Exploring the effect of music therapy as intervention to reduce anxiety pre- and post-operatively in CABG surgery: A quantitative systematic review.

Aim: Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery may experience psychological complications, which can increase mortality. This review aims to explore the efficacy of music therapy as an intervention to reduce anxiety pre- and post-operatively in CABG surgery.

Design: This was a quantitative systematic review registered in PROSPERO (REDACTED).

Polyacrylonitrile/UV329/titanium oxide composite nanofibrous membranes with enhanced UV protection and filtration performance.

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is extremely dangerous to humans and can contribute to immunosuppression, erythema, early ageing and skin cancer. UV protection finishing may greatly influence the handling and permeability of fabrics, while UV-proof fibres can guarantee close contact between UV-resistant agents and fabric without affecting the handling of the fabric. In this study, polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/UV absorber 329 (UV329)/titanium dioxide (TiO) composite nanofibrous membranes with complex, highly efficient UV resistance were fabricated electrospinning.

An exploration of the psychological impact and support needs of nurses during a pandemic: A qualitative systematic review.

Aim: When a public health emergency occurs, nurses play an important role on the front lines and experience tremendous physical and mental stress. This review aims to synthesize existing qualitative studies exploring the psychological impact and support needs of nurses.

Design: Qualitative systematic reviews.

Fluorine-Free Hydrophobic Modification and Waterproof Breathable Properties of Electrospun Polyacrylonitrile Nanofibrous Membranes.

Waterproof breathable functional membranes have broad application prospects in the field of outdoors textiles. The fluorine-containing microporous membranes of the mainstream functional products easily cause harm to the environment, and thus, the fluorine-free environmental nanofibrous membranes are an important development direction for functional membranes. In this subject, the electrospun polyacrylonitrile nanofibrous membranes were first hydrophobically modified by amino functional modified polysiloxane (AMP), followed by in situ cross-linking modified with 4, 4'-methyl diphenylene diisocyanate (MDI).

Enhanced cellular osteogenic differentiation on CoFeO/P(VDF-TrFE) nanocomposite coatings under static magnetic field.

Cellular responses can be regulated and manipulated through combining stimuli-responsive biomaterial with external stimulus. In this present, the magneto-responsive CoFeO/P(VDF-TrFE) nanocomposite coatings were designed to understand cell behaviors of preosteoblasts, as well as get insight into the underlying mechanism of osteogenic differentiation under static magnetic field (SMF). CoFeO/P(VDF-TrFE) nanocomposite coatings with differential magnetic property (low, medium and high magnetization) were prepared by incorporation of different mass fraction of CoFeO nanoparticles (6%, 13 %, 20 %) into P(VDF-TrFE) matrix.

Magnetic mesoporous carbonated hydroxyapatite microspheres with hierarchical nanostructure for drug delivery systems.

Magnetic mesoporous carbonated hydroxyapatite microspheres have been fabricated hydrothermally by using CaCO(3)/Fe(3)O(4) microspheres as sacrificial templates. The high drug-loading capacity and sustained drug release property suggest that the multifunctional microspheres have great potentials for bone-implantable drug-delivery applications.
