Objective To explore the real experiences of nutrition impact symptoms in esophageal cancer patients during diagnosis and treatment,and to provide references for developing nutritional management strategies.Methods Using purposive sampling,15 esophageal cancer patients admitted to the thoracic surgery department of a tertiary grade A hospital in Guangzhou from October to December 2024 were selected for semi-structured interviews.Thematic analysis was used for data analysis.Results 4 themes and 12 sub-themes were identified:①Multiple symptom perceptions:esophageal obstruction-dysphagia,appetite-affecting symptoms,multiple symptom over-lap,and individual differences in symptom perception.② Insufficient symptom cognition:overestimation of symptom controllability and biased symptom attribution.③ Negative emotional reactions:anxiety and fear about eating,frustration with declining eating function,and helplessness and guilt about losing control over eating.④ Di-verse symptom coping strategies:avoidance coping,adaptive coping,and active nutritional management.Conclusion The nutrition impact symptom experiences of esophageal cancer patients are complex and diverse.Healthcare professionals should promptly identify and assess nutrition impact symptoms,provide nutrition health education,strengthen psychological guidance,and develop culturally distinctive individualized nutritional management strategies.

In the current era filled with change and challenges,public hospitals,as a crucial part of the national healthcare system,urgently need to enhance their agility to swiftly respond to the ever-changing environment.Current it outlines the origins and connotations of organizational agility,argues for the necessity of organizational agility in public hospitals,and proposes the core competencies required to maintain organizational agility in public hospitals,namely:patient-centeredness,environmental sensitivity,proactive planning,organizational integration capability,flexibility,rapid response,iterative regulation,and continuous learning.Furthermore,it attempts to establish a cultivation pathway for organizational agility in public hospitals,encompassing multiple dimensions such as organizational culture,agile leadership,communication systems,organizational structure,the embedding of new productivity,management systems,partner management,training systems,performance evaluation,and compliance management.

Breast cancer is the number one killer threatening women's health, and the side effects caused by its treatment seriously affect patients' quality of life. Research has confirmed that good patient activation can effectively improve the quality of life of breast cancer patients, and it is of great significance to improve the quality of care and the recovery process of breast cancer patients.The purpose of this study is to review the current situation, assessment tools, influencing factors, and interventions of breast cancer patients' activation, in order to provide reference for researchers to conduct patient activation-related studies in the future.

Objective:To construct a perioperative pain nursing protocol for thoracoscopic surgery patients, providing a reference for clinical pain nursing practice.Methods:An evidence-based approach was used to search relevant guidelines and extract the best evidence. The initial draft was created through discussions among the research team, followed by two rounds of Delphi expert consultations. Based on the experts' suggestions, the protocol was revised and the best plan was finalized.Results:A total of 10 guidelines were included, and 22 experts participated in two rounds of consultations. The response rate for the consultation questionnaires was 100.00% (22/22) , with expert authority coefficients of 0.94 and 0.95 for the two rounds, respectively. The coefficient of variation for all indicators in the second round ranged from 0.04 to 0.24. The final pain nursing protocol included four primary indicators: personnel preparation, pain assessment, pain education, and pain intervention, with 10 secondary indicators and 27 tertiary indicators.Conclusions:The constructed perioperative pain nursing protocol for thoracoscopic surgery patients is significant, scientific, comprehensive, and targeted. It provides theoretical support and practical guidance for pain management, helping to reduce postoperative pain in patients.

Objective:To examine the burden and trends of acute viral hepatitis in Guangdong Province from 1990 to 2019, and provide reference evidences for hepatitis prevention and control in the province.Methods:Data on acute viral hepatitis (hepatitis A, B, C, and E) in Guangdong from 1990 to 2019 were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 database. The incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) data were analyzed by age and gender, and the estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) was calculated to describe the changing trends in disease burden.Results:From 1999 to 2019, the standardized incidence, prevalence, mortality, and DALY of acute viral hepatitis in Guangdong were higher than the national averages. In 2019, 51.43% (2 245 087/4 365 221) of acute viral hepatitis cases in Guangdong Province were mainly attributed to hepatitis B, and 77.18% (106/138) of deaths were due to acute hepatitis B. In different age groups, except for acute hepatitis B, which was more common in adults, the incidence rates of other types of viral hepatitis such as hepatitis A, B, and E showed an overall decreasing trend with age. The mortality rates of different types of acute viral hepatitis, except for the <5 age group, increased with age. The overall incidence and mortality rates of acute viral hepatitis were higher in men than in women.Conclusions:The overall burden of acute viral hepatitis in Guangdong declined in 2019, but remained higher than the national level. Further efforts are needed to strengthen hepatitis prevention and screening in different population in Guangdong Province, especially in children and the elderly.

Cardiovascular dysfunction and reduced exercise capacity are common adverse effects of anti-cancer treatments, severely impacting the prognosis and quality of life of cancer patients. This review summarizes the intervention protocols and application effects of resistance training on cardiovascular function and/or exercise capacity in cancer patients. The aim is to provide a reference for the practice of exercise interventions targeting cardiovascular function and exercise capacity among cancer patients in China.
