Since its application in medical institutions in China, quality control circle (QCC) has gained achievements in medical care and thus earned more attention from the administrative department of health.In order to improve the quality of laboratory specimens, we launched a QCC activity to solve the problems and evaluate the effect of it. The data of 30,105 unqualified specimens in our hospital were collected from February to June 2017. After the QCC activity, the data of 43,125 specimens taken from July to December 2017 were collected.The defect rate of the specimens before the QCC activity was 0.98% (297/30105), and after the QCC activity, it was 0.45% (193/43125), showing a significant statistical difference (P < .05). The achievement rate and improvement rate were 108.2% and 54.1%, respectively.After the implementation of QCC, the defect rate of specimens in clinical laboratories was significantly decreased, and the intangible factors were also improved, which demonstrated the positive effects of QCC on the quality control of specimens.

Objective: This study aims to enhance compliance with lower limb lymphedema (LLL) prevention care measures post-gynecologic oncology surgery (GOS) through quality control circle (QCC) activity, aiming to improve patient recovery outcomes and reduce postoperative complications.
Methods: A 6-month QCC activity was conducted within the hospital, employing the ten-step plan-do-check-act model for QCC activity. The root causes of inadequate implementation of LLL prevention care measures were analyzed, leading to the development of relevant strategies and protocols.
Tracing Quiescent Cancer Cells In Vivo.

QCCs have long gained significant interest as potential "seeds" for recurrent cancers. Clinical evidence suggests that a subset of cancer cells exits the cell cycle and enters a quiescent state following anti-cancer treatment. These microscopic-residual QCCs are extremely challenging to trace and detect within patients.

Electronic address:
Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia and progressive cognitive dysfunction, and our clinical investigation revealed that the plasma concentration of melatonin (Mlt) decreased and was closely related to cognition in T2DM patients. However, although many studies have suggested that Mlt has a certain protective effect on glucose and lipid metabolism disorders and neuropsychiatric injury, the underlying mechanism of Mlt against T2DM-related metabolic and cognitive impairments remains unclear.
Purpose: The aim of the present study was to investigate the therapeutic effect of Mlt on metabolic disorders and Alzheimer's disease (AD)-like neuropsychiatric injuries in T2DM mice and to explore the possible underlying molecular mechanism involved.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the effectiveness of the Quality Control Circle (QCC) model in promoting early ambulation for patients post-cesarean section in Chinese hospitals.
- A QCC management group was formed to improve early ambulation rates, which increased significantly from 37.5% to 81.25% after implementing QCC activities.
- The initiative also enhanced nursing qualities like responsibility, communication, and teamwork, demonstrating that QCC management benefits both patient recovery and nursing care.
