Abstract

BackgroundThis network meta-analysis aimed to assess the efficacy of different educational methods for healthcare professionals.MethodsA systematic literature search was conducted to identify relevant randomised controlled trials. The standardised mean difference (SMD) with 95% CI was estimated using network meta-analysis for knowledge acquisition and skill performance, and ranked the effects of different educational methods using the surface under the cumulative ranking area (SCURA) technique.ResultsFifty-five randomised controlled trials including of 4292 participants were identified. Compared with no intervention, the results demonstrated all education methods achieved significant improvements in knowledge acquisition (SMD 1.73–2.66). Only education methods involving high fidelity virtual patient simulation reported significantly better skill performance (SMD 1.25–1.81). High fidelity virtual patient simulation plus self-directed learning was the most effective educational method both in terms of knowledge acquisition (SMD 2.66, 95% CI 1.4 to 4.12, SCURA 0.78) and skill performance (SMD 1.81, 95% CI 0.42 to 3.2, SCURA 0.89).ConclusionsOur study demonstrates all educational methods have positive effects on knowledge acquisition, but education methods involving high fidelity virtual patient simulation are better at improving skill performance than other methods.

Abstract

Diabetic patients are at high risk of developing cancer. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has become increasingly popular as an adjuvant treatment for patients with chronic diseases, and some studies have identified its beneficial effect in diabetic patients with cancer. The purpoes of this study was to outline the potential of TCM to attenuate hospitalization and mortality rates in diabetic patients with carcinoma in situ (CIS).

Abstract

This study aimed to produce a clean energy, hydrogen, and to remove pollutants simultaneously in water by photoelectrochemical (PEC) method. The photo-anode of cuprous oxide modified titanate nanotube arrays (Cu 2 O/TNTAs) was synthesized by using lactic acid, green tea, and coffee as reductants individually. The characterizations of Cu 2 O/TNTAs were performed by ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS), field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) to investigate the physical and chemical properties such as structure, crystallization, element contents, and optical performance. The electrochemical analyses of Cu 2 O/TNTAs showed the photo-current of Cu 2 O/TNTAs-t (using green tea as reductant) was 2.4 times higher than pure TNTAs, illustrating the effective separation of electron-hole pairs after Cu 2 O modification. The photoelectrochemical performances of Cu 2 O/TNTAs-t and Cu 2 O/TNTAs-c (using coffee as the reductant) were better than Cu 2 O/TNTAs-L (using lactic acid as the reductant) in terms of photo-current density, Ibuprofen degradation, and hydrogen generation, implying that depositing Cu 2 O on TNTAs can significantly improve the electron mobility by reducing the recombination rate of electron-hole pairs, which is beneficial to simultaneously ibuprofen degradation and hydrogen production., (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract

Components of betel quid (BQ) have been investigated for genotoxicity, mutagenicity, and animal toxicity. However, little information exists regarding their carcinogenic characteristics. Considerable attention has already been focused on tumor promoters that occur environmentally for human uptake. In this study, the promoting effects of BQ and lime-piper additives (LPA) in BQ on epidermal hyperplasia in CD-1 mouse skin are investigated. In the present study, we found that BQ and LPA at concentrations of 25,50,75 mg/ml caused significant induction of hyperplasia, but only LPA caused an increase of epidermal ornithine decarboxylase (ODC). Treatment of mouse skin with LPA caused remarkable increases in the production of H(2)O(2) by 2.41-, 3.90-, and 3.76-fold (for the above-indicated concentrations respectively); as well as marked increases of myeloperoxidase (MPO) by 1.43-, 2.70-, and 2.29-fold. Application of LPA or BQ (50,100,150 mg/ml) also caused induction of protein kinase C-alpha (PKC-alpha) and NF-kappaB. LPA exhibited more significant effect than BQ. Thus, LPA might make a major contribution to the BQ-induced expression of PKC and NF-kappaB. These results indicated that BQ has the potential of being promoting agents, and that LPA should play a major role in increasing the effects of BQ-caused skin hyperplasia and inflammation. The promoting effects of BQ and LPA on mouse skin were associated with the induction of the expressions of PKC and NF-kappaB.
