Efficacy of Rapid Rehabilitation Nursing in Postoperative Care in China: A Meta-Analysis.

Background: Rapid rehabilitation nursing (RRN) has been increasingly adopted in China to improve patient outcomes following surgery. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the impact of RRN on hospital stays, postoperative complications, postoperative pain, patients' quality of life (QOL), and patient satisfaction with nursing care compared to traditional nursing care.

Methods: A systematic search of relevant databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library, was conducted to identify eligible studies.

Serum circulating free DNA of syncytin-1 as a novel molecular marker for early diagnosis of non-small-cell lung cancer.

Liquid biopsy has been receiving attention as an emerging detection technology in the clinical application of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We quantified serum circulating free DNA (cfDNA) of syncytin-1 in 126 patients and 106 controls, analyzed the correlation of level with pathological parameters and explored diagnostic utility. The cfDNA of syncytin-1 levels in NSCLC patients were higher than healthy controls (p < 0.

[Study on the Photo-thermal Effect of Gold Nanorods Irradiated with Near Infrared Region Laser in Different Conditions].

This article explores the possible influencing factor and regular pattern of temperature rise induced by photo-thermal effect of gold nanorods when irradiated with near infrared region (NIR) laser. We used transmission electron microscope and UV-Vis-NIR spectrometer to characterize gold nanorods, then used 808 nm NIR laser with different power to irradiate the gold nanorods in different conditions and measured the temperature of the above solution. The higher the concentration of gold nanorods, the faster the temperature rose and the bigger its amplitude was.

Application of 270 mgI/mL Iodinated Contrast Media in Dual-Source Computed Tomography Coronary Artery Imaging.

Background: This study aimed to explore the application of 270 mg I/mL iodinated contrast agent with a tube voltage of 100 kV scanning in coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA).

Methods: This CCTA study was a prospective observational study. The two radiologists were blinded to both patient information and image date arrangement.

[Effects of combined applications of pig farm slurry and chemical fertilizer on medium- and micro-element contents and quality of wheat].

Taking Yangmai 18, widely cultivated in south of Huaihe River, as experimental material, this study investigated the effects of application of 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 m3 x hm(-2) pig farm slurry (PS) at the wintering stage combined with the application of 0, 30, 60, 90 kg x hm(-2) urea at the heading stage on medium- and micro-element contents and quality of wheat. The results showed that the Ca, Mg and Fe contents of plant firstly decreased then increased with the extension of the growth period, but the Cu, Zn and Mn contents decreased continuously through the growth period. Ca, Mg, Cu and Zn reached the highest value at every growth stage except the jointing stage when applying 120 m3 x hm(-2) PS with 90 kg x hm(-2) urea.

Photothermolysis mediated by gold nanorods modified with EGFR monoclonal antibody induces Hep-2 cells apoptosis in vitro and in vivo.

Gold nanorods (AuNRs) have been used in plasmonic photothermal therapy (PPTT), which is thought to be more efficient and selective than conventional photothermal therapy. The efficiency and safety of PPTT can be improved by functionally modifying the gold nanorods with proteins or biomolecules. In this study, AuNRs were modified with anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibody (mAb), and the apoptotic potential of EGFRmAb-AuNR was assessed in Hep-2 cells in vitro and in vivo.

[Expression of EGFR about different region tissues and its relationship with histological differentiation in laryngeal carcinoma].

Objective: To detect the expression of EGFR in different region of laryngeal tissue, and use quantitive analysis to discuss the relation between expression of EGFR and histological differentiation.

Method: Collected 36 cases of laryngeal tissue example, which be divided in to three groups based on pathobiology. Using Western Blot to detect the EGFR expression in cancer tissue, para cancer tissue and normal tissue, and combined imaging analytical technique to analyse the relation between expression of EGFR and histological differentiation.

Tetra-μ-2-methyl-benzoato-κO:O'-bis-[(ethanol-κO)copper(II)].

In the title dinuclear complex, [Cu(2)(C(8)H(7)O(2))(4)(C(2)H(5)OH)(2)], four 2-methyl-benzoato anions form a cage around two Cu(II) ions in a syn-anti configuration. Two ethanol mol-ecules coordinate the Cu atoms in apical positions, giving an overall square-pyramidal coordination geometry. The Cu⋯Cu separation is 2.

[Analysis of carotid artery of patients with acute ischemic stroke by dual-source computed tomographic angiography].

Objective: To investigate the changes on carotid artery of patients with acute ischemic stroke by dual source computed tomographic angiography (DS-CTA) .

Methods: From March 2009 to August 2010, 71 patients with acute ischemic stroke (IS group) underwent magnetic resonance imaging, which showed high signals on diffusion-weighted images. The location of atherosclerotic plaques in carotid artery, the nature of plaques, and the grade of stenosis were analyzed by DS-CTA, and the results were further compared with 45 patients with non-ischemic stroke (control group) .

Proteomic investigation of 1,6-dimethoxyhexane testicular toxicity.

The aliphatic ether 1,6-dimethoxyhexane (DMH) was previously identified as a testicular toxicant. Testis protein extracts from control and DMH-treated rats were subjected to two-dimensional gel electrophoresis for comparison of protein expression profiles. MALDI-ToF peptide mass fingerprinting of differentially expressed proteins resulted in the conclusive identification of heat shock-related 70kDa protein 2 (HSP70.
