To develop and test the validity reliability of Korean version PES-NWI measuring nursing work environments in hospitals.The was developed through forward-backward translation techniques, revision based on feedback from focus groups. An internal consistency construct using confirmatory factor analysis were conducted SPSS WIN (16.0) AMOS (18.0). Survey data collected 733 nurses who worked three acute care hospitals Seoul, South Korea.The showed reliable with a Cronbach's alpha for total scale...
To understand nurse resilience by integrating the qualitative research results on nurses' resilience-related experiences.We applied seven steps of meta-ethnographic process Noblit and Hare (1988). Five databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Web Science, CINAHL PsycINFO) were used to search for relevant studies published from January 2011 September 2021.Sixteen included. The four themes "self-development based one's inner self", "fostering a positive attitude towards life", "developing personal...
Lazarus and Folkman's theory of cognitive appraisal coping inspired the present study to test a mediation model examining effects self-efficacy on relationship between perceived stress life satisfaction. A total 282 Korean undergraduate students participated in study. Perceived Stress Scale, Satisfaction with Life Self Efficacy Scale were used for this series hierarchical regressions investigated mediating effect Results indicated that there was partial relation The results supported...
Every year, 11% of infants are born preterm with significant health consequences, the vaginal microbiome a risk factor for birth. We crowdsource models to predict (1) birth (PTB; <37 weeks) or (2) early (ePTB; <32 from 9 studies representing 3,578 samples 1,268 pregnant individuals, aggregated public raw data via phylogenetic harmonization. The predictive validated on two independent unpublished datasets 331 148 individuals. top-performing (among and 121 submissions 318 teams) achieve area...
1H NMR spectroscopy coupled with multivariate statistical analysis was used for the first time to investigate metabolic changes in musts during alcoholic fermentation and wines aging. Three Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strains (RC-212, KIV-1116, KUBY-501) were also evaluated their impacts on must wine. Pattern recognition (PR) methods, including PCA, PLS-DA, OPLS-DA scores plots, showed clear differences metabolites among or each stage up 6 months. Metabolites responsible differentiation...
Up-regulation of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in the lung airway epithelium is associated with epithelium-leukocyte interaction, critical for pathogenesis various inflammatory diseases such as asthma. However, little known about how ICAM-1 up-regulated human epithelial cells. In this study, we show that tumor TNF-alpha induces monocyte to A549 and also up-regulation expression. These effects were significantly diminished by pre-treatment diphenyliodonium (DPI), an inhibitor...
Abstract Aims To explore heart failure patients’ needs and perspectives for using mobile health technology at home before developing a phone‐based self‐care intervention. Design A qualitative interview study. Methods Purposive sampling was used to conduct semi‐structured individual interviews with patients diagnosed chronic ( N = 20). Data were collected from November 2018 – May 2019. All audio‐recorded transcribed verbatim data analysed content analysis. Results The four themes that emerged...
ABSTRACT Aim Exploring how nursing home nurses who care for residents with dementia experience moral distress. Design A qualitative phenomenography design. Methods Phenomenography was used in this study. In‐depth interviews were conducted 20 caring at three homes using phenomenographic analysis. Results Six categories divided into two groups. The ‘reflection on my nursing’ group included the ‘anguish over qualifications to residents’, ‘uncertainty about adequacy of provided’, and ‘internal...
Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) is an inflammatory mediator with potent biological activities in the pathogenesis of many diseases. In present study, we found that expression BLT2, a low-affinity LTB4 receptor, significantly upregulated breast cancer cells. addition, observed inhibition BLT2 by specific antagonist, LY255283, or siBLT2 RNA interference caused dramatic apoptotic cell death cells, especially estrogen receptor (ER)-negative MDA-MB-468 and MDA-MB-453 suggesting role for survival these...
The incidence rates of urinary bladder cancer continue to rise yearly, and thus new therapeutic approaches early diagnostic markers for are urgently needed. Thus, identifying the key mediators molecular mechanisms responsible survival has valuable implications development therapy. In this study, role BLT2, a receptor leukotriene B4 (LTB4) 12(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HETE), in 253J-BV cells was investigated. We found that expression BLT2 is highly elevated cells. Also, we observed...
Childhood maltreatment is strongly associated with delinquency and the repeated crime. Specific types of childhood have been found to differential effects on recidivism in juvenile offenders, but studies adult probationers not performed. This study investigated relationship between having a history mental-health problems independent contribution specific criminal probationers.This included 183 (107 males 76 females) mean age 40.1 (SD = 11.8) years. Type was assessed using Trauma...
Aim. This paper reports a study comparing the characteristics of patients who use home care services and those are cared for in nursing homes, identifying factors that influence these settings. Background. The increase functionally dependent older population has led to an number homes agencies. It become clear that, rather than disputing which is better options, it would be determine two long‐term services. Gaining understanding unique by agencies will imperative reforming developing...

Abstract The identification of embryo‐specific genes would provide insights into early embryonic development. However, the current methods employed to identify that are expressed at a specific developmental stage labor intensive and suffer from high rates false positives. Here we new accurate reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) technology involves annealing control primers (ACPs) specifically or prominently in bovine blastocysts hatched produced vitro. Using these...
