Pyroptosis Drives the Impairment of Colonic Barrier Integrity During Toxoplasma Gondii Chronic Infection.

Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) impairs gut barrier integrity in hosts, which helps the establishment of long-term infection and is closely associated with disease progression. However, the precise mechanisms remain largely unclear.

Postoperative rehabilitation training adherence and influencing factors in adults with traumatic fractures in China: a cross-sectional study.

Objective: To explore rehabilitation training adherence as well as its related influencing factors among adult patients with traumatic limb fractures to provide a basis for clinical intervention strategies.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Setting: Department of Rehabilitation Medicine.

Analgesic effect of premixed nitrous oxide/oxygen on removal of vacuum assisted closure dressings: randomized controlled trial study protocol.

Background: Vacuum assisted closure (VAC) is an effective treatment that promotes wound healing in clinical practice. However, the pain caused by Vacuum assisted closure VAC dressing removal is still a challenge for patients and medical staff. The purpose of this study was to investigate the analgesic effect and safety of premixed nitrous oxide/oxygen in the treatment of pain caused by VAC dressing removal.

Nitrous oxide analgesia for rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Although there is increasing emphasis on rehabilitation training after ligament reconstruction, little is known about the pain induced by the procedure itself. Procedural success may be limited by pain and anxiety. Nitrous oxide is widely used to alleviate procedural pain.

Nitrous Oxide to Reduce Wound Care-Related Pain in Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

As an essential procedure, wound care comes with acute pain, which is short but high in intensity, causing patients to fear and affecting subsequent treatment. Nitrous oxide (NO) is used to relieve pain related to wound care; however, evidence regarding its application is conflicting. Thus, this systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the efficacy of NO in wound care-related pain.

Perspectives and Practice in Eastern and Western Medicine for Pain Management in Rehabilitation Training after Orthopedic Trauma Surgery: A Qualitative Study.

Background: Despite the increasing emphasis on rehabilitation training after orthopedic surgery, little is known about the pain caused by the procedure itself. Clinical practice is driven by beliefs in pain management.

Aims: This study aimed to explore the perspective of pain management during rehabilitation training after orthopedic trauma in China and its influencing factors from different perspectives in traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, respectively.

Analgesic effect of nitrous oxide during manual therapy after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Many patients during manual therapy after anterior ligament reconstruction will experience severe pain, which has a negative impact on their rehabilitation. However, there is rarely an analgesic method for these patients during rehabilitation. Nitrous oxide with rapid analgesic and sedative effects is often used to relieve pain in minor procedures.

Experiences of Chinese advanced cancer patients after attending a "four-stage" death education programme: A qualitative study.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the experiences of cancer patients who participated in and completed a "four-stage" death education programme based on knowledge-attitude-practice theory.

Methods: This study employed a qualitative descriptive design. Semistructured interviews with an interview guide were used to collect data.

Construction of a competency framework of dental hygienists: A Delphi study.

Aim: To explore the basic and core competencies of dental hygienists, construct a systematic and scientific competency framework for dental hygienists taking into account China's national conditions and provide a theoretical basis for the future training in China and other countries that have not yet established the competencies of dental hygienists.

Background: The establishment of dental hygienists role is essential for the public to improve the dental health level. Currently, more than 50 countries around the world have established the role of dental hygienists and defined the core competencies needed by dental hygienists.

Efficacy of nitrous oxide in adults undergoing puncture biopsy: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: Nitrous oxide (N2O) with rapid analgesic effect is often used to relieve pain induced by diagnostic procedures. This review was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of N2O in patients undergoing puncture biopsy.

Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scopus and the ClinicalTrials.

Analgesic efficacy of nitrous oxide in adults in the emergency department: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: Nitrous oxide (NO) has a rapidly analgesic effect, but evidence regarding its role in managing pain in adults in the emergency department (ED) is conflicting. The purpose of this meta-analysis is to investigate the analgesic efficacy and safety of NO in adults in ED.

Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of science, China National Knowledge Infrastrusture (CNKI) and Wanfang Database up to August 10th, 2021.
