Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV), a major challenge for the swine industry, can be transmitted both vertically and horizontally. Common sample types, including processing fluid, serum, and family oral fluid, can neither determine whether PRRSV infection originates vertically or horizontally nor directly reflects the sow's PRRSV status. At around 90 days post live-virus inoculation (LVI), 555 sows were sampled by Tonsil-oral-scrubbing (TOSc) 2 weeks pre-farrowing and tested for PRRSV RNA.

Background: Given the lack of valid and reliable instruments for evaluating the quality of communication between physicians and cancer patients and their family caregivers in China, this study translated and culturally adapted the Quality of Communication questionnaires for cancer patients (QOC-P) and their family caregivers (QOC-F) for use in the Chinese context and evaluated their psychometric properties.

Methods: The QOC-P and QOC-F were translated following an adapted version of Brislin's translation model and culturally adapted according to a Delphi expert panel. We pretested and refined the Chinese versions of the QOC-P and QOC-F among 16 dyads of patients and their family caregivers.

Advance care planning (ACP) is designed to ensure that patients lacking autonomous decision-making capacity receive medical services in accordance with their expectations and preferences. Individuals with advanced cancer are a crucial target for ACP implementation. However, the current practice of ACP in this group in China is suboptimal, demanding high-quality implementation evidence to strengthen ACP in the clinical practice of patients with advanced cancer.

The occurrence, sources, effects, and risks of microplastics (MPs) in farmland soils have attracted considerable attention. However, the pollution and ecological characteristics of MPs in farmland soils at different levels of rocky desertification remain unclear. We collected and analyzed farmland soil samples from rocky desertification areas in Guizhou, China, ranging from no to heavy risks.

Background: Nursing interns often experience lots of challenges during their clinical nursing internships, which can adversely affect career decisions and result in a squandering of nursing education resources. Patient safety attitudes, professional identity and climate of caring may affect nursing interns' clinical experience. However, more evidence is requested to validate these relationships for nursing educators to develop effective education programs and facilitate interns' successful transition.

Forest canopy closure (FCC) is an important parameter to evaluate forest resources and biodiversity. Using multi-source remote sensing collaborative means to achieve regional forest canopy closure inversion with low cost and high-precision is a research hotspot. Taking ICESat-2/ATLAS data as the main information source and combined with data of 54 measured plots, we estimated FCC value by the Bayesian optimization (BO) algorithm improved random forest (RF), K-nearest neighbor (KNN), and gradient boosting regression tree (GBRT) model at footprint-scale.

Background: Both clinical and cultural competencies are of paramount importance in ensuring patients' safety and high-quality care. While problem-based learning (PBL) is a widely applied pedagogy in nursing education, an emerging technology-based pedagogy, virtual simulation provides a realistic clinical learning experience for students. It can be an effective solution for continuing clinical and cultural learning across countries in the era of the pandemic.

Objective: It is well-documented in the literature that dignity therapy is feasible and effectively improves the end-of-life experience of the terminally ill. In a similar vein, this study aimed to develop and investigate the feasibility of evidence-based and culturally sensitive family-oriented dignity therapy for Chinese patients with lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy.

Methods: Three phases of the Medical Research Council framework were adopted to guide the development of the novel dignity therapy intervention.

Diabetes mellitus has been a major public health problem worldwide, characterized by insulin resistance and dysfunction of β-cells. A previous study showed that Kindlin-2 loss in β-cells dramatically reduces insulin secretion and decreases β-cell mass, resulting in severe diabetes-like phenotypes. It suggests that Kindlin-2 in β-cells play an important role in regulating glucose homeostasis.

Introduction: Promoting the quality of death and achieving a good death is one of the most important goals of palliative care in cancer care. Few studies synthesised views of patients with cancer on the notion of a good death and its associated factors. By eliciting the core elements of a good death, the review aims to identify potential unmet needs of patients with cancer and reveal their common values and care preferences at the end of life.
