Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of the Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10) in screening dysphagia by using 2 and 3 as cut-off value with systematic review. Methods A retrieval on the diagnostic value of EAT-10 in dysphagia was done all through PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, WANFANG and VIP databases (from January 2008 to November 2016)."Quality As-sessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies" (QUADAS) was used to appraise included papers. Meta-Disc1.4 software was used to analyze heterogeneity and the combined effect of the data. Results Three papers were included and 394 subjects were included in the review. By using 2 and 3 as the cut-off value of EAT-10, the value of the weighted sensitivity was 0.84 [95%CI (0.79, 0.88)] and 0.77 [95%CI(0.71, 0.82)], the specificity was 0.64[95%CI (0.55, 0.72)] and 0.74 [95%CI(0.66, 0.81)],and the area under the receiver-operating-characteris-tic-curve (AUC-ROC) was 0.8621 and 0.8343, which illustrated the diagnostic accuracy of EAT-10 on dysphagia at the medium level. Conclusion The diagnostic ability of EAT-10 is good, but the sensitivity and specificity are different by using 2 and 3 as the cut-off value. The subjects should consider the specific clinical situation to determine the best cut-off value.

0bjective To synthesis evidence of self-efficacy-based interventions to improve self-management and health behaviour change in patients with diabetes. Methods PubMed, Cochrane, MEDLINE, CINAHL, EBSCO and Web of Science were searched from 1977 to August 2018. The primary outcomes were self-efficacy and self-care ability. Pooled effect sizes of standardised mean difference ( SMD ) were calculated if outcome measurements and the units were different, and if outcome measurements and the units were the same, such as measuring blood glucose by HbA1c, weighted mean difference ( WMD ) were used to calculate pooled effect sizes. Results Nine eligible randomised control trials (RCTs) including 1578 participants were identified. The results showed that interventions based on self-efficacy significantly improved patients′self-efficacy ( SMD=0.69, 95% CI :0.58 to 0.80, P<0.05) and self-management ( SMD=0.93,95% CI : 0.74 to 1.12, P<0.05), helped them control blood glucose ( WMD=-0.69, 95% CI :-0.85 to-0.52, P<0.05), reduced hospitalisation and emergency times, and improved their quality of life ( SMD=0.52,95% CI : 0.32 to 0.72, P<0.05). Conclusions Even though the results showed significant improvement in self-efficacy and self-management after interventions, the conclusion needs to be generalised with caution because of the quality of RCTs and high heterogeneity. Future trials could consider RCTs with high quality, appropriate sample size, specific component of diabetes management, and reliable and valid scales or objective measures as outcomes.

Objective To explore the status quo and influencing factors of caring efficacy of nursing undergraduate students so as to provide reference for improving their caring efficacy. Method A cross-sectional study was conducted. Totally 274 nursing undergraduate students from 10 general hospitals in Sichuan Province were surveyed by using general information questionnaire, professional model scale for nursing students, professional identity questionnaire for nursing students and caring efficacy scale. Results The average score of caring efficacy of undergraduate nursing students was (4.00 ±0.64), which was lower that of jurior nurse before training (4.55±0.34) and after training (4.98±0.27). The average score of career identity and professional model (3.63±0.68) were postively related with career effevtieness (all P<0.001). The care from family, medical staffs, job-taking benefits and dimission risks, social comparison and self-reflection were the main factors influencing caring efficacy (P<0.01), which explained 40.9% of the varianceof caring efficacy among undergraduate nursing students. Conclusions Caring efficacy of the nursing students was above the middle level, but lower than that of clinical junior nurses. Their professional model and professional identity were positively correlated with caring efficacy. It is necessary to establish a good professional model, through example education, perfect career planning and improve the professional identity of nursing undergraduate students, so as to improve their caring efficacy of nursing students, and then improve the quality of nursing team reserves.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the application effect of somatosensory interactive games in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in order to provide a basis for clinical application.Methods:Randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies on the application of somatosensory interactive games in patients with COPD were retrieved from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Wanfang, China Knowledge Network and VIP. The retrieval time limit is from the establishment of the database to October 2022. RevMan5.2 software was used for Meta analysis.Results:Ten articles involving 611 patients were included. The results of Meta-analysis showed that the somatosensory interactive game group was superior to the conventional training group in improving FEV 1/FVC% ( WMD=6.83, 95% CI 3.71-9.95, Z=4.29, P<0.01), 6-minute walking distance (6MWD) ( WMD=13.36, 95% CI 0.50-26.23, Z=2.04, P<0.05), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale ( WMD=-1.64, 95% CI -2.31--0.97, Z=4.78, P<0.01), COPD Assessment Test score ( WMD=-2.95, 95%CI -4.08--1.82, Z=5.13, P<0.01) in COPD patients. However, there was no significant difference in FEV1 % ( WMD=2.91, 95% CI -1.61-7.43, P=0.210) and dyspnea ( SMD=0.63,95% CI -0.24-1.49, P=0.150) between the two groups. Conclusions:Compared with conventional training, somatosensory interactive game training can effectively improve lung function and quality of life in patients with COPD, relieve anxiety and depression. Due to the limited quantity and quality of the included literature, the reliability of the conclusions still needs to be verified by more high-quality studies.

Tibial dyschondroplasia (TD) cases has not been reported in Tibetan chickens (TBCs), but it is commonly seen in commercial broilers characterized by lameness. The underlying mechanism remains unclear. Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are important regulators of cellular adaptation to hypoxic conditions. In this study, we investigated the role of HIF-1α,
