brunt of PM2.5 exposure. In the present study, we found that exposure of A549 cells to the water-soluble fraction of PM2.5 (WS-PM2.5) promoted the expression and internalization of caveolin-1. Caveolin-1 knockdown restrained the endocytosis of WS-PM2.5. In addition, WS-PM2.5 accumulation in the cells induced the phosphorylation of serine/threonine protein kinase B (AKT) and nuclear factor κ-light-chain enhancer of activated B cells (NFκB), as well as the expression of Krüppel-like factor 5 (KLF5). Inhibiting activation of AKT and NFκB also partly reduced WS-PM2.5 concentration in cells, but KLF5 knockdown did not affect the intracellular accumulation of WS-PM2.5. KLF5 knockdown suppressed cytochrome P450 family 1 subfamily A member 1 (CYP1A1) expression and activated caspase 3. Luciferase reporter assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay showed that KLF5 positively regulated the transcription of KLF5. These results suggested that caveolin-1 was required for the endocytosis of WS-PM2.5. Intracellular accumulation of WS-PM2.5 activated AKT and NFκB, which facilitated WS-PM2.5 endocytosis. WS-PM2.5 accumulation also induced KLF5 expression, increasing the transcriptional expression of CYP1A1, which contributed to activate caspase 3.Since 2019, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has infected 10 millions of people across the globe, and massive mutations in virus genome have occurred during the rapid spread of this novel coronavirus. Variance in protein sequence might lead to a change in protein structure and interaction, then further affect the viral physiological characteristics, which could bring tremendous influence on the pandemic. Eganelisib mw In this study, we investigated 20 nonsynonymous mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 genome in which incidence rates were all ≥ 1% as of September 1st, 2020, and then modeled and analyzed the mutant protein structures. The results showed that four types of mutations caused dramatic changes in protein structures (RMSD ≥ 5.0 Å), which were Q57H and G251V in open-reading frames 3a (ORF3a), S194L, and R203K/G204R in nucleocapsid (N). Next, we found that these mutations also affected the binding affinity of intraviral protein interactions. In addition, the hot spots within these docking mutant complexes were altered, among which the mutation Q57H was involved in both Orf3a-S and Orf3a-Orf8 protein interactions. Besides, these mutations were widely distributed all over the world, and their occurrences fluctuated as time went on. Notably, the incidences of R203K/G204R in N and Q57H in Orf3a were both over 50% in some countries. Overall, our findings suggest that SARS-CoV-2 mutations could change viral protein structure, binding affinity, and hot spots of the interface, thereby might have impacts on SARS-CoV-2 transmission, diagnosis, and treatment of COVID-19.
