Objective To systematically evaluate the real-life experience of stroke patients in the hospital-home transition period,and to provide a reference for better clinical development of transitional nursing practice.Methods We searched PubMed,Web of Science,Embase,CINAHL,Cochrane library,CNKI,Wanfang Data,VIP database,and China Biomedical Literature Database for qualitative studies on the real experience of stroke patients in the hospital-to-home transition period from the establishment of the database to October 2023.The quality of the literature was evaluated using the Joanna Brigg Institute(JBI)Australian Centre for Evidence-Based Health Care Quality Assessment Criteria for Qualitative Research(2016),and the results were integrated using meta-integration methods.Results A total of 14 studies were included,and 48 research results were extracted and 9 categories were summarized.The final synthesis included 3 integrated results:the discharge preparation period was in contradiction;after being discharged from the hospital,life changed dramatically and there was a variety of transition barriers;active response to illness and the experience of self-growth.Conclusion The hospital-home transition period for stroke patients is a critical period for patients'rehabilitation,and medical staff should strengthen the implementation of the transitional discharge plan,strengthen the connection between hospitals and families and communities,pay attention to the psychological experience of patients,so as to help stroke patients achieve a smooth transition from hospital to home.

OBJECTIVETo study the feasibility of magnetron sputtering Cr-Ti-Al-N complex coating as an interlayer on titanium to enhance the titanium-ceramic binding strength.
METHODSWith a three-point bending test according to ISO 9693, the binding strength of Duceratin (Degussa) to titanium substrate prepared with 4 different surface treatments (polishing, polishing and megnetron sputtering Cr, Ti, Al, and N complex coating, sandblasting, sandblasting and coating) was evaluated. Ti/porcelain interface and fractured Ti surface were examined using scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS).
RESULTSThe binding strength of polished and coated titanium/Duceratin was significantly higher than polished titanium group (P<0.05). The binding strength of sandblasted and coated titanium/Duceratin did not differ significantly from that of sandblasted titanium group (P>0.05), and the strength in the two sandblasted titanium groups was significantly higher than that in polished and coated titanium group (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONMegnetron sputtering Cr-Ti-Al-N complex on polished titanium can increase the titanium/porcelain binding strength. Megnetron sputtering coating is a promising Ti/porcelain interlayer.

Objective To summarize the most robust evidence on application timing and management strategies for chronic wound oxygen therapy and to provide an evidence-based basis for standardizing clinical practice.Methods A systematic literature search of BMJ Best Practice,UpToDate,NICE,SIGN,GIN,NZGG,NGC,RNAO,WOCN,WUWHS,APWCA,IWII,WHS,WI,AWMA,WCET,ESVS,AAWC,Medlive,JBI,Cochrane Library,PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,CNKI,Wanfang and VIP was conducted to collect the literature including clinical decision resources,guidelines,expert consensuses,evidence summaries,systematic reviews,and meta-analyses related to the application timing and management strategies for chronic wound oxygen therapy.The search period spanned from October 13,2018,to October 13,2023.There were 2 researchers who assessed the quality of the included literature,extracted relevant data,and synthesized the evidence.Results In total,we included 28 pieces of literature,consisting of 6 guidelines,4 expert consensus papers,3 evidence summaries,and 15 systematic reviews.From these sources,we distilled 18 pieces of evidence including 7 aspects of indications,contraindications,application timing,assessment,management strategies,effectiveness,and adverse reactions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy;12 pieces of evidence from 6 aspects of indications,application time,assessment,management strategies,effectiveness,and adverse reactions of local oxygen therapy.Conclusion Oxygen therapy can be used as an adjunct therapy for chronic wound management.Clinical practitioners should fully evaluate the scope and timing of the application of oxygen therapy,consider the feasibility,suitability,clinical signific ance,and effectiveness of evidence based on the specific clinical situations,and apply evidence in combination with patient preferences to promote chronic wound healing.
