Background: Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a common mood disorder associated with stroke. By investigating the differences in life quality factors among stroke survivors, the results of this study offer insights into how to better prevent and manage the onset and progression of depression.
Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study that selected patients receiving treatment in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at Hebei University Affiliated Hospital from September 1 to November 30, 2023.
Article Synopsis
- - Herbicides are widely used in various fields to control harmful plants, but their effective usage is only 20%-30%, leading to environmental contamination and potential health risks due to residues in air, soil, and water.
- - This study developed a method using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to detect residues of three specific herbicides (isoxaflutole, metazachlor, and saflufenacil) in environmental samples.
- - The research optimized detection parameters and sample preparation processes, achieving accurate measurements within the concentration range of 0.0005-0.02 mg/L, demonstrating reliable linear responses and acceptable matrix effects for the herbicides analyzed.
Background: Considering cancer death is second only to accidental death in the number of lives claimed each year,nurses in paediatric oncology wards often experience helplessness, sadness, frustration and such other adverse emotions when they witness children's death due to cancer.However,there is a lack of qualitative studies on nurses who witness the death of children in paediatric oncology wards in China.
Method: A qualitative study was conducted using a semi-structured interview guide with 22 paediatric oncology ward nurses.
Introduction: During the COVID-19 outbreak, many citizens were asked to stay at home in self-quarantine, which can pose a significant challenge with respect to remaining physically active and maintaining mental health. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of inadequate physical activity, anxiety, and depression and to explore the relationship of physical activity with anxiety and depression symptoms among Chinese college students during quarantine.
Method: Using a web-based cross-sectional survey, we collected data from 1,396 Chinese college students.
Differential expression pathways and hub genes in circulating monocytes from healthy Chinese women with high peak bone mass (PBM) vs. low PBM were explored using a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm. Human circulating monocytes transcription profiling (containing 14 samples with high PBM and 12 samples with low PBM) and KEGG pathways were all downloaded from the public database.

The aims of the present study were to evaluate the incidence of DKA in pregnant and non-pregnant women with diabetes; to compare the blood glucose levels at the diagnosis of DKA in pregnant and non-pregnant women; and to show a case of euglycemic DKA in pregnancy.
Methods: The subjects consisted of 90 cases of DKA in pregnant women with diabetes and 286 cases of non-pregnant female inpatients receiving treatment for diabetes during 2001 to 2005 in our hospital.
