Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of glycaemic control and diabetes distress on frailty in older Chinese patients with diabetes, and to explore the mediating role of diabetes distress between glycaemic control and frailty.
Design: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study. A total of 209 older patients with diabetes were recruited from a teaching hospital in Zhejiang Province.
Background: In the postoperative period, patients mainly rely on caregivers, who experience their own physical and mental fatigue. Caregiver fatigue may affect patient outcomes.
Objectives: This study explored the fatigue status and influencing factors of primary caregivers of patients after liver cancer surgery.
Background: The Healthy Aging Brain Care Monitor Self-Report (HABC-M SR) is a tool to evaluate physical, mental and cognitive impairments. It has been validated in several countries for post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) assessment, but there is no Chinese version yet.
Aim: The aim of this study is to translate and cross-cultural adapt HABC-M SR, and validate its psychological properties among Chinese ICU survivors.
This study aims to compare the effectiveness of video and paper materials used for teach-back education on the first insulin injection for patients with diabetes. The study enrolled 110 patients hospitalized for diabetes who had received education on their first insulin injection in the endocrinology department. The patients were divided into an intervention group ( = 55) and a control group ( = 55) using convenience sampling.

Methods: The strategies of the Nursing Department included an early warning for prevention and control, taking functions of vertically commanding and horizontally coordinating, and reasonably allocating nursing workforce, to facilitate centralized treatment work in the in-hospital fever clinic, isolation wards and ICU, and referral and admission of critical patients. Five special groups were established in charge of training and examination, management and supervision, psychological support, logistical support, and reporting and publicity, respectively.
In this study, the Delphi method was used to develop evidence-based indicators of intensive care unit (ICU) nursing quality of care in China. Nursing quality indicators reflect elements of patient care that are directly affected by nursing practice. A comprehensive literature search identified 2,857 potentially relevant articles.

Background: China lacks nursing-sensitive quality indicators necessary for assessing the quality of emergency nursing and essential to nursing management.
Design: Prospective.
Introduction: Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has been shown to be effective in mitigating various psychosocial impacts from breast cancer. Long-term studies have yielded mixed findings on the outcome of CBT in breast cancer settings, especially with respect to quality of life (QOL) and the quantified degree of stress (QDS).
Evidence Acquisition: Medline, Cochrane, Embase, and Google Scholar databases were searched and randomized controlled trials relevant to the use of CBT and its variants in breast cancer patients were selected, and their pooled results meta-analyzed.
Cordycepin, also termed 3'-deoxyadenosine, is a nucleoside analogue from and has been reported to demonstrate numerous biological and pharmacological properties. Our previous study illustrated that the anti-tumor effect of cordycepin may be associated with apoptosis. In the present study, the apoptotic effect of cordycepin on HepG2 cells was investigated using 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, tetraethylbenzimidazolylcarbocyanine iodide and propidium iodide staining analysis and flow cytometry.

Background: The development of nursing-sensitive quality indicators has become a top priority in nursing management. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no objective, scientific and sensitive evaluation of the quality of neonatal intensive care unit nursing in China.
Background: Nursing-sensitive quality indicators comprise principles, procedures, and assessments to quantify the level of nursing quality in hospital departments. Although studies have demonstrated that quality indicators are essential for monitoring nursing practice in the operating room (OR), nursing quality in China is highly subjective and localised OR nursing-sensitive quality indicators are lacking.
Objective: This study aimed to establish scientific, objective and comprehensive nursing-sensitive quality indicators for the OR to evaluate and monitor OR nursing care quality in China.

Objective: To investigate differential diagnoses value of ultra-rapid bedside measurement of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in patients with dyspnea.
Methods: Plasma BNP concentration were measured with immunofluorescence assay in 103 patients with dyspnea. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) were determined by echocardiography and Swan-Ganz catheter in these patients on the same time, respectively.
