While auricular acupressure has shown promise in symptom management, its effects within a caring framework remain underexplored. This study aims to examine the effects of Swanson theory-based auricular acupressure on CIPN and broader health-related outcomes (e.

Perception of fall risk in hospitalized patients and associated factors: A cross-sectional study and path analysis.

Background And Purposes: Evidence regarding patients' perception of fall risk is scarce.

Methods: Participants were recruited from three wards of two tertiary general hospitals in China.

SETDB1 recruits CBX3 to regulate the SIRT4/PTEN axis, inhibiting autophagy and promoting ischemia-reperfusion-induced kidney injury.

Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a significant factor in the development of acute kidney injury (AKI), particularly in clinical scenarios, such as kidney transplantation, cardiac surgery, and severe hypotension. Autophagy, a critical process that eliminates damaged cellular components, has been shown to mitigate I/R injury by reducing oxidative stress and enhancing cell survival. However, when autophagy is disrupted, it can exacerbate kidney damage.

Timing of adverse childhood experiences and depressive, anxiety, comorbid symptoms among Chinese female nurses: A life course perspective.

Background: Nurses demonstrate a greater vulnerability to developing depressive and anxiety symptoms compared to the general population. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are known risk factors for mental health issues, but impact of timing of these experiences remains unclear.

Objective: To investigate associations between timing of ACEs and depressive, anxiety, comorbid symptoms.

Development and initial validation of the group exercise motivation scale and associated factors in an Asian population.

Nutrient-heavy metal interaction and mixed heavy metal exposure in relation to cognition across lifespan: review evidence, potential mechanisms, and implications.

Increasing research has shown that heavy metal as a neurotoxicant affects cognitive function across the lifespan. Nutritional status may modify susceptibility to heavy metal exposures, which further impacts cognition. We conducted a comprehensive search for cross-sectional studies, longitudinal studies, case-control studies and clinical trials on the interaction between nutrient and heavy metal, as well as mixed heavy metal exposure, in relation to cognition across the lifespan.

Background: Nurses' disaster literacy is important for future preparation. However, there is a paucity of research in this field.

m6A demethylase FTO transcriptionally activated by SP1 improves ischemia reperfusion-triggered acute kidney injury by activating Ambra1/ULK1-mediated autophagy.

Ischemia reperfusion (I/R) was considered as one of main causes of acute kidney injury (AKI). However, the exact mechanism remains unclear. Here, this study aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of the m6A demethylase fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) protein in I/R-induced AKI.

Surface molecularly imprinted polymer/covalent organic framework/silica composite material with specific recognition ability and excellent chromatographic performance.

Facing with the difficulty of specific chromatographic separation of nucleoside drugs, this study prepared a surface molecularly imprinted polymer (SMIP) modified covalent organic framework (COF) coated silica stationary phase based on the specificity of molecular imprinting technology and the powerful chromatographic separation performance of COF. This novel SMIP-COF@SiO stationary phase can not only specifically identify template molecule and structural analogs, but can also be used to separate multiple types of analytes, such as B vitamins, sulfonamides, alkylbenzenes, phenyl ketones, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and environmental endocrine disruptors, which satisfies the need for complex sample separation. Various retention mechanisms have been investigated and multiple interactions between the SMIP-COF@SiO stationary phase and the analytes are discovered.

Predicting Severity in Hypertriglyceridemia-Induced Acute Pancreatitis: The Role of Neutrophils, Calcium, and Apolipoproteins.

BACKGROUND Hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP), representing 10% of all acute pancreatitis cases, is characterized by younger onset age and more severe progression, often leading to higher ICU admission rates. This condition poses a significant challenge due to its rapid progression and the potential for severe complications, including multiple organ failure. HTG-AP is distinct from other forms of pancreatitis, such as those caused by cholelithiasis or alcohol, in terms of clinical presentation and outcomes.

The knowledge and attitude on the prevention of pressure ulcers in Chinese nurses: A cross-sectional study in 93 tertiary and secondary hospitals.

Although pressure ulcers are related to substantial health burdens, they may be preventable. Since nurses play a fundamental role in pressure ulcer prevention, their knowledge and attitude are of great importance. This study aims to investigate the current situation and associated factors of nurses' knowledge and attitude on the prevention of pressure ulcers from both tertiary and secondary hospitals.

Temperature-Dependent Spontaneous Resolution of a Tetrahedral Chiral-at-Nickel(II) Complex under Supramolecular Control.

Although stereochemical control of carbon centers is a well-established technique in modern synthetic chemistry, that of tetrahedral metal complexes with a stereogenic metal center remains difficult due to the dynamic nature of their coordination bonds. Here we report the synthesis of a tetrahedral high-spin chiral-at-nickel(II) complex composed exclusively of achiral ligands and the supramolecular control of its temperature-dependent spontaneous resolution in crystals. Under certain conditions, complex molecules with the same absolute configuration of the nickel(II) center grow into conglomerate crystals with a helically arranged structure due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding.

The experiences of intensive care nurses coping with ethical conflict: a qualitative descriptive study.

Background: The critical conditions and life risk scenarios make intensive care nurses susceptible to ethical conflict. Negative consequences were recognized at both the individual level and the professional level which highly compromised the patient care and nurses' well-being. Therefore, ethical conflict has become a major concern in nursing practice.
