Relieving anxiety and depression symptoms through promoting organizational identity and mitigating family-work conflict among medical professionals in digital leadership.

Background: Digital leadership might be an innovative approach to decreasing the elevated rates of anxiety and depression symptoms among medical professionals, while also enhancing their psychological well-being. This emerging pathway may offer promising strategies to support the mental health of medical professionals. This study seeks to investigate the association among digital leadership, organizational identity, family-work conflict, and anxiety and depression symptoms, and further to uncover the underlying moderating mechanisms interplay.

Relieving Depressive Symptoms Through Chinese Relational Culture Among Older Adults with Multimorbidity: Evidence from CHARLS.

Promotion of self-directed learning abilities among Chinese medical students through preparing for career calling and enhancing teaching competencies in medical education: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Medical students face a heavy burden as they are tasked with acquiring a vast amount of medical knowledge within a limited time frame. Self-directed learning (SDL) has become crucial for efficient and ongoing learning among medical students. However, effective ways to foster SDL ability among Chinese medical students are lacking, and limited studies have identified factors that impact the SDL ability of medical students.

Association between rosacea and helicobacter pylori infection: A meta-analysis.

Background And Objectives: The potential association between rosacea and a heightened prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection has been previously suggested. However, existing studies offer inconsistent results. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to elucidate the relationship between rosacea and HP infection.

DNAJA4 suppresses epithelial-mesenchymal transition and metastasis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma via PSMD2-mediated MYH9 degradation.

Emerging evidence indicates that DNA methylation plays an important role in the initiation and progression of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). DNAJA4 is hypermethylated in NPC, while its role in regulating NPC progression remains unclear. Here, we revealed that the promoter of DNAJA4 was hypermethylated and its expression was downregulated in NPC tissues and cells.

Moderating Role of Peer Pressure and Positive Learning Environment Between Career Calling and Academic Procrastination in Chinese Medical Students During Controlled COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic sets specific circumstances that may accelerate academic procrastination behavior of medical students. Career calling is a protective factor that fights against academic procrastination and may further improve medical students' mental health and academic achievement. This study aims to determine the status of Chinese medical students' academic procrastination during controlled COVID-19 pandemic.

The Role of Self-Esteem in the Relationship Between Psychological Capital and Anxiety of Left-Behind Experience College Students During COVID-19 Pandemic: An Online Study.

Background: There is growing evidence that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a dramatic impact on public mental health. However, less attention has been paid to left-behind experience college students (LBEs). This online study aimed to investigate the relationship between psychological capital (PsyCap) and anxiety among LBEs during COVID-19 pandemic, and further analyze the mediation role of self-esteem between them.

[Systematic review and Meta-analysis of Lianhua Qingwen preparations combined with Oseltamivir in treatment of influenza].

This study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of Lianhua Qingwen preparations combined with Oseltamivir in the treatment of influenza patients. PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMbase, SinoMed, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP were searched for the randomized controlled trials(RCTs) involving the comparison between the influenza patients treated with Lianhua Qingwen preparations combined with Oseltamivir and those treated with Oseltamivir alone. Fever clearance time was taken as the primary outcome indicator.

Short-term effect of sulfur dioxide (SO) change on the risk of tuberculosis outpatient visits in 16 cities of Anhui Province, China: the first multi-city study to explore differences in occupational patients.

A growing number of biological studies suggest that exogenous sulfur dioxide (SO) at a certain concentration may promote human resistance to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, the results of most relevant studies are inconsistent, and few studies have explored the relationship between SO exposure and tuberculosis risk at provincial level. In addition, occupational exposure has long been considered to have a certain impact on the human body, so for the first time, we discussed the differences between different occupations in the study on the relationship between air pollutant exposure and tuberculosis risk, and evaluated the impact of occupational exposure.

Short-term effect of ambient air pollutant change on the risk of tuberculosis outpatient visits: a time-series study in Fuyang, China.

There is growing evidence that air pollution plays a role in TB, and most studies have been conducted in the core countries with inconsistent results. Few studies have comprehensively included the six common air pollutants, so they cannot consider whether various pollutants interact with each other. Our objectives were to investigate the association between short-term exposure to six common air pollutants and the risk of tuberculosis outpatient visits in Fuyang, China, 2015-2020.

A long non-coding RNA-based signature predicts early recurrence in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Background: Early recurrence is the main obstacle for long-term survival of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients after curative resection.

Objective: We aimed to develop a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) based signature to predict early recurrence.

Methods: Using bioinformatics analysis and quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR), we screened for lncRNA candidates that were abnormally expressed in HCC.

Gemcitabine synergizes with cisplatin to inhibit nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell proliferation and tumor growth.

In a recently published phase III clinical trial, gemcitabine (GEM) plus cisplatin (DDP) induction chemotherapy significantly improved recurrence-free survival and overall survival and became the standard of care among patients with locoregionally advanced NPC. However, the molecular mechanisms of GEM synergized with DPP in NPC cells remain elucidated. These findings prompt us to explore the effect of the combination between GEM and DDP in NPC cell lines through proliferative phenotype, immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, and western blotting assays.

Epstein-Barr virus microRNA BART10-3p promotes dedifferentiation and proliferation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma by targeting ALK7.

Non-keratinizing nasopharyngeal carcinoma, the major subtype of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, is characterized by low differentiation and a close relation to Epstein-Barr virus infection, which indicates a link between Epstein-Barr virus oncogenesis and loss of differentiation, and raises our interest in investigating the involvement of Epstein-Barr virus in nasopharyngeal carcinoma dedifferentiation. Our previous study showed abundant expression of an Epstein-Barr virus-encoded microRNA, BART10-3p, in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues, but the association between BART10-3p and nasopharyngeal carcinoma differentiation remains unknown. Here, we examined the expression and prognostic value of BART10-3p, and undertook bioinformatics analysis and functional assays to investigate the influence of BART10-3p on nasopharyngeal carcinoma differentiation and proliferation and the underpinning mechanism.

Afterwards, treatment-related information, including data pertaining to ultrasound examination, was collected.

Efficacy and Side Effects of Combined Capecitabine Plus Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy as an Effective Adjuvant Therapy for Gastric Cancers.

This study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes and the toxicities associated with intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) administered in combination with capecitabine for gastric cancer. This study was conducted between July 2009 and October 2011, and included 31 patients (23 female and eight male patients; mean age: 57 years old) with pathologically confirmed gastric cancer (pathological staging T3 or T4 or positive lymph node). All patients underwent D2 surgery and adjuvant chemoradiotherapy, followed by combined treatment with IMRT and capecitabine.

Prognostic Value of Pretreatment Serum Cystatin C Level in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Patients in the Intensity-modulated Radiotherapy Era.
