    Abstract: There is limited information about how racial and cultural similarities or differences between patient and caregiver may affect quality care. The purpose of this study was to explore caregiving and receiving experiences among older Chinese immigrants and their home health aides by using in-depth interviews in culturally concordant dyads in a community setting. Methodology: A purposive sample of 10 dyads of older Chinese immigrants and their home health aides were recruited using a snowball sampling method ( N = 20). All interviews were audio recorded, transcribed, and coded for qualitative content analysis. Results: The majority of older adults were female ( n = 8) and their average age was 76.8 years. The following themes emerged: companionship and rapport, reconciling the need for care services with the expectations of family, the value of matched gender, language, and ethnic foodculture, assisting with daily routines, and experiencing caregiving burden due to a dual role. Discussion: This study elucidated the dynamics between care recipients and their caregivers with shared cultural backgrounds.

    Abstract: This paper presents a modified theoretical model for determining the load carrying capacity of reinforced concrete slabs. Based on the force and moment equilibrium requirement at the yield-line section, a new stress failure criterion was established to explain the failure mode of crushing of concrete. The effectiveness of the present model was validated through satisfactory comparison with results from experiments and other theoretical simulations. Unlike the previous studies, the model can reasonably interpret why for the similar reinforcement the square slabs always fail at a lower vertical displacement compared with the rectangular slabs.

    Abstract: The present study was designed to investigate bilingual memory representations in less fluent Chinese–English bilinguals and the effect of word familiarity on bilingual memory representations with a translation priming paradigm and the event-related potential (ERP) technique. Three factors (translation order, word familiarity, and repetition status) were manipulated in this study, and the major dependent variable was the magnitude of the N400 repetition effect, which is related to semantic expectation and is an important physiological index of language processing. The results confirmed the asymmetry in bilingual memory with stronger L2–LI links compared to L1–L2 links in less fluent Chinese–English bilinguals, and that word familiarity was an important factor in the memory representations of these less fluent bilinguals.

    Abstract: Due to the significantly negative impact of the coronavirus (CoV) disease (COVID-19) pandemic on the health of the community and the economy, it remains urgent and necessary to develop a safe and effective treatment method for COVID-19. Huang-Lian-Shang-Qing-Wan (HLSQW) is a herbal formula of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that has been applied extensively for treating “wind-heat-associated” symptoms in the upper parts of the body. The objective of the present in silico study was to investigate the potential effects of HLSQW in the context of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV-2 infection. We analyzed the possible interactions between bioactive compounds within HLSQW on targets that may confer antiviral activity using network pharmacology and pharmacophore-based screening. HLSQW was found to potentially target a number of pathways and the expression of various genes to regulate cell physiology and, consequently, the anti-viral effects against SARS-CoV-2. Bioactive compounds contained within HLSQW may exert combined effects to reduce the production of proinflammatory factors, which may trigger the “cytokine storm” in patients with severe COVID-19. Results from molecular modeling suggested that the bioactive HLSQW components puerarin, baicalin, and daidzin exhibit high binding affinity to the active site of 3-chymotrypsin-like cysteine protease (3CLpro) to form stable ligand-protein complexes, thereby suppressing SARS-CoV-2 replication. In addition, our results also demonstrated protective effects of the HLSQW extract against cell injury induced by the proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6, against reactive oxygen species production and nuclear factor-κB activity in normal human lung cells in vitro. To conclude, HLSQW is a potential TCM remedy that warrants further study with the aim of developing an effective treatment for COVID-19 in the future.

    Abstract: The Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) has been reported to be correlated with long-term outcomes after gastrointestinal tumor surgery. However, to our knowledge, only a few studies have shown that the PNI is related to cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, we aimed to assess the association between the PNI and long-term outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods This was retrospective observational study. A total of 3561 patients with CAD after PCI were retrospectively enrolled in the CORFCHD-ZZ study from January 2013 to December 2017. The patients (3519) were divided into three groups according to PNI tertiles: the first tertile (PNI  〈  47.12, n = 1173), the second tertile (47.12 ≤ PNI  〈  51.50, n = 1185), and the third tertile (PNI ≥ 51.50, n = 1161). The mean follow-up time was 37.59 ± 22.24 months. The primary endpoint long-term mortality, including all-cause mortality (ACM) and cardiac mortality (CM).Secondary endpoints were major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs). Result In our study, the incidences of ACM in the first, second, and third tertiles were 3.8%, 1.8% and 1.4%, respectively ( P  〈  0.001). The incidences of CM occurring in the first, second, and third tertiles were 1.7%, 3.1% and 2.1%, respectively ( P  〈  0.001).There was statistically significant different in primary endpoints incidence. MACEs occurred in 139 patients (11.8%) in the first tertile, 121 patients(11.1%) in the second tertile and 123 patients(10.8%) in the third tertile( P = 0.691). MACCEs occurred in 183 patients (15.6%) in the first tertile, 174 patients(14.7%) in the second tertile and 160 patients(13.85%) in the third tertile( P = 0.463).There was no statistically significant different in secondary endpoints incidence. Kaplan–Meier analyses showed that elevated PNI was significantly related to long-term CM (log rank, P   〈  0.001) and long-term ACM (log-rank, P   〈  0.001). Cox regression analyses suggested that compared with the patients in the first tertile, the risk of ACM was decreased to 60.9% (HR = 0.609, 95% CI: 0.398–0.932, P = 0.029) in the second tertile and 40.3%(HR = 0.403, 95% CI: 0.279–0.766, P = 0.003) in the third tertile, while the risk of CM was decreased to 58.8%(HR = 0.588, 95% CI: 0.321–0.969, P = 0.038) in the second tertile and 46.6%(HR = 0.466, 95% CI: 0.250–0.870, P = 0.017) in the third tertile. Multivariate Cox regression analyses showed that the PNI was an independent predictor of long-term ACM and CM. Conclusion Our finding shown that PNI is an independent predictor in CAD patients after PCI,the higher the PNI, the less occurring adverse event. Therefore,PNI may be an new biomarker to predict long-term outcome of CAD patients after PCI.

    Abstract: Monocyte to lymphocyte ratio (MLR) has been confirmed as a novel marker of poor prognosis in patients with coronary heart disease (CAD). However, the prognosis value of MLR for patients with CAD after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) needs further studies. In present study, we aimed to investigate the correlation between MLR and long-term prognosis in patients with CAD after PCI. A total of 3,461 patients with CAD after PCI at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were included in the analysis. According to the cutoff value of MLR, all of the patients were divided into 2 groups: the low-MLR group ( 〈 0.34, n = 2338) and the high-MLR group (≥0.34, n = 1123). Kaplan–Meier curve was performed to compare the long-term outcome. Multivariate COX regression analysis was used to assess the independent predictors for all-cause mortality, cardiac mortality and MACCEs. Multivariate COX regression analysis showed that the high MLR group had significantly increased all-cause mortality (ACM) [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.366, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.366-3.650, p = 0.001] and cardiac mortality (CM) (HR = 2.379, 95%CI: 1.611-3,511, p 〈 0.001) compared to the low MLR group. And high MLR was also found to be highly associated with major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) (HR = 1.227, 95%CI: 1.003-1.500, p = 0.047) in patients with CAD undergoing PCI. MLR was an independent predictor of ACM, CM and MACCEs in CAD patients who underwent PCI.

    Abstract: To analyze the association between hemoglobin glycation index (HGI) and the long-term prognosis of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods Predicted glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level was calculated using an established formula and HGI represented the difference between laboratory measured HbA1c and predicted HbA1c. A total of 1780 patients were stratified into three subgroups (HGI 〈 −0.4, −0.4 ≦ HGI 〈 0.12 and HGI ≧ 0.12). The primary endpoints included all-cause mortality (ACM) and cardiac mortality (CM). The secondary endpoints were major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs). Results ACM occurred in 54 patients: 22 (3.7) in the low-HGI subgroup, 8 (1.3) in the moderate-HGI subgroup and 24 (4.1) in the high-HGI subgroup ( p = .012). After adjusting for the traditional clinical prognostic factors, multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that patients in both the low and high HGI subgroups had significantly increased risk of ACM as compared with patients in the moderate HGI subgroup (hazard ratio [ HR] = 4.979, 95% confidence interval [ CI] : 1.865–13.297, p = .001 and HR = 2.918, 95% CI: 1.075–7.922, p = .036). However, we did not find significant differences in the incidence of CM, MACEs and MACCEs. Conclusion HGI can predicts risk for long-term mortality in patients undergoing PCI. This index could be helpful for the effective clinical management of the CAD population.

    Abstract: The role of activation of the coagulation and fibrinolysis system in the pathogenesis and prognosis of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) has drawn wide attention. Recently, the D-dimer to fibrinogen ratio (DFR) is considered as a useful biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of ischemic stroke and pulmonary embolism. However, few studies have explored the relationship between DFR and cardiovascular disease. In our study, patients were divided into 2 groups according to DFR value: the lower group (DFR 〈 0.52, n = 2123) and the higher group (DFR ≥ 0.52, n = 1073). The primary outcome was all-cause mortality (ACM) and cardiac mortality (CM). The average follow-up time was 37.59 ± 22.24 months. We found that there were significant differences between the 2 groups in term of ACM (2.4% vs 6.6%, P 〈 0.001) and CM (1.5% vs 4.0%, P 〈 0.001). Kaplan–Meier analyses showed that elevated DFR had higher incidences of ACM (log rank P 〈 0.001) and CM (log rank P 〈 0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analyses showed that DFR was an independent predictor of ACM (HR = 1.743, 95%CI: 1.187-2.559 P = 0.005) and CM (HR = 1.695, 95%CI: 1.033-2.781 P = 0.037). This study indicates that DFR is an independent and novel predictor of long-term ACM and CM in post-PCI patients with CAD.

    Abstract: Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is widely integrated into cancer care in China. An overview in 2011 identified 2384 randomized and non-randomized controlled trials (RCTs, non-RCTs) on TCM for cancer published in the Chinese literature. This article summarizes updated evidence of RCTs on TCM for cancer care. Methods: We searched 4 main Chinese databases: China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Scientific Journal Database, SinoMed, and Wanfang. RCTs on TCM used in cancer care were analyzed in this bibliometric study. Results: Of 5834 RCTs (477 157 cancer patients), only 62 RCTs were indexed in MEDLINE. The top 3 cancers treated were lung, stomach, and breast cancer. About 4752 RCTs (81.45%) tested TCM combined with conventional treatment, and 1082 RCTs (18.55%) used TCM alone for treating symptoms and side-effects. Herbal medicine was the most frequently used TCM modality (5087 RCTs; 87.20%). The most frequently reported outcome was symptom improvement (3712 RCTs; 63.63%) followed by quality of life (2725 RCTs; 46.71%), and biomarkers (2384 RCTs; 40.86%). The majority of RCTs (4051; 69.44%) concluded there were beneficial effects using either TCM alone or TCM plus conventional treatment compared with conventional treatment. Conclusion: Substantial randomized trials demonstrated different types/stages of cancer were treated by various TCM modalities, alone or in combination with conventional medicine. Further evaluation on the effects and safety of TCM modalities focusing on outcomes such as quality of life is required.
