Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of seamless care management under FOCUS-PDCA for patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI) complicated with dysphagia and its influence on nutrition status and neurological functions.

Methods: A total of 98 patients with acute cerebral infarction complicated with dysphagia admitted to our hospital from March 2019 to December 2022 were selected and divided into two groups with equal numbers. The control group received routine nursing management.

miRNAs are non-coding RNAs that have functions to regulate gene expression and play essential roles in a variety of biological processes of cancers. In the present study, we report acts as a tumor suppressor in human oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The expressions of are down-regulated in both OSCC cell lines and patient samples compared with normal adjacent tissues.

The accumulation, chemical speciation and distribution of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were investigated in various parts of alfalfa. Moreover, the adsorption characteristics for PCB 28 by alfalfa and the influencing factors of the adsorption characteristics were studied. There were different degrees of PCB accumulation in alfalfa roots, root nodules and shoots.

A pot experiment and afield trial were conducted to study the remediation of an aged field soil contaminated with cadmium, copper and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) (7.67 +/- 0.51 mg kg(-1) Cd, 369 +/- 1 mg kg(-1) Cu in pot experiment; 8.

Phytoremediation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) contaminated soil by leguminosae (alfalfa) and gramineae (ryegrass and tall fescue) was studied in a field trial. All planted treatments had significantly higher PCBs removal efficiency compared with those of unplanted control after 270 days of in-situ phytoremediation. Alfalfa monoculture received the highest removal efficiency of soil PCBs by 59.

Sorption behaviors of PCB28 to phosphatidylcholine (PC)and triglyceride (TG) were studied. Results showed that sorption equilibrium could be achieved in 8 h for PCB28, and the sorption amount on PC was higher than that of TG when the initial PCB28 concentration is in the range of 50-250 microg x L(-1). As the initial PCB28 concentration increases, the absolute sorption amount and relative sorption amount on PC and TG enhances.

Resting cell assay and soil microcosms were set up to investigate the biodegradation capability and metabolic intermediate of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) by a rhizobial strain Sinorhizobium meliloti. Biodegradation was observed immediately after 2,4,4'-TCB was supplied as a sole source of carbon and energy in liquid cultures. After 6 days, the percent biodegradation of 2,4,4'-TCB was 77.

Microbe-assisted phytoremediation is emerging as one of the most effective means by which plants and their associated rhizosphere microbes degrade organic contaminants in soils. A pot study was conducted to examine the effects of inoculation with Rhizobium meliloti on phytoremediation by alfalfa grown for 90 days in an agricultural soil contaminated with weathered polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Planting with uninoculated alfalfa (P) and alfalfa inoculated with R.

A field experiment was conducted to study the effects of inoculation with the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus caledonium and/or Rhizobium meliloti on phytoremediation of an agricultural soil contaminated with weathered PCBs by alfalfa grown for 180 days. Planting alfalfa (P), alfalfa inoculated with G. caledonium (P + AM), alfalfa inoculated with R.
