Evidence-based nursing practice was used to formulate the enhanced recovery surgery bundle nursing strategy and apply it to patients with gastric cancer, to explore its safety, effectiveness and feasibility in perioperative gastrointestinal function protection in patients with gastric cancer. Selected the clinical medical records of 100 gastric cancer patients treated in our hospital from June 2019 to June 2021 as the research objects, and divided them into the control group and the observation group with 50 cases in each group according to the random number table. Among them, the control group was given routine nursing measures for nursing intervention, and the observation group was given gastrointestinal enhanced recovery surgery cluster nursing on the basis of the control group. ⋯ After nursing, heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), norepinephrine (NE), and epinephrine (E2) in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < .05). The pain scores of the 2 groups were significantly improved at different time points, and the observation group was significantly less than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < .05). Gastrointestinal enhanced recovery surgery bundle nursing can effectively improve the gastrointestinal function of patients with gastric cancer, improve the emotional response and stress response of patients, and has certain reference value for the nursing of patients with gastric cancer.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most malignant tumors with a poor prognosis. The long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) has been found to have great potential as a prognostic biomarker or therapeutic target for cancer patients. However, the prognostic value and tumor immune infiltration of lncRNAs in HCC has yet to be fully elucidated. ⋯ A 6-lncRNA panel of HCC consisting of RHPN1-AS1, LINC01224, CTD-2510F5.4, RP1-228H13.5, LINC01011, and RP11-324I22.4 was eventually identified, and show good performance in predicting the survivals of patients with HCC and distinguishing the immunomodulation of TIME of high- and low-risk patients. Functional analysis also suggested that this 6-lncRNA panel may play an essential role in promoting tumor progression and immune regulation of TIME. In this study, 6 potential lncRNAs were identified as the prognostic biomarkers in HCC, and the regulatory mechanisms involved in HCC were initially explored.

Acupuncture and rehabilitation therapy (RT) have been widely used for post-stroke shoulder pain (PSSP), but the efficacy of acupuncture versus RT remains unclear. Our aim was to assess the efficacy of acupuncture versus RT for PSSP. ⋯ Acupuncture is similar to RT in relieving shoulder pain, improving upper limb motor function and ADL in patients with PSSP. Either acupuncture or RT might be the optimal treatment of PSSP. More well-designed RCTs of this topic are needed in the future.

Review Case Reports
Neuroendocrine tumors in a patient with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 syndrome: A case report and review of the literature.
Hyperparathyroidism is caused by parathyroid tumors combined with gastroenteropancreatic tumors and pituitary tumors, which is common in patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia 1 syndrome (MEN-1). As its main pathogenic factor involves genetic mutations, it can cause a variety of different clinical symptoms. However, cases with negative genetic testing results and multiple nonfunctional malignant neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) with metastasis are relatively rare. ⋯ As an autosomal dominant hereditary disease, MEN-1 patients present with parathyroid hyperplasia, pancreatic and intestinal tumors, pituitary tumors, and so on, which are caused by genetic mutations. These patients would have hyperparathyroidism, hypoglycemia, gastric ulcer, and gastrointestinal diseases. However, some patients with MEN-1 syndrome cannot be diagnosed by genetic testing and simultaneously present with multiple nonfunctional NETs with systemic metastasis. This increases the difficulty of diagnosis and the subsequent treatment.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Efficacy of perioperative cryotherapy combined with intra-articular injection of tranexamic acid in total knee arthroplasty.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of perioperative cryotherapy combined with intra-articular injection of tranexamic acid (TXA) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and explore a new strategy of enhanced recovery after TKA. ⋯ Continuous cryotherapy combined with intra-articular injection of TXA provides short-term advantages in reducing blood loss, pain, postoperative swelling, p-LOS and increasing ROM and joint function in the early postoperative period after TKA without increasing any severe complications.
