Resilience in cancer care : What should nurses do?

Cancer is a serious threat to human health worldwide. Attention to the quality of life (QoL) of cancer patients is increasingly recognized as an important component of and a fundamental task in cancer care. Recent studies illustrate that resilience is a key biological factor affecting cancer patients' health status and QoL.

Schwann Cells in the Tumor Microenvironment: Need More Attention.

The tumor microenvironment (TME), which is composed of various cell components and signaling molecules, plays an important role in the occurrence and progression of tumors and has become the central issue of current cancer research. In recent years, as a part of the TME, the peripheral nervous system (PNS) has attracted increasing attention. Moreover, emerging evidence shows that Schwann cells (SCs), which are the most important glial cells in the PNS, are not simply spectators in the TME.

Rehabilitative management of pelvic fractures needs to be further optimized.

We read with interest the review by Piccione et al. into the rehabilitative management of patients with pelvic fracture (PF). This review adds to our knowledge about the significance and indispensability of early multidisciplinary intervention in PF.

Cell Sources and Influencing Factors of Liver Regeneration: A Review.

Liver regeneration (LR) is a set of complicated mechanisms between cells and molecules in which the processes of initiation, maintenance, and termination of liver repair are regulated. Although LR has been studied extensively, there are still numerous challenges in gaining its full understanding. Cells for LR have a wide range of sources and the feature of plasticity, and regeneration patterns are not the same under different conditions.

BTX-A Rejuvenation: Regional Botulinum Toxin-A Injection of the Platysma in Patients with Facial Sagging.

Objective: To establish botulinum toxin-A (BTX-A) rejuvenation as an innovative technique to treat facial sagging with descent of the mid and lower face in Asian females.

Methods: Between March 2016 and March 2017, 512 female patients with facial sagging were treated with regional platysma BTX-A injection. Droplet injection into the dermis was performed.

Perineural invasion of cancer: a complex crosstalk between cells and molecules in the perineural niche.

Perineural invasion (PNI) can be found in a variety of malignant tumors. It is a sign of tumor metastasis and invasion and portends the poor prognosis of patients. The pathological description and clinical significance of PNI are clearly understood, but exploration of the underlying molecular mechanism is ongoing.

Chemical Peeling with a Modified Phenol Formula for the Treatment of Facial Freckles on Asian Skin.

Background: Chemical peeling is an efficient method for the treatment of pigment disorders. For freckles, medium-depth to deep peeling using a phenol solution is one of the most effective chemical peels, and modifications of facial skin can be observed up to 20 years after peeling. However, applying phenol to the skin may cause serious side effects.
