Background: Diabetes Mellitus is a long duration disease, and if a person with diabetes is infected with a blood-borne infectious disease and proper syringe disposal practices are not followed, they run the danger of transmitting the infection to others for a very long period. Whereas fewer research has been done in China on the handing of sharp objects at home. Therefore, there is a need to translate and localize the Knowledge-Attitude-Practice Questionnaire regarding sharp disposal for diabetic patients to assess the current level of patient knowledge, attitudes, and practices and to improve the basis for promoting safe sharps handling practices.

- FeAl is an effective material for absorbing microwave energy, but its performance is limited by high density and poor impedance matching.
- Researchers created a new absorber by combining FeAl with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to improve performance.
- The optimal mixture, featuring 1.5% CNTs, enhances both magnetic and dielectric loss, achieving excellent impedance matching and a wide absorption bandwidth of 4.73 GHz at a 2 mm thickness.*
Background: As a long-term chronic disease, Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients' quality of life is affected by both themselves and his/ her close relatives, requiring comprehensive support from family members to ensure that patients are able to manage disease. The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between caregivers' sense of coherence, caregiver competence, and T2DM patients' quality of life, as well as to explore the factors affecting patients with T2DM patients.
Methods: This investigation was a cross-sectional study.
Aim: To investigate how nurses' psychological resilience affects their work engagement and the resulting pathways, namely, the intermediary effect of career identity and quality of work life.
Background: Psychological resilience is the ability to adapt to new circumstances and overcome difficulties. Work engagement is a positive, perfect emotional and cognitive state in the work process, which has a positive effect on nurses' physical and mental health and career development.
Objective: Our study aims to identify the impact of histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) and microRNA-376c-3p (miR-376c-3p) on gastric cancer (GC) by targeting wingless-type MMTV integration site family member 2b (WNT2b).
Methods: Levels of miR-376c-3p, HDAC3 and WNT2b were assessed. GC cells were treated with altered HDAC3 or miR-376c-3p to evaluate their biological functions, and rescue experiment was performed to assess the effect of WNT2b on GC cells.
