Article Abstract
Aim: To systematically evaluate the available literature on the overall levels of flow at work among nurses.
Background: Nurses are the core members of the medical team, who are confronted with considerable pressure, job burnout, and a high level of intention to leave. As flow refers to the optimal experiences that are the most enjoyable in human life when engaged in an activity with full involvement, a higher level of flow at work can help reduce work pressure, alleviate burnout, promote personal growth, and further improve the quality of nursing.
Method: A search was conducted on the Cochrane, EMBASE, PsycINFO, PubMed, Scopus, WOS, CINAHL, and Chinese databases, including the China Biomedical Literature (SinoMed), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanFang, and Weipu databases, from the inception of the databases until October 2024. Two researchers independently conducted the literature screens, quality assessments, and data extraction on the basis of the inclusion and exclusion criteria and evaluated the risk of bias. A random-effects model was employed to achieve pooled estimates of work-related flow scales via Stata18.0 software.
Results: The pooled mean score of the work-related flow scale was 3.44 (95% CI, 3.28-3.60). Eleven studies reported scores for the subdimensions of absorption, work enjoyment, and intrinsic motivation, with scores of 3.38 (95% CI, 3.09-3.68), 3.12 (95% CI, 2.88-3.36), and 3.28 (95% CI, 3.00-3.56), respectively. Subgroup analysis suggested that nurses in China, nurses in general departments (internal medicine and surgery), and nurses ≤35 years of age might have experienced lower levels of flow at work. Additionally, studies with large sample sizes tended to report high levels of flow at work; studies published from 2019 to 2022 reported slightly higher levels of flow at work scores. Meta-regression further revealed that the country, mean age, and department of the participants might be the sources of heterogeneity.
Conclusion: This review is the first to synthesize published research and calculate a pooled score of flow at work among nurses. The results indicated that nurses reported a medium level of flow at work, with significant heterogeneity.
Implications For Nursing Policy: Policy makers and managers should dynamically monitor the level of nurses' flow at work and incorporate it into the reference index system to measure and promote nurses' personal career development.

Patient-centred interprofessional teleconsultation for post-viral symptom complexes in German primary care-protocol for the cluster-randomised controlled COVI-Care M-V trial.

Background: Post-viral syndromes, including long- and post-COVID, often lead to persistent symptoms such as fatigue and dyspnoea, affecting patients' daily lives and ability to work. The COVI-Care M-V trial examines whether interprofessional, patient-centred teleconsultations, initiated by general practitioners in cooperation with specialists, can help reduce symptom burden and improve care for patients.
Methods: To evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention under routine care conditions, a cluster-randomised controlled trial is being conducted.

Translocon-associated protein subunit beta (TRAPβ), also known as signal sequence receptor 2 (SSR2) serves as an auxiliary protein facilitating co-translational translocation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER); however, its role in colorectal cancer is unknown to date. The objectives of the current study are to examine if TRAPβ/SSR2 knockdown affects the cell proliferation and to elucidate mechanisms by which TRAPβ/SSR2 regulates proliferation of human colorectal cancer. We silenced TRAPβ/SSR2 transiently and stably in human colorectal cancer cell lines and analyzed cell proliferative properties.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: The high mortality rate associated with severe influenza partly results from delayed initiation of antiviral therapy and subsequent cytokine storms. Jiuwei Qianghuo Decoction combined with Zhuye Shigao Decoction (JZF) has been clinically prescribed to prevent the progression to a more severe illness in influenza treatment. However, the precise mode of action and active components have not yet been elucidated.

Background And Aims: Viral myocarditis is an inflammatory pathology of the myocardium that involves innate immune responses, especially those involving neutrophils. However, strategies targeting neutrophils to alleviate inflammation have not achieved complete success. Alpha lipoic acid (ALA), a natural organosulfur compound, has the capacity to modulate immune cell behavior.
