Objective: To determine the effect of ultrasonic debridement on serum inflammatory factors of procalcitonin (PCT), highsensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), red blood cell deposition rate (ESR) content, and expression levels of wound tissue basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF).
Study Design: An experimental study.
Place And Duration Of Study: Department of Emergency, Dongguan People's Hospital, China, from February 2016 to February 2018.
Methodology: A total of 80 patients with limb flap repair were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 40 cases in each group. Control group was treated with conventional surgical debridement, and the observation group was treated with ultrasound debridement technique. The effect was compared between two groups.
Results: On the 1st, 3rd, and 7th days after flap repair, Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) scores in observation group were lower than those in control group (all p <0.001). On the 7th day after the flap repair, serum levels of PCT, hs-CRP, and ESR were lower in observation group than those in control group (all p <0.001). On the 7th and 12th day after flap repair, expression levels of bFGF and EGF protein in the wound tissue of observation group were higher than those in control group (all p <0.001). Infection with sinus tract formed after the flap repair in observation group was lower than that in control group (p=0.048).
Conclusion: Compared with conventional surgical debridement, ultrasound debridement technique can more effectively reduce postoperative inflammatory reactions, reduce postoperative wound infection, relieve pain in patients, promote the bFGF and EGF expression in the wound tissue.

Wearable devices designed for the somatosensory system aim to provide event-cue feedback electronics and therapeutic stimulation to the peripheral nervous system. This prompts a neurological response that is relayed back to the central nervous system. Unlike virtual reality tools, these devices precisely target peripheral mechanoreceptors by administering specific stimuli.

Purpose: To investigate the effects of compression therapy combined with exercise for cancer patients (EXCAP) in patients with peripheral neuropathy caused by breast cancer chemotherapy.
Methods: Overall, 108 patients with peripheral neuropathy after chemotherapy for breast cancer were randomly divided into the control group (routine nursing), experimental group 1 (compression therapy), and experimental group 2 (compression therapy and EXCAP). The National Institute of Cancer Drug Toxicity Rating Scale and the Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy Assessment Tool were assessed and compared between groups.

The psychological impact of pediatric burn injuries is profound, often resulting in elevated levels of anxiety for both children and their mothers. This quasi-experimental study was conducted to explore the effectiveness of a resilience training program aimed at reducing anxiety among mothers and their hospitalized children with burn injuries at a burn hospital in Shiraz, Iran. Fifty-six eligible mothers were initially selected through purposive sampling and assigned to either the experimental or control group in a 1:1 ratio through random assignment.

Background: Colorectal cancer is the most common cancer globally, and its prevalence is high in minority populations.
Objectives: To investigate the effectiveness of a young adult community health advisor (YACHA)-led intervention in enhancing the colorectal cancer (CRC) screening uptake rate among asymptomatic South Asians aged 50 to 75 years residing in Hong Kong and to investigate the acceptability of this intervention.
Methods: A randomized controlled trial design was adopted.
