Background: Lung cancer brain metastases (LC-BrMs) are frequently associated with dismal mortality rates in patients with lung cancer; however, standard of care therapies for LC-BrMs are still limited in their efficacy. A deep understanding of molecular mechanisms and tumor microenvironment of LC-BrMs will provide us with new insights into developing novel therapeutics for treating patients with LC-BrMs.
Methods: Here, we performed integrated analyses of genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, and single-cell RNA sequencing data which were derived from a total number of 154 patients with paired and unpaired primary lung cancer and LC-BrM, spanning four published and two newly generated patient cohorts on both bulk and single cell levels.
Background: Psychological capital can effectively alleviate job burnout and improve career autonomy and job satisfaction. However, there is a lack of research on the mediating role of psychological capital between job burnout and preseneeism in Chinese anesthesia nurses.
Aims: The mediating role of psychological capital between job burnout and presenteeism based on constructing structural equation models in anesthesia nurses.

The study period was from April 2019 to October 2020: first, 14 PLHIV were interviewed to build an item pool; 15 experts were invited to evaluate the scale items. The test-retest reliability of the scale was carried out with 29 PLHIV.

However, in the face of MEIDs, PHEP is insufficient, so it is necessary to improve PHEP. The rapid development of virtual reality and human-computer interaction provides unprecedented opportunities for innovative educational methods.
