Prediction model of malnutrition in hospitalized patients with acute stroke.

Objective: The prognosis of stroke patients is greatly threatened by malnutrition. However, there is no model to predict the risk of malnutrition in hospitalized stroke patients. This study developed a predictive model for identifying high-risk malnutrition in stroke patients.

Assistive device utilization among disabled elderly in China: A cross-sectional study.

Objective: This study aimed to examine the characteristics of assistive device users and influencing factors among disabled elderly in China.

Methods: A total of 13,510 disabled elderly in Sichuan Province were surveyed. Disability was assessed using the Barthel Activities of Daily Living Scale, mental status, sensory perception, and social engagement evaluation.

Combination effects of baicalin with linezolid against Staphylococcus aureus biofilm-related infections: in vivo animal model.

Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive bacterium that can produce biofilm, and biofilm-associated infections are difficult to control. Biofilm prevents antibiotics from penetrating and killing the bacteria. Combined use of antimicrobials is a common strategy to treat S.

Path Analysis of Self-Efficacy, Coping Style and Resilience on Depression in Patients with Recurrent Schizophrenia.

Purpose: Based on the two mediating variables of self-efficacy and coping style, a multiple mediating model was constructed to explore the mechanism by which psychological resilience affects depression in patients with recurrent schizophrenia.

Methods: A total of 210 patients with recurrent schizophrenia who were hospitalized in a tertiary hospital in Hunan Province, China, were enrolled. The Connor Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), General Self-Efficacy Energy Scale (GSES) and Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ) were used to evaluate resilience, self-efficacy, coping style and depression.

Assessment of mental health status among Chinese nursing staff in the intensive care unit: a network analysis.

Backgrounds: Nursing is the key group to provide healthcare services, and it is easy for nursing staff to develop mental health problems.

Aims: The study aimed to evaluate prevalence of psychological symptoms in nurses working in an intensive care unit (ICU) and the inter-relationship of associations of psychological symptoms using network analysis.

Methods: This study is a cross-sectional design study.

Psychological symptoms and correlates of Chinese healthcare professionals in the intensive care unit before and after the COVID-19 outbreak: A comparison of two cross-sectional studies.

Background: The outbreak of COVID-19 disarranged lives across mainland China. No study has examined changes in psychological symptoms of healthcare professionals in the intensive care unit (ICU) before and after the outbreak of COVID-19. The aim of this study was to estimate changes in psychological symptoms of ICU healthcare professionals before and after the COVID-19 outbreak, and to analyze factors related to psychological symptoms.

Survey on Mental Health Status and Quality of Life and Correlation among Patients with Permanent Stoma of Colorectal Tumor.

Background: Colorectal cancer is one of the malignant tumors of the digestive system relatively hidden onset with unobvious early clinical symptoms. Most patients have developed into middle and late stages when they were diagnosed, missing the best period of operation. Advanced colorectal cancer has strong diffusion and metastasis with short survival time, which seriously threatens the life safety of patients.

Nano-Silver Medical Antibacterial Dressing Combined with High-Flow Oxygen Therapy Facilitates Ulcer Wound Healing of Superficial Malignant Tumors.

Background: Due to the poor healing of superficial malignant tumor ulcer wounds, patients suffer great pain and significantly reduced quality of life. Related research shows that oxygen therapy can reduce wound bleeding and promote wound healing.

Objective: This study aims to explore the therapeutic effect of nano-silver antibacterial dressing combined with high-flow oxygen therapy on surface malignant tumor ulcers.

Human urinary kallidinogenase combined with edaravone in treating acute ischemic stroke patients: A meta-analysis.

Introduction: Several studies have investigated the efficacy of human urinary kallidinogenase (HUK) combined with edaravone (Eda) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. Our aim was to provide the best available evidence for clinical practice and further research programs for stroke treatment.

Methods: We searched the online database for paper published between January 2015 and April 2021.

Ipomoea staphylina Attenuates Potassium Dichromate-Induced Nephrotoxicity in Wistar Rats via Antioxidant and Antiapoptotic Effects.

Occupational and environmental exposure to chromium compounds leads to nephrotoxicity to humans and animals due to the overproduction of ROS. Our study was aimed to demonstrate the shielding effect of hydroethanolic extract of Ipomoea staphylina (HEIS) bark on male Wistar rats challenged with potassium dichromate (KCrO). Division of animals was done in 4 groups' viz.

Antibacterial synergy between linezolid and baicalein against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus biofilm in vivo.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) can form biofilms, which prevents the penetration of antibiotics, decreasing their efficacy. This study investigated whether baicalein has synergistic antibacterial effects with linezolid in vivo. We cultivated MRSA 17546 biofilms on silicone implants and inserted them into the air pouches of rat models.

Generation of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Biofilm Infection in an Immunosuppressed Rat Model.

BACKGROUND Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a common pathogen responsible for many related infections, and immunosuppressed individuals are more susceptible. Its pathogenicity is associated with its virulence factors, resistance to antibiotics, and ability to form biofilm (BF). MRSA-BF infections in immunosuppressed patients pose great difficulties to clinical treatment.

Antineoplastic effect of calycosin on osteosarcoma through inducing apoptosis showing in vitro and in vivo investigations.

Recently, increasing studies have documented that tumorigenesis closely relates to apoptotic processes. Thus, inducing apoptosis is an anti-cancer strategy against osteosarcoma. Here we investigated the anti-proliferative effect of calycosin on human osteosarcoma cell (143B) in vitro.
