Self-regulated learning strategies adopted by successful Chinese nursing students in the process of learning Nursing English.

As the number of foreign patients and the frequency of international academic exchanges increase, English proficiency has become increasingly essential for Chinese nurses in the treatment and nursing processes, clinical academic exchanges, and ongoing education. However, the overall English proficiency of Chinese nurses is generally inadequate, greatly depending on the English that they acquire during their nursing education. This study aims to explore the challenges encountered by Chinese EFL (English as a Foreign Language) nursing students in the process of learning Nursing English, along with the effective self-regulated learning strategies they adopt to overcome these challenges.

Prevalence and influencing factors of wheeze and asthma among preschool children in Urumqi city: a cross-sectional survey.

To investigate the prevalence and indoor environmental influencing factors of wheeze and asthma among preschool children in Urumqi, Xinjiang, China to provide a strong basis for prevention and control. In August 2019, a cross-sectional study involving 8153 preschool children was conducted in 60 kindergartens in Urumqi. The ALLHOME-2 questionnaire was used for childhood wheeze and asthma survey, and the dampness in buildings and health (DBH) questionnaire was used for the childhood home dwelling and living environment survey.

Prevalence and indoor environment risk factors of otitis among preschool children in Urumqi, China.

Objective: To investigate the indoor environmental risk factors to provide measures for the prevention and control of otitis in preschool children.

Method: In this cross-sectional study, a questionnaire survey was administered to preschool children aged 2-7 years from 60 kindergartens in six districts of Urumqi City in August 2019. Multiple regression was run to predict influence factors for otitis media in preschool children.

Quercetin Inhibits Tumorigenesis of Colorectal Cancer Through Downregulation of hsa_circ_0006990.

Quercetin can significantly inhibit the progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, its specific mechanism remains largely unclear. In this study, we aimed to explore the correlation among quercetin, tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) in the progression of CRC and to present a novel strategy for the treatment of CRC.

Can integrated care improve the efficiency of hospitals? Research based on 200 Hospitals in China.

Background: The shift towards integrated care (IC) represents a global trend towards more comprehensive and coordinated systems of care, particularly for vulnerable populations, such as the elderly. When health systems face fiscal constraints, integrated care has been advanced as a potential solution by simultaneously improving health service effectiveness and efficiency. This paper addresses the latter.

The trend in primary health care preference in China: a cohort study of 12,508 residents from 2012 to 2018.

Background: Residents' preference for primary health care (PHC) determined their utilization of PHC. This study aimed to assess the determinants of PHC service preference among the residents and the trend in PHC service preference over time in China.

Methods: We employed the nationally representative longitudinal data from 2012 to 2018 based on the China Family Panel Studies.

What Are the Determinants of the Decision to Purchase Private Health Insurance in China?

The objective of this study was to assess the determinants of the decision to purchase private health insurance (PHI) in China. Nationally representative data from the fourth wave of the China Household Finance Survey from 2017 were used, and the dataset comprised 105,691 individuals aged 18 years or older. The Andersen health services utilization model was used to inform the research.

High-intensity focused ultrasound inhibits invasion and metastasis of colon cancer cells by enhancing microRNA-124-mediated suppression of STAT3.

Metastasis is the primary contributor to colorectal cancer mortality. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is an emerging technology for tumor therapy that exerts its effects through tumor ablation, mechanical disruption, and enhancement of immune responses. However, it remains unclear whether HIFU can influence tumor metastasis.

Chang-wei-qing, a Chinese herbal formula, ameliorates colitis-associated tumour development via inhibiting NF-κB and STAT3 signalling pathway.

Context: Chang-wei-qing (CWQ) is a Chinese herbal recipe with clinical efficacy. However, the molecular mechanism underlying its recognized therapeutic benefits against colorectal cancer is still elusive.

Objective: To investigate the potential beneficial effects of CWQ in drug-induced colitis-associated cancer (CAC) model and its mechanistic involvements in this disease.

Intestinal dysbacteriosis activates tumor-associated macrophages to promote epithelial-mesenchymal transition of colorectal cancer.

In this study we investigated the association between intestinal dysbacteriosis with colorectal cancer progress and the underlying molecular mechanisms. Tumor progression was evaluated using xenograft mice model. The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers were quantified by both real-time PCR and immunoblotting.
