Evaluation of the osteoarthritis disease burden in China from 1990 to 2021: based on the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021.

Objective: This study aims to understand the current status and trend of the disease burden of osteoarthritis (OA) in people over 30 years old in China from 1990 to 2021 and identify the priority population groups, to provide reference data for the prevention and treatment of OA in China.

Methods: The Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 was used to describe the incidence, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of OA in adult aged 30 years or older in China by sex and age groups, which was used to analyze the disease burden of OA from 1990 to 2021. The joinpoint regression model and age-period-cohort model were used to characterize the temporal trend.

Analysis of postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients with lung cancer undergoing thoracoscopic surgery under general anesthesia and its influencing factors: a observational study.

Objective: To investigate the current situation and influencing factors of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in lung cancer patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery under general anesthesia, providing a reference for developing targeted PONV prevention and management strategies.

Methods: Using a consecutive sampling method, 200 lung cancer patients who underwent their first thoracoscopic surgery under general anesthesia between November 18, 2021, and March 1, 2022, at a tertiary class A cancer hospital in Liaoning Province, China, were selected. The occurrence of PONV within 24 h post-operation was assessed using WHO Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting Rating Criteria.

Effectiveness of a narrative nursing intervention on reproductive concerns in women of childbearing age undergoing cervical cancer surgery: A randomized controlled trial.

Objective: This study aims to explore the intervention effects of narrative nursing on the reproductive concerns of cervical cancer patients of childbearing age undergoing surgical treatment.

Methods: Patients undergoing cervical cancer surgery with moderate to severe levels of reproductive concerns, treated between January and December 2023 at a tertiary Grade-A oncology hospital in China, were selected as the research subjects. Patients were randomized into an intervention group and a control group, each consisting of 33 patients.

The experiences of reproductive concerns in cancer survivors: A systematic review and meta-synthesis of qualitative studies.

Aim: The aim of this study was to synthesize qualitative research evidence on cancer survivors' experiences with reproductive concerns (RC).

Methods: We conducted a systematic search of qualitative studies and utilized the meta-aggregation approach. The database searches were extended up to May 14, 2023, encompassing 12 databases, specifically MEDLINE, CINAHL, PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science (Core Collection), AMED, PsycINFO, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wan Fang Data, and VIP.

Construction and validation of the perioral moisture-related skin damage (PMASD) risk prediction model in patients with colorectal cancer.

This study aims to analyse the risk factors of Peristomal Moisture-Associated Skin Damage (PMASD) in colorectal cancer patients, construct a prediction model, and verify its effect. A total of 375 patients who underwent rectal cancer stoma surgery at the Liaoning Cancer Hospital between January and December 2020 were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The clinical data were retrospectively analysed for modelling and internal validation (modelling group).

m6A-Related Genes Contribute to Poor Prognosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common and lethal digestive system cancers worldwide. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification plays an essential role in diverse critical biological processes and may participate in the development and progression of HCC.

Methods: We downloaded transcriptome data and clinical data from TCGA as the training set.

The relationship between anticipatory grief and illness uncertainty among Chinese family caregivers of patients with advanced lung cancer: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Anticipatory grief has been shown to be highly prevalent among family caregivers of patients with advanced illness. Qualitative study suggests that illness uncertainty may be one of the core characteristics of anticipatory grief, but it has not been confirmed in quantitative studies. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between anticipatory grief and illness uncertainty among Chinese family caregivers of patients with advanced lung cancer and to determine the factors influencing anticipatory grief.

The Effect of Nutrition Intervention With Oral Nutritional Supplements on Ovarian Cancer Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy.

Ovarian cancer is the third most common gynecological malignancy in the world and it is under a higher incidence of malnutrition. Chemotherapy is currently a common treatment for ovarian cancer, but the resulting side effects can exacerbate malnutrition. Our aim was to investigate the beneficial effects of oral nutrition supplements (ONS) on ovarian cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Comparative Efficacy of 6 Topical Pharmacological Agents for Preventive Interventions of Postoperative Sore Throat After Tracheal Intubation: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-analysis.

Background: Topical pharmacological agents typically used to treat postoperative sore throat (POST) after tracheal intubation include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, lidocaine, Glycyrrhiza (licorice), and N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists (including ketamine and magnesium). However, the optimal prophylactic drug remains elusive.

Methods: The literature published before September 8, 2019 was searched on the PubMed, the Embase, the Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library.
