Effectiveness of socioecological model-guided, smart device-based, and self-management-oriented lifestyle (3SLIFE) intervention on healthy lifestyles and metabolic syndrome risk in community residents: a cluster-randomized controlled trial.

Background: Mobile health (mHealth) lifestyle interventions have showed promise in improving healthy lifestyles and reducing metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk, yet most studies adopt isolated frameworks. The 3SLIFE model-integrating the socioecological model, smart devices, and self-management strategies-provides a holistic approach to sustained behavioral change. It considers environmental influences, empowers individuals in goal-setting and engagement, and leverages smart devices for monitoring and feedback.

Effect of perioperative remote ischemic conditioning on myocardial injury in patients with unstable angina undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: protocol of a multicenter, randomized, double-blind clinical trial.

Background: Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death, with ischemic heart disease being a significant contributor. While percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) effectively reduces mortality in myocardial infarction patients, its efficacy for unstable angina (UA) patients is controversial. Complications associated with PCI further limit application in UA.

Prediction of cognitive conversion within the Alzheimer's disease continuum using deep learning.

Background: Early diagnosis and accurate prognosis of cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is important to timely assignment to optimal treatment modes. We aimed to develop a deep learning model to predict cognitive conversion to guide re-assignment decisions to more intensive therapies where needed.

Transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation for consciousness recovery in patients with prolonged disorders of consciousness (TAVREC): study protocol for a multicenter, triple-blind, randomized controlled trial in China.

Introduction: Prolonged disorders of consciousness (pDoC) are a catastrophic condition following brain injury with few therapeutic options. Transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation (taVNS), a safe, non-invasive intervention modulating thalamo-cortical connectivity and brain function, is a possible treatment option of pDoC. We developed a protocol for a randomised controlled study to evaluate the effectiveness of taVNS on consciousness recovery in patients with pDoC (TAVREC).

Effectiveness of a socioecological model-guided, smart device-based, self-management-oriented lifestyle intervention in community residents: protocol for a cluster-randomized controlled trial.

Background: Healthy lifestyles are crucial for preventing chronic diseases. Nonetheless, approximately 90% of Chinese community residents regularly engage in at least one unhealthy lifestyle. Mobile smart devices-based health interventions (mHealth) that incorporate theoretical frameworks regarding behavioral change in interaction with the environment may provide an appealing and cost-effective approach for promoting sustainable adaptations of healthier lifestyles.

Role of metabolic risk factors in the relationship between ambient fine particulate matter and depressive symptoms: Evidence from a longitudinal population study.

Background: There is growing evidence indicating a connection between fine particulate matter (PM) and depressive symptoms. Metabolic risk factors are critical determinants of depressive symptoms. However, the mediating role of these factors on the association between PM and depressive symptoms remains elusive.

Identifying potential action points for improving sleep and mental health among employees: A network analysis.

Background: Mental health issues are severe public health problems, inevitably affected by, also affecting, sleep. We used network analysis to estimate the relationship among various aspects of sleep and mental health simultaneously, and identify potential action points for improving sleep and mental health among employees.

Methods: We used data from the baseline survey of the Chinese Cohort of Working Adults that recruited 31,105 employees between October 1st and December 31st, 2021.

Association between perceived noise at work and mental health among employed adults in Southwest China.

Background: Perceived noise at work may contribute more to worsening mental health than objectively measured noise. However, evidence regarding this association is scarce. We investigated the associations of perceived noise at work with anxiety and depression and identified vulnerable subpopulations.

Background: Malaria remains a major public health burden to children under five, especially in Eastern Africa (E.A), -a region that is also witnessing the increasing occurrence of floods and extreme climate change. The present study, therefore, explored the trends in floods, as well as the association of their occurrence and duration with the malaria incidence in children < 5 years in five E.

Toward a Prognostic Model for Mortality Risk in Older People Living With HIV: A Prospective Cohort Study From Southwestern China.

Objective: The existing prognostic models for mortality risk in people living with HIV (PLWH) may not be applicable for older PLWH because the risk factors were confined to biomarkers and clinical variables. We developed and validated a nomogram for the prognosis of all-cause mortality in older PLWH based on comprehensive predictors.

Design: Prospective cohort study.

Aims And Objective: This qualitative review summarises and synthesises the available evidence on subjective experiences of clinical nurses who cared for patients with COVID-19.

Background: Nurses are first responders and play a vital role in emerging infectious disease epidemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic. In this context, they also face many difficulties and challenges related, for example to the imbalance between extensive demands and low control over work tasks.

Anti-angiogenic effect of exo-LncRNA TUG1 in myocardial infarction and modulation by remote ischemic conditioning.

The successful use of exosomes in therapy after myocardial infarction depends on an improved understanding of their role in cardiac signaling and regulation. Here, we report that exosomes circulating after myocardial infarction (MI) carry LncRNA TUG1 which downregulates angiogenesis by disablement of the HIF-1α/VEGF-α axis and that this effect can be counterbalanced by remote ischemic conditioning (RIC). Rats with MI induced through left coronary artery ligation without (MI model) and with reperfusion (ischemia/reperfusion I/R model) were randomized to RIC, or MI (I/R) or sham-operated (SO) control.

Socioeconomic Status, the Countries' Socioeconomic Development and Mental Health: Observational Evidence for Persons with Spinal Cord Injury from 22 Countries.

Evidence on social inequalities in mental health of persons with physical impairments is limited. We therefore investigate associations of individual-level socioeconomic status (SES) and the country-level socioeconomic development (SED) with mental health in persons with spinal cord injury (SCI). We analyzed data from 12,588 participants of the International SCI Community Survey from 22 countries.

Effects of enhanced recovery after surgery plus pulmonary rehabilitation on complications after video-assisted lung cancer surgery: a multicentre randomised controlled trial.

Background: Lung cancer surgery is associated with a high incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). We evaluated whether enhanced recovery after surgery plus pulmonary rehabilitation was superior over enhanced recovery after surgery alone in reducing the incidence of postoperative PPCs and length of hospital stay.

Methods: In this pragmatic multicentre, randomised controlled, parallel-group clinical trial, eligible patients scheduled for video-assisted lung cancer surgery were randomly assigned (1:1) to either a newly developed programme that integrated preoperative and postoperative pulmonary rehabilitation components into a generic thoracic enhanced recovery after surgery pathway, or routine thoracic enhanced recovery after surgery.
