This study aimed to evaluate and revise a questionnaire according to the "Core Nursing Outcomes for Otorhinolaryngology Head-Neck" of the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC, 5th Edition), and determine suitable postoperative nursing outcomes for patients with laryngeal carcinoma in China.
Methods: The commonly used postoperative nursing outcomes for laryngeal carcinoma were screened using a questionnaire given to 93 nurses.
To investigate the nanoscale mechanical properties of exfoliated cervical epithelial cells from patients to further reveal the pathogenesis of cervical cancer and help early diagnose. Exfoliated cells were collected from nine patients with chronic cervicitis or CIN1(control group), 30 patients with CIN2-3 (CIN 2-3 group), and 13 patients with cervical cancer (cervical cancer group).
