Background: The rising prevalence of multimorbidity and functional dependence in community-dwelling older adults contribute to the demand for home care services. Evidence on how chronic conditions, especially multimorbidity, affect dependence levels among older adults with functional dependence in a socio-cultural context is much needed to inform policy, workforce, aged care service development to meet the care needs of this population.
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the association between chronic conditions, multimorbidity and dependence levels among Chinese community-dwelling older adults with functional dependence.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to identify key factors for evaluating disability in older adults by analyzing scientific literature.
- - A systematic review process was used to extract data from 137 studies, linking nearly 97.7% of the identified concepts to 52 relevant aspects of the International Classification of Functioning (ICF).
- - The findings will help create a standardized set of measurement tools for disability evaluation in older adults, facilitating better data comparison and further research.
Objective: To explore the level and influencing factors of frontline nurses' post-traumatic growth (PTG) during COVID-19 epidemic.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in February 2020 in three hospitals in China. The Post-traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) was used to investigate the PTG of frontline nurses.
Objective: To expound the roles of mTOR and NF-kB signaling pathway in intermittent hypoxia (IH)-induced damage of hippocampal neurons.
Methods: For rat experiments, mTOR inhibitor (Rapamycin, Rapa) and NF-κB signaling inhibitor (ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate, PDTC) were applied to inhibit mTOR and NF-κB signaling, respectively. For neuron experiments, hippocampal neurons from rat were successfully cultured.
Recent evidence showed that microRNA-7 (miR-7) played an important role in the pathologies of lung-related diseases. However, the potential role of miR-7 in acute lung injury (ALI) still remains poorly understood. Here, we assessed the effect of miR-7 deficiency on the pathology of ALI.
