RESUMEN
The overall aim of this study is to explore the views of mental health nurses (MHNs) about the sexual safety of consumers receiving care in acute inpatient units. In Australia, people accessing mental health inpatient units have reported feeling unsafe while receiving care including experiences of sexual harassment and abuse from other patients. There has been no study to date that has explored the views of the MHNs providing care. An explorative descriptive qualitative study. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews involving n = 8 MHNs working on a metropolitan acute inpatient unit recruited using purposive convenience sampling. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. The findings of this study highlighted the themes of 'It's everyone's job to keep the patient safe', 'Going over expectations', 'Impact on patients' and 'Built environment'. Participants in this study believed that the sexual safety of patients in the inpatient unit is everyone's responsibility and that it was important during the admission process to ensure patients are aware of how to both seek help if needed and ensure that their actions or behaviours do not pose sexual safety concerns in others. Ensuring sexual safety in the mental health inpatient units is a complex issue that requires evidence-based multipronged interventions involving all key stakeholders within the units.
RESUMEN
The aim of this study is to explore the views and understanding of youth mental health clinicians with regard to the physical health of young people with early psychosis and their perspectives on lifestyle interventions improving the health and well-being of young people with early psychosis. Physical health disparities leading to premature mortality among people with mental illness are well evident in the literature. Mental health and physical health are directly correlated. The risk of poor physical health often begins before the onset of mental ill health. Young people with early psychosis are highly susceptible to poor physical health. A co-designed integrated approach focusing on early prevention and intervention in overall well-being and health is imminent for this targeted population to prevent poor physical health trajectory across the lifespan. Ten clinicians were recruited and participated in this study through semi-structured interviews. Five themes were identified: (i) Impact of early psychosis, (ii) Focus of care, (iii) Conversations around physical health, (iv) Co-location of specialist roles and (v) Health literacy. The findings of this study confirm the dimensional impact of early psychosis on the well-being and health of young people through the vicious cycle of early psychosis. Promotion of health literacy along with social connectedness and elements of self-determination, as well as having a prime focus on the individuals' experience in the journey of health promotion through participation in lifestyle interventions, has been identified as critically prominent.
RESUMEN
People with mental illness experience a shorter life expectancy compared to the general population. Poor physical health trajectory emerges following the onset of psychosis and is further compounded by the initiation of antipsychotic treatment. Young people are particularly at risk as the onset of mental illness mostly occurs between the age of 12 and 25 years. This represents a crucial period for early intervention to prevent a physical ill health trajectory. Furthermore, those who are at ultra-high risk for psychosis should also be targeted for early intervention. Lifestyle interventions have been identified as the first-line physical health promotion practice for improving the physical health of people with severe mental illness. The aim of this study was to conduct a scoping review following the JBI methodological guidance on scoping reviews to explore the current literature on lifestyle intervention trialled for early psychosis, including first-episode psychosis and those who are at ultra-high risk for psychosis. This review also explores the extent of literature examining physical health literacy in this specific population. The literature search was conducted on Medline, Embase, PsycINFO and Scopus. Twenty-two studies were included for the purpose of this scoping review, 21 of which examined the effects of lifestyle interventions and one of which reported on physical health literacy. This scoping review indicates the need for co-designed lifestyle interventions with the involvement of service users, families and carers and a focus on promoting physical health literacy, social support, and an incorporation of a health behaviour change model focus on promoting autonomous motivation. The findings of this study can inform future development of a novel co-designed lifestyle intervention for the targeted population.

OBJECTIVE: To study the chemical constituents of the leaves of Polygonum multiflorum. METHODS: The chemical constituents were extracted with water and separated by manifold chromatography technique, and their structures were determined by spectral analysis. RESULTS: Eleven compounds were isolated and identified as physcion (I), emodin (II), noreugenin (III), apigenin (IV), hyperoside (V), rutin (VI), vitexin (VII), 2,3,5 ,4'-tetrahydroxy-stibene-2-O-beta-D-glucoside (VIII), beta-amyrin (IX), beta-sitosterol (X), daucosterol( XI). CONCLUSION: Among these compounds, I - IV, VI - XI are isolated from the leaves of Polygonum multiflorum for the first time.

OBJECTIVE: To study on the chemical constituents from rattan of Polygonum multiflorum. METHODS: The chemical constituents were extracted with alcohol and were separated with manifold chromatography technique. Their structures were determined by spectral analysis. RESULTS: Thirteen compounds were isolated and identified as Chrysophanol(I), Physcion(II), Emodin(III), Aloeemodin(IV), Rhein(V), Physcion-8-O-beta-D-glucoside(VI), Emodin-8-O-beta-D-glucoside (VII),2,3,5,4'-Tetrahydroxy-stibene-2-O-beta-D-glucoside(VIII), Noreugenin(IX), Apigenin(X), Daucosterol(XI), beta-Sitosterol(XII), Stearic acid(XIII). CONCLUSION: Among these, compounds I, IV-VI, VIII-XI, XIII are isolated from rattan of Polygonum multiflorum for the first time.
