Qiangji Decoction Alleviates Neurodegenerative Changes and Hippocampal Neuron Apoptosis Induced by D-Galactose Regulating AMPK/SIRT1/NF-κB Signaling Pathway.

Qiangji Decoction (QJD), a classic formula, has been widely used to treat brain aging-related neurodegenerative diseases. However, the mechanisms underlying QJD's improvement in cognitive impairment of neurodegenerative diseases remain unclear. In this study, we employed D-galactose to establish the model of brain aging by long-term D-galactose subcutaneous injection.

Hindrances of peripherally inserted central catheter care of leukemia patients: a qualitative study.

Objective: A peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) needs regular care. However, clinical observations found that some discharged leukemia patients in mainland China had not complied with the requirement of regular care. Our study aims to explore the facilitators and hindrances of regular cares of PICC in leukemia patients with the Colaizzi phenomenon analysis.
