Breast Cancer Patients' Experiences of Coping With Financial Toxicity: A Systematic Review and Qualitative Meta-Synthesis.

Objective: Breast cancer patients often face a significant financial burden, leading to financial toxicity due to the necessity for long-term care, costly treatment, and follow-up measures. The purpose of this study is to systematically review the available qualitative evidence on how breast cancer patients cope with financial toxicity and their unmet need to promote the implementation of effective intervention strategies.

Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, PsycINFO, CINAHL, EMBASE, Scopus, CNKI, Wan Fang Data, and VIP databases were systematically searched for literature related to the study topic.

Aircraft engine nozzle guide vane surface temperature optimization.

An optimization method based on the sensitivity of global and local geometric parameters is proposed to improve the cooling efficiency of E3 engine nozzle guide vane. For 29 geometric parameters that affect the vane maximum temperature in the cooling design, the sensitivity ranking of them is firstly obtained by the DOE method. Then the most influential parameters including the diameter or location of the film cooling hole are selected as the optimization variables to decrease the maximum surface temperature of the nozzle guide vane.

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of bean thrips (Bagnall, 1913) (Thysanoptera: thripidae).

(Bagnall, 1913) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is a widely distributed pest in Asia that primarily affects the production of snap beans and cowpea. The complete mitochondrial genome of has been sequenced and annotated in this study, which is 17,209 bp long and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNAs, and 22 tRNA genes. Most of the protein-coding genes (PCGs) start with ATG except 4 using TTG.

Fuzheng Kang' ai decoction inhibits cell proliferation, migration and invasion by modulating mir-21-5p/human phosphatase and tensin homology deleted on chromosome ten in lung cancer cells.

Objective: To elucidate the potential molecular mechanism by which Fuzheng Kang'ai decoction (, FZKA) inhibits proliferation, migration, and invasion of lung cancer cells.

Methods: Varying FZKA concentrations were used to manage lung cancer cells (A549 and PC9). We employed: cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and plate clone for-mation assays to examine the cell viability; flow cytometry (FCM) to analyze the cycle arrest; transwell and wound-healing assays to assess the cell invasion and migration, respectively.

Clinical outcome of using gastric remnant or jejunum or colon conduit in surgery for esophageal carcinoma with previous gastrectomy.

Background: For esophageal carcinoma patients with early gastrectomy, individualized surgical plans-including selection of replacement conduit and operation route based on patient's new lesion and surgical history-can achieve the desired therapeutic effect and improve postoperative life quality. We investigated the outcomes at our institution.

Methods: The clinical data of 42 esophageal carcinoma patients with early gastrectomy were analyzed retrospectively.

TaqMan MGB probe fluorescence real-time quantitative PCR for rapid detection of Chinese Sacbrood virus.

Sacbrood virus (SBV) is a picorna-like virus that affects honey bees (Apis mellifera) and results in the death of the larvae. Several procedures are available to detect Chinese SBV (CSBV) in clinical samples, but not to estimate the level of CSBV infection. The aim of this study was develop an assay for rapid detection and quantification of this virus.

Berberine and itraconazole are not synergistic in vitro against Aspergillus fumigatus isolated from clinical patients.

The incidence of Aspergillus fumigatus infections has become more frequent as a consequence of widespread immunosuppression. At present, the number of available antifungal agents in the clinic is limited, and most of them, such as itraconazole (ICZ), are toxic and show resistance. Berberine (BER) is a plant alkaloid used in the clinic mainly for alimentary infections.

Evaluation of surgery in simple ovarian cysts.

Objective: To evaluate the surgery in simple ovarian cysts.

Methods: From Jan. 1994 to Dec.

Demonstration of the natural foci of tsutsugamushi disease in Nan Peng Lie Islands in China.

In recent years, the incidence of tsutsugamushi disease has increased in Nan Peng Lie Islands in China, and the disease has not been recorded in this region. The natural foci of tsutsugamushi disease were investigated in this paper. Isolation of Orientia tsutsugamushi and the study of preventive measures were also performed.
