The Impact of Health Education Based on the Pender Health Promotion Model on Patients with Deep Vein Thrombosis of the Lower Limbs Treated with Rivaroxaban.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of Pender-based health education on outcomes in rivaroxaban-treated lower limb DVT patients.

Methods: 103 patients with DVT of the lower limbs treated with rivaroxaban admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from January 2022 to January 2023 were included in the study and were randomly divided into the conventional group (n=52, receiving routine care with medication instruction, exercise instruction, and psychological care as the main components) and the Pender group (n=51, giving health education based on the Pender health promotion model in addition to conventional care) to compare the recurrence rate of DVT of the lower limbs, DVT of the lower limbs clinical condition, complication rate, quality of life score, coagulation index and nursing satisfaction rate in the two groups.

Primary Results: The recurrence rate of lower limb DVT, circumference of the affected limb, time to get out of bed, and time to reduce swelling in the Pender group were lower (shorter) than those in the conventional group (P < .

Hybrid endovenous laser ablation reduces the recurrence of varicose veins below the knee compared with radiofrequency ablation: a real-world study.

Activation of AMPK by simvastatin inhibited breast tumor angiogenesis via impeding HIF-1α-induced pro-angiogenic factor.

Substantial data from preclinical studies have revealed the biphasic effects of statins on cardiovascular angiogenesis. Although some have reported the anti-angiogenic potential of statins in malignant tumors, the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. The aim of this study is to elucidate the mechanism by which simvastatin, a member of the statin family, inhibits tumor angiogenesis.

The ambipolar evolution of a high-performance WSe transistor assisted by a ferroelectric polymer.

In recent years, the electrical characteristics of WSe field-effect transistors (FETs) have been widely investigated with various dielectrics. Among them, being able to perfectly tune the polarity of WSe is meaningful and promising work. In this work, we systematically study the electrical properties of bilayer WSe FETs modulated by ferroelectric polymer poly(vinylidenefluoride-co-trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)).

A ferroelectric relaxor polymer-enhanced p-type WSe transistor.

WSe has attracted extensive attention for p-FETs due to its air stability and high mobility. However, the Fermi level of WSe is close to the middle of the band gap, which will induce a high contact resistance with metals and thus limit the field effect mobility. In this case, a high work voltage is always required to achieve a large ON/OFF ratio.

Interfacial memristors in Al-LaNiO heterostructures.

Memristive devices are promising circuit elements that enable novel computational approaches which go beyond the von-Neumann paradigms. Here by tuning the chemistry at the Al-LaNiO (LNO) interface, a metal-metal junction, we engineer good switching behavior with good electroresistance (ON-OFF resistance ratios of 100), and repeatable multiple resistance states. The active material responsible for such a behavior is a self-formed sandwich of an AlO layer at the interface obtained by grabbing oxygen by Al from LNO.

Ferroelectric switching of elastin.

Ferroelectricity has long been speculated to have important biological functions, although its very existence in biology has never been firmly established. Here, we present compelling evidence that elastin, the key ECM protein found in connective tissues, is ferroelectric, and we elucidate the molecular mechanism of its switching. Nanoscale piezoresponse force microscopy and macroscopic pyroelectric measurements both show that elastin retains ferroelectricity at 473 K, with polarization on the order of 1 μC/cm(2), whereas coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations predict similar polarization with a Curie temperature of 580 K, which is higher than most synthetic molecular ferroelectrics.
