Purpose: This study was carried out to evaluate the value of comfort nursing in light curing resin-treated dental caries by means of patient satisfaction survey.
Methods: One hundred and twenty-eight cariogenic patients, who were treated from January 2017 to December 2017 in Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital, were enrolled and randomly assigned as experimental group and control group, respectively(n=64). Cariogenic lesions were treated with light-cured resin, patients in the control group received conventional four-handed operation nursing, while patients in the experimental group received modified comfortable nursing throughout the entire treatment course.
Genome-wide association studies have identified more than 90 susceptibility loci for breast cancer. However, the missing heritability is evident, and the contributions of coding variants to breast cancer susceptibility have not yet been systematically evaluated. Here, we present a large-scale whole-exome association study for breast cancer consisting of 24,162 individuals (10,055 cases and 14,107 controls).

Article Synopsis
- The study examined asthma prevalence and risk factors in children aged 0-14 years in Fuzhou, China, highlighting an increase from 1.57% in 1990 to 3.28% in 2000, and further to 1.83% in 2010.
- A total of 12,235 parents were surveyed, with 648 reporting asthma symptoms; however, only 485 children were confirmed to have asthma, indicating a disparity in reported versus diagnosed cases.
- Significant risk factors for asthma included having atopic diseases, family history of allergies, antibiotic use in the first year, and early protein feeding, while natural home ventilation was associated with lower asthma risk.
