The impact of a student death doula service-learning experience in palliative care settings on nursing students: A pilot mixed-methods study.

Through a mixed-methods approach (randomized controlled trial and thematic analysis of pre and post-service-learning reflections), this study evaluated the impact of a student death doula service-learning experience on nursing students' palliative competencies and learning experiences. The intervention group underwent a 2-day student death doula training workshop followed by a 6-month service-learning experience, while the control group received standard palliative care education. Attitudes toward the care of the dying significantly improved for the intervention group but not for compassion competence and palliative care knowledge.

One-stop hybrid operation versus microsurgery for treating brain arteriovenous malformation in children-a retrospective case series.

Background: Brain arteriovenous malformation (BAVM) is one of the most common causes of cerebral hemorrhage in children. The effectiveness of one-stop hybrid operation in the treatment of BAVM in adults has been widely confirmed, but there are few study for the case in children. The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze of the role and significance of one-stop hybrid surgery versus microsurgery in the treatment of BAVM in children.

MEN1 deficiency stabilizes PD-L1 and promotes tumor immune evasion of lung cancer.

Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia 1 gene (MEN1), which is known to be a tumor suppressor gene in lung tissues, encodes a 610 amino acid protein menin. Previous research has proven that MEN1 deficiency promotes the malignant progression of lung cancer. However, the biological role of this gene in the immune microenvironment of lung cancer remains unclear.

FTIR spectroscopy for assessment of hair from lung cancer patients and its application in monitoring the chemotherapy treatment effect.

Lung cancer is the most common cancer and the leading cause of death in China. The current gold standard for clinical lung cancer diagnosis is based on histopathological examination of tumors, but it has the limitation for easy operation and convenient applications. Therefore, researchers are still striving to develop other tools and methods for non-invasive and rapid assessment of the health conditions of lung cancer patients.

Increased monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells in type 2 diabetes correlate with hyperglycemic and was a risk factor of infection and tumor occurrence.

To investigate the frequency of monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (M-MDSCs) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients and explore the potential associations between M-MDSCs, glycemic control, and the occurrence of infections and tumor. 102 healthy and 77 T2DM individuals were enrolled. We assessed the M-MDSCs frequency, levels of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and other relevant indicators.

CD14CD10CD45HLA-DRSSC neutrophils may be granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cell-like cells and relate to disease progression in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients.

We explored the frequency of CD14CD10CD45HLA-DRSSC neutrophils (CD10 neutrophils) in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), and their immunologic characteristics and clinical significance. Patients with NHL who were newly diagnosed (NDP; n = 33), in remission (RMP; n = 28) and relapsed (RLP; n = 29) were included, and 47 volunteers were recruited as healthy controls (HCs). The frequency of CD10 neutrophils in the peripheral blood from HC and patients with NHL was detected.

The roles and mechanisms of TGFB1 in acute myeloid leukemia chemoresistance.

Relapsed or Refractory (R/R) Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) patients usually have very poor prognoses, and drug-resistance is one of the major limiting factors. In this study, we aimed to explore the functions of Transforming Growth Factor-β1 (TGFB1) in AML drug-resistance. First, TGFB1 levels in serum and bone marrow are higher in R/R patients compared with newly diagnosed patients, this phenomenon could be due to different sources of secreted TGFB1 according to immunohistochemistry of marrow biopsies.

Development of a supportive care needs eHealth application for patients with cervical cancer undergoing surgery: a feasibility study.

Purpose: To inform the development of an eHealth application for patients with cervical cancer for monitoring supportive care needs, perceived care supply and quality of life.

Methods: A mixed-method design was used. The 19-month process involved five phases: (1) a literature review to screen the components of applications, (2) a cross-sectional needs assessment for patients with cervical cancer to define the needs and application program frame, (3) expert consultation to refine the draft, (4) software development, and (5) pilot testing and user comment collection.

Relationships of person-related, problem-related, and environment-related factors to self-care behaviours and the mediating role of self-confidence among patients with heart failure: Cross-sectional analysis of structural equation modelling.

Background: Promoting self-care behaviours in heart failure management is an important goal and challenge for healthcare systems worldwide.

Method: A cross-sectional survey was employed to collect data using the Nurses' Perceived Professional Benefits Questionnaire (NPPBQ), Sense of coherence scale (SOC-13), and Brief Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced (Brief COPE).

IgG4-related Lung Disease: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by the infiltration of a large number of IgG4+ plasma cells, neoplastic lesions in the affected tissues, and a sharp increase in the concentration of serum IgG4. IgG4-RD is a rare and novel disease involving multiple organs with various clinical manifestations. Understanding and studying the pulmonary manifestations of IgG4-RD is critical for improving diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis.

Patterns of smartphone usage associated with depressive symptoms in nursing students.

Introduction: Rather than focusing on the activities that the smartphone has been used for, the existing literature frequently focuses on the association between problematic use of smartphone independent of the content of use (self-reported) and depressive symptoms in youth. This study aims to explore patterns of smartphone usage and the association with depressive symptoms in nursing students.

Methods: This cross-sectional study of nursing freshmen ( = 1, 716) was conducted between October and November 2018.
