[Application and Effect of Patient Portal System in the Remote Management of Chronic Diseases for Older Adults With Coronary Heart Disease].

Objective: To investigate the application of personal health record (PHR) and chronic disease management platform established on the basis of patient portal system (PPS) in managing older adults with coronary heart disease and to examine the effect on patients' self-care ability, coping mode, and quality of life.

Methods: A total of 532 elderly patients with coronary heart disease were included in the study. All the participants enrolled were admitted to a tertiary-care hospital between January 2019 and June 2021.

Role of T-box genes in cancer, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and cancer stem cells.

Sharing a common DNA binding motif called T-box, transcription factor T-box gene family controls embryonic development and is also involved in cancer progression and metastasis. Cancer metastasis shows therapy resistance and involves complex processes. Among them, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) triggers cancer cell invasiveness and the acquisition of stemness of cancer cells, called cancer stem cells (CSCs).

Analysis of the pathogenic bacteria, drug resistance, and risk factors of postoperative infection in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

Background: To analyze the pathogenic bacteria, drug resistance, and risk factors of postoperative infection in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods: A total of 119 patients with NSCLC who were admitted to our hospital from January 2017 to March 2020 were selected. The patients' clinical data were collected to evaluate the postoperative infection.
