Background: This study aimed to analyze the effect of traditional Chinese medicine-based rehabilitation nursing combined with scalp acupuncture (TCMRN + SA) on negative emotions and the quality of life of patients with stroke.
Methods: 102 patients with stroke admitted to The First People's Hospital of Huzhou from September 2019 to December 2020 were included in this study using the convenience sampling method and split into an observation group and a control group at random (n = 51 in each group). Individuals in the control group received TCMRN, whereas patients in the observation group received TCMRN + SA. Furthermore, the negative emotions and quality of life of the individuals in both groups were evaluated before and after the intervention using the Pittsburgh sleep quality index scale, Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), as well as Activity of Daily Living Scale. Furthermore, the efficiency of the sleep-quality intervention between the 2 groups was compared.
Results: After the intervention, the Pittsburgh sleep quality index scale, SDS, as well as self-rating anxiety scale scores of individuals in the observation group were considerably lower in comparison to the individuals in the control group (P < .01). Activity of daily living scale scores in the observation group also differed considerably from those in the control group (P < .01). Moreover, the sleep quality efficiency rate in the observation group (90.19% [46/51]) was substantially higher than that in the control group (70.59% [36/51]) (P < .05).
Conclusion: TCMRN + SA can effectively improve patients' negative emotions and quality of life and is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Introduction: Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) and dementia affect short- and long-term outcome after stroke and can persist even after recover from a physical handicap. The process underlying PSCI is not yet fully understood. Transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) is a feasible method to investigate cerebrovascular aging or dementia, through the pulsatility index (PI), the cerebrovascular reactivity (e.

5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a chemotherapeutic that is used to treat solid tumors. However, 5-FU is associated with several side effects, including cardiotoxicity. Considering the importance of the intrinsic cardiac nervous system (ICNS) for the heart and that little is known about effects of 5-FU on this nervous system plexus, the purpose of the present study was to evaluate effects 5-FU at a low dose on the ICNS and oxidative and inflammatory effects in the heart in Wistar rats.

Purpose: Vertebral body tethering (VBT) is a non-fusion surgical option for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) that requires a postoperative (PO) chest tube. This study evaluates whether 48 h of PO TXA reduces chest tube (CT) drainage and retention compared to 24 h of TXA following VBT for AIS.
Methods: Consecutively treated patients with a diagnosis of AIS who underwent VBT were assessed.
