    Most nurses agreed that the in situ simulation teaching method can cultivate clinical thinking and teamwork ability for common emergencies, thereby improving their comprehensive quality and job competence, which is invaluable when responding to emergencies.

    To analyze the predictive value of postoperative C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), and triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1 (TREM-1) for the early detection of pulmonary infection following laparoscopic general anesthesia for cervical cancer treatment.

    We enrolled 80 patients who underwent radical surgery for cervical cancer in our hospital from March 2018 to March 2020 and divided them into an infected group (n=34) and non-infected group (n=46) according to whether they were complicated by lung infection after surgery. The levels of CRP, PCT, and TREM-1 were compared between the two groups, and logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for pulmonary infection. The ROC curve was used to analyze the predictive value of the individual detection of CRP, PCT, or TREM-1 as well as their combined detection.

    The levels of CRP, PCT, and TREM-1 in the infected group were higher than those in non-the infected group 24 h after operation (P<0.05) and tumor TNM staging, prelly increased in patients with pulmonary infection after laparoscopic general anesthesia for cervical cancer treatment. Their combined detection can be used as an effective means to predict the occurrence of pulmonary infections in the early stage and their level should direct timely intervention to improve the prognosis of patients.

    This study sought to explore the effects of personalized rehabilitation exercises in the postoperative rehabilitation of breast cancer patients.

    A total of 93 breast cancer patients admitted to our hospital from January 2018 to December 2019 were taken as research subjects for this study. Based on order of admission, patients were assigned to a control group (46 cases) or an observation group (47 cases). All patients underwent a modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer. Patients in the control group received routine nursing and rehabilitation training after their operations, while those in the observation group received personalized rehabilitation exercises (for a period of 6 months) in addition to the rehabilitation training received by the control group. The immune function indicators, the incidence of upper limb-related complications, the movement of the shoulder joint, upper limb function, ability of daily living (ADL), and quality of life (QoL) was then compared between the two groups before andbility and upper limb function, and improved their ADL and QoL.

    Poor sleep quality is a major health problem worldwide. In universities, poor sleep quality can effect student’s ability to study and have a serious impact on their psychological and physical well-being. The aim of this study was to explore the quality of sleep among university students and identify risk factors associated with poor sleep quality.

    A cross-sectional study was conducted and the Pittsburgh sleep quality index scale was used to measure sleep quality. The overall score of the PSQI ranges from 0 to 21, with a score of 4 or less indicating good sleep quality, a score of 5-10 indicating fairly good sleep quality, 11-15 indicating fairly bad sleep quality, and a score of 16-21 indicating poor sleep quality.

    A total of 1,317 subjects were enrolled in the study. Most subjects were female (64.6%) and rural based (69.2%). Low intensity sports activity more than once per week was reported by 81.9% of subjects and 59.8% reported they participated in high-intensity sports more than once a week. In addition, 72.8% of subjects took a nap more than three times per week.

    We found that physical activity and taking a nap may be important factors in improving sleep quality and preventing sleep disorders among university students.

    To systematically evaluate and analyze the risk factors for breast cancer (BC) with bone metastasis (BM) and provide clinical evidence supporting the early prevention of BM.

    We systematically retrieved databases from the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE for BC with BM patient. Limited publish cation between January 1, 2001, and December 31, 2019. Literature screening and evaluation were performed independently by 2 evaluators. selleck chemicals llc The quality of all included studies was evaluated with the NOS. Studies with NOS ≥6 on factors related to the BM of BC were identified. Weighted odds ratio (OR) were used as the combined effects.

    We identified 18 articles with available data. The NOS scores ranged from 6-9. Progesterone receptor (PR)-positive BC patients had a relatively lower risk of BM [I2=45.9%, OR =0.80, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.72, 0.88, P<0.001]. HER2-positive BC patients had a relatively higher risk of BM (I2=77.6%, OR =1.35, 95% CI 1.04, 1.76, P=0.025). The risk of BM in patienlatively lower risk of BM. Patients with HER2-positive, lymph node metastasis-positive, nonlobular, or ductal BC have a relatively higher risk of BM. With increasing T stage, the risk of BM in BC patients also increases.

    Sexual dysfunction is common in postoperative breast cancer patients, which seriously affects the quality of life of the patients, especially young patients. The aim of the present study was to investigate the incidence and risk factors of sexual dysfunction in young breast cancer survivors, so as to provide evidence for further intervention.

    A total of 201 young breast cancer patients who were hospitalized in our department from October 2017 to October 2018 were retrospectively enrolled. The general information questionnaire and the female sexual function index (FSFI) questionnaire were used to evaluate the patients.

    Of these patients, 83.08% (167/201) of young breast cancer patients had sexual dysfunction. Total mastectomy (OR value single factor =7.843, OR value multiple factor =6.815), chemotherapy (OR value single factor =11.876, OR value multiple factor =38.711), and endocrine therapy (OR value single factor =19.688, OR value multiple factor =46.251) were independent risk factors of sexual dysfunction in young breast cancer survivors (P<0.
