Features influencing surface acting of different clusters of nursing students in vocational college based on interpretable machine learning: A cross-sectional study.

Aim: To explore and explain the mechanisms that influence surface acting in nursing students with different characteristics.

Background: Nurses are now expected to deliver patient-centered care which necessitates the emotional labor. Surface acting, a form of emotional labor, can lead to negative outcomes.

Narrative nursing for negative emotions in patients with acute pancreatitis: Based on model construction and application.

Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP), as a common acute abdomen disease, has a high incidence rate worldwide and is often accompanied by severe complications. Negative emotions lead to increased secretion of stress hormones, elevated blood sugar levels, and enhanced insulin resistance, which in turn increases the risk of AP and significantly affects the patient's quality of life. Therefore, exploring the intervention effects of narrative nursing programs on the negative emotions of patients with AP is not only helpful in alleviating psychological stress and improving quality of life but also has significant implications for improving disease outcomes and prognosis.

In vivo intracellular Ca profiles after eccentric rat muscle contractions: addressing the mechanistic bases for repeated bout protection.

Eccentric contractions (ECC) are accompanied by the accumulation of intracellular calcium ions ([Ca]) and induce skeletal muscle damage. Suppressed muscle damage in repeated bouts of ECC is well characterized; however, whether it is mediated by altered Ca profiles remains unknown. We tested the hypothesis that repeated ECC suppresses Ca accumulation via adaptations in Ca regulation.

Progress in the Metabolic Engineering of for the Synthesis of Terpenes.

Terpenes are natural secondary metabolites with isoprene as the basic structural unit; they are widely found in nature and have potential applications as advanced fuels, pharmaceutical ingredients, and agricultural chemicals. However, traditional methods are inefficient for obtaining terpenes because of complex processes, low yields, and environmental unfriendliness. The unconventional oleaginous yeast , with a clear genetic background and complete gene editing tools, has attracted increasing attention for terpenoid synthesis.

Biodegradable exosome-engineered hydrogels for the prevention of peritoneal adhesions via anti-oxidation and anti-inflammation.

Peritoneal adhesions (PA) are a common and severe complication after abdominal surgery, impacting millions of patients worldwide. The use of anti-adhesion materials as physical barriers is an effective strategy to prevent postoperative adhesions. However, the local inflammatory microenvironment exerts a significant impact on the efficacy of anti-adhesion therapies.

Sequential multiple mediating effect of loneliness and family health on physical frailty and willingness to age at home in older adults: a national survey in China.

Background: With the rapid ageing of the global population, the number of older adults with physical frailty has been gradually increasing, making ageing at home a key strategy for coping with this demographic change. The opinions of older adults regarding their willingness to age at home deserve to be considered respectfully. As a result, this study aimed to investigate willingness to age at home and any associated underlying mechanisms involving physical frailty among older Chinese adults.

Effects of Message Framing on Human Papillomavirus Vaccination: Systematic Review.

Background: With the advancement of cervical cancer elimination strategies, promoting human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination is essential to achieving this goal. The issue of how to structure and develop message content to promote HPV vaccination is a debatable issue.

Objective: The efficacy of gain-loss framing in vaccination contexts is disputed.

Factors influencing the physical activity among pediatric cancer survivors based on the parent-based expansion of the Theory of Planned Behavior.

Purpose: This study descriptively analyzed the current status of physical activity among pediatric cancer survivors and their parents and further analyzed the factors influencing the physical activity among pediatric cancer survivors based on the parent-based expansion of the Theory of Planned Behavior.

Methods: A total of 271 pediatric cancer survivors and their parents were conveniently selected as participants for this cross-sectional survey conducted from June to November 2023. Using questionnaires to collect sociodemographic and physical activity data of pediatric cancer survivors and their parents, dimensions of the Theory of Planned Behavior among pediatric cancer survivors.

Systemic Modulators: Potential Mechanism for the 5-HT System to Mediate Exercise Amelioration in Alzheimer's Disease.

As a neurodegenerative disease closely related to age-related changes, Alzheimer's disease (AD) is rapidly becoming one of the most resource-intensive and deadly diseases of this century. As a systemic neurotransmitter system with widespread distribution throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems, the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) system not only plays an important role in antidepressant therapy but also shows potential value in improving AD symptoms. The 5-HT system may facilitate the prevention and treatment of AD by impacting its pathological processes through various pathways, such as the regulation of Aβ deposition, hyperphosphorylation of Tau, central and peripheral neuroinflammation, and the interactions with the cholinergic and BDNF systems.

Developing a Scale to Measure Public Health Nurses' Advocacy Practices in Group and Community Settings in Japan.

Objective: This study aimed to develop a scale to assess public health nurses' (PHNs') advocacy practices in groups and communities in Japan and determine its reliability and validity.

Design And Sample: This study is a cross-sectional investigation. The sample comprised PHNs across various municipalities in Japan.

Relationship between scapular internal rotation and upper-trunk movements during right and left hand-behind-back movements.

[Purpose] This study aimed to clarify the relationship between scapular internal rotation and upper-trunk movement during hand-behind-back movements of the right and left hands. [Participants and Methods] We included 20 healthy right-handed men and measured their hand-behind-back movements while sitting, using a three-dimensional motion capture system. We examined the relationship between scapular internal rotation and upper-trunk movements during hand-behind-back movements with the right and left hands.

Application of artificial intelligence in medical education: A meta-ethnographic synthesis.

With the advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI), it has had a profound impact on medical education. Understanding the advantages and issues of AI in medical education, providing guidance for educators, and overcoming challenges in the implementation process is particularly important. The objective of this study is to explore the current state of AI applications in medical education.

Fertility Stress, Psychological Resilience, and Depressive Symptoms in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

Background: Infertility is a common problem for patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which is closely related to stress and raises the risk of depression, while psychological resilience has been revealed to be protective for mental health. However, the associations of fertility stress, psychological resilience, and depressive symptoms in individuals with PCOS are not thoroughly explored. Our study aims to examine the associations of fertility stress and psychological resilience with depressive symptoms among patients with PCOS, as well as the mediating role of psychological resilience.

Higher socioeconomic status is associated with higher ultra-processed food intake: a cross-sectional analysis.

Objective: To explore the differences in ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption across different socioeconomic status (SES) levels.
