Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates the long-term sustainability of evidence-based practices in perioperative airway management for elderly fracture patients, highlighting the gap in research which often focuses on short-term outcomes.
- - Using qualitative methods, nine nurses from a Shanghai hospital were interviewed to identify factors that influence the persistence of these practices, leading to the identification of three main themes: process aspects, staff aspects, and organizational environment aspects.
- - Key findings suggest that factors such as human resources, training, leadership support, infrastructure, and collaboration between patients and physicians are crucial for maintaining effective evidence-based practices in clinical settings.
Gestational diabetes mellitus decreased umbilical cord blood polyunsaturated fatty acids: a meta-analysis of observational studies.
Prostaglandins Leukot Essent Fatty Acids

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) affects the metabolism of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in mothers and their fetuses, as PUFAs are crucial for fetal brain and retina development.
- The meta-analysis included 24 observational studies with 4,335 maternal datasets and 12 studies with 1,675 fetal datasets, finding significant differences in PUFA levels between mothers with GDM and those without.
- Results showed that while maternal plasma/serum levels of certain PUFAs were higher in GDM mothers, those in maternal erythrocyte membranes and fetal cord blood were lower, indicating GDM may hinder effective PUFA transfer to the fetus.
Background: Increasing evidence shows that Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) involve in the development and progression processes of various cancers, including papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). In this study, we focused on the regulation function of lncRNA LINC00460 in the development of PTC.
Methods: Expression of LINC00460 was detected using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western blot assay.
