Symptom network connectivity and interaction among people with HIV in China: secondary analysis based on a cross-sectional survey.

Background: The symptom burden in people with HIV (PWH) is considerable. Nonetheless, the identification of a central symptom, or bridge symptom, among the myriad symptoms experienced by PWH remains unclear. This study seeks to establish networks of symptom experiences within different clusters and investigate the relationships and interconnectedness between these symptoms in PWH.

Validation and Refinement of the Self-Regulatory HIV/AIDS Symptom Management Model Among People With HIV in China Using Path Analysis: A Secondary Data Analysis.

This study explored the path affecting the quality of life (QOL) of people with HIV in China and clarified the applicability and interpretability of the Self-Regulatory HIV/AIDS Symptom Management Model. We conducted a cross-sectional survey in nine regions of China and collected information about demographics, symptom experience, social support, perceived symptom manageability, self-efficacy, and QOL. A total of 711 patients participated in this survey.

Development and validation of the perceived symptom manageability scale among people living with the human immunodeficiency virus.

Background: "Perceived Symptom Manageability (PSM)" is essential in symptom management among people living with HIV. As a standardized assessment instrument was lacking, we developed a PSM scale for people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PSM-HIV).

Methods: Data analysis was performed using the sample from HIV-designated medical institutions (N = 540).

Effects of Perceived Social Support on Health-Related Quality of Life in Asymptomatic and Symptomatic People Living with HIV in China: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Objective: Improving health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in people living with HIV (PLWH) is one of the critical goals of HIV prevention and control in the following decades, and perceived social support (PSS) has always exhibited a positive influence on patients' HRQOL. This study aims to describe the gap in social support in improving HRQOL between symptomatic and asymptomatic PLWH.

Methods: By analysing secondary data from an online survey, a multicenter, descriptive and crosssectional study was conducted.

Awareness and practice of preventive measures among healthcare workers in medical institutions in Beijing during influenza season on the eve of COVID-19 epidemic: A cross-sectional survey.

Background: Influenza is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by the influenza virus, which poses a certain threat to humans due to its short incubation period, fast transmission and strong infectivity.

Objectives: To evaluate the awareness and prevention behavior against influenza among healthcare workers on the eve of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic in Beijing, China.

Material And Methods: Using the cross-sectional research design based on the principle of convenience sampling, an online questionnaire survey on the knowledge of flu, vaccination, medical protection behavior, and flu medication was conducted between January and February 2020.

Benefits of an online multimodal nursing program among patients with peripherally inserted central catheter-related thrombosis.

Background: Asymptomatic peripherally inserted central catheter-related thrombosis (PICC-RT) is one of the most common and dangerous complications caused by peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) insertion. A variety of factors might lead to huge psychological pressures on patients and markedly affect their quality of life. The aim of this study was to evaluate the benefits of an online multimodal nursing program on the quality of life and psychological resilience of asymptomatic PICC-RT patients with ovarian cancer.

Prevalence of Gynecological Related Symptoms and Quality of Life in Women Living with HIV/AIDS: a Secondary Analysis from an Online, Cross-Sectional Survey in China.

Objective: Our study aims to completely understand the experience of gynecological related symptoms (GRS) and the association between GRS and quality of life (QOL) among HIV-infected women in China.

Design: A cross-sectional, multicenter survey.

Setting: The HIV/AIDS designated medical institutions of seven regions in China.

Association between HIV duration and symptom distress among middle-aged and elderly people with HIV-infected in China: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Debate has persisted regarding whether PLWH with longer HIV durations have lower levels of prevalence and severity of symptoms compared with their newly diagnosed counterparts. Whether and how the HIV duration impact the symptom distress among middle-aged and older PLWH has not been explored clearly.

Methods: The patients with HIV-infected aged more than 40 years old were included from seven designated medical institutions of seven regions in China.

Effect of Psychological Intervention on Pelvic Floor Function and Psychological Outcomes After Hysterectomy.

Background: Hysterectomy is one of the most frequently performed operations worldwide. However, postoperative complications and body image changes may induce psychological distress after hysterectomy. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of psychological intervention on pelvic floor function and psychological outcomes following hysterectomy among patients with benign indications.

Bio-regeneration of different rich CO absorption solvent via microalgae cultivation.

As one of the most mature carbon capture technologies, thermal regeneration of rich CO absorption solvent is a crucial challenge due to its high energy consumption (typically in the range of 3-6 MJ/kg CO). In this work, a concept of bio-regeneration was proposed using microalgae to convert bicarbonate (which is one of the dominant components in rich solution) into value-added biomass. To evaluate the performance of bio-regeneration, different rich solution (including NHHCO, KHCO and NaHCO) were investigated.

Postoperative Weight Loss Masks Metabolic Impacts of Periodontitis in Obese Rodents.

Background: Postoperative weight loss (POWL) is expected to occur in combined models of obesity and periodontitis. This study explores the confounding effects of POWL on the impact of ligation-induced periodontitis on glucose and lipid metabolism in obese animals.

Methods: Combined mouse models of diet-induced obesity (DIO) and ligation-induced periodontitis (5- or 10-day ligation) were studied.

[Periodontal inflammation affects the mechanical and immune barrier functions of mice gut].

Objective: To explore the effects of periodontal inflammation on the functions of gut barrier (ecological barrier, mechanical barrier, and immune barrier) in mice.

Methods: Twenty male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into perio-dontitis (P) or control (C) groups. The P group was subjected under a 10-day ligation with Porphyromonas gingivalis to induce periodontitis, whereas the C group was ligated with sham.
