Trends in nutritional status and factors affecting prognostic nutritional index in ovarian cancer patients during chemotherapy: a prospective longitudinal study based on generalized estimating equations.

Purpose: Numerous studies have investigated the relationships between nutritional status and the prognosis of ovarian cancer (OC). However, the majority of these studies have focused on pre-chemotherapy malnutrition, with limited attention given to dynamic changes in nutritional status during chemotherapy and the associated risk factors affecting the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) in OC women. This study aims to explore the variation trend in the nutritional status of OC women over time during chemotherapy and assess its predictive factors.

Construction and evaluation of a cloud follow-up platform for gynecological patients receiving chemotherapy.

Background: Patient follow-up is an essential component of hospital management. In the current information era, the patient follow-up scheme is expected to be replaced by Internet technology. This study constructed a cloud follow-up platform for gynecological chemotherapy patients and assessed its cost-effectiveness and patients' feedback.

Mesoporous TiO Single-Crystal Particles from Controlled Crystallization-Driven Mono-Micelle Assembly as an Efficient Photocatalyst.

Mesoporous materials with crystalline frameworks have been widely explored in many fields due to their unique structure and crystalline feature, but accurate manipulations over crystalline scaffolds, mainly composed of uncontrolled polymorphs, are still lacking. Herein, we explored a controlled crystallization-driven monomicelle assembly approach to construct a type of uniform mesoporous TiO particles with atomically aligned single-crystal frameworks. The resultant mesoporous TiO single-crystal particles possess an angular shape ∼80 nm in diameter, good mesoporosity (a high surface area of 112 m g and a mean pore size at 8.

Explore the use of complementary and alternative medicine among Chinese gynaecological patients with cancer undergoing chemotherapy: a qualitative phenomenological study.

Objectives: To explore the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) by Chinese gynaecological oncology patients undergoing chemotherapy and discuss measures to address the existing gaps.

Design: Qualitative phenomenology. Semistructured in-depth interview.

Construction of Type-II Heterojunctions in Crystalline Carbon Nitride for Efficient Photocatalytic H Evolution.

As an encouraging photocatalyst, crystalline carbon nitride (CCN) exhibits unsatisfactory photocatalytic activity and stability due to its rapid recombination of photo-generative carriers. Herein, high-crystalline g-CN was prepared, including CCN obtained in KCl (K-CCN), LiCl-KCl mixture (Li/K-CCN), and LiCl-NaCl-KCl mixture (Li/Na/K-CCN), via the molten salt strategy using pre-prepared bulk carbon nitride (BCN) as a precursor. The obtained BCN sample was formed by heptazine-based units, which convert into triazine-based units for K-CCN.

A two-sample mendelian randomization analysis investigates associations between gut microbiota and infertility.

Observational studies have provided evidence of a correlation between alterations in gut microbiota composition and infertility. However, concrete proof supporting the causal relationship is still lacking. We performed a Mendelian randomization study to assess whether genetically gut microbiota composition influences the risk of infertility.

Professional Nursing Practice Environment and Work Engagement: The Mediating Roles of Self-Efficacy and Achievement Motivation.

Background: The shortage of nurses is a global problem. Increasing the level of work engagement is known to effectively reduce turnover rate among nursing staff. Strategies to improve work engagement based on the job demands-resources model may effectively improve nurses' job satisfaction and reduce staff turnover.

Longitudinal Change in Symptom Clusters in Patients With Ovarian Cancer.

Background: The symptoms of patients with ovarian cancer at a specific time point during the treatment process have been investigated in previous studies. However, only a few longitudinal studies have been conducted in China to determine the symptom cluster of patients with ovarian cancer before surgery, after surgery, and during the initial stage of chemotherapy.

Purpose: This study was carried out to identify the symptom clusters in patients with ovarian cancer at different stages of treatment.

Parents' and Guardians' Willingness to Vaccinate Their Children against COVID-19: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

COVID-19 vaccination for children is crucial to achieve herd immunity. This is the first systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate parents' and guardians' willingness to vaccinate their children against COVID-19 and identify the determinants of vaccination intention. Systematic research was performed on the two databases (PubMed and EMBASE) from inception to 6 November 2021.

Effects of oligopeptide simulating DMP-1/mineral trioxide aggregate/agarose hydrogel biomimetic mineralisation model for the treatment of dentine hypersensitivity.

Dentine hypersensitivity (DH) occurs when dentine is exposed to stimuli from the oral environment due to a lack of enamel or cementum. The use of biomimetic mineralisation in occluding exposed dentinal tubules and regenerating enamel-like tissues on dentine surfaces is preferred for a long-lasting treatment. In this study, we established a biomimetic mineralisation model composed of oligopeptide stimulating dentine matrix protein 1 (DMP-1), mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and an agarose hydrogel biomimetic mineralisation model (AHBMM); the proposed model is thus referred to as DMP-1@MTA@AHBMM.
