Article Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship among kinesiophobia, self-efficacy and self-management behaviour related to physical activity (SMBPA) in Chinese patients with coronary heart disease(CHD) and the mediating role of self-efficacy between kinesiophobia and SMBPA in Chinese patients with CHD.

Design: A cross-sectional study.

Methods: From March to July 2021, 540 Chinese patients with CHD were investigated with three scales using convenient sampling method. The data were analysed with Pearson correlation, univariate analysis, multivariate linear regression and the PROCESS macro.

Results: 509 valid questionnaires were collected (effective response rate: 94.2%). Low kinesiophobia and high self-efficacy were related to high-levels of SMBPA (all p < .01). Besides, the effect of kinesiophobia on SMBPA was partially mediated by self-efficacy, and the mediation effect accounted for 35.59% of the total effect.

Background: Metastases in the lateral pelvic lymph nodes or mesenteric lymph nodes represent distinct categories of mid-low rectal cancer. This study investigated the patterns of mesenteric and lateral pelvic lymph node metastases in mid-low rectal cancer; the survival benefit of postoperative treatment was also analysed in these groups.

Methods: This retrospective multicentre study included consecutive patients with mid-low rectal cancer who underwent total mesorectal excision with lateral pelvic lymph node dissection in three Chinese institutions between 2012 and 2020.

Breast cancer (BC), characterized by its heterogeneity and diverse subtypes, necessitates personalized treatment strategies. This study presents MF3Ec-TBPP nanoparticles (NPs) as a promising approach, integrating an aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-based photosensitizer, TBPP, with the MF3Ec aptamer to enhance targeted photodynamic therapy (PDT) for Luminal A subtype BC cells. The nanoparticles also feature a 1, 2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-poly(ethylene glycol) shell and dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC), which stabilize the structure and inhibit singlet oxygen generation, effectively reducing off-target effects and protecting healthy tissues.

Background: THP (trastuzumab + paclitaxel + pertuzumab) and THPy (trastuzumab + paclitaxel + pyrotinib) are widely used as first-line regimens for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) in China. However, direct comparative data on their efficacy and safety remain scarce. This study evaluates and compares the clinical outcomes of THPy and THP in the first-line treatment of HER2-positive MBC to guide clinical decision-making.
